NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flow. However, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on SEC Form 10-K, filed on April 15, 2025. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of its annual and interim reports. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TLSS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TLSSA, TLSS Ops, Shyp FX, Shyp CX, TLSS-CE, Cougar Express through its deconsolidation on February 27, 2024, JFK Cartage since its acquisition on July 31, 2022, TLSS-STI, and Severance since its acquisition on January 31, 2023. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References below to a “Company liability” may be to a liability which is owed solely by a subsidiary and not by TLSS.

Discontinued Operations

The Company has classified the related assets and liabilities associated with its logistics and transportation services business as discontinued operations in its consolidated balance sheets and the results of its logistics and transportation services business has been presented as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented as the discontinuation of its business had a major effect on its operations and financial results. Unless otherwise noted, discussion in the notes to consolidated financial statements refers to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 8 — Discontinued Operations for additional information.

Deconsolidation of subsidiaries

The Company accounts for a gain or loss on deconsolidation of subsidiaries or derecognition of a group of assets in accordance with ASC 810-10-40-5. The Company measures the gain or loss as the difference between (a) the aggregate of fair value of any consideration received, the fair value of any retained noncontrolling investment and the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interest in the former subsidiary at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated and (b) the carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s assets and liabilities or the carrying amount of the group of assets.

Going concern

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $498,270 and $2,064,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net cash used in operations was $182,055 and $78,634 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit of $147,043,296 and $12,467,277, respectively, on March 31, 2025. Furthermore, as of February 2024, the Company ceased operation of all its logistics and transportation services business and currently has no operating business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report. The Company is evaluating a possible restructuring of its existing debts and obligations, as well as assessing the possibility of replacing its discontinued businesses and/or enter into new line(s) of business, whether by acquisition or otherwise. However, there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, be able to replace its former business and/or enter into new line(s) of business, or to do so profitably. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of preferred shares, from the issuance of promissory notes and convertible promissory notes, and from the exercise of warrants, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to further curtail its operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. On March 31, 2025, the Company had no cash in the bank in excess of FDIC insured levels.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the valuation of accounts receivable, the valuation of right of use assets and related liabilities, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, and the value of claims against the Company.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on March 31, 2025. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, assets of discontinued operations, accounts payable, accrued expenses, liabilities of discontinued operations, and other payables approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s promissory note obligations approximate fair value, as the terms of these instruments are consistent with terms available in the market for instruments with similar risks.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. On March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable was presented net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances along with general reserves for current accounts receivable that are projected to become uncollectable. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 1 one to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Revenue equipment acquired through acquisitions is generally revalued to current market values as of the acquisition date. Assets obtained more than a year prior to the acquisition by the acquired company are depreciated on a straight-line basis aligned with the remaining period of expected use, whereas those obtained less than a year prior are depreciated consistent with newly purchased assets. In addition to purchasing new revenue equipment, the Company may rebuild the engines of its tractors. Because rebuilding an engine increases its useful life, the Company capitalizes these costs and depreciates the cost over the remaining useful life of the unit. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Leases

The Company uses Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The Company applied the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether it obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Operating lease ROU assets represented the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments was amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In connection with the discontinuation of the Company’s logistic and transportation business, all ROU assets were either impaired or deconsolidated and any such impairment is included in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Currently, all leased premises have been abandoned (see Note 8).

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Segment reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires entities to report incremental information about significant segment expenses included in a segment’s profit or loss measure as well as the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The new standard also requires interim disclosures related to reportable segment profit or loss and assets that had previously only been disclosed annually. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective December 31, 2024, on a retrospective basis.

Operating segments are defined as components of a business for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates as a single operating and reporting segment, reflecting our sole focus of seeking new business opportunities. Our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), responsible for assessing the Company’s performance and making resource allocation decisions. The CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis, focusing on key metrics such as general and administrative expenses, and other income/expenses. The CODM allocates resources based on the Company’s available cash resources, forecasted cash flow, and expenditures on a consolidated basis, as well as an assessment of the probability of success of its business activities. Resource allocation decisions are informed by budgeted and forecasted expense information, along with actual expenses incurred to date. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. Disaggregated profit or loss information at the program or functional level is not regularly provided to or relied upon by the CODM, as our integrated operating model emphasizes shared resources and centralized decision-making.

Revenue recognition and cost of revenue

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASC is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer service orders, including significant judgments.

The Company recognized revenues and the related direct costs of such revenue which generally include compensation and related benefits, gas costs, insurance, parking and tolls, truck rental fees, and maintenance fees, as of the date the freight is delivered which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognized revenue on a gross basis. Our payment terms were generally net 30 days from acceptance of delivery. The Company did not incur incremental costs obtaining service orders from its customers, however, if the Company did, because all the Company’s customer contracts were less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred were expensed rather than capitalized. The revenue that the Company recognized arose from deliveries of freight on behalf of the Company’s customers. Primarily, the Company’s performance obligations under these service orders corresponded to each delivery of freight that the Company made under the service agreements. Control of the freight transfers to the recipient upon delivery. Once this occurred, the Company satisfied its performance obligation, and the Company recognized revenue.

The Company’s revenues were primarily derived from the transportation services it provided through the delivery of goods over the duration of a shipment. The bill of lading is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties, and where collectability was probable this document serves as the contract as its basis to recognized revenue under ASC 606- Revenue Recognition. The Company elected to expense initial direct costs as incurred because the average shipment cycle is less than five days. The Company recognized revenue and substantially all the purchased transportation expenses on a gross basis. Direct costs of such revenue generally included compensation and related benefits, gas costs, insurance, parking and tolls, truck rental fees, and maintenance fees. The Company directed the use of the transportation service provided and remained responsible for the complete and proper shipment. The Company recognized revenue for its performance obligations under its customer contracts over time, as its customers receive the benefits of the services in accordance with ASC 606- Revenue Recognition.

Revenue generated from warehousing services was generally recognized as the service is performed, based upon a monthly or weekly rate.

Inherent within the Company’s revenue recognition practices were estimates for revenue associated with shipments in transit. For shipments in transit, the Company recorded revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and recognizes delivery costs as incurred. The percentage of service completed for each shipment was based on how far along in the shipment cycle each shipment was in relation to standard transit days. The estimated portion of revenue for all shipments in transit was accumulated at period end and recognized as revenue within discontinued operations. The significance of in-transit shipments to the consolidated financial statements was limited due to the short duration, generally less than five days, of the average shipment cycle.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, all revenues and cost of revenues are included in discontinued operations.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

Basic and diluted loss per share

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and shares issuable for Series E, G and H preferred shares (using the as-if converted method). These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses in that period and consisted of the following:

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that we believe will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
