PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Our company was established in 2021, initially composed of three businesses - the Web3 business, the BTC Mining Hardware Business and the Packaging Business, which we acquired from our former parent company, Vinco Ventures, Inc. These businesses had a more extended operating history than ours, and we include information related to their operations before our existence and acquisition in our discussions.

 

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC (“Forever 8”), an e-commerce fintech company that provides funding solutions for e-commerce businesses. The Company’s business has since been focused primarily on the Packaging Business and the business of Forever 8.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located in Easton, Pennsylvania, and our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OCTO.”

 

Forever 8

 

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8, an e-commerce fintech company. Forever 8 provides funding solutions for e-commerce businesses which sell on Amazon, Shopify and other leading online platforms. Forever 8 uses proprietary technology to review product sales data and determine funding potential for online retail entrepreneurs around the world. Forever 8’s process is automated and does not require a personal guarantee, credit check or traditional lending requirements. Forever 8’s unique approach directly purchases inventory on its customers’ behalf, applies a mark-up and collects the revenue as the products are sold. The Company assumes the role of supplier and acts as a principal in these transactions, and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis. At the time of entering into an agreement with the customer, Forever 8 takes title and assumes control of the inventory when it is purchased from its customers or directly from suppliers. This includes the responsibility for managing the inventory. Forever 8 has full discretion over the pricing of the inventory sold to its customers, established at the time of signing the agreement. Forever 8 also retains the right to liquidate inventory, exercising pricing discretion, particularly if certain sales thresholds are not met, which could result in selling below cost. Forever 8 is not entitled to incremental fees from vendor customers for unsold inventory but its pricing model includes variable pricing based on aged inventory. The primary source of revenue is from the sale of inventory to its customers at a markup. Under the terms of the agreement, Forever 8 does not have an option to put or sell unsold inventory back to vendor customers.

 

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Forever 8 had revenue of $67,568,353 and $23,785,070, respectively.

 

Packaging Business

 

The Packaging Business, through Ferguson Containers, manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products. In our experience, packaging has the capability to “tell” the products story, generating increased product awareness, promote brand image, and drive unit growth. Senior management has more than 100 years of combined experience marketing, producing and delivering packaging materials. A hallmark of our operation is our quick production cycle. We can often begin a production run within minutes of receipt of an order. Many of our products are manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled material. When production is complete, we typically ship the product using our own trucks rather than relying on a common carrier. Ferguson Containers does not have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead manufactures and sells its packaging products subject to purchase orders from its customers.

 

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Packaging Business had revenue of $7,729,131 and $8,035,709, respectively.

 

Web3 Business

 

BlockHiro, LLC was formed in November 2021 to do business as a Web3 company. We had planned to launch a character driven virtual ecosystem, Freescape, comprised of themed interactive environments in 2022. Due to the current entertainment and gaming NFT market, we have decided to halt work on the Freescape project.

 

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s Web3 business did not recognize any revenue. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s Web3 business incurred losses of $1,759 and $842,197, respectively.

 

 

BTC Mining Hardware Business

 

CW Machines, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company formed on October 2, 2021, was formed to hold the BTC Mining Hardware Business. The BTC Mining Hardware Business, CW Machines, LLC, through a joint venture with Wattum Management Inc. and BBA Technology Inc., is focused on bringing Bitcoin mining to the consumer level by offering Bitcoin mining equipment and co-location services. Eightco holds a 51% interest in CW Machines, LLC.

 

CW Machines, LLC is a reseller of Bitcoin mining equipment and services. The equipment sales primarily focus on Bitcoin mining equipment including Antminer S19s, Antminer S19 Pros, Whatsminer, and Canaan. Our Bitcoin mining services include reselling co-location services, which offer a physical location and ancillary services allowing Bitcoin miners to mine for Bitcoin. These services are provided by third-parties.

 

The BTC Mining Hardware Business does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company is not anticipating any future BTC mining equipment sales.

 

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, CW Machines, LLC had revenues of $0 and $9,590,100, respectively, and a net loss of $50 and $382,957, respectively. The net loss was due to consulting fees incurred related to the business.

 

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s incurred other BTC Mining business expenses of $964,111 and $2,115,026, respectively. The costs included rent, utilities, security guard expenses and impairments.

 

Business Strategy

 

Eightco Holdings Inc. is committed to driving revenue growth through its existing subsidiaries, Forever 8 and Ferguson Containers. The Company intends to expand Forever 8’s market reach through strategic expansion while continuing to focus on revenue growth. Forever 8 generates revenue through the purchase and sale of products while the Packaging Business earns revenue from the sale of goods and related services.

 

The Company plans to continually assess its businesses to allocate resources efficiently and maximize growth opportunities. With a diverse range of industries and revenue sources, management believes they are well-positioned to navigate changing economic conditions and customer preferences.

 

Eightco Holdings Inc. plans to expand through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. While strategic acquisitions may be considered for the Packaging Business and Forever 8 Business, management believes that organic growth is the key to success through continued sales efforts.

 

The company is dedicated to maintaining a close partnership with customers, which will enable them to effectively focus their efforts and respond to changing demands. Management believes that by listening to customers and adapting to their needs and preferences, they can remain relevant in constantly evolving industries.

 

 

Competition

 

We operate and plan to operate in a competitive market and encounter competition from both domestic and foreign participants. We believe we can effectively compete with our present competitors. We compete, and plan to compete, primarily based upon innovation, performance, price, quality, reliability, durability, consumer brand awareness, and customer service and support. Our competitors include a large number of private companies that directly compete with a number of our brands. Certain of our competitors may have more established brand names and stronger distribution channels than we do and have, or have through their owners, access to financial and marketing resources that are greater than we possess that may afford them the ability to invest more than we can in product development, intellectual property and marketing.

 

Competitors to our Packaging Business include Sutherland Packaging, based in Andover, New Jersey, Acme Corrugated Box Company, based in Hatboro Pennsylvania, and Trenton Corrugated Products, Inc., based in Ewing, Pennsylvania. Competitors to our Inventory Solutions Business include Clearco and Payoneer. Competitors for our BTC Mining Hardware Business include Compass Mining, Miners Dep, and Alliance Miners. Our competitors in the Web3 business will depend on what Web3 products we develop or acquire.

 

Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights

 

We recognize the importance of innovation and protecting our intellectual property. We will apply for patents whenever we develop innovative new products, unique designs, or processes of commercial importance and seek trademark protection when we believe they provide a marketing advantage. We do not believe that our business is materially dependent on any single patent or trademark.

 

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, trademarks, trade dress, customer records, monitoring, brand protection services, confidentiality agreements, and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property.

 

We intend to vigorously pursue and challenge infringements of our patents, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and copyrights, as we believe the goodwill associated with them is a cornerstone of our branding strategy.

 

Information Systems

 

Our information systems use software enterprise resource platforms, including procurement, inventory management, receivables management, and accounting. We utilize QuickBooks Enterprise and Xero Accounting as our ERP systems.

 

Seasonality

 

Our business is not seasonal and there are not large fluctuations with our operations between quarterly revenues based on the time of year.

 

 

Government Regulations

 

Packaging and Inventory Solutions Businesses

 

Like other manufacturers and distributors of consumer products, we are required to comply with a wide variety of federal, state, and international laws, rules, and regulations, including those related to consumer products and consumer protection, advertising and marketing, labor and employment, data protection and privacy, intellectual property, workplace health and safety, the environment, the import and export of products, and tax matters. Our failure to comply with applicable federal, state, and international laws, rules, and regulations may result in our being subject to claims, lawsuits, fines, and adverse publicity that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. These laws, rules, and regulations currently impose significant compliance requirements on our business, and more restrictive laws rules and regulations may be adopted in the future.

 

Web3 Business and BTC Mining Hardware Business

 

The laws and regulations applicable to digital assets, including those we intend to produce under our Web3 Business and the Bitcoins mined by our BTC Mining Hardware Business customers, are evolving and subject to interpretation and change. Governments around the world have reacted differently to digital assets; certain governments have deemed them illegal, and others have allowed their use and trade without restriction, while in some jurisdictions, such as in the U.S., digital assets are subject to extensive, and in some cases overlapping, unclear and evolving regulatory requirements. As digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies, including FinCEN, the CFTC, the SEC, FINRA, the CFPB, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial regulators, have been examining the operations of digital assets networks, digital assets users and digital assets exchange markets. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the nature of digital assets markets and our digital assets operations. Additionally, U.S. state and federal and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken responsive action against digital assets businesses or enacted restrictive regimes in response to hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from digital assets activity. There is also increasing attention being paid by U.S. federal, state, and local energy regulatory authorities as the total electricity consumption of cryptocurrency-mining grows and potentially alters the supply and dispatch functionality of the wholesale grid and retail distribution systems. Many State legislative bodies are also actively reviewing the impact of cryptocurrency-mining in their respective states.

