RED CAT HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Our unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should
be read in conjunction with the financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30,
2023 of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July
27, 2023.
Note 1 –
The Business
Red Cat Holdings (“Red
Cat” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in February 1984. Since April 2016, the Company’s primary
business has been to provide products, services and solutions to the drone industry which it presently does through its four wholly owned
subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and services through four acquisitions,
including:
A.
In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider
of First Person View (FPV) drones and equipment, primarily to the consumer marketplace. The purchase price was $1,995,114.
B.
In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings,
a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $8,354,076.
C.
In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provides
hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is not available, yet still
record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012.
D.
In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones, a leader
in commercial and government UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
Following the Teal acquisition
in August 2021, we focused on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise and Consumer
segments in order to sharpen our focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's,
primarily drones, to commercial enterprises, including the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial
and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term focus on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's
technology has been re-focused on military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes
Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, is focused on hobbyists and enthusiasts which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our
daily lives. The reportable segments were established based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”),
which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and our
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating
performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”.
In November 2022, we entered
into an agreement to sell our Consumer segment to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UM”). The
adjusted sale price is $20 million, including $3 million in cash, at closing, and $17 million in securities of Unusual Machines. The
agreement reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital on military and defense where it believes that there are more
opportunities to create long term shareholder value. The closing of the transaction is contingent upon Unusual Machines completing (i)
an initial public offering that raises sufficient capital to close the transaction, and (ii) a listing on a public stock exchange such
as the NYSE or Nasdaq.

Note 2 – Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
– The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.
Principles
of Consolidation – Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our
wholly owned operating subsidiaries which include Teal Drones, Skypersonic, Rotor Riot, and Fat Shark. Intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated.
As
further described in Note 3, we presently expect to sell our Consumer segment, which includes Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, within the next
twelve months. Accordingly, the Consumer segment businesses are characterized as Discontinued Operations in these financial statements.
The assets and liabilities of these entities have been presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as discontinued operations.
Similarly, the operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are separately stated in those respective financial statements.
Use of Estimates
– The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine
stock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (iii) accounting for derivatives, (iv) reserves and
allowances related to accounts receivable and inventory, and (v) the evaluation of long-term assets, including goodwill, for impairment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
– At July 31, 2023, we had cash of $937,756 in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced
any loss on these cash balances and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Marketable Securities
– Our marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. These securities are primarily
invested in corporate bonds and are readily saleable, and therefore, we have classified them as short term. Our available-for-sale securities
are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Once realized,
any gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations.
We have elected to present
accrued interest income separately from marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest income was $82,318
and $151,671 as of July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively, and was included in other current assets. We did not write off any
accrued interest income during the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.
Accounts Receivable,
net – Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less allowances for doubtful
accounts. The Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a multitude of factors, including historical bad
debt levels for its customer base, past experience with a specific customer, the economic environment, and other factors. Accounts receivable
balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.
Inventories – Inventories,
which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are
measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight.
At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventory using various reference measures including
current product selling prices, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and obsolescence.
8
Goodwill
and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that
are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC
350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at
the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that
an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a
determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing
the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then
it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with
its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however,
the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount
that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting
unit.
The
estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both.
Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions
inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross
margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present
value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions are based on historical
data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market
approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses.
The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size,
geography, and diversity of products and services.
Goodwill
for Rotor Riot relates to its strong social media presence including more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Goodwill for Fat Shark is
attributable to its relationship with manufacturing sources in China and the potential to integrate its goggle technologies with the
Teal drone. Goodwill for Teal is ascribed to its existing relationship with several U.S. government agencies including its classification
as an approved vendor. The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.
The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction
will be realized.
Property and equipment
– Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which is calculated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment
are generally: (i) furniture and fixtures - seven years, (ii) equipment and related - two to five years, and (iii) leasehold improvements
- 15 years.
Leases – Effective
August 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 titled “Leases” which requires the recognition
of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on a modified retrospective transition basis
which means that it did not restate financial information for any periods prior to August 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the Company recognized
a lease liability obligation of $796,976 and a right-of-use asset for the same amount.
The
Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting
date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company's leases do not provide
an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses an effective discount rate of 12% based on its last debt financing. Operating
lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments.
Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced
by the amount of the expense. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease when they are reasonably certain to occur.
Fair Values, Inputs
and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities, and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure
guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level
fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
9
The fair value hierarchy
gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance
of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or
liability.
The
guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level
1 : Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level
2 : Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level
3 : Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported
by little or no market data.
