FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control), and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

 

As a result of these and other factors, we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBERJUNE 30, 20222023

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee” or the “Company”) was incorporated as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc., in the state of Florida, on December 1, 2009. On April 7, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion to register and incorporate in the state of Delaware and changed the company name to Twin Vee PowerCats Co. The Certificate of Incorporation for Twin Vee PowerCats Co. was also filed on April 7, 2021.

 

On September 1, 2021, the Company formed Fix My Boat, Inc., (“Fix My Boat”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Fix My Boat will utilize a franchise model for marine mechanics across the country. Fix My Boat has been inactive for the majority of 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, however the Company anticipates focusing resources on this entity by the end of 2023.

 

On October 15, 2021, the Company formed Electra Power Sports,Forza X1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. was initially incorporated as Electra Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, and subsequently changed itsthe name to Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1” or “Forza”) on October 29, 2021.Prior to Forza’s incorporation on October 15, 2021, the electric boat business was operated as the Company’s Electra Power Sports™ Division. Following the Company’s initial public offering that closed on July 23, 2021 (the “IPO”), it determined in October 2021 that for several reasons, that it would market the Company’s new independent line of electric boats under a new brand name (and new subsidiary).

On April 20, 2023, the Company formed AquaSport Co., a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Florida in connection with the Company’s plan to lease the assets of former AQUASPORT™ boat brand and manufacturing facility in White Bluff Tennessee.

Merger

On December 5, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Twin Vee PowerCats Co. and Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TVPC”), TVPC was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”).

As TVPC did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, the merger was not accounted for as a business combination. The Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Twin Vee PowerCats, Co., effected through the exchange of TVPC shares for Twin Vee PowerCats, Co. shares, and the cancellation of Twin Vee PowerCats, Co. shares held by Twin Vee Inc. Upon the effective date of the Merger, December 5, 2022, Twin Vee Co. accounted for the Merger by assuming TVPC’s net liabilities. Twin Vee PowerCats, Co.’s financial statements reflect the operations of TVPC. prospectively and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of TVPC.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twin Vee and its wholly owned subsidiaries AquaSport Co., and Fix My Boat, Inc., (“Fix My Boat”) and majority owned subsidiary, Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1” “Forza”), collectively referred to as the “Company”. The Company’s net loss excludes losses attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company reports noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 are2023 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20212022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19,975,562 and $6,975,302, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, does include $13,940,706, related to Forza which was generated from their IPO.


Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. Credit risk on trade receivables is mitigated as a result of the Company’s use of trade letters of credit, dealer floor plan financing arrangements, and the geographically diversified nature of the Company’s customer base. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit of $250,000 are at risk. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $19,023,055 and $6,725,302, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

Marketable Securities

Our investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income.2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, motors and trailers to its independent dealers. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. For the majority of sales, this occurs when the product is released to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer. The Company typically receives payment within five business days of shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product. The Company offers dealer incentives that include wholesale rebates, retail rebates and promotions, floor plan reimbursement or cash discounts, and other allowances that are recorded as reductions of revenues in net sales in the statements of operations. The consideration recognized represents the amount specified in a contract with a customer, net of estimated incentives the Company reasonably expects to pay. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue for dealer incentives is recorded at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments to incentive estimates are possible because actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Accrued dealer incentives are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit, which is included in contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.deposit. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer. At SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had customer deposits of $1,026,580182,335 and $14,1005,300, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities.liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. These deposits are expected to be recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

 

Rebates and Discounts

 

Dealers earn wholesale rebates based on purchase volume commitments and achievement of certain performance metrics. The Company estimates the amount of wholesale rebates based on historical achievement, forecasted volume, and assumptions regarding dealer behavior. Rebates that apply to boats already in dealer inventory are referred to as retail rebates. The Company estimates the amount of retail rebates based on historical data for specific boat models adjusted for forecasted sales volume, product mix, dealer and consumer behavior, and assumptions concerning market conditions. The Company also utilizes various programs whereby it offers cash discounts or agrees to reimburse its dealers for certain floor plan interest costs incurred by dealers for limited periods of time, generally ranging up to nine months.


