 A.Fat Shark Acquisition

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with Greg French (“French”), the founder and sole shareholder of Fat Shark Holdings (“Fat Shark”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fat Shark and its subsidiaries.

The number of shares issuable was based on the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of our common stock for the 20 trading days ending May 7, 2021. Based on a VWAP of $4.0154, the Company issued 747,124 shares. In addition, the Company also agreed to issue 110,000 shares of common stock to a shareholder.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial and Other Information

There is no pro forma financial information for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 because all acquisitions had closed prior to the beginning of the reporting period. The following table presents pro forma results as if our acquisition of Teal had occurred on May 1, 2021:

       
  Nine months ended January 31, 2022
  Red Cat Teal Consolidated
Revenues $5,116,741  $416,063  $5,532,804 
             
Net Loss  (6,863,190)  (1,467,770)  (8,330,960)

The acquisition of Skypersonic was completed on May 7, 2021 and its activities during the period from May 1, 2021 to May 7, 2021 were immaterial to the consolidated pro forma results.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the Company's accounting policies, and includes transaction costs, amortization of the acquired intangible assets, and other expenses directly related to each respective acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisitions closed on the dates indicated in the tables, nor are they indicative of results of operations that may occur in the future.

Other information related to the Company’s acquisitions include:

In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (“FPV”) drones and equipment, primarily to consumers. The purchase price allocation has been finalized for each acquisition based on the report from the valuation services firm engaged to assist in the identification and valuation of intangible assets acquired.was $1,995,114.

 C.Goodwill for Rotor Riot relatesIn May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provides hardware and software solutions that enable drones to its strong social media presence including more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Goodwill for Fat Sharkcomplete inspection services in locations where GPS is attributable to its relationship with manufacturing sources in Chinaeither denied or not available, yet still record and the potential to integrate its goggle technologies with the Teal drone.  Goodwill for Skypersonic relates to the future customers expected to leverage its “Fly Anywhere” technologies in a wide rangetransmit data even while being operated from thousands of commercial environments.  Goodwill for Teal is ascribed to its existing relationship with several U.S. government agencies including its classification as an approved vendor.miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012.

 

 D.In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones (“Teal”), a leader in commercial and government Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) technology. The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.  The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized.purchase price was $10,011,279.

Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment (“Enterprise”) and the Consumer segment (“Consumer”) to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, caters to hobbyists, drone racers, and enthusiasts. The reportable segments were established based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”.

On December 11, 2023, the Company completed a firm commitment underwritten public offering with ThinkEquity of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated gross proceeds of $9,200,000 and net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000.

On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UM”). The sale reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital on defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting– The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Principles of ConsolidationOur consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries which consist ofinclude Teal, Drones, Fat Shark,Skypersonic, Rotor Riot, and Skypersonic.Fat Shark.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Consumer segment businesses are characterized as discontinued operations in these financial statements.  The assets and liabilities of these entities have been presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as discontinued operations.  Similarly, the operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are separately stated in those respective financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (iii) accounting for derivatives, and (iv) reserves and allowances related to accounts receivable and inventory.inventory, and (v) the evaluation of long-term assets, including goodwill, for impairment.

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents– At January 31, 2023,2024, we had cash of $3,893,162$7,697,335 in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced any loss on these cash balances and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Marketable Securities – Our marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. These securities are primarily invested in corporate bonds and are readily saleable, and therefore, we have classified them as short term. Our available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Once realized, any gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

 

We have elected to present accrued interest income separately from marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest income was $233,471$0 and $385,730$151,671 as of January 31, 20232024 and April 30, 2022,2023, respectively, and was included in other current assets. We did not write off any accrued interest income during the nine months ended January 31, 20232024 and 2022.2023.

 

Accounts Receivable, netAccounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a multitude of factors, including historical bad debt levels for its customer base, past experience with a specific customer, the economic environment, and other factors. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

 

Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, and direct labor, indirect overhead, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventoriesthe net realizable value of its inventory using various reference measures including current product selling prices and recent customer demand, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and obsolescence.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Goodwill– Goodwill represents the excessThe estimate of the purchase price of an acquisition over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The measurement period fora reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both. Under the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information onincome approach, we utilize the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes known, notdiscounted cash flow method to exceed 12 months. Adjustments in a purchase price allocation may require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which an adjustment is determined.

We perform an impairment test at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise. We have two business segments and evaluate goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation ofestimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions are based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. 

