AIRO
Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes
to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
The
Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature
of Operations
AIRO
Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” or the “Company”), is a technologically differentiated
aerospace, autonomy, and air mobility platform targeting 21st century aerospace and defense opportunities. The Company is organized into
four operating segments: (i) Drones, (ii) Avionics, (iii) Training and (iv) Electric Air Mobility. The Drones segment develops, manufactures,
and sells drones and expects to provide drone services, such as Drone as a Service (“DaaS”), for military and commercial
end users. The Avionics segment develops, manufactures, and sells avionics for military and general aviation aircraft, drones, and electric
vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft. The Training segment currently provides military pilot training and expects
to provide commercial pilot training in the future. The Electric Air Mobility segment is developing a rotorcraft eVTOL for cargo and
passenger use for fixed route flights, on-demand trips, and cargo operations.
In
October 2021, Holdings entered into agreements and plans of merger (the “Merger Agreements”) with AIRO Drone, LLC (“AIRO
Drone”), Agile Defense, LLC (“Agile Defense”), Coastal Defense, Inc. (“Coastal Defense”), Jaunt Air Mobility,
LLC (“Jaunt”), and Aspen Avionics, Inc. (“Aspen Avionics”). Holdings also entered into an equity purchase agreement
(“Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Sky-Watch A/S (“Sky-Watch”). AIRO Drone, Agile Defense, Coastal Defense, Jaunt,
Aspen Avionics and Sky-Watch together represent the “Merger Entities.” Under the Merger Agreements and Equity Purchase Agreement,
the parties entered into a series of transactions in which Holdings acquired all of the equity of the Merger Entities. The acquisitions
of the Merger Entities by Holdings were completed between February and April 2022.
On
March 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Business
Combination Agreement, dated August 29, 2023, that certain Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated January 16,
2024, that certain Third Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated February 5, 2024, and that certain Fourth Amendment
to the Business Combination Agreement, dated June 24, 2024, with Kernel Group Holdings, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company
(“Kernel”), AIRO Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ParentCo”), Kernel Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo, AIRO Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of ParentCo, VKSS Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative for the stockholders of
Kernel and ParentCo and also in the capacity as Kernel’s sponsor, and Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, in the capacity as the
representative for the stockholders (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which a series of transactions
would have occurred that would have resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo with ParentCo becoming a
publicly listed company (collectively, the “BCA Transactions”). On August 5, 2024, the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”)
was terminated and, as a result, none of the BCA Transactions were effectuated.
On June 16, 2025, the
Company completed its initial public offering of 6.9
million shares of its common stock (the “IPO”), which included an additional 0.9
million shares of common stock pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at an
initial public offering price of $ 10.00
per share. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “AIRO” on June 13, 2025. The net
proceeds to AIRO from the IPO, after deducting $ 7.5
million of underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance costs paid were $ 61.5
million.
Consolidation
and Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including
Old AGI, Inc. f/k/a AIRO Group, Inc. (“AIRO Group”), AIRO Drone, Agile Defense, Jaunt, Sky-Watch, Coastal Defense, and Aspen
Avionics. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results. Certain information and disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s final prospectus,
dated June 12, 2025, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
on June 16, 2025 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the IPO. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements as of that date.
The
results for the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim period.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
March 7, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-1.7 reverse stock split (“Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock. The Stock Split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s
issued and outstanding common stock, as well as the numbers of shares reserved and available for future issuance and underlying outstanding
options to purchase common stock. No fractional shares were distributed as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders were
entitled to a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. The Stock Split did not affect the par values per share or total authorized
common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements
have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this Stock Split.
8
Liquidity
and Management’s Plans
The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31. 2025, the Company had incurred recurring
losses from operations and negative cash flows, which raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. On
June 16, 2025, the Company completed its IPO of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds of $ 61.5
million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance costs paid of $ 7.5
million.
Management believes that the net proceeds from the IPO, together with existing
cash on hand, are sufficient to meet its obligations and fund planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date these
condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated.
As of June
30, 2025, the Company had cash and restricted cash of $ 40.5
million of which $ 0.2
million was either restricted or was designated to only being used for Sky-Watch operations and working capital of $ 12.6
million. Based on its current operating plan and available liquidity, management believes that the Company has sufficient
cash and resources to meet its obligations and continue its operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the
financial statements.
The Company is
opportunistically pursuing additional capital through equity or debt financing to support growth initiatives. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
These judgments, estimates and assumptions are used to determine litigation and claims and other asset and liability amounts. The Company
bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience along with other pertinent information available at the time the estimate
is made. However, future events are subject to change and the estimates and judgments may require adjustments. Actual results could differ
from these estimates and these differences may be material.
Business
Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
The
Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is measured as
the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. While
the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Examples of estimates and assumptions in
valuing certain of the intangible assets and goodwill the Company has acquired include, but are not limited to, future expected cash
flows from acquired developed technologies, customer relationships, and tradenames. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur
that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
The
authoritative guidance allows a measurement period of the purchase price allocation that ends when the entity has obtained all relevant
information about facts that existed at the acquisition date, and that cannot exceed one year from the date of acquisition. As a result,
during the measurement period the Company may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with
the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that it identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon
conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever comes
first, any subsequent adjustments will be recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Where
the purchase of an entity or net assets does not meet the definition of a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset
acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired on a relative fair value basis, and
no goodwill is recognized in the transaction. Direct costs for asset acquisitions are generally considered part of the purchase price.
9
Business
Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash is maintained with financial institutions and the composition and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Deposits at
any time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not
require collateral for accounts receivable. A large portion of the Company’s sales result in partial prepayments prior to shipment
from customers. Otherwise, customer invoices generally have payment terms of net 30 days and do not have a significant financing component.
The
Company’s operational structure includes an existing operating business and early-stage businesses in emerging and developing markets
that are concentrated in an industry characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements, and evolving regulatory
requirements and industry standards. Any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services, or any failure
by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer requirements,
or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and
operating results.
The
Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on
sales to a relatively small number of customers. In the future, these customers may decide not to purchase the Company’s products,
may purchase fewer products than in previous years, or may alter their purchasing patterns. Further, the amount of revenue attributable
to any single customer or customer concentration generally may fluctuate in any given period. In addition, a decline in the production
levels of one or more of the Company’s major customers could reduce revenue. The loss of one or more key customers, a reduction
in sales to any key customer or the Company’s inability to attract new significant customers could negatively impact revenue and
adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Cash
Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash
equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Restricted
Cash
The Company had $ 0.2 million in restricted cash
as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, restricted cash was primarily deposits from a customer
contract that have been placed in an escrow account to be released upon shipment of orders.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are reported on the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets at the gross outstanding amount adjusted for a provision for credit losses. The Company determines
the provision for credit losses by regularly evaluating expected loss as well as individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s
financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company provided
a provision for credit losses of $ 0.1 million for amounts that may ultimately be uncollectible. Accounts receivable are written off when
deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
10
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is primarily determined based on standard cost and approximates actual cost
on a first-in, first-out basis. Work-in-process and finished goods include materials, labor and allocated overhead. The Company writes
down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the
estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Reductions to the carrying value of
inventory are charged to cost of revenue and a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established. Subsequent changes to facts or
circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the related inventory value. If actual market conditions are less favorable
than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Deferred
Offering Costs
The Company capitalizes
certain legal, professional, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity issuances as
deferred offering costs until such equity issuances are consummated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, $ 12.7
million of offering costs were recorded as a reduction to the net proceeds received from the IPO. As of December 31, 2024, the Company
had a balance of $ 0.8 million of deferred offering
costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company applies the requirements of the fair value measurements framework, which establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value and
requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit
price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement guidance also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined
for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy in which these assets and liabilities must be grouped based on significant levels
of inputs as follows:
Level
1:
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2:
Quoted
prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level
3:
Unobservable
inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the financial liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024:

