Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis with those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization.

Information about key assumptions and estimation uncertainty that has a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities within the next financial year are referenced in the notes to the financial statements as follows:

	●	The assessment of the Company to continue as a going concern;
	●	The assessment of the allowance on the related party promissory note receivable;
	●	Estimates of purchase price allocation;
	●	The measurement and useful life of intangible assets and property and equipment
	●	Estimates of fair value of equity instruments;
	●	Recoverability of long lived assets

Loss Per Share – The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying the Company’s outstanding warrants, options, preferred stock or note conversion features were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the Company had the following common shares underlying these instruments:

	2025		2024
	Year Ended February 28 and 29,
	2025		2024
Warrants		3,015,885		486,165
Stock Options		76,342		85,300
Preferred Stock		3,109,663		475,835
Total Underlying Common Shares		6,201,890		1,047,300

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts denominated in USD. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of February 28, 2025, or February 29, 2024.

Prepaids

The Company records cash paid in advance for goods and/or services to be received in the future as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are expensed over time according to the terms of the purchase. Other current assets are recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. It is then charged to expense over the expected number of periods during which economic benefits will be realized.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in its existing accounts receivable.

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

Trade accounts receivable balances as of February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, were $22,567 and $34,092, respectively.

Investments in Equity Method Investees

The Company holds investments in certain entities that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as well as investments that are accounted for under the fair value method pursuant to ASC 321, “Investments - Equity Securities.” Under the equity method, investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the investees’ earnings or losses and other comprehensive income.

The Company determines the existence of significant influence based on various factors, including representation on the investees’ board of directors, participation in policy-making processes, and material intercompany transactions.

The Company’s equity method investments are evaluated periodically for impairment by assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. When such indicators exist, the Company performs an impairment test and recognizes an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value.

Distributions received from equity method investees that exceed cumulative earnings recognized by the Company are considered a return of investment and are recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

Adjustments resulting from changes in the Company’s ownership interest in equity method investees that do not result in a loss of significant influence are accounted for prospectively.

Basis Difference

In accordance with ASC 323, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” the Company records a basis difference when the carrying value of its equity method investment differs from its share of the investee’s fair value of net assets at the acquisition date. This basis difference is allocated to the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The amortization of any basis difference related to depreciable assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, is recognized in the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses. Any basis difference related to non-depreciable assets, including goodwill, is generally not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing as necessary.

The Company assesses the impact of any basis differences on its earnings and the carrying value of its equity method investments. If a basis difference is determined to exist, the appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the amortization of such differences in the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Value

In accordance with ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company holds certain investments in equity securities in which the Company does not have significant influence or control, and for which fair value is not readily determinable. These investments are primarily accounted for at cost, less any impairment. The carrying amount is periodically evaluated for impairment, and if necessary, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations. These investments are not adjusted for unrealized gains or losses unless an impairment is identified.

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investees

The Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investees is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within “Equity in share of loss of equity method investees,” net of any related income taxes.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of equity method investments is disclosed when available and practical to determine. However, for investments that are not readily marketable, such as non-public entities, fair value is not typically recognized in the financial statements unless the investment is impaired.

Promissory Note Receivable

Receivables from NextPlay under the promissory note as described in NOTE 1 – Business Description and Going Concern were $0 and $1,000,000 at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note (the “NextPlay Note”) between NTH and NextPlay, the NextPlay Note was due and payable in full on the earlier of September 1, 2023 or the date the Company completed a financing of $10 million or more. No payments have been made by NextPlay, and as such NextPlay is in default under the terms of the NextPlay Note.

On January 27, 2025, as creditors of NextPlay, Donald P. Monaco, the Company’s Chairman, William Kerby, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Ian Sharpe, the Chief Operating Officer of the Company’s Media division, filed a petition to force NextPlay into involuntary bankruptcy as a result of unpaid fees. The proceedings are ongoing and the outcome at this time is uncertain and cannot be predicted. As a result, management has determined that the collectability of the NextPlay Note is uncertain and has therefore established an allowance for doubtful accounts for the entire balance of $2,567,665. Of this amount, $1,000,000 was recorded as of February 28, 2025, and $1,567,665 was recorded as of February 29, 2024.

Property and Equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different estimated useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items within property and equipment. The costs of the ongoing regular repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment in a manner that most closely reflects management’s estimated future consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

Category	Method	Estimated useful life
Furniture & Fixtures	Straight line	5 years
Computer & Equipment	Straight line	3 years

Intangible assets

The Company measures separately acquired intangible assets at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The Company recognizes internally developed intangible assets when it has determined that the completion of such is technically feasible, and the Company has sufficient resources to complete the development. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized when they increase the future economic benefits of the associated asset. All other expenditures are recorded in profit or loss as incurred.

The Company assesses whether the life of intangible asset is finite or indefinite. The Company reviews the amortization method and period of use of its intangible assets at least annually. Changes in the expected useful life or period of consumption of future economic benefits associated with the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization method or period as a change in accounting estimates in profit or loss. The Company has assessed the useful life of its trademarks as indefinite.

