MCX TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2024

(unaudited & unreviewed)

 

 

 

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

MCX Technologies Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) intends to acquire or develop new technologies that would become the Company’s new operating platform which may include innovations directed toward the internet’s evolution into the Web 3.

 

We were incorporated in the State of California on December 14, 2001, as a customer experience (“CX”) management solutions company dedicated to helping organizations improve customer experiences, increase customer loyalty, reduce cost and increase revenue. 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. On June 11, 2015, our shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to McorpCX, Inc., and on June 29, 2020, in connection with the sale of McorpCX, LLC, as described below, our shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to MCX Technologies Corporation.

 

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 its wholly owned subsidiary McorpCX LLC, pursuant to which the Company transferred to McorpCX LLC all of 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 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 we 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. 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.  The note is secured by the Purchaser's ownership interest in McorpCX LLC. On June 11, 2021, the note was amended whereby the obligor would pay $100,000 principal payment on or before July 1, 2021 and the remaining principal and interest would be paid in installments of $20,000 per month due on the first day of each month.

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, The Collective Experience, LLC (the “Collective Experience” or “TCE”) as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was providing all of its digital transformation and marketing management consulting services, which was the Company’s sole revenue generating operations, through the Collective Experience. However, the operations of TCE were ceased in the first quarter of 2022.

 

We maintain our primary business address at 176 South Capital Blvd. Boise, Idaho 83702. Our telephone number is (208) 863-6243 and our internet website is www.mcxtechnologies.io.

Note 3: Revenues

 

Consulting Service Revenues

 

While the Company transitions to a new operating platform, it had no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. Previously in 2021 and 2022, our only source of revenue was derived from engagements managed within our wholly owned subsidiary, The Collective Experience LLC (“TCE”), that provided digital Transformation services including brand strategy, data science, pricing science, customer experience management consulting and implementation in support of these strategies. The consulting services were contracted under master terms and conditions with statements of work (“SOW”) defined for each project. A typical consulting SOW would span a period of 60-180 days and would usually be billed to the client based on certain milestones being achieved throughout the SOW. The Company recognized revenue based upon a percentage of completion of each SOW during each project. In addition, we typically incurred travel and other miscellaneous expenses during work on each SOW which was billed to our clients for reimbursement. The travel and miscellaneous expenses are recognized in revenue on a percentage of work complete basis. In addition, some clients would enter annual or long-term contracts that will have a monthly retainer for general consulting and project services. The revenue for these engagements is recognized on straight-line basis monthly during the term of the contract. As of April 1, 2022, MCX no longer has been signing new client engagements within TCE as we are not pursuing that segment in order to focus on new technology platforms.

 

Accrued Revenues

 

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable and accrued revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued revenue represents revenue on contracts that is recognized according to performance obligations being met and exceeds the amount that has been billed to the customer. Accrued revenue is separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 there was no accrued revenue reported.

 

Deferred Revenues (Contract Liabilities)

 

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received, including amounts which are refundable.

 

Payment terms vary by customer and the products or services offered. For certain products or services and customer types, full or a partial payment of the entire contract is required before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 respectively there was no revenue recognized related to any contract liabilities included in deferred revenue.

 

Contract Assets

 

Given the nature of the Company’s services and contracts, it has no contract assets.

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less and the commissions are only due and payable upon receipt of payment from the client. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any sales commissions.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

 

 

Note 4: 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.

 

8

 

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.

Note 5: 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, no revenue for the past 12 months 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.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is entirely dependent upon our ability 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 6: 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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, 2023. Such policies were unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not have the financial statements audited and for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, we have not engaged an accounting firm to review the financial statements; as such, the financial statements are the internal financial statements of the Company.

 

Overview

 

MCX Technologies Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) intends to acquire or develop a technologies that would become the Company’s new operating platform which may include innovations directed toward the internet’s evolution into the Web 3. On November 12, 2020, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, The Collective Experience, LLC (the “Collective Experience” or “TCE”) as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was providing all of its digital transformation and marketing management consulting services, which was the Company’s sole revenue generating operations, through the Collective Experience. During the first quarter of 2022 and the year 2021, through our subsidiary The Collective Experience LLC we generated revenue by delivering digital transformation solutions to customer centric organizations through integrated marketing, data science, and commerce. We have ceased operations under TCE and we are now transitioning the focus of the Company toward new technologies.

 

We were incorporated in the State of California on December 14, 2001, as a customer experience (“CX”) management solutions company dedicated to helping organizations improve customer experiences, increase customer loyalty, reduce cost and increase revenue. 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. On June 11, 2015, our shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to McorpCX, Inc., and on June 29, 2020, in connection with the sale of McorpCX, LLC, as described below, our shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to MCX Technologies Corporation.

 

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 its wholly owned subsidiary McorpCX LLC, pursuant to which the Company transferred to McorpCX LLC all of 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 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 we had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

 

10

 

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. 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.  The note is secured by the Purchaser's ownership interest in McorpCX LLC. On June 11, 2021, the note was amended whereby the obligor would pay $100,000 principal payment on or before July 1, 2021 and the remaining principal and interest would be paid in installments of $20,000 per month due on the first day of each month with the final payment being made in January 2024.

 

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.

 

During the first quarter of 2022 and the year 2021, through our subsidiary The Collective Experience LLC we generated revenue by delivering digital transformation solutions to customer centric organizations through integrated marketing, data science, and commerce. We have ceased operations under TCE and we are now transitioning the focus of the Company toward new technologies.

 

As of March 31, 2024, we continue to seek a new technology platform that will be the basis for further revenue and profitability.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Historically, cost of goods sold consisted primarily of expenses directly related to providing professional and consulting services. Those expenses formerly included 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.

Other general and administrative costs decreased by $80,647 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023 primarily due to a reclassification of contract services into general and administrative expenses and due to a lack of funding, the Company did not engage its auditors to perform an audit of its financial statements or quarterly review thereof in this first quarter of 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 43,525     $ 46,069  

Working capital

  $ (52,886 )   $ (42,698 )

 

Anticipated Uses of Cash

 

As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents had decreased to $43,525 from $46,069 and our working capital changed to ($52,886) from ($42,698) as of December 31, 2023.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we were able to finance our operations with cash on hand as well as proceeds of the final note payment 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.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our primary uses of cash included third party general and administrative expenses to support compliance expenses and pursuit of new business development activities.

 

We have had material operating losses, no revenue for the past 12-months, 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.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is entirely dependent upon our ability 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.

 

Cash Flow Three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $2,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $97,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due a decrease in net loss and the elimination of the year-end audit expenses for the year December 31, 2023 and the first quarter 2024 auditor review of the financial statements.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $16,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This included and cash received from notes receivable – related party of $16,126.

 

Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $16,201 which related to the repayment of an unsecured loan to the company from the Chief Financial Officer in the original principal amount of $20,000. There was no cash provided by, or used in, financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

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 Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim 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, 2023, 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.

 

13

 

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 shift away from the Collective Experience to focus on new technologies which may include Web 3 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, 2023 (the “2023 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 2023 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.