There were no financial assets measured at fair

value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2025 nor during the year ended December 31, 2024.
11
Contingent
Consideration
As of December 31, 2024, contingent
consideration included an obligation assumed from the Jaunt acquisition that was contingent on future cash receipts (the “Jaunt Contingent
Arrangement”) and promissory notes issued in conjunction with the acquisitions of Agile Defense, Airo Drone, and Coastal Defense.
The
contingent consideration liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which there was no available quoted market prices
or principal markets. The inputs for this measurement were unobservable and were, therefore, classified as Level 3 inputs.
The Jaunt Contingent Arrangement
was valued using discounted cash flow models. As of December 31, 2024, the significant inputs included discount factors ranging from
21 %
to 45 %
and a 67 % initial public offering
(“IPO”) likelihood to arrive at a total fair value of $ 33.4
million.
The fair value of the contingent
consideration promissory notes issued to the former equity holders of Agile Defense, AIRO Drone and Coastal Defense totaled $ 9.4
million as of December 31, 2024. Valuations were based on a 67 %
probability of the IPO closing and a discount rate of 3 %
as of December 31, 2024 based on proximity to an estimated closing date.
As a result of the closing
of the IPO, the contingencies on the liabilities discussed above were resolved and the Company recorded the fair the value of the expected
settlement in shares of common stock and cash, resulting in income of $ 17.5 million being recorded to other income (expense), net. During
the three months ended June 30, 2025, 1.4 million shares were issued at a fair value of $ 10.00 per share and $ 3.3 million in cash was
paid related to these obligations. The remaining cash obligations totaling $ 5.3
million are reflected as accrued expenses on the Company’s
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. The Company funded $ 4.2
million of the remaining cash obligations in July 2025 and
agreed to fund the remaining $ 1.1
million to Carter Aviation Technologies LLC on September 10,
2025 through an unsecured promissory note, dated July 10, 2025.
Investor
Notes at fair value
The
Company has historically issued unsecured promissory notes to certain investors (“the Investor Notes”), which have
included various interest features in the form of both stock and cash and were contingently payable upon the closing of the IPO or
qualified financing. The Company has evaluated these features and determined that they do not meet the criteria for being accounted
as an embedded derivative under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. During the fourth quarter of 2024,
certain Investor Notes were amended such that when the Company performed a significance test as of the modification date in
accordance with ASC 470-50, the Company determined that the change in terms of these Investor Notes were substantially different
than the previous terms such that the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $ 10.5
million.
As
this significant modification created an election date for the fair value option and as the fair value election is applied on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, the Company chose to record these Investor Notes at fair value beginning on the modification date in October 2024 (“Investor
Notes at fair value”). Significant judgment was required in estimating the fair value of debt prior to the IPO. The fair value
estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but
are inherently uncertain.
To determine the fair
value of Investor Notes at fair value, the Company estimated stock pricing and incorporated the probability of both the IPO and
non-IPO scenario with the IPO probability being 67 %
as of December 31, 2024. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other
marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows. The Company used a present value model for the
expected cash payments, and a probability-weighted calculation to fair value the contingent interest shares to be paid. This
probability-weighted calculation incorporated expectations to complete the IPO as well as a probability derived from a lattice model
with key assumptions being equity volatility and discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”). Equity volatility rates
utilized were 70 %
and the DLOM rates selected were 10 %
for December 31, 2024. As described in Note 2, the terms of the Investor Notes at fair value were further amended and then partially
settled through the issuance of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the $ 3.8 million of Investor
Notes at fair value included unpaid cash amounts of which $ 2.1
million was repaid in July of 2025. During July 2025, the Company modified the remaining notes which totaled $ 1.7
million such that $ 1.8 million, inclusive of a $ 0.1 million fee, would be due by December 16, 2025 .
12
Warrant liability
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company entered into two warrant agreements whereby Libertas Funding, LLC
(“Libertas”) agreed to purchase an aggregate of 0.5 % of the fully diluted number of shares of common stock of the
Company immediately before the closing of the Company’s IPO at an exercise price of $ 0.02 per share (“Libertas
Warrants”). At inception, prior to the IPO, the Libertas Warrants did not meet the indexation criteria in ASC 815-40;
accordingly, the Libertas Warrants were recorded as a liability measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31,
2025, in conjunction with the Libertas Agreements, as defined in Note 2, the Company allocated the net proceeds to the $ 2.9 million
warrant liability with the residual proceeds then being allocated to the debt associated with the Libertas Agreements, which
resulted in the recording of a debt discount of $ 2.9 million.
Upon
the closing of the IPO, the number of shares issuable became fixed such that the Libertas Warrants became indexed to the Company’s
stock and were eligible to be classified in stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at
that time. As such, the Company reclassified the fair value of the warrant liability of $ 1.0
million as of June 12, 2025 to stockholders’ equity and
recognized $ 1.8 million
of income due to the change in fair value of the Libertas Warrants within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
To
determine the fair value of the Libertas Warrants, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes model to determine the common stock price on
a non-controlling, non-marketable value basis. Key assumptions included equity volatility rate of 70 %.
Debt
The Company modified certain
debt arrangements as of March 31, 2022. The debt was recorded at present value to estimate the fair value of the debt obligation as
of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Since the debt was fully accreted to its expected value during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the debt is no
longer measured at fair value on a recurring basis and was transferred out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
The changes in fair value of the Level 3 financial
liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

