Positive
  • Dedicated Capacity revenue increased to $5,093,721 from $3,586,471 (an increase of $1,507,250, shown as 42.0%)
  • Utilization growth: Dedicated Capacity Truck Days rose to 15,139 from 9,045 (67.4% increase)
  • One-time gain of $1,607,766 from extinguishment of debt recorded
  • Financing provided significant cash: net cash provided by financing activities of $4,242,023
Negative
  • Total assets decreased to $5,690,245 from $10,037,312
  • Current liabilities exceed total assets (current liabilities $6,345,005 vs total assets $5,690,245; deficit $654,760)
  • Material interest expense of $675,628
  • Net decrease in cash of $(309,868) reported in the period

Insights

TL;DR: Mixed operational growth with tangible financing activity but balance-sheet strains remain.

The filing shows operational gains: Dedicated Capacity revenue rose to $5.09M and Dedicated Capacity Truck Days increased to 15,139, indicating higher utilization or scale in that segment. A significant non-operating benefit is a $1.61M gain from extinguishment of debt, and financing provided $4.24M of cash. However, total assets of $5.69M are lower than prior and below current liabilities of $6.35M, implying a working capital deficit of $654,760 on the face of reported numbers. Interest expense remains material at $675,628. These facts suggest the company is growing a core segment while relying on financing and one-time debt extinguishment benefits; liquidity and recurring profitability dynamics require further disclosure.

TL;DR: Required signatures present; reporting includes material financings and balance-sheet changes requiring close oversight.

The amended 10-K/A is signed by the CEO and CFO, and it discloses material shifts in assets, liabilities, and financing activity. The presence of a gain on debt extinguishment and sizable financing inflows should be clearly explained in related notes for transparency. Share capital figures and large changes in reported asset and liability balances suggest reviewers should confirm disclosures on related-party transactions, debt terms, and going-concern considerations; those details are not included in the extracted excerpts.

Revenues

 

Fr8Tech’s revenues decreased to $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a reduction of $3.3 million and 19.5% on year-over-year basis. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by: (1) our continued efforts to focus on higher margin customers and lanes in the spot market which impacted overall volume across the platform; (2) reduced spot market and dedicated service activity in the third quarter 2023 due to customer specific circumstances; and, (3) an approximate 3.5% decline in the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar year-over-year, which reduced the US dollar amount of Mexican peso based revenue on a comparative basis. Our spot market revenue declined 36% to $8.6 million in 2024, partially offset by a 42% increase in our Fr8Fleet revenue to $5.1 million and to a lesser extent the launch of Waavely, our ocean container freight brokerage service.

The Freight Transportation Brokerage service line experienced a 31% decline in the number of shipments; 35% lower for US domestic, 24% lower in Mexico domestic, and a 36% lower for cross-border shipments.

The Dedicated Capacity service line experienced a 67% increase in the number of truck days made available to our Fr8Fleet customers. One truck day means a standard 53’ dry-van trailer and truck being available to serve the customer for one full working day. The increase in truck days exceeded the increase in revenue, primarily due to the Company providing significantly more local, short-haul capacity in 2024 for its primary Fr8Fleet customer, Kimberly Clark de Mexico (KCM), which is provided at a lower daily rate than longer haul capacity.

 

Fr8Tech’s revenues decreased to $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a reduction of $8.8 million and 34.1% on year-over-year basis. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by: (1) our decision to limit activity with low-margin, but high-volume customers; (2) the loss of one customer due to non-recurring issue with a particular Carrier; and, (3) reduced spot market activity across several accounts driven by challenges in securing sufficient carrier capacity in the first half of 2023 and US market rates that were significantly lower than in 2022. This was partially offset by a 67% increase in our Fr8Fleet revenue and the addition of more than 30 new customers in our spot market FTL and LTL businesses.

 

Costs of Revenue

 

The Company’s cost of revenue for both freight brokerage and dedicated services is entirely comprised of the costs our carriers incur and invoice us to perform the service. In the case of freight brokerage services, this reflects their total costs for hauling the customers freight from origin to destination. In the case of dedicated capacity services, this reflects having the trucks available to haul freight for the customer and costs related to any freight movements. For both services, these costs include any accessorial charges carriers may incur such as loading or unloading, drayage, stoppage, fuel surcharges, border-crossing, packing materials, etc.

