NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Statements made in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements, and should be evaluated as such. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management and involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions, which are subject to change at any time at our discretion. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business plan and strategies. Forward-looking statements include our assessment, from time to time of our competitive position, the industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects and events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, epidemics or pandemics. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “forecast,” “estimates,” “expects,” “suggest,” “hopes,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “targets,” “projects,” “projections,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.

 

Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or will be achieved or accomplished. The following include some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:

 

 

·

current economic conditions, including consumer spending levels and the price elasticity of our products;

 

 

 

 

·

the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to successfully manage social, political, economic legal and other conditions affecting our operations and our supply chain sources, such as political instability and acts of war or terrorism, natural disasters, disruption of markets, operational disruptions, changes in import or export laws, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

 

 

 

·

the impact of the loss of one or more of our suppliers of finished goods or raw materials;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to manage our inventory effectively and reduce inventory reserves;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to optimize our global supply chain;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to distribute our products effectively through our ecommerce store and through our growing wholesale distribution channel;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;

 

 

 

 

·

the impact of any inadequacy, interruption or failure with respect to our information technology or any data security breach;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to protect our reputation and the reputation and images of our licensed and any future proprietary brand(s);

 

 

 

 

·

unanticipated changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or a change in our ability to realize deferred tax benefits;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to comply with environmental and other laws and regulations;

 

 

·

changes in our relationship with our employees and costs and adverse publicity from violations of labor or environmental laws by us or our suppliers;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to attract and retain key personnel; and

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to integrate and grow potential acquisitions successfully.

 

The reader should understand that the uncertainties and other factors listed above or identified elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report are not a comprehensive list of all the uncertainties and other factors that may affect forward-looking statements. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or the list of uncertainties and other factors that could affect those statements. You should, however, consult further disclosures and risk factors we include in Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports filed on Form 8-K.

MGO GLOBAL INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

The Messi Store/MGOTeam1 LLC

 

MGO Global, Inc. (“MGO”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was formed on December 6, 2021, operating through its subsidiary, MGOTEAM 1 LLC, which designs, manufactures, licenses, distributes, advertises and sells a range of products under the soccer legend Lionel (Leo) Messi brand, “The Messi Brand.” The Messi Brand is a premium lifestyle brand with a sporty edge; products are primarily marketed and sold on the Company’s ecommerce site, The Messi Store, found at www.themessistore.com.

 

On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with Leo Messi Management SL (“LMM”). LMM granted the Company a worldwide non-exclusive license in order to use Leo Messi’s trademarks with the purpose of developing, manufacturing, trading and promoting The Messi Brand products.

 

On November 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with LMM to have the worldwide license to use Leo Messi’s trademarks for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing and promoting The Messi Brand products. The Company is to pay LMM an amount of minimum guaranteed royalties totaling Four Million Euros (4,000,000 €), net of taxes with the last payment due on November 15, 2024.

 

Stand Flagpoles/Americana Liberty, LLC

 

On March 13, 2023, we obtained a royalty-free, worldwide and exclusive license (the “License”) to the use of certain assets of Stand Co., LLC (“Stand”) for all purposes in exchange for payment of $1.00 by the Company. The License was entered into in connection with a potential acquisition by the Company of the assets related to the License. The term of the License commenced on March 15, 2023 and was originally set to expire on the earlier of: 1) May 12, 2023, or 2) the date when the Company and Stand signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the assets. Licensed assets include all rights to all stock keeping units (“SKU”) of Stand sold under the names: “Roosevelt Premium 25 foot Telescoping Flag Pole Kit,” “20 Foot Telescoping Flag Pole Kit” and “LED Solar Flag Pole Light;” any intellectual property and other intangible property related to SKUs, including but not limited to all rights to the brand name “Stand Flagpoles,” domain and website standflagpoles.com, the Meta pages associated with the Stand Flagpoles brand name (in Facebook and Instagram); all manufacturer, distributor and customer contracts and relationships for SKUs; marketing materials; any commercialization rights; domain and administrative access to Stand’s Shopify account, Facebook assets & accounts; all historical digital and non-digital assets; and customer database since inception.

