CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events including, without limitation, our ability to raise capital, our operational and strategic initiatives or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:
● | Our ability to effectively execute our business plans including transitioning from being focused on end-to-end consumer product innovation, development, and commercialization to being focused on digital media, advertising and content technologies innovation, development, and commercialization; | |
● | Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses; | |
● | Our ability to protect our brands, reputation and intellectual property rights; | |
● | Our ability to obtain adequate financing to support our development plans; | |
● | Our ability to repay our debts; | |
● | Our ability to rely on third-party suppliers, content contributors, developers, and other business partners; | |
● | Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics; | |
● | Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; | |
● | Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior; | |
● | Our dependence on information technology, and being subject to potential cyberattacks, security problems, network disruptions, and other incidents; | |
● | Our ability to comply with complex and evolving laws and regulations including those relating to privacy, data use and data protection, content, competition, safety and consumer protection, e-commerce, digital assets and other matters, many of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation; | |
● | Our ability to enhance disclosure and financial reporting controls and procedures and remedy the existing weakness; | |
● | Risks in connection with completed or potential acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic growth opportunities and initiatives; | |
● | Taxes; | |
● | The stability of the governments and political and business conditions in certain foreign countries in which we or certain of our business partners may operate now or in the future; | |
● | Costs and results of potential litigation; | |
● | Changes in accounting standards or inaccurate estimates or assumptions in the application of accounting policies; | |
● | The use of social or digital media to disseminate false, misleading and/or unreliable or inaccurate information regarding our products, services or the industry in which we operate; | |
● | The potential that we do not realize some or all of the benefits expected to result from the spin-off, or the delay of such benefits; | |
● | Our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and subject to certain risks and consequences as a result of the spin-off transaction; | |
● | If the distribution of shares of Cryptyde, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company’s stockholders and the Company could be subject to significant tax liability; | |
● | If the spin-off transaction does not comply with state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements; or | |
● | Other risk factors discussed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2022. |
These and other factors discussed above could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by any independent parties and by us.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As
used herein, “Cryptyde” and the “Company” refer to Cryptyde, Inc. and subsidiaries and/or where applicable,
its management, a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State
of Nevada. On March 9, 2022, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion entered into with the
Former Parent. The Company sells mining equipment in the blockchain industry. Prior to the Separation (as defined below), the
Company was
As
of June 30, 2022, Cryptyde, Inc. had two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ferguson Containers, Inc. and BlockHiro, LLC (“BH”).
Ferguson Containers, Inc. owns
During 2021, the Former Parent announced it plans to spin-off (the “Separation”) certain of its businesses. The Former Parent has included Ferguson Containers as well as other subsidiaries of the Former Parent (the “Cryptyde Businesses”) as part of the spin-off. In anticipation of the Separation, the Former Parent contributed its assets and legal entities comprising the Cryptyde Businesses to facilitate the Separation. As a result of the Separation, the Company has become an independent, publicly traded company comprised of the Cryptyde Businesses on June 30, 2022.
On March 29, 2022, Ferguson Containers, Inc. ownership was assigned by the Former Parent to the Company. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Cryptyde, Inc.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Ferguson Containers, Inc. and Cryptyde, Inc. in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-264777), and updated as necessary in these Cryptyde, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of accounting policies included in Note 2. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed, or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the determination of the economic useful life of depreciable property and equipment. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash. The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash that the Company is contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its January 26, 2022 Secured Convertible Note. See Note 11 for further discussion.
Accounts
Receivable. Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for uncollectible amounts. Management
estimates the allowance for bad debts based on existing economic conditions, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers,
and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due
date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
The allowance for doubtful account was $

Inventories. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.
Property
and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing
at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets using undiscounted
cash flows. If an asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying
value and the asset’s fair value. The Company did
Contingent Liabilities. The Company, from time to time, may be involved in certain legal proceedings. Based upon consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters and the Company’s analysis of potential outcomes, if the Company determines that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, an estimate of the contingent liability is recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated loss can be determined, an amount within the range that, based on estimates, assumptions and judgments, reflects the most likely outcome, is recorded as a contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In situations where none of the estimates within the estimated range is a better estimate of probable loss than any other amount, the Company records the low end of the range. Any such accrual would be charged to expense in the appropriate period. Litigation expenses for these types of contingencies are recognized in the period in which the litigation services were provided.

Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon receipt by the customer. There are no contract assets or contract liabilities and therefore no unsatisfied performance obligations. One customer represented 59% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Disaggregation of Revenue. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of corrugated packaging materials and the sale of mining equipment. There are no other material operations that were separately disaggregated for segment purposes. The Company previously had income from rental operations which is included as part of other income in the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, depreciation and inspection costs.
Comprehensive income. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive loss, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Concentration of Credit Risks. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents, accounts receivable and revenues. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
Leases.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires
a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective
for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 as
of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the balance sheet. As of April 26, 2022, the date
the Company assumed the lease (Note 14), the operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability amounted to $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. As of June 30, 2022, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting. The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of corrugated packaging materials and therefore the Company only identifies one reportable operating segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
As explained above, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company,” “TYDE” and “the Company” refer to Cryptyde, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company’s financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to the Company’s plans and strategy for the Company’s business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties and should be read together with the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forwarding- Looking Statements” section of this Quarterly Report. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
Vinco has successfully completed a spin-off of its Packaging Business, Web3 Business, and Bitcoin Mining Services Business. To accomplish this spin-off, Vinco transferred those businesses to us, then Vinco distributed all of its equity interest in us, consisting of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, to Vinco’s stockholders on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”). Following the Separation, Vinco does not own any equity interest in us, and we operate independently from Vinco.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Vinco. Our financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as we were historically managed, in conformity with GAAP. Our financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Vinco corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to us.
All intercompany transactions between us and Vinco have been included in our financial statements and are considered to be settled in our consolidated financial statements at the time the Separation became effective. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in our unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets as “Due to/from Former Parent.”
The historical costs and expenses reflected in our financial statements for Ferguson Containers include an allocation for certain corporate shared service functions historically provided by Vinco including executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, procurement, information technology and other shared services. These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis based on sales, headcount, tangible assets or other measures considered to be a reasonable reflection of the historical utilization levels of these services.
Our management believes the assumptions underlying our Ferguson Containers financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general corporate expenses from Vinco are reasonable. Nevertheless, our financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented and may not reflect what our actual results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been if we had operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had operated as a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. Following the Separation, we now perform these functions using our own resources or purchased services.
Cryptyde is comprised of the Packaging Business, the Web3 Business, and the Bitcoin Mining Services Business. The Packaging Business includes Ferguson Containers and has been operating for over 50 years. The Bitcoin Mining Services Business is a joint venture through CW Machines, LLC and began operating in October 2021. The joint venture is accounted for as a variable interest entity and is fully consolidated with Cryptyde, Inc. The Web3 business expects to begin offering Web3 products in 2022.

The Packaging Business – Ferguson Containers
Ferguson Containers manufactures and sells custom packaging for a variety of products. In our experience, packaging has the capability to “tell” the products’ story, generating increased product awareness, promote brand image, and drive unit growth. Senior management has more than 100 years of combined experience marketing, producing and delivering packaging materials. A hallmark of our operation is our quick production cycle. We can often begin a production run within minutes of receipt of an order. Many of our products are manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled material. When production is complete, we typically ship the product using our own trucks rather than relying on a common carrier. Ferguson Containers does not have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead manufactures and sells its packaging products subject to purchase orders from its customers.
The Web3 Business – BlockHiro, LLC
BlockHiro, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company was formed on November 8, 2021, was formed to hold the Web3 Business. The Web3 Business plans to use decentralized blockchain technology in established consumer facing industries such as video games, music, and art. TYDE intends to finalize a digital coin minting platform in 2022. TYDE believes its digital coin minting platform will enable TYDE to, together with partners and clients, quickly and efficiently create digital coins for use with projects in established consumer facing industries.
Bitcoin Mining Services Business – CW Machines, LLC
CW Machines, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company formed on October 2, 2021, was formed to hold the Bitcoin Mining Services Business. The Bitcoin Mining Services Business, CW Machines, LLC, through a joint venture with Wattum Management Inc. and BBA Technology Inc., is focused on bringing Bitcoin mining to the consumer level by offering Bitcoin mining equipment and co-location services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s combined financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For information on the Company’s significant accounting policies please refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

THE SEPARATION
General
Prior to the Separation, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Vinco. As described in this section, “The Separation”, we have separated from Vinco and have become a separate company traded on the Nasdaq. The effective date of the Separation was June 29, 2022.