 

Fr8Tech’s cost of revenue decreased to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a reduction of $3.3 million and 21.1% on a year-over-year basis. Year-over-year cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the decline in revenue. The improved contribution from lower cost of revenue was primarily due to change in product mix, variation in specific customer and carrier rates on certain lanes and in the traffic mix itself over the year. The Fr8Fleet business, which grew 42% in 2024, improved its contribution primarily due to providing additional capacity for Kimberly Clark de Mexico and expanding service to several additional large enterprise end-customers.

 

Fr8Tech’s cost of revenue decreased to $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a reduction of $7.9 million and 33.5% on a year-over-year basis. This year-over-year decrease moved in similar fashion and magnitude with our revenue, with some differences due to varying margins in the traffic and in the traffic mix itself from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. The contribution improved in 2023 primarily due to product mix. The Fr8Fleet business, which grew 67% in 2023, incurred a slightly lower contribution than our spot market services due to higher initial service costs to develop that offering over the year.

 

Compensation and Employee Benefits

 

Fr8Tech’s compensation and employee benefits expenses were $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was a $0.6 million or 10.3% decrease on a year-over-year basis. The decrease was primarily due lower executive compensation and bonuses, lower stock based compensation, and a weaker Mexican peso relative to the US dollar, partially offset by some additional hiring. Total employees and FTE contractors, who are included in our compensation costs, at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 100 and 89, respectively. The increase in the number of employees in 2024 was primarily within sales, technology and operations.

 

In January and February 2025, the Company undertook a cost cutting initiative to optimize resources for operational performance and shifting sales focus to emphasize sales of the Company’s TMS software offering, Fleet Rocket, and to lower ongoing operating expenses. The Company reduced its workforce by approximately 20%. As a result of these measures, the Company anticipates that its compensation and employee benefit expenses will be lower in 2025 than in 2024.

Fr8Tech’s compensation and employee benefits expenses were $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was a $1.0 million or 20.2% increase on a year-over-year basis. The increase was primarily due to stock compensation costs related to new grants issued during 2022 and 2023 and hiring new employees in dedicated services, business intelligence and carrier procurement. As noted above, the total number of employees and FTE contractors was 89 at December 31, 2023, at which time the company was making several personnel changes, mostly on the sales team.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was a decrease of $1.2 million or 37.7%, primarily due to a favorable change in the exchange valuation of working capital balances and to a lesser extent lower outside legal expenses and insurance costs, partially offset by higher spend on software, audit services, and recruiting.

 

General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was a decrease of $0.4 million or 11.2%, primarily due to lower outside legal counsel and public company costs.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $66 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $80 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was a decrease of $14 thousand or 17.5%. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses in 2024 was primarily to lower direct advertising expenses, which is focused on online industry media and platforms. We continue to use direct and online advertising and social media platforms for promotion and attracting new Shippers and Carriers to our Platform. We expect these costs to increase modestly to support growth of our business across our brands and new software offering.

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $80 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $557 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was a decrease of $477 thousand or 85.6%. The decrease in marketing expenses in 2023 was mostly due to a strategic alliance during 2022 with a US-based counterparty that was working with us to originate and manage US domestic business and that was paid for with the issuance of Ordinary shares in 2022.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the amortization of previously capitalized software development costs, as appropriate, and depreciation expenses related to Fr8App’s fixed assets. This expense increased $25 thousand to $430 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $405 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to additional software development of Fr8Tech platform in 2023 and 2024, as well as software development efforts in 2024 to build Fleet Rocket, our TMS software platform that was launched in February 2025.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased to $405 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $243 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $161 thousand or 66.7% on a year-over-year basis, due to the completion of the application development stage of Fr8Tech platform which resulted in an increase of capitalized software amortization.

 

Other income and expenses

 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased to $674 thousand from $808 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, or by $134 thousand primarily due lower interest incurred on the convertible note that was issued in 2023, partially offset by higher interest expense incurred on the company’s revolving credit facility and promissory notes issued in 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, other income and expense included a gain of $1.6 million from the extinguishment of the convertible notes issued in 2023 and the promissory notes issued in 2024, as well as a gain of $22 thousand from a change in fair value of convertible note.