 

In support of our new flagpole business, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Americana Liberty, LLC (“Americana Liberty”), on March 13, 2023, which was created to advertise and sell the licensed line of Stand Flagpoles and other related products, along with an expanding line of patriotic-themed products to be developed and marketed to consumers through our Americana Liberty subsidiary.

 

On May 11, 2023, we extended the License to December 31, 2023 in exchange for a 12-month consulting agreement with Jason Harward (the “Consultant”), the owner of Stand Co and nephew of Matt Harward, our former Chief Marketing Officer of MGO. The Consultant shall furnish the Company with business continuity and consulting services. The services to be performed by the Consultant under this agreement shall be requested in writing and agreed upon by both parties and shall be substantially similar to the following: providing general advice and counsel regarding establishment of systems and processes for direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) and ecommerce sales and operations; provide subject matter and product-level expertise in the area of flag-poles, flags and related products; provide consultation regarding product sourcing and distribution; and assist with the establishment, operation, optimization and maintenance of DTC and ecommerce platforms on behalf of the Company. Consultant will be compensated for services through a combination of cash or immediately available funds and restricted stock units or shares of the Company’s stock as follows: (1) cash or immediately available funds in the amount of $150,000 payable on September 30, 2023; (2) cash or immediately available funds in the amount of $200,000 payable no later than January 10, 2024, upon satisfactory performance of the consultant’s obligations under the agreement; (3) 150,000 restricted stock units of the Company issuable on May 11, 2023 and subject to vesting in equal quarterly installments throughout the term of the agreement commencing on January 31, 2024.  On September 1, 2023, a payment of $150,000 in cash was made to the Consultant.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023, or the Annual Report. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

MGOTEAM 1, LLC (“MGO LLC”) was formed on October 11, 2018, and the Company entered into a Rollover Agreement by and among MGO LLC and members of MGO LLC on December 6, 2021. All of the members of MGO LLC, except for one member who owns a 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC, exchanged all of their membership interests in MGO LLC for 8,818,000 shares of MGO’s common stock. The sole MGO LLC member which did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC to MGO Global Inc. as of December 6, 2021 was due to the fact that the Company had exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member through the third quarter of 2023. However, the sole member has recently made contact with the Company and management is now in active discussions with him to determine a go-forward relationship.

 

We account for the remaining minority interest in MGO LLC as non-controlling interest. Both the Company and MGO LLC were under common control, the series of contractual arrangements between the Company and MGO LLC on December 6, 2021 constituted a reorganization under common control and are required to be retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements at their historical amounts. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods. This includes a retrospective presentation for all equity related disclosures, including issued shares and earnings per share, which have been revised to reflect the effects of the reorganization in accordance with ASC 250 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. ASC 250 requires that a change in the reporting entity from reorganization entities under common control, be retrospectively applied to the financials statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the change in reporting entity of the transaction occurred.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The equity method of accounting is used for joint ventures and investments in Shanghai Celebrity International Trading Co., Ltd (“SCIT”), which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,205,141 and $0 in excess of the FDIC limit, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customers who are deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed, and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no allowance for accounts receivable.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated net realizable value.

 

Prepaid Royalty Expense

 

The Company pays 500,000€ every five months in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Trademark License Agreement payment schedule with LMM signed on November 20, 2021. The Company records each installment payment as prepaid expense, and it is amortized over the license period granted by LMM. See Note 8.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment are calculated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or lease terms generally as follows:

Revenue Recognition

 

The Messi Store/MGOTEAM 1, LLC

 

The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of The Messi Brand products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through direct wholesale or online sales through our website www.themessistore.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred, based on the terms of sale. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions depend on the country of sale or agreement with the customer, and payment is generally required within 30 days or less of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer. Payment is due at the time of sale for direct wholesale and online transactions.

Table of Contents

 

We sold The Messi Brand products direct to consumers through The Messi Store ecommerce website we operate and through The Messi Store mobile app; and we sold products to wholesale customers.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $887,314 directly to consumers via our website and $44,526 to wholesale and other customers. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $189,929 directly to consumers via our website and $146,174 to wholesale and other customers.

  

Stand Flagpoles/Americana Liberty, LLC

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of Stand Flagpoles products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers through online sales through our website www.standflagpoles.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment is due at the time of sale for online transactions.

