Recent Developments
Initial Public Offering
On February 16, 2024, we
closed our initial public offering (“IPO”) for the sale of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, at a public offering price of
$4.00 per share. The IPO generated gross proceeds of $5.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million. We incurred and paid
additional direct offering costs prior to the close of the IPO of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and $0.5 million
during the year ended December 31, 2023. We used $1.0 million of proceeds to pay for the acquisition of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot as discussed
below.
Acquisition of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot
On November 21, 2022, we entered into the Purchase
Agreement with Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat”) and Jeffrey Thompson, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Red Cat
and also director of our Company, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase Red Cat’s consumer business consisting of Fat Shark Holdings
Ltd. (“Fat Shark”) and Rotor Riot LLC (“Rotor Riot”). Fat Shark and Rotor Riot are in the business of designing
and marketing consumer drones and FPV goggles. Rotor Riot is also a licensed authorized reseller of consumer drones manufactured by third-parties.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended,
the Company purchased from Red Cat its Rotor Riot and Fat Shark subsidiaries for $20.1 million comprised of (i) $1.1 million in cash,
(ii) a $2.0 million promissory note issued by the Company to Red Cat, and (iii) $17.0 million of the Company’s common stock or 4,250,000
shares of common stock.
Simultaneous with the closing of our IPO, on February
16, 2024, we closed the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot.
Nevada Reincorporation
On April 22, 2024, we completed the change of incorporation
from a Puerto Rico Corporation to a Nevada Corporation.
Finalization of Working Capital Adjustment
On July 22, 2024, we finalized the working capital
adjustment as stipulated in the Purchase Agreement, which resulted in an increase in the overall purchase price by an additional $2.0
million. We agreed to increase the principal amount of the original note for the working capital adjustment, which increased the total
Note Payable to $4.0 million. In addition, we agreed to extend the maturity date of the promissory note to November 30, 2025.

Revenue
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 we generated
revenues totaling $1,411,124 compared to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1,411,124 or 100%.
We did not generate any revenues until the closing of the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot on February 16, 2024. The majority
of our revenue during the quarter relates to completed and fulfilled product sales during the period through our Rotor Riot retail channel
and from our B2B wholesale through Fat Shark. We also generated $112,500 related to our Rampage event, which is an annual event held in
May.
Cost of Goods Sold
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred
cost of goods sold of $1,022,684 compared to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $1,022,684 or
100%. Similar to revenues, we did not incur any cost of goods sold until the closing of the acquisitions on February 16, 2024. Cost of
goods sold primarily relate to product costs from our sales, but also include certain shipping and other direct product costs.
Gross Margin
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, our gross
margin was $388,440 compared to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $388,440 or 100%. Our gross
margin, as a percentage of sales, totaled 28% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 0% during the three months ended
June 30, 2023. We anticipate our gross margin to fluctuate period to period depending on certain promotions and products that are sold
during the period and the margins we generated during the quarter are in line with our expectations and normal operating margins.
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, operations
expenses totaled $213,772 compared to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $213,772 or 100%. Prior
to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any operations expenses. Operations expenses primarily relate to
our direct operations including our warehouse personnel and warehouse expenses.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, research
and development expenses totaled $10,282 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $10,282
or 100%. Prior to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any research and development expenses during 2023.
Research and development expense primarily relates to new product development as we continue to partner with manufacturers to bring drone
component manufacturing to the United States.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, sales
and marketing expenses totaled $386,332 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $386,332
or 100%. Prior to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing
expenses primarily relate to advertising spend related to Rotor Riot and payroll expenses. In addition, we incurred approximately $143,000
in expenses related to our Rampage event, which is an annual event held in May.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, general
and administrative expenses totaling $1,349,587 compared to $434,917 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase
of $914,670 or 210%. The increase relates to stock compensation expense during quarter that we did not have in the previous year, increase
in expenses related to closing the IPO including legal and accounting fees, additional transition and integration related expenses, and
the costs related to operating Fat Shark and Rotor Riot.
28
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2024, totaled $1,612,238 compared to $435,298 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase in net loss of $1,176,940
or 270%. The increase in net loss primarily relates to stock compensation expense taken during the period, in addition to the increase
in general and administrative expenses related to closing the IPO and the increased operations and sales and marketing expenses we incurred
since the acquisition from Fat Shark and Rotor Riot. This was partially offset by generating gross margin related to the revenue and cost
of goods sold from sales for Fat Shark and Rotor Riot. In the third quarter of 2024, we expect that we may begin to amortize our intangibles,
which will result in a non-cash charge going forward. Until we do a valuation, the amount is uncertain and the future charge may or may
not be material.

or 69%. The increase in net loss primarily relates the increase in general and administrative expenses related to closing the IPO with
additional increase in expenses for operations and sales and marketing expenses we incurred since the acquisition from Fat Shark and Rotor
Riot. This was partially offset by generating gross margin related to the revenue and cost of goods sold from sales for Fat Shark and
Rotor Riot. In the third quarter of 2024, we expect that we may begin to amortize our intangibles, which will result in a non-cash charge
going forward. Until we do a valuation, the amount is uncertain and the future charge may or may not be material.
