NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (“ConnectM” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on July 19, 2016, under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On March 22, 2019, the Company re-domesticated under the laws of the state of Delaware. ConnectM is a clean energy technology and solutions provider for residential and light commercial buildings and all-electric original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), with a proprietary digital platform to accelerate the transition to solar and all-electric heating, cooling and transportation. The Company’s technology platform encompasses marketing to life cycle management, customer care to claims processing, finance to rebates/incentives. The Company’s architecture melds artificial intelligence with the humankind, and learns from the data it generates to become better at providing technology solutions to customers and quantifying customer lifetime value. In addition to digitizing electrification end-to-end, we also reimagined the underlying business model to minimize customer churn while maximizing trust and improving environmental impact.

 

The Company uses its proprietary full-stack technology platform and network of electro-mechanical assets: Intelligent Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) appliances, Electric Vehicle (“EV”) chargers, and solar products to provide its full suite of services to its customers. The Company is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts and has grown significantly through its acquisition-focused strategy. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ConnectM, its fully owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 located elsewhere in this proxy/prospectus. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $2,603,373 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and had an accumulated deficit of $25,466,061 as of March 31, 2024. The Company’s net cash used in operating activities was $1,230,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the working capital deficit totaled $15,721,766 as of March 31, 2024.

 

The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising capital through issuances of debt and equity securities, and extending existing debt agreements. A failure to raise sufficient financing and/or extend existing debt agreements, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives.

 

6 

 

 

Accordingly, based on the considerations discussed above, management has concluded there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Certain required disclosures relating to our significant accounting policies are disclosed below.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired.

 

The Company accounts for goodwill under ASC Topic 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, which does not permit amortization, but instead requires the Company to perform an annual impairment review, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be more likely. The Company evaluates the facts and circumstances as of the end of each reporting period to determine whether a triggering event exists that may indicate the fair value of the Company’s identified reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and thus if goodwill is impaired. If it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company tests goodwill for impairment, in which the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value (if any), not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has determined that no impairment has occurred.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing Net Loss Per Share (“EPS”) is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company has six classes of participating securities outstanding, common stock, Series Seed Convertible Preferred Shares, Series Seed-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Shares. The different series of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock has the same rights as the Company’s common stock, other than being convertible into shares of common stock on a 1-for-1 ratio and preferences. Under the two-class method, the Company’s issued and outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock is considered a separate class of stock for EPS purposes. During periods of loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method due to there being no distributed earnings for the period coupled with the fact that the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock do not contain a contractual right to absorb losses. Thus, all undistributed losses should be allocated entirely to the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

EPS is computed by dividing the sum of distributed and undistributed earnings for each class of stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each class of stock for each period presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Diluted net loss per share includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. Given the Company is in a net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share.

 

7 

 

 

The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for all the periods and scenarios presented because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect:

 

ConnectM Stock Options   142,692 
ConnectM Warrants   23,332 

 

Investment Recorded at Cost

 

The Company accounts for its investment in cost securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments — Cost Securities (“ASC 321”). Cost investments are comprised of investments in a private corporation, for which the fair value cannot be readily determinable nor does the investment qualify for the practical expedient to be valued at net asset value (NAV). As such, the Company has elected the measurement alternative afforded by ASC 321 to account for this investment at cost.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $45,000 of an investment carried at cost, which is included in Investment, cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment in cost securities are impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Company estimates the investment’s fair value, and if the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Through March 31, 2024, the Company has determined that no indicators of impairment were triggered through its qualitative analysis, which utilizes external factors such as the health of the United States Stock Market, as well as information provided to the Company by the Company’s cost method investee.

 

As such, no impairment losses were recognized for the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

Due from Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MCAC”)

 

The Company has recorded a note receivable relating to different advances made to MCAC throughout 2023 and 2024. The Company accounts for this note receivable in accordance with ASC 310 — Receivables. Upon execution of a successful business combination between the Company and MCAC, this receivable would be offset with any payable recorded by MCAC due to the Company. The Company has assessed this receivable for potential credit losses, noting none as of March 31, 2024. See Note 14: Due From Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation.