 

One hundred percent of revenues stemming from sales of Stand Flagpoles products occurred direct to consumers through the standflagpoles.com ecommerce website. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $2,823,601 directly to consumers via our website.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $0, due to the fact that we didn’t license Stand Flagpoles until the first quarter of 2023.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

One member did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest from MGO LLC to MGO as of December 6, 2021 after the Company exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member. In October 2023, the member has initiated communication and management will be addressing the on-going and future relationship with this member. According to ASC 810-10-45-22 through 810-10-45-24, the carrying amount of the NCI will be adjusted to reflect the change in the NCI’s ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in equity/APIC and attributed to the equity holders of the parent in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. The Company accounted for this portion of shares as non-controlling interest as of December 6, 2021 for $12,598. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(62,800) and $(72,618) from the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(185,556) and $(222,131) from the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency

 

For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as finance charges.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company has two reportable segments: 1) The Messi Store, which sells a range of products under The Messi Brand; and 2) Stand Flagpoles, which sells a range of residential flagpoles and related products direct to consumers. MGO Digital exists for the purpose of testing, developing and incubating new brand concepts. As of September 30, 2023, the activity was immaterial and therefore not separately segmented out. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance and obtains financial information, being the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flow, about the Company as a whole.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law. For deferred tax assets, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of such assets. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets when evidence suggests it is unlikely that the assets will be fully realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not threshold is recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not threshold is derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company classifies potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as income tax expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, rather than the “incurred loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and did have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for the Company after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect the adoption will have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $2,421,371. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,177,519, inclusive of $931,961 for royalty expenses paid to LMM and $6,663,310 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including higher selling and digital marketing costs, payroll expenses, third-party logistics services, professional fees and rent expense for office space. This compared to a loss from operations of $1,969,460, inclusive of $987,412 for royalty payments to LMM and $1,240,593 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including payroll expenses, third-party logistics services and general corporate overhead. In consideration of completing our IPO in January 2023, from which we raised gross proceeds of $8,625,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, we believe the cash on hand, in connection with cash generated from future revenue, may not be sufficient to sustain continued operating losses.

 

The Company is continually evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, equity financing, issuing, or restructuring debt, entering into other financing arrangements, and restructuring operations to increase revenues and decrease expenses. The Company may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed or obtain additional liquidity under acceptable terms, if at all. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Engagement of Strategic Marketing Advisor

 

On October 9, 2023, MGO engaged an independent strategic marketing advisor (“Advisor”) to provide marketing management services and general business advisory services to the Company. In consideration of the Advisor’s performance of contracted services, the Advisor is entitled to receive in aggregate a total of 20,000 shares of restricted common stock, issuable in pro-rated monthly installments of restricted shares commencing on October 9, 2023 and ending on February 9, 2024.

 

Deficiency Notice from Nasdaq

 

On October 19, 2023, MGO Global, Inc. (the "Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq”) therein stating that for the 30 consecutive business day period between September 7, 2023 through October 18, 2023, the Common Stock of the Company had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 16, 2024 (the "Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by April 16, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

If the Company cannot regain compliance during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, the common stock of the Company will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MGOL.” The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Not new to building successful global lifestyle brands, our accomplished leadership team encompasses decades of experience in fashion design, marketing, technology, corporate finance and branding. Our design team continues to push innovation and evolution of the product cycle without compromising quality and design integrity. We believe that our management’s executive-level expertise in marketing technology will empower MGO to play an important role in defining the next generation of Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) digital commerce. Our finance and accounting team is tasked with ensuring that responsible decision making is informed by our commitment to maintaining economic stability and focus on strategic growth.

 

With a deep understanding of analytics, personality-driven trust and algorithm-driven distribution, our marketing team is uniquely equipped to leverage emerging technologies to build brands efficiently and cost-effectively with a small core team of specialists. Through our end-to-end, scalable brand-building platform, backed by robust consumer behavioral data, we are intent on building digitally native brands that thrive in the modern DTC economy.

 

In 2018, MGO signed a global licensing agreement with soccer player Lionel Messi and created “The Messi Brand” - a line of casual wear and accessories inspired by his trend-setting style and offered on The Messi Store. The brand’s design focus is on accessibility and ease, much like Messi’s personal style. While this was previously the only asset in our portfolio through early 2023, our business model is centered on strategic expansion through collaborations, licensing, acquisitions and organic development. We intend to drive the commercial value of each brand within our portfolio through our own DTC platform methodologies, ensuring that each brand maintains its own unique identity while remaining thoughtfully aligned with the values of our customers.

