−Removed: Risks Related to our Business and Financial
−Removed: Because the Company
−Removed: had a limited operating history prior to its acquisition of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, any investment in us is highly speculative.
−Removed: We completed our acquisitions
−Removed: of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot simultaneously with the closing of our IPO in February 2024.
−Removed: Both companies, prior to the completion of the
−Removed: acquisitions, were operated by Red Cat since their acquisition by Red Cat in 2020.
−Removed: While the management of each company remained as employees,
−Removed: no Red Cat officer, other than Dr.
−Removed: Allan Evans who became our Chief Executive Officer in December 2023, and our Chief Operating Officer
−Removed: in March 2024, respectively, joined us.
−Removed: Our management team is headed by our executive officers together with individuals from Fat Shark
−Removed: and Rotor Riot, and our operations going forward are therefore subject to ordinary integration risks where two companies and two cultures
−Removed: are combined.
−Removed: Further, we may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences
−Removed: or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts.
−Removed: Our current and future expense levels
−Removed: are based largely on our budgeted plans and estimates of future revenue.
−Removed: Similarly, if we are able to raise additional funds in future
−Removed: financing transactions, we may use a portion of those proceeds to acquire other operating businesses in our industry or in related industries
−Removed: to facilitate strategic growth and build our market presence and revenue potential.
−Removed: If we do acquire one or more businesses in the future,
−Removed: we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force
−Removed: us to curtail our business operations or plan of operations or acquisitions.
−Removed: Unusual Machines must
−Removed: be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages
−Removed: of operations, and growth process.
−Removed: For all these reasons, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability in some or all of our
−Removed: business segments in a timely manner or at all.
−Removed: Fat Shark and Rotor Riot have incurred net
−Removed: losses since their acquisition by Red Cat and may fail to achieve or maintain profitability.
−Removed: Since their acquisition by Red Cat in 2020, Fat
−Removed: Shark and Rotor Riot incurred net losses for each reported quarter with the exception of Fat Shark which reported a small net income in
−Removed: the quarter ended July 31, 2022.
−Removed: Further, Unusual Machines was formed in July 2019 did not conduct any operational business activities
−Removed: until February 2024 after the completion of our IPO and acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot.
−Removed: Following our acquisition of Fat Shark
−Removed: and Rotor Riot, their operations constitute our business.
−Removed: Further, Fat Shark had lower revenues in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal
−Removed: year 2022, and Rotor Riot had higher net losses in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022, and generally experiences fluctuating
−Removed: revenue as a result of recurring seasonal sales cycles.
−Removed: We will need to generate higher revenues and control operating costs in order
−Removed: to attain profitability.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that we will be able to do so or to reach profitability.
−Removed: We expect to continue to incur losses for the
−Removed: foreseeable future and we expect costs to increase in future periods as we expend substantial financial and other resources on, among
−Removed: other things:
−Removed: expanding into the B2B channel;
−Removed: opening a manufacturing facility;
−Removed: researching, developing, producing and distributing new products;
−Removed: sales and marketing, which will require time before these investments generate sales results;
−Removed: general and administrative expenditures, including significantly increasing expenses in accounting and legal fees related to the increase in the sophistication and resources required for public company compliance and other needs arising from the growth and maturity of the Company;
−Removed: competing with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the markets in which we compete;
−Removed: maintaining high customer satisfaction and ensuring product and service quality;
−Removed: developing our indirect sales channels and strategic partner network;
−Removed: maintaining the quality of our technology infrastructure;
−Removed: establishing and increasing market awareness of our Company and enhancing our brand;
−Removed: consummating and integrating acquisitions;
−Removed: maintaining compliance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal obligations, including those related to intellectual property and drones;
−Removed: attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive labor market.
−Removed: These expenditures may not result in additional
−Removed: revenue or the growth of our business in the manner or to the extent anticipated or intended or at all.
−Removed: If we fail to grow revenue or
−Removed: to achieve or sustain profitability, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially adversely
−Removed: affected and the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.
−Removed: Rising threats of international tariffs, including tariffs applied
−Removed: to goods between the United States and China, may materially and adversely affect our business.
−Removed: Our B2C business has historically been dependent
−Removed: on Chinese imports for our products and operations.
−Removed: For example, a majority of our products are manufactured, directly and indirectly,
−Removed: using Chinese vendors.
−Removed: We do not have any written agreements with our other suppliers in China.
−Removed: We rely only on purchase orders.
−Removed: are inherent risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of our rights with respect to our oral agreements and purchase orders.
−Removed: Should our suppliers in China fail to honor our oral agreements and purchase orders we will not have any recourse against such suppliers
−Removed: under Chinese law.
−Removed: The legal system in China and the enforcement of laws, rules and regulations in China can change quickly and the Chinese
−Removed: government may intervene or influence the operations of our suppliers which would adversely impact our business insofar as we would have
−Removed: to seek other suppliers outside of China and such suppliers would most likely charge us more for our products.
−Removed: As a result of the recent
−Removed: United States presidential election, President Trump has imposed steep and additional tariffs on the importation from China of goods including
−Removed: the drones we use in our B2C business.
−Removed: This increase in tariffs imposed could materially and adversely affect our business and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: These tariffs apply to the vast majority of our respective inventory, and we have historically increased prices and may
−Removed: in the future be forced to implement additional price increases to adjust to the higher costs of inventory, which imposes the risk of
−Removed: reduced demand for such products and lower sales and resulting revenue.
−Removed: In addition, additional tariffs have been instituted on Chinese
−Removed: products and could see potential additional tariffs in the future.
−Removed: Under the current Trump administration, the imposition of additional
−Removed: tariffs fluctuates dramatically and have created uncertainty in the global markets.
−Removed: Future tariffs or any further costs or restrictions
−Removed: imposed on products that we import, could require us to raise our prices on our B2C products, which may result in the loss of customers
−Removed: and harm our business, particularly since we rely on consumer spending and our products are typically considered non-essential, and purchases
−Removed: are therefore highly price sensitive.
−Removed: In addition, changes in political conditions in
−Removed: China and changes in the state of China-United States relations, including any tensions relating to potential military conflict between
−Removed: China and Taiwan, are difficult to predict and could adversely affect the operations or financial condition of the Company.
−Removed: because of our B2C involvement in the Chinese market, any deterioration in political or trade relations might cause a public perception
−Removed: in the United States or elsewhere that might cause that business to become less attractive.
−Removed: Such an impact could adversely affect our
−Removed: revenues and cash flows.
−Removed: In addition to Chinese tariffs, one of our first B2B customers was a European company.
−Removed: If the European Union
−Removed: and other European countries react to the United States tariffs by imposing tariffs on United States made product including our drones,
−Removed: the trade war may make our B2B drone part too expensive.
−Removed: If the tariffs or other factors result in increased
−Removed: inflation and a recession, our business may be materially harmed .
−Removed: A direct impact from rising tariffs on our business
−Removed: will be increases in the prices of inventory we acquire and, most likely, an increase in our selling prices.
−Removed: Further, due to the tariffs
−Removed: and possibly large cuts in the size of the government, there may be increased unemployment and other economic factors which result in
−Removed: In such event, our B2C business may be materially and adversely affected.
−Removed: Further, our B2B business including our proposed
−Removed: manufacturing of drones in the United States may also be adversely affected by a recessionary economy and inflation.
−Removed: If our existing cash
−Removed: is insufficient to meet our working capital needs, and if we are then not able to obtain sufficient capital, we may be forced to limit
−Removed: the scope of our operations.
−Removed: We expect that our existing cash will be sufficient
−Removed: to meet our working capital needs for at least 12 months.
−Removed: However, due to our continued negative cash flow we may require substantial
−Removed: additional working capital.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that our businesses
−Removed: will reach profitability.
−Removed: If adequate additional debt and/or equity financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, then we
−Removed: may not be able to continue to develop our business activities, and we will have to modify our business plan.
−Removed: These factors could have
−Removed: a material adverse effect on our future operating results and our financial condition.
−Removed: Our ability to raise financing through sales of
−Removed: equity linked securities depends on general market conditions and the demand for our Common Stock.
−Removed: To the extent that we raise additional
−Removed: capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of stockholders will be diluted, and the terms
−Removed: may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders.
−Removed: Debt transactions often include
−Removed: restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to engage in strategic transactions, acquire complimentary businesses, or adjust to
−Removed: changing market environments as quickly or efficiently as we otherwise would or at all.
−Removed: Further, if adequate financing is not available
−Removed: or is unavailable on acceptable terms, we may find we are unable to fund our planned expansion, take advantage of acquisition opportunities,
−Removed: develop or enhance our products, or respond to competitive pressures in the industry which may jeopardize our ability to continue operations.
−Removed: If we lose key personnel, it may adversely
−Removed: affect our business.
−Removed: Our future success depends in large part on the
−Removed: continued contributions of our executive officers, members of senior management and other key personnel, particularly Dr.
−Removed: our Chief Executive Officer.
−Removed: Evans’ leadership, knowledge and experience in the drone industry is expected to be crucial to
−Removed: our business plan and any future successes and progress we experience.
−Removed: The loss of Dr.
−Removed: Evans’ services would therefore materially
−Removed: adversely affect our business and prospects.
−Removed: As a condition to the consummation of the IPO, we obtained “key person” insurance
−Removed: Evans but not for any other officers or employees.
−Removed: Our executive officers, senior management and key personnel are all employed
−Removed: on an at-will basis, which means that they could terminate their services with us at any time, for any reason and without notice.
−Removed: loss of any of our key management personnel could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives
−Removed: and adversely affect our business.
−Removed: Conflicts of interest
−Removed: involving our Board and other parties could materially harm our business.
−Removed: Our Board on which we
−Removed: heavily depend are or may become involved in other endeavors giving rise to conflicts of interests that are adverse to the Company.
−Removed: “Management” and “Corporate Governance.” Mr.
−Removed: Jeffrey Thompson, a member of our Board is the Chief Executive Officer
−Removed: of Red Cat, a drone company with which we partner on some of our B2B business.
−Removed: These arrangements could cause him to be unable or decline
−Removed: to devote sufficient time and attention to our Company and favor Red Cat, and/or to face a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise,
−Removed: adverse to us and in favor of Red Cat.
−Removed: Accordingly, from time-to-time our directors may not devote sufficient time and attention to our
−Removed: affairs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, and there can be no assurance that other conflicts of interest
−Removed: will not arise from their other business ventures, any of which could materially and adversely impact our business.
−Removed: Finally, Rotor Riot offers a variety of drone
−Removed: products through its website, which includes a number of product offerings from competitors in the drone industry.
−Removed: While these relationships
−Removed: have enabled us to generate revenue, by virtue of their involvement in the sale of drones and drone-related products these customers also
−Removed: have interests that are adverse to ours, and may determine to reduce their expenditures on our products in the future and/or to vertically
−Removed: integrate their operations to reduce or eliminate their reliance on our products.
−Removed: Any of the foregoing developments could result
−Removed: in materially adverse consequences to our Company, results of operations and financial condition.
+Added: Risks Related to Our Sale of Drone-Related
+Added: Products and Operations in the Drone Industry
+Added: Our failure to effectively manage our rapid
+Added: growth could harm our business and result in material adverse effects on our future operating results.
+Added: Businesses which grow rapidly may have difficulty
+Added: managing their growth.
+Added: With our recent enterprise orders and commencement of manufacturing, we are experiencing explosive growth.
