NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(unaudited)

 

 

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

MCX Technologies Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) intends to acquire or develop technologies that would become the Company’s new operating platform. During the first quarter of 2022, through our subsidiary, The Collective Experience LLC (the “Collective Experience”), we generated revenue by delivering digital transformation solutions to customer centric organizations through integrated marketing, data science, and commerce. We are now transitioning the focus of the Company toward new technologies. The Company operated as The Innes Group, Inc., d/b/a MCorp Consulting until filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation renaming the Company Touchpoint Metrics, Inc., effective October 18, 2011. During Q1 2015, the Company filed a d/b/a (doing business as) with the State of California Secretary of State to begin doing business as McorpCX. On June 11, 2015, at our Annual General Meeting, shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to McorpCX, Inc. On June 29, 2020, at our Annual General Meeting, in connection with the sale of McorpCX, LLC, shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to MCX Technologies Corporation. On November 12, 2020, the Company formed the Collective Experience in Delaware. As of April 1, 2022 MCX no longer has been signing new client engagements within the Collective Experience as we are not pursuing that segment in order to focus on Web 3 technologies and powering the Metaverse.

 

The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 31, 2023.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company adopted Topic 326 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company's operations or that no material effect is expected on the Company's financial statements upon future adoption.

Note 3: Stock-Based Compensation

 

Our stock-based compensation plan was originally established in 2008. The shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of such plan (the “Plan Shares”) could not exceed 30% of any outstanding issue or 2,500,000 shares, whichever was the lower amount.

 

In December 2015, we adopted a revised share option plan in which Plan Shares cannot exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares at any given time. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant and all option grants have a 10-year term. This share option plan was initially approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on August 10, 2016 and is required to be re-approved at each subsequent annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders since that date, in accordance with applicable TSX-V rules.

 

To calculate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used is based on a blended historical volatility of our own stock and similar sized companies due to the limited historical data available for our own stock price. The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

There were no options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

 

Note 4: Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

We have had material operating losses and have not yet created positive cash flows for a full fiscal year. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

On August 3, 2020, the Company completed the sale of all of the membership interests in McorpCX, LLC, from which it received proceeds of $1,108,000, consisting of $352,000 in cash and a $756,000 promissory note, reflected on the Company’s financial statements as a “note receivable – related party”. Pursuant to the note receivable, the Company has received $20,000 monthly payments of principal and interest from the purchaser of McorpCX, LLC, which we have relied on to fund our operating costs. As of September 30, 2023, the balance on the note receivable, which matures on December 31, 2023, is $76,527. The $20,000 monthly payments to the Company under the note receivable will end on December 31, 2023.

 

On January 23, 2023 the Company borrowed $20,000 from Gregg Budoi, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and entered into an unsecured Promissory Note that bears interest at the rate of 7%. The accrued interest and outstanding principal balance was due in one lump sum on September 20, 2023. During the quarter ending September 30, 2023, a $5,000 payment was made on the Promissory Note and accrued interest, and the due date was extended to December 31, 2023.

 

After payment on October 31, 2023 of the remaining $15,851 due under the unsecured Promissory Note, plus accrued interest, held by our Interim Chief Financial Officer, and without the $20,000 in monthly income from the note receivable which ceases on December 31, 2023, the Company believes it does not have sufficient capital to cover our operating costs for the next 12 months, and is seeking ways to raise capital to support operating costs for that period. Therefore, our ability to continue as a going concern is entirely dependent upon our ability over the next 12 months to achieve a level of profitability, and/or to raise additional capital through debt financing and/or through sales of common stock. We cannot provide any assurance that profits from operations, if any, will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our working capital needs and service our existing obligations, nor that sufficient capital can be raised through debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Note 5: Basic and Diluted Net Income / (Loss) per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the assumed exercise of share options is anti-dilutive and are excluded from the determination of net income (loss) per share – basic and diluted. The share options were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss or the Company’s common stock average market price was less than the share options exercise price. Accordingly, net income/(loss) per share basic and diluted are equal in all periods presented. Securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive were options to purchase common stock of 290,000 and 690,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

