1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.

Description of Business. Lendway, Inc. (“the Company”) is a specialty agricultural (“ag”) company focused on making and managing its ag investments in the United States (“U.S.”) and internationally. On February 22, 2024, the Company, through its majority-owned U.S. subsidiary Tulp 24.1, LLC (“Tulp 24.1”), acquired Bloomia B.V. (“Bloomia”). Subsequent to the purchase of Bloomia, the Company’s primary operations will be that of Bloomia. Bloomia is a significant producer of fresh cut tulips in the U.S. with a presence in the Netherlands and South Africa. As part of the consideration for the business combination, the Company issued units of Tulp 24.1 to the continuing CEO of Bloomia, which amounted to 18.6% and is presented as noncontrolling interest in these consolidated financial statements. The remaining 81.4% equity interest of Tulp 24.1 is owned by the Company and the Company is and maintains control of Tulp 24.1 as its sole managing member. The tulip sales business tends to be seasonal with first and second quarter being the strongest sales season. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion.

The Company had previously planned to also develop a non-bank lending business via its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmland Credit, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Promptly after receiving a notice of resignation from the Company’s then-serving Chief Executive Officer in June 2024, our Board of Directors reexamined the Company’s strategic position and prospects. Primarily because the departing Chief Executive Officer represented nearly all of the Company’s knowledge and expertise relating to the purchase of existing loans and/or origination and funding of new loans, the Company has determined to focus solely on the ag business. Because the non-bank lending business remained in development, this change is not expected to have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial results.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include all wholly and majority owned subsidiaries of the Company. The operations of Bloomia are included since the date of acquisition. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, does not consolidate, but exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in equity method investments within the consolidated balance sheets. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 contained in the previous Form 10-K; however, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. Reclassifications had no material effect on prior year net income, net income (loss) per share, or stockholders’ equity.

On August 3, 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and certain liabilities relating to the Company’s legacy business of providing in-store advertising solutions (the “In-Store Marketing Business”). The operations of the In-Store Marketing Business are presented as discontinued operations. All prior periods presented have been restated to present the In-Store Marketing Business as discontinued operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires public companies to expand their income tax disclosures with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes and requires greater detail about significant reconciling items in the reconciliation. Additionally, the amendment requires disaggregated information pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued and allows for either a prospective or retrospective approach on adoption. The Company will not early adopt and is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The amendments in this update require disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the statement of operations; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 1, 2024. The Company determined it had one segment that is reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) due to the Company having only one product, tulips, with over 95% of sales derived in the U.S. The CODM consists of the Company’s executive team, including the CEOs, CFO and the CEO of Bloomia.