+Added: addition to our legacy facility which we are presently using to assemble drones for a customer, we have opened two manufacturing facilities
+Added: and a fulfillment facility.
+Added: We also plan to open a battery pack assembly and drone camera facility late in 2026.
+Added: With this growth, we
+Added: have increased our headcount from 18 employees as of March 31, 2025, to 81 employees as of December 31, 2025, and have approximately
+Added: 141 employees as of March 6, 2026.
+Added: This growth will place a strain on our executive management team.
+Added: We may be unable to effectively
+Added: manage the growth, oversee our manufacturing facilities and maintain quality control, integrate our new hires into our company culture
+Added: and effectively deal with any human resource issues that may arise.
+Added: In addition, with our rapid growth, we need to retain an OSHA consultant
+Added: to identify, evaluate and control potential workplace hazards to prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
+Added: We intend to retain a consultant
+Added: to conduct such an assessment but there can be no assurance that any workplace hazards, injuries, illnesses and fatalities may occur.
+Added: As a result of these factors, we may face a material adverse effect on our business and future result of operations.
+Added: Because we have ordered
+Added: substantial inventory in some cases prior to receipt of purchase orders, if our assumptions about future purchase orders are incorrect,
+Added: it is possible that we may have to write off some of the inventory in the future.
+Added: Based upon communications with customers and
+Added: potential customers, we order inventory to not only fulfill actual purchase orders from customers but also to be able to fulfill future
+Added: customer orders assuming we receive them.
+Added: If we do not receive the anticipated orders for this inventory and if we are unable to otherwise
+Added: sell it, we may be required to increase our reserves or write off inventory in the future because it is obsolete.
+Added: Any such write off
+Added: could be material.
+Added: Increased inventory levels can also increase the
+Added: potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to materialize or if there are negative factors impacting our customers’
+Added: Such a risk becomes especially prevalent during a recession and market downturn.
+Added: If we purchase too much inventory, we may
+Added: have to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our gross
+Added: margins and on our results of operations.
+Added: Because of our dependence on significant customers,
+Added: our failure to generate revenue from those customers may impair our ability achieve projected financial results.
+Added: Beginning on September 30, 2025, we obtained
+Added: a number of new purchase orders from a limited number of customers.
+Added: On September 30, 2025, we announced a $12.8 million purchase order
+Added: for components supplying Strategic Logix’s (“SL”) Rapid Reconfigurable Systems Line.
+Added: There is no formal contract backstopping
+Added: this purchase order.
+Added: This purchase order represents the largest order that we have received.
+Added: We have, in the past, and expect for the foreseeable
+Added: future, to be dependent on a small number of customers, to generate a significant portion of our revenue, and these customers may change
+Added: periodically.
+Added: As a result, our financial results may be adversely affected if purchase orders from new or existing customers do not meet
+Added: our assumptions or if there is a default in a significant payment by any of our customers.
+Added: Furthermore, to the extent that any one customer
+Added: accounts for a large percentage of our revenue, the loss of that customer, or changes in their buying patterns or decisions, could materially
+Added: affect our financial results.
+Added: If our customers experience financial difficulties or business reversals, or lose orders or anticipated
+Added: orders, which may reduce or eliminate the need for the products which they ordered from us, they may be unable or unwilling to fulfill
+Added: their contracts with us.
+Added: There is also a risk that our customers will attempt
+Added: to impose new or additional requirements on us that reduce the profitability of the orders placed by those customers with us.
+Added: even if the orders are not changed, these orders may not generate margins equal to our recent historical or targeted results.
+Added: not book more orders with existing customers, or develop relationships with new customers, we may not be able to increase, or even maintain,
+Added: our revenue, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and/or prospects may be materially adversely affected.

and our business may be harmed.
−Removed: To increase our revenue, we must add new customers,
−Removed: upsell to our existing customers, enhance our products with features that set us apart from our competitors, and effectively develop and
−Removed: market new products including our B2B products that enable us to maintain and expand our brand and market share.
−Removed: Demand for our products
−Removed: is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.
−Removed: Additionally, the projections and estimates about the future
−Removed: success and growth of the drone industry and demand for drone-related products such as ours, could prove to be incorrect, in which case
−Removed: our results of operations and prospects will decline.
−Removed: For example, if a recession occurs in the United States or global economy, we expect
−Removed: that consumer spending, particularly for non-essential goods such as our drone products which are largely focused on recreational uses,
−Removed: may decline, limiting our ability to attract or maintain a sufficient customer base to achieve or maintain the revenue we seek in the
−Removed: development and sale of our products.
−Removed: Even if we do attract customers, the cost of new customer acquisition may prove so high as to prevent
−Removed: us from achieving or sustaining profitability.
−Removed: Our future success also depends on our ability
−Removed: to increase the use of our products and solutions within and across our existing customers and future customers.
−Removed: While we believe there
−Removed: is a significant opportunity to further expand within our existing customer base, including due to our planned employment of a “land-and-expand”
−Removed: business model in which we plan to establish relationships with new customers and grow those relationships over time by providing high
−Removed: quality products and services.
−Removed: Our growth prospects depend on our ability to persuade customers to buy more product, and if we fail to
−Removed: do so, our business goals and prospects may not be achieved to the extent sought or anticipated or at all.
−Removed: Future operating results and key metrics may
−Removed: fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict.
−Removed: Our operating results and key metrics could vary
−Removed: significantly from quarter-to-quarter as a result of various factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:
−Removed: delays in the receipt of orders from customers that are dependent on government orders;
−Removed: the effect that tariffs, a trade war and a potential recession may have on our business;
−Removed: delays in getting Blue List approval for additional drone components that we develop;
−Removed: the expansion or contraction of our customer base and the amount of products ordered;
−Removed: the size, duration and terms of our contracts with both existing and new customers, including distributors we contract with;
−Removed: seasonality of sales at Rotor Riot which generally has experienced higher sales volumes in October – December than in other three-month periods as a result of holiday purchases and its e-commerce focus;
−Removed: sales cycles which fluctuate and often include delays between the end of one product or solution’s cycle and the launch of a new product or solution to replace or supplement the prior offering;

−Removed: general economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as economic conditions specifically affecting industries in which our customers operate.
−Removed: Any one of these or other factors discussed elsewhere
−Removed: in this Annual Report may result in fluctuations in our operating results, meaning that quarter-to-quarter comparisons may not necessarily
−Removed: be indicative of our future performance.
−Removed: Any failures of or damage to, attack on or
−Removed: unauthorized access to our information technology systems or facilities or disruptions to our continuous operations, including the systems,
−Removed: facilities or operations of third parties with which we do business, such as resulting from cyber-attacks, could result in significant
−Removed: costs, reputational damage and limits on our ability to conduct our business activities.
−Removed: Our operations will depend on information technology
−Removed: infrastructure and computer systems, both internal and external, to, among other things, record and process customer and supplier data,
−Removed: marketing activities and other data and functions and to maintain that data and information securely.
−Removed: In recent years, several organizations
−Removed: have suffered successful cyber-attacks launched both domestically and from abroad, resulting in the disruption of services to customers,
−Removed: loss or misappropriation of sensitive or private data and reputational harm.
−Removed: If we are subject to a cyber-attack, we could suffer a similar
−Removed: breach or suspension in the future.
−Removed: Further, we may be unaware of a prior attack and the damage caused thereby until a future time when
−Removed: remedial actions cannot be taken.
−Removed: Cyber-threats are often sophisticated and are continually evolving.
−Removed: We may not implement effective
−Removed: systems and other measures to effectively identify, detect, prevent, mitigate, recover from or remediate the full diversity of cyber-threats or
−Removed: improve and adapt such systems and measures as such threats evolve and advance in their ability to avoid detection.
−Removed: A cyber-security incident, or a failure to
−Removed: protect our technology infrastructure, systems and information and our customers, suppliers and others’ information against cyber-security threats,
−Removed: could result in the theft, loss, unauthorized access to, disclosure, misuse or alteration of information, system failures or outages or
−Removed: loss of access to information.
−Removed: The expectations of our customers and regulators with respect to the resiliency of our systems and the
−Removed: adequacy of our control environment with respect to such systems may increase as the risk of cyber-attacks, and the consequences of those
−Removed: attacks become more pronounced.
−Removed: We may not be successful in meeting those expectations or in our efforts to identify, detect, prevent,
−Removed: mitigate and respond to such cyber-incidents or for our systems to recover in a manner that does not disrupt our ability to provide
−Removed: products and services to our customers or product personal, private or sensitive information about our business, customers or other third
−Removed: In July 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission
−Removed: (the “SEC”) approved final rules requiring public companies to report material cybersecurity incidents and disclose their
−Removed: cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance.
−Removed: The new rules required us to enhance our cybersecurity compliance efforts and
−Removed: have the effect of causing us to expend funds to prevent material cybersecurity incidents and begin making cybersecurity-related periodic
−Removed: and annual disclosures.
−Removed: Specifically, the new rules impose a new Form
−Removed: 8-K disclosure requirement about material cybersecurity incidents within four business days after we determine that a cybersecurity is
−Removed: Annually we will be required to disclose in our 10-K our processes, if any, to assess, identify and manage material risks from
−Removed: cybersecurity threats including whether we have hired third parties in connection with the processes.
−Removed: We also will be required to disclose
−Removed: whether any risks from cybersecurity threats have or are materially reasonably likely to materially affect us.
−Removed: Finally we must describe
−Removed: our Board’s oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats and management’s role in assessing and managing these risks.
−Removed: expect to incur material additional compliance and reporting costs, including monitoring, collecting, and analyzing data concerning cyber-security
−Removed: incidents and evaluating and preparing the required disclosure.
−Removed: We may also be required to incur third party compliance costs.
−Removed: The failure to maintain an adequate
−Removed: technology infrastructure and applications with effective cyber-security controls could impact operations, adversely affect our
−Removed: financial results, result in loss of business, damage our reputation or impact our ability to comply with regulatory obligations,
−Removed: leading to regulatory fines and sanctions.
−Removed: We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify,
−Removed: investigate or remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from cyber-security threats.
−Removed: Failing to prevent or properly
−Removed: respond to a cyber-attack could expose us to regulatory fees or civil liability, cause us to lose customers or suppliers,
−Removed: prevent us from offering our products including due to resulting regulatory action, impair our ability to maintain continuous
−Removed: operations, and inhibit our ability to meet regulatory requirements.
−Removed: Our failure to effectively manage our growth
−Removed: could harm our business.
−Removed: Businesses, including development stage companies
−Removed: such as ours which often grow rapidly, may have difficulty managing their growth.
−Removed: These challenges are exacerbated in circumstances such
−Removed: as ours following our acquisition of operating businesses and will be continued if we close any acquisitions including the Aloft Merger.
−Removed: We intend to expand the number and types of products we sell as we grow, if and as capital becomes available.
−Removed: Further, because of our
−Removed: reliance on consumer spending which depends on novelty and social trends, and the rapid and constant technologically advancements that
−Removed: characterize our industry, we are subject to periodic sales cycles.
−Removed: We will need to replace and regularly introduce on a timely basis
−Removed: new products and technologies, enhance existing products, and effectively stimulate customer demand for new products and upgraded or enhanced
−Removed: versions of our existing products.
−Removed: Similarly, because our product offerings are largely dependent on others’ drone-related products
−Removed: and activities, we may need to adjust or update as third parties advance or alter their technology and activities.