 

Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to disclose significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company reports operations in four reportable segments — Electrification, Decarbonization, OEM/EV and Managed Services representing our different products and services. These are our reportable segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Each of our business segments is managed by a group of executives who reports to our chief executive officer (who is our “chief operating decision maker” under applicable accounting standards).

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company reported operations in three reportable segments — Electrification, Decarbonization, OEM/EV and Managed Services representing our different products and services at that time.

 

Our Electrification business segment generally focuses on the HVAC needs of the Company’s customers. This includes the servicing, repairing, installation, or updating of a homeowner’s heating and air conditioning. Our OEM/EV business segment generally focuses on the utilization of developed products for the monitoring of energy utilization and energy resources. Our Decarbonization business segment, which was created in 2022 with the acquisitions of CSH and SES, generally focuses on providing solar-related roof installations, inspections, and repairs to solar energy system integration and maintenance programs. This segment also sells solar panels to its customers. This results in its customer’s overall reduction in energy costs with a focus on a reduction of a customer’s carbon footprint. Lastly, our Managed Services business segment was created with the entering into the Company’s Managed Service Arrangements, focuses on managing the day-to-day operations for third party businesses that compete in the solar and HVAC industry. This reportable segment did not exist during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating (loss) income from operations as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Segment operating (loss) income from operations is (loss) income before interest expense, other expense, other income, unallocated corporate costs, and income taxes. Certain corporate assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses and property, plant and equipment are not allocated to the segments. The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described above in the summary of significant accounting policies.

In February of 2022, the Company entered into secured promissory note agreements with two lenders for a total of $1.4 million. In connection with the issuance of the secured promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to each lender that may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company. The secured promissory notes mature in February of 2025. Interest is charged at an annual simple rate of 9.25%, which increases to 12% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, defined as the following. “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) the Company fails to pay any installment of principal or interest on any of its debt when due and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the due date; (ii) the Company breaches any material covenant or other term or condition of the secured promissory note agreements, which breach results in a material adverse effect to the lenders and such breach, if capable of cure, continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the Company shall have received written notice of such breach from any lender; (iii) any representation or warranty of the Company made in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant to the secured promissory note agreements or in connection therewith shall be shown to have been deliberately false or misleading and, if capable of cure, shall not be cured for a period of forty-five (45) days after the Company shall have received written notice of such false or misleading representation or warranty from any lender; (iv) the Company becomes bankrupt, commits any act of bankruptcy, becomes the subject of any proceedings or action, including actions of any regulatory agency or any court, relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or enters into any agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, which, in any case, shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; (v) any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its property or other assets (a) for more than $1,000,000, or (b) which grants injunctive relief that results, or creates a material risk of resulting in a material adverse effect upon the Company and, in either case, shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; (vi) the Company fails to make any payment when due.

 

The debt discount at issuance of these notes amounted to $82,861. Amortization expense related to the debt discount amounted to $6,905 for both of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included within “Interest expense” in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

However, no warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of these additional secured promissory notes. These Promissory Notes have maturity dates ranging from November of 2023 to December of 2024. For the notes with original maturity dates prior to the date these financial statements are issued, the Company reached agreements with the noteholders to extend the maturity date to the earlier of May 31, 2024 or the date of the transaction with MCAC. The notes accrue interest at a simple annual interest rate that ranges from 18% to 24.0%.

Convertible Notes

 

The Company issued $1,350,000 of convertible notes in September of 2022. On February 22, 2023, the convertible notes were amended to clarify how these Convertible Notes convert. The convertible notes include an automatic conversion upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing, defined below. These convertible notes convert at a quotient, the numerator of which is the entire principal of the convertible notes and any interest accrued and the denominator is the lesser of 80% of the price per share to be sold in a financing event, or $7.00 per share, adjusted for stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series. This modification did not change the future cash flows of the notes.