The
change in the fair value of the debt is included in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of
operations and represents the amortization of the debt discount. The change in the fair value of the Investor Notes at fair value is
included in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in the fair value
of the contingent consideration and warrant liability is included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate
fair value due to the short time to maturity. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value based on current
rates available to the Company.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability approach method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the condensed consolidated financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for net operating losses and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the 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 that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not
to be realized.
13
The Company evaluates
its tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the
tax positions will more-likely-than-not be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold are not recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Interest and penalties, if
applicable, are recorded in the period assessed as income tax expense. No
interest or penalties have been accrued for as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. While this event has no effect on the financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2025, we are currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided primarily utilizing
the straight-line method for condensed consolidated financial statement purposes at rates based on the following useful lives:

Additions,
improvements, and expenditures that significantly add to the productivity or extend the economic life of assets are capitalized. Any
amounts incurred as recurring expenditures or that do not extend or improve the economic life of the asset are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.
Goodwill is not amortized and is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company has selected October 1st as the date to perform its
annual impairment test. In the valuation of goodwill, management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows to be derived
from the Company’s business. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required
to record an impairment for these assets. Management may first evaluate qualitative factors to assess if it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and to determine if an impairment test is necessary. Management may
choose to proceed directly to the evaluation, bypassing the initial qualitative assessment. The impairment test involves comparing the
fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is allocated to its net book value, including goodwill. A goodwill impairment loss
would be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, however, the loss recognized should not
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. See Note 5 for additional considerations related to goodwill impairment
recorded in 2024.
Definite-lived
Intangible Assets
The
Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on each acquisition accounted for as a business combination and
allocates the purchase price of the acquired business to the respective net tangible and intangible assets. The Company determines the
appropriate useful life by performing an analysis of expected cash flows based on historical experience of the acquired businesses. Intangible
assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method which approximates the pattern in which the economic
benefits are consumed. The Company capitalizes third-party legal costs and filing fees, if any, associated with obtaining patents. Once
the patent asset has been placed in service, the Company amortizes these costs over the shorter of the asset’s legal life, generally
20 years from the initial filing date, or its estimated economic life using the straight-line method.
14
The
estimated useful lives for the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated
by the asset or asset group. If such evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the asset or the asset group is not recoverable,
any impairment loss would be equal to the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised products or services to its customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify
the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract, the rights of the parties are identified,
the contract has commercial terms, and collectibility of the contract consideration is probable.
For
certain sales, the Company has contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company
accounts for individual performance obligations separately, by allocating the contract’s total transaction price to each performance
obligation in an amount based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct good or service in the contract.
The Company determines the SSP based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions. Determining whether
products or services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require
significant judgment. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue
when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the
customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those services. The
Company’s contracts do not include highly variable components. The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections
can result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities). The costs
to obtain contracts, primarily commission expenses, are expensed when incurred.
Amounts
that are invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and revenues or deferred revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition
criteria have been met. A large portion of the Company’s sales result in partial prepayments prior to shipment from customers.
Otherwise customer invoices generally have payment terms of net 30 days and do not have a significant financing component.
The
Company’s revenues are derived from various sources: (i) avionics products consisting primarily of hardware with embedded firmware
sold to an authorized dealer network and avionics and global navigation satellite system technologies (“GNSS”) products sold
to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), (ii) research and development (“R&D”) projects, (iii) sales-based
royalties related to GNSS technology licensed to OEMs, (iv) consultation and training services related to aerial integration and close
air support providing the latest tactics, technique, and procedures (“TTP”) to incorporate contract close air support/intelligence
surveillance reconnaissance (“CCAS/ISR”) with video downlink systems into tactical operations, (v) technology and equipment
sales, (vi) mini unmanned aerial systems (“MUAS” or “commercial drones”) sales, including hardware, software,
training, support and product service, and (vii) drone services, including surveys, imaging, security, and other drone applications.
15
The
Company expenses costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.
In
general, revenue is disaggregated by segment and geography. See Note 11. Segment Information.
Product
Revenue
Product
revenue, which includes avionics, MUAS/commercial drones and other equipment sales, is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised
products to the customer in an amount that depicts the consideration the Company is entitled to for the related products. Product revenue
is recognized upon shipment or delivery and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.
Service
and Extended Warranty Revenue
Service
revenue includes drone services, support, training, consultations, and out-of-warranty repairs. Revenue from services rendered is recognized
over time in amounts that correspond directly with the value to the customer when performance is completed. Support revenue is recognized
on a straight line basis over the support period, which is generally one year.
Extended
warranties are service-type warranties and are typically sold under separate contracts. Revenue for those extended warranties is recognized
over the contractual service period, which is typically two or three years.
Research
and Development Contracts
Revenue
from engineering development projects is recognized over a period of time based on the input method and is measured by the percentage
of total labor and materials cost incurred to date to estimated total labor and materials cost at completion for each contract. The input
method of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs, and profits and in assigning the amounts
to accounting periods; as a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings as reported and actual cash received by the
Company during any reporting period.
Sales-based
Royalties
Revenue
for sales-based royalties is recognized at a point in time as subsequent sales occur.
The
following table summarizes the revenue recognition based on time periods:

million and $ 10.4 million,
respectively. The majority of contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue through 2025. The Company had no
significant contract assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the
Company recognized $1.6 million and $ 8.7
million, respectively, in revenue previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue includes labor cost and direct material cost, including freight and duties. Indirect production costs comprising of consumables,
cost of sales freight, quality related costs and production maintenance costs are also included in cost of revenue.
Shipping
and Handling
Shipping
charges billed to customers are included in revenue and related costs are included in cost of revenue.
Research