The estimated useful lives for the Company’s finite life intangible assets are as follows:

Category	Method	Estimated useful life
Software	Straight line	1 - 3 years
Software licenses	Straight line	0.5 - 4 years

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results.

2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and

3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives.

Leases

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (Topic ASC 842) Leases, which requires a lessee to recognize a lease asset and a leases liability for operating leases arrangements greater than twelve (12) months.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings (loss) or financial position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

●

Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

	●	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

	●	Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires it to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes and notes payable are of approximately fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

Stock Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under ASC Topic No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements may include stock options, grants of shares of common stock with and without restrictions, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at its fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option or stock grants.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC Topic No. 718. In general, the measurement date is either (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the non-employee performance requirement is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, we determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel and the date of cancellation has expired, as satisfaction of the performance obligation, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company are recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).

The Company generates revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world.

The Company controls the specified travel product before it is transferred to the customer and is therefore a principal, based on but not limited to, the following:

	●	The Company is primarily responsible for fulling the promise to provide such travel product.
	●	The Company has inventory risk before the specified travel product has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to a customer.
	●	The Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified travel product.

Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).

Sales and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing and promotional expenses, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Sales and marketing expense for the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024 was $307,166 and $484,250, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

The Company had no tax positions at February 28, 2025 or 2024 for which the ultimate deductibility was highly uncertain but for which there was uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. All tax returns for years starting with 2021 and thereafter remain open for examination by the IRS.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The FASB Issued this ASU to amend and align various SEC paragraphs within the Codification with interpretive guidance recently issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Specifically, this update codifies the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 120, which clarifies the application of ASC 718 – Compensation—Stock Compensation to certain share-based payment arrangements. SAB No. 120 was issued in response to concerns about so-called “spring-loaded” awards — share-based compensation arrangements granted shortly before the release of material nonpublic information (MNPI) that is expected to significantly affect the market price of the issuer’s stock. SAB No. 120 does not change the fundamental measurement principles of ASC 718, but it emphasizes the requirement to include the impact of MNPI in estimating fair value at the grant date when it is reasonable to expect that such information would be factored into the pricing by a market participant. Under ASC 718, entities must measure the grant-date fair value of equity-classified awards using an option-pricing model and inputs that reflect assumptions a market participant would make. SAB No. 120 reinforces that this includes: (i) adjusting expected volatility or stock price to reflect the anticipated impact of MNPI; (ii) documenting the rationale for assumptions that do not reflect such information, if applicable; and (3) ensuring internal control processes capture relevant information in determining grant-date fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2023-03 effective January 1, 2024. In conjunction with this adoption, the Company reviewed its stock compensation grant practices and valuation procedures under ASC 718. While the Company has not historically granted awards in close proximity to the release of MNPI, it has updated its internal controls to require additional documentation and review for any future awards that may be subject to this scenario. The adoption of ASU 2023-03 did not result in any changes to the recognition or measurement of share-based payment expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company enhanced its internal controls around the timing and valuation of equity awards to ensure compliance with the interpretive guidance of SAB No. 120 and ASC 718.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address investor feedback for greater transparency. The amendments are intended to enhance the usefulness of segment information, particularly regarding expenses, by requiring more detailed disclosures and expanding the scope of interim disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for its fiscal year beginning March 1, 2024 (i.e., for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2025), as required. The amendments require entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis: (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”); (ii) an explanation of how reported segment profit or loss is measured, (ii) The title and position of the CODM; (iii) a description of how the CODM uses reported measures in decision-making; and (iv) expanded disclosures of segment information in interim periods, consistent with annual disclosures.

We manage the Company as one reportable segment, Travel Products and Services. Travel bookings are the source of our revenues and include the sale of travel products such as airline tickets and hotel rooms as well as travel services such as travel insurance and ground activities. The segment information aligns with how the Company’s CODM reviews and manages our business. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Financial information and annual operating plans and forecasts are prepared and are reviewed by the CODM at a consolidated level. The CODM assesses performance for the Travel Products and Services segment and decides how to allocate resources based on revenue and net income that is reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the financial results. The accounting policies of our Travel Products and Services segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies herein.

For our single reportable segment-level financial information, total assets, and significant non-cash transactions, see the Financial Statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax information provided to investors. The amendments focus primarily on expanding the disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Key provisions of the update include: (i) enhanced disclosure of the effective tax rate reconciliation, using both standardized categories and quantitative disclosure of individual reconciling items that meet specified thresholds; (ii) required disaggregation of income taxes paid, by federal, state, and significant foreign jurisdictions; (iii) additional qualitative disclosures about tax-related assumptions and estimation methodologies. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. As a result, the Company will adopt the standard for its fiscal year beginning March 1, 2025 (ending February 28, 2026). Early adoption is permitted; however, the Company does not intend to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its income tax footnote disclosures. The adoption is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but it will result in expanded and more detailed income tax disclosures beginning in fiscal 2026.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
