+Added: We spent $2.6 million, or 41% of our revenue, in our
+Added: fiscal year ended April 30, 2022, on internal research and development activities.
+Added: We believe that there are significant investment opportunities
+Added: in a number of business areas.

+Added: Risks Related to Our Consumer Business
+Added: Our Consumer Segment operates in a highly
+Added: competitive market and the size, resources, and brand name of its competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than our businesses
+Added: can which could result in a loss of market share and a decrease in revenues.
+Added: The market for drones and head-worn display devices,

+Added: In the future,
+Added: the manufacturers of these devices, such as Apple Inc., Samsung, LGE, Lenovo, Google/Fitbit, Snap, Garmin, Facebook, Microsoft and others
+Added: may design or develop products similar to ours.
+Added: In addition, new companies may emerge and offer competitive products.
+Added: Increased competition
+Added: may result in pricing pressure and reduced profit margins and may impede our ability to increase the sales of our products.
+Added: factors could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
+Added: If our Consumer Segment fails to keep pace with
+Added: changing consumer preferences or technologies, then our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
+Added: Rapidly changing customer requirements, evolving technologies
+Added: and industry standards characterize the consumer electronics, wearables, and display industries.
+Added: To succeed in the consumer marketplace,
+Added: we seek to enhance existing products and develop and market new products that keep pace with continuing changes in industry standards,
+Added: requirements, and customer preferences.
+Added: Our success depends on our ability to develop new
+Added: products and to identify trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing customer demands in a timely manner.
+Added: If we are unable to
+Added: introduce new products or novel technologies in a timely manner, or new products or technologies are not accepted by customers, then our
+Added: competitors may introduce more advanced and competitive products which could hurt our competitive position.
+Added: Our new products might not
+Added: receive customer acceptance if customer preferences shift to other products, and our future success depends on our ability to anticipate
+Added: and respond to these changes.
+Added: Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing customer preferences could lead to, among
+Added: other things, lost business, lower revenue and excess inventory levels.
+Added: If we do not maintain and develop sales channels
+Added: for products, then our sales could decline, and our operating losses could increase.
+Added: We depend upon effective sales channels in reaching
+Added: the customers who purchase our drone and HMD products.
+Added: We primarily sell products either from in-house sales teams directly to retail
+Added: outlets such as hobby shops or through websites and value-added resellers (“VARS”).
+Added: Distributors, third-party online resellers and VARs
+Added: generally offer products from several different manufacturers.
+Added: Accordingly, these distributors, resellers and VARs may give higher priority
+Added: to selling other companies’ products.
+Added: If we were to lose the services of a distributor, online reseller, or VAR, we might need to
+Added: find a replacement, and there can be no assurance of our ability to do so in a timely manner or on favorable terms.
+Added: Further, resellers
+Added: and distributors may build inventories in anticipation of future sales, and if such sales do not occur as rapidly as they anticipate,
+Added: resellers and distributors will decrease the size of their future product orders.
+Added: We are also subject to the risks of distributors, resellers
+Added: and VARs encountering financial difficulties which could impede their effectiveness and also expose us to financial risk.
+Added: if they are unable to pay for the products they purchase or ongoing disruptions in business, for example from natural disasters or the
+Added: effects of COVID-19.
+Added: Any reduction in sales by current distributors or VARs, loss of key distributors and VARs or decrease in revenue

+Added: Planned marketing expenditures are unknown and may
+Added: not result in increased total sales or generate sufficient levels of product and brand name awareness.
+Added: We may not be able to manage marketing
+Added: expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
+Added: If HMD’s and pilot gear do not gain greater
+Added: acceptance in the marketplace, the business strategy may fail.
+Added: The acquisition of Fat Shark was based upon the acceptance
+Added: of HMD wearables for FPV control of drones and the continuation of the attractiveness of that method for piloting drones.
+Added: Fat Shark has
+Added: experienced declining revenues over the past several years and such trend may continue or accelerate.
+Added: Advances in other technologies may
+Added: overcome their current market limitations and permit them to remain or become more attractive technologies for FPV applications, which
+Added: could limit the potential market for our products and cause our business strategy to fail.
+Added: If end-users fail to accept HMDs in the numbers
+Added: we anticipate or as soon as we anticipate, the sales of our FPV products and our results of operations would be adversely affected, and
+Added: our business strategy may fail.
+Added: There are a number of competing providers of
+Added: micro-display-based personal display technology, including HMDs, and we may fail to capture a substantial portion of the FPV personal
+Added: wearable display market.
+Added: In addition to competing with other HMD manufacturers
+Added: and distributors for FPV displays, we also compete with micro-display-based personal display technologies that have been developed by
+Added: other companies.
+Added: Numerous start-up companies have announced their intentions to offer HMD products and developer kits in the near future.
+Added: Further, industry blogs have speculated that companies such as Apple may offer HMDs soon.
+Added: Most of our competitors have greater financial, marketing,
+Added: distribution, and technical resources than we do.
+Added: Moreover, our competitors may succeed in developing new micro-display-based personal
+Added: display technologies and products that are more affordable or have more desirable features than our technology.
+Added: If our products are unable
+Added: to capture a reasonable portion of the HMD market, our business strategy may fail.
+Added: Our dependence on sales to VARs, resellers,
+Added: and distributors increases the risks of managing our supply chain and may result in excess inventory or inventory shortages.
+Added: The majority of our various reseller relationships
+Added: for our HMD products and their accessories could involve them taking inventory positions and reselling to multiple customers.
+Added: typical distributor relationships, we would not recognize revenue until the distributors sell the product to their end user customers
+Added: and receive payment thereon;
+Added: however, at this time we do not currently enter into these types of arrangements.
+Added: Our distributor and VAR
+Added: relationships may reduce our ability to forecast sales and increase risks to our business.
+Added: Since our distributors and VARs would act as
+Added: intermediaries between us and the end user customers or resellers, we would be required to rely on our distributors to accurately report
+Added: inventory levels and production forecasts.
+Added: This may require us to manage a more complex supply chain and monitor the financial condition
+Added: and credit worthiness of our distributors and VARs and their major end user customers.
+Added: Our failure to manage one or more of these risks
+Added: could result in excess inventory or shortages that could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.
+Added: We do not control our contract manufacturers
