ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Overview

 

Nixxy, Inc. (“Nixxy”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a Nevada corporation engaged in the wholesale telecommunications business. The Company has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Recruiter.com, Inc.; Nixxy, LLC (formerly known as Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions LLC); Auralink AI, Inc. (“Auralink”); Recruiter.com Consulting, LLC and VocaWorks, Inc. (“VocaWorks”).

 

Over the past year, the Company executed a strategic transformation from a recruitment and staffing services business into a wholesale telecommunications services business. As of December 31, 2025, the Company divested or spun out substantially all legacy recruiting operations and is primarily engaged in wholesale voice, messaging, and routing and billing solutions.

 

The Company's common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NIXX.”

 

Principles of Consolidation and 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nixxy Inc. and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On December 30, 2025, the Company completed the separation of its legacy recruiting marketplace business line and assets, through a spin-off. The Company plans to issue shareholders of record on a future date a number of shares of the separated entity common stock for every one share of Nixxy, Inc. common stock on the distribution date.

 

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the results of the separated entity are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of Nixxy, Inc. unless otherwise noted. See Note 6, Discontinued Operations, for additional information.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Included in these estimates are assumptions used to estimate collection of accounts receivable, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of assets acquired in asset acquisitions and the estimated useful life of assets acquired, fair value of securities issued in asset acquisitions, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, valuation of stock-based compensation expense, and estimates related to the allocation of expenses, assets, and liabilities to CognoGroup. Critical accounting estimates are the fair value of intangible assets, goodwill, stock options and warrants.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had $759 thousand and $0 in excess of the FDIC limit, respectively. The Company has no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps:

 

·Identification of the contract with a customer
·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
·Determination of the transaction price
·Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations
·Recognition of revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

 

Telecommunications Services (Continuing Operations)

 

The Company generates revenue primarily through its Auralink AI subsidiary, which operates a cloud-based telecommunications platform providing:

 

·Wholesale voice termination
·SMS routing and delivery
·Carrier interconnect services
·Real-time billing and settlement services

 

These services are provided under bilateral carrier agreements that establish pricing based on contractual rate schedules (“Rate Decks”), typically on a per-minute or per-message basis.

 

Performance Obligations

 

Each successfully terminated voice call or delivered SMS message represents a distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the telecommunications service is completed — specifically, when a voice call is successfully terminated or a message is delivered and confirmed by the recipient carrier’s network.

 

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

 

The Company evaluates whether it controls the telecommunications services before they are transferred to customers. The Company acts as principal in these transactions because it:

 

·Controls routing infrastructure
·Establishes pricing
·Is responsible for service delivery
·Assumes performance and credit risk
·Manages carrier relationships

 

Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Although settlements with counterparties may occur on a net basis for operational efficiency, revenue and cost of revenue are recorded on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Contracts and Payment Terms

 

Telecommunications agreements typically have one-year terms with early termination provisions. Payment terms are generally 30 to 60 days. Revenue is measured based on reconciled call detail records and traffic reports.

 

Revenue Disaggregation

 

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-5, the Company disaggregates revenue by revenue stream and reporting period to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables present revenues disaggregated by revenue stream for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

      
   Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in thousands)  2026  2025
Telecommunication services  $29,094   $1,262 
Total revenue  $29,094   $1,262 

 

Revenue from international sources is determined based on the customer’s location, regardless of where the services are performed or products are delivered. Revenue from international sources was approximately 100% and 99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists almost entirely of Auralink related technology and supply costs.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The allowance is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the receivables. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses of $838 thousand and $835 thousand as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Credit loss was $3 thousand and $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively from continuing operations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over an asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. The estimated useful lives of major asset classes range from 3 to 15 years. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 was $0 and $4 thousand, respectively and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Vendors

 

As of March 31, 2026, three customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, at 65% in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2025, three customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, at 60%.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, four customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, at 52% in the aggregate. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, two customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, at 100% in the aggregate.

 

The Company uses a related party firm located overseas for software development and maintenance related to the Company's website and the platform underlying operations.

 

The Company was a party to a license agreement with a related party firm (see Note 11).

 

The Company used a related party firm to provide certain employer of record services (see Note 11).

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing costs were $0 and $549 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a hierarchical framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which the Company has access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company’s investment in available for sale securities and warrant derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. The securities are measured based on current trading prices using Level 1 fair value inputs. The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using Level 3 fair value inputs. In fair valuing these instruments, the income valuation approach is applied, and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected revenues and cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable represent fair value based upon their short-term nature.

 

A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The tables below summarize the fair values of financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets primarily consist of software platforms, licenses, customer-related assets, internal-use software, domains, and other intellectual property acquired through asset acquisitions and licensing arrangements.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from three to ten years. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. (See Note 5).

 

Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable (See Note 5).

 

When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company’s reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then proceeds to the quantitative impairment testing methodology using an appropriate valuation method.

 

Under the quantitative method the Company compares the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined using an appropriate valuation method. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

 

When required, the Company may arrive at estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology, which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities, and has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The unrealized gain (loss) on the marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, has been included in a separate line item on the statement of operations, Gain on change in fair value of Marketable Securities.

 

Software Costs

 

The Company accounts for internal-use software costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, and capitalizes certain software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalization ceases after the software is operational; however, certain upgrades and enhancements may be capitalized if they add functionality. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software project and (iii) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use software.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period of the stock-based compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees, directors, and non-employees. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based compensation at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates, accounted for as they occur. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with various accounting standards.

 

ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” provides that instruments convertible predominantly at a fixed rate resulting in a fixed monetary amount due upon conversion with a variable quantity of shares (“stock settled debt”) be recorded as a liability at the fixed monetary amount.

 

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

 

ASC 815-40 provides that generally if an event is not within the entity’s control and could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to 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 after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment will be based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company 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.

 

Product Development

 

Product development costs are included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and consist of support, maintenance and upgrades of the website and IT platform and are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (or loss) per share. Basic earnings (or loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (or loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (or loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (or loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents in amounts of 305,307 and 356,147 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

Business Segments

 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification, using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis.

 

The Company currently operates in one reportable segment pertaining to telecommunications. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO"). The Company's CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company's operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

 

Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) reflect the portion of income or loss and the corresponding equity attributable to third-party equity holders in certain consolidated subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented as separate components of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to clearly distinguish between the Company’s interests and the economic interests of third parties in those entities. Net loss attributable to the Company, as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, is presented net of the portion of net loss attributable to holders of non-controlling interests.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments primarily relate to expanded disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective as of January 1, 2025, and allows either a prospective or retrospective application. The Company adopted the revised guidance effective January 1, 2025 and implemented the related disclosure requirements on a retrospective basis in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption only impacted disclosures and had no impacts to the Company's consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, or balance sheets.

 

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.