Disclosures for Non-Financial
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company's financial
instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of
cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debt approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
Convertible Securities
and Derivatives
When the Company issues
convertible debt or equity instruments that contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities,
the total proceeds from the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the bifurcated derivative instruments. The
remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, resulting in those instruments being recorded
at a discount from their face value but no lower than zero. Any excess amount is recognized as a derivative expense.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company has financial
instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued
separately from the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments
at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.
In October 2020 and January
2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the
lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a
derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values
these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability based on a probability
weighted discounted cash flow model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected
as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition
– The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered
regarding revenue recognition including (i) identifying the promised goods, (ii) evaluating performance obligations, (iii) measuring
the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v)
recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied. The Company’s revenue transactions include a single component, specifically,
the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment. The timing of the shipment
of orders can vary considerably depending upon whether an order is for an item normally maintained in inventory or an order that requires
assembly or unique parts. Customer deposits totaled $45,123 and $155,986 at July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively.
10
Research and Development
– Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with
product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, as well as a proportionate
share of overhead costs such as rent. Costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until technological
feasibility is reached, which for our software products, is generally shortly before the products are released to production. Once technological
feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized as a cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products.
Income Taxes –
Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
– Management does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency –
The functional currency of our international subsidiary, Skyset, is the local Italian currency. For that subsidiary, we translate
assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses.
We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Comprehensive Loss
– Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses
that are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity and are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive loss is comprised of
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. During the three months ended
July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, comprehensive loss was $291,035 and $133,934 lower than net loss, respectively, related to unrealized
gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $289,389 and $133,582, respectively, and foreign currency translation adjustments of
$1,646 and $352.
Stock-Based Compensation
– S tock options are valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting
in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model
using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. The
fair value of restricted stock is based on our stock price on the date of grant. Compensation costs is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the service period which is the vesting term.
Basic and Diluted Net
Loss per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss
per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The conversion or exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute
earnings per share if we become profitable in the future. Outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss
per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive included:

Segment Reporting
Since
January 2020, we have acquired four separate businesses operating in various aspects of the drone industry. Following the Teal
acquisition in August 2021, we focused on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise
and Consumer segments in order to sharpen our focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide
UAV's, primarily drones, to commercial enterprises, including the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial
and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term focus on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's
technology has been re-focused on military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes
Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, is focused on hobbyists and enthusiasts which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our
daily lives. The reportable segments were established based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”),
which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and our
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating
performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”.
Liquidity and Going Concern
– The Company has never been profitable and its net losses have been increasing related
to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company
incurred a net loss of $ 5,810,348 and used cash in operating activities of $ 6,926,069 . As of July 31, 2023, the Company has working capital
of $ 22,945,400 . While the Company has historically been successful in raising capital to meet its working capital requirements, the ability
to continue raising such capital to enable the Company to continue its growth is not guaranteed. Therefore, there is substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations
and meet its financial obligations for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
Note
3 – Discontinued Operations – Sale of Consumer Segment
In November 2022, the
Company agreed to the sale of its consumer segment consisting of Rotor Riot, (“RR”), and Fat Shark Holdings

Note 7 – Due
From Related Party
In January 2022, the Company
determined that a senior executive had relocated in 2021 but their compensation had not been subject to the income tax withholding required
by the new jurisdiction. The amount subject to taxation included $ 155,624 of cash compensation and $ 1,413,332 of income
associated with the vesting of restricted stock ("Stock Compensation"). In March 2022, the Company entered into a note
agreement (the "Note") with the employee in the amount of $ 510,323 , representing the estimated taxes owed by the employee related
to the Stock Compensation. Under the terms of the Note, 104,166
shares of common stock with a fair value of $ 280,832 , which had vested
during calendar 2021, were withheld by the Company and applied against the Note. The employee agreed not to sell or transfer 110,983 shares
of common stock held at the Company's transfer agent until the Note was repaid. In addition, the employee has 20,833 shares
of restricted stock vesting monthly in calendar 2022, of which 3,000
shares were withheld with the fair value of those shares applied
against the Note. Shares issued to the employee in 2022 were held at the transfer agent until the Note was repaid. The Note matured
on December 31, 2022. The Company filed amended payroll tax returns on March 16, 2022. In March and April 2022, the Company made
payments to the relevant tax authorities totaling $ 712,646 representing
$ 510,323
owed by the employee, $ 31,604
owed by the Company,
and $ 170,719
of penalties and interest. The Note was repaid in full in August 2022.

