2.We understand that Unique Logistics Holdings Limited (“ULHK”) is an affiliate of
Unique Logistics International, Inc. (“Unique Logistics”).It appears that Unique Logistics
and ULHK entities are under common control. Please tell us, and provide a detailed
analysis, to support how you evaluated and concluded that Unique Logistics’ February 21,
2023 acquisition of the share capital in the eight entities held by ULHK should not be
accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, as contemplated by
ASC 805-50, and that the transactions should instead be accounted for as business
combination by applying the acquisition method.
3.We note from your response to prior comment 4 that you believe you obtained control of
Unique-Vietnam and Unique-Taiwan in the February 21, 2023, acquisition. However, we
note that you have not yet closed on the Unique-Vietnam transaction and that you did not
close on the Unique-Taiwan acquisition until October 31, 2023. We further note from
your response that “ownership in Unique-Vietnam and Unique-Taiwan will officially
transfer to the acquirer, that is, Unique Logistics, from ULHK following approval of the
transfer by the applicable government authority.” Since the acquisition of these two
entities require regulatory approval, it appears that control transfers only when such
approval is obtained. Therefore, it does not appear appropriate to account for the
acquisition of these two entities on February 21, 2023, since you did not obtain ownership
of either of these entities on that date. Please revise your accounting and related
disclosures or provide us with a detailed explanation, with reference to specific accounting
literature, that to supports your accounting conclusion.
4.We note the information provided in response to prior comment 5. Please revise to include
this information within note 2 to comply with the disclosure requirements of ASC 805-10-
50-2(d) and ASC 805-10-50-2(h)(1). In addition, review the disclosure for discrepancy
regarding which consolidation models were applied. To this end, you indicate application
of two primary consolidation models. However, you also state that “We determined that
the Company obtained control of all the ULHK Entities treated as consolidated
subsidiaries by paying for the Purchased Shares in such ULHK Entities in cash and via the
issuance of promissory notes to ULHK on February 21, 2023, the closing date of the
ULHK Entities Acquisition, in accordance with the SPA under the voting interest
model.” Please clarify and revise the disclosures as appropriate.
5.Please address the following regarding your response to prior comment 6:
•We note the audit reports on the financial statements of the ULHK entities issued by
your independent accountants indicate that the audits were not conducted in
accordance with US GAAS or PCAOB Standards. Please obtain and file revised audit