 

Components of gain from debt extinguishment ($)    
Principal of Promissory Term Notes  $875,000 
Promissory Note Accrued Interest   30,822 
Book Value of Convertible Note   219,840 
Convertible Note Accrued Interest   482,104 
Total  $1,607,766 

 

There were no other related considerations or contingencies. The debt cancellation agreement did not require the Company to issue any additional ordinary shares, preferred shares or warrants to either entity.

 

Interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to $808 thousand from $907 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to a debt discount amortization for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was higher than interest expenses incurred in 2023 related to the convertible note that was issued in 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, other income and expense also included expensing the fair value of warrants issued as an inducement for convertible note conversion and as an additional consideration for an increase in convertible note funding, in the total amount of $499 and a gain of $345 from a change in fair value of convertible note. The convertible note issued during 2023 and warrants and related accounting treatment are more fully described in Notes 11 and 15, respectively, of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss

 

Fr8Tech’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased to $5.6 million from $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 or by $3.7 million or 40% on a year-over-year basis, as a result of the items described above.

 

Fr8Tech’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased to $9.3 million from $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 or by $1.1 million or 13.9% on a year-over-year basis, as a result of the items described above.

 

Liquidity and Financial Position

 

Fr8Tech has historically met its cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, term loans, promissory notes, bonds, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity. Fr8Tech’s cash requirements are generally for operating activities and debt repayments. Fr8Tech funded its early operations with a combination of debt and equity and we continue to work to position the Company to operate on a go-forward basis with a minimal amount of long-term debt and other borrowings. On January 3, 2023, Fr8Tech closed on a $6.6 million convertible note facility with a private investor, which was increased to $9.9 million in April 2023. The convertible note was mostly converted to equity during 2023. The balance of the convertible note of $219 thousand as of June 30, 2024, was extinguished in September 2024. The Company entered into a $750 thousand 1-year term note purchase agreement with Freight Opportunities, LLC on March 11, 2024, and an additional term note for $125 thousand with Freight Opportunities, LLC on June 4, 2024. Both promissory notes were also extinguished in September 2024.

 

Our combined accounts receivable and unbilled receivable balance of $4.1 million at December 31, 2024, declined by declined by $2.3 million or 35.9% from $6.3 million at December 31, 2023, which was primarily due to lower revenue and collections to reduce our outstanding AR balance over the year.

 

Fr8Tech’s accounts payable, short-term borrowings and accrued expenses decreased by $867 thousand or 12.5% on a year-over-year comparative basis to $6.1 million, due mostly to lower accrued expenses on lower costs of revenue and accounts payable. At December 31, 2024, Fr8Tech has an accumulated net capital deficient of -$33 thousand, and net working capital of -$1.2 million.

In March 2019, we secured a revolving line of credit that is used to assist with managing our working capital needs. The maximum principal amount that may be drawn under the line of credit was increased since then to $5 million, which remains in place. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the amount drawn under this facility was $3.3 million $2.8 million, respectively. We continue to incur short-term debt with this facility, which is collateralized by our accounts receivable, and we expect to maintain this debt facility to support ongoing operations.

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.9 million, short-term debt of $3.3 million, unrestricted cash of approximately $0.2 million and a working capital of approximately -$1.3 million. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported operating losses and negative cash flows from operations.

 

Most of cash resources of the Company fund operating activities. Through December 31, 2024, we have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale and issuance of our ordinary and preferred shares, convertible promissory notes, promissory notes and debt.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital moving forward, our ability to operate in the normal course and continue to invest in our business may be materially and adversely impacted and we may be forced to scale back operations or divest some or all of our assets.