Research
and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Product
Warranty
Drone
Product Warranty
The
Company provides a one-year warranty on drone sales. Estimated future warranty obligations related to those products are recorded as
a component of cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the time of sale.
Avionics
Product Warranty
The
Company establishes warranty reserves based on estimates of avionics product warranty return rates over two or three years depending
on the product and the related warranty period and the expected costs to repair or to replace the avionics products under warranty. The
warranty provision is recorded as a component of cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company
does not offer returns unless special circumstances exist and the return is approved by the Company.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the grant-date estimated fair value of the awards. Options and
restricted stock awards may be granted as time-based awards, performance-based awards or combinations of the time-based and performance-based
awards. The Company expenses the fair value of its options to employees and non-employees on a straight-line basis over the associated
service period for time-based awards, which is generally the vesting period. The performance-based awards begin their period of ratable
vesting at the time that the Company determines that the achievement of the performance thresholds is probable. The Company accounts
for forfeitures as they occur and does not estimate forfeitures at the time of grant. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over
the vesting period will be for only those options that vest.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) generally represents all changes in the equity of a business except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders.
Unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax are included in the Company’s components of
comprehensive income (loss), which are excluded from net loss.
Lease
Accounting
At
contract inception, the Company determines whether the contract is, or contains, a lease and whether the lease should be classified as
an operating or a financing lease and reassesses that conclusion if the contract is modified. Operating leases are recorded in operating
lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease liability, current and lease liability, noncurrent on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets. The Company did not have any finance leases during the periods presented.
17
The
Company recognizes operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease
payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease ROU asset is reduced for tenant incentives, if any, and excludes any initial
direct costs incurred, if any. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date
to determine the present value of future payments and the appropriate lease classification. In determining the inputs to the incremental
borrowing rate calculation, the Company makes judgments about the value of the leased asset, its credit rating and the lease term including
the probability of its exercising options to extend or terminate the underlying lease. The Company defines the initial lease term to
include renewal options determined to be reasonably certain. If the Company determines the option to extend or terminate is reasonably
certain, it is included in the determination of lease assets and liabilities. The Company reassesses the lease term if and when a significant
event or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the Company, such as construction of significant leasehold improvements
that are expected to have economic value when the option becomes exercisable.
The
Company recognizes a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and the Company classifies all cash payments
within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The
Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to not combine for all asset classes. In addition,
the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less of all asset classes.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is determined using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is determined using the
weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares (representing the hypothetical number of incremental shares issuable
under the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of outstanding RSUs) during the period using the treasury stock method.
The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes securities that would have an antidilutive effect on net income per share.

and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Debt
Discounts
Debt issuance costs are presented as a discount
to the related debt and are amortized over the term of the related loan for which the fees were incurred using the straight-line method,
which approximates the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unamortized debt discount totaled $ 0.0 million
and $ 0.3 million, respectively.
Foreign
Currency
The functional
currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary is its local currency. As such, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S.
dollars at the exchange rates on the date of consolidation and related revenues and expenses are generally translated at average
exchange rates prevailing during the period included in results of operations. Adjustments resulting from foreign currency
translation are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Losses from foreign currency transactions were not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This ASU is intended
to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information
in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve
the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU’s amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2025. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard for annual financial statements that have not yet
been issued or made available for issuance. Adoption is either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company will adopt this ASU on a
prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the annual consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
On
January 6, 2025 and November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying
the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”) and ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income
— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”),
respectively. ASU 2025-01 and ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes
to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance
is to be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively
to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting
this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
On May 12, 2025, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting
Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity”. This guidance revises ASC 805 on identifying the accounting
acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (VIE). The ASU is intended to improve
comparability between business combinations and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
On May 15, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, “Compensation
– Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-based Consideration
Payable to a Customer.” This guidance clarifies ASC 606 and ASC 718 on the accounting for share-based payment awards that
are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing
guidance, primarily by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for
service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. In addition, the ASU clarifies that the guidance in
ASC 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer “regardless of
whether an award’s grant date has occurred” (as determined under ASC 718). Entities can use either a modified retrospective
or a retrospective method to adopt the ASU’s amendments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its condensed
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
On July 30, 2025, the
FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable
and Contract Assets.” This guidance amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to
the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions
accounted for under ASC 606. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.

Revolving
Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt
Revolving
Lines of Credit
In February 2020,
Aspen Avionics entered into a Loan and Security Agreement for an asset-based loan facility (the “Facility”) with
Crestmark, a Division of Pathward (formerly known as Metabank), with a maximum advance limit of $ 2.5
million. The Facility was due on demand, carried variable interest at the greater of 9 %
or prime plus 4.25 %
and was collateralized by substantially all assets of Aspen Avionics. In October 2024, Aspen Avionics terminated the Facility and
repaid the Facility in full.
In November 2018,
Coastal Defense obtained two variable rate non-disclosable revolving lines of credit of up to $ 0.5
million and $ 0.2
million, due on demand, from First Citizens Community Bank (“FCCB”). These arrangements were collateralized by aircraft
security agreements, assignments of life insurance, an assignment of a deposit account, and commercial security agreements dated
November 15, 2018, and all associated financing statements. Interest was initially set at the
prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus 0.50 percentage points. Commencing in 2022, the Company was in default on
these facilities, resulting in an additional 4% in interest per annum. The annual interest rate was 12% as of December 31,
2024 . Jeffrey F. Parker, Coastal Defense’s former Vice-President and Treasurer, and stockholder of Holdings; Kenneth
Parker, stockholder of Holdings; and Kyle Stanbro, Coastal Defense’s President and stockholder of Holdings; guaranteed these
notes. As part of the Coastal Defense acquisition, the maturity dates of these notes were modified to be in 2022 as opposed to the
original maturity date in 2069 .
No withdrawals were made during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2025, the lines of credit with FCCB were fully repaid and closed. The total amount outstanding on the lines of
credit as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 0
and $ 0.1
million, respectively.
The
two lines of credit with FCCB contained certain financial covenants. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not in
compliance with these financial covenants. However, the Company entered into a series of forbearance agreements with FCCB, under which
FCCB agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies arising from such noncompliance through March 31, 2025, subject to the Company’s
adherence to the terms of said forbearance agreements, which were satisfied at the time of repayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Bridge
Loans
From May 2022 through June
30, 2025, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes, with no collateral or guarantees, to third parties for purposes of funding its
operations. The aggregate principal balance of these notes was $ 3.0
million as of June 30, 2025 for which $ 0.2 million was due 30 days from the closing of the IPO (“Closing Date”) and remaining
$ 2.8 million is due 190 days from the Closing Date. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 0.3 million shares related
to these Investor Notes and recorded interest expense of $ 2.9 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the notes below except for $ 0.1
million, were amended such that interest would be payable in shares of common stock at the “Closing
Date” whereby the number of shares would be based on the IPO price and the principal amounts due would be payable within the
same number days subsequent to the closing of the IPO as stated in the prior amended note agreements.
Bridge Loans were primarily
made up of the following as of December 31, 2024:
●
Notes totaling $ 0.8
million accrue
an interest charge equal to 100% of the principal amount, payable in shares of common stock based on the IPO price, with 110% of the principal
paid 190 days following the Closing Date plus 12 %
interest per annum accruing from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.2
million carry the
same terms as above except only 100% of the principal is paid 190 days following the Closing Date .
●
Notes totaling $ 1.0
million, as amended, accrue
an interest charge equal to 110% of the principal amount, payable in shares of common stock based on the IPO price, with 110% of the
principal paid 190 days following the Closing Date plus 12 %
interest per annum accruing from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.1
million which include a one-time
interest charge equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, contingently payable in shares of common stock immediately prior to
the Closing Date, with 110% of the principal to be paid on the maturity date, which is 30 days following the closing of the IPO and
accruing interest at a rate of 12 %
per annum from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.5
million accrue
an interest charge equal to 50% of the principal amount, payable in shares of common stock based on the IPO price with 100% of the
principal paid 190 days following the Closing Date plus 12 %
interest per annum accruing from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.1
million accrue
an interest charge equal to 150% of the principal amount, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock based on the IPO price,
with the principal to be paid 190 days following the Closing Date and accruing interest at a rate of 12 %
interest per annum from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.1
million accrue
an interest charge equal to 125% of the principal amount, payable in shares of common stock on the Closing Date, with 100% of the
principal paid 190 days following the Closing Date plus 12 %
interest per annum accruing from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.1
million accrue
an interest charge equal to 100% of the principal amount, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock based on the IPO price,
with 120% of the principal to be paid 190 days following the Closing Date and accruing interest at a rate of 15 %
interest per annum from the Closing Date.
●
Notes totaling $ 0.1
million, as amended, due
at the earlier of April 30, 2025 or 30 days subsequent to the IPO, with 120% contingent stock premium, contingently payable in
shares of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the Closing Date with an interest rate of 15 %
per annum from either the date of the Note through April 30, 2025 or from the Closing Date to 30 days subsequent to the Closing
Date. This
Note was amended in April to include 130% principal with a revised maturity date of June 30, 2025 .
In July 2025, $ 0.2
million of the $ 3.0
million third party obligations of the Notes as of June 30, 2025 was repaid.