Vinco has distributed 100% of the shares of our common stock held by Vinco to holders of shares of Vinco common stock, subject to certain conditions. The distribution of our common stock took place on June 29, 2022 (the “Distribution Date”). On the Distribution Date, each holder of Vinco common stock received one share of Cryptyde common stock for every ten shares of Vinco common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date, as described below.
Reasons for the Separation
The Vinco board of directors believes that separating the Cryptyde Businesses from the remainder of Vinco is in the best interests of Vinco and its stockholders for a number of reasons, including:
● | Distinct Focus. Each company will benefit from a distinct strategic and management focus on its specific operational and growth priorities. Vinco is expected to continue operations of its media focused business; Vinco will operate the Cryptyde Businesses. Because each company will have smaller portfolio of businesses, management of each company is expected to better allocate time and resources to identifying and executing operational and growth strategies; |
● | Differentiated Investment Opportunities. Each company will offer differentiated and compelling investment opportunities based on its particular operating and financial model, allowing it to more closely align with its natural investor type. Cryptyde seeks to attract investors looking to invest in companies bringing Web3, and blockchain technology generally, into consumer facing industries, such as music and art, while also maintaining the stability that comes with an established business, such as the Packaging Business. Whereas Vinco will likely appeal to investors looking to invest in a global media business; |
● | Optimized Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Priorities. Each company will operate with a capital structure and capital deployment strategy tailored to its specific business model and growth strategies without having to compete with the other for investment capital. Cryptyde will monitor the performance and opportunities of the Cryptyde Businesses and allocate capital in a manner designed to grow Cryptyde. Vinco will continue allocating resources towards its media business; |
● | Direct Access to Capital Markets. Each company will have its own equity structure that will afford it direct access to the capital markets and allow it to capitalize on its unique growth opportunities appropriate to its business; |
● | Alignment of Incentives with Performance Objectives. Each company will be able to offer incentive compensation arrangements for employees that are more directly tied to the performance of its business and may enhance employee hiring and retention by, among other things, improving the alignment of management and employee incentives with performance and growth objectives. Cryptyde expects to incentivize management and employees with both cash and equity compensation upon attaining earnings, market capitalization, and user count goals. By tailoring management’s and employees’ incentive to the performance of the Cryptyde Businesses, rather than the businesses that remain with Vinco, Cryptyde hopes to advance the Cryptyde Businesses faster than should they remain with Vinco; and |
● | Incremental Stockholder Value. Each company will benefit from the investment community’s ability to value its businesses independently within the context of its particular industry with the anticipation that, over time, the aggregate market value of the companies will be higher, on a fully distributed basis and assuming the same market conditions, than if Vinco were to remain under its current configuration. |
26 |
Vinco’s board of directors also considered potentially negative factors in evaluating the Separation, including risks relating to the creation of a new public company, possible increased administrative costs and one-time separation costs, but concluded that the potential benefits of the Separation outweighed these factors. The anticipated benefits of the spin-off are based on a number of assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such benefits will materialize to the extent anticipated, or at all. In the event the Separation does not result in such benefits, the costs associated with the Separation could have an adverse effect on each company individually and in the aggregate. For more information, see the Section “Risk Factors.”
Share Issuance Ration
For every ten shares of Vinco common stock owned as of the close of business on the Record Date, each holder received one share of our common stock on the Distribution Date.
Treatment of Fractional Shares
Nevada Agency & Transfer Company, acting as the distribution agent (the “Distribution Agent”), did not distribute any fractional shares of our common stock to Vinco stockholders. As soon as practicable on or after the Distribution Date, the Distribution Agent, instead, aggregated fractional shares into whole shares, sold the whole shares in the open market at prevailing prices, and distributed the net cash proceeds from the sales, net of brokerage fees and commissions, transfer taxes, and other costs, and after making appropriate deductions of the amounts required to be withheld for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if any, pro rata to each stockholder that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Distribution. The Distribution Agent determined when, how, through which broker-dealers, and at what prices to sell the aggregated fractional shares. Recipients of cash in lieu of fractional shares were not entitled to any minimum sale price for the fractional shares or to any interest on the amounts of payments made in lieu of fractional shares.
Treatment of Outstanding Equity Compensation Awards
The following discussion describes the treatment of Vinco equity awards in connection with the Separation. The treatment described below became effective as of the Distribution Date.