 

Note 6: Related Party Transaction

 

On January 23, 2023 the Company borrowed $20,000 from the Interim Chief Financial Officer and entered into an unsecured Promissory Note that bears interest at the rate of 7%. The accrued interest and outstanding principal balance was due in one lump sum on September 20, 2023. During the quarter ending September 30, 2023, a $5,000 payment was made on the Promissory Note and accrued interest, and the due date was extended to December 31, 2023.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe,” “expect,” “plan”, “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project,” “will,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “should” and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from our predictions. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” are to MCX Technologies Corporation and our subsidiaries.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, income taxes, stock-based compensation, research and development costs and impairment of long-lived assets have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such policies were unchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Overview

 

We intend to acquire or develop technologies that would become the Company’s new operating platform.

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company formed a subsidiary, The Collective Experience, LLC in Delaware (the “Collective Experience”). During the first quarter of 2022, through the Collective Experience, we generated revenue by delivering digital transformation solutions to customer centric organizations through integrated marketing, data science, and commerce. We are now transitioning the focus of the Company toward new technologies.

 

The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, McorpCX, LLC (“McorpCX LLC”) as a limited liability company in the state of Delaware on December 14, 2017. On August 16, 2018, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with McorpCX LLC pursuant to which the Company transferred to McorpCX LLC all the Company’s assets and liabilities related to the Company’s customer experience consulting business, excluding the underlying technology and databases related thereto which remained with the Company.

 

Effective August 3, 2020, the Company sold all of its membership interests in McorpCX, LLC to mfifty, LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by Michael Hinshaw, the then current President of McorpCX LLC (the “Purchaser”). Since the Company’s professional and related consulting services business, which constituted substantially all of the Company’s operations at the time of the sale of McorpCX LLC, was conducted through McorpCX LLC, the sale of McorpCX LLC represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

 

As consideration for the sale of McorpCX LLC, the Company received a total of $352,000 in cash consisting of $100,000 received upon the signing of the purchase agreement and $252,000 received at the closing of the transaction along with a $756,000 promissory note, reflected on the Company's financial statements as “note receivable – related party”. The promissory note has an initial annual interest rate of 0.99% (to be recalculated at the end of each twelve-month period subsequent to the date of the note based on the annual Applicable Federal Rate for mid-term loans on the first business day following each such twelve-month period) accruing daily on the outstanding balance of the note, and monthly principal payments are payable to the Company over a term of four or more years. Monthly principal payments to the Company were initially $7,292 per month for the first twelve months following the date of the note, and then during each subsequent twelve-month period are based on the annual revenues of McorpCX, LLC. On June 11, 2021, the Company and the Purchaser entered into an amendment to the promissory note whereby the Purchaser agreed to pay the Company One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) on or before July 1, 2021 to be applied towards the outstanding principal amount of the promissory note and then going forward to pay the remaining principal amount in installments of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) each due on the first day of each month commencing on August 1, 2021 until the principal amount is paid in full, with the final payment being the remaining unpaid outstanding balance due at that time. The scheduled maturity date of the note, as amended, is December 31, 2023. The amendment to the promissory note also provides that the promissory note will be considered paid in full if any of the following occurs: (i) the Purchaser pays at least 90% of the outstanding balance due (principal and interest) under the promissory note by December 31, 2021; (ii) the Purchaser pays at least 95% of the outstanding balance due under the promissory note by September 30, 2022; and (iii) the Purchaser pays at least 97.5% of the outstanding balance due (principal and interest) under the promissory note by December 31, 2022. The Company has received a total of $739,378 as of the date of this report. The note is secured by the Purchaser's ownership interest in McorpCX LLC.