First
Citizens Community Bank
Between
November 15, 2018 and May 15, 2019, Coastal Defense entered into three agreements which totaled $ 3.0
million with FCCB which had an outstanding of $ 0.2
million as of December 31, 2024. These arrangements were collateralized by aircraft security agreements, assignments of life
insurance, an assignment of a deposit account, a commercial security agreement, and all associated financing statements. As of
December 31, 2024, Coastal Defense was in default on the debt service coverage ratio covenant, and the term note was due on demand
and is shown as a component of “Current maturities of debt” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Civil actions
were filed against Coastal Defense and individual guarantors in the Tioga County Court, State of Pennsylvania, in July 2023. The
claimant, FCCB, alleged that payment under certain promissory notes is due, and FCCB sought recovery of the outstanding amounts.
FCCB obtained judgments against all named defendants. Jeffrey F. Parker, Coastal Defense’s former Vice President and Treasurer

Management
Carveout Plan
In December 2021, the Company adopted the 2021
Management Carveout Plan (the “Aspen Carveout Plan”), which establishes a benefit pool for designated employees and consultants
payable upon the occurrence of a change in control, which is defined as two steps consisting of 1) the closing of the merger with Holdings
and 2) the IPO of Holdings or merger with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) by a specified expiration date, which was extended through June 30, 2025. The amount to be
paid as benefits under the Aspen Carveout Plan are determined based upon percentages of the total net proceeds calculated at the closing
of the IPO or a SPAC merger, ranging from 0 % to 5 %. The net proceeds are calculated as the net sum of cash and the fair
value of equity securities available for distribution to the stockholders of the Company after all liabilities, exclusive of the subordinated
convertible notes or other loans from the stockholders and transaction costs are paid, capped at $ 2.3 billion. The benefit payments to
the participants in the Aspen Carveout Plan are to be made in the form or forms of payment and in the same proportions as the consideration
paid by the purchaser which were estimated to be $ 2.0 million in stock and $ 0.9 million in cash.
On October 6, 2023,
the Company signed a Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Satisfaction of Covenant Agreement, whereby all of the holders agreed to
convert $ 0.8
million of the cash amount owed to them under the Aspen Carveout Plan into 20,010
shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing of the BCA Transactions, with the remaining amount of $ 0.1
million owed to such holders to be paid at the closing of the BCA Transactions. In addition, the Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Satisfaction of Covenant Agreement stipulated that the $ 2.0 million in stock would be
settled through the issuance of 51,309 shares.
On June 30, 2025, the Company amended the Aspen
Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Satisfaction of Covenant Agreement to stipulate that the terms in the original agreement that were
contingent upon the BCA Transactions would be completed within 15 business days of the IPO and identified the underlying recipients
of the 71,319 shares related
to the Aspen Carveout Plan. The Company recognized $ 1.7
million of stock compensation expense based on the June 30, 2025 modification date and accrued $ 0.1
million in conjunction with the Aspen Carve-out Plan. During July 2025, the Company issued 71,319
shares of common stock and funded the remaining $ 0.1

As
a result of the BCA Transactions being terminated in August 2024 and the continued delays in securing financing, the Company determined
it appropriate to test the fair value of each reporting unit for goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2024 for all of its reporting
units except Avionics as no goodwill had been allocated to this reporting unit. Management determined that the fair value of the Drones
reporting unit substantially exceeded its respective carrying value. The Electric Air Mobility and Training reporting unit fair values
indicated goodwill impairment as detailed below.