Other Revenue Recognition Matters

 

Dealers generally have no right to return unsold boats. Occasionally, the Company may accept returns in limited circumstances and at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy. The Company may be obligated, in the event of default by a dealer, to accept returns of unsold boats under its repurchase commitment to floor financing providers, who are able to obtain such boats through foreclosure. The repurchase commitment is on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through the payment date by the dealer, generally not exceeding 30 months.

 

The Company has excluded sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority in connection with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Company has not adjusted net sales for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer’s payment is expected to be one year or less.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. Credit risk on trade receivables is mitigated as a result of the Company’s use of trade letters of credit, dealer floor plan financing arrangements, and the geographically diversified nature of the Company’s customer base. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit of $250,000 are at risk. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $24,926,490 and $22,666,301, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less at the time of purchase. On June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $26,337,127 and $23,501,007, respectively. Included within restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets is an irrevocable letter of credit for $200,000, which is being held by a third party bank as collateral.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured as fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires it to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts receivable and payable, and other financial instruments in current assets or current liabilities.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost method. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, using the straight-line method over the assets’ useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the assets’ useful life or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from three to five years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts. If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value, based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.

Advertising

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled $241,702 and $18,754, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs relating to new product development as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, research and development costs amounted to $964,121 and $396,352, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs include those costs incurred to transport product to customers and internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has been transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost. The Company includes shipping and handling costs, including cost billed to customers, in cost of sales in the statements of operations. All manufactured boats are free on board (FOB), from the Fort Pierce manufacturing plant. Dealers are required to either pick up the boats themselves or contract with a transporter. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, shipping and handling costs amounted to $395,767 and $54,081, respectively. These costs have increased by $341,686, due to adding dealers in the New England stated and Michigan, compared to the prior year, when all of the boats were shipped to the states in the southeast portion of the United States.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding ROU asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expenses for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Supplier Concentrations

 

The Company is dependent on the ability of its suppliers to provide products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing terms. The loss of certain principal suppliers or a significant reduction in product availability from principal suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Business risk insurance is in place to mitigate the business risk associated with sole suppliers for sudden disruptions such as those caused by natural disasters.

 

The Company is dependent on third-party equipment manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for certain parts and materials utilized in the manufacturing process. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023, the Company purchased all engines for its boats under supplier agreements with two vendors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased all engines for its boats under a supply agreementsupplier agreements with a singleone vendor. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, total purchases to this vendorthese vendors were $4,025,9563,562,550 and $2,805,7392,702,733, respectively.

Employee Retention Credit

On Mach 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC.

Pursuant to the employee retention credit, eligible employers could receive a 50% - 70% credit on qualified wages against their employment taxes each quarter during the eligible period in 2020 and 2021, respectively, with any excess credits eligible for refunds. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income related to the employee retention credit of $1,267,055 upon completion of an analysis providing reasonable assurance that the Company met the conditions set forth in the CARES Act. The employee retention credit was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period for the fair value of awards that vest.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recover or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is entirely dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses —Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which includes the Company’s accounts receivable. This ASU was adopted by the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

FprzaForza utilizes the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant. Forza utilized the following assumptions for option grants during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022:2023:

Expected term 5 years 
Expected average volatility 111 - 115%%
Expected dividend yield  
Risk-free interest rate 2.98 - 3.62%%

 

The expected volatility of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock price of comparable boat manufacturing companies. Forza estimated the expected life of the options granted based upon historical weighted average of comparable boat manufacturing companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Department of the Treasury yield curve rates with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. Forza has never paid a dividend, and as such the dividend yield is 0.0%.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a designer, manufacturer and marketer of recreational and commercial power catamaran boats. We believe our company has been an innovator in the recreational and commercial power catamaran industry. We currently have 813 gas-powered models in production ranging in size from our 24-foot, dual20-foot mono hull, single engine, center console to our newly designed 40-foot offshore 400 GFX. OurGFX catamaran, quad engines. While our twin-hull catamaran running surface, known as a symmetrical catamaran hull design, adds to the Twin Vee ride quality by reducing drag, increasing fuel efficiency, and offering users a stable riding boat. Twin Vee’s home base operations in Fort Pierce Florida is a 7.5-acre facility with several buildings totaling over 75,000 square feet. We employed approximately 160 people on September 30, 2022, someboat, our new mono hull line represents the largest portion of whom have been with our company for over twenty years.the overall market.

