The fair value of the SPA Warrants was estimated to be $ 20,949,110 using a Monte Carlo valuation model incorporating future projections of the various potential outcomes and any exercise price adjustments based on future financing events.

The Debentures are convertible into 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock and associated warrants for an additional 2,922,425 shares with an exercise price equal to $ 20 per share, subject to adjustment (“SPA Warrants”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc.

was determined to be the accounting acquirer and CLAQ was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes.

Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc.

On September 9, 2022, the Company received from the Business Combination with CLAQ net cash of $ 14,947,875 .

The Company incurred $ 12,582,000 in direct and incremental costs associated with the Equity Financing, which primarily consisted of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees.

On December 31, 2023, the Company and ATW Special Situations I LLC, as the purchaser, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE SPA”), pursuant to which the purchaser agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $ 5,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a $ 2 per share purchase price.

As a result of the sale of shares under the PIPE SPA, the conversion prices under the warrants and debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) were reset to $ 2 pursuant to their terms, removing future dilutive effects pursuant to the “ratchet” provisions of such warrants and debentures.

These ASUs significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.

The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model that will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”).

Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses.

Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable and unbilled revenues.

The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023.

The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in new and enhanced disclosures only.

With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, accounts receivable and contract assets are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest.

The balance at December 31, 2023 consisted of $ 150,000 , relating to a restricted certificate of deposit which was required to collateralize a letter of credit, with the remainder held as a guarantee against corporate credit cards.

Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Revenues, and Allowance for Credit Losses - With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, accounts receivable and contract assets are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest.

The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers.

The Company operates in the midstream space of the oil and natural gas industry and its accounts receivables and contract assets are primarily derived from providing gathering and transportation of natural gas and natural gas liquids for its customers.

At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses.

This election was made to provide greater transparency and to more accurately reflect the economic value of the New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Under the fair value option, the New Convertible Debentures and the November 2024 Debentures are recorded at their estimated fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings within "Other (income) expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses inputs such as the Company’s stock price (KITT), stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and conversion terms.

As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the New Convertible Debentures was $ 0 compared to an initial fair value of $ 99,195,791 as of January 30, 2024, as a result of the New Convertible Debentures being exchanged to Series A Preferred stock on December 27, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

The fair value option eliminates the requirement to separately account for embedded conversion features that would otherwise be bifurcated under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives.

Instead, all economic impacts of the New Convertible Deb entures and November 2024 Debentures—including interest, conversion features, and market fluctuations—are captured in the fair value measurement.

The Company believes that the fair value measurement provides a more relevant representation of the liability’s impact on financial position and performance, as it reflects the new convertible debentures’ current economic value and reduces potential measurement inconsistencies.

During the year ended, December 31, 2023 the Company performed a discounted cash flow test to compare the carrying value of its assets with estimated future revenues and concluded that the carrying value of some of its assets were impaired.

The Company recorded impairment charges of $ 25,354,791 relating to property and equipment, primarily arising from impairment of the Aquanaut Mark 2 vehicles, Hydronaut vessels, Drix, Olympic arms and some leasehold improvements.

The fair value of the Aquanaut Mark 2 vehicles were determined by considering the value of similar vehicles in the market place, commercial invoices, insurable values and a discounted value of future potential cash generation less an estimate of costs to complete vehicles 1 and 3.

The fair value of Hydronaut vessels 2 and 3 was determined based on an offer for sale, which subsequently closed on January 22, 2024 at the same value.

The Drix and Hydronaut 1 assets were valued at marketed sales price.

Olympic Arms 1 – 3 are fully impaired based on no realizable value, as are the certain leasehold improvements.

During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company conducted a thorough review of its assets and decided to divest items that no longer aligned with its strategic objectives.

This strategic shift aimed to enhance cash flow within the company.

Consequently, through an update of its business model, the Company identified and reclassified $ 2,940,254 worth of property and equipment, including Hydronaut vessels, Drix, and other miscellaneous equipment, as assets held for sale.

Subsequently, Hydronaut vessels 2 and 3 were sold on January 22, 2024, for $ 1,533,610 , which matched their impaired carrying value.

Compensation expense for stock option grants is recognized based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following inputs were used to calculate the fair value of the options as of the date of each grant:

Years ended December 31,

Expected volatility N/A 36.7 - 36.9 %

Expected term (years) N/A 4.69 - 4.94

Risk-free interest rate N/A 4.03 % - 4.06 %

Expected dividends 0.00 % 0.00 %

The expected volatility was calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock.

The Company used the “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of options, which is the average of the weighted-average vesting period and contractual term of the option.

The risk-free rate was based on the U.S.
