The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in "Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under "Forward-Looking Statements," above.





Organizational Overview



Together with our wholly owned crew management subsidiaries, Elvictor is a crewing and crew management company responsible for sourcing, recruitment, selection, deployment, scheduling, training, and on-going management of seafarers. Our services also include administrative functions related to crew management services, including payroll services, travel arrangements, and verifying the insurance coverage information of all onboarded seafarers. Our Company benefits from over 65 years of combined experience in various value adding activities of the shipping sector such as ship management, technical management, ship agency, crewing and crew management of Mr. Stavros Galanakis and Mr. Konstantinos Galanakis.

Through the crew management platform developed by our affiliate, Seatrix, our personnel can collaborate with many different cultures in many different time zones with ever rising complexities, presenting a uniform service level to our principals, regardless of the point of origin of the crew. This innovation allows us to hire junior operators, who after a short training procedure are able to serve our principals with high quality standards, helping Elvictor be cost effective while maintaining the highest possible service level.

We currently manage over 2,500 seafarers of seven different nationalities who are aboard seven different ship types. On any one day, we manage over 250 seafarers traveling worldwide while processing over 500 multilingual applicants daily, supporting our clients.

The Company intends to expand the services it offers by also providing ship management services. In furtherance thereof, we acquired Ultra Shipmanagement from Mr. Stavros Galanakis and Mr. Konstantinos Galanakis, which has received its Det Norske Veritas AS approved Interim Document of Compliance provided under the authority granted by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and specialized personnel has also been employed by the Company. The Interim Document of Compliance is the license required for a ship management company to start providing its services.





Results of Operations


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor's understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.





                                       7





Basis of Presentation



The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars, unless indicated otherwise. The Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate and not misleading. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the financial statements.





Principles of Consolidation



The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Elvictor Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of controlled subsidiaries for the year then ended. Elvictor Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.





Accounting Basis


The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.





Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.





Accounts Receivable


For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has operations of crew manning and management and has accounts receivable due from its customers in the shipping industry. Contracts receivable from crew manning in the shipping industry are based on contracted prices. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer and existing economic conditions. Normal contracts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice, normally at the month's end. Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent and they are included in the provision for doubtful accounts. There is no interest charged on past due accounts.

The Company does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.





                                       8




Beneficial Conversion Features

The Company issued convertible bonds that resulted in a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is below the per share fair value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible. The holder realizes a benefit to the extent of the price difference and the issuer of the convertible instrument realizes a cost based on the theory that the intrinsic value of the price difference represents an additional financing cost. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the convertible notes and the embedded derivative liability.





Income Taxes


Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.





Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606 upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is disclosed separately from other sources of revenue. ASC 606 includes guidance on when revenue should be recognized on a Gross (Principal) or Net (Agent) basis. ASC 6060 includes guidance.

Most of the Company's revenues are recognized primarily under long-term contracts, including those for which revenues are based on either a fixed price, or cost-plus-fee basis, and primarily as performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue from crew manning services where Elvictor acts as a principle is recognized as gross revenue and when acting as an agent, revenue is recognized as net revenue in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For all fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period. The accounting treatment for the reporting of revenues may vary materially between whether the revenue is reported on a Principal (Gross) or an Agent (Net) basis.

The measurement and recognition of stock - based compensation expense is based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and for non-employee equity transactions as per ASC 718 rules.

For transactions in which we obtain certain services of employees, directors, and consultants in exchange for an award of equity instruments, we measure the cost of the services based on the grant date fair value of the award. We recognize the cost over the vesting period

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Subsequent Events


On January 19, 2022, the Company issued 7,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to Seatrix Software Production Single Member S.A., a company owned and controlled by Mr. Konstantinos Galanakis, pursuant to the Software License Agreement signed on November 15, 2021 for the exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Licensor's artificial intelligence software in connection with the managing of shipping crews.

On January 19, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 900,000 shares of Common Stock to certain directors and former directors for past services provided to the Company.





Plan of Operations



In order to meet business goals, we must (a) execute effectively our current business of crew management; and (b) continue to focus on new business development in order to acquire new agreements.

In order to raise sufficient funds to proceed with the implementation of our business plan, we may have to find alternative sources of funds, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from third parties (such as banks or other institutional lenders). Equity financing could result in additional dilution to then existing shareholders. If we are unable to meet our needs for cash from either the money that we raise from private placements, or possible alternative sources, then we may be unable to continue to maintain, develop or expand our operations.

Beginning in September 2020, the Company has shifted all of its efforts to our shipping crew management business, assuming contracts with clients. This procedure continued throughout the year 2021. As a result, we were able to earn $466,568 for the year ended December 31, 2020 while for the year ended December 31, 2021 we increased our revenues to $2,387,020. We believe consistent growth in our shipping crew management operations is key to the success of our Company.