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

Note 14 – Income Taxes
Our operating subsidiary, Red Cat Propware, Inc.,
is incorporated and based in Puerto Rico which is a commonwealth of the United States. We are not subject to taxation by the United States
as Puerto Rico has its own taxing authority. Since inception, we have incurred net losses in each year of operations. Our current provision
for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements consisted of a tax benefit against which we applied a full valuation
allowance, resulting in no current provision for income taxes. In addition, there was no deferred provision for any of these reporting
periods.
At July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, we had accumulated deficits of approximately $ 60,397,000
and $ 54,600,000 , respectively.
Deferred tax assets related to the future benefit of these net operating losses for tax purposes totaled approximately $ 11,173,000 and $ 10,101,000 , respectively, calculated using the base Puerto Rico corporate tax rate of 18.5%. Currently, we focus on projected future
taxable income in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that these deferred assets will be realized. Based on the fact that we
have not generated an operating profit since inception, we have applied a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at
July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023.

Note 19 – Derivatives
The Company completed
financings in October 2020 and January 2021 which included notes and warrants containing embedded features subject to derivative accounting.
Both the notes and the warrants included provisions which provided for a reduction in the conversion and exercise prices, respectively,
if the Company completed a future qualified offering at a lower price. These provisions represent embedded derivatives which are valued
separately from the host instrument (meaning the notes and warrants) and recognized as derivative liabilities on the Company's balance
sheet. The Company initially measures these financial instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated
fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company also measures these financial instruments on the date of
settlement (meaning when the note is converted, or the warrant is exercised) at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in
their estimated fair value in results of operations. Any discount in the carrying value of the note is fully amortized on the date of
settlement and recognized as interest expense. The Company estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a multinomial
lattice model. The range of underlying assumptions used in the binomial model to determine the fair value of the derivative warrant liability
upon settlement of the derivative liability and as of July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 are set forth below. In addition, the Company's
stock price on each measurement date was used in the model.

Note 22 - Sale
of Consumer Segment
In November 2022, the
Board of Directors approved a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") between the Company, Unusual Machines
and Jeffrey Thompson, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Principal Stockholder”), related to the sale
of the Company’s consumer segment consisting of Rotor Riot, (“RR”), and Fat Shark Holdings (“FS”),
to UM. In March 2023, shareholders approved the sale.
The final, amended purchase
price of $20 million includes $3 million in cash, payable at closing, with the remaining $17 million consisting of shares of common stock
of Unusual Machines. The purchase price will be adjusted for working capital on the closing date (increased for positive working
capital and decreased for negative working capital). The Company estimates that working capital at closing will range between $3.0 to
$4.5 million. The number of shares of UM’s common stock (the “Unusual Common Stock”) to be issued will be based on
the initial public offering price for the Unusual Common Stock. All of the Unusual Common Stock will be subject to a lock-up of 180 days
and be eligible for registration. The closing of the SPA is subject to the successful completion of an initial public offering (the “IPO”)
by UM in the minimum amount of $5 million, and the listing of UM’s common stock on a public stock exchange such as the NYSE or
Nasdaq. UM filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for an initial public offering of its Common Stock with the SEC. UM
is required to deposit $1.0 million cash with the Company upon effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC.
Note
23 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
Proceedings
In the ordinary course
of business, we may be involved, at times, in various legal proceedings involving a variety of matters. We do not believe there are any
pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. We have
not recorded any litigation reserves as of April 30, 2023.
One pending legal matter
is an action filed against Teal Drones and the Company in a U.S. District Court in California. The complaint asserts claims for
breach of contract, and the unlawful conversion and sale of shares of common stock that plaintiff alleges to have purchased in Teal prior
to its acquisition by the Company. The complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty and seeks in excess of $1 million in damages.
The Company is asserting vigorous defenses to the complaint.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and
other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management's
Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements relating to our
liquidity, and our plans for our business focusing on providing products, services and solutions to the drone industry. Any statements
that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words "believe," "plan," "intend,"
"anticipate," "target," "estimate," "expect," and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional
constructions ("will," "may," "could," "should," etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain
of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. The Company's actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of many factors. Investors should also review the risk factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the SEC on July 27, 2023.
All forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking statements
to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q except as required by federal
securities law.
Recent Developments
Corporate developments
during the two years ended July 31, 2023 include:
Capital Transactions
During
the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company completed two firm commitment underwritten public offerings with ThinkEquity, a division
of Fordham Financial Management. The first offering, in May 2021, generated gross and net proceeds of $16 and $14.6 million, respectively.