 

Due to the relatively short history of Bitcoin and digital assets, and their emergence as a new asset class, government regulation of blockchain and digital assets is constantly evolving, with increased interest expressed by U.S. and international regulators.

 

Government regulation of blockchains and digital assets is under active consideration by the United States federal government via its agencies and regulatory bodies, as well as by similar entities in other countries and transnational organizations. State and local regulations also may impact our activities and other activities in which we may participate in the future. Other governmental regulatory bodies have shown an interest in regulating or investigating companies engaged in blockchain or digital asset businesses.

 

The effect of any regulatory change, either by the federal, state, local or foreign governments or any self-regulatory agencies on us is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we are unaware of significant adverse governmental or regulatory action adverse to Bitcoin mining in the United States, there is no guarantee that future regulation or adverse action will not take place and interpretation of existing regulations in a manner adverse to our business is possible.

 

In addition, various foreign jurisdictions either have adopted, or may adopt, laws, regulations or directives that affect digital assets, digital asset networks, and their users and participants. Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with those of the United States, may negatively impact the acceptance of digital assets by users, merchants, and service providers outside of the United States, and may therefore impede the growth of digital assets. Several Eastern European and Asian countries have a more restrictive posture toward digital assets and, thereby, have reduced the rate of expansion of digital asset use, as well as mining, in each of those countries. Presently, we do not believe any U.S. federal or state regulatory body has taken any action or position adverse to Bitcoin, with respect to its production, sale, and use as a medium of exchange; however, future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability.

 

 

We are unable to predict the effect that any future regulatory change, or any overlapping or unclear regulations, may have on us, but such change, overlap or lack of clarity could be substantial and make it difficult for us to operate our business or materially impact the market for digital assets that we mine or may mine in the future. FinCEN has issued guidance stating its position that it does not differentiate between fiat currency (which FinCEN calls “real currency”) and digital assets that are convertible into fiat currency or other forms of convertible virtual currencies (which FinCEN calls “virtual currency”) for purposes of determining whether a person or entity is engaging in “money transmission services”. Persons and entities engaging in virtual currency activities that amount to “money transmission services,” or otherwise cause them to be deemed a “money services business” under FinCEN’s regulations, must register with FinCEN as a money services business, implement an “effective” anti-money laundering program and comply with FinCEN’s reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

 

In May 2019, FinCEN issued guidance relating to how the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and its implementing regulations relating to money services businesses apply to certain businesses that transact in convertible virtual currencies. Although the guidance generally indicates that certain mining and mining pool operations will not be treated as money transmission services, the guidance also addresses when certain activities, including certain services offered in connection with operating mining pools such as hosting convertible virtual currency wallets on behalf of pool members or purchasers of computer mining power, may be subject to regulation. Although we believe that our activities under the Web3 Business and the BTC Mining Hardware Business do not presently trigger FinCEN registration requirements under the BSA, if our activities cause us to be deemed a “money transmitter,” “money services business” or equivalent designation, under federal law, we may be required to cease certain of our operations. Ceasing such operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

For additional information about government regulation applicable to our business, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Human Capital Resources

 

As of June 5, 2024, the companies that comprise Eightco had 22 employees that perform various administrative, finance and accounting, technology, and corporate management functions. Of the 22 employees, 15 employees were employed by Ferguson Containers and 7 were employed by Forever 8. None of our employees are represented by a union in collective bargaining with us. We consider relations with our employees to be good.

 

We are committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive space for all our employees, customers and retail partners. The core values of our Company include integrity, caring and inclusivity that affirms every individual. Our leadership team is committed to fostering an environment where everyone is welcomed, respected, listened to and valued for their unique contributions to the organization, and to providing a work environment that is free from all forms of harassment, discrimination and inequality. We recruit, employ, train, promote and compensate our employees without regard to race, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity, religion, national origin, citizenship, marital status, veteran’s status or disability. All facilities have established human resource departments with formal hiring processes and controls in place to ensure ethical and fair hiring practices. We compensate employees competitively relative to the industry and local labor market, and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local wage, work hour, overtime and benefit laws.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

During the normal course of its business, the Company may be subject to occasional legal proceedings and claims. There are currently no legal proceedings or claims asserted against the Company or its subsidiaries.

 

Supply Chain and Production

 

Our Packaging Business does not have long-term contractual arrangements with any of our suppliers that guarantee us production capacity, prices, lead times, or delivery schedules. Our reliance on independent party suppliers exposes us to vulnerability because of our dependence on a few sources of supply. We believe, however, that other sources of supply are available. In addition, we continually strive to develop relationships with other sources of supply in order to reduce our dependence on any one source of supply. As a result, we believe that our current and other available suppliers will ensure that we obtain a sufficient supply of goods built to our specifications in a timely manner and on satisfactory economic terms. The main raw material used by our Packaging Business is corrugated cardboard. Our main suppliers of corrugated cardboard are Corrugated Supplies Company, Georgia Pacific, and Freedom Corrugated. We also purchased certain finished products from Delta Packaging for resale to end users.

 

Our Inventory Solutions Business purchases finished products from its suppliers and does not have long-term contractual arrangements that guarantee production capacity, prices, lead times, or delivery schedules. Our reliance on independent party suppliers exposes us to vulnerability because of our dependence on a few sources of supply. We believe, however, that other sources of supply are available. In addition, we continually strive to develop relationships with other sources of supply in order to reduce our dependence on any one source of supply. As a result, we believe that our current and other available suppliers will ensure that we obtain a sufficient supply of goods built to our specifications in a timely manner and on satisfactory economic terms.

 

Our BTC Mining Hardware Business is reliant on third-party suppliers. We are a reseller and require the availability of the products we purchase, at wholesale, then distribute to final customers. We do not have long-term contractual arrangements with any of our suppliers that guarantee us adequate supply of Bitcoin mining equipment to satisfy the needs of our BTC Mining Hardware Business. Our main suppliers of Bitcoin mining equipment sold under the BTC Mining Hardware Business is Wattum Management, Inc.

 

Backlog

 

We currently do not have a material backlog of orders through our Packaging Business. A backlog consists of orders for which purchase orders have been received and which are generally scheduled for shipment within six months or subject to capacity constraints, including lack of available products. We allow orders received that have not yet shipped to be cancelled; therefore, our backlog may not be indicative of future sales.

 

 

Segment Information

 

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of corrugated packaging materials and therefore the Company only identifies one reportable operating segment.

Overview

 

As used herein, “Eightco” and the “Company” refer to Eightco Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries and/or where applicable, its management, a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada. On March 9, 2022, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion entered into with the Former Parent. On April 3, 2023, the Company changed its name to Eightco Holdings Inc. from Cryptyde, Inc. and its stock symbol to “OCTO.” The Company is comprised of two main businesses, Forever 8 Inventory Cash Flow Solution and our Packaging Business. Our Inventory Cash Flow Solution Business, Forever 8 Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company is focused on purchasing inventory and becoming the supplier for e-commerce retailers, which we acquired on October 1, 2022 (“Forever 8”). We no longer intend to generate revenue from our Web 3 Business. Our Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and through packaging helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image.

 

On June 29, 2022, the Company separated from its former parent company, Vinco Ventures Inc. (“Vinco”). As previously announced, we concluded a spin-off from Vinco (the “Separation”) and continue operating our BTC Mining Hardware Business and our Packaging Business. The Separation occurred concurrently with the distribution (the “Distribution”) of our common stock to stockholders of Vinco as of May 18, 2022 (the “Record Date”) at a ratio of one share of our common stock for every ten shares of Vinco common stock held by the Vinco stockholders. Following the Separation, we are an independent, publicly traded company, and Vinco retains no ownership interest in our Company.

 

In connection with the Separation, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Vinco to effect the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with Vinco after the Separation. These agreements provide for the allocation between us and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, of the assets, liabilities, legal entities, and obligations associated with the Eightco Businesses, on the one hand, and Vinco’s other current businesses, on the other hand, and govern the relationship between our Company and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, following the Separation. In addition to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the other principal agreements entered into with Vinco include a Tax Matters Agreement and certain commercial agreements.