 

We have organized our business into three operating segments: (i) our gas-powered boat segment which manufactures and distributes gas-powered boats under the Twin Vee name;and AquaSport names; (ii) our electric-powered boat segment which is developing fully electric boats, through our whollymajority owned subsidiary, Forza X1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forza”) and (iii) our franchise segment which is developing a standard product offering and will be selling franchises across the United States through our wholly owned subsidiary, Fix My Boat, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Our gas-powered boats allow consumers to use them for a wide range of recreational activities including fishing, diving and water skiing and commercial activities including transportation, eco tours, fishing and diving expeditions. We believe that the performance, quality and value of our boats position us to achieve our goal of increasing our market share and expanding the power catamaran boating market. We currently primarily sell our boats through a current network of 2123 independent boat dealers in 2637 locations across North America and the Caribbean who resell our boats to the end user Twin Vee and AquaSport customers. We continue recruiting efforts for high quality boat dealers and seek to establish new dealers and distributors domestically and internationally to distribute our boats as we grow our production and introduce new models. Our gas-powered boats are currently outfitted with gas-powered outboard combustion engines.

 

Due to the growing demand for sustainable, environmentally friendly electric and alternative fuel commercial and recreational vehicles, our majority owned subsidiary, Forza, X1, Inc., is designing and developing a line of electric-powered catamaran boats ranging in size from 18-feet to 28-feet. Forza’s initial two models, the FX1 Dual Console and FX1 Center Console, are being designed to be 24-foot in length, have an 8’ beam or width and utilize a catamaran hull surface to reduce drag and increase run times. The initial launch of FX1 will include our proprietary single electric outboard motor.boats. Our electric boats are being designed as fully integrated electric boats including the hull, outboard motor and control system. To date, we have completed the design of the 25-foot FX1 dual console model, including hull,Forza X1 has built-out and tested multiple Forza company units, including: three offshore-style catamarans, two bay boat-style catamarans, one deck and small parts.This design has gone from an intellectual concept in CAD to fiberglass and foam plugs, fiberglass molds and, finally, working boat parts in just over one year. On October the 28th, the running surface of the boat and allthree 22-foot center console (F22) monohulls. In addition, Forza has also electrified a pontoon boat for a major components were tested successfully for several hours onnational pontoon manufacturer. We are in the Indian River Lagoon in Fort Pierce, Florida. Whileprocess of an additional pontoon electrification project and are building an additional five monohulls. Each build cycle includes improvements and involves extensive duration and performance testing. The engine design and lower units and the motor and control systems are continuously improved with each iteration. Cooling system improvements have also been successfully trialed previously, this wasprioritized and have yielded a myriad of benefits to runtime, speed, and range. We continue to iterate the first voyagethat included all major components, production batteries, fully functioning “alpha” engine design, control system - including 22” Garmin screen,value engineering of parts and Osmosis telematics unit. The performancelightweighting of the boat exceeded all expectations and will provide a great baseline for improvements, iterations, and design enhancements.engine components. We are experimenting with our first 300 HP stacked motor design. We anticipate revenues from the sale of these fully integrated electric boats and motors to commence in late 2023. Forza X1 will continue to build prototype engines and boats for the next six to nine months.