Sources of Revenue

 

Prior to the sale of McorpCX, LLC in August 2020, our revenue consisted primarily of fees from professional and consulting services and other revenue primarily related to the reimbursement of expenses mostly through the operations of McorpCX LLC. Product revenue was from productized and software-enabled service sales not elsewhere classified.

 

As of April 1, 2022, MCX no longer has been signing new client engagements within the Collective Experience as we are not pursuing that segment in order to focus on a new technology platform which may include Web 3 technologies and powering the Metaverse. As of September 30, 2023, we do not have a revenue source and continue to seek a new technology platform that will be the basis for further revenue and profitability.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold consist primarily of expenses directly related to providing professional and consulting services. Those expenses include contract labor, third-party services, and materials and travel expenses related to providing professional services to our clients.

 

General and Administrative Expenses 

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of finance and accounting, software subscriptions, insurance, stock compensation expense, client delivery, and sales and marketing. These expenses also include contract services, as well as marketing and promotion costs, professional fees, software license fee expenses, administrative costs, insurance, rent and a portion of travel expenses and other overhead, which are categorized as “other general and administrative expenses” in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, the other general and administrative expenses include the professional fees, filing, and registration costs necessary to meet the requirements associated with having to file reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as having our stock listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets in the United States.

We received total consideration of $1,108,000 consisting of $352,000 in cash and a $756,000 promissory note for the sale of McorpCX, LLC, which was completed on August 3, 2020, which applied to transaction costs as well as investment toward becoming a technology solutions business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we were able to finance our operations with cash generated through cash on hand as well as $20,000 monthly payments we receive under the note receivable related to the sale of McorpCX, LLC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The note receivable matures on December 31, 2023 and the $20,000 monthly payments to the Company will cease after that date. The Company is exploring ways to minimize its cash outflow to allow for the remaining payments of the notes receivable plus its current cash on hand to fund operations for the next 12 months. However, without this monthly income, the Company projects that all available cash will go to payment of operating expenses and that it does not have sufficient capital to cover operating costs for the next 12 months. We are seeking ways to raise capital to support operating costs for that period. Our ability to continue as a going concern is entirely dependent upon our ability during the next 12 months to achieve a level of profitability, and/or to raise additional capital through debt financing and/or through sales of common stock. We cannot provide any assurance that profits from operations, if any, will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our working capital needs and service our existing obligations, nor that sufficient capital can be raised through debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our primary uses of cash included third party contractors to support our consulting services, and general and administrative expenses to support new business development activities.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We intend to continue to seek ways to continue as a going concern and expand upon our business and as such, in the future we may make acquisitions of businesses or assets or commitments to additional capital projects. To achieve the long-term goals of expanding our assets and earnings, including through acquisitions, capital resources will be required. Depending on the size of a transaction, the capital resources that may be required can be substantial. The necessary resources may be generated from cash flow from operations, cash on hand, the proceeds of the sale of McorpCX, LLC, borrowing or the issuance of securities, and there is no assurance these capital resources will be available to us when required.

 

Cash Flow Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $179,280 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $311,364 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due a decrease in net loss and a decrease in cash used for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by a decrease in cash from accounts receivable.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $176,211 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This included cash received from notes receivable – related party of $176,211. There was cash provided by investing activities of $262,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to cash received from related party notes receivable of $175,708 and cash received from the sale of land for $86,530.

 

Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $15,851 which includes cash received from an unsecured loan to the company from the Interim Chief Financial Officer in the amount of $20,000, offset by payments to the principal portion of the note of $4,149. There was no cash provided by, or used in, financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and as such, are not required to provide the associated information under this item.

 

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedure

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, and as reported in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We are not involved in any legal actions or claims and to our knowledge no such actions or claims are pending.

 

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report (including risks associated with our liquidity and our shift away from the Collective Experience to focus on new technologies), you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. 

 

It is important to note that the risks described in our 2022 Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may eventually prove to materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