Holders of Vinco awards whose post-Separation employer is Cryptyde received as a replacement of the Vinco awards, an identical award with respect to approximately 1/10 of a share of our common stock for each share of Vinco common stock underlying the Vinco award, such that the resulting Cryptyde award had an intrinsic value immediately following the consummation of the Distribution equal to the intrinsic value of the existing Vinco award immediately prior to the consummation of the Distribution, taking into account any necessary adjustments to the exercise price of the new awards, if applicable, to maintain such intrinsic value. To the extent the existing Vinco award was subject to vesting based upon continued service with Vinco, the new awards also remained subject to the same vesting conditions based upon continued employment with the holder’s post-Separation employer. In addition, to the extent the existing Vinco award was subject to the achievement of certain Vinco performance-based target goals, appropriate adjustments were made to such target goals and incorporated into the new awards to reflect equivalent TYDE performance-based target goals.
There are currently no unvested equity awards held by employees of Vinco that are remaining with Vinco after the Separation.
Fractional Interests
To the extent any adjustments made to outstanding Vinco awards resulted in fractional share interests, the fractional interests were rounded down to the nearest whole share, and we made a cash payment to our respective employees and/or directors in lieu of such fractional interests.
Results of the Separation
After the Separation, we are an independent, publicly traded company that directly or indirectly holds the assets and legal entities, subject to any related liabilities, associated with the Cryptyde Businesses previously conducted by Vinco.
27 |
Incurrence of Debt
In connection with the Separation, we incurred debt from the Note Private Placement. We may continue to incur further debt in the ordinary course of business.
Regulatory Approvals
We were required to complete the necessary registration under the federal securities laws of our common stock to be issued in connection with the Distribution. We were also required to complete the applicable listing requirements on Nasdaq for such shares. Other than these requirements, no other material governmental or regulatory filings or approvals were necessary to consummate the Distribution.
Agreements with Vinco
In connection with the Separation, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Vinco to effect the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with Vinco after the Separation. These agreements provide for the allocation between us and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, of the assets, liabilities, legal entities, and obligations associated with the Cryptyde Businesses, on the one hand, and the other current Vinco businesses, on the other hand, and govern the relationship between our company and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, subsequent to the Separation.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains many of the key provisions related to our Separation from Vinco and the Distribution of our shares of common stock to Vinco stockholders.
The forms of the principal agreements described below are included as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1 to this Quarterly Report. The following descriptions of these agreements are summaries of the material terms of these agreements.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
The Separation and Distribution Agreement governs the overall terms of the Separation. Generally, the Separation and Distribution Agreement includes Vinco’s and our agreements relating to the internal restructuring steps taken to complete the Separation, including the assets, legal entities, and rights transferred, liabilities assumed, and related matters.
Subject to the receipt of required governmental and other consents and approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, in order to accomplish the Separation, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides, as applicable, for Vinco and us to transfer specified assets between the companies that operate the Cryptyde Businesses, on the one hand, and Vinco’s other current businesses, on the other hand, after the Distribution Date. The determination of the assets transferred between the companies has been made by Vinco in its sole discretion. The Separation and Distribution Agreement requires Vinco and us to use reasonable efforts to obtain consents, approvals, and amendments required to assign the assets, legal entities, and liabilities that are transferred pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
Unless otherwise provided in the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any of the related ancillary agreements, all assets have been transferred on an “as is, where is” basis. Generally, if the transfer of any assets or any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder required a consent that was not obtained before the Distribution, or if the transfer or assignment of any such asset or such claim or right or benefit arising thereunder was ineffective or adversely affected the rights of the transferor thereunder so that the intended transferee did not in fact receive all such rights, the party retaining any asset that otherwise would have been transferred now holds such asset in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto and retains such liability for the account of the party by whom such liability is to be assumed, and has taken such other action as has been reasonably requested by the party to which such asset was to be transferred, or by whom such liability was to be assumed, as the case may be, in order to place such party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such asset or liability been transferred prior to the consummation of the Distribution.