The second offering, in July 2021, generated gross and net proceeds of $60 and $55.5 million, respectively.
Plan
of Operations
Since
April 2016, the Company's primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry which it presently
does through its four wholly owned subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and
services through four acquisitions, including:
A.
In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider
of First Person View (FPV) drones and equipment, primarily to the consumer marketplace. The purchase price was $1,995,114.
B.
In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings,
a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $8,354,076.
C.
In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provides
hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is not available, yet still
record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012.
D.
In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones, a leader
in commercial and government UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
Following the Teal acquisition, we focused on integrating
and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise and Consumer segments in order to sharpen our focus
on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's, primarily drones, to commercial enterprises,
and government agencies including the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior
spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term focus on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology
has been re-focused on military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark
and Rotor Riot, is focused on hobbyists and enthusiasts which are expected to increase as drones become more visible and useful in our
daily lives.
24
In
November 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our Consumer segment to Unusual Machines. The adjusted sale price is $20 million,
including $3 million in cash, at closing, and $17 million in securities of Unusual Machines. The agreement reflects the Company's decision
to focus its efforts and capital on military and defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder
value. The closing of the transaction is contingent upon Unusual Machines completing (i) an initial public offering that raises sufficient
capital to close the transaction, and (ii) a listing on a public stock exchange such as the NYSE or Nasdaq.
Results
of Operations - Continuing Operations
The analysis of the Company's results of continuing
operations for the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022 includes only the Company's Enterprise
Segment which includes Teal Drones and Skypersonic. During Fiscal 2023, the operations of Skypersonic were consolidated into Teal.
The following discussion and analysis describes the operating results of Teal and Skypersonic on a consolidated basis with Teal representing
more than 90% of the operating activities of the Enterprise Segment.
Discussion
and Analysis of the Three Months Ended July 31, 2023 compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022
Revenues
Revenues totaled $1,748,129 during the three months
ended July 31, 2023 (or the "2023 period") compared to $1,126,551 during the three months ended July 31, 2022 (or the "2022
period") representing an increase of $621,578, or 55%. The increase related exclusively to higher product sales related to the launch
of the Teal 2 in April 2023. Product sales totaled $1,413,127 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to $700,214 during
the three months ended July 31, 2022 representing an increase of $712,913, or more than 100%. The increase in product sales
was partially offset by lower contract revenues during the 2023 period. Contract revenues totaled $310,881 during the 2023 period
compared to $398,499 during the 2022 period, representing a decrease of $87,618, or 22%. Contract revenues are primarily
sourced through government agencies and can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of awards and amendments.
Gross Margin
Gross margin totaled $174,665
during the 2023 period compared to $82,120 during the 2022 period representing an increase of $92,545, or more than 100%. On a percentage
basis, gross margin was 10.0% during the 2023 period compared to 7.3% during the 2022 period. The percentage basis increase in gross
margin in the 2023 period was primarily related to lower relative labor costs as recently hired manufacturing operators replaced
higher compensated engineers in performing many production activities. Our manufacturing facility is presently producing drones
at a lower level than it is designed for, and these lower production levels, combined with higher overhead costs, continue
to result in lower than targeted gross margins. As production levels increase, our fixed overhead costs, including labor, will be allocated
to a greater number of drones which will drive our per-drone production costs lower and increase gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Operations expenses totaled
$707,903 during the 2023 period compared to $886,303 during the 2022 period, resulting in a decrease of $178,400, or 20%. This decrease
is primarily due to lower payroll costs, controlled spending on manufacturing supplies, and lower office expenses related to fewer new
hires in the 2023 period.
Research and development
expenses totaled $1,138,127 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to $449,964 during the three months ended July 31, 2022,
representing an increase of $688,163, or more than 100% Payroll expense totaled $699,385 in the 2023 period compared to $316,223 in
the 2022 period. This increase of $383,162, or more than 100%, primarily related to increased efforts in developing new products
and represented 58% of the total increase in research and development costs. Higher professional services fees and increased office costs
represented 22% and 16% of the increase, respectively.
25
Sales and marketing costs
totaled $986,908 during the 2023 period compared to $406,953 during the 2022 period, representing an increase of $579,955 or more than
100%. Headcount for sales, customer service, and marketing totaled 11 at the end of the 2023 period compared to 5 at the end of the 2022
period, resulting in total payroll expense of $428,464 in the 2023 period compared to $187,732 in the 2022 period. This increase
of $240,732, or more than 100%, represented 42% of the total increase in sales and marketing costs. Higher office and travel-related
expenses represented 32% and 19% of the increase, respectively.
