Business Description and Going Concern

NOTE 1 - Business Description and Going Concern

Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (“Sigma”), the legal acquiror of NextTrip, was initially incorporated as Messidor Limited in Nevada on December 23, 1985, and changed its name to Framewaves Inc. in 2001. On September 27, 2010, the name was changed to Sigma Labs, Inc. On May 17, 2022, Sigma Labs, Inc. began doing business as Sigma Additive Solutions, and on August 9, 2022, changed its name to Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.

On March 11, 2024, Sigma filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on March 13, 2024, among other things, Sigma’s corporate name was changed from Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. to “NextTrip, Inc.”

The Company’s corporate office is located at 3900 Paseo del Sol, Santa Fe NM 87507. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, NextTrip Holdings Inc., incorporated on October 22, 2015, and Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc., incorporated on June 24, 2002.

Prior to the NextPlay Exchange Agreement, as described below, NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”), which in turn, was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (“NextPlay”). All of the business operations of NTG were conducted through its subsidiaries. On January 25, 2023, NextPlay and NTG entered into an Amended and Restated Separation Agreement, Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, and Exchange Agreement (the “NextPlay Exchange Agreement”, whereby NextPlay transferred their interest in the travel business to NTG. Pursuant to the NextPlay Exchange Agreement, NextPlay exchanged 1,000,000 Membership Units of NTG for 400,000 Preferred Units of NTG, with a value of $10 per unit. Prior to the exchange for Preferred Units, NTG had a payable due to NextPlay of $17,295,873, representing cash advances and payment of expenses by NextPlay on behalf of NTG, while NextPlay had obligations to provide ongoing support to NTH. Such liability was settled by the issuance of the Preferred Units and the waiver of all of NextPlay’s ongoing support obligations except for a $1.5 million advance remaining under a promissory note and, as such, NTH recorded the payable as contributed capital.

The Company provides travel technology solutions with sales originating in the United States, with a primary emphasis on hotels, air, and all-inclusive travel packages. Our proprietary booking engine, branded as NextTrip 2.0, provides travel distributors access to a sizeable inventory.

The Company owns 50% of Next Innovation LLC, a Joint Venture (“Next Innovation”), which is dormant. No activities nor operations occurred through Next Innovation in fiscal years 2024 or 2025 and the Company does not have control of Next Innovation and therefore no minority interest was recorded.

Reverse Acquisition

On October 12, 2023, the Company (then known as Sigma) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NTH, NTG, and William Kerby (the “NextTrip Representative”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that NTG would sell and transfer to the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of NTH in exchange for 156,007 restricted shares of Company common stock (the “Closing Shares”), issuable at closing, and the right to receive up to an additional 5,843,993 restricted shares of Company common stock upon satisfaction of certain milestones set forth in the Exchange Agreement (the “Contingent Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Restricted Shares”), which Restricted Shares are issuable to the members of NTG, on a pro rata basis, under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, subject to certain closing conditions (the “NextTrip Acquisition”). Upon the closing of the NextTrip Acquisition on December 29, 2023, NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, will not exceed 6,000,000 shares of Company common stock, or approximately 90.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the closing. The NextTrip Acquisition will likely result in a change of control, with the members of NTG receiving an aggregate number of shares that exceeds the number of shares that held by the legacy shareholders of Sigma. As a result, the NextTrip Acquisition is accounted for as a reverse acquisition of NTH by the Company, whereby the Company is treated as the legal acquirer and NTH is treated as the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial information for the periods prior to closing of the NextTrip Acquisition presented is that of NTH.

In accordance with ASC 805-40-45-1, the consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (NextTrip, Inc., f/k/a Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.) but described in the notes to the financial statements as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (NTH), with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent. Comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements also is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the legal parent.

Under ASC 805-40-45-2, the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the legal subsidiary except for the capital structure, as follows:

	(a)	The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts;
	(b)	The assets and liabilities of the legal parent recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance in this topic applicable to business combinations (ASC 805);
	(c)	The retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary before the business combination;
	(d)	The amount required to be recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805 applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure reflects the equity structure of the legal parent, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to affect the combination. Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent issued in the reverse acquisition.

The assets and liabilities of Sigma were recognized at fair value under ASC 805 as described in NOTE 8 – Goodwill.

Going Concern

As of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $34,349,823 and $24,151,139, respectively, and working capital deficit of $105,577 and $262,005, respectively, and has incurred losses since incorporation. The Company will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings to support its on-going operations, increase market penetration of its products, expand the marketing and development of its travel and technology driven products, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, and systems for managing the business including covering other operating costs until the planned revenue streams are fully implemented and begin to offset the Company’s operating costs. In the event the Company is unable to raise adequate funding in the future for its operations and to pay its outstanding debt obligations, the Company may be forced to scale back its business plan and/or liquidate some or all of its assets or may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

In light of the foregoing, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report.