Estimates
and assumptions varied between each reporting unit depending on the facts and circumstances specific to that reporting unit. The discount
rate for each reporting unit is influenced by general market conditions as well as factors specific to the reporting unit. The fair value
of the reporting units for which the Company performed quantitative impairment tests was estimated using an income approach, which incorporates
the use of the discounted cash flow method. Projections used require the use of significant estimates and assumptions specific to the
reporting unit as well as those based on general economic conditions. Factors specific to each reporting unit include revenue growth,
profit margins, terminal value growth rates, capital expenditures projections, assumed tax rates, discount rates and other assumptions
deemed reasonable by management. For the 2024 impairment test, the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) discount rates
the Company used for its reporting units was 30 %- 35 % and the terminal value growth rate was 4 % . The terminal value growth rate represents
the expected long-term growth rate for the Company’s industry, which incorporates the type of services each reporting unit provides
as well as global economic conditions. Other factors influencing the revenue growth rates include the nature of the services the reporting
unit provides for its customers, the geographic locations in which the reporting unit conducts business and the maturity of the reporting
unit.
Specific
to the Electric Air Mobility segment’s projections as of September 30, 2024, projected revenue was revised to include projected
aircraft production timing for the Jaunt Journey in 2031 and a downscaled cargo version of the Jaunt Journey in 2028. Projected revenue
in years 1 and 2 of commercialization of the downscaled cargo version of the Jaunt Journey as of September 30, 2024 were increased as
compared to prior revenue estimates from the Company’s prior year testing date of October 1, 2023 for the same two-year period.
Projected revenue in years 1 and 2 of commercialization of the Jaunt Journey as of September 30, 2024 also increased as compared to prior
revenue estimates from the Company’s prior year testing date of October 1, 2023 for the same two-year period.
Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) projections as of September 30, 2024 were developed using
revised estimates of manufacturing costs, production hours per unit, learning curves and subsequent efficiencies, and operating costs.
25
Mid-term
and long-term EBITDA projections at maximum capacity have not significantly changed compared to the Company’s prior year testing
date of October 1, 2023, but the shifting and corresponding discounting of these projections resulted in a significant decrease in the
fair value of the Electric Air Mobility segment, which indicated impairment.
As
to the degree of uncertainty associated with the Company’s assumptions, the Company believes its long-term projected revenue is
reasonable given a sales price supported by non-binding letters of intent and a relatively small number of units. There is a higher degree
of uncertainty in projected EBITDA, as compared to projected revenue as projected EBITDA includes estimates as to future labor and material
costs, efficiency rates as to the number of production hours required over time, and synergies.
The
most sensitive factor in the Company’s analysis was the WACC discount rate. As of September 30, 2024, a 33 % WACC discount rate
was applied to the Electric Air Mobility segment, which is fairly consistent with the 35 % WACC discount rate used as of the Company’s
prior year testing date of October 1, 2023. The 200 basis-point decrease from prior year was deemed appropriate due to more conservative
projected long term EBITDA margins as compared to sales in the prior year, regulatory harmonization that has occurred for the industry
between the Federal Aviation Association, Transport Canada Civil Aviation, and European Union Aviation Safety Agency, advances in electric
propulsion, battery density, and autonomous systems which lower remaining technical development risk. While these factors reduce risk
to the Electric Air Mobility segment, a larger decrease in the WACC was not deemed appropriate due to delays in funding for development
efforts and overall implementation risk that remains similar to October 1, 2023. As to the sensitivity of the WACC rate, another hypothetical
100-basis-point increase in the WACC discount rate would have yielded an additional $ 46.0 million in goodwill impairment.
The
Company believes the factors considered in the impairment analysis are reasonable; however, significant changes in any one of its
assumptions could produce a different result and result in additional impairment charges that could be material to its condensed
consolidated financial statements. For example, the fair value of the Electric Air Mobility segment could be adversely affected and
may result in an additional impairment of goodwill if this reporting unit is not able to advance the development of its aircraft and
other products, obtain regulatory approvals, and launch and commercialize its products at scale, if the estimated production costs
are significantly higher than estimated or if the WACC discount rate is increased.
Specific
to the Training segment’s projections as of September 30, 2024, the Company noted a significant decrease in sales and gross margins
as a result of not being able to meet contractual demands due to delays in the funding of aircraft. In prior years, government intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) aircraft contracts did not require that the aircraft be able to employ weapons. As
those contracts have aged-out, the new requirements for the re-competitions require assets that have the ability to employ training munitions
and have been approved by the government to do so. Coastal Defense does not possess aircraft that can achieve this requirement; thus,
the Company has either not been awarded or chose not to bid on certain contracts. The projected revenue and margins were revised to include
the timing of projected aircraft and investments to be made in flight schools in the short-term (between 2025 and 2028) and then the
acquisition of additional aircraft beginning in years after 2029.
EBITDA
projections as of September 30, 2024 did not significantly change compared to the Company’s prior year testing date of October
1, 2023, and the Company does not anticipate any changes until the Company is able to make more significant investments in aircraft,
and at which time the Company can better leverage its operating expenses. At that point, the Company anticipates that mid-term and long-term
EBITDA margins would increase. The shifting and corresponding discounting of these projections resulted in a significant decrease in
the fair value of the Training segment, which indicated impairment.
As
to the degree of uncertainty associated with the Company’s assumptions, the Company believes its short-term projected revenue is
reasonable given its history with military contract practices and the historical results of flight schools, while the Company’s
long-term projected revenue is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty. To mitigate this risk, a 30 % WACC discount rate was applied
to these projections which was consistent with the Company’s prior year testing date of October 1, 2023. As to the sensitivity
of the WACC rate, another hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in the WACC discount rate would have yielded an additional $ 3.4 million
in goodwill impairment.
The
Company believes the factors considered in the impairment analysis are reasonable; however, significant changes in any one of its
assumptions could produce a different result and result in additional impairment charges that could be material to its condensed
consolidated financial statements. For example, the fair value of the Training segment could be adversely affected and may result in
an additional impairment of goodwill if this reporting unit is not able to purchase the needed aircraft, if the estimated costs for
managing the flight schools are significantly higher than estimated or if the WACC discount rate is increased.

Deferred
Compensation
The Company has deferred salary arrangements with
various employees that allow for a portion of their compensation to be deferred and paid upon a single outside investment of no less than
$ 25 million, or such earlier time as the Company determines in its sole discretion that sufficient funds are available to commence payment
of the deferred amounts. Employees must be actively employed, including approved leave, or if a consultant, providing services to the
Company, to be eligible to receive such deferred compensation. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the accrued deferred compensation was $ 9.7 million and $ 11.2 million, respectively.
In October 2023 and July 2024, the Company signed
various deferred compensation agreements whereby the holders agreed to convert $ 7.8 million of the principal owed to them into 195,582
shares of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the closing of the BCA Transactions, with the remaining principal of $ 0.9
million owed to such holders to be paid at the closing of the BCA Transactions.
The Company issued 46,017
shares of common stock and used proceeds of $ 0.2
million to satisfy the obligations of certain holders under the Jaunt merger agreement at the closing of the IPO. The Company recorded $ 1.4 million of other income during the three months
ended June 30, 2025 related to the common stock issued to partially settle these obligations.
During August 2025,
the Company signed amendments with various employees such that remaining amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2025 will be settled
through the issuance of 0.2
million shares during the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and with cash payments of $ 0.9
million to be made during the second half of 2025.