 

As a result of the above, in connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that our liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash flows used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities represent the cash receipts and disbursements related to our activities other than investing and financing activities. We expect cash provided by operating activities to be our primary use of funds for the foreseeable future as the Company continues to fund its growing operations

 

Net cash flows used in operating activities is derived by adjusting our net loss for:

 

  non-cash operating items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and other non-cash income or expenses;
  changes in operating assets and liabilities reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in results of operations as well as any gains from extinguishment of debt or changes in value of preferred stock.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million which consisted of a net loss of $5.6 million adjusted for non-cash charges of -$0.2 million and net positive changes in our net operating assets and liabilities of $1.6 million. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of gain on extinguishment of debt of -$1.6 million and a change in the fair value of convertible note of $23 thousand, offset by share-based compensation costs of $1.0 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to net decreases in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $1.5 million, prepaid assets and deposits of $0.4 million, and income and VAT tax balances $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.5 million. The changes in our accounts receivable and accounts payable balances are primarily the result of the overall decrease in business activities and higher collections relative to the prior year.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $5.8 million which consisted of a net loss of $9.3 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.8 million and net changes in our net operating assets and liabilities amounting to $1.7 million. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of share-based compensation costs of $1.2 million, interest accruals on convertible notes of $0.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million, and conversion inducement expense of $0.1 million, partially offset by a change in fair value of convertible note of $0.3 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to net decreases in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $1.1 million, prepaid assets and deposits of $0.3 million, and accounts payable of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase of accrued expenses and income tax payable of $0.5 million. The changes in our accounts payable and accounts receivable balances are primarily the result of the overall decrease in business activities relative to the prior year.

 

Cash flows used in Investing Activities

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $346 thousand, mostly for software development efforts for additional functionalities and capabilities of the Fr8App platform and related offerings, as well as building out Fleet Rocket.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $336 thousand, mostly for software development efforts for additional functionalities and capabilities of the Fr8App platform and related offerings.

 

Cash flows provided by Financing Activities

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million. The cash flow provided was from proceeds from the issuance of ordinary equity through our ATM program for $3.1 million, promissory notes of $0.9 million, and net borrowing revolving credit facility $0.5 million, partially offset by repayment of insurance financing for $0.2 million.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $6.8 million. The cash flow provided was primarily from net proceeds from the issuance of convertible note of $7.7 million, partially offset by a net repayment on borrowing facilities of $0.5 million, and repayment of insurance financing of $0.3 million.

 

Research and development, patents and licenses

 

The first commercial version of Fr8Tech’s products was launched in 2017. Fr8Tech continued its product development efforts throughout 2018, by adding initial business intelligence and analytics to supplement its basic products in 2019 and offered its revised products package with active freight brokerage support and customer service by year-end 2019. The second generation of Fr8Tech products were brought to market during the second quarter of 2020 and consisted of the online portal, mobile application, TMS functionality, and Fr8App’s platform supplemented with freight brokerage support and customer service integrations. In 2022, the Company began offering to the Mexican domestic market dedicated capacity under the Fr8Fleet brand and in 2023 LTL services under the Fr8Now brand, both powered and managed by the Fr8App platform and bringing much of the same capabilities and intelligence to both services.

The Company has continued to bring additional functionality and enhancements to its core Fr8App platform over the past several years, as well as launch new technology-based offerings, including Fr8Radar, Waavely, and most recently Fleet Rocket, the TMS software solution launched in February 2025.

 

Fr8Tech’s principal assets consist of its software, in which it invests continuously through development work by employees and externally contracted parties. Fr8Tech invested more than $0.3 million per year in software during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Fr8Tech expects to continue investing in its software in line with the expansion of its product offerings.

 

On January 7, 2021, Fr8App filed a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the Fr8Technologies design mark. Fr8App currently does not hold any patents or own any registered trademarks. Fr8App believes that the success of its business depends on the quality of its proprietary software solutions, technology, processes, and domain expertise. While it considers its intellectual property rights to be valuable, Fr8App believes that its competitive position depends primarily on its ability to increase and eventually to maintain a leadership position by developing innovative proprietary solutions, technology, information, processes, insights and business intelligence to satisfy both Shippers and Carriers’ needs through its Platform.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) prior to the filing of this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s internal control over financials reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

A material weakness 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. Also, 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 because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

 

The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2024, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting due to the existence of the following significant deficiency and material weakness:

 

Lack of a functional internal audit department or personnel that monitors the consistencies of the preventive internal control procedures and, as a result, the Company may not be able to discover the existence of problems and prevent the problematic behavior in internal controls; and
   
For revenue related to dedicated capacity for the year ended December 31, 2024, invoice and fulfilment reconciliations with the customer and general ledger entries related to dedicated service invoices and adjustments thereto were not always completed in a timely manner for internal reporting purposes.