Goodwill for Rotor Riot relates to its strong social media presence including more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Goodwill for Fat Shark is attributable to its relationship with manufacturing sources in China and the potential to integrate its goggle technologies with the Teal drone. Goodwill for Teal is ascribed to its existing relationship with several U.S. government agencies including its classification as an approved vendor. The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each business segment individually.transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.  The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized.

 

Property and equipmentProperty and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciatedwhich is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally: (i) furniture and fixtures - seven years, (ii) equipment and related - two to five years, and (iii) leasehold improvements - 15 years.

 

LeasesEffective August 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 titled “Leases” which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on a modified retrospective transition basis which means that it did not restate financial information for any periods prior to August 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability obligation of $796,976 and a right-of-use asset for the same amount.

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses an effective discount rate of 12% based on its last debt financing. Operating lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced by the amount of the expense. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease when they are reasonably certain to occur.

 

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities, and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company's financial instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debtthese instruments approximates fair value due to thetheir short-term nature of these instruments.nature.

 

Convertible Securities and Derivatives

 

When the Company issues convertible debt or equity instruments that contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds from the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value but no lower than zero. Any excess amount is recognized as a derivative expense.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has issued financial instruments that are considered derivatives or containwhich include embedded features subject to derivative accounting.  Specifically, there are warrants outstanding, issued in connection with a convertible debt financing, which include provisions under which the exercise price is equal to the lesser of (i) $1.50 or (ii) the exercise or conversion price of securities issued in a future, qualified offering.  Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet.  The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. 

In October 2020 and January 2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price ofwarrants are valued using a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as a change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition– The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered regarding revenue recognition including (i) identifying the promised goods, (ii) evaluating performance obligations, (iii) measuring the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v) recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied.  The Company’s revenue transactions include a single component, specifically, the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment.shipment unless otherwise specified in the purchase order. The timing of the shipment of orders can vary considerably depending upon whether an order is for an item normally maintained in inventory or an order that requires assembly or unique parts. Customer deposits totaled $219,148$52,296 and $437,930$155,986 at January 31, 20232024 and April 30, 2022,2023, respectively.

 

Research and Development– Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, as well asmaterials, and a proportionate share of overhead costs such as rent. Costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until technological feasibility is reached, which for our software products, is generally shortly before the products are released to production. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized as a cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products.

 

Income Taxes – Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

 

Recent Accounting PronouncementsManagement does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign CurrencyThe functional currency of our international subsidiary, Skyset, is the local Italian currency. For that subsidiary, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income.

   

13

Comprehensive Loss– Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity andbut are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. During the nine months ended January 31, 20232024, comprehensive loss was $865,738 lower than net loss, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $864,165, and foreign currency translation adjustments of $1,573. During the nine months ended January 31, 2022,2023, comprehensive loss was $328,226 lower and $2,158 lower than net loss, respectively, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $328,006, and $0, respectively, as well as by foreign currency translation adjustments of $220 and $2,158.$220.

Stock-Based CompensationFor stockStock options we useare valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. ForThe fair value of restricted stock we determine the fair valueis based on our stock price on the date of grant. For both stock options and restricted stock, we recognize compensation costsCompensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period which is the vesting term.

  

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The conversion or exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future.

Outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive included the following:include:

Segment Reporting

 

Since January 2020, we have acquired four separate businesses operating in various aspects of the drone industry. Following the most recentTeal acquisition the Companyin August 2021, we focused on integrating and organizing its acquiredthese businesses. These efforts included refiningEffective May 1, 2022, we established the establishment of Enterprise and Consumer segments to sharpen the Company’s focus on the unique opportunities in each sector ofsector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's to commercial enterprises, and the drone industry. The Enterprise segment, which includes Teal Dronesmilitary, to navigate dangerous military environments and Skypersonic, is focused on opportunities in the commercial sector, including military. Enterprise is building the infrastructure to manage drone fleets, fly and provide services remotely, and navigate confined industrial and commercial interior spacesspaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and dangerousother government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military environments.applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, caters to hobbyists, drone racers, and Fat Shark, is focused on enthusiasts and hobbyists which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our daily lives. Effective May 1, 2022, we began to manage our business operations through these business segments.enthusiasts.  The reportable segments were identifiedestablished based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),CODM manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern– The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses related to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $14,838,925 and used cash in operating activities of continuing operations of $15,354,934. As of January 31, 2024, working capital for continuing operations totaled $19,927,073. These financial results and our financial position at January 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company has recently taken actions to strengthen its liquidity. On December 11, 2023, we completed a public offering of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000 as further described in Note 1 and Note 15. In addition, the Company’s operating plan for the next twelve months has been updated to reflect recent operating improvements.  Revenues have accelerated and are expected to continue growing. The Company’s new manufacturing facility is scaling production and gross margins are projected to increase. Management has concluded that these recent positive developments alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue its operations, and meet its financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