Commitments
and Contingencies
Consulting
Agreement
In
October 2020, the Company entered into an agreement for market analysis and business strategy consulting. The services were performed
in prior periods. The agreement states a fee of $ 0.5 million for the services, due upon the completion of the IPO, SPAC merger, financing
raise of at least $ 100 million or an acquisition of at least 50 % of the equity of the Company. The fee for these consulting services
was included in “Accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contingent
Fee Arrangement
In June 2022, the
Company executed a previously arranged contingent fee agreement with New Generation Aerospace, Inc. (“NGA”) to
compensate NGA for past services rendered and future services rendered through December 31, 2022 related to the acquisitions and
financing of the Merger Entities in the amount of $ 1.5
million (the “Contingent Fee”). The Contingent Fee is payable upon the closing of the IPO. On October 2, 2023, the
Company signed an Amended and Restated Success Fee Agreement, whereby NGA agreed to convert $ 1.4
million of the amounts owed to it into 33,995
shares of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the closing of the BCA Transactions, with the remaining amount of
$ 0.1
million owed to such holders to be paid at the closing of the BCA Transactions.
In conjunction with
the IPO, the Company recorded $ 0.3
million of stock compensation and accrued $ 0.1
million in cash due to NGA. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 33,995
shares of common stock. The Company funded $ 0.1
million in July 2025 to fully satisfy obligations under this agreement.
Contingent
Financing Fee Arrangement
In September 2024, the Company executed a financing
advisor agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as compensation for assistance with the IPO which totals the greater of $ 2 million and
7 % of the gross proceeds in conjunction with the IPO (the “Cantor Contingent Financing Fee”). In conjunction with the IPO, the Company recorded $ 4.8 million related to the Cantor Contingent Financing Fee as an offset to gross proceeds.
KDC
IPO Payment Agreement
In April 2022, Aspen Avionics
and KippsDeSanto & Co. (“KDC”) entered into an amendment (the “KDC IPO Payment Agreement”) to the parties’
prior engagement letter dated August 7, 2018 (the “KDC Agreement”), pursuant to which Aspen Avionics engaged KDC to provide
financial advisory services in connection with AIRO’s potential acquisition of Aspen Avionics. Pursuant to the terms of the KDC
IPO Payment Agreement upon the closing of the IPO, Aspen Avionics is obligated to cause a one-time, final payment of $ 1.0
million to be made to KDC in satisfaction of Aspen Avionics obligations under the KDC Agreement. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company
recorded an accrual of $ 1.0
million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was funded in July 2025.
Non-binding
Letters of Intent
In
November 2023, the Company signed non-binding letters of intent to acquire two businesses for the Training segment including flight
training schools. The parties have undertaken due diligence to determine whether a binding purchase agreement will be negotiated.
The total anticipated purchase price for the acquisitions is expected to range from $ 5.1 million to $ 7.7 million, which would be
paid in a combination of cash and the issuance of common stock.
28
Litigation
A civil action was
filed against Old AGI, Inc. in the Circuit Court of Cook County, State of Illinois in February 2022 (the “2022
Lawsuit”). The claimant alleged that an agreement for certain services entered into in March 2020 was breached and resulted in
damages to claimant. This case was dismissed on July 5, 2022. However, the court allowed the claimant to amend its complaint. On
August 5, 2022, the claimant filed its amended complaint, and the Company filed its response on October 12, 2022. The parties have
engaged in discovery and mandatory arbitration. The arbitration resulted in an award in favor of the Company, which was contested by
the claimant. On December 19, 2024, the Circuit Court denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment. In March 2025, the
Company agreed to settle Mr. Perrin’s individual claims in the lawsuit as described below.
Civil
actions were filed against Coastal Defense and individual guarantors in the Tioga County Court, State of Pennsylvania, in July 2023.
The claimant, First Citizens Community Bank (“FCCB”), alleged that payment under certain promissory notes is due, and the claimant is seeking recovery of the outstanding
amounts. The claimant obtained judgments against all named defendants. On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
with FCCB providing for a full and unconditional release of all claims related to the underlying debt upon completion of payments totaling
approximately $ 0.2 million. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had fulfilled its payment obligations under the agreement, and the parties had
fully and unconditionally released each other from and all claims/liabilities, or obligations related to the underlying debt.
A
civil action was filed against Holdings, AIRO Group, AIRO Group (Illinois), AIRO Drone, Agile Defense, Joseph Burns, Chirinjeev
Kathuria and John Uczekaj in Chancery Court in Delaware in September 2023. The claimant, Robert Perrin, one of the Company’s
stockholders, alleged that the these entities failed to pay him for services allegedly rendered under an Employment Agreement with
AIRO Group (Illinois), that the individual defendants have breached their fiduciary duties as members of the Company’s board
of directors, and that defendants violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. On November 17, 2023, the Company filed a motion to
dismiss. In response, the claimant filed an Amended Complaint on February 22, 2024 in which he dropped AIRO Group (Illinois) as a
defendant, dropped the breach of contract claim and added a wage claim under Delaware statute. On April 5, 2024, the Company filed a
Partial Answer and Affirmative Defenses as well as a Partial Motion to Dismiss. In response, the claimant filed a Second Amended
Complaint on May 16, 2024 in which he dropped the wage claim under Delaware statute and added a civil conspiracy claim against all
defendants. The Company filed an Amended Answer on November 15, 2024. In March 2025, the Company agreed to settle Mr. Perrin’s
individual claims in the lawsuit for $ 0.8
million, which will be paid over six quarters beginning the quarter ending September 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had
recorded the $ 0.5
million and $ 0.3 million in current maturities of debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities, respectively.
Aside from the above matters,
the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. From time to time,
the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Legal
contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss or the measurement of a loss
can be complex. The Company will accrue losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable.
11.
Segment
Information
The
Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting
used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the chief executive officer. The Company will continue to
reevaluate reportable and operating segments. The Company manages its business primarily based upon four operating segments: Avionics,
Drones, Electric Air Mobility and Training. In accordance with the segment reporting accounting standard, the Company evaluated the economic
similarity of its operating segments and determined that each of these operating segments represents a reportable segment.
29
The
Company has determined that each reportable segment represents a reporting unit and, in accordance with ASC 350, each reporting unit
requires an allocation of goodwill.
●
Avionics:
This segment develops, manufactures, and sells avionics and GPS sensors for the GA, UAS and eVTOL market segments. The Company’s
advanced avionics products are focused on GA aftermarket, OEM display, integration and connected panel solutions.