Remediation

 

Since becoming a publicly-trade public, management has continuously worked to improve the Company’s internal controls. Our management has carried out and is continuing to undertake the following actions to remediate the material weakness and deficiency described above:

 

Engaged an external SOX 404 implementation firm in 2023 to assist in improving the Company’s controls, which included a deep-dive assessment of all policies and procedures and targeted actions to mitigate all weaknesses and deficiencies and bring all our internal controls compliant with SOX 404;
   
Strengthen designated roles and/or certain employees for ongoing maintenance of internal control policies and procedures, including enforcing existing policies, maintaining evidence of task and requirement completion, and updated process documentation, guidelines and communications to employees as necessary;
   
Continue ongoing training initiatives to ensure daily activities and practices of all employees are in alignment with our internal controls and US GAAP and compliant with established policies and procedures;
   
Hire finance professionals with strong SOX and internal control backgrounds; and
   
Implement system enhancements and new applications that are aligned with our focus on creating strong internal controls, as well as complete and accurate financial information.

 

Over the past year, management made significant progress with identifying, documenting, implementing and testing many controls to address previously identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. The effect cover core Company processes including: order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, hire-to-retire, information technology general controls, record-to-report, taxes, treasury & cash management, and corporate governance. The Company is continuing to review, test and updated its controls to ensure they remain effective.

 

However, we cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts are and will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts. In addition, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting related to the identified material weakness, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation plan described above.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is committed to improving the internal controls over financial reporting and will undertake consistent improvements or enhancements on an ongoing basis. Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our twelve months ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control

 

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, 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 or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

 

Independent Auditors’ Fees

 

The aggregate fees billed to the Company by the Company’s principal accountant for the indicated services for each of the last two fiscal years were as follows:

 

   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Audit Fees  $418,200   $256,250 
Audit-Related Fees        
Tax Fees        
All Other Fees   111,750     
Total  $529,950   $256,250 

 

As used in the table above, the following terms have the meanings set forth below.

 

Audit Fees

 

Audit fees consist of aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services performed by the Company’s principal accountant for the audit of the financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-Q and review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, reviews of registration statements and issuances of consents, and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

 

Audit-Related Fees

 

Audit-related fees consist of aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services performed by the Company’s principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under the paragraph captioned “Audit Fees” above. We did not engage our principal accountant to provide assurance or related services during the last two fiscal years.

 

Tax Fees

 

Tax fees consist of aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services performed by the Company’s principal accountant with respect to tax compliance, tax advice, tax consulting and tax planning. We did not engage our principal accountant to provide tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning services during the last two fiscal years.

 

All Other Fees

 

All other fees consist of aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the Company’s prior principal accountant, UHY LLP, for services other than those reported under the headings “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees” above. Such services included consent to reference prior period results as audited by their firm in our 2024 financial statements and a comfort letter for referencing our 2023 financial statements as audited by their firm for the Form 424B5 - Prospectus filed on May 23, 2024 for our ATM offering.

 

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved all fees earned in 2024 and 2023 by the Company’s principal accountant, and actively monitored the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided. The Audit Committee has concluded that the fees earned by the principal accountant were consistent with the maintenance of the principal accountant’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

 

The Company’s principal accountant did not provide, and the Audit Committee did not approve, any services that would have been described under “—Audit-Related Fees”, or “—Tax Fees” or “—All Other Fees” above for either of the last two fiscal years.

 

The Audit Committee annually considers the provision of audit services. The Audit Committee must pre-approve all services provided and fees earned by the Company’s principal accountant. The Audit Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to the particular service, that require that the Audit committee be informed of each service, and that do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the Exchange Act to management. The pre-approval policies and procedures provide only for defined audit services and, if any, specified audit-related fees, tax services, and other services, and may impose specific dollar value limits for the fees for pre-approved services. The Audit Committee also considers on a case-by-case basis specific engagements that are not otherwise pre-approved under the pre-approval policies and procedures or that materially exceed pre-approved fee amounts. On an interim basis, any proposed engagement that does not fit within the definition of a pre-approved service may be presented to a designated member of the Audit Committee for approval and to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.

 

The percentage of hours expended on the Company’s principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was not greater than 50%.