Following the establishment of the Enterprise and Consumer segments, management evaluated the long-term business strategy of each segment. This resulted in the Enterprise segment narrowing its focus on the military and other government agencies. It was determined that Skypersonic's technology would be re-focused for the near term on military applications and consolidated into the operations of Teal. The Company completes a formal evaluation of the carrying value of its intangible assets, including goodwill, at the end of each fiscal year. Based on (i) the operating results for Skypersonic since its acquisition in May 2021, (ii) its consolidation into Teal, (iii) our current expectations of its future business conditions and trends, including its projected revenues, expenses, and cash flows, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2,826,918 in April 2023.

Note 13 – Convertible Notes

October 2020 Financing

In October 2020, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2020 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The 2020 Notes accrued interest at 12% annually, had a two-year term, and were convertible into common stock at the lower of $1.00 or a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future, qualified offering. The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase 399,998 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price equal to the lower of (1) $1.50 per share, or (2) at a price equal to 75% of the price per share of the common stock offered in a future, qualified offering.

The Company determined that the provision associated with a potential reduction in the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrant represented an embedded derivative financial liability. The derivative liability was initially valued at $728,587 using a multinomial lattice model with $460,588 and $267,999 related to the derivative features of the notes and warrants, respectively. In addition, $580,000 of the proceeds were applied as a debt discount to reduce the initial carrying value of the 2020 Notes to zero with the remaining $20,000 applied against transaction fees. The excess of the liability over the net proceeds totaled $148,587 which was recognized as a derivative expense in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.

As of January 31, 2023, (a) the 2020 Notes were fully converted into common stock and the related derivative liability eliminated, and (b) 266,666 of the warrants were outstanding with a derivative liability of $273,196.

January 2021 Financing

In January 2021, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2021 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.

The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase 675,000 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price equal to the lower of (i) $1.50 per share, or (ii) a 25% discount to the price per share of common stock offered in a future qualified offering.

20

The Company determined that the provision associated with a potential reduction in the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrant represented an embedded derivative financial liability. The derivative liability was initially valued at $4,981,701 using a multinomial lattice model with $2,111,035 and $2,870,666 related to the derivative features of the notes and warrants, respectively. In addition, $500,000 was applied as a debt discount to reduce the initial carrying value of the 2021 notes to zero. The excess of the liability over the net proceeds totaled $4,481,701 which was recognized as a derivative expense in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.

As of January 31, 2023, (a) the 2021 Notes were fully converted into common stock and the related derivative liability eliminated, and (b) 540,000 of the warrants were outstanding with a derivative liability of $582,904.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

 

Our operating subsidiary, Red Cat Propware, Inc., is incorporated and based in Puerto Rico which is a commonwealth of the United States. We are not subject to taxation by the United States as Puerto Rico has its own taxing authority. Since inception, we have incurred net losses in each year of operations. Our current provision for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements consisted of a tax benefit against which we applied a full valuation allowance, resulting in no current provision for income taxes. In addition, there was no deferred provision for any of these reporting periods.

 

17

At January 31, 20232024 and April 30, 2022,2023, we had accumulated deficits of approximately $43,000,00071,600,000 and $27,500,00054,600,000, respectively. Deferred tax assets related to the future benefit of these net operating losses for tax purposes totaled approximately $7,955,00013,246,000 and $5,087,50010,101,000, respectively, calculated using the base Puerto Rico corporate tax rate of 18.5%. Currently, we focus on projected future taxable income in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that these deferred assets will be realized. Based on the fact that we have not generated an operating profit since inception, we have applied a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at January 31, 20232024 and April 30, 2022.2023.

Note 17 – Warrants

 

The companyCompany issued five-year5 year warrants to investors in connection with two convertible note financings. The warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.50 which may be reduced to a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future qualified offering. The warrants were valued using the multinominal lattice model and are considered derivative liabilities under ASC 815-40. The value of the warrants was included in the determination of the initial accounting for each financing including the calculation of the derivative liability and related expense.