In addition, Vinco was given the right to determine the date and terms of the Separation and was given the right, at any time until completion of the Distribution, to determine to abandon or modify the Distribution and to terminate the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement governs the treatment of indemnification, insurance, and litigation responsibility and management of the Cryptyde Businesses, on the one hand, and Vinco’s other current businesses, on the other hand, after the Distribution Date. Generally, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for uncapped cross-indemnities primarily designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Vinco’s other current businesses with Vinco, in either case after applicable insurance coverage (which generally are occurrence policies) intended to cover such obligations and liabilities and whether incurred prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date. We and Vinco have each agreed to indemnify the other for any liabilities caused by a material misstatement or omission in materials supplied by one of us to the other regarding the business, operations, financial results, stockholder communications, risks, management, management compensation levels, and stock ownership of the applicable company. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters.
28 |
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the Separation, we and Vinco entered into a Tax Matters Agreement that contains certain tax matters arrangements (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) and governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to taxes, including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of the failure of the Transfer and the Distribution to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Tax Matters Agreement also sets forth the respective obligations of the parties with respect to the filing of tax returns, the administration of tax contests, and assistance and cooperation on tax matters.
In general, the Tax Matters Agreement governs the rights and obligations that we and Vinco have after the Separation with respect to taxes for both pre- and post-closing periods. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, we generally are responsible for (i) any of our taxes for all periods prior to and after the Distribution and (ii) any taxes of Vinco for periods prior to the Distribution to the extent attributable to the Cryptyde Businesses. Vinco generally is responsible for any of the taxes of Vinco other than taxes for which we are responsible.
The Tax Matters Agreement further provides as follows:
● | We will generally indemnify Vinco against taxes arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are responsible under the Tax Matters Agreement; and | |
● | Vinco will indemnify us against any taxes of Vinco other than taxes for which we are responsible. |
In addition to the indemnification obligations described above, the indemnifying party generally is required to indemnify the indemnified party against any interest, penalties, additions to tax, losses, assessments, settlements, or judgments arising out of or incident to the event giving rise to the indemnification obligation, along with costs incurred in any related contest or proceeding.
The Tax Matters Agreement also generally prohibits us and our affiliates from taking certain actions that could cause the Transfer and the Distribution to fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment, including the following:
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date (or otherwise pursuant to a “plan” within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code), we may not cause or permit certain business combinations or transactions to occur; | |
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date, we may not discontinue the active conduct of our business (within the meaning of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code); | |
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date, we may not liquidate or merge, consolidate, or amalgamate with any other person; | |
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date, we may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than 30% of our consolidated gross assets; | |
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date, we may not purchase any of our common stock, other than pursuant to certain open market repurchases of less than 20% of our common stock (in the aggregate); | |
● | during the two-year period following the Distribution Date, we may not amend our Certificate of Incorporation (or other organizational documents) or take any other action affecting the voting rights of our common stock; and | |
● | more generally, we may not take any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the Transfer and the Distribution and to fail to qualify as tax-free transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
In the event that the Transfer and the Distribution fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment, in whole or in part, and Vinco is subject to tax as a result of such failure, the Tax Matters Agreement will determine whether Vinco must be indemnified for any such tax by us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Due to being a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to provide information under this Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that it is required to disclose in reports that the Company files with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act rules and regulations due to the reasons set forth below.
As of December 31, 2021, management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: the Company was unable to provide a timely financial reporting package in connection with the year end audit. This was primarily the result of the Company’s limited accounting personnel. This also limits the extent to which the Company can segregate incompatible duties and has a lack of controls in place to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected. There is a risk under the current circumstances that intentional or unintentional errors could occur and not be detected.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company added additional accounting personnel and began the implementation of a new accounting system. Management has concluded that the material weakness described above currently exists as of June 30, 2022. The Company plans to engage with outside consultants to strengthen its capabilities and help the Company in the design and assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting to further reduce and remediate existing control deficiencies during 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to its business. However, based upon available information and in consultation with legal counsel, management does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects and\or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business and common stock are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under “Risk Factors” in the Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2022. There have been no material changes to such risk factors.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Uses of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On January 26, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “January 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with Hudson Bay Master Fund, Ltd.

In connection with the January 2022 Purchase Agreement and for no additional consideration, we agreed to issue warrants exercisable into 533,333 shares of our common stock as a part of the compensation to Palladium Capital Group, LLC (“Palladium”) for serving as placement agent in connection with the January 2022 Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. These warrants were issued on May 5, 2022 in connection with the closing of the January 2022 Purchase Agreement and have a term of five years from the date of issuance.
31 |
On January 26, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Equity Private Placement”) with BHP Capital NY, Inc. for the issuance of (i) 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants (the “Equity Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $8.00 per share of common stock.