 

These convertible notes mature on the earlier of two years from the date of issuance (September 2024), or upon the consummation of a Qualified Financing. A Qualified Financing is defined as the next transaction or series of transactions after the issuance of the convertible notes in which the Company sells shares of its privately issued equity securities resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5 million, not including the convertible notes. Interest is charged at an annual (simple) rate of 5.0%; the rate increases to 8.0% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) the Company fails to pay any installment of principal or interest on any debt when due and such failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice thereof from the respective holder of such debt; (ii) the Company breaches any material covenant or other term or condition of the convertible notes, which breach results in a material adverse effect to the respective Company and such breach, if capable of cure, continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Company shall have received written notice of such breach from such lender; (iii) any material representation or warranty of the Company made in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant to the convertible notes agreement or in connection herewith shall be shown to have been deliberately false or misleading and, if capable of cure, shall not be cured for a period of thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Company shall have received written notice of such false or misleading representation or warranty from any lender; (iv) the Company becomes bankrupt, commits any act of bankruptcy, becomes the subject of any proceedings or action, including actions of any regulatory agency or any court, relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or enters into any agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, which, in any case, shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; (v) any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its property or other assets for more than $100,000, or which grants injunctive relief that results or is likely to result in a material adverse effect upon the Company and, in either case, shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; or (vi) the Company shall fail to make any payment when due (taking into effect any applicable grace or cure periods) of any other indebtedness, or fail to perform or observe the terms of any agreement or instrument related to any indebtedness and such failure shall cause the acceleration of such indebtedness. The Company is not required to make principal payments on these notes.

Pursuant to this agreement, the Company sold and assigned $1,597,144 of Future Receipts in exchange for net cash proceeds of $1,176,000, including a fee of $24,000. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $421,144. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party a minimum of $30,174 of weekly sales receipts until the Future Receipts have been collected. for the term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out. On November 2, 2023, the Company amended this agreement with Libertas to extend the weekly sales receipts period to one year from the amendment date, requiring weekly sales receipts of $17,700 until the remaining Future Receipts have been collected. Further in connection with this amendment, the Company incurred an incremental fee of $100,000. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt- Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”).

 

Similarly, to the transaction in April, on August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a sale of Future Receipts Agreement with Libertas to which it sold and assigned $1,290,000 of future receipts in exchange for net proceeds of $980,000, including a fee of $20,000. As a result the Company recorded a discount of $310,000. Under the agreement the Company agreed to pay the third party approximately $25,595 weekly until the Future Receipts have been collected. The term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out. On November 29, 2023, the Company amended this agreement with Libertas to borrow an incremental $370,543. Due to this refinancing, Libertas forgave a portion of this debt outstanding totaling $130,000 and the Company incurred an incremental fee of $221,000. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. As a result of the amendments noted above, as of December 31, 2023, all remaining discounts were written off. As a result of the amendments noted above, the Company wrote off all remaining debt discounts, yielding incremental interest expense of $662,400.

On January 4, 2024, like the transactions in April and August of 2023, the Company entered into a sale of Future Receipts Agreement with Libertas to which it sold and assigned $451,500 of future receipts in exchange for net proceeds of $350,000, including an origination fee of $7,000 and an original issuance discount of $101,500. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $108,500. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party approximately $8,958 weekly until the Future Receipts have been collected. The term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out.

 

On January 30, 2024, the Company amended each of its outstanding agreements with Libertas to consolidate the agreements into one without any change to the total Future Receipts committed. In connection with this amendment, the Company sold a total of $2,600,000 of Future Receipts in exchange for the remaining balances on each of the Company’s outstanding agreements with Libertas as of the date of the transaction, totaling $2,077,011 with an original issuance discount of $522,989. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. As a result of the amendment, as of March 31, 2024, all unamortized discounts were written off, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $591,864.

 

In connection with these instruments, the Company recorded discounts. These discounts are recorded as an adjustment to the related liability within the “Current portion of debt, net of discount” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As discussed above, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the discounts offered associated with these borrowings were zero.

