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 either denied or 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 (“Teal”), a leader in commercial and government Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
Following the Teal acquisition
in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment
(“Enterprise”) and the Consumer segment (“Consumer”) to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's
initial strategy was to provide UAV's to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined
industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government
agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer
segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, caters to hobbyists, drone racers, and enthusiasts. 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 Technology Officer (“CTO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages
our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”.
On December 11, 2023, the Company completed a firm commitment underwritten public offering with ThinkEquity of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated gross proceeds of $9,200,000 and net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000.
On February 16, 2024 ,
we closed the sale of our Consumer segment to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UM”). The sale
reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital on defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create
long term shareholder value. See Note 3 and Note 23.

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 subsidiaries
which include Teal, Skypersonic, Rotor Riot, and Fat Shark. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
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 January
31, 2024, we had cash of $7,697,335 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 $0 and $151,671 as of January 31,
2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively, and was included in other current assets. We did not write off any accrued interest income during
the nine months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023.
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, 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, direct labor, indirect overhead,
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 and recent customer demand, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and
obsolescence.
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.
8
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 – Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 842 requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. 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.
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.
9
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 these instruments approximates
fair value due to their short-term nature.
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 issued financial instruments which
include embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Specifically, there are warrants outstanding, issued in connection with
a convertible debt financing, which include provisions under which the exercise price is equal to the lesser of (i) $1.50 or (ii) the
exercise or conversion price of securities issued in a future, qualified offering. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from
the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The warrants are valued using a multinomial
lattice method that values the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The liability is valued
at each reporting date and the change in liability is reflected as a 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 unless otherwise
specified in the purchase order. 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 $52,296 and $155,986
at January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively.
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, materials, and a proportionate share of overhead
costs such as rent.
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 but 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 nine months ended January 31, 2024, comprehensive loss was
$865,738 lower than net loss, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $864,165, and foreign currency translation
adjustments of $1,573. During the nine months ended January 31, 2023, comprehensive loss was $328,226 lower than net loss, related to
unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $328,006, and foreign currency translation adjustments of $220.
10
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 cost 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 include:

Related Parties – Parties are considered
to be related to us if they have control or significant influence, directly or indirectly, over us, including key management personnel
and members of the Board of Directors. Related Party transactions are disclosed in Note 20.
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 to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's to commercial
enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently,
Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected
to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, caters
to hobbyists, drone racers, and enthusiasts. The reportable segments were established based on how our CODM 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 has incurred net losses related to acquisitions, as
well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, the Company incurred
a net loss from continuing operations of $14,838,925 and used cash in operating activities of continuing operations of
$15,354,934. As of January 31, 2024, working capital for continuing operations totaled $19,927,073. These financial results and our
financial position at January 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However,
the Company has recently taken actions to strengthen its liquidity. On December 11, 2023, we completed a public offering
of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000 as further described in Note 1 and
Note 15. In addition, the Company’s operating plan for the next twelve months has been updated to reflect recent operating
improvements. Revenues have accelerated and are expected to continue growing. The Company’s new manufacturing facility
is scaling production and gross margins are projected to increase. Management has concluded that these recent positive
developments alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue its operations, and meet its
financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

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. 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.

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.
17
At
January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023, we had accumulated deficits of approximately $ 71,600,000
and $ 54,600,000 , respectively. Deferred
tax assets related to the future benefit of these net operating losses for tax purposes totaled approximately $ 13,246,000 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 January
31, 2024 and April 30, 2023.

an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at
a public offering price of $0.50 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional
2,400,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments.
18
The
Offering closed on December 11, 2023, resulting in the issuance of 18,400,000 shares of Common Stock which generated gross proceeds
of $9,200,000. Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount,
the underwriters’ fees and expenses and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses, were approximately $8,400,000.

warrants was included in the determination of the initial accounting for each financing including the calculation of the derivative liability
and related expense.