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into an exclusive Software License Agreement with Seatrix Software Production Single Member S.A. in order to have the rights to use crew software that facilitates our operations. Through this agreement we are entitled to use the crew management platform and our personnel can collaborate with many different cultures in many different time zones with ever rising complexities, presenting a uniform service level to our principals regardless of the point of origin of the crew.





Results of Operations



Revenues


For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we generated $2,387,020 and $466,568 in revenues, respectively, representing an increase in revenue of $1,920,456 between the two years, or approximately 412%. The increase in revenues is due to continued onboarding of new crew management clients. We expect continued growth in the first quarter of 2022 and in the year 2022 as we continue to expand our client base. In addition, we acquired Ultra Shipmanagement in the Marshall Islands, which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, to begin ship management, increase revenues and adding another layer to our vertical service line.





Operating Expenses


For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we incurred $1,420,841 and $457,875 in operating expenses, respectively, representing an increase in operating expenses between the two periods of $962,929, or approximately 210%. The increase in operating expenses in 2021 is due to the launching of our shipping crew management services in September 2020 and increased the number of our employees, some of which employees are performing functions previously performed by third party professionals (reducing the professional fees). For the year ended December 31, 2021, salaries totaled $720,192, as compared to $59,931 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $660,261, or approximately 1,100%.





Net Loss and Gross Profit


For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $43,164,740 and $449,057, respectively, representing an increase in the net loss of $42,715,683 between the two periods, or approximately 950%. This increase is due to the $43,147,786 loss recognition resulting from the non-cash conversion of the preferred shares outstanding to common shares despite the fact that the gross profit increased to $1,367,249 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $97,733 for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.





                                       10




Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital surplus during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $432,130 compared to the deficit of $(128,071) for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities.

Cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $172,534 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $302,116 used in operating activities during the December 31, 2020. This decrease was directly attributable to the decrease in the net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, year over year.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $12,877, for the purchase of office equipment, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $150,133 for the year ended December 31, 2021, deriving mainly from the sale of common stock and $621,560 for the year ended December 31, 2020, mainly from the sale of convertible notes and Common Stock.





Cash Requirements



We require additional capital to implement our business development and fund our operations.

Since the crew management business started running, we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our business through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing along with the revenues that can support the Company. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 our stockholders.





Contractual Obligations


As of January 1, 2022, our obligations and commitments to make future payments under a lease agreement that the Company pays on behalf of its subsidiary, Ultra Shipmanagement, is $13,644 for the years of 2022 and 2023, and $10,233 will be due by the year 2024.





Outlook


The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected both our and our clients' operations. During the pandemic there were cases where crew was likely to be unable to travel to join a vessel or be repatriated following the completion of their contract due to travel restrictions creating several challenges in our operations. Additionally, specialized staff such as inspectors were often restricted from accessing vessels and thus conducting the legally required inspections (safety, environmental, training, etc.), supplies was often difficult to reach the vessels and support from head offices could be of lower quality since a large part of the staff was working remotely. The Company was able to continue to operate with minor interruptions although the vast majority of our staff worked remotely from the beginning of the pandemic. However, in the future similar epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks may impact our business due to closures or restrictions requested or mandated by governmental authorities, disruption to supply chains and workforce, reduction of demand for our services, credit losses when customers and other counterparties fail to satisfy their obligations to us, among other factors.





                                       11




The shipping industry and especially the crew management segments will likely continue to face increasing pressures, further due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, as well as due to the conflict in Ukraine. According to the International Chamber of Shipping (the "ICS"), which represents approximately 80% of the worlds' merchant fleet, Ukrainian and Russian seafarers make up 14.5% of the global shipping workforce, with 198,123 Russian seafarers and 76,442 Ukrainians.

As ICS secretary general Guy Platten said: "The conflict in Ukraine is having a significant impact upon the safety and security of seafarers and shipping in the area. … As with COVID, seafarers are being exposed to issues not of their making. Multiple ships have been hit by munitions, seafarers have been killed and injured and seafarers of all nationalities are trapped on ships berthed in ports. It is of the utmost urgency that their evacuation from these areas of threat should be ensured by those States with the power to do so. The impact upon innocent seafarers and their families cannot be underestimated."

The management team of Elvictor is assessing alternative plans to mitigate potential challenges arising from the ongoing war in the Ukraine, among other things.

The demand for our services depends on the demand for maritime shipping services which are subject to normal economic cycles affecting the general economy including the effect of increased inflation. Inflationary pressures may result to important increases to our operating costs that we may not be able to fully transfer to our clients thus affecting our profitability. Additionally, increase in operating costs of our clients may lead to delays in payments for our services and accumulation of bad debt, although as a Company we closely monitor their credit behavior to avoid such incidents. Additionally, significant deteriorations of economic conditions over a prolonged period could produce a material adverse effect on the demand for our services.