 

Name Change, Symbol Change and Recapitalization

 

On March 15, 2023, a Special Meeting of Security Holders was held to vote upon the proposal to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Board but prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by the Company’s stockholders, a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-50, with such ratio to be determined by the Board in its discretion and included in a public announcement (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”). The proposal was approved by Security Holders.

 

On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware (1) to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (2) to change the name of the Company from “Cryptyde, Inc.” to “Eightco Holdings Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Both the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were effective as of 4:05 p.m., New York time, on April 3, 2023. The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 4, 2023.

The Warrant was issued upon closing and is immediately exercisable and, in the aggregate, entitles the Investor to timely purchase up to 889,512 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant has an initial exercise price of $6.245 per share payable in cash, or while each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not registered for resale with the SEC or such prospectus is not available for resale, by way of a “cashless exercise” or an “alternative cashless exercise,” at the option of the Investor. An “alternative cashless exercise” will provide the investor with 0.7 shares of Common Stock for each share that would have been issuable to the Investor upon such exercise had the Holder elected to pay the exercise price in cash. The Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of its date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrant is subject to adjustment for a Stock Combination Event. If on the on the fifth trading day immediately following a Stock Combination Event, the exercise price then in effect on such fifth trading day (after giving effect to a proportional adjustment of the exercise price), is greater than the Event Market Price, then the conversion price shall be adjusted to the Event Market Price. Upon each such adjustment of the exercise price hereunder, the number of underlying shares of Common Stock shall, subject to specified exceptions, be increased (but in no event decreased) to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of underlying shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the exercise price resulting from such adjustment.

 

The Warrant requires payments to be made by the Company for failure to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise. The Warrant also contains limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the Investor may not exercise its Warrant to the extent that upon exercise the Investor, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (subject to an increase or decrease, upon at least 61-days’ notice by the Investor to the Company, of up to 9.99%).

 

The exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations or similar events. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrant will also be subject to anti-dilution adjustment which, subject to specified exceptions, in the event that the Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, immediately reduces the exercise price of the Warrant to equal the price at which the Company issues or is deemed to have issued its Common Stock.

 

The Company may not enter into a fundamental transaction unless the successor entity assumes the obligations of the Company under the Warrant. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction involving a change of control, the holder of the Warrant will have the right to have the Warrant repurchased for a purchase price in cash equal to the Black-Scholes value (as calculated pursuant to the Warrants) of the then unexercised portion of the Warrant.

 

If the Company issues options, convertible securities, warrants, stock, or similar securities to holders of its Common Stock, the holder of the Warrant shall have the right to acquire the same as if it had exercised its Warrant.

 

The Investor is entitled to receive any dividends paid or distributions made to the holders of the Common Stock on an “as if exercised” to Common Stock basis.

Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, Eightco unconditionally guaranteed the payment, when due, of obligations pursuant to the put right. Eightco shall satisfy these obligations to the Preferred Members either in cash or, if Shareholder Approval has been obtained, through the issuance and delivery to each Preferred Member of one OCTO Share per Preferred Unit held by each Preferred Member.

 

Upon the Closing, Eightco issued the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) ten (10%) for the first twelve (12) months of the Promissory Notes and (ii) twelve percent (12%) thereafter until the maturity date of the Promissory Notes (the “Note Maturity Date”). The Note Maturity Date is the date that is the later of (i) 91 days after the Maturity Date (as defined in the Investor Note (as defined below)) of the Senior Secured Convertible Note issued by Eightco in favor of the Investor on May 5, 2022 (the “Investor Note”) and (ii) three years following the Closing. Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Promissory Notes may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty, provided, however, that Eightco agrees that, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement which specifically permit such prepayments in accordance therewith, it will make prepayments on the Promissory Notes and all other Seller Notes (as defined in the Promissory Notes) in amounts equal to the pro rata amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Seller Notes as a whole, as follows: (i) after Section 4(d) of the Amendment Agreement is satisfied such that excess cash may be removed from the Control Account, 50% of the cash proceeds of warrants exercised for common stock of the Eightco until an aggregate amount of $10 million in prepayments is made on the Seller Notes from such warrant exercises, (ii) 25% of all gross proceeds received by Eightco in any and all debt and equity capital raises by the Eightco (excluding warrant exercises) from and after the date of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) at least an aggregate of $11.5 million (including any prepayments made pursuant to clauses (i-ii) above) within the first twelve (12) months of the issuance of the Promissory Notes.

 

So long as the Eightco has received Shareholder Approval and the Threshold Date has been reached, at any time commencing after the 12-month anniversary of the date of the Promissory Notes, the holder of the Promissory Notes may, in its sole and absolute discretion, convert all or part of the Promissory Notes into shares of common stock of the Eightco (the “Conversion Shares”) at a per share conversion price equal to the VWAP of a OCTO Share for the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice being provided to the Eightco by the holder of the Promissory Notes (the “Conversion Price”), with the Conversion Price being subject to a conversion price floor of $2.00 per share of common stock. If the VWAP is less than $2.00 and the holder converts all or part of the Note at $2.00 per share, then the holder shall be entitled to receive an additional Promissory Note with the same economic terms as the original Promissory Note in a principal amount equal to (A) $2.00 minus the VWAP multiplied by (B) the number of Conversion Shares issued upon the conversion.

 

On March 27, 2024, the Company issued 120,974 shares of common stock which retired a portion of the Promissory Notes.

 

Series A Preferred Stock Designation and Dividend

 

On January 17, 2023, the board of directors of the Company declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share to stockholders of record at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 27, 2023 (the “Record Date”).

 

On January 19, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State for its Series A Preferred Stock. The number of shares designated is three hundred thousand (300,000). All shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued have been since redeemed.

 

 

Nasdaq Deficiency Notice

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities for the 31 consecutive business days from August 16, 2023 to September 28, 2023, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company’s common shares must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

 

On March 28, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. The Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. Specifically, the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Company has appealed the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, and is awaiting the decision of the Panel. The hearing has stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, the determination of share-based compensation and financial instruments. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eightco Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned, majority owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements.

 

The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable reserves, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, debt conversion features, stock-based compensation, certain assumptions related to the valuation of the reserved shares and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Company’s acquisitions. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets include the cost of developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and identifiable media and influencer platforms. Intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives. A significant percentage of the Company’s’ long term assets are intangibles assets and therefore, estimates regarding the fair value of these assets have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.

 

We may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach.

 

The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requires our management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, our business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is a significant percentage of the Company’s’ long term assets and therefore, estimates regarding the fair value of our goodwill have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

 

Warrant Accounting

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

 

The Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as equity on its consolidated balance sheets as this warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that is indexed to the Company’s own stock and meets the criteria for equity classification. Each warrant is initially recorded within equity at the date of grant, net of issuance costs, and is not subsequently re-measured. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are not recognized after the initial measurement. The warrants will remain classified in equity until they are exercised or expire.

 

Key Components of our Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We generate the majority of our revenues from inventory financing through our wholly owned subsidiary, Forever 8 Fund, LLC. In addition, we will generate revenues from the sale of corrugated custom packaging to a wide array of customers. In 2022, the Company generated revenues from the sale of Bitcoin mining equipment offered through CW Machines, LLC. The Company no longer anticipates generating any revenues from the sale of Bitcoin mining equipment.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor costs and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, overhead and shipping and handling costs. In 2022, we incurred costs related to the purchase of Bitcoin mining equipment, which was resold through CW Machines, LLC. The Company no longer anticipates purchasing Bitcoin mining equipment for resale.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, finance and professional expenses.

  

Interest Expense and Income, Net

 

Interest expense includes the cost of our borrowings under our debt arrangements. Interest income includes the interest earned under our notes receivable.

 

Other Income

 

Other income includes the gain on disposal of the building located in Washington, New Jersey.

Revenue

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenues increased by $43,476,705 or 136.63%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of increased sales through the inventory management solutions business which resulted in revenues of $67,568,353 for the year ended December 31, 2023 versus $23,785,070 for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company had revenues of $0 and $9,590,100 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its BTC Mining Equipment Business. The Company no longer expects to generate revenues related to CW Machines.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, cost of revenues increased by $37,178,154 or 125.49%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was largely attributable to the increase in total revenues, increased costs of materials and production, as well as costs associated with the delivery and sale of goods related to the inventory management solutions business. In addition, the Company had cost of revenues of $0 and $9,390,096 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its BTC Mining Equipment Business. The Company no longer expects to generate revenues related to CW Machines.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, gross profit increased by $6,298,551, or 287.09%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was largely attributable to the increase in sales through the Forever 8 Fund. In addition, the Company had gross profit of $0 and $200,004 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its BTC Mining Equipment Business. The Company no longer expects to generate revenues related to CW Machines.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16,335,561 and $16,401,414 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing a decrease of $65,763, or 0.40%. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in salaries.