−Removed: If we are able to successfully
−Removed: develop, produce and market our products and initiate our planned manufacturing business, we will likely need to incur additional expenditures
−Removed: and expand our personnel with additional employees and consultants who are capable of providing the necessary support.
−Removed: We cannot assure
−Removed: you that our management will be able to manage our growth effectively or successfully.
−Removed: The replacement and expansion of our products
−Removed: is expected to place a significant strain on our management, operations and engineering resources.
−Removed: Specifically, the areas that are strained
−Removed: most by these activities include the following:
−Removed: New Product Launches:
−Removed: With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio, we will experience increased complexity in coordinating product development, manufacturing, and shipping.
−Removed: As this complexity increases, it places a strain on our ability to accurately coordinate the commercial launch of our products with adequate supply to meet anticipated customer demand and effectively market to stimulate demand and market acceptance.
−Removed: We may experience delays in our operations or product development or production efforts.
−Removed: If we are unable to scale and improve our product launch coordination, we could frustrate our customers and reduce or delay product sales;
−Removed: Existing Products Impacted by New Introductions :
−Removed: The introduction of new products or product enhancements may shorten the life cycle of our existing products, or replace sales of some of our current products, thereby offsetting the benefit of even a successful product introduction and may cause customers to defer purchasing our existing products in anticipation of the new products and potentially lead to challenges in managing inventory of existing products.
−Removed: We may also provide price protection to some of our retailers as a result of our new product introductions and reduce the prices of existing products.
−Removed: Granting these rights exposes us to greater risk of operational losses, as they limit our ability to react and adapt to changing economic conditions, such as rising costs caused by supply chain shortages.
−Removed: If we fail to effectively manage new product introductions, our revenue and ability to become profitable may be harmed;
−Removed: Forecasting, Planning and Supply Chain Logistics :
−Removed: With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio, we will experience increased complexity in forecasting customer demand, in planning for production, and in transportation and logistics management.
−Removed: If we are unable to scale and improve our forecasting, planning, production, and logistics management, we could frustrate our customers, lose product sales or accumulate excess inventory.
−Removed: Because we rely on a limited number of suppliers, including one
−Removed: key supplier, for our component parts our business may be adversely affected .
+Added: In order to grow and increases revenues, we are
+Added: subject to the following:
+Added: · In our enterprise channel, we must significantly
+Added: grow our existing customer base;
+Added: · While we have not sold any drone components for use in the Middle East, the
+Added: consequences of the ongoing conflicts are uncertain;
+Added: · While Russia’s war with Ukraine remains
+Added: ongoing, if that conflict is resolved, it many reduce on the need for our drone components;
+Added: · Both the United States and the global economies
+Added: can impact our enterprise drone components business since an economic downturn or a period of high inflation can reduce orders;
+Added: · Similarly, with our retail business, a recession
+Added: or a period of high inflation would be expected to adversely affect sales in our retail channel.
+Added: If critical components
+Added: or raw materials used to manufacture our products or used in its development programs become scarce or unavailable, then we may incur
+Added: delays in manufacturing and delivery of our products, which could damage our business.
+Added: Our ability to meet customers’ demands depends,
+Added: in part, on its ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of high-quality materials, components and subsystems, many of which are
+Added: obtained from a select group of specialized suppliers, including some sole-source providers.
+Added: In order to mitigate potential disruptions,
+Added: we maintain long-term, non-binding agreements with several key suppliers that help stabilize pricing, reduce lead times and enhance planning
+Added: We do not have long-term agreements with all suppliers that obligate them to continue to sell components, products required
+Added: to build our systems or products.
+Added: Our reliance on suppliers without long-term binding contracts involves significant risks and uncertainties,
+Added: including whether our suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required components or products of sufficient quality, will increase
+Added: prices for the components or products and will perform their obligations on a timely basis.
+Added: If any of our supplier’s face capacity constraints,
+Added: financial instability, or an unwillingness to provide raw materials or components to us, it may need to seek alternative suppliers or
+Added: revise its designs, particularly because some of the components are sourced from foreign countries.
+Added: Locating alternative sources may take
+Added: significant time, and even then, we may encounter significant delays in manufacturing and shipping and encounter increased costs.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: credit constraints among key suppliers could impact our cash flow.
+Added: We have also experienced rising costs for components, shipping, tariffs,
+Added: warehousing, and inventory.
+Added: Our domestic suppliers have experienced increased demand for their products due to tariffs, which could impact
+Added: the availability or price of our components.
+Added: The permanence of these cost increases remains uncertain, and obtaining replacement components
+Added: within our required time frames may prove challenging.
+Added: Shortages could lead to excess inventory and potential obsolescence risks.
+Added: In addition, certain raw materials and components
+Added: used in the manufacture of our products and in our development programs, are periodically subject to supply shortages, and our business
+Added: is subject to the risks of price increases and periodic delays in delivery.
+Added: Our ability to stay competitive
+Added: within our markets may be dependent upon increasing manufacturing capacity to support anticipated growth and achieving cost reductions
+Added: and projected economies of scale from increasing manufacturing quantities of its products.
+Added: Failing to adequately increase production capacity
+Added: and achieve such reductions in manufacturing costs and projected economies of scale could materially and adversely affect our business.
+Added: Our future growth depends on increasing manufacturing
+Added: capacity of its products, and any failure to adequately increase such capacity could have a material adverse impact on our business and
+Added: operating results.
+Added: We do not know whether or when we will be able to develop efficient, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes
+Added: that will enable it to manufacture its products in commercial quantities while meeting the volume, speed, quality, price, engineering,
+Added: design and production standards required to successfully market such products.
+Added: Our failure to develop such manufacturing processes and
+Added: capabilities that can efficiently service its clients and markets could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition,
+Added: results of operations and prospects.
+Added: Our ability to remain competitive is, in part, dependent upon achieving increased savings from volume
+Added: purchases of raw materials and component parts, achieving acceptable manufacturing yield and capitalizing on machinery efficiencies.
+Added: We are subject to a number of supply risks
+Added: concerning our Blue List products which could adversely impact our ability to deliver such products to the United States Government and
+Added: commercial customers.
+Added: We purchase certain Blue UAS products from a privately-held
+Added: United States based manufacturer pursuant to purchase orders.
+Added: We are subject to a number of risks including:
+Added: · we do not have a supply agreement requiring the
+Added: manufacturer to produce a specified volume per year;
+Added: · the manufacturer expects to deliver product quantities
+Added: to us over a pre-determined period which increases the likelihood we may be unable to meet a large order from one or more customers;
+Added: · beyond the initial purchase orders, we have no
+Added: assurances on future pricing which means future costs could adversely affect our marketing and future gross margins;
+Added: · because we have no non-compete from the manufacturer,
+Added: it could manufacture the same products for our competitors;
+Added: · we have no representations from the manufacturer
+Added: on its intellectual property ownership of our products;
+Added: · because we are not the manufacturer, we are subject
+Added: to a number of risks including timely deliveries and quality control.
+Added: Because we rely on a limited number of suppliers, for our component
+Added: parts our business may be adversely affected .
The drone industry relies on limited sources to
−Removed: supply certain components and materials used in the manufacturing of drones.
−Removed: Our intention is to purchase certain components or sub-components
−Removed: from suppliers based in the United States, which may lead us to pay higher prices, or select parts from a more limited number of suppliers
−Removed: relative to our competitors, which would adversely impact our gross margin and operating results.
−Removed: In addition, the imposition of tariffs
−Removed: by the United States and a trade war with China will significantly increase the cost of our component parts.
−Removed: We will also be forced to
−Removed: increase prices to our customers which could result in decreased sales, especially if there is an economic recession.

−Removed: suppliers, there can be no assurance that we could do so in a manner that does not disrupt the manufacture and sale of our products.
−Removed: Our reliance on single source, or a small number
−Removed: of suppliers involves a number of additional risks, including risks related to supplier capacity constraints, price increases, timely
−Removed: delivery, component quality, failure of a key supplier to remain in business and adjust to market conditions, delays in, or the inability
−Removed: to execute on, a supplier roadmap for components and technologies;
−Removed: and natural disasters, fire, acts of terrorism or other catastrophic

Any such event could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Several new and alternative suppliers have begun offering components suitable for use in our products.
−Removed: With new tooling and electronics,
−Removed: any one of these alternative components could be incorporated into our products but our costs could be higher, they may offer less performance,
−Removed: and, as a result, make our products too costly and less desirable.

+Added: the availability of PCBs, optics, and certain chips.
+Added: Any change in availability of these components, manufacturing or design partners
+Added: could result in delivery interruptions, which could adversely affect our operating results.
+Added: As we continue to develop our products, we must progress through the complex
+Added: and challenging processes involved in the technology and designs on which Fat Shark and Rotor Riot products are based.
+Added: Fat Shark and Rotor
+Added: Riot rely on third party suppliers for the resources needed to navigate these processes and expect to continue to rely on such parties
+Added: when we manufacture and market our component parts.
+Added: Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and service providers will entail risks
+Added: to which we may not be subject if our future operations were more vertically integrated, including:
+Added: · the ongoing supply chain shortages, and any future
+Added: supply chain and logistics challenges that we or our vendors may face in the future, including due to the reliance on lithium-ion batteries
+Added: and other materials for our products;
+Added: · the inability to meet any product specifications
+Added: and quality requirements consistently;
+Added: · the impact of tariffs, the availability of United
+Added: States supply sources and the impact of higher prices;
+Added: · discontinuation or recall of products or component
+Added: · manufacturing and product quality issues related
+Added: to scale-up of manufacturing;
+Added: · costs and validation of new equipment and facilities
+Added: required for scale-up;
+Added: · a failure to comply with applicable regulatory
+Added: and safety standards in the United States and foreign markets in which we or our collaborators operate;
+Added: · the inability to negotiate manufacturing and
+Added: service agreements with third parties under commercially reasonable terms;
+Added: · the possibility of breach or termination or nonrenewal
+Added: of agreements with third parties in a manner that is costly or damaging to our subsidiaries;
+Added: · Our subsidiaries do not always execute definitive
+Added: written agreements with their vendors, particularly those located in China, which exposes them to possible disputes concerning the existence
+Added: or terms of their agreements and their intellectual property rights;
+Added: · the reliance on a few sources, and sometimes,
+Added: single sources for raw materials and components, such that if they cannot secure a sufficient supply of these product components, they
+Added: cannot manufacture and sell products in a timely fashion, in sufficient quantities or under acceptable terms;
+Added: · operations of these third-party manufacturers,
+Added: suppliers or service providers could be disrupted by conditions unrelated to our subsidiaries’ business or operations, including
+Added: the bankruptcy of the party;
+Added: · carrier disruptions or increased costs beyond
+Added: our subsidiaries’ control;
+Added: · possible misappropriation of our subsidiaries’
+Added: proprietary technology;
+Added: · failing to deliver products under specified storage
+Added: conditions and in a timely manner.
+Added: Any of these factors could result in a material
+Added: and adverse affect upon our results of operations.
+Added: Because our new manufacturing business
+Added: has inherent risks, such risks may adversely impact us.
+Added: We have recently opened drone motor and drone
+Added: headset manufacturing facilities.
+Added: We are using our initial facility to assemble drones for a customer, and plan to open a
+Added: battery pack assembly and drone camera manufacturing facility in late 2026.