Cash Flow Analysis
Prior to the closing of our
IPO and the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, we did not have any cash inflows from operations and all cash outflows related to
our activities related to our IPO. Our future cash flows from operating activities will be significantly impacted by revenues received,
our investment in sales and marketing to drive growth, and general and administrative expenses related to operating a public company.
Our ability to meet future liquidity needs will be driven by our operating performance and the extent of continued investment in our operations.
Failure to generate sufficient revenues and related cash flows could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our liquidity
needs and achieve our business objectives.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,181,840
during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,022,861 during the six months ended
June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1,158,979 or 113%. This increase in net cash used primarily resulted from our increase in
net loss of $1,105,038 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $253,424, other assets of $173,054 and non-cash expenses of $158,206, offset
by a decrease in inventory of $152,566 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $417,478.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $852,801
during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $4,837 during the six months ended June
30, 2023, representing an increase of $847,964 or 100%. This increase in net cash used related to the $1,000,000 of cash used in the Purchase
Agreement related to Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, offset by $147,199 in cash acquired as compared to $4,837 used for purchase of computer
equipment during 2023.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$4,362,313 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $223,579 during the six months
ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $4,585,892. The increase primarily relates
to proceeds received from our IPO of $5,000,000, offset by change in deferred offering costs and other IPO related expenses of $414,108.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had current assets totaling
$5,116,963 primarily consisting of cash balances of $2,222,445, inventory of $1,638,038 and prepaid expenses and deposits for inventory
of $1,074,403. Our current liabilities as of June 30, 2024 totaled $931,200, primarily consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $786,598 and customer deposits and other current liabilities of $144,602. Our net working capital as of June 30, 2024 was $4,185,763.
On February 16, 2024, we completed our IPO for the
sale of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of $5.0 million. After paying
certain underwriting discounts and commissions, business combination cash payment and other expenses related to the IPO, we retained approximately
$2.9 million in net proceeds.
As of August 14, 2024, we have approximately $1.8
million in cash. We believe that the net proceeds from our February 2024 IPO and existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund our
current operating plans through at least the next 12 months. We have based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to
be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect and need to raise additional funds
sooner than we anticipate. We do not anticipate any significant cost increases post the Fat Shark and Rotor Riot and with consideration
of the combined companies’ net low and cash position, we expect we will have sufficient working capital to support our operations
for at least 12 months.
As described in Note 14 of our financial statements,
we issued the New Notes following our agreement with Red Cat on the Working Capital Adjustment. We will need to either (a) raise additional
capital, (b) refinance the New Notes, (c) seek an extension of the maturity date of the Notes, or (d) explore the conversion or exchange
of the New Notes into equity, which will result in dilution to our shareholders. If we are unable to raise capital or explore such other
options when needed or on acceptable terms, we may default under the obligation pursuant to the New Notes, or be forced to delay, reduce
or eliminate certain operational efforts.
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, on 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.
31
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business
combination
The Fat Shark and Rotor Riot acquisitions are
accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. We recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the
date of acquisition. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the fair value for determining the unallocated purchase price between
goodwill and other intangible assets. Such amounts are subject to adjustment during the one-year measurement period. The fair value will
be determined based on assumptions used in valuations and estimates determined by management, which are subjective.
Impairment of 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. Goodwill represents
costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets from acquired
business are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. We are continuing our evaluation of the fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed from the Fat Shark and Rotor Riot acquisition, and we have not yet determined the unallocated purchase price between
goodwill and other intangible assets. 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.
Valuation of Inventory
Our policy for valuation of inventory requires us to evaluate the net
realizable value of our inventory using various reference measures including current product selling prices, as well as evaluating for
excess quantities and obsolescence. We may be required to record inventory write-downs if actual inventory values are less favorable than
those estimates by management.
Stock Based Compensation
Certain employees have received grants of common shares
in our company. These awards are accounted for in accordance with guidance prescribed for accounting for equity-based compensation. Based
on this guidance and the terms of the awards, the awards are equity classified.
The fair value of each award is determined using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the
estimated volatility of the stock, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The expected volatility was determined
considering comparable companies historical stock prices as a peer group for the fiscal year the grant occurred and prior fiscal years
for a period equal to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was the rate available from the St. Louis Federal Reserve
Bank with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The expected life of the option was estimated based on a mid-point method calculation.
In addition, the Company issued shares of our common
stock in 2023 to consultants for services performed. Prior to our IPO in February 2024, we were a private company with no active public
market for our common stock. Therefore, we have periodically determined the overall value of our company and the estimated per share fair
value of our common equity at their various dates and valuations based on a per share valuation using the private funding transactions
as an estimate. These values and estimates are subjective.
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.