 

Restructuring and severance expenses were $2,133,982 and $1,300,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing an increase of $833,982, or 64.15%. The increase was largely attributable to the headcount reductions.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $11,553,589 for the year ended December 31, 2023, versus $6,966,606 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was largely attributable to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to borrowing under the convertible notes payable.

 

Total other (expense) income

 

Total other (expense) income was ($58,343,242) for the year ended December 31, 2023 versus ($32,111,553) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in total other income (expense) was largely attributable to the loss on issuance of warrants and amortized interest expense.

 

Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense (benefit) was $- for the year ended December 31, 2023, versus an income tax benefit of ($172,997) for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was a result of state taxes related to Ferguson Containers, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Net (loss) income

 

Net loss was ($68,320,414) for the year ended December 31, 2023, versus a net loss of ($47,446,060) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net loss was largely attributable to the loss on issuance of warrants and amortized interest expense.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Eightco Holdings Inc. has required funding from the Former Parent to fund its operations. In addition, other than those that relate to the Note Private Placement, which currently amount to approximately $7.9 million, the Company has no significant debt obligations.

 

The Company currently has approximately $500,000 in cash. The Company expects to need additional capital in order to fund its operations and increase revenues above current levels.

 

Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

Since inception, Eightco Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries have primarily used its available cash to fund its operations. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the periods presented:

 

		For the Years Ended December 31,
		2023				2022
Cash (used in) provided by:
Operating Activities		$	(6,399,079	)		$	(16,719,389	)
Investing Activities			(295,150	)			468,419
Financing Activities			6,361,634				20,920,207
Net increase in cash and restricted cash		$	(332,595	)		$	4,669,237

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash (used in) operating activities was ($6,399,079) during the year ended December 31, 2023, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $68,320,414 offset by non-cash depreciation expense of $3,044,531, amortization of debt issuance costs of $8,109,078, impairment charges of 292,748, share based compensation of ($358,937), loss on issuance of warrants of $46,928,815 and changes in assets and liabilities of $3,899,203. Net cash (used in) operating activities was ($16,719,389) during the year ended December 31, 2022, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $47,446,060 offset by non-cash depreciation expense of $848,933, amortization of debt issuance costs of $6,217,053, impairment charges of $1,300,000, share based compensation of $1,504,500, loss on issuance of warrants of $25,318,519, bad debt expense of $608,356 and changes in assets and liabilities of ($5,070,690).

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was ($295,150) during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $468,419 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease is largely attributable to cash received from the acquisition of the Forever 8 Fund, LLC recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,361,634 during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $20,920,207 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and borrowings under convertible notes as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Eightco Holdings Inc. has required funding from the Former Parent to launch operations. Ferguson Containers has historically had positive cash flows from operations. Since inception, Ferguson Containers Inc.’s operations have been funded principally through its operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since Inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $113,278,588 as of December 31, 2023 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets and has a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2022. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents, approximately $500,000 as of the date of this annual report, will not be sufficient to support its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from this date.

 

The Company expects to need additional capital in order to increase revenues above current levels. Any additional equity financing, if available, may not be on favorable terms and would likely be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will likely have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 2023, the Company began reducing headcount to reduce the corporate overhead. The Company has continued to raise capital in 2024 and will continue to look to reduce costs in 2024.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any relationships with any organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of

Eightco Holdings Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eightco Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

As used herein, “Eightco” and the “Company” refer to Eightco Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries and/or where applicable, its management, a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada. On March 9, 2022, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion entered into with its former parent, Vinco Ventures, Inc. (“Vinco” or “Former Parent”). The Company operates in three main businesses: Forever 8 Inventory Cash Flow Solution, Web3 Business, and Packaging Business. Forever 8 Fund LLC (“Forever 8”), which focuses on purchasing inventory for e-commerce retailers, was acquired by the company on October 1, 2022, and is part of its Inventory Solution Business. The Company previously sold BTC mining equipment and developed an NFT character set under its Web3 Business but has no intention of continuing this business at this time. The Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image through packaging. Prior to the Separation (as defined below), the Company was 100% owned by Vinco.

 

As of December 31, 2023, Eightco had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Forever 8, Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Ferguson Containers”) and BlockHiro, LLC. Ferguson Containers owns 100% of 8co Holdings Shared Services, LLC. Eightco owns 51% of CW Machines, LLC which is consolidated under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest entity model, control is presumed by the holder of a majority voting interest unless noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights. Forever 8 owns 100% of Forever 8 UK, Ltd and Forever 8 Fund EU Holdings BV.

 

During 2021, the Former Parent announced it plans to spin-off (the “Separation”) certain of its businesses. The Former Parent has included Ferguson Containers as well as other subsidiaries of the Former Parent (the “Eightco Businesses”) as part of the spin-off. In anticipation of the Separation, the Former Parent contributed its assets and legal entities comprising the Eightco Businesses to facilitate the Separation. As a result of the Separation, the Company has become an independent, publicly traded company comprised of the Eightco Businesses on June 30, 2022.

 

On March 29, 2022, Ferguson Containers ownership was assigned by the Former Parent to the Company. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Eightco.

 

Basis of Presentation.

 

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2021 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Reverse Stock Split: On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware (1) to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (2) to change the name of the Company from “Cryptyde, Inc.” to “Eightco Holdings Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Both the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were effective as of 4:05 p.m., New York time, on April 3, 2023. The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 4, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is “OCTO.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is 22890A203. All share, equity award, and per share amounts contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the determination of the economic useful life of depreciable property and equipment. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Business Combinations. For business combinations that meet the accounting definition of a business, the Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, as of the date of acquisition at fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future. Revenues and costs of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. As a result, any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period is included in operating results in the period in which the amount is determined (See Note 3 – Acquisitions).

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash. The Company’s restricted cash, for the period ended December 31, 2022, consisted of cash that the Company was contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its January 26, 2022 Secured Convertible Note.

 

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimated allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using a loss-rate approach based on historical loss information, adjusted for management’s expectations about current and future economic conditions, as the basis to determine expected credit losses. Management exercises significant judgment in determining expected credit losses. Key inputs include macroeconomic factors, industry trends, the creditworthiness of counterparties, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Management believes that the composition of receivables at year-end is consistent with historical conditions as credit terms and practices and the client base has not changed significantly. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses was $67,350 and $46,705 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was one customer who represented 27% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023.

 

Inventories. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.

 

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 3 to 5 years for office equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 6 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for building improvements, 5 years for software, 5 years for molds, 5 to 7 years for vehicles and 40 years for buildings. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of comprehensive loss for the respective period. Minor additions and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Major additions and repairs which extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives.

 

Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets using undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges to long lived assets in the amounts of $292,748 and $1,300,000, respectively. We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets include the cost of developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames. Intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, as follows: 10 years for developed technology, 7 years for customer relationships and 7 years for trademarks and tradenames. The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. In the event that management decides to no longer allocate resources to an asset, an impairment loss equal to the remaining carrying value of the asset is recorded. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to intangibles assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis as of December 31st, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. We may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach. The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requires our management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, the Company’s business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Contingent Liabilities. The Company, from time to time, may be involved in certain legal proceedings. Based upon consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters and the Company’s analysis of potential outcomes, if the Company determines that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, an estimate of the contingent liability is recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated loss can be determined, an amount within the range that, based on estimates, assumptions and judgments, reflects the most likely outcome, is recorded as a contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In situations where none of the estimates within the estimated range is a better estimate of probable loss than any other amount, the Company records the low end of the range. Any such accrual would be charged to expense in the appropriate period. Litigation expenses for these types of contingencies are recognized in the period in which the litigation services were provided.

 

Warrants. The Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as equity on its consolidated balance sheets as this warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that is indexed to the Company’s own stock and meets the criteria for equity classification. Each warrant is initially recorded within equity at the date of grant, net of issuance costs, and is not subsequently re-measured. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are not recognized after the initial measurement. The warrants will remain classified in equity until they are exercised or expire.

 

Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon receipt by the customer. There are no contract assets or contract liabilities and therefore no unsatisfied performance obligations. One customer represented 71% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of consumer goods through our inventory management solutions business and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. There are no other material operations that were separately disaggregated for segment purposes.