+Added: There are inherent risks in connection with launching
+Added: our component manufacturing business, which include:
+Added: · the need to expend working capital to purchase manufacturing equipment,
+Added: rent facilities and to hire personnel with the requisite skills to fabricate drone motors, headsets, batteries and cameras which could
+Added: initially have an adverse effect on our working capital;
+Added: · the manufacturing equipment and software that
+Added: we acquire may have bugs or may not be in sound working order and the products we manufacture may not be manufactured in accordance with
+Added: our or our customers specifications, which result in conflicts with customers, the loss of revenues or damage to our reputation;
+Added: · we may encounter cost overruns for a variety
+Added: of reasons which due to fixed priced customer orders leads to operating losses.
+Added: Our products, including motors, batteries, and
+Added: other advanced components, rely on rare earth metals for their manufacturing, of which a significant majority are sourced from China.
+Added: Any disruption in the supply of these metals could adversely affect our ability to produce and deliver our products.
+Added: Factors that might
+Added: lead to such disruptions include geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, supply chain bottlenecks, and environmental regulations affecting
+Added: mining operations.
+Added: A limited supply or increased cost of rare earth metals could lead to higher production costs, delays in manufacturing
+Added: schedules, and potential inability to meet customer demand, thereby impacting our revenue and growth plans.
+Added: Managing these risks necessitates
+Added: close monitoring of supply chains, diversification of suppliers, and the pursuit of alternative materials or technologies where possible.
+Added: Escalating restrictions between the U.S.
+Added: contribute to supply chain complexities.
+Added: Some of our components sourced from foreign countries, including China, are at risk of further
+Added: sanctions and other trade restrictive actions, and any escalation in global trade tensions or trade restrictions may hinder our ability
+Added: to obtain these components from new suppliers.
+Added: Restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and raw materials could lead to higher
+Added: material costs, material unavailability, and transportation uncertainty.
+Added: Product quality issues and a higher-than-expected
+Added: number of warranty claims or returns could harm our business and operating results.
+Added: The products that we sell including the new drone
+Added: motors, headsets and cameras we manufacture could contain defects in design or manufacture.
+Added: There can be no assurance we will be able
+Added: to detect and remedy all defects in the products we sell, which could result in product recalls, product redesign efforts, loss of revenue,
+Added: reputational damage and significant warranty and other remediation expenses.
+Added: Similar to other mobile and consumer electronics, our products
+Added: have a risk of overheating in the course of usage or upon malfunction.
+Added: Any such defect could result in harm to property or in personal
+Added: If we determine that a product does not meet product quality standards or may contain a defect, the launch of such product could
+Added: be delayed until we remedy the quality issue or defect.
+Added: The costs associated with any protracted delay necessary to remedy a quality
+Added: issue or defect in a new product could be substantial.
+Added: Fat Shark generally provides a one-year warranty
+Added: on all of its products, except in certain European countries where it can be two years for some consumer-focused products.
+Added: Rotor Lab does not provide any warranty, but does provide for a seven
+Added: day defect period.
+Added: Unusual Machines, the parent company which manufactures
+Added: motors, has a limited warranty in which it warrants to customers that their products will be free from defects in material and workmanship
+Added: under normal use and service for up to 90 days.
+Added: The limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature failures and extends only
+Added: to the original customer and is non-transferrable.
+Added: The occurrence of any material defects in our
+Added: products could expose us to liability for damages and warranty claims in excess of our current reserves, and we could incur significant
+Added: costs to correct any defects, warranty claims or other problems.
+Added: In addition, if any of our product designs are defective or are alleged
+Added: to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall campaign.
+Added: In part due to the terms of our warranty policies, any failure
+Added: rate of our products that exceeds our expectations may result in unanticipated losses.
+Added: Any negative publicity related to the perceived
+Added: quality of our products could affect our brand images and decrease retailer, distributor and consumer confidence and demand, which could
+Added: adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
+Added: Further, accidental damage coverage and extended warranties are regulated
+Added: in the United States at the state level and are treated differently within each state.
+Added: Additionally, outside of the United States, regulations
+Added: for extended warranties and accidental damage vary from country-to-country.
+Added: Changes in interpretation of the regulations concerning extended
+Added: warranties and accidental damage coverage on a federal, state, local or international level may cause us to incur costs or have additional
+Added: regulatory requirements to meet in the future in order to continue to offer its support services.
+Added: Our failure to comply with past, present
+Added: and future similar laws could result in reduced sales of its products, reputational damage, penalties and other sanctions, which could
+Added: harm our business.
+Added: Estimated future product warranty claims may be
+Added: based on a variety of factors including the expected number of field failures over the warranty commitment period, the term of the product
+Added: warranty period, and the costs for repair, replacement and other associated costs.
+Added: Because of the foregoing or other contingencies, these
+Added: estimates could prove to be incorrect, such that the warranty obligations are higher than anticipated.
+Added: Warranty obligations may be affected
+Added: by product failure rates, claims levels, material usage and product re-integration and handling costs.
+Added: Should actual product failure rates,
+Added: claims levels, material usage, product re-integration and handling costs, defects, errors, bugs or other issues differ from original estimates,
+Added: Fat Shark could end up incurring materially higher warranty or recall expenses than anticipated, which would materially adversely affect
+Added: our business.
+Added: If we lose key personnel, it may adversely
+Added: affect our business.
+Added: Our future success depends in large part on the
+Added: continued contributions of our executive officers, members of senior management and other key personnel, particularly Dr.
+Added: our Chief Executive Officer and Mr.
+Added: Andrew Camden, our President.
+Added: In particular, we believe that Dr.
+Added: Evans’ leadership, knowledge
+Added: and experience in the drone industry has been critical to our growth, our significant working capital and any future successes and progress
+Added: we may experience.
+Added: The loss of the services of Dr.
+Added: Camden could therefore materially and adversely affect our business and

−Removed: We face intense competition for a limited number of qualified individuals
−Removed: with the requisite skills and experience from numerous other companies, including other software and technology companies, many of whom
−Removed: have greater financial and other resources than we do.
−Removed: These companies also may provide more diverse opportunities and better chances
−Removed: for career advancement.
−Removed: Some of these characteristics may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than those we have to offer.
−Removed: addition, new hires often require significant training and, in many cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity.
−Removed: We may incur significant costs to attract and retain qualified personnel, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits
−Removed: and compensation expenses related to equity awards, and we may lose new employees to competitors or other companies before we realize
−Removed: the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them.
−Removed: Moreover, new employees may not be or become as productive as we expect,
−Removed: as we may face challenges in adequately or appropriately integrating them into our workforce and culture.
−Removed: In addition, if we move into
−Removed: new geographies, we will need to attract and recruit skilled personnel in those areas.
−Removed: We have limited experience with recruiting in geographic
−Removed: areas outside of the United States, and may face additional challenges in attracting, integrating and retaining international employees.
−Removed: If we are unable to attract, integrate and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing technical, operational
−Removed: and managerial requirements, on a timely basis or at all, our business will be adversely affected.
−Removed: Our new manufacturing
−Removed: business has inherent risks that may adversely impact us.
−Removed: The Company has hired
−Removed: a vice president of manufacturing whose role is to head up the Company’s proposed drone component manufacturing business.
−Removed: also plans to lease an additional facility near its headquarters office in Orlando, Florida, at which it will manufacture NDAA compliant
−Removed: drone motors.
−Removed: There are inherent risks in connection with launching our component manufacturing business, which include:
−Removed: · the need to expend working capital to purchase manufacturing equipment;
−Removed: rent a facility and to hire personnel
−Removed: with the requisite skills to fabricate our drones which could initially have an adverse effect on our working capital;
−Removed: · to the extent that there are delays in receiving the requisite equipment necessary to manufacture our
−Removed: drones and component parts, our customers for our products may seek alternative manufacturers and our manufacturing business could be
−Removed: adversely affected;
−Removed: · to the extent that any of the equipment that we purchase is sourced overseas, we may be impacted by tariffs
−Removed: imposed by the current administration;
−Removed: · the manufacturing equipment that we acquire may have bugs or may not be in sound working order and the
−Removed: products we manufacture may not be manufactured in accordance with our or our customers specifications, which result in conflicts with
−Removed: customers, the loss of revenues or damage to our reputation.
−Removed: Risks Related to Our Sale of Drone-Related
−Removed: Products and Operations in the Drone Industry.
−Removed: We operate in an emerging and rapidly evolving
−Removed: industry which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
−Removed: The drone industry is relatively new and is growing
−Removed: As a result, it is difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
−Removed: We cannot accurately predict whether, and even when,
−Removed: demand for our products will increase, if at all.
−Removed: The risks, uncertainties and challenges encountered by companies operating in emerging
−Removed: and rapidly growing industries include:
−Removed: generating sufficient revenue to cover operating costs and sustain operations;
−Removed: acquiring and maintaining market share;
−Removed: attracting and retaining qualified personnel;
−Removed: successfully developing and commercially marketing new products;
−Removed: complying with challenging supply chain issues which may arise;
−Removed: complying with developing regulatory requirements;
−Removed: the possibility that favorable estimates or projections prove to be incorrect;
−Removed: responding effectively to changing technology, evolving industry standards, and changing customer needs or requirements;
−Removed: accessing the capital markets to raise additional capital, on reasonable terms, if and when required to sustain operations or to grow the business.
−Removed: As such, our current expectations and projects
−Removed: about future events and trends may be different from the actual results.
−Removed: Furthermore, if we are unable to address any of the above challenges
−Removed: successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected by such failure.
−Removed: We face competition from larger companies that
−Removed: have substantially greater resources which challenges our ability to establish market share, grow the business, and reach profitability.
−Removed: industry is attracting a wide range of significantly larger companies which have substantially greater financial, management, research
−Removed: and marketing resources than we have.
−Removed: The drone hardware and parts and components spaces are dominated by larger Chinese companies such
−Removed: as SZ DJI Technology Company, Ltd and T-Motor.
−Removed: With respect to our FPV products, current and potential future competitors also include
−Removed: a variety of established, well-known diversified consumer electronics manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, LG Electronics (LGE), HTC,
−Removed: Lenovo, Epson, Yuneec, Boscam, Eachine, Walkera, SkyZone, MicroLED and large software and other products companies such as Alphabet Inc.
−Removed: (Google), Microsoft, Facebook and Snap.
−Removed: The large number of smaller and/or private companies focused on drone solutions also have competitive
−Removed: advantages over us which we may struggle to overcome, particularly as we seek to further establish and grow our customer base.
−Removed: Our competitors
−Removed: may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities than we can provide, including technical qualifications, pricing,
−Removed: and key technical support.
−Removed: Many of our competitors may utilize their greater resources to develop competing products and technologies,
−Removed: leverage their financial strength to utilize economies of scale and offer lower pricing, and hire more qualified personnel by offering
−Removed: more generous compensation packages.
−Removed: On the other hand, other small business competitors may be able to offer more cost competitive solutions
−Removed: or may be able to adapt more quickly to market developments due to lower overhead costs, leveraging of their professional relationships
−Removed: and networks, geographic or specialty focuses or greater flexibility inherent in smaller operations and a lower number of personnel.
−Removed: Among product and service features that drive
−Removed: competition in our industry are breadth of product line, quality and durability of products, stability, reliability and reputation of
−Removed: the provider, along with cost.
−Removed: Quantity discounts, price erosion, and rapid product obsolescence due to technological improvements are
−Removed: therefore common in our industry as competitors strive to retain or expand market share.