 

In March 2023, MGO obtained a royalty-free, worldwide and exclusive license to the assets of Stand CO, LLC, a DTC digitally native brand which offers a line of high quality, residential flagpoles, American flags, solar flagpole light kits, flagpole finials, patriotic-themed apparel and other products. The Company’s management believes that the addition of the Stand Flagpoles brand to MGO’s brand portfolio brings the Company immediate revenue generation and the opportunity to further demonstrate the benefits of its end-to-end, data-driven brand-building platform to help accelerate and optimize long-term growth. In late March 2023, the Company formed Americana Liberty, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary focused exclusively on supporting the new DTC flagpole and related product line.

 

Guided by the Company’s expertise and fueled by our team’s passion to ultimately grow MGO into a major lifestyle brand portfolio company and its brands into universally recognized symbols of excellence, MGO is committed to exceeding our partners’ and customers’ expectations by creating and delivering innovative, premium lifestyle consumer products and earning lifetime fidelity to our DTC brands through high-touch customer engagement, service and attention.

Results of Operations for Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 as Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

Revenues

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, revenues climbed 948% to $1,469,802, up from $140,191 for the comparable three-month period in 2022. Revenues generated from sales of The Messi Brand apparel, accessories and homewares through our MGOTEAM1, LLC subsidiary climbed 197% to $415,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to $140,191 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Revenues from our Stand Flagpoles business, operated through our Americana Liberty subsidiary, totaled $1,054,161 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which compared to $0 for the same three months in 2022, given that we did not license Stand Flagpoles until March of 2023.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, total sales increased 1017% to $3,755,441 from $336,103, respectively. Revenue contribution from The Messi Brand represented $931,840 for the first nine months of 2023, which is up from revenues of $336,103 reported for the comparable nine-month period last year. Sales stemming from sales of Stand Flagpoles products totaled $2,822,601 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0 in the prior year due to the aforementioned timing of the licensing of Stand Flagpoles, which occurred in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 1882% to $580,560 compared to cost of goods sold of $29,292 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This resulted in a gross profit of $889,242 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $110,899 for the same three-month period in 2022. The 702% increase in gross profit was attributable to the expansion and diversity of products sold in the second quarter of 2023, which included the addition of our new flagpole and related products licensed from Stand Co. in March 2023.

 

For the reasons mentioned, cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 rose 1625% to $1,337,699 as compared to cost of goods sold of $77,558 reported for the same nine-month period in the previous year. Gross profit also increased, rising 835% to $2,417,752 from $258,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, total operating expenses rose 328% to $3,438,519 as compared to total operating expenses of $802,769 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to a 537% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Likewise, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total operating expenses increased 241% to $7,595,271 compared to total operating expenses of $2,228,005 reported for the same nine-month period in 2022.

 

The overall increase in expenses for the first nine months of 2023 was largely attributable to higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses associated with the Company’s workforce expansion, amounting to $1,935,521 compared to $689,209 in the first nine months of 2022; as well as increased sales and marketing expenses amounting to $3,105,116 in the nine months of 2023 compared to $545,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in SG&A was also impacted by a stock compensation expense of $673,624, which compared to $0 in the prior year. The Company also incurred costs associated with becoming a publicly traded company in January 2023, which totaled $521,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Other (Income) Expenses

 

Total other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $2,836 compared to total other expenses of $8,079 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement was primarily due to the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars and recorded as finance charges booked in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total other income was $(7,076), which compared to total other expenses of $111,732 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The considerable reduction in total other expenses was largely attributable to higher finance charges in the 2022 nine-month period for the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars offset by higher income booked for a gain on settlement of debt and accounting for interest income of $40,472 recorded in the nine-month reporting period ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Loss

 

After factoring the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $62,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, net loss increased 307% to $2,552,113, or $0.17 loss per share; as compared to a net loss after factoring the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $72,618, of $627,331, or $0.06 loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net loss increased 178% to $5,170,443, or $0.36 loss per share after accounting for a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $185,556. This compared to a net loss of $1,859,061, or $0.17 loss per share, for the first nine months of 2022 after factoring a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $222,131.