 

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, depreciation and inspection costs.

 

Comprehensive income. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive loss, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation. Eightco’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and the Forever 8 functional currency in which it operates is the Euro (“EUR”).

 

For the purpose of presenting these condensed consolidated financial statements the reporting currency is USD. Forever 8 assets and liabilities are expressed in USDs at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.

 

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Exchange rate used for the translation as follows:

 

USD to EUR – 1 USD to .9009 EUR’s.

USD to GBP – 1 USD to .7874 GBP’s.

 

Earnings Per Share. The Company follows ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs include debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability and are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included as a component of interest expense. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the recognized debt liability which approximates the effective interest method.

 

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of $31,815,804. The estimated fair value of this debt approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market interest rates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. In regard to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as well as general economic conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. On December 31, 2023, amount due from one customer totaled approximately 21% of accounts receivable.

 

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the balance sheet. As of April 26, 2022, the date the Company assumed the lease, the operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability amounted to $98,736 with no cumulative-effect adjustment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as modified by FASB ASU No. 2019-10 and other subsequently issued related ASUs. The amendments in this Update affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2023 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did change how the allowance for credit losses is determined.

 

Segment Reporting. The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include inventory management solutions and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. Therefore, the Company only identifies two reportable operating segments.

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since Inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of 113,278,588 as of December 31, 2023 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets and has a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2022. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents, approximately $500,000 as of the date of this annual report, will not be sufficient to support its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from this date.

 

The Company expects to need additional capital in order to increase revenues above current levels. Any additional equity financing, if available, may not be on favorable terms and would likely be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will likely have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 2023, the Company began reducing headcount to reduce the corporate overhead. The Company has continued to raise capital in 2024 and will continue to look to reduce costs in 2024.

 

4. ACQUISITIONS

 

Effective October 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Forever 8.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers received consideration consisting of (i) an aggregate of 215,000 non-voting preferred membership units of Forever 8 (the “Initial Base Preferred Units”), subject to adjustments discussed below, (ii) convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $27.5 million (the “Promissory Notes”), and (iii) the right to receive potential earnout amounts as discussed below. The following table summarizes the aggregate preliminary purchase price consideration paid to acquire Forever 8 Fund, LLC:

 SCHEDULE OF PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATION PAID

		October 1,
		2022
215,000 non-voting preferred membership units of Forever 8		$	7,300,000
Convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $27.5 million			24,500,000
Contingent consideration			6,100,000
Total purchase price		$	37,900,000

 

The Company believes that this combination will further strengthen its future growth opportunities. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Paul Vassilakos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will remain as President of Forever 8 and is the Sellers representative and has the ability to make certain unilateral decisions on behalf of the Sellers.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

 SCHEDULE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED

		October 1,
		2022
Cash and cash equivalents		$	732,716
Accounts receivable, net			561,569
Inventories			7,464,823
Prepaid expenses and other assets			116,857
Property and equipment			2,146
Intangible assets			19,000,000
Goodwill			22,324,588
Total assets acquired			50,202,699
Accounts payable and accrued expenses			10,452,699
Debt			1,850,000
Earnout			-
Total liabilities assumed			12,302,699
Total		$	37,900,000

 

The Company classified the Initial Base Preferred Units as equity. The preferred units are convertible into common stock at a fixed ratio of 1:1 with no adjustments for changes in fair market value and no option for cash settlement. These factors, including the fixed-for-fixed conversion feature and settlement solely in shares, justify the classification of the $7.3 million ascribed to the Initial Base Preferred Units as additional paid-in capital. Non-voting preferred membership units of 215,000 remain outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

 

The Company anticipates the goodwill will be tax deductible.

8. LOAN HELD-FOR-INVESTMENT, RELATED PARTY

 

Loan held-for-investment, related party, represents a senior secured promissory note (“Note”) from Wattum Management Inc., a non-controlling member of CW Machines, LLC, a related party. The note bears interest of 5% per annum and matures on October 12, 2026 with the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest due at maturity date. The Note is secured by assets of Wattum Management, Inc. Expected credit losses for loan held for investment are based on management’s assessment of credit risk associated with the loan, including consideration of factors such as the financial condition of the entity, historical payment behavior, and any collateral or guarantees provided. The Company determined it was not necessary to record an allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the principal amount of the loan held for investment was $2,224,252, respectively.

As required by the July 2022 Amendment Agreement, the Company used $22,000,000 of the Released Funds to repurchase from the Investor $22,000,000 of the principal of the January 2022 Note. Pursuant to the July 2022 Amendment Agreement, the conversion price of the balance of the January 2022 Note that remains was voluntarily adjusted to $1.06 (the “Adjustment”). The July 2022 Amendment Agreement also amended the January 2022 Registration Rights Agreement. to require the Company to register (i) the number of shares of common stock equal to 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the January 2022 Note and (ii) the number of shares of common stock equal to 200% of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued under the Note Securities Purchase Agreement, assuming all cash has been released from the Restricted Funds Account and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrant issued under the Note Securities Purchase Agreement has been adjusted in accordance with Section 3(c) of the warrant. The July 2022 Amendment Agreement requires the Company to register additional shares of its common stock underlying the January 2022 Note. Accordingly, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 dated August 12, 2022 (the “August S-1”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The August S-1 includes 301,007 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the January 2022 Note as a result of the Adjustment.

16. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE (continued)

 

On September 14, 2022, the Company and the Note Investor entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) to permit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the entry into a purchase agreement for Forever 8. Pursuant to the Waiver, the conversion price and exercise price of the January 2022 Note and the January 2022 Warrants, respectively, were voluntarily and irrevocably adjusted to equal $50.00, subject to further adjustment as set forth therein. As a result of the price adjustment feature, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrants and conversion of the January 2022 Notes was increased upon the acquisition of Forever 8 on October 1, 2022.

 

As a result of the adjustment of the January 2022 Note and January 2022 Warrant conversion and exercise price, respectively, in the Waiver, the exercise price of (i) warrants to purchase up to 15,467 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Palladium Capital Group, LLC, (ii) warrants to purchase up to 66,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Note Investor, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by BHP Capital NY, Inc. was adjusted to $50.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with Hudson Bay to amend the (i) Note Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) the January 2022 Note, (iii) the January 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, and (iv) the January 2022 Warrant.

 

Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, the conversion price of the balance of the January 2022 Note that remains outstanding was voluntarily adjusted to $10.00 per share of Common Stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement grants the Company the right to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding amount of the January 2022 Note (the “Redemption Right”) upon 10 trading days’ notice provided that (i) no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the January 2022 Note) exists and (ii) the Company has sufficient resources to effect the redemption. The Redemption Right is subject to certain other restrictions contained in the Second Amendment Agreement.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement provides that if Hudson Bay converts any portion of the January 2022 Note during the 10 consecutive trading day period starting on January 6, 2023 (the “Applicable Conversion Period”), Hudson Bay shall, on the first business day immediately following the end of the Applicable Conversion Period, release to the Company an amount of cash from the Control Account (as defined in the January 2022 Note) equal to 20% of the amount converted during the Applicable Conversion Period if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock on each trading day during the Applicable Conversion Period equals or exceeds $10.00 and there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document (as defined in the Note Securities Purchase Agreement).

 

As a result of the voluntary adjustment to the conversion price of the January 2022 Note, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was automatically adjusted to $10.00 per share of common stock and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrant (the “HB Warrant Shares”) was proportionately increased to 3,333,333 HB Warrant Shares. Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, Hudson Bay agreed to waive the adjustment to the number of HB Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant to the extent such adjustment results in a number of HB Warrant Shares underlying the January 2022 Warrant exceeding 2,220,000. The Second Amendment Agreement provides that Hudson Bay (i) will not exercise January 2022 Warrants to purchase more than an aggregate of 1,500,000 HB Warrant Shares until March 2, 2023, provided such limitation will be waived upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the January 2022 Note) or if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day from January 6, 2023 until March 2, 2023 is less than $11.00 and (ii) will not exercise the January 2022 Warrant until (x) such time as the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the January 2022 Note is equal to or less than the amount remaining in the Control Account or (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “HB Initial Exercisability Date”). However, Hudson Bay may exercise Warrants for up to 200,000 shares of common stock prior to the HB Initial Exercisability Date if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day during the period starting on March 1, 2023 and ending on and including March 31, 2023 is less than $10.00. If the VWAP of the common stock on each trading day from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, is greater than $11.00, Hudson Bay will forfeit the right to purchase 720,000 HB Warrant Shares pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant, provided that there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document. Additionally, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was voluntarily further adjusted to $0.01 per share of common stock in lieu of the investors taking less warrant shares. The VWAP of the common stock, from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, was below $11.00, as such Hudson Bay did not forfeit the 720,000 HB Warrant Shares.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement required the Company to provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, which was required to be held no later than April 1, 2023, a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the stockholder meeting for approving the increase of the authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 (“Stockholder Approval”). The Stockholder Approval was obtained at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on March 15, 2023.