Government
Regulation
The
Company is subject to various local, state, federal and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacturing,
sale and distribution of its products, systems and services, and it is the Company’s policy to comply with the applicable laws
in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business. Regulations include but are not limited to those related to import and export controls,
corruption, bribery, environment, government procurement, wireless communications, competition, product safety, workplace health and
safety, employment, labor and data privacy.
Drones
Because
it contracts with the Department of Defense (“DoD”) and other agencies of the U.S. government—and, for certain of those contracts, requires access to classified
information—the Company’s Drones segment is subject to extensive federal statutes and regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, the Truthful Cost and Pricing statute, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the False Claims Act, and the regulations implementing
the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (“NISPOM”). The NISPOM regulations establish the security requirements
applicable to classified contracts and programs, facility security clearances, and personnel security clearances. The federal government
audits and reviews contractors’ performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost accounting systems and practices, and compliance
with applicable laws, regulations and standards. Like most government contractors, the Drones segment’s contracts are audited and
reviewed regularly by federal agencies, including the Defense Contract Management Agency and the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
In
addition, the Drones segment is subject to industry-specific regulations due to the nature of the products and services it provides.
For example, certain aspects of its business are subject to further regulation by additional U.S. government authorities, including:
(i) the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), which regulates airspace for all air vehicles in the U.S. National Airspace System (“NAS”); (ii) the National Telecommunications and Information Administration
and the Federal Communications Commission, which regulate the wireless communications upon which its unmanned aircraft system (“UAS”) depend in the U.S.; (iii) the
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the U.S. Department of State, which administers the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
that regulate the export of controlled technical data, defense articles and defense services and (iv) the Bureau of Industry and Security
of the U.S. Department of Commerce, which regulates matters relating to U.S. national security and technology.
Electric
Air Mobility
A
transport category type certification is the highest level in safety provided by the Civil Aviation Authorities. Jaunt intends to certify
under CAR 529, single pilot IFR (instrument flight rules) and comply with Category Enhanced of EASA SC-VTOL-01 by:
●
using System Safety Assessment processes (Aerospace Recommended Practice “ARP” 4761 with ARP 4754A) that are industry standard
for commercial transport aircraft (Exposure Draft (ED) 79A);
●
designing flight critical systems to meet the requirements of a probability of catastrophic failure of less than 10-9 per flight hour
(less than once every billion flight hours);
●
developing robust software design processes to meet Development Assurance Level A for functions that could exhibit catastrophic failures;
and
●
meeting requirements for bird strike, fatigue and damage tolerance, lightning strike, fire protection, and designing and incorporating
elements for crashworthiness right from conceptual stage.
In
the near-term, the efforts of the Electric Air Mobility segment will focus on obtaining FAA certification of its aircraft and engaging
with key decision makers in the cities in the United States in which it anticipates its aircraft and urban air mobility (“UAM”) service will initially operate.
Its aircraft will be required to comply with regulations governing aircraft design, production and airworthiness. In the United States,
this primarily includes regulations put forth by the FAA and the Department of Transportation (“DOT”). Outside the United
States, similar requirements are generally administered by the national civil aviation and transportation authorities of each country.
Avionics
Aspen Avionics designs and manufactures equipment under worldwide aviation
regulatory agency approvals. These include but are not limited to FAA, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), Transport
Canada Civil Aviation (“TCCA”), and National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (“ENAC (Brazil)”) regulations. These
govern the design test, certification, installation, and manufacturing of Aspen’s equipment.
32
The
FAA regulates the manufacture, repair and operation of all aircraft and aircraft parts operated in the United States. Its regulations
are designed to ensure that all aircraft and aviation equipment are continuously maintained in proper condition to ensure safe operation
of the aircraft. Similar rules apply in other countries. All aircraft must be maintained under a continuous condition monitoring program
and must periodically undergo thorough inspection and maintenance. The inspection, maintenance and repair procedures for the various
types of aircraft and equipment are prescribed by regulatory authorities and can be performed only by certified repair facilities utilizing
certified technicians. Certification and conformance is required prior to installation of a part on an aircraft. Aircraft operators must
maintain logs concerning the utilization and condition of aircraft engines, life-limited engine parts and airframes. In addition, the
FAA requires that various maintenance routines be performed on aircraft engines, some engine parts, and airframes at regular intervals
based on cycles or flight time. Engine maintenance must also be performed upon the occurrence of certain events, such as foreign object
damage in an aircraft engine or the replacement of life-limited engine parts. Such maintenance usually requires that an aircraft engine
be taken out of service. Aspen Avionics’ operations may in the future be subject to new and more stringent regulatory requirements.
In that regard, Aspen Avionics closely monitors the FAA and industry trade groups in an attempt to understand how possible future regulations
might impact it. The Company’s businesses that sell defense products directly to the U.S. government or for use in systems delivered to the U.S.
government can be subject to various laws and regulations that govern pricing and other factors.

The Company entered into a $ 12.9 million promissory
note in conjunction with the acquisition of Sky-Watch in 2022. The $ 12.9 million promissory note was fully repaid during the year
ended December 31, 2024.
As detailed in Note 1, the Sky-Watch earnout
liability was originally payable up to $ 6.5 million, of which up to a maximum of $ 3.0 million was payable on a dollar-for-dollar basis
on revenue earned within the first two-year anniversary of the acquisition and $ 3.5 million would become due and payable if and only
if Sky-Watch earns a minimum of $ 13.8 million in revenue during the period from the acquisition date through June 2024. In December 2022,
the Equity Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the second earnout amount to $ 7.5 million and to extend the earnout period to include
the full fiscal year periods of 2022 through 2024. In March 2023, the Equity Purchase Agreement was further amended to add a third earnout
of $ 4.0 million if revenue during the full fiscal year periods of 2022 through 2024 reaches $ 17.0 million with the earnouts payable by
May 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the earnout liability was recorded to the full amount owed net of $ 3.0 million in payments made
to date, or $ 11.5 million and was classified as due to seller as all contingencies had been resolved.

Purchase Agreement, to extend the due dates of the earnout liability and the promissory note to June 30, 2024 in exchange for the
former shareholders of Sky-Watch becoming eligible for an additional earnout of $ 1.0
million if Sky-Watch achieved EBITDA of DKK 127,107,500
or above for fiscal year 2024. As both the promissory note and the second and third earnouts were due within three months of the
amendment date and as the Company would not have been able to refinance the then current balance of $ 18.3
million with another lender, the Company determined this modification to be an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. The
loss on debt extinguishment was not significant. The Company recorded $ 0
and $ 0.3
million of interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In June 2024, the Company amended the Equity
Purchase Agreement to extend the payment dates for the remaining balance on the seller promissory note to five business days following
the date that the Company, or its successor, closes one or more financing transactions with an aggregate value of at least $ 35 million,
and for the remaining earnout liability to five business days following the date that the Company, or its successor, closes one or
more financing transactions with an aggregate value of at least $ 45 million. Interest shall continue to accrue on the earned but
unpaid earnout amounts at the federal discount rate plus five percent, compounded quarterly. The former shareholders agreed to waive
enforcement of payment until June 30, 2025.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company
repaid $ 2.3
million of its Due to seller obligations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total amount included in due to seller and

million, respectively. During July 2025, the Company funded the remaining $ 1.0
million earnout balance.

5 %
payout on any aggregate earnout awards that the Company’s stockholders were entitled to in conjunction with the BCA Transactions.
In December 2024, the Incentive Agreement was amended such that Dangroup will contingently receive shares in conjunction with the Closing
such that their ownership will be 5 %
on a fully diluted basis. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company recorded $ 5.5 million of stock compensation expense related to the 0.5 million shares that were
issued to Dangroup during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