Note 19 – Derivatives

 

The Company has completed financings in October 2020 and January 2021 which included notes and warrants containing embedded features subject to derivative accounting. See Note 13 for a full description of these financings. Both the notes and the warrants included provisions which provided for a reduction in the conversion and exercise prices, respectively, if the Company completed a future qualified offering at a lower price. These provisions represent embedded derivatives which are valued separately from the host instrument (meaning the notes and warrants) and recognized as derivative liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company initially measures these financial instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company also measures these financial instruments on the date of settlement (meaning when the note is converted, or the warrant is exercised) at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations. Any discount in the carrying value of the note is fully amortized on the date of settlement and recognized as interest expense. The Company estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a multinomial lattice model. The range of underlying assumptions used in the binomial model to determine the fair value of the derivative warrant liability upon settlement of the derivative liability and as of January 31, 20232024 and April 30, 20222023 are set forth below. In addition, the Company's stock price on each measurement date was used in the model.

As of January 31, 20232024, all of the notes had been converted into common stock and 806,666 of the warrants were outstanding. Changes in the derivative liability during the nine months ended January 31, 20232024 and the year ended April 30, 20222023 were as follows:

Note 21 - Segment Reporting

 

We define our segments as those operations whose results are regularly reviewed by our CODM to analyze performance and allocate resources. Therefore, segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Our CODM is a committee comprised of our CEO, COO, and CFO. 

The Enterprise segment is focused on opportunities in the commercial sector, including military. Enterprise is building the infrastructure to manage drone fleets, fly and provide services remotely, and navigate confined industrial interior spaces and dangerous military environments.

The Consumer segment is focused on enthusiasts and hobbyists which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our daily lives.

Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved, at times, in various legal proceedings involving a variety of matters. We do not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. We have not recorded any litigation reserves as of January 31, 2024.

One pending legal matter is an action filed against Teal and the Company in a U.S. District Court in California. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, and the unlawful conversion and sale of shares of common stock that plaintiff alleges to have purchased in Teal prior to its acquisition by the Company. The complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty and seeks in excess of $1 million in damages. The Company is asserting vigorous defenses to the complaint.

Plan of Operations

 

Since April 2016, the Company's primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry which it presently does through its four wholly owned subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and services through four acquisitions, including: 

 

 A.In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (FPV) drones and equipment, primarily to the consumer marketplace. The purchase price was $1,995,114.

Following the Teal acquisition, we focused on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise and Consumer segments in order to sharpen our focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. The Enterprise segment, which includes Teal DronesEnterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's, primarily drones, to commercial enterprises, and Skypersonic, is focused on opportunities ingovernment agencies including the commercial sector, including military. Enterprise is building the infrastructuremilitary, to manage drone fleets, flynavigate dangerous military environments and provide services remotely, and navigate confined industrial and commercial interior spacesspaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term focus on the military and dangerousother government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been re-focused on military environments.applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, is focused on hobbyists and enthusiasts which are expected to increase as drones become more visible and useful in our daily lives.

Three Months Ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022

 

Revenues

 

Revenues totaled $3,106,644$5,847,933 during the three months ended January 31, 2024 (or the "2024 period") compared to $1,667,683 during the three months ended January 31, 2023 (or the "2023 period") representing an increase of $4,180,250, or 251%. The increase primarily related to higher product revenue related to the launch of the Teal 2 in April 2023. Product revenue totaled $4,764,253 during the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $1,856,751$1,176,602 during the three months ended January 31, 2023 representing an increase of $3,587,651, or 305%. The increase in revenue also partially related to increased contract revenues during the 2024 period. Contract revenues totaled $1,008,328 during the 2024 period compared to $486,432 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $521,896, or 107%. Contract revenues are primarily sourced through government agencies and can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of award deliverables and amendments.

Gross Margin

Gross margin totaled $1,101,651 during the 2024 period compared to negative $96,929 during the 2023 period representing an increase of $1,198,580, or more than 12 times. On a percentage basis, gross margin was 19% during the 2024 period compared to negative 6% during the 2023 period. The percentage basis increase in gross margin in the 2024 period primarily related to obsolete inventory write-offs that occurred during the 2023 period. Additionally, lower manufacturing levels in the 2023 period resulted in higher relative overhead costs compared to the 2024 period. Our manufacturing facility is presently producing drones at a lower level than it is designed for, and these lower production levels, combined with higher overhead costs, continue to result in lower than targeted gross margins. As production levels increase, our fixed overhead costs, including labor, are expected to be allocated to a greater number of drones which is expected to drive our per-drone production costs lower and increase gross margins.