−Removed: The Company’s ability to compete effectively
−Removed: will depend on, among other things, the Company’s pricing models, quality of customer service, development of new and enhanced products
−Removed: and services in response to customer demands and changing technology, reach and quality of sales and distribution channels and capital
−Removed: Competition could lead to an inability to sustain sales levels, a reduction in the rate at which the Company adds new customers,
−Removed: a decrease in the size of the Company’s market share and a decline in its customers and revenue.
−Removed: In order to secure sales, we may
−Removed: have to offer comparable products and services at lower pricing, which could adversely affect our operating margins.
−Removed: Our inability to
−Removed: compete effectively against these larger companies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
−Removed: The development and manufacture of FPV goggles
−Removed: encompasses several complex processes and several steps of our production processes are dependent upon third party vendors, supply chains,
−Removed: the availability of PCBs, optics, and certain chips.
−Removed: Any change in availability of these components, manufacturing or design partners
−Removed: could result in delivery interruptions, which could adversely affect our operating results.
−Removed: As we continue to develop our products, we must
−Removed: progress through the complex and challenging processes involved in the technology and designs on which Fat Shark and Rotor Riot products
−Removed: Fat Shark and Rotor Riot rely on third party suppliers for the resources needed to navigate these processes and expect to
−Removed: continue to rely on such parties when we reach the manufacturing and marketing stages.
−Removed: Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and service
−Removed: providers will entail risks to which we may not be subject if our future operations were more vertically integrated, including:
−Removed: the ongoing supply chain shortages, and any future supply chain and logistics challenges that we or our vendors may face in the future, including due to the reliance on lithium-ion batteries and other materials for our products;
−Removed: the inability to meet any product specifications and quality requirements consistently;
−Removed: the impact of tariffs, the availability of United States supply sources
−Removed: and the impact of higher prices;
−Removed: discontinuation or recall of products or component parts;
−Removed: manufacturing and product quality issues related to scale-up of manufacturing;
−Removed: costs and validation of new equipment and facilities required for scale-up;
−Removed: a failure to comply with
−Removed: applicable regulatory and safety standards in the United States and foreign markets in which we or our collaborators
−Removed: the inability to negotiate manufacturing and service agreements with third parties under commercially reasonable terms;
−Removed: the possibility of breach or termination or nonrenewal of agreements with third parties in a manner that is costly or damaging to us;
−Removed: we do not always execute definitive written agreements with our vendors, particularly those located in China, which exposes us to possible disputes concerning the existence or terms of our agreements and our intellectual property rights;
−Removed: the reliance on a few sources, and sometimes, single sources for raw materials and components, such that if we cannot secure a sufficient supply of these product components, we cannot manufacture and sell products in a timely fashion, in sufficient quantities or under acceptable terms;
−Removed: operations of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers or service providers could be disrupted by conditions unrelated to our business or operations, including the bankruptcy of the party;
−Removed: carrier disruptions or increased costs beyond our control;
−Removed: possible misappropriation of our proprietary technology;
−Removed: failing to deliver products under specified storage conditions and in a timely manner.
−Removed: Our product technology and manufacturing processes
−Removed: are evolving, which can result in production challenges and difficulties.
−Removed: We may be unable to produce our products in sufficient quantity
−Removed: and quality to maintain existing customers and attract new customers.
−Removed: In addition, we may experience manufacturing problems which could
−Removed: result in delays in delivery of orders or product introductions.
−Removed: Any of these events could lead to production and marketing delays or
−Removed: failure or impact on our ability to successfully commercialize our products.
−Removed: If we fail to contract with third parties on favorable terms,
−Removed: coordinate with and supervise their services and contributions to our processes, and leverage those relationships to deliver quality products
−Removed: in a timely manner to customers, we could experience reductions or delays in revenue, reputational harm and diminished brand recognition,
−Removed: higher than expected expenses, or other adverse developments that would materially harm our business.
−Removed: Several steps of our production processes are
−Removed: dependent upon certain critical machines and tools which could result in delivery interruptions and foregone revenues.
−Removed: Fat Shark currently has no equipment redundancy
−Removed: to manufacture its products, meaning we will rely on a limited number of machines to perform a large quantity of steps in the manufacturing
−Removed: and assembly processes.
−Removed: Rotor Riot is limited by the number of personnel it has on staff to assemble drones and drone parts.
−Removed: among other things, delay delivery timelines or reduce our revenue and accounts receivable, and/or force us to rely more heavily on third
−Removed: parties to meet customer deadlines or volume demands, either of which will adversely affect our results of operation and ability to achieve
−Removed: and maintain profitability.
−Removed: If we experience any significant disruption in assembling, a failure of a critical piece of equipment, or
−Removed: an inability to hire personnel, we may be unable to supply products to our customers in a timely manner.
−Removed: Interruptions could be caused
−Removed: by us or our partners including but not limited to equipment problems, the introduction of new equipment into the manufacturing process
−Removed: or delays in the delivery of new equipment.
−Removed: Lead-time for delivery, installation, testing, repair and maintenance of equipment can be
−Removed: We can provide no assurances that we will not lose potential sales or be able to meet production orders due to future production
−Removed: interruptions in our manufacturing lines.
−Removed: When we commence manufacturing drones, the same risks will apply.
−Removed: We may not be able
−Removed: to procure necessary key components for our products or may produce or purchase too much inventory.
−Removed: The drone industry, and
−Removed: the electronics industry as a whole, can be subject to business cycles.
−Removed: During periods of growth and high demand for products, we may
−Removed: not have adequate supplies of inventory on hand to satisfy customers’ needs.
−Removed: The imposition of tariffs and a trade war may also
−Removed: impact our supply chain for component parts from China.
−Removed: Furthermore, during these periods of growth, our suppliers may also experience
−Removed: high demand and, therefore, may not have adequate levels of the components and other materials that the Company requires to manufacture
−Removed: products so that it can meet customers’ needs.
−Removed: Our inability to secure sufficient components to produce products for customers,
−Removed: or similar challenges faced by the drone manufacturers we serve, could negatively impact our sales and operating results.
−Removed: We may choose
−Removed: to mitigate this risk by increasing the levels of inventory for certain key components assuming we have available cash resources.
−Removed: inventory levels can increase the potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to materialize or if there are
−Removed: negative factors impacting our customers’ end markets.
−Removed: Such a risk becomes especially prevalent during a recession and market downturn.
−Removed: If we purchase too much inventory, we may have to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could
−Removed: have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and on our results of operations.
−Removed: Lack of long-term purchase orders and commitments
−Removed: from customers in our B2C business may lead to a rapid decline in sales.
−Removed: Our B2C customers issue purchase orders or use
−Removed: our e-commerce site solely at their own discretion, often shortly before the requested date of shipment.
−Removed: Both our distributor relationships
−Removed: and our online sales through Rotor Riot entail short-term contracts under which customers are generally able to cancel orders (without
−Removed: penalty) or delay the delivery of products on relatively short notice, regardless of whether or not we are in default under our agreements.
−Removed: The online business involves retail customers who are not likely to be repeat customers unless a need arises for updated hardware or software
−Removed: solutions offered by us, which may not occur on a frequent basis, resulting in lack of reliable recurring revenue in that part of our
−Removed: In addition, current customers may decide not to purchase products for any reason.
−Removed: If those customers do not continue to purchase
−Removed: products, sales volume could decline rapidly with little or no warning.
−Removed: We cannot rely on long-term purchase orders or
−Removed: commitments to protect from the negative financial effects of a decline in demand for products.
−Removed: Unusual Machines typically plans production
−Removed: and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially.
−Removed: resellers issue purchase orders but they have options to reschedule or pay cancellation fees.
−Removed: The uncertainty of product orders makes
−Removed: it difficult to forecast sales and allocate resources in a manner consistent with actual sales.
−Removed: Moreover, expense levels and the amounts
−Removed: invested in capital equipment and new product development costs are based in part on expectations of future sales and, if expectations
−Removed: regarding future sales are inaccurate, we may be unable to reduce costs in a timely manner to adjust for sales shortfalls.
−Removed: of lack of long-term purchase orders and purchase commitments, and long product development lead times, we may experience a rapid decline
−Removed: As a result of these and other factors, investors
−Removed: should not rely on revenues and operating results for any one quarter or year as an indication of future revenues or operating results.
−Removed: Further, our B2C business is seasonal with retail sales peaking in the fourth quarter.
−Removed: If quarterly revenues or results of operations
−Removed: fall below expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of our Common Stock could fall substantially.
−Removed: Our products require ongoing research and development
−Removed: and may experience technical problems or delays, which could lead the business to fail.
−Removed: Our future research and development efforts will
−Removed: remain subject to all of the risks associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative technologies, including,
−Removed: for example, unexpected technical problems or the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products.
−Removed: problems or delays arise, further improvements in products and the introduction of future products could be adversely impacted, and we
−Removed: could incur significant additional expenses and the business may fail.
−Removed: Additionally, we may deploy significant capital or human resources
−Removed: towards developing or improving upon a product, only for such efforts fail to yield the results we hoped for or intended, which would
−Removed: materially adversely affect our financial condition.
−Removed: This is an acute risk given the relatively new and evolving nature of the drone industry,
−Removed: and constant entrance of new market participants attempting to compete with us.
−Removed: Similarly, if we invest in product research and development
−Removed: efforts and a competitor brings a similar product to market before us, or alleges an infringement of their intellectual property, our
−Removed: ability to market the product or compete effectively could be lost.
−Removed: Any such development could materially harm our business.
+Added: We face intense competition for a limited number of qualified middle
+Added: management individuals with the requisite skills and experience from numerous other companies, including other software and technology
+Added: companies, many of whom have greater financial and other resources than we do.
+Added: These companies also may provide more diverse opportunities
+Added: and better chances for career advancement.
+Added: Some of these characteristics may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than those we
+Added: have to offer.
+Added: Potential new employees may be unwilling or unable to relocate to the Orlando, Forida area.
+Added: In addition, new hires often
+Added: require significant training and, in many cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity.
+Added: We may incur significant
+Added: costs to attract and retain qualified personnel, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation
+Added: expenses related to equity awards, and we may lose new employees to competitors or other companies before we realize the benefit of our
+Added: investment in recruiting and training employees.
+Added: Moreover, new employees may not be or become as productive as we expect, as we may face

+Added: Future growth and ability to generate and grow
+Added: revenue and achieve or maintain profitability may be adversely affected if our marketing initiatives are not effective in generating sufficient
+Added: levels of brand awareness .
+Added: Our future growth and profitability will depend
+Added: in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing efforts, including our ability to:
+Added: · create awareness of brands and products;
+Added: · convert awareness into actual product purchases;
+Added: · effectively manage marketing costs (including
+Added: creative and media) in order to maintain acceptable operating margins and return on marketing investment;
+Added: · successfully offer to sell products or license
+Added: technology to third-party companies for sale.
+Added: Planned marketing expenditures are unknown and
+Added: may not result in increased total sales or generate sufficient levels of product and brand name awareness.
+Added: We may not be able to manage
+Added: marketing expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
+Added: If our facilities
+Added: and information technology systems or those of our key suppliers are damaged as a result of disasters or unpredictable events, it could
+Added: have an adverse effect on our business operations.
+Added: Our new manufacturing facilities are located in
+Added: Orlando, Florida.
+Added: We also rely on third-party manufacturing plants in the U.S., Asia and other parts of the world to provide key components
+Added: for our products.
+Added: If major disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemics, earthquakes, fires, floods, wars, terrorist attacks, computer
+Added: viruses, transportation disasters or other events occur in any of these locations, or our information technology systems or communications
+Added: network or those of any of its key component suppliers breaks down or operates improperly as a result of such events, its facilities or
+Added: those of its key suppliers may be seriously damaged, and we may have to stop or delay production and shipment of its products.