 

Cash Flows

 

As of September 30, 2023, cash on hand was $1,721,050, as compared to $113,952 as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 1410%. The increase was attributable to completion of the Company’s Initial Public Offering on January 18, 2023, resulting in net proceeds of $7,239,855, which is net of offering expenses of $1,385,145. Until such time that the Company fully implements its growth strategy, it expects to continue generating operating losses in the foreseeable future, primarily due to higher corporate overhead, higher marketing and inventory expenses and the costs associated with being a public company.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operations was $6,396,563, an increase of 443%, as compared to cash used of $1,178,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash used in operations during the first nine months of 2023 was principally due to higher prepaid expenses and inventory expenses, as well as higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the accounting for accrued payroll and accounts payable to members of our senior leadership team.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $179,853, which compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 100% increase was due to purchases of office equipment, furniture, technological tools and other necessities to equip the Company’s corporate office and achieve greater efficiencies in our daily business operations.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $8,183,514, an increase of 637% as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,110,669 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was directly related to the completion of the Company’s IPO in January 2023 offset by repayment of loans payable to related and non-related parties.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $2,421,371. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,177,519, inclusive of $931,961 for royalty expenses paid to LMM and $6,663,310 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including higher selling and digital marketing costs, payroll expenses, third-party logistics services, professional fees and rent expense for office space. This compared to a loss from operations of $1,969,460, inclusive of $987,412 for royalty payments to LMM and $1,240,593 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including payroll expenses, third-party logistics services and general corporate overhead. In consideration of completing our IPO in January 2023, from which we raised gross proceeds of $8,625,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, we believe the cash on hand, in connection with cash generated from revenue, may not be sufficient to sustain continued operating losses.

If the Company is unable to generate significant sales growth in the near term and raise additional capital, there is a risk that the Company could default on additional obligations; and could be required to discontinue or significantly reduce the scope of its operations if no other means of financing operations are available. Moreover, any additional equity financing that we obtain may dilute the ownership held by our existing shareholders. The economic dilution to our shareholders will be significant if our stock price does not materially increase, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As such, the aforementioned factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Use of 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 (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our most critical estimates include those related to revenue recognition, inventories and reserves for excess and obsolescence, accounting for stock-based awards, and income taxes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to our existing critical accounting policies which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

On September 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Inflation

 

Over the past 18 months, inflation has adversely affected our business, financial condition, and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, and such affects will be further exacerbated if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices, we charge our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates, and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, cost increases. In addition, poor economic and market conditions, including a potential recession, may negatively impact market sentiment, decreasing the demand for sportswear and outerwear, which would adversely affect our operating income and results of operations. If we are unable to take effective measures in a timely manner to mitigate the impact of inflation, as well as a potential recession, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Climate Change

 

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

The Messi Store/MGOTeam1 LLC

 

MGO Global, Inc. (“MGO”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was formed on December 6, 2021, operating through its subsidiary, MGOTEAM 1 LLC, which designs, manufactures, licenses, distributes, advertises and sells a range of products under the soccer legend Lionel (Leo) Messi brand, “The Messi Brand.” The Messi Brand is a premium lifestyle brand with a sporty edge; products are primarily marketed and sold on the Company’s ecommerce site, The Messi Store, found at www.themessistore.com.

 

On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with Leo Messi Management SL (“LMM”). LMM granted the Company a worldwide non-exclusive license in order to use Leo Messi’s trademarks with the purpose of developing, manufacturing, trading and promoting The Messi Brand products.

 

On November 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with LMM to have the worldwide license to use Leo Messi’s trademarks for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing and promoting The Messi Brand products. The Company is to pay LMM an amount of minimum guaranteed royalties totaling Four Million Euros (4,000,000 €), net of taxes with the last payment due on November 15, 2024.