Note
19 – Derivatives
The
Company has completed financings 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 January 31, 2024 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 – 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 January 31, 2024.
One
pending legal matter is an action filed against Teal 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.
Note
23 – Subsequent Events
Sale
of Consumer Segment
On
February 16, 2024 the Company
closed the sale of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark to Unusual Machines. The sale was conducted pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated November
21, 2022, as amended on April 13, 2023, July 10, 2023, and December 11, 2023 (the “SPA”). The transaction closed concurrently
with UMAC’s initial public offering and listing on the NYSE American exchange (“IPO”) under the symbol “UMAC.”
The total consideration
received by the Company was valued at $20 million and consisted of i) $1 million in cash, ii) $2 million in a secured promissory
note (“Promissory Note”), iii) $17 million in securities of Unusual Machines, and iv) a post-closing adjustment for
excess working capital.
Secured Promissory Note
The Promissory Note from
Unusual Machines bears interest at a rate of 8% per year, is due 18 months from the date of issue, and requires monthly payments of interest
due in arrears on the 15th day of each month. In the event of a Qualified Financing (defined as one or more related debt or equity
financings by UMAC resulting in net proceeds of at least $5 million, other than UMAC’s completed IPO), the Company may require payment
of this Promissory Note in whole or in part upon written notice given within 10 days of the Qualified Financing.
Unusual Machines Securities
The $17 million worth of UMAC common stock was valued at the IPO price for UMAC’s common stock of $4.00 per share, resulting in
4,250,000 shares of UMAC common stock being issued to the Company (representing approximately 48.66% of UMAC’s issued and outstanding
common stock after giving effect to the IPO and to the issuance of common stock to the Company upon closing of the IPO).
Working Capital
The
purchase price will be adjusted for working capital as of the closing date. Any actual working capital excess amount will, at Red
Cat’s option, be payable in cash or will increase the principal amount of the Promissory Note and any actual working capital deficiency
amount will, at Red Cat’s option, be payable in cash or will reduce the principal amount of the Promissory Note dollar for dollar.
The Company estimates that working capital as of closing will be approximately $3.0 million.