Operating Expenses

Operations expenses totaled $527,447 during the 2024 period compared to $663,668 during the 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $136,221, or 21%. This decrease is primarily due to lower professional fees due to the Teal facility expansion having been completed since the 2023 period.

Sales and marketing costs totaled $883,982 during the 2024 period compared to $1,015,412 during the 2023 period, representing a decrease of $131,430 or 13%. The decrease was driven by lower advertising expenses and lower professional fees.

General and administrative expenses totaled $1,426,531 during the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $1,397,667 during the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase of $28,864 or 2%. The increase primarily related to payroll, professional fees and information technology expenses.

During the three months ended January 31, 2024, we incurred stock-based compensation costs of $585,771 compared to $788,691 in the 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $202,920 or 26%. Since the 2023 period, the Company issued 3,442,542 additional options and 298,643 additional RSUs which resulted in incremental stock-based compensation costs of $406,935 and $59,791, respectively. This increase was offset by an RSU award that fully vested since the 2023 period, as well as the forfeiture 643,751 stock options and 70,656 RSU awards resulting in decremental stock-based compensation expense of $570,041.

The increase in operating expenses was offset by the increase in other income. Higher gross margin is attributable to the decrease in net loss from continuing operations.

Results of Discontinued Operations

This increase primarily related to Teal, which launched its latest product, the Teal 2, during the 2023 period. Teal accounted for 95% of Enterprise revenues during the 2023 period. 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods totaled $7,012,483 in the 2023 period compared to $4,521,974 in the 2022 period, representing an increase of $2,490,509, or 55%. The increase directly related to higher revenues which increased by 51% in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period.

On a percentage basis, gross margin was 9% during the 2023 period compared to 12% during the 2022 period. The percentage basis decrease primarily related to Teal which realized lower margins in the 2023 period2024, related to the launchwrite-off of the Teal 2 and corresponding disposalexcess quantities of obsoleteDominator inventory used exclusively for the Golden Eagle. This obsolete inventory decreased gross margin for Teal from 8% in the 2022 period to 2% in the 2023 period. The percentage basis decrease was partially offset by Fat Shark which realized higher margins in the 2023 period related to the launch of its Dominator goggles compared to the 2022 period when it lowered prices to expedite the sale of products near the end of their life cycle. These changes in product offerings increased gross margin for Fat Shark from 2% in the 2022 period to 15% in the 2023 period. 

Operating Expenses

Operations expense totaled $3,616,129 during the 2023 period compared to $794,390 during the 2022 period, resulting in an increase of $2,821,739, or greater than 100%.

Going Concern

We only began generating revenues in January 2020The Company has never been profitable and have reportedhas incurred net losses since inception. We expectrelated to report net losses for at leastacquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the next twelve months. To date, we have funded our operations through debt and equity transactions. In May and July 2021, we completed common stock offerings which generated gross proceeds of approximately $70 million. Atnine months ended January 31, 2023, we reported2024, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $14,838,925 and used cash in operating activities of continuing operations of $15,354,934. As of January 31, 2024, working capital for continuing operations totaled $19,927,073. These financial results and investment balances of approximately $24.6 million. We expect theseour financial resources to be sufficient to fundposition at January 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we can provide no assurance that these financial resources will be sufficient to fund our operations until we reach profitability.  If we are unable to become profitable before expending our current financial resources, we will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt transactions. We can provide no assurance that such additional financing, if required, will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to become profitable or obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unableability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company has recently taken actions to strengthen its liquidity. On December 11, 2023, we completed a public offering of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000. In addition, the Company’s operating plan for the next twelve months has been updated to reflect recent operating improvements.  Revenues have accelerated and are expected to continue growing. The Company’s new manufacturing facility is scaling production and gross margins are projected to increase. Management has concluded that these recent positive developments alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue its operations, and meet its financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. 

 

Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (iii) accounting for derivatives, and (iv) reserves and allowances related to accounts receivable and inventory.

 

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both. Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions our based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

We have

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no off-balance sheet arrangements.market data.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debt approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. 

In October 2020 and January 2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method. The valuation is updated each reporting date with the change in the liability reflected as a change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
