PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) by the August 29, 2024 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Company in completing its financial statements in the Annual Report. As a result, the Company is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Annual Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2024 to be included in the Annual Report. The Company anticipates that it will file the Annual Report no later than the 15th calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

  Yes ☒ No ☐
   
(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

 

  Yes ☐ No ☒
   
  If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company expects to report a net loss of approximately $6.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, compared to net income of $8.2 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023, primarily as a result of loss from operations of approximately $4.3 million during fiscal 2024, compared to income from operations of $10.5 million for fiscal 2023, and non-recurring expenses in the amount of $11.1 million during fiscal 2024, offset by an income tax benefit of approximately $8.7 million for fiscal 2024 compared to income tax expense of $1.4 million during fiscal 2023.

 

Approximately $9.6 million of such non-recurring expenses was SPAC merger termination cost resulting from the March 1, 2024 termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Edify Acquisition Corp. (“Edify”), Edify Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company, dated as of December 18, 2022, pursuant to which the Company was to be merged with and into Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edify. Part of the SPAC merger termination cost consists of the cost of warrants that the Company has agreed to issue to the lenders party to its related financing agreement. Though these warrants have not yet been issued, the Company estimated their fair market value at $6.5 million and recorded such expense as a long-term liability on its consolidated balance sheet. Also included in the SPAC merger termination cost is a $3.0 million fee that the Company agreed to pay certain of its lenders to waive certain events of default, which was deemed fully earned on the effective date of the termination of the merger agreement.

 

As a result of the termination of the merger agreement, the Company also recognized an impairment charge of previously deferred offering costs in the amount of $3.1 million.

 

The above non-recurring losses were partially offset by a $5.9 million reduction from a previously recorded derivative liability arising from an anti-dilution provision in the Company’s convertible preferred stock Series A, C and D.

 

The foregoing financial information is unaudited and preliminary and is subject to change based upon the Company’s completion of the year end audit.