Recent Developments
Corporate developments during the two years ended
January 31, 2024 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.
On December 11, 2023, the
Company completed a firm commitment underwritten public offering with ThinkEquity of 18,400,000 shares of common stock which generated gross proceeds of $9,200,000 and net proceeds of approximately
$8,400,000.
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, 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, a leader in commercial and government UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
24
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.
On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our
Consumer segment to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UM”). The total consideration received
by the Company was valued at $20 million, including $1 million in cash, $2 million in a secured promissory note, and $17 million in
securities of Unusual Machines plus a post-closing adjustment for excess working capital. The sale reflects the Company's decision
to focus its efforts and capital and defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder
value.
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations
The analysis of the Company's results of
continuing operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended January 31,
2023 includes only the Company's Enterprise Segment which includes Teal 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 January 31, 2024 compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2023
Revenues
Revenues totaled $5,847,933 during the three months
ended January 31, 2024 (or the "2024 period") compared to $1,667,683 during the three months ended January 31, 2023 (or the
"2023 period") representing an increase of $4,180,250, or 251%. The increase primarily related to higher product revenue related
to the launch of the Teal 2 in April 2023. Product revenue totaled $4,764,253 during the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared
to $1,176,602 during the three months ended January 31, 2023 representing an increase of $3,587,651, or 305%. The increase in
revenue also partially related to increased contract revenues during the 2024 period. Contract revenues totaled $1,008,328 during the
2024 period compared to $486,432 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $521,896, or 107%. Contract revenues are
primarily sourced through government agencies and can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of award deliverables and amendments.
Gross Margin
Gross margin totaled
$1,101,651 during the 2024 period compared to negative $96,929 during the 2023 period representing an increase of $1,198,580, or
more than 12 times. On a percentage basis, gross margin was 19% during the 2024 period compared to negative 6% during the 2023 period.
The percentage basis increase in gross margin in the 2024 period primarily related to obsolete inventory write-offs that occurred
during the 2023 period. Additionally, lower manufacturing levels in the 2023 period resulted in higher relative overhead costs
compared to the 2024 period. 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, are expected to be allocated to a greater number of drones
which is expected to drive our per-drone production costs lower and increase gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Operations expenses totaled $527,447 during the 2024
period compared to $663,668 during the 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $136,221, or 21%. This decrease is primarily due to lower
professional fees due to the Teal facility expansion having been completed since the 2023 period.
25
Research and development expenses totaled $2,125,268
during the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $1,221,738 during the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing an
increase of $903,530, or 74%. Supplies and materials expense totaled $1,339,607 in the 2024 period compared to $395,431 in the 2023 period. This
increase of $944,176, or 239%, primarily related to increased efforts in developing new products and represented substantially all of
the total increase in research and development costs.
Sales and marketing costs totaled $883,982 during
the 2024 period compared to $1,015,412 during the 2023 period, representing a decrease of $131,430 or 13%. The decrease was driven by
lower advertising expenses and lower professional fees.
General and administrative expenses totaled $1,426,531
during the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $1,397,667 during the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing an
increase of $28,864 or 2%. The increase primarily related to payroll, professional fees and information technology expenses.
During the three months ended January 31, 2024, we
incurred stock-based compensation costs of $585,771 compared to $788,691 in the 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $202,920 or 26%.
Since the 2023 period, the Company issued 3,442,542 additional options and 298,643 additional RSUs which resulted in incremental stock-based
compensation costs of $406,935 and $59,791, respectively. This increase was offset by an RSU award that fully vested since the 2023 period,
as well as the forfeiture 643,751 stock options and 70,656 RSU awards resulting in decremental stock-based compensation expense of $570,041.
Other (Income) Expense
Other income totaled $258,015 during the 2024 period
compared to other expense of $151,818 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $409,833 or 270%. During the 2024 period,
the Company was awarded a manufacturing modernization grant from the State of Utah for $750,000 of which $675,000 is attributable to the
2024 period.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $4,189,333
for the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $5,335,923 for the three months ended January 31, 2023, resulting in a decrease
of $1,146.590 or 21%. Total operating expenses totaled $5,548,999 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to $5,087,176 for
the three months ended January 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses was offset by the increase in other income. Higher gross margin
is attributable to the decrease in net loss from continuing operations.
Results of Discontinued Operations
Net loss from discontinued operations totaled $1,299,205
for the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $330,079 for the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase
of $969,126, or 294%. Net loss for Fat Shark totaled $968,680 for the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $42,136 for the
three months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase of $926,544 or nearly 22 times, and represents 96% of the total increase
in net loss from discontinued operations. Fat Shark’s results were adversely impacted by a charge of $927,765 during the three months
ended January 31, 2024 related to the write-off of excess quantities of Dominator inventory based on sales volumes. Net loss for Rotor
Riot totaled $330,525 for the three months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $287,943 for the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing
an increase of $42,582 or 15%.
Discussion and Analysis of the Nine Months Ended
January 31, 2024 compared to the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2023
Revenues
Revenues totaled $11,526,930 during the nine months
ended January 31, 2024 (or the "fiscal 2024 period") compared to $3,541,846 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023 (or
the "fiscal 2023 period") representing an increase of $7,985,084, or 225%. The increase primarily related to higher product
revenue related to the launch of the Teal 2 in April 2023. Product revenue totaled $9,569,215 during the nine months ended January
31, 2024 compared to $2,229,516 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023 representing an increase of $7,339,699, or 329%.
The increase in revenue also partially related to higher contract revenues during the fiscal 2024 period. Contract revenues totaled
$1,848,646 during the fiscal 2024 period compared to $1,128,237 during the fiscal 2023 period, representing an increase of $720,409,
or 64%. Contract revenues are primarily sourced through government agencies and can fluctuate from period to period based on the
timing of award deliverables and amendments.
26
Gross Margin
Gross margin totaled $2,476,898
during the fiscal 2024 period compared to $109,042 during the fiscal 2023 period representing an increase of $2,367,856, or nearly 22
times. On a percentage basis, gross margin was 21% during the fiscal 2024 period compared to 3% during the fiscal 2023 period. The percentage
basis increase in gross margin in the fiscal 2024 period was primarily related to obsolete inventory write-offs that occurred during the