+Added: also incur expenses relating to such damages.
+Added: If production or shipment of our products or components is stopped or delayed or if we incur
+Added: any increased expenses as a result of damage to its facilities, its business, operating results and financial condition could be materially
+Added: and adversely affected.
+Added: Any failures of or damage to, attack on or
+Added: unauthorized access to our information technology systems or facilities or disruptions to our continuous operations, including the systems,
+Added: facilities or operations of third parties with which we do business, such as resulting from cybersecurity attacks, could result in significant
+Added: costs, reputational damage and limits on our ability to conduct our business activities.
+Added: Our operations depend on information technology
+Added: infrastructure and computer systems, both internal and external, to, among other things, record and process customer and supplier data,
+Added: marketing activities and other data and functions and to maintain that data and information securely.
+Added: In recent years, a number of
+Added: companies have suffered successful cybersecurity attacks launched both domestically and from abroad, resulting in the disruption
+Added: of services to customers, loss or misappropriation of sensitive or private data and reputational harm.
+Added: If we are subject to a cybersecurity
+Added: attack, we could suffer a similar breach or suspension in the future.
+Added: Further, we may be unaware of a prior attack and the damage caused
+Added: thereby until a future time when remedial actions cannot be taken.
+Added: Cybersecurity threats are often sophisticated and are continually
+Added: We may not implement effective systems and other measures to effectively identify, detect, prevent, mitigate, recover from or
+Added: remediate the full diversity of cybersecurity threats or improve and adapt such systems and measures as such threats evolve and advance
+Added: in their ability to avoid detection.
+Added: A cybersecurity incident, or a failure to
+Added: protect our technology infrastructure, systems and information and our customers, suppliers and others’ information against cybersecurity threats,
+Added: could result in the theft, loss, unauthorized access to, disclosure, misuse or alteration of information, system failures or outages or
+Added: loss of access to information.
+Added: The expectations of our customers with respect to the resiliency of its systems and the adequacy of its
+Added: control environment with respect to such systems may increase as the risk of cybersecurity attacks, and the consequences of those attacks
+Added: become more pronounced.
+Added: We may not be successful in meeting those expectations or in its efforts to identify, detect, prevent, mitigate
+Added: and respond to such cybersecurity incidents or for its systems to recover in a manner that does not disrupt its ability to provide
+Added: products and services to its customers or product personal, private or sensitive information about its business, customers or other third
+Added: The failure to maintain an adequate
+Added: technology infrastructure and applications with effective cybersecurity controls could impact operations, adversely affect our
+Added: financial results, result in loss of business, damage our reputation or impact our ability to comply with regulatory obligations,
+Added: leading to regulatory fines and sanctions.
+Added: We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify,
+Added: investigate or remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from cybersecurity threats.
+Added: Failing to prevent or properly
+Added: respond to a cybersecurity attack could expose to civil liability, cause us to lose customers or suppliers, impair its ability to
+Added: maintain continuous operations, and inhibit our ability to meet regulatory requirements.
+Added: If we fail to comply with United States and
+Added: foreign laws related to privacy, data security, and data protection, it could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
+Added: We, either directly or through our customers,
+Added: collaborators or end-users of our products, are or may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection,
+Added: and data security.
+Added: This includes the European Union’s (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (the “EU GDPR”)
+Added: and the United Kingdom’s General Data Protection Regulations (the “UK GDPR”) (collectively, the “GDPR”)
+Added: and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”).
+Added: Other countries where we may
+Added: seek to do business also may have data privacy laws we will be required to comply with.
+Added: These laws and regulations are continuously evolving
+Added: and developing.
+Added: The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting,
+Added: particularly with respect to foreign laws.
+Added: The application of these laws and regulations can arise from our e-commerce platform, social
+Added: media activities, drone technology and applications, relationships with third parties and their operations, or from other activities
+Added: we undertake now or that we may undertake in the future.
+Added: Data privacy and protection regulations are frequently broad in terms of scope
+Added: of the information protected, activities affected, and geographic reach.
+Added: In the United States federal, state, and local
+Added: governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data and privacy laws,
+Added: consumer protection laws and other similar laws.
+Added: states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws that impose significant
+Added: and costly obligations on covered business, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain
+Added: rights concerning their personal data.
+Added: As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct or delete certain personal
+Added: data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling and automated decision-making.
+Added: exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to effectively provide our products and services..
+Added: Moreover, specific states also impose more stringent
+Added: requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments.
+Added: These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance.
+Added: For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 applies to personal
+Added: data of consumers, business representatives and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses subject to the law to
+Added: provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and respond to requests of such individuals to exercise certain privacy rights.
+Added: 2025, (and effective January 1, 2026) California amended the CCPA to (i) regulate technologies that replace or substantially replace human
+Added: decisions, (ii) require comprehensive risk assessment reports that address specific processing activities that present a significant risk
+Added: to a consumer’s privacy, and (iii) clarify when a cyber security audit must be conducted.
+Added: These updated regulations expand the scope
+Added: and compliance obligations of the CCPA.
+Added: The CCPA provides for fines of up to $2,500 per unintentional violation and up to $7,500 per intentional
+Added: violation (as adjusted from time to time) and allows individuals affected by certain data breaches to recover statutory damages up to
+Added: $750 per consumer per incident.
+Added: The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the CCPA, GDPR, and similar laws may limit
+Added: the use and adoption of our products and services and/or require us to incur substantial compliance costs, which could have an adverse
+Added: impact on our business.
+Added: As noted, in addition to the CCPA, the United
+Added: States currently has a number of states that have data privacy laws in place, or data privacy laws set to soon take effect ranging from
+Added: narrow to comprehensive in nature.
+Added: During the 2025 legislative cycle, comprehensive privacy reform was not prevalent in state legislatures,
+Added: but several states with existing privacy statutes expanded the scope of their privacy frameworks, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia,
+Added: Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and Kentucky.
+Added: This patchwork approach to privacy legislation could pose compliance and liability risks for
+Added: companies that have multistate operations.
+Added: Proposed and enacted bills in various states have similar rights in preexisting privacy legislation
+Added: but differ in implementation and enforcement.
+Added: Outside of the United States, an increasing number
+Added: of laws, regulations and industry standards govern data privacy and security.
+Added: For example, the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, and PIPEDA (as well
+Added: as various related provincial laws) impose strict requirements for processing personal data.
+Added: Specifically, in Europe and the United Kingdom,
+Added: companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions including fines of up to €20 million
+Added: under the EU GDPR, £17.5 million under the UK GDPR or, in each case, 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater or private
+Added: litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized
+Added: at law to represent their interests.
+Added: In Europe, the Network and Information Security Directive (“NIS2”) regulates resilience
+Added: and incident response capabilities of entities operating in a number of sectors.
+Added: Non-compliance with NIS2 may lead to administrative fines
+Added: of up to €10 million or up to 2% of the total worldwide revenue of the preceding fiscal year.
+Added: We seek to comply with all applicable laws, policies,
+Added: legal obligations, and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy, data security, and data protection.
+Added: Our cash resources may adversely
+Added: affect our compliance effort.
+Added: Given that the scope, interpretation, and application of these laws and regulations are often uncertain
+Added: and may be in conflict across jurisdictions, it is possible that these obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is
+Added: inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices.
+Added: Any failure or perceived failure by
+Added: us, customers, or third-party vendors or end-users involved with our products to comply with our privacy or security policies or privacy-related
+Added: legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personal data, may result in
+Added: governmental enforcement actions, litigation, or negative publicity, and could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial
+Added: Governments are continuing to focus on privacy
+Added: and data security, and it is possible that new privacy or data security laws will be passed or existing laws will be amended in a way
+Added: that is material to our business.
+Added: Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, or industry practices regarding the personal
+Added: data of our employees, agents or customers could require us to modify our practices and may limit our ability to expand or sustain our
+Added: salesforce or bring our products to market.
+Added: Changes to applicable laws and regulations in this area could subject us to additional regulation
+Added: and oversight, any of which could significantly increase our operating costs and materially affect our operating results and financial

−Removed: not the direct cause of the issue.
−Removed: Any claims against us, regardless of their merit, could severely harm our financial condition, strain
−Removed: our management and other resources.
+Added: If a consumer causes damage to a person or property using a Rotor
+Added: Riot drone, it as a reseller of the drone could be sued for selling an allegedly defective product.
+Added: The possibility that the foregoing
+Added: events occur from events involving our B2B and business to consumer (“B2C”) channels products is particularly high, because
+Added: we supply technology used in the operation of drones which is relatively novel.
+Added: Drones are frequently operated at high speeds and altitudes,
+Added: and often in densely populated areas and/or by individuals who lack a high level of experience operating them.
+Added: These characteristics increase
+Added: the probability that injury or damage to personal property might occur, even absent a defect.

+Added: we may not be able to obtain it at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability.
product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could cause our stock price to decline and, would adversely affect our
results of operations and business.
−Removed: Our business is highly dependent upon our brand
−Removed: recognition and reputation, and the failure to maintain or enhance our brand recognition or reputation, including due to our high reliance
−Removed: on online and social media platforms, would likely adversely affect our business and operating results.
−Removed: We believe that maintaining and enhancing Fat
−Removed: Shark and Rotor Riot brand identity, and our reputation are critical to our relationships with customers and strategic partners and to
−Removed: our ability to attract new customers and strategic partners.
−Removed: We also believe that the importance of our brand recognition and reputation
−Removed: will continue to increase as competition in our market continues to develop.
−Removed: Our success in this area will depend on a wide range of factors,
−Removed: some of which are beyond our control, including the following:
−Removed: the efficacy of our marketing efforts;
−Removed: our ability to obtain new customers and retain and/or expand sales or upsell to existing customers;
−Removed: our ability to maintain high customer satisfaction;
−Removed: the quality and perceived value of our products;
−Removed: our ability to obtain,
−Removed: maintain and enforce patents and trademarks and other indicia of origin, will be critical to our business plan;
−Removed: our ability to successfully differentiate from competitors’ products;
−Removed: actions of competitors and other third parties;
−Removed: our ability to provide customer support and professional services;
−Removed: positive or negative publicity;
−Removed: litigation or regulatory related developments.
−Removed: Any of the foregoing developments or an inability
−Removed: to navigate these or other challenges to establish and grow our brand recognition and current and future product popularity could materially
+Added: We face competition from larger companies
+Added: that have substantially greater resources which challenges our ability to establish market share, grow the business, and reach profitability.
+Added: The markets in which we operate include a range
+Added: of established manufacturers, distributors, and emerging companies that develop and supply components used in small unmanned aerial systems.
+Added: These components include flight controllers, electronic speed controllers, motors, FPV cameras, video transmission systems, and related
+Added: Competitors in these markets include companies such as ePropelled, ARK Electronics, ModalAI, Orqa, Lumenier, and other drone
+Added: and FPV component manufacturers, as well as a large number of smaller private companies that specialize in individual components or subsystems
+Added: within the drone ecosystem.
+Added: Some competitors have significantly greater financial,
+Added: manufacturing, technical, and marketing resources than we do.
+Added: These companies may benefit from established global supply chains, broader
+Added: product portfolios, larger engineering teams, and greater brand recognition.