During the first nine monthssecond quarter of 2022,2023, we continued to experience strong sales forsaw a small decrease in demand of our products.productions. Our company’s objectives have been to add new, larger boat models to our GFX lineup, expand our dealers and distribution network, and increase unit production to fulfill our customer and dealer orders. We have made significant progress on all frontsnow added our monohull line, shipping our first model of the monohull, the 22 foot, in the first nine months ended September 30, 2022, we started production on our new 260GFX and we unveiled our 400GFX at our dealer meeting in JulyFebruary of 2022, we have added to our dealer network, we now have 21 dealers and 26 locations.2023. We have increased our productionsales by 69%,18% for the threefirst six months ended September 30, 2022of 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, which has increased our net revenue up 119% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our net revenue increased 114%shipping 129 boats compared to 96 in 2022, a 33% increase. The average selling price of our units did decrease by 13%, in the three months ended September 30, 2021. While net sales growth has been significant,first six month of 2023 down to approximately $132,000. This is due to the investments weinclusion of our monohull boats which have an average selling price of approximately $60,000 per unit.

We are making also increases our labor, operating, sales and general administration costs. Our manufacturing process is labor intensive, and withmonitoring the overall market carefully, the addition of new modelsthe monohull boat accounted for 17% of our total sales in the first six months. We anticipate that sales of the monohull will continue to our production line we have added staff and expanded our training program.

As we move forward, we anticipate our operating income to be moderate toward breakeven for our core gas-powered boat segment, as we bring our new Tennessee facility on line, however, our electric boat division will continue to incur losses as we continue to develop our fully integrated electric boats, which includes research and development efforts.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of our operations:

 

Revenue Recognition

We accountThe Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, motors and trailers to its independent dealers. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. For the majority of sales, this occurs when the product is released to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer. The Company typically receives payment within five business days of shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product. The Company offers dealer incentives that include wholesale rebates, retail rebates and promotions, floor plan reimbursement or cash discounts, and other allowances that are recorded as reductions of revenues in net sales in the statements of operations. The consideration recognized represents the amount specified in a contract with a customer, net of estimated incentives the Company reasonably expects to pay. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 which was adoptedfor dealer incentives is recorded at the beginningtime of fiscal year 2018 usingsale. Subsequent adjustments to incentive estimates are possible because actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions dictate the modified retrospective method. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustmentneed to retained earnings upon adoption asenhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Accrued dealer incentives are included in accrued liabilities in the effect was immaterial.accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit, which is included in contract liabilities on the balance sheet.deposit. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States “U.S. GAAP” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in those estimates are assumptions about allowances for inventory obsolescence, useful life of fixed assets, warranty reserves and bad-debt reserves.


Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have beenare made when necessary to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

 

 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts. If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value, based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.

 

Product Warranty Costs

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees, we are including the following disclosure applicable to our product warranties.

 

We accrue for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. Our warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate.

 

Leases

 

We adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), using the modified retrospective adoption method with an effective date of January 1, 2019. This standard requires all lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments.

 

Under Topic 842, we applied a dual approach to all leases whereby we are a lessee and classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by us. Lease classification is evaluated at the inception of the lease agreement.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

U.S. GAAP does not contain authoritative accounting standards for forgivable loans provided by governmental entities to a for-profit entity. Absent authoritative accounting standards, interpretative guidance issued and commonly applied by financial statement preparers allows for the selection of accounting policies amongst acceptable alternatives. Based on the facts and circumstances, we determined it most appropriate to account for the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds as an in-substance government grant by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20 “(IAS 20)”, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Under the provisions of IAS 20, “a forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.” IAS 20 does not define “reasonable assurance”; however, based on certain interpretations, it is analogous to “probable” as defined in FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20-20 under U.S. GAAP, which is the definition we have applied to our expectations of PPP loan forgiveness. Under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in earnings on a systematic basis over the periods in which we recognize costs for which the grant is intended to compensate (i.e., qualified expenses). Further, IAS 20 permits for the recognition in earnings either (1) separately under a general heading such as other income, or (2) as a reduction of the related expenses. We have elected to recognize government grant income separately within other income to present a clearer distinction in its financial statements between its operating income and the amount of net income resulting from the PPP loan and forgiveness.


Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance

 

We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC rules.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)13a-15I and 15d-15(e)15d-15I under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined Rules 13a-15(e)13a-15I and 15d-15(e)15d-15I under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such a date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, related to not yet having retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures over internal controls.instruments.