 

The warrants issued by the Company were modified to reduce the exercise price, which also increased the number of warrants to purchase common stock. The warrant modification expense of $43,344,150 was computed on the modification date using a per share price of $0.32 per share. The fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing models with the following assumptions:

 

		Dividend Yield				Expected Volatility				Risk-free Interest Rate				Expected Life
Hudson Bay Warrant; as adjusted January 2023			0.00	%			142.28	%			4.10	%			2.5 years

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no charge during 2023, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2023 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There is no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023.

 

The Company files U.S. income tax returns and a state income tax return. With few exceptions, the U.S. and state income tax returns filed for the tax years ending on December 31, 2021 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $8,755,550 and credit carryforwards are subject to annual limitations due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The Company’s net operating loss carryforward begins to expire in 2041.

21. SEGMENTING REPORTING

 

The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products to be sold. The products from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2023 were the Inventory Management Solutions segment and the Corrugated segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of December 31, 2023 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers.

 

Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the chief operating decision maker. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

 

Segment information available with respect to these reportable business segments for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

On March 28, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. The Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. Specifically, the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination as described in further detail below, we have determined that the Company’s securities will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on April 8, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

We intend on appealing the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION   As used herein, “Eightco” and the “Company” refer to Eightco Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries and/or where applicable, its management, a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada. On March 9, 2022, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion entered into with its former parent, Vinco Ventures, Inc. (“Vinco” or “Former Parent”). The Company operates in three main businesses: Forever 8 Inventory Cash Flow Solution, Web3 Business, and Packaging Business. Forever 8 Fund LLC (“Forever 8”), which focuses on purchasing inventory for e-commerce retailers, was acquired by the company on October 1, 2022, and is part of its Inventory Solution Business. The Company previously sold BTC mining equipment and developed an NFT character set under its Web3 Business but has no intention of continuing this business at this time. The Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image through packaging. Prior to the Separation (as defined below), the Company was 100% owned by Vinco.   As of December 31, 2023, Eightco had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Forever 8, Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Ferguson Containers”) and BlockHiro, LLC. Ferguson Containers owns 100% of 8co Holdings Shared Services, LLC. Eightco owns 51% of CW Machines, LLC which is consolidated under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest entity model, control is presumed by the holder of a majority voting interest unless noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights. Forever 8 owns 100% of Forever 8 UK, Ltd and Forever 8 Fund EU Holdings BV.   During 2021, the Former Parent announced it plans to spin-off (the “Separation”) certain of its businesses. The Former Parent has included Ferguson Containers as well as other subsidiaries of the Former Parent (the “Eightco Businesses”) as part of the spin-off. In anticipation of the Separation, the Former Parent contributed its assets and legal entities comprising the Eightco Businesses to facilitate the Separation. As a result of the Separation, the Company has become an independent, publicly traded company comprised of the Eightco Businesses on June 30, 2022.   On March 29, 2022, Ferguson Containers ownership was assigned by the Former Parent to the Company. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Eightco.   Basis of Presentation.   The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.   The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2021 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.     EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   Reverse Stock Split: On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware (1) to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (2) to change the name of the Company from “Cryptyde, Inc.” to “Eightco Holdings Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Both the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were effective as of 4:05 p.m., New York time, on April 3, 2023. The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 4, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is “OCTO.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is 22890A203. All share, equity award, and per share amounts contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.   Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the determination of the economic useful life of depreciable property and equipment. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.   Business Combinations. For business combinations that meet the accounting definition of a business, the Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, as of the date of acquisition at fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future. Revenues and costs of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. As a result, any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period is included in operating results in the period in which the amount is determined (See Note 3 – Acquisitions).   Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.   Restricted Cash. The Company’s restricted cash, for the period ended December 31, 2022, consisted of cash that the Company was contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its January 26, 2022 Secured Convertible Note.   Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimated allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using a loss-rate approach based on historical loss information, adjusted for management’s expectations about current and future economic conditions, as the basis to determine expected credit losses. Management exercises significant judgment in determining expected credit losses. Key inputs include macroeconomic factors, industry trends, the creditworthiness of counterparties, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Management believes that the composition of receivables at year-end is consistent with historical conditions as credit terms and practices and the client base has not changed significantly. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses was $67,350 and $46,705 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was one customer who represented 27% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023.   Inventories. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.   Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 3 to 5 years for office equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 6 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for building improvements, 5 years for software, 5 years for molds, 5 to 7 years for vehicles and 40 years for buildings. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of comprehensive loss for the respective period. Minor additions and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Major additions and repairs which extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives.   Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets using undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges to long lived assets in the amounts of $292,748 and $1,300,000, respectively. We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets include the cost of developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames. Intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, as follows: 10 years for developed technology, 7 years for customer relationships and 7 years for trademarks and tradenames. The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. In the event that management decides to no longer allocate resources to an asset, an impairment loss equal to the remaining carrying value of the asset is recorded. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to intangibles assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.   Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis as of December 31st, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. We may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach. The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requires our management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, the Company’s business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.     EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022   2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)   Contingent Liabilities. The Company, from time to time, may be involved in certain legal proceedings. Based upon consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters and the Company’s analysis of potential outcomes, if the Company determines that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, an estimate of the contingent liability is recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated loss can be determined, an amount within the range that, based on estimates, assumptions and judgments, reflects the most likely outcome, is recorded as a contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In situations where none of the estimates within the estimated range is a better estimate of probable loss than any other amount, the Company records the low end of the range. Any such accrual would be charged to expense in the appropriate period. Litigation expenses for these types of contingencies are recognized in the period in which the litigation services were provided.   Warrants. The Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as equity on its consolidated balance sheets as this warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that is indexed to the Company’s own stock and meets the criteria for equity classification. Each warrant is initially recorded within equity at the date of grant, net of issuance costs, and is not subsequently re-measured. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are not recognized after the initial measurement. The warrants will remain classified in equity until they are exercised or expire.   Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon receipt by the customer. There are no contract assets or contract liabilities and therefore no unsatisfied performance obligations. One customer represented 71% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023.   Disaggregation of Revenue. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of consumer goods through our inventory management solutions business and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. There are no other material operations that were separately disaggregated for segment purposes.   Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, depreciation and inspection costs.   Comprehensive income. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive loss, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.   Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation. Eightco’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and the Forever 8 functional currency in which it operates is the Euro (“EUR”).   For the purpose of presenting these condensed consolidated financial statements the reporting currency is USD. Forever 8 assets and liabilities are expressed in USDs at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.   Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in statement of comprehensive loss.   Exchange rate used for the translation as follows:   USD to EUR – 1 USD to .9009 EUR’s. USD to GBP – 1 USD to .7874 GBP’s.   Earnings Per Share. The Company follows ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS ANTI DILUTIVE     December 31, 2023     December 31, 2022                 Warrants for Former Parent warrant holders     -       15,356   Convertible shares under notes payable     2,445,153       194,867   Warrants for noteholders and placement agent     221,084       720,000   Warrants for equity investors and placement agent     728,000       259,200   Shares to be issued to employees and directors     -       23,250   Shares reserved for issuance for preferred units of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     215,000       210,000   Convertible notes payable issued in acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     273,837       275,000   Shares reserved for contingent consideration for acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     370,000       140,000   Total common stock equivalents     4,253,074       1,837,673       EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022   2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)   Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs include debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability and are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included as a component of interest expense. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the recognized debt liability which approximates the effective interest method.   Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.   Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.   ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)   The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of $31,815,804. The estimated fair value of this debt approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market interest rates.   Concentration of Credit Risks. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. In regard to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as well as general economic conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. On December 31, 2023, amount due from one customer totaled approximately 21% of accounts receivable.   Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the balance sheet. As of April 26, 2022, the date the Company assumed the lease, the operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability amounted to $98,736 with no cumulative-effect adjustment.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as modified by FASB ASU No. 2019-10 and other subsequently issued related ASUs. The amendments in this Update affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2023 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did change how the allowance for credit losses is determined.   Segment Reporting. The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include inventory management solutions and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. Therefore, the Company only identifies two reportable operating segments.     EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
GOING CONCERN	3. GOING CONCERN   The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since Inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of 113,278,588 as of December 31, 2023 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets and has a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.   As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2022. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents, approximately $500,000 as of the date of this annual report, will not be sufficient to support its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from this date.   The Company expects to need additional capital in order to increase revenues above current levels. Any additional equity financing, if available, may not be on favorable terms and would likely be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will likely have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 2023, the Company began reducing headcount to reduce the corporate overhead. The Company has continued to raise capital in 2024 and will continue to look to reduce costs in 2024.