 

Stand Flagpoles/Americana Liberty, LLC

 

On March 13, 2023, we obtained a royalty-free, worldwide and exclusive license (the “License”) to the use of certain assets of Stand Co., LLC (“Stand”) for all purposes in exchange for payment of $1.00 by the Company. The License was entered into in connection with a potential acquisition by the Company of the assets related to the License. The term of the License commenced on March 15, 2023 and was originally set to expire on the earlier of: 1) May 12, 2023, or 2) the date when the Company and Stand signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the assets. Licensed assets include all rights to all stock keeping units (“SKU”) of Stand sold under the names: “Roosevelt Premium 25 foot Telescoping Flag Pole Kit,” “20 Foot Telescoping Flag Pole Kit” and “LED Solar Flag Pole Light;” any intellectual property and other intangible property related to SKUs, including but not limited to all rights to the brand name “Stand Flagpoles,” domain and website standflagpoles.com, the Meta pages associated with the Stand Flagpoles brand name (in Facebook and Instagram); all manufacturer, distributor and customer contracts and relationships for SKUs; marketing materials; any commercialization rights; domain and administrative access to Stand’s Shopify account, Facebook assets & accounts; all historical digital and non-digital assets; and customer database since inception.

 

In support of our new flagpole business, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Americana Liberty, LLC (“Americana Liberty”), on March 13, 2023, which was created to advertise and sell the licensed line of Stand Flagpoles and other related products, along with an expanding line of patriotic-themed products to be developed and marketed to consumers through our Americana Liberty subsidiary.

 

On May 11, 2023, we extended the License to December 31, 2023 in exchange for a 12-month consulting agreement with Jason Harward (the “Consultant”), the owner of Stand Co and nephew of Matt Harward, our former Chief Marketing Officer of MGO. The Consultant shall furnish the Company with business continuity and consulting services. The services to be performed by the Consultant under this agreement shall be requested in writing and agreed upon by both parties and shall be substantially similar to the following: providing general advice and counsel regarding establishment of systems and processes for direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) and ecommerce sales and operations; provide subject matter and product-level expertise in the area of flag-poles, flags and related products; provide consultation regarding product sourcing and distribution; and assist with the establishment, operation, optimization and maintenance of DTC and ecommerce platforms on behalf of the Company. Consultant will be compensated for services through a combination of cash or immediately available funds and restricted stock units or shares of the Company’s stock as follows: (1) cash or immediately available funds in the amount of $150,000 payable on September 30, 2023; (2) cash or immediately available funds in the amount of $200,000 payable no later than January 10, 2024, upon satisfactory performance of the consultant’s obligations under the agreement; (3) 150,000 restricted stock units of the Company issuable on May 11, 2023 and subject to vesting in equal quarterly installments throughout the term of the agreement commencing on January 31, 2024.  On September 1, 2023, a payment of $150,000 in cash was made to the Consultant.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023, or the Annual Report. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

MGOTEAM 1, LLC (“MGO LLC”) was formed on October 11, 2018, and the Company entered into a Rollover Agreement by and among MGO LLC and members of MGO LLC on December 6, 2021. All of the members of MGO LLC, except for one member who owns a 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC, exchanged all of their membership interests in MGO LLC for 8,818,000 shares of MGO’s common stock. The sole MGO LLC member which did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC to MGO Global Inc. as of December 6, 2021 was due to the fact that the Company had exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member through the third quarter of 2023. However, the sole member has recently made contact with the Company and management is now in active discussions with him to determine a go-forward relationship.

 

We account for the remaining minority interest in MGO LLC as non-controlling interest. Both the Company and MGO LLC were under common control, the series of contractual arrangements between the Company and MGO LLC on December 6, 2021 constituted a reorganization under common control and are required to be retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements at their historical amounts. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods. This includes a retrospective presentation for all equity related disclosures, including issued shares and earnings per share, which have been revised to reflect the effects of the reorganization in accordance with ASC 250 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. ASC 250 requires that a change in the reporting entity from reorganization entities under common control, be retrospectively applied to the financials statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the change in reporting entity of the transaction occurred.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The equity method of accounting is used for joint ventures and investments in Shanghai Celebrity International Trading Co., Ltd (“SCIT”), which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,205,141 and $0 in excess of the FDIC limit, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customers who are deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed, and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no allowance for accounts receivable.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated net realizable value.