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses, due to inadequate staffing levels. We have retained a full-time Controller and a Staff Accountant; we have selected and are working on implementinghave recently implemented a robust operating system, and we are utilizing the assistance of outside advisors where appropriate.


To remediate the existing material weaknesses, additional time is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, controls and procedureprocedures have been implemented to remediate the material weakness, however testing of controls continues.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we hired additionalreplacement staff in our finance department and have developedare developing and refinedrefining our controls and other producers that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and in accordance with GAAP.

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

 

We have incurred losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 and could continue to incur losses in the future.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of $6,021,707 and a net loss of $5,793,414. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,380,260 and a net loss of $3,698,718. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9.7 million. There can be no assurance that expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs and to generate income from operations and net income.

The capacity of the manufacturing facility that we and Forza utilize will not be sufficient to support our future growth and business plans.

We are currently operating close to full capacity at our current manufacturing facility in Fort Pierce. Forza plans to manufacture its electric boats at a new state of the art carbon neutral factory that it plans to build in McDowell County, North Carolina. Until we are able to expand our manufacturing capacity and Forza is able to build the planned manufacturing facility, we will continue to share our current manufacturing facility with Forza, which has a limited capacity and may not be able to satisfy our and their manufacturing needs. Any facility that we build will require a significant capital investment and is expected to take at least one to two years to build and become fully operational. As a result of limited capacity at our facility, Forza’s ability to produce any boats will be limited to the available capacity of our facility until Forza’s future manufacturing facility is operational. If capacity is not available, Forza will not be able to produce its electric boats as planned. 

34

 In addition. Forza intends to utilize grant funding to pay for certain costs associated with the building of its manufacturing facility. On July 28, 2022, we received notice that the North Carolina Economic investment committee has approved a Job Development Investment Grant (“JDIG”) providing for reimbursement to us of up to $1,367,100 over a twelve-year period to establish a new manufacturing plant in McDowell County, North Carolina. The receipt of grant funding is conditioned upon Forza investing over $10.5 million in land, buildings and fixtures, infrastructure and machinery and equipment by the end of 2025 and Forza creating as many as 170 jobs. There can be no assurance that Forza will meet the conditions necessary to receive the grant funding.

Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.

 

Our operations and performance depend on global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions. Increasing inflation has raised operating costs for many businessesGeneral worldwide economic conditions have experienced significant instability in recent years including the recent global economic uncertainty and in the future, could impact demand or pricing of our boats or employee wages.financial market conditions. Russia’s invasion and military attacks on Ukraine have triggered significant sanctions from U.S. and European leaders. These events are currently escalatingleaders and creating increasingly volatile global economic conditions.financial markets around the world experienced volatility following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. Resulting changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by Russia, its allies and other affected countries, including China, resulting in a “trade war.” Furthermore, if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues for a long period of time, or if other countries, including the U.S., become further involved in the conflict, we could face significant adverse effects to our business and financial condition.

 

The above factors, including a number of other economicuncertain financial markets, disruptions in supply chains, mobility restraints, and geopolitical factors bothchanging priorities as well as volatile asset values could impact our business in the U.S.future. The COVID-19 outbreak and abroad, could ultimatelygovernment measures taken in response to the pandemic have material adversealso had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as medical services and supplies, have spiked, while demand for other goods and services, such as travel, have fallen. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. In addition, the outbreak of a pandemic could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees, or absenteeism by members of management and other employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others in our office or laboratory facilities, or due to quarantines. Pandemics could also impact members of our Board of Directors resulting in absenteeism from meetings of the directors or committees of directors, and making it more difficult to convene the quorums of the full Board of Directors or its committees needed to conduct meetings for the management of our affairs.

Further, due to increasing inflation, operating costs for many businesses including ours have increased and, in the future, could impact demand or pricing manufacturing of our drug candidates or services providers, foreign exchange rates or employee wages. Inflation rates, particularly in the United States, have increased recently to levels not seen in years, and increased inflation may result in increases in our operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity and limits on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital. In addition, the Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation, which coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial condition, resultsmarkets may have the effect of operationsfurther increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks.