The following table summarizes the aggregate preliminary purchase price consideration paid to acquire Forever 8 Fund, LLC:  SCHEDULE OF PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATION PAID     October 1,       2022   215,000 non-voting preferred membership units of Forever 8   $ 7,300,000   Convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $27.5 million     24,500,000   Contingent consideration     6,100,000   Total purchase price   $ 37,900,000     The Company believes that this combination will further strengthen its future growth opportunities. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Paul Vassilakos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will remain as President of Forever 8 and is the Sellers representative and has the ability to make certain unilateral decisions on behalf of the Sellers.   The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:  SCHEDULE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED     October 1,       2022   Cash and cash equivalents   $ 732,716   Accounts receivable, net     561,569   Inventories     7,464,823   Prepaid expenses and other assets     116,857   Property and equipment     2,146   Intangible assets     19,000,000   Goodwill     22,324,588   Total assets acquired     50,202,699             Accounts payable and accrued expenses     10,452,699   Debt     1,850,000   Earnout     -   Total liabilities assumed     12,302,699             Total   $ 37,900,000     The Company classified the Initial Base Preferred Units as equity. The preferred units are convertible into common stock at a fixed ratio of 1:1 with no adjustments for changes in fair market value and no option for cash settlement. These factors, including the fixed-for-fixed conversion feature and settlement solely in shares, justify the classification of the $7.3 million ascribed to the Initial Base Preferred Units as additional paid-in capital. Non-voting preferred membership units of 215,000 remain outstanding as of December 31, 2023.   The Company anticipates the goodwill will be tax deductible.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE (continued)   Securities Purchase Agreement   The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by Hudson Bay and the sale by the Company of the March 2023 Note and the March 2023 Warrant. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and Hudson Bay that are typical for transactions of this type. The representations and warranties made by the Company in the Securities Purchase Agreement are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in disclosure schedules delivered to Hudson Bay. Accordingly, the representations and warranties contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon by third parties who have not reviewed those disclosure schedules and the documentation surrounding the transaction as a whole.   The Securities Purchase Agreement closed upon the satisfaction of certain conditions of Hudson Bay and the Company that are typical for transactions of this type, as well certain other condition including the following:     ● the Company delivered to Hudson Bay a lock up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), executed by each of the parties identified in the Securities Purchase Agreement;         ● the Company received stockholder approval of a resolution to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company, and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation causing the increase in the amount of authorized shares of the Company; and         ● the Company, Hudson Bay and the certain creditors of the Company amended that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2022, by and among the Company, the Investor and certain persons identified in that Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement Amendment”).   The Securities Purchase Agreement also obligates the Company to indemnify Hudson Bay for certain losses resulting from (1) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (2) any breach of any obligation of the Company or, any subsidiary of the Company, of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any agreements and instruments entered into or connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement and (3) certain third party claims.   Senior Secured Convertible Note   The Company issued the Note upon the closing.

If on the on the fifth trading day immediately following a Stock Combination Event, the conversion price then in effect on such fifth trading day (after giving effect to a proportional adjustment of the conversion price), is greater than the lowest weighted average price of the Common Stock during the twenty consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the fifth trading day after such Stock Combination Event (the “Event Market Price”), then the conversion price shall be adjusted to the Event Market Price.   The March 2023 Note contains certain limitations on conversion. It provides that no conversion may be made if, after giving effect to the conversion, Hudson Bay would own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. This percentage may be increased or decreased to a percentage not to exceed 9.99%, at the option of Hudson Bay, except any increase will not be effective until 61-days’ prior notice to the Company.     EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

The Company also incurred $664,389 of issuance expenses which were recorded as deferred debt discount. The fair value of the warrants was computed on the grant date using a per share price of $0.12 per share. The fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing models with the following assumptions:  SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF OPTION WITH ASSUMPTIONS      Dividend Yield     Expected Volatility     Risk-free Interest Rate     Expected Life   Hudson Bay Warrant; March 2023     0.00 %     143.23 %     3.88 %     2.5 years   Palladium Capital Warrant; March 2023     0.00 %     143.23 %     3.88 %     2.5 years       EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

The adjustment resulted in a fair value of $3,387,604, of which $3,387,604 was immediately expensed as loss on issuance of warrants.

As required by the July 2022 Amendment Agreement, the Company used $22,000,000 of the Released Funds to repurchase from the Investor $22,000,000 of the principal of the January 2022 Note. Pursuant to the July 2022 Amendment Agreement, the conversion price of the balance of the January 2022 Note that remains was voluntarily adjusted to $1.06 (the “Adjustment”). The July 2022 Amendment Agreement also amended the January 2022 Registration Rights Agreement. to require the Company to register (i) the number of shares of common stock equal to 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the January 2022 Note and (ii) the number of shares of common stock equal to 200% of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued under the Note Securities Purchase Agreement, assuming all cash has been released from the Restricted Funds Account and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrant issued under the Note Securities Purchase Agreement has been adjusted in accordance with Section 3(c) of the warrant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022   16. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE (continued)   On September 14, 2022, the Company and the Note Investor entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) to permit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the entry into a purchase agreement for Forever 8. Pursuant to the Waiver, the conversion price and exercise price of the January 2022 Note and the January 2022 Warrants, respectively, were voluntarily and irrevocably adjusted to equal $50.00, subject to further adjustment as set forth therein. As a result of the price adjustment feature, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrants and conversion of the January 2022 Notes was increased upon the acquisition of Forever 8 on October 1, 2022.   As a result of the adjustment of the January 2022 Note and January 2022 Warrant conversion and exercise price, respectively, in the Waiver, the exercise price of (i) warrants to purchase up to 15,467 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Palladium Capital Group, LLC, (ii) warrants to purchase up to 66,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Note Investor, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by BHP Capital NY, Inc. was adjusted to $50.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock.   On January 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with Hudson Bay to amend the (i) Note Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) the January 2022 Note, (iii) the January 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, and (iv) the January 2022 Warrant.   Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, the conversion price of the balance of the January 2022 Note that remains outstanding was voluntarily adjusted to $10.00 per share of Common Stock.   The Second Amendment Agreement grants the Company the right to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding amount of the January 2022 Note (the “Redemption Right”) upon 10 trading days’ notice provided that (i) no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the January 2022 Note) exists and (ii) the Company has sufficient resources to effect the redemption. The Redemption Right is subject to certain other restrictions contained in the Second Amendment Agreement.   The Second Amendment Agreement provides that if Hudson Bay converts any portion of the January 2022 Note during the 10 consecutive trading day period starting on January 6, 2023 (the “Applicable Conversion Period”), Hudson Bay shall, on the first business day immediately following the end of the Applicable Conversion Period, release to the Company an amount of cash from the Control Account (as defined in the January 2022 Note) equal to 20% of the amount converted during the Applicable Conversion Period if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock on each trading day during the Applicable Conversion Period equals or exceeds $10.00 and there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document (as defined in the Note Securities Purchase Agreement).   As a result of the voluntary adjustment to the conversion price of the January 2022 Note, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was automatically adjusted to $10.00 per share of common stock and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrant (the “HB Warrant Shares”) was proportionately increased to 3,333,333 HB Warrant Shares. Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, Hudson Bay agreed to waive the adjustment to the number of HB Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant to the extent such adjustment results in a number of HB Warrant Shares underlying the January 2022 Warrant exceeding 2,220,000. The Second Amendment Agreement provides that Hudson Bay (i) will not exercise January 2022 Warrants to purchase more than an aggregate of 1,500,000 HB Warrant Shares until March 2, 2023, provided such limitation will be waived upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the January 2022 Note) or if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day from January 6, 2023 until March 2, 2023 is less than $11.00 and (ii) will not exercise the January 2022 Warrant until (x) such time as the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the January 2022 Note is equal to or less than the amount remaining in the Control Account or (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “HB Initial Exercisability Date”). However, Hudson Bay may exercise Warrants for up to 200,000 shares of common stock prior to the HB Initial Exercisability Date if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day during the period starting on March 1, 2023 and ending on and including March 31, 2023 is less than $10.00. If the VWAP of the common stock on each trading day from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, is greater than $11.00, Hudson Bay will forfeit the right to purchase 720,000 HB Warrant Shares pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant, provided that there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document. Additionally, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was voluntarily further adjusted to $0.01 per share of common stock in lieu of the investors taking less warrant shares. The VWAP of the common stock, from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, was below $11.00, as such Hudson Bay did not forfeit the 720,000 HB Warrant Shares.   The Second Amendment Agreement required the Company to provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, which was required to be held no later than April 1, 2023, a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the stockholder meeting for approving the increase of the authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 (“Stockholder Approval”). The Stockholder Approval was obtained at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on March 15, 2023.   The warrants issued by the Company were modified to reduce the exercise price, which also increased the number of warrants to purchase common stock. The warrant modification expense of $43,344,150 was computed on the modification date using a per share price of $0.32 per share. The fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing models with the following assumptions:       Dividend Yield     Expected Volatility     Risk-free Interest Rate     Expected Life   Hudson Bay Warrant; as adjusted January 2023     0.00 %     142.28 %     4.10 %     2.5 years   Palladium Capital Warrant; as adjusted January 2023     0.00 %     142.28 %     4.10 %     2.5 years   BHP Warrant; as adjusted January 2023     0.00 %     142.28 %     4.10 %     2.5 years       EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENTING REPORTING	21. SEGMENTING REPORTING   The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products to be sold. The products from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2023 were the Inventory Management Solutions segment and the Corrugated segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of December 31, 2023 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers.   Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the chief operating decision maker. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.   Segment information available with respect to these reportable business segments for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:  SCHEDULE OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS     2023     2022       For the Years Ended December 31,       2023     2022                     Revenues:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 67,568,353     $ 23,785,070   Corrugated     7,729,131       8,035,709   Total segment and consolidated revenues   $ 75,297,484     $ 31,820,779                     Cost of revenues:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 61,308,561     $ 23,554,550   Corrugated     5,496,462       6,072,319   Total segment and consolidated cost of revenues   $ 66,805,023     $ 29,626,869                     Gross profit:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 6,259,792     $ 230,520   Corrugated     2,232,669       1,963,390   Total segment and consolidated gross profit   $ 8,492,461     $ 2,193,910                     Income from operations:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ (3,063,241 )   $ (3,034,702 ) Corrugated     702,645       391,139   Corporate     (7,116,576 )     (12,863,941 ) Total segment and consolidated income from operations   $ (9,477,172 )    $ (15,507,504 )                   Depreciation and amortization:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 2,830,306     $ 578,608   Corrugated     214,225       270,325   Total segment and consolidated depreciation and amortization   $ 3,044,531     $ 848,933                     Revenues by geography:                 North America   $ 14,634,111     $ 19,020,719   Europe     60,663,373       12,800,060   Total geography and consolidated revenues   $ 75,297,484     $ 31,820,779                     Segment capital expenditures:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 51,922,852     $ 1,775,748   Corrugated     2,967,629       105,703   Corporate     2,409,913       -   Total segment and consolidated capital expenditures   $ 57,300,394     $ 1,881,451                     Segment total assets:                 Inventory Management Solutions   $ 50,023,910     $ 49,572,768   Corrugated     2,967,629       3,109,690   Corporate     2,419,904       5,918,141   Total segment and consolidated assets   $ 55,411,443     $ 58,600,599       EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC.