 

Prepaid Royalty Expense

 

The Company pays 500,000€ every five months in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Trademark License Agreement payment schedule with LMM signed on November 20, 2021. The Company records each installment payment as prepaid expense, and it is amortized over the license period granted by LMM. See Note 8.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment are calculated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or lease terms generally as follows:

Revenue Recognition

 

The Messi Store/MGOTEAM 1, LLC

 

The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of The Messi Brand products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through direct wholesale or online sales through our website www.themessistore.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred, based on the terms of sale. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions depend on the country of sale or agreement with the customer, and payment is generally required within 30 days or less of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer. Payment is due at the time of sale for direct wholesale and online transactions.

We sold The Messi Brand products direct to consumers through The Messi Store ecommerce website we operate and through The Messi Store mobile app; and we sold products to wholesale customers.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $887,314 directly to consumers via our website and $44,526 to wholesale and other customers. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $189,929 directly to consumers via our website and $146,174 to wholesale and other customers.

  

Stand Flagpoles/Americana Liberty, LLC

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of Stand Flagpoles products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers through online sales through our website www.standflagpoles.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment is due at the time of sale for online transactions.

 

One hundred percent of revenues stemming from sales of Stand Flagpoles products occurred direct to consumers through the standflagpoles.com ecommerce website. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $2,823,601 directly to consumers via our website.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $0, due to the fact that we didn’t license Stand Flagpoles until the first quarter of 2023.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

One member did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest from MGO LLC to MGO as of December 6, 2021 after the Company exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member. In October 2023, the member has initiated communication and management will be addressing the on-going and future relationship with this member. According to ASC 810-10-45-22 through 810-10-45-24, the carrying amount of the NCI will be adjusted to reflect the change in the NCI’s ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in equity/APIC and attributed to the equity holders of the parent in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. The Company accounted for this portion of shares as non-controlling interest as of December 6, 2021 for $12,598. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(62,800) and $(72,618) from the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(185,556) and $(222,131) from the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency

 

For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as finance charges.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company has two reportable segments: 1) The Messi Store, which sells a range of products under The Messi Brand; and 2) Stand Flagpoles, which sells a range of residential flagpoles and related products direct to consumers. MGO Digital exists for the purpose of testing, developing and incubating new brand concepts. As of September 30, 2023, the activity was immaterial and therefore not separately segmented out. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance and obtains financial information, being the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flow, about the Company as a whole.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law. For deferred tax assets, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of such assets. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets when evidence suggests it is unlikely that the assets will be fully realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not threshold is recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not threshold is derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company classifies potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as income tax expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, rather than the “incurred loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and did have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for the Company after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect the adoption will have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $2,421,371. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,177,519, inclusive of $931,961 for royalty expenses paid to LMM and $6,663,310 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including higher selling and digital marketing costs, payroll expenses, third-party logistics services, professional fees and rent expense for office space. This compared to a loss from operations of $1,969,460, inclusive of $987,412 for royalty payments to LMM and $1,240,593 for selling, general and administrative expenses, including payroll expenses, third-party logistics services and general corporate overhead. In consideration of completing our IPO in January 2023, from which we raised gross proceeds of $8,625,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, we believe the cash on hand, in connection with cash generated from future revenue, may not be sufficient to sustain continued operating losses.

 

The Company is continually evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, equity financing, issuing, or restructuring debt, entering into other financing arrangements, and restructuring operations to increase revenues and decrease expenses. The Company may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed or obtain additional liquidity under acceptable terms, if at all. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Engagement of Strategic Marketing Advisor

 

On October 9, 2023, MGO engaged an independent strategic marketing advisor (“Advisor”) to provide marketing management services and general business advisory services to the Company. In consideration of the Advisor’s performance of contracted services, the Advisor is entitled to receive in aggregate a total of 20,000 shares of restricted common stock, issuable in pro-rated monthly installments of restricted shares commencing on October 9, 2023 and ending on February 9, 2024.

 

Deficiency Notice from Nasdaq

 

On October 19, 2023, MGO Global, Inc. (the "Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq”) therein stating that for the 30 consecutive business day period between September 7, 2023 through October 18, 2023, the Common Stock of the Company had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 16, 2024 (the "Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by April 16, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

If the Company cannot regain compliance during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, the common stock of the Company will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MGOL.” The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Sep. 30, 2023
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Basis Of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023, or the Annual Report. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

MGOTEAM 1, LLC (“MGO LLC”) was formed on October 11, 2018, and the Company entered into a Rollover Agreement by and among MGO LLC and members of MGO LLC on December 6, 2021. All of the members of MGO LLC, except for one member who owns a 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC, exchanged all of their membership interests in MGO LLC for 8,818,000 shares of MGO’s common stock. The sole MGO LLC member which did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest in MGO LLC to MGO Global Inc. as of December 6, 2021 was due to the fact that the Company had exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member through the third quarter of 2023. However, the sole member has recently made contact with the Company and management is now in active discussions with him to determine a go-forward relationship.