Actual events involving reduced or limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver. Although we did not have any cash or cash flows, includingequivalent balances on deposit with Silicon Valley Bank, uncertainty and liquidity concerns in the following:broader financial services industry remain and the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and its potential near- and long-term effects on the biotechnology industry and its participants such as our vendors, suppliers, and investors, may also adversely affect our operations and stock price.

We depend on our network of independent dealers for our gas-powered boats, face increasing competition for dealers, and have little control over their activities.

 

A significant portion of our sales of our gas-powered boats are derived from our network of independent dealers. We typically manufacture our gas-powered boats based upon indications of interest received from dealers who are not contractually obligated to purchase any boats. While our dealers typically have purchased all of the boats for which they have provided us with indications of interest, it is possible that a dealer could choose not to purchase boats for which it has provided an indication of interest (e.g., if it were to have reached the credit limit on its floor plan), and as a result we once experienced, and in the future could experience, excess inventory and costs. At SeptemberFor the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, our top three dealers accounted for 37%approximately 36% of our consolidated revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, one individual dealer had sales of over 10% of our total boats sold.sales, that dealer represented 20% of total sales. The loss of a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The number of dealers supporting our products and the quality of their marketing and servicing efforts are essential to our ability to generate sales. Competition for dealers among other boat manufacturers continues to increase based on the quality, price, value, and availability of the manufacturers’ products, the manufacturers’ attention to customer service, and the marketing support that the manufacturer provides to the dealers. We face intense competition from other boat manufacturers in attracting and retaining dealers, affecting our ability to attract or retain relationships with qualified and successful dealers. Although our management believes that the quality of our products in the performance sport boat industry should permit us to maintain our relationships with our dealers and our market share position, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or improve our relationships with our dealers or our market share position. In addition, independent dealers in the boating industry have experienced significant consolidation in recent years, which could result in the loss of one or more of our dealers in the future if the surviving entity in any such consolidation purchases similar products from a competitor. A substantial deterioration in the number of dealers or the quality of our network of dealers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon the financial healthThe loss of ourone or a few dealers and their continued access to financing.could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Because we sell nearly allA few dealers have in the past, and may in the future, account for a significant portion of our gas-poweredrevenues in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years. For example, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, one individual dealers had sales of over 10% of our total sales, and that dealers represented 20% of total sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, three dealers represented 36% of our sales. The loss of business from a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Forza’s planned fully electric sport boat has not yet been developed, and even if developed, interest in it may not develop.

Forza has completed the design and is testing it first monohull sport boat. There can be no assurance that Forza will be able to complete testing of their product when anticipated, if at all, that we will be able to mass produce the electric boats or that the anticipated features or services to be included in the electric boat will create substantial interest or a market, and therefore Forza’s anticipated product, its sales and growth for our product may not develop as expected, or at all. For example, in May 2021 we experienced a small fire in connection with the sea trial of a prototype of our electric boat which resulted in a six-month delay in our design timetable as we implemented changes to the design for outboard electric motor system as a result of the fire. We cannot guarantee that similar events will not occur in the future, or that we will be able to contain such events without damage or delay. Even if such a market for the electric sport boat develops, there can be no assurance that Forza would be able to maintain that market.

Forza’s operations to date have been primarily limited to finalizing the design and engineering of its electric sport boat as well as organizing and staffing Forza in preparation for launching the electric boat. As such, Forza has not yet demonstrated, and the success of Forza is wholly dependent upon, its ability to commercialize its products. The successful commercialization of any products through dealers, their financial health is criticalwill require us to perform a variety of functions, including:

completing the design and testing for the electric sport boat and Forza’s proprietary outboard electric motor;
manufacturing the electric sport boats;
developing a vertically integrated direct-to-consumer distribution system; and
conducting sales and marketing activities.