All share, equity award, and per share amounts contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the determination of the economic useful life of depreciable property and equipment. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations. For business combinations that meet the accounting definition of a business, the Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, as of the date of acquisition at fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future. Revenues and costs of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. As a result, any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period is included in operating results in the period in which the amount is determined (See Note 3 – Acquisitions).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash. The Company’s restricted cash, for the period ended December 31, 2022, consisted of cash that the Company was contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its January 26, 2022 Secured Convertible Note.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimated allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using a loss-rate approach based on historical loss information, adjusted for management’s expectations about current and future economic conditions, as the basis to determine expected credit losses. Management exercises significant judgment in determining expected credit losses. Key inputs include macroeconomic factors, industry trends, the creditworthiness of counterparties, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Management believes that the composition of receivables at year-end is consistent with historical conditions as credit terms and practices and the client base has not changed significantly. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses was $67,350 and $46,705 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was one customer who represented 27% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023.
Inventories	Inventories. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 3 to 5 years for office equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 6 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for building improvements, 5 years for software, 5 years for molds, 5 to 7 years for vehicles and 40 years for buildings. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of comprehensive loss for the respective period. Minor additions and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Major additions and repairs which extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives.
Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets	Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets using undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges to long lived assets in the amounts of $292,748 and $1,300,000, respectively. We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets include the cost of developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames. Intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, as follows: 10 years for developed technology, 7 years for customer relationships and 7 years for trademarks and tradenames. The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. In the event that management decides to no longer allocate resources to an asset, an impairment loss equal to the remaining carrying value of the asset is recorded. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to intangibles assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Goodwill	Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis as of December 31st, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. We may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach. The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requires our management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, the Company’s business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.     EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022   2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Contingent Liabilities	Contingent Liabilities. The Company, from time to time, may be involved in certain legal proceedings. Based upon consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters and the Company’s analysis of potential outcomes, if the Company determines that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, an estimate of the contingent liability is recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated loss can be determined, an amount within the range that, based on estimates, assumptions and judgments, reflects the most likely outcome, is recorded as a contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In situations where none of the estimates within the estimated range is a better estimate of probable loss than any other amount, the Company records the low end of the range. Any such accrual would be charged to expense in the appropriate period. Litigation expenses for these types of contingencies are recognized in the period in which the litigation services were provided.
Warrants	Warrants. The Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as equity on its consolidated balance sheets as this warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that is indexed to the Company’s own stock and meets the criteria for equity classification. Each warrant is initially recorded within equity at the date of grant, net of issuance costs, and is not subsequently re-measured. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are not recognized after the initial measurement. The warrants will remain classified in equity until they are exercised or expire.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon receipt by the customer. There are no contract assets or contract liabilities and therefore no unsatisfied performance obligations. One customer represented 71% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Disaggregation of Revenue	Disaggregation of Revenue. The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale of consumer goods through our inventory management solutions business and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. There are no other material operations that were separately disaggregated for segment purposes.
Cost of Revenues	Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, depreciation and inspection costs.
Comprehensive income	Comprehensive income. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive loss, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation	Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation. Eightco’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and the Forever 8 functional currency in which it operates is the Euro (“EUR”).   For the purpose of presenting these condensed consolidated financial statements the reporting currency is USD. Forever 8 assets and liabilities are expressed in USDs at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.   Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in statement of comprehensive loss.   Exchange rate used for the translation as follows:   USD to EUR – 1 USD to .9009 EUR’s. USD to GBP – 1 USD to .7874 GBP’s.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share. The Company follows ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS ANTI DILUTIVE     December 31, 2023     December 31, 2022                 Warrants for Former Parent warrant holders     -       15,356   Convertible shares under notes payable     2,445,153       194,867   Warrants for noteholders and placement agent     221,084       720,000   Warrants for equity investors and placement agent     728,000       259,200   Shares to be issued to employees and directors     -       23,250   Shares reserved for issuance for preferred units of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     215,000       210,000   Convertible notes payable issued in acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     273,837       275,000   Shares reserved for contingent consideration for acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC     370,000       140,000   Total common stock equivalents     4,253,074       1,837,673       EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022   2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs include debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability and are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included as a component of interest expense. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the recognized debt liability which approximates the effective interest method.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.   ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)   The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of $31,815,804. The estimated fair value of this debt approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market interest rates.
Concentration of Credit Risks	Concentration of Credit Risks. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. In regard to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as well as general economic conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. On December 31, 2023, amount due from one customer totaled approximately 21% of accounts receivable.
Leases	Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the balance sheet. As of April 26, 2022, the date the Company assumed the lease, the operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability amounted to $98,736 with no cumulative-effect adjustment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as modified by FASB ASU No. 2019-10 and other subsequently issued related ASUs. The amendments in this Update affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2023 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did change how the allowance for credit losses is determined.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting. The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include inventory management solutions and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. Therefore, the Company only identifies two reportable operating segments.