 

We account for the remaining minority interest in MGO LLC as non-controlling interest. Both the Company and MGO LLC were under common control, the series of contractual arrangements between the Company and MGO LLC on December 6, 2021 constituted a reorganization under common control and are required to be retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements at their historical amounts. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods. This includes a retrospective presentation for all equity related disclosures, including issued shares and earnings per share, which have been revised to reflect the effects of the reorganization in accordance with ASC 250 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. ASC 250 requires that a change in the reporting entity from reorganization entities under common control, be retrospectively applied to the financials statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the change in reporting entity of the transaction occurred.

Principles Of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The equity method of accounting is used for joint ventures and investments in Shanghai Celebrity International Trading Co., Ltd (“SCIT”), which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

Use Of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,205,141 and $0 in excess of the FDIC limit, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customers who are deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed, and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no allowance for accounts receivable.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated net realizable value.

Prepaid Royalty Expense

The Company pays 500,000€ every five months in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Trademark License Agreement payment schedule with LMM signed on November 20, 2021. The Company records each installment payment as prepaid expense, and it is amortized over the license period granted by LMM. See Note 8.

Property and Equipment, net

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment are calculated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or lease terms generally as follows:

Revenue Recognition The Messi Store/MGOTEAM 1, LLC

 

The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of The Messi Brand products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through direct wholesale or online sales through our website www.themessistore.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred, based on the terms of sale. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions depend on the country of sale or agreement with the customer, and payment is generally required within 30 days or less of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer. Payment is due at the time of sale for direct wholesale and online transactions.

We sold The Messi Brand products direct to consumers through The Messi Store ecommerce website we operate and through The Messi Store mobile app; and we sold products to wholesale customers.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $887,314 directly to consumers via our website and $44,526 to wholesale and other customers. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $189,929 directly to consumers via our website and $146,174 to wholesale and other customers.

  

Stand Flagpoles/Americana Liberty, LLC

 

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of Stand Flagpoles products comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers through online sales through our website www.standflagpoles.com. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control to the customer has occurred. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Control is transferred to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control transfers to online customers at the time upon shipment. The transactions price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment is due at the time of sale for online transactions.

 

One hundred percent of revenues stemming from sales of Stand Flagpoles products occurred direct to consumers through the standflagpoles.com ecommerce website. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $2,823,601 directly to consumers via our website.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $0, due to the fact that we didn’t license Stand Flagpoles until the first quarter of 2023.

Non-controlling interest

One member did not rollover his 11.82% membership interest from MGO LLC to MGO as of December 6, 2021 after the Company exhausted all reasonable means to locate and/or contact the member. In October 2023, the member has initiated communication and management will be addressing the on-going and future relationship with this member. According to ASC 810-10-45-22 through 810-10-45-24, the carrying amount of the NCI will be adjusted to reflect the change in the NCI’s ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in equity/APIC and attributed to the equity holders of the parent in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. The Company accounted for this portion of shares as non-controlling interest as of December 6, 2021 for $12,598. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(62,800) and $(72,618) from the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded non-controlling interest of $(185,556) and $(222,131) from the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Foreign currency

For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as finance charges.

Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments: 1) The Messi Store, which sells a range of products under The Messi Brand; and 2) Stand Flagpoles, which sells a range of residential flagpoles and related products direct to consumers. MGO Digital exists for the purpose of testing, developing and incubating new brand concepts. As of September 30, 2023, the activity was immaterial and therefore not separately segmented out. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance and obtains financial information, being the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flow, about the Company as a whole.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law. For deferred tax assets, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of such assets. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets when evidence suggests it is unlikely that the assets will be fully realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not threshold is recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not threshold is derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company classifies potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as income tax expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, rather than the “incurred loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and did have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for the Company after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect the adoption will have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