General and administrative
expenses totaled $1,443,156 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to $1,062,404 during the three months ended July 31,
2022, representing an increase of $380,752 or 36%. Higher costs at the corporate level represented 57% of the increase. Corporate includes
executive compensation and other administrative costs associated with operating a publicly traded company including departments such
as finance, human resources, and administration. Other significant costs include professional services fees (legal, audit, and board
compensation), Nasdaq listing fees and filing costs, and corporate insurance. Specific increases in costs included payroll which totaled
$534,764 in the 2023 period compared to $353,135 in the 2022 period resulting in an increase of $181,629 or 48% of the total increase
in general and administrative expenses. Legal and lobbying services costs totaled $281,587 in the 2023 period compared to $89,739, representing
an increase of $191,848, or 50% of the total increase.
During the three months
ended July 31, 2023, we incurred stock-based compensation costs of $911,606 compared to $755,471 in the 2022 period, resulting in an
increase of $156,135 or 21%. Since the 2022 period, the Company issued 3,900,542 additional options and 298,643 additional RSUs which
resulted in incremental stock-based compensation costs of $442,639 and $93,749, respectively. This increase was partially offset by an
RSU award that fully vested since the 2022 period, resulting in decremental stock-based compensation expense of $336,252.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense totaled
$554,740 during the 2023 period compared to $113,227 during the 2022 period, representing an increase of $441,513 or greater than 100%.
This increase in other expense was primarily related to higher depreciation and amortization expense which totaled $101,001 and $217,368,
respectively, during the 2023 period compared to $28,272 and $56,160, respectively during the 2022 period resulting in an increase of
$72,729 and $161,208, respectively, collectively representing 53% of the total increase in other expense. Higher depreciation expense
related to approximately $2 million in capital expenditures since the 2022 period, primarily related to the construction of the new manufacturing
facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. Higher amortization expense related to amortization of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions,
especially Teal.
Investment income totaled
$130,296 during the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to an investment loss of $239,490 during the three months ended July 31,
2023. During the 2023 period, the Company sold certain investment grade securities in order to fund operations. The fair value
of these securities had been adversely impacted by the sharp increase in interest rates since the securities were acquired. Changes in
the fair value of the derivative liability resulted in an expense of $92,922 during the 2022 period compared to income of $26,520 during
the 2023 period, representing a net beneficial difference of $119,442.
Net Loss from Continuing
Operations
Net loss
from continuing operations totaled $5,567,775 for the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to $3,592,202 for the three months ended
July 31, 2022, resulting in an increase of $1,975,573 or 55%. Total operating expenses totaled $5,187,700, or 93% of net loss from continuing
operations. Higher operating expenses represented 82% of the total increase in the net loss and were driven by an increase in headcount
from 63 at the end of the 2022 period to 74 at the end of the 2023 period which was an increase of 17%. Other expenses totaled
$554,740 during the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to $113,227 for the three months ended July 31, 2022, representing
an increase of $441,513, or more than 100%. The increase in other expenses represented 22% of the total increase in the net loss
and were driven by a $369,786 decrease in investment income as the Company was forced to sell certain investment grade securities at
a loss which were adversely impacted by a sharp increase in interest rates.
Results
of Discontinued Operations
Revenue
from discontinued operations totaled $1,869,219 for the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to $1,942,720 for the three months
ended July 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $73,501 or 4%. During the 2023 period, Rotor Riot generated revenues totaling $1,243,907
compared to $888,419 during the 2022 period, representing an increase of $355,488 or 40%. During the 2023 period, Rotor Riot’s
higher revenues were generated by a significant increase in digital marketing spending. During the 2023 period, Fat Shark generated revenues
totaling $625,312 compared to $1,054,301 during the 2022 period, representing a decrease of $428,989 or 41%. Lower revenues for the 2023
period related to its newest product, the Dominator, which was launched at the beginning of Fiscal 2023, and while it generated strong
initial sales in the first quarter, sales declined significantly since the 2022 period.
26
Gross margin from discontinued
operations totaled $484,103 during the 2023 period compared to $275,507 during the 2022 period representing an increase of $208,596,
or 76%. On a percentage basis, gross margin from discontinued operations was 26% during the 2023 period compared to 14% during the 2022
period. The percentage basis increase in gross margin in the 2023 period primarily related to successful efforts to reduce tariff expenses
for Rotor Riot’s inventory purchases.
