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., a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, and subsidiaries and/or where applicable, its management. 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 March 31, 2024, 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 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 as of 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 unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 may not be indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report.

 

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.