 

In connection with the January 30, 2024 amendment, the Company erroneously received an incremental $1,057,275 from Libertas. Such amounts received were provided to the Company in error and are due and payable in full to Libertas. Libertas has agreed to loan the Company this amount and is currently negotiating repayment terms with the Company. This is shown as a Due to Libertas on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Since the Company has significant continuing involvement in the generation of future cash flows due under these agreements among other indicators, pursuant to ASC 470-10-25-2, Debt- Sales of Future Revenues or Other Various Measures of Income, the Company has reflected any future commitments to Libertas associated with these agreements as Debt.

 

The balance of the total sale on Future Receipts stated above as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $2,393,651 and $1,938,257, respectively, which is included in the current portion of debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

 

The Company considers new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, the Company continues to recognize a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the United States and India.

 

Our income tax benefit (including discrete items) was $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of the United States of 21% due to our valuation allowances in jurisdictions in the United States and India. The income tax benefits recognized relate to the partial release of the Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets due to the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities on intangible assets for which tax has no basis.

 

NOTE 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is from time to time subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business.

 

The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account its best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company’s estimate involve significant judgement, given the varying stages of proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings.

 

In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company’s experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter’s current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more or less than the current estimate.

 

20 

 

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there are no matters for which a reserve is required to be established.

 

On February 26, 2024, Robert Zrallack and RJZ Holdings LLC (the “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Aurai LLC, ConnectM Florida RE LLC, and Florida Solar Products, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, in the Circuit Court for the 19th Judicial Circuit (St. Lucie County, Florida). In this suit, the plaintiffs allege various contract claims arising out of a transaction under which Aurai acquired Florida Solar Products, Inc. from Mr. Zrallack in 2022 and ConnectM Florida RE LLC acquired certain real estate from RJZ Holdings LLC in 2022 from which Florida Solar Products operates. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege breach of the stock purchase agreement and certain promissory notes in connection with the purchase of Florida Solar Products, Inc. and the related real estate, as well as breach of a services agreement with Mr. Zrallack. The Company believes the Plaintiffs’ claims have no merit and plans to assert counterclaims against the Plaintiffs in connection with the underlying transactions. The Company is defending itself in this matter.

 

NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level I — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level II — Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level III — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company effectuates transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, as of the date of the actual circumstance that caused the transfer.

 

Debt

 

The Company evaluated whether any of the embedded features associated with the different Convertible Notes issued throughout 2022 required bifurcation as a separate component of equity. The Company elected the fair value option (FVO) under ASC Topic 825- Financial Instruments, as the different Convertible Notes are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the FVO, the Company recognized each of the Convertible notes as hybrid debt instruments at fair value, inclusive of the embedded feature with changes in fair value related to changes in the Company’s credit risk being recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other changes in fair value were recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The fair value of the different convertible notes issued throughout 2022 and 2023 are measured quarterly using unobservable inputs, the most significant of which was the discount rate, which was determined to be 15%. The change in fair value of the different convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was a loss of $123,408 and a gain of ($204,213), respectively, and was recorded within “Other income, net” within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

21 

 

 

The Company’s PPP Loan, SBA Loans, Seller Notes, Promissory notes, and Vehicle Loans are carried at historical cost. The fair value of the PPP Loan, SBA Loans, Seller Notes, Promissory notes, and Vehicle Loans are estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses using available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the Company used Level 2 inputs for these debt instrument fair value estimates.

 

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
   Carrying   Estimated   Carrying   Estimated 
   Amount   Fair Value   Amount   Fair Value 
Convertible Debt  $2,302,093   $2,302,093   $2,178,685   $2,178,685 

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, amounts included in other current assets, and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

NOTE 13 — MERGER AGREEMENT

 

On December 31, 2022, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MCAC”) and Chronos Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 28, 2022 and a wholly owned subsidiary of MCAC (“Merger Sub”).

The Merger Consideration is 14,500,000 shares of MCAC Common Stock, subject to an upward adjustment depending on the extent to which MCAC’s transaction expenses (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger) exceed $8,000,000.