+Added: Larger competitors may also be able to leverage economies
+Added: of scale to offer products at lower prices or devote greater resources to research and development and marketing.
+Added: At the same time, the
+Added: industry includes numerous smaller competitors that may operate with lower overhead costs, narrow product specialization, or established
+Added: relationships within specific drone markets or communities.
+Added: Competition in our industry is driven by several
+Added: factors, including product performance and reliability, pricing, product availability, supply chain stability, speed of product development,
+Added: customer support, and brand reputation.
+Added: Rapid technological development in the drone industry results in frequent product introductions
+Added: and relatively short product life cycles.
+Added: As a result, companies must continuously invest in product development and manufacturing capabilities
+Added: to remain competitive.
+Added: In addition, regulatory developments and government
+Added: procurement requirements are influencing the competitive landscape for drone components.
+Added: Certain government and commercial customers increasingly
+Added: require components that comply with U.S.
+Added: regulatory frameworks, including the NDAA and related procurement requirements.
+Added: Recent regulatory
+Added: actions by U.S.
+Added: agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, as well as government initiatives intended to strengthen domestic
+Added: drone manufacturing capabilities, may further shape the market for drone components.
+Added: Our strategy includes developing and manufacturing
+Added: certain drone components in the United States and pursuing compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks.
+Added: However, there can be no
+Added: assurance that these efforts will provide a competitive advantage or that customers will adopt such products at scale.
+Added: Our ability to compete effectively will depend
+Added: on a number of factors, including our ability to develop and introduce new products, maintain product quality and reliability, manage
+Added: manufacturing and supply chain operations, expand production capacity, maintain effective sales and distribution channels, and provide
+Added: responsive customer support.
+Added: Increased competition could result in pricing pressure, reduced margins, or loss of market share, any of
+Added: which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
+Added: We operate in an emerging and rapidly evolving
+Added: industry which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
+Added: The drone industry is relatively new and is growing
+Added: As a result, it is difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
+Added: We cannot accurately predict whether, and even when,
+Added: demand for our products will increase, if at all.
+Added: The risks, uncertainties and challenges encountered by companies operating in emerging
+Added: and rapidly growing industries include:
+Added: · generating sufficient revenue to cover operating
+Added: costs and sustain operations;
+Added: · acquiring and maintaining market share;
+Added: · attracting and retaining qualified personnel;
+Added: · successfully developing and commercially marketing
+Added: new products;
+Added: · complying with challenging supply chain issues
+Added: which may arise;
+Added: · complying with developing regulatory requirements;
+Added: · the possibility that favorable estimates or projections
+Added: prove to be incorrect;
+Added: · responding effectively to changing technology,
+Added: evolving industry standards, and changing customer needs or requirements.
+Added: As such, our current expectations and projects
+Added: about future events and trends may be different from the actual results.
+Added: Furthermore, if we are unable to address any of the above challenges
+Added: successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected by such failure.
+Added: If we fail to respond
+Added: to commercial industry cycles in terms of its cost structure, manufacturing capacity, and/or personnel needs, our business could be seriously
+Added: The timing, length, and severity of the up-and-down
+Added: cycles in the commercial and defense industries are difficult to predict.
+Added: This cyclical nature of the industries in which we operate affects
+Added: our ability to accurately predict future revenue, and in some cases, future expense levels.
+Added: During down cycles in its industry, the financial
+Added: results of our customers may be negatively impacted, which could result not only in a decrease in orders but also a weakening of their
+Added: financial condition that could impair our ability to recognize revenue or to collect on outstanding receivables.
+Added: When cyclical fluctuations
+Added: result in lower than expected revenue levels, operating results may be adversely affected and cost reduction measures may be necessary
+Added: in order for us to remain competitive and financially sound.
+Added: We must be in a position to adjust its cost and expense structure to reflect
+Added: prevailing market conditions and to continue to motivate and retain its key employees.
+Added: If we fail to respond to fluctuating market conditions
+Added: its business could be seriously harmed.
+Added: In addition, during periods of rapid growth, we must be able to increase engineering and manufacturing
+Added: capacity and personnel to meet customer demand.
+Added: We can provide no assurance that these objectives can be met in a timely manner in response
+Added: to industry cycles.
+Added: Each of these factors could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.
+Added: If the tariffs or other factors result in increased
+Added: inflation and a recession, our business may be materially harmed .
+Added: A direct impact from rising tariffs on our business
+Added: has been increases in the prices of inventory we acquire and an increase in our selling prices (with one exception relating to our Unusual
+Added: Machines branded B2C products).
+Added: Further, due to the tariffs, possibly large cuts in the size of the government and possibly artificial
+Added: intelligence (“AI”), there may be increased unemployment and other economic factors which could result in a recession.
+Added: such event, our B2C business may be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: Further, our enterprise business including our manufacturing of
+Added: drone components in the United States may also be adversely affected by a recessionary economy and inflation caused not only by tariffs
+Added: but also by United States interest rate cuts.
+Added: The uncertainty and change in U.S.
+Added: Tariff Policy could adversely affect our business.
+Added: Recent judicial rulings
+Added: have introduced significant uncertainty regarding the legal basis for U.S.
+Added: tariff policy.
+Added: On February 20, 2026, the U.S.
+Added: Supreme Court
+Added: held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA” ) does not authorize the President to impose
+Added: broad tariffs, invalidating major tariff measures that had been implemented under that statute.
+Added: The decision emphasized that tariff-setting
+Added: authority resides with Congress and that IEEPA does not include an express grant of such authority.
+Added: As a result, tariffs collected under
+Added: IEEPA may be subject to refund actions, and lower courts may provide further guidance on refunds and enforcement.
+Added: Although the ruling applies
+Added: to tariffs imposed under IEEPA, the President has publicly signaled intentions to pursue alternative tariff measures (such as a 15% tariff
+Added: on imported goods) under other statutory frameworks.
+Added: These alternative legal authorities (e.g., provisions of the Trade Act of 1974 , Trade
+Added: Expansion Act, or other trade statutes) may be subject to legal challenge, statutory limitations, procedural requirements, and potential
+Added: judicial scrutiny.
+Added: There is no assurance that such alternative tariffs will withstand litigation, will not be delayed, will be upheld
+Added: by courts, or will not be amended or repealed by future administrations or Congress.
+Added: The implementation, alteration,
+Added: or invalidation of tariffs and other trade measures could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, including
+Added: by increasing the cost of imported goods and components, disrupting supply chains, altering competitive conditions in domestic and international
+Added: markets, triggering retaliatory measures by trading partners, and increasing volatility in foreign currency and commodity markets.
+Added: developments could materially impact revenues, operating costs, margins, and overall financial performance.
+Added: Uncertainty in U.S.–China
+Added: Trade Policy and Tariff Authority Could Disrupt Our Supply Chain and Increase Our Costs.
+Added: Our manufacturing operations
+Added: depend on the timely procurement of raw materials, subcomponents, and finished parts, some of which are sourced from suppliers located
+Added: Recent developments in U.S.
+Added: trade policy have introduced significant legal and regulatory uncertainty.
+Added: On February 20, 2026,
+Added: the Supreme Court of the United States held that the IEEPA does not authorize the imposition of broad-based tariffs.
+Added: Following that decision,
+Added: the President issued an executive order on February 24, 2026 imposing a 10% tariff on all countries for certain imported goods based on
+Added: an alternative statutory authority and indicated a potential future increase to 15%.
+Added: Although the recent ruling
+Added: addressed tariffs imposed under IEEPA, the Administration may seek to impose tariffs under other trade statutes, including Section 301
+Added: of the Trade Act of 1974 or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, each of which carries distinct procedural requirements and
+Added: legal standards.
+Added: Any such tariffs may be subject to additional legal challenges, modifications, delays, or reversal by courts, Congress,
+Added: or future administrations.
+Added: The imposition, expansion,
+Added: modification, or invalidation of tariffs on imports from China, or retaliatory measures by China or other trading partners, could materially
+Added: and adversely affect our business in several ways:
+Added: · Increased input costs.
+Added: Tariffs could increase the cost of imported components and raw materials,
+Added: which may compress margins if we are unable to pass increased costs through to customers in a timely manner, or at all.
+Added: · Supply shortages and delays.
+Added: Trade restrictions, customs enforcement actions, port congestion,
+Added: export controls, or supplier disruptions in China could delay shipments or reduce available supply, potentially interrupting our production
+Added: · Supplier concentration risk.
+Added: Certain specialized components may be available from a limited
+Added: number of qualified suppliers, some of which are located in China.
+Added: Rapid transition to alternative suppliers may not be feasible due to
+Added: tooling, qualification, regulatory, contractual, capacity, or cost constraints.
+Added: · Operational disruption.
+Added: Uncertainty regarding tariff rates and enforcement may complicate
+Added: procurement planning, inventory management, pricing decisions, and long-term supply agreements.
+Added: · Retaliatory actions and geopolitical risk.
+Added: Escalation of trade tensions between the United
+Added: States and China could result in additional duties, export restrictions, licensing requirements, sanctions, or other governmental measures
+Added: that disrupt cross-border supply chains.
+Added: Given the evolving nature of U.S.–China
+Added: trade policy and ongoing legal and political developments, we cannot predict the scope, timing, or duration of future trade measures.
+Added: Any of the foregoing developments could materially disrupt our supply chain, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products,
+Added: and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: If the United States experiences significant inflation, it could
+Added: adversely affect our business and financial results.
+Added: Following the end of the COVID 19 pandemic, the
+Added: United States experienced significant inflationary pressures.
+Added: Though the current rate of inflation in the United States is much lower,
+Added: if inflationary pressures occur again, including as a result of future United States interest rate declines, such inflation can adversely
+Added: affect us in a variety of ways.
+Added: A rise in inflation can adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs, including by increasing
+Added: the costs of materials, freight and labor.
+Added: The Company has not identified, planned or taken any actions to mitigate inflationary pressures.
+Added: Further, in the United States, the Federal Reserve has historically responded by increasing interest rates to combat inflation.
+Added: such increases may result in a reduced demand for our products and/or an economic downturn.
+Added: In a highly inflationary environment, or any
+Added: recession or economic downturn that may result, we may be unable to adjust our business is a manner that adequately addresses these challenges,
+Added: and these developments could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
+Added: Risks Related to Government Regulation of
+Added: Our Operations and Industry
+Added: If we fail to have other drone products approved
+Added: for the Department of War’s Blue UAS Cleared List which we refer to as the “Blue List”, our future results of operations
+Added: may be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: We have had multiple United States made drone
+Added: products that have been approved and added to the Department of War’s Blue List.
+Added: By virtue of being on the Blue List, it enables
+Added: us to receive orders from agencies of the United States federal government.
+Added: It also provides credibility to potential enterprise customers
+Added: who might be interested in purchasing drone components from us.
+Added: We are seeking to add additional products to the Blue List.
+Added: If these additional
+Added: products are not added to the Blue List, our future results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: If we fail to obtain necessary regulatory approvals
+Added: from the FAA or other governmental agencies or limitations are put on the use of drones in response to public privacy or safety concerns,
+Added: it may prevent us from expanding the sales of our drone components in the United States.
+Added: The regulation of drones and drones component
+Added: parts such as those we offer is subject to substantial change, with regulators including potential alterations, enhancements and additions
+Added: to existing laws and regulations, and the ultimate treatment is uncertain.
+Added: A substantial majority of our products are subject to drone-related
+Added: regulations enforced by the FAA, either directly or due to their inclusion in drones offered by third parties.