Operating expenses totaled $703.939 during the 2023
period compared to $495.028 during the 2022 period, resulting in an increase of $208,911, or 42%. This increase is primarily due to increased
advertising expenses in the 2023 period.
Net loss from discontinued
operations totaled $242,573 for the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to $219,397 for the three months ended July 31, 2022,
representing an increase of $23,176, or 11%.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $6,926,069
during the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3,814,762 during the three months ended
July 31, 2022, representing an increase of $3,111,307 or 82%. Net cash used in operations, net of non-cash expenses, totaled $4,071,684
during the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to $2,648,702 during the three months ended July 31, 2022, resulting in an increase
of $1,422,982, or 54%. The higher use of cash primarily related to the expansion of the Teal Drones operations since its acquisition in
August 2021. Headcount at Teal increased from 47 at the end of the 2022 period to 60 at the end of the 2023 period which was an increase
of 28%. Net cash used related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $2,854,385 during the three months ended July
31, 2023, compared to $1,166,060 during the three months ended July 31, 2022, representing an increase of $1,688,325 or more than 100%.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending upon the timing and level of multiple
factors, including inventory purchases and vendor payments. Net payments related to inventory, including deposits, totaled $1,804,886
in the 2023 period compared to $227,516 in the 2022 period, representing an increase of $1,577,370, or more than 100%. This
increase represented 93% of the total increase in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,883,345
during the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $7,659,707 during the three months
ended July 31, 2022 resulting in a decrease of $2,776,362 or 36%. During the 2023 period, proceeds of $4,888,399 from the sale of marketable
securities were used to fund operations. During the 2022 period, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, net of purchases of
marketable securities, totaled $8,204,649. During the 2023 period, the Company was spending the proceeds from the 2022 period stock offerings
to support operations for the full year, whereas in the 2022 period the proceeds from the stock offerings were invested in marketable
securities and also used to support operations for the second half of the 2022 period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $146,509
during the three months ended July 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $685,281 during the three months
ended July 31, 2022. Financing activities can vary from period to period depending upon market conditions, both at a macro-level and specific
to the Company. During the 2023 period, the Company made payments of $8,520 related to payroll taxes on equity awards compared to payments
of $469,631 during the 2022 period, resulting in a decrease of $461,111. This decrease represented 86% of the total decrease. The
lower payments related to lower equity award vesting in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
At July 31, 2023, the Company reported current assets
totaling $26,523,312, current liabilities totaling $3,577,912 and net working capital of $22,945,400. Cash and marketable securities totaled
$8,875,169 at July 31, 2023. Inventory related balances, including pre-paid inventory, totaled $15,508,659. We continue to maintain
higher-than-normal inventory balances related to the global supply chain issues, including chip shortages, which continue to impact the
timing of our purchase decisions.
27
Going Concern
The Company has never been profitable, and its net
losses have been increasing related to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the three
months ended July 31, 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $5,567,775 from continuing operations and $242,573 from discontinued operations
and used cash in operating activities of $6,926,069 from continuing operations and $356,109 from discontinued operations. As of July 31,
2023, the Company has working capital of $22,945,400. While the Company has historically been successful in raising capital to meet its
working capital requirements, the ability to continue raising such capital to enable the Company to continue its growth is not guaranteed.
Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company will require additional
liquidity to continue its operations and meet its financial obligations for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
If the Company is unable
to raise additional capital, there is a risk that the Company could default on its financial obligations and could be required to discontinue
or significantly reduce the scope of its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements
and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods.
We
regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these
policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience,
information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances.
Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Significant estimates
reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting
for acquisitions, (iii) accounting for derivatives, and (iv) reserves and allowances related to accounts receivable and inventory.
Goodwill
and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that
are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC
350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at
the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that
an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a
determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing
the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then
it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with
its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however,
the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount
that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting
unit.
The
estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both.
Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions
inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross
margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present
value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions our based on historical
data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market
approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses.
The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size,
geography, and diversity of products and services.
28
Fair
Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements
and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities
into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair
value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has
been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific
to the asset or liability.
The
guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level
1 : Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level
2 : Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level
3 : Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported
by little or no market data.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial
instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of
cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debt approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company has financial
instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued
separately from the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments
at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.
In October 2020 and January
2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the
lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a
derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values
these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method. The valuation is updated each reporting date with the change
in the liability reflected as a change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have no off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented
all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements
unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued
that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

company and are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls
and Procedures.
Our management, with the
participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of July 31, 2023.
The term “disclosure
controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) means controls and other procedures of the Company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures.
Based
on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2023.