Forza cannot be certain that its business strategy for its electric-powered boats will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our success. Our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations maycould be materially and adversely affected, if the financial health of the dealers that sell our products suffers. Their financial health may suffer for a variety of reasons, including a downturn in general economic conditions, rising interest rates, higher rents, increased labor costs and taxes, compliance with regulations, and personal financial issues. In addition, the more inventory of our boats that any dealer acquires, the greater the risk that the dealer is affected by the foregoing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the dealers have significantly increased their inventory of our boats.

In addition, our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchases of our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These sources of financing are vital to our ability to sell products through our distribution network. Access to financing generally facilitates our dealers’ ability to purchase boats from us, and their financed purchases reduce our working capital requirements. If financing were not available to our dealers, our sales and our working capital levels would be adversely affected.


We may be required to repurchase inventory of certain dealers.

Many of our dealers have floor plan financing arrangements with third-party finance companies that enable the dealers to purchase our products. In connection with these agreements, we may have an obligation to repurchase our products from a finance company under certain circumstances, and weForza may not have any control over the timingresources to continue or amountexpand the business operations of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptableits electric-powered boats business.

Forza may not receive the anticipated grant funding.

On July 28, 2022, Forza received notice that the North Carolina Economic investment committee has approved the JDIG providing for reimbursement to us of up to satisfy any repurchase obligation. This obligation$1,367,100 over a twelve-year period to establish a new manufacturing plant in McDowell County, North Carolina. The receipt of grant funding is triggered ifconditioned upon us investing over $10.5 million in land, buildings and fixtures, infrastructure and machinery and equipment by the end of 2025 and us creating as many as 170 jobs. Forza is currently in negotiations for a dealer defaults on its debt obligationsnew site to a finance company,build the finance company repossesses the boat, and the boat is returned to us. Our obligation to repurchase a repossessed boat for the unpaid balance of our original invoice price for the boat is subject to reduction or limitation based on the age and condition of the boat at the time of repurchase, andForza factory in certain cases by an aggregate cap on repurchase obligations associated with a particular floor plan financing program. To date, we have not been obligated to repurchase any boats under our dealers’ floor plan financing arrangements, and we are not aware of any applicable laws regulating dealer relations which govern our relations with the dealers or would require us to repurchase any boats. However, there isNorth Carolina. There can be no assurance that a dealerthe negotiations will be successful. If unsuccessful, it will not default onmeet the terms ofconditions necessary to receive the grant funding and will be subject to the limited capacity at the Twin Vee factory that Twin Vee allows Forza, in its discretion, to use. There can be no assurance that Forza will meet the conditions necessary to receive the grant funding. Forza is currently in negotiations for a credit linenew site to build the Forza factory in North Carolina. There can be no assurance that the future. The risk that a dealer may default, and we maynegotiations will be required to repurchase a vehicle increases as dealers acquire more inventory of our boats. Our maximum obligation under such floor plan agreements totaled approximately $11,825,000 or 68 units, and $4,273,000 or 24 units, as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, applicable laws regulating dealer relations may also require us to repurchase our products from our dealers under certain circumstances, and we may not have any control over the timing or amount of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptable to us to satisfy any repurchase obligation. If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement or under applicable dealer laws, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.successful.

 

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

 

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

 

WeAs of June 30, 2023, we do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting .reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and in accordance with GAAP. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have addedwill be required to expend time and resources to further improve our staffing levels and implemented additional control. In early 2023 we will have a new operating system in place that will further strengthen theinternal controls over financial reporting, process.including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

We are in the process of hiring additional staff and providing them with the required training, we continue to engage outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to spend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business.

 

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from our international expansion. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.


Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Forza X1 may not receive the anticipated grant funding.

On July 28, 2022, Forza received notice that the North Carolina Economic Investment Committee has approved a Job Development Investment Grant (“JDIG”) providing for reimbursement to it of up to $1,367,100 over a twelve-year period to establish a new manufacturing plant in McDowell County, North Carolina. The receipt of grant funding is conditioned upon Forza investing over $10.5 million in land, buildings and fixtures, infrastructure and machinery and equipment by the end of 2025 and us creating as many as 170 jobs. Forza is currently in negotiations for a new site to build the Forza factory in North Carolina. There can be no assurance that the negotiations will be successful. If unsuccessful, Forza will not meet the conditions necessary to receive the grant funding and will be subject to the limited capacity at our factory that we allow Forza, in our discretion, to use. There can be no assurance that Forza X1 will meet the conditions necessary to receive the grant funding.