fiscal 2023 period. Additionally, lower manufacturing levels in the fiscal 2023 period resulted in higher relative overhead costs compared
to the fiscal 2024 period. 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 $1,675,795 during the
fiscal 2024 period compared to $3,131,789 during the fiscal 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $1,455,994, or 46%. 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 fiscal 2024 period.
Research and development expenses totaled $5,251,285
during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $2,938,658 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase
of $2,312,627, or 79%. Supplies and materials expense totaled $2,358,971 in the fiscal 2024 period compared to $789,938 in the fiscal
2023 period. This increase of $1,569,033, or 199%, primarily related to increased efforts in developing new products and represented
68% of the total increase in research and development costs. Additionally, higher payroll expenses represented 22% of the increase.
Sales and marketing costs totaled $2,546,380 during the fiscal 2024 period
compared to $1,986,121 during the fiscal 2023 period, representing an increase of $560,259 or 28%. This increase in sales and marketing
expense represents 7% of the total increase in revenue during the fiscal 2024 period compared to the fiscal 2023 period. Headcount for
sales, customer service, and marketing totaled 12 at the end of the fiscal 2024 period compared to 8 at the end of the fiscal 2023 period,
resulting in total payroll expense of $1,341,913 in the fiscal 2024 period compared to $903,898 in the fiscal 2023 period. This increase
of $438,015, or 48% represented 78% of the total increase in sales and marketing costs. Higher travel-related and office expenses represented
33% and 24% of the increase, respectively. This was partially offset by a reduction in advertising expenses and professional fees.
General and administrative expenses totaled $4,329,760
during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $4,275,385 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase
of $54,375 or 1%.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, we
incurred stock-based compensation costs of $2,693,702 compared to $2,790,958 in the fiscal 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $97,256
or 3%. Since the fiscal 2023 period, the Company issued 3,442,542 additional options and 298,643 additional RSUs which resulted in incremental
stock-based compensation costs of $1,517,516 and $196,247, respectively. This increase was offset by an RSU award that fully vested since
the fiscal 2023 period, as well as the forfeiture 643,751 stock options and 70,656 RSU awards resulting in decremental stock-based compensation
expense of $2,060,980.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense totaled $818,901 during the fiscal 2024
period compared to other income of $254,762 during the fiscal 2023 period, representing a decrease of $1,073,663 or 421%. Investment loss
totaled $733,697 during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to an investment gain of $257,244 during the nine months ended
January 31, 2023. During the fiscal 2024 period, the Company sold certain investment grade securities 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 income of $302,821 during the fiscal 2024 period compared to income
of $751,397 during the fiscal 2023 period, representing a net detrimental difference of $448,576.
27
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $14,838,925
for the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $14,759,107 for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, resulting in an increase
of $79,818 or 1%. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by the decrease in investment income as the Company sold certain investment-grade
securities at a loss which were adversely impacted by a sharp increase in interest rates.
Results of Discontinued Operations
Net loss from discontinued operations totaled $2,141,289
for the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $962,971 for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase
of $1,178,318, or 122%. Net loss for Rotor Riot totaled $784,967 for the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $726,255 for
the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase of $58,712 or 8%. Net loss for Fat Shark totaled $1,356,322 for the
nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $236,716 for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing an increase of $1,119,606
or 473%. Fat Shark’s results were adversely impacted by a charge of $1,244,920 during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, related
to the write-off of excess quantities of Dominator inventory based on sales volumes.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $15,354,934
during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $16,806,150 during the nine months
ended January 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $1,451,216 or 9%. The decreased use of cash primarily related to timing of accounts
receivable receipts for government customers. Net cash used in operations, net of non-cash expenses, totaled $10,588,000 during the nine
months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $12,006,416 during the nine months January 31, 2023, resulting in a decrease of $1,418,416,
or 12%. Net cash used related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $4,766,934 during the nine months ended January 31,
2024, compared to $4,799,734 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $32,800 or 1%. 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, vendor payments, and customer collections.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $12,641,685
during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $22,296,235 during the nine months
ended January 31, 2023, resulting in a decrease of $9,654,550 or 43%. During the fiscal 2024 period, proceeds of $12,826,217 from the
sale of marketable securities were used to fund operations. During the fiscal 2023 period, proceeds of $24,282,117 from the sale of marketable
securities were used to fund operations.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$7,960,091 during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1,093,030 during the nine
months ended January 31, 2023. Financing activities can vary from period to period depending upon market conditions, both at a macro-level
and specific to the Company. During the fiscal 2024 period, the company received net proceeds from issuance of common stock of $8,395,600.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At January 31, 2024, the Company reported current
assets totaling $27,941,758, current liabilities totaling $5,227,988 and net working capital of $22,713,770. Cash and marketable securities
totaled $7,697,335 at January 31, 2024. Inventory related balances, including pre-paid inventory, totaled $10,063,812. We continue
to maintain high inventory balances related to the global supply chain issues which continue to impact the timing of our purchase decisions.
28
Going Concern
The
Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses related to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its
long-term growth strategy. During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations
of $14,838,925 and used cash in operating activities of continuing operations of $15,354,934. As of January 31, 2024, working
capital for continuing operations totaled $19,927,073. These financial results and our financial position at January 31,
2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company has recently taken actions
to strengthen its liquidity. On December 11, 2023, we completed a public offering of 18,400,000 shares of common stock
which generated net proceeds of approximately $8,400,000. In addition, the Company’s operating plan for the next twelve months
has been updated to reflect recent operating improvements. Revenues have accelerated and are expected to continue growing. The
Company’s new manufacturing facility is scaling production and gross margins are projected to increase. Management has
concluded that these recent positive developments alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
its operations, and meet its financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial
statements are issued.
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.

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.
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.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
Our
management, with the participation of our CEO and Interim 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 January 31, 2024.
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 Interim CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2024.
Changes
In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during