Our planned fully electric sport boat has not yet been developed, and even if developed, interest in it may not develop.

Forza’s electric boats are being designed as fully integrated electric boats, including the hull, outboard motor and control system; however, Forza has not completed the final assembly of its electric boat into a fully integrated product. There can be no assurance that Forza will be able to complete development of the FX1 when anticipated, if at all, that Forza will be able to mass produce the FX1 or that the anticipated features or services to be included in the FX1 will create substantial interest or a market, and therefore our anticipated FX1 product, its sales and growth for our product may not develop as expected, or at all. For example, in May 2021 we experienced a small fire in connection with the sea trial of a prototype of our electric boat which resulted in a six-month delay in our design timetable as we implemented changes to the design for outboard electric motor system as a result of the fire. We cannot guarantee that similar events will not occur in the future, or that we will be able to contain such events without damage or delay. Even if such a market for the FX1 sport boat develops, there can be no assurance that we would be able to maintain that market.

Forza’s operations to date have been primarily limited to finalizing the design and engineering of our electric sport boat as well as organizing and staffing Forza in preparation for launching the FX1 electric boat. As such, we have not yet demonstrated, and the success of Forza is wholly dependent upon, its ability to commercialize its products. The successful commercialization of any products will require us to perform a variety of functions, including:

completing the design and testing for the FX1 sport boat and our proprietary outboard electric motor;
manufacturing the FX1 sport boats;
developing a vertically integrated direct-to-consumer distribution system; and
conducting sales and marketing activities.

We cannot be certain that our business strategy for our electric-powered boats will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and we may not have the resources to continue or expand the business operations of our electric-powered boats business.


ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

(a)Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

None.

 

(b)Use of Proceeds.

On July 22,23, 2021, we closed our initial public offering pursuant to which we offered and sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $6.00 per share (for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,000,000), pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended) (File No. 333-255134), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 20, 2021, as amended by the Registration Statement on Form S-1 MEF (File No. 333-258058) filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021 and effective as of the date of filing. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1,260,000, and other offering expenses payable by us of approximately $1,567,150, we received approximately $15,849,037 in net proceeds from our initial public offering. ThinkEquity LLC (formerly known as ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc.) acted as the representative of the several underwriters for the offering. We also granted a 45-day option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase up to 450,000 additional shares of common stock solely to cover over-allotments, if any, which expired unexercised.

 

At the time of the initial public offering, the primary use of the net proceeds was as follows: (i) approximately $1,500,000 for production and marketing of our larger fully equipped boats.;boats; (ii) approximately $2,500,000 for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our new line of electric boats; (iii) approximately $6,000,000 for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our fully electric propulsion system; (iv) approximately $3,500,000 for acquisition of waterfront property and development of the Electra Power Sports- EV Innovation & Testing Center, in Fort Pierce, Florida to build, design and manufacture our electric propulsion systemssystems; and (v) the balance for working capital.

 

It was originally anticipated that we would retrofit a gas-powered boat with an electric motor that would be designed by us and that we would also sell the motors to other third-party boat manufacturers to retrofit their boats. The retrofitting would require extensive development, testing and manufacturing of multiple variations of electric motors. However, consumer preference in the electric marine market was and is trending towards a single purchase of a fully integrated electric boat rather than a retrofitted existing gas and diesel fuel powered boat with electric outboard motors and battery packs. Therefore, we decided not to continue designing electric motors for retrofitting, resulting in us no longer needing any funding for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our fully electric propulsion system and instead those funds are anticipated to be used for working capital needs.

Further, we originally anticipated that we would acquire waterfront property for a testing center in Fort Pierce, the price of real estate in Florida has prohibited us from moving forward. Therefore, we decided to use the $3,500,000 of funds to build additional manufacturing space at our Fort Pierce location.

The remaining planned use of proceeds has not changed since the initial public offering.