+Added: Further, adverse regulatory
+Added: actions such as enforcement proceedings affecting customers and other third parties with which we do business can also adversely affect
+Added: us, even if the violation or harm alleged did not arise from our conduct or products.
+Added: Generally, under current FAA regulations the failure
+Added: to register a drone, including model aircraft, in accordance with these rules may result in regulatory and criminal sanctions.
+Added: may assess civil penalties up to $33,333.
+Added: Criminal penalties include fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three years.
+Added: However, the FAA and other government bodies and agencies are considering changes to address the drone industry, which is relatively new
+Added: and rapidly evolving.
+Added: In addition, there exists public concern regarding the privacy and safety implications of the use of drones.
+Added: concern has included calls to develop explicit written policies and procedures establishing usage limitations.
+Added: There is no assurance that
+Added: the response from regulatory agencies, customers and privacy advocates to these concerns will not delay or restrict the adoption of drones
+Added: and related products and technologies in certain markets.
+Added: These developments, and any additional regulatory or other burdens imposed on
+Added: our business and industry due to public health and safety or other concerns presently faced by the drone industry, could harm us and our
+Added: customers and suppliers by increasing compliance costs and restricting our operations and product offerings and uses, which could materially
adversely affect us.
−Removed: In addition, particularly with respect to Rotor
−Removed: Riot, we are highly dependent on online social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to advertise our products, market
−Removed: our brand and develop and maintain customer loyalty.
−Removed: Each of these platforms requires that users adhere to strict terms and conditions
−Removed: governing content, communications and other activities on their platform, which are generally heightened for commercial uses such as ours.
−Removed: If we or third parties such as drone pilots who Rotor Riot uses to market our products online fail to adhere to these requirements, we
−Removed: could be limited, restricted or banned from some or all uses, which would materially adversely affect our business.
−Removed: Future growth and ability to generate and grow
−Removed: revenue and achieve or maintain profitability may be adversely affected if our marketing initiatives are not effective in generating sufficient
−Removed: levels of brand awareness.
−Removed: Our future growth and profitability will depend
−Removed: in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing efforts, including our ability to:
−Removed: create awareness of brands and products;
−Removed: convert awareness into actual product purchases;
−Removed: effectively manage marketing costs (including creative and media) in order to maintain acceptable operating margins and return on marketing investment;
−Removed: successfully offer to sell products or license technology to third-party companies for sale.
−Removed: Planned marketing expenditures are unknown and
−Removed: may not result in increased total sales or generate sufficient levels of product and brand name awareness.
−Removed: We may not be able to manage
−Removed: marketing expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
−Removed: Product quality issues and a higher-than-expected
−Removed: number of warranty claims or returns could harm our business and operating results.
−Removed: The products that we sell could contain defects
−Removed: in design or manufacture.
−Removed: There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and remedy all defects in the hardware we sell, which could
−Removed: result in product recalls, product redesign efforts, loss of revenue, reputational damage and significant warranty and other remediation
−Removed: Similar to other mobile and consumer electronics, our products have a risk of overheating in the course of usage or upon malfunction.
−Removed: Any such defect could result in harm to property or in personal injury.
−Removed: If we determine that a product does not meet product quality standards
−Removed: or may contain a defect, the launch of such product could be delayed until we remedy the quality issue or defect.
−Removed: The costs associated
−Removed: with any protracted delay necessary to remedy a quality issue or defect in a new product could be substantial.
−Removed: We generally provide a one-year warranty on all
−Removed: of our Fat Shark products, except in certain European countries where it can be two years for some consumer-focused products.
−Removed: The occurrence
−Removed: of any material defects in our products could expose us to liability for damages and warranty claims in excess of our current reserves,
−Removed: and we could incur significant costs to correct any defects, warranty claims or other problems.
−Removed: In addition, if any of our product designs
−Removed: are defective or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall campaign.
−Removed: In part due to the terms of our
−Removed: warranty policy, any failure rate of our products that exceeds our expectations may result in unanticipated losses.
−Removed: Any negative publicity
−Removed: related to the perceived quality of our products could affect our brand image and decrease retailer, distributor and consumer confidence
−Removed: and demand, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
−Removed: Further, accidental damage coverage and extended
−Removed: warranties are regulated in the United States at the state level and are treated differently within each state.
−Removed: Additionally, outside
−Removed: of the United States, regulations for extended warranties and accidental damage vary from country-to-country.
−Removed: Changes in interpretation
−Removed: of the regulations concerning extended warranties and accidental damage coverage on a federal, state, local or international level may
−Removed: cause us to incur costs or have additional regulatory requirements to meet in the future in order to continue to offer our support services.
−Removed: Our failure to comply with past, present and future similar laws could result in reduced sales of our products, reputational damage, penalties
−Removed: and other sanctions, which could harm our business and financial condition.
−Removed: Estimated future product
−Removed: warranty claims may be based on a variety of factors including the expected number of field failures over the warranty commitment period,
−Removed: the term of the product warranty period, and the costs for repair, replacement and other associated costs.
−Removed: Because of the foregoing or
−Removed: other contingencies, these estimates could prove to be incorrect, such that our warranty obligations are higher than anticipated.
−Removed: warranty obligations may be affected by product failure rates, claims levels, material usage and product re-integration and handling costs.
−Removed: Should actual product failure rates, claims levels, material usage, product re-integration and handling costs, defects, errors, bugs or
−Removed: other issues differ from original estimates, we could end up incurring materially higher warranty or recall expenses than we anticipate,
−Removed: which would materially adversely affect our business.
−Removed: Risks Related to Acquisitions
−Removed: Because Aloft may not meet closing conditions we may not be successful
−Removed: in consummating the Merger
−Removed: On February 1, 2025, the Company entered into
−Removed: a Merger Agreement to acquire Aloft.
−Removed: The merger is for $14.5 million payable, almost entirely in the Company’s Common Stock with
−Removed: the issuance of approximately 1,204,319 shares of Common Stock and approximately $100,000 in cash.
−Removed: Customary closing conditions by the
−Removed: parties must be completed before closing the merger which include Aloft obtaining stockholder approval, the delivery by Aloft of its audited
−Removed: financial statements acceptable to the Company, and the receipt of certain third-party consents.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that the Aloft
−Removed: merger will close.
−Removed: If we are successful in consummating the Merger,
−Removed: the integration of our business and the Aloft business may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.
−Removed: Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Merger
−Removed: will depend in significant part upon whether we are able to integrate our combined business in an efficient and effective manner.
−Removed: actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized.
−Removed: The companies may not be able to accomplish the integration process smoothly, successfully or on a timely basis.
−Removed: The necessity of coordinating
−Removed: geographically separated organizations, managements, systems of controls, and facilities and addressing possible differences in business
−Removed: backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies may increase the difficulties of integration.
−Removed: We and Aloft operate numerous
−Removed: systems and controls, including those involving management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, billing, employee benefits,
−Removed: payroll and regulatory compliance.
−Removed: The integration of operations following the Merger and future acquisitions will continue to require
−Removed: the dedication of significant management and external resources, which may distract management’s attention from the day-to-day business
−Removed: of the Company and be costly.
−Removed: Employee uncertainty and lack of focus during the integration process may also disrupt our business.
−Removed: inability of management to successfully and timely integrate the operations of the two companies could have a material adverse effect
−Removed: on our business and results of operations.
−Removed: In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2024, Aloft had a net loss of $841,112 and net
−Removed: cash used in operating activities was negative $419,591.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Merger could have a negative impact on our cash flow.
−Removed: Future acquisitions could disrupt our business
−Removed: and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
−Removed: We may make acquisitions that could be material
−Removed: to our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
−Removed: Our ability as an organization to successfully acquire and integrate
−Removed: technologies or businesses is unproven.
−Removed: Acquisitions involve many risks, including the following:
−Removed: an acquisition may negatively affect our operating results, financial condition or cash flows because it may require us to incur charges or assume substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences or unfavorable accounting treatment, may expose us to claims and disputes by third parties, including intellectual property claims and disputes, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset additional costs and expenses related to the acquisition;
−Removed: We may incur substantial costs and deploy a significant amount of time and other resources towards a prospective transaction that does not close, either of which could materially harm our financial condition;
−Removed: we may encounter difficulties or unforeseen expenditures in integrating the business, technologies, products, contracts, personnel or operations of any company that we acquire, particularly if key personnel of the acquired company decide not to work for us;
−Removed: an acquisition may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses and distract our management;
−Removed: an acquisition may result in a delay or reduction of customer purchases for both us and the company we acquired due to customer uncertainty about continuity and effectiveness of service from either company;
−Removed: we may encounter difficulties in, or may be unable to, successfully sell any acquired products;
−Removed: an acquisition may involve the entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no prior experience or where competitors have stronger market positions;
−Removed: the potential strain on our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures;
−Removed: potential known and unknown liabilities associated with an acquired company, including due to a non-disclosure or failure to identify such liabilities during the due diligence process prior to closing an acquisition;
−Removed: if we incur debt to fund such acquisitions, such debt may subject us to material restrictions on our ability to conduct our business as well as financial maintenance covenants;
−Removed: the risk of impairment charges related to potential write-downs of acquired assets or goodwill in future acquisitions;
−Removed: to the extent that we issue a significant amount of equity or convertible debt securities in connection with future acquisitions, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease;
−Removed: managing the varying intellectual property protection strategies and other activities of an acquired company.
−Removed: We may not succeed in addressing these or other
−Removed: risks or any other problems encountered in connection with the integration of any acquired business.
−Removed: The inability to successfully integrate
−Removed: the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of any acquired business, or any significant delay in achieving integration,
−Removed: could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
+Added: We are or may become subject to governmental
+Added: export and import controls, economic sanctions and other laws and regulations that could subject us to liability and impair our ability
+Added: to compete in international markets.
+Added: During 2024, we commenced sales of our Blue UAS
+Added: products including to a European customer as part of a larger order.
+Added: The United States and various foreign governments have imposed controls,
+Added: export license requirements and restrictions on the import or export of some technologies.
+Added: Our products are subject to United States export
+Added: controls, including the Commerce Department’s Export Administration Regulations and various economic and trade sanctions regulations
+Added: established by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, and exports of our products must be made in compliance
+Added: with these laws.
+Added: Furthermore, United States export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision of products and services
+Added: to countries, governments, and persons targeted by United States sanctions.
+Added: Even though we take precautions to prevent our products from
+Added: being provided to targets of United States sanctions, our products, including our firmware updates, could be provided to those targets
+Added: or provided by our customers despite such precautions.
+Added: Further, the manufacture and sale of our products
+Added: in certain states and countries may subject us to environmental and other regulations.
+Added: For example, many of our products rely on electricity

−Removed: We are subject to a number of risks including:
−Removed: We do not have a supply agreement requiring the manufacturer to produce a specified volume per year;
−Removed: The manufacturer expects to deliver product quantities to us over a pre-determined period which increases the likelihood we may be unable to meet a large order from one or more customers;
−Removed: Beyond the initial purchase orders, we have no assurances on future pricing which means future costs could adversely affect our marketing and future gross margins;
−Removed: Because we have no non-compete from the manufacturer,
−Removed: it could manufacture the same products for our competitors;
−Removed: We have no representations from the manufacturer on its intellectual property ownership of our products;
−Removed: Because we are not the manufacturer, we are subject to a number of risks including timely deliveries and quality control.

−Removed: Furthermore, United States export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision
−Removed: of products and services to countries, governments, and persons targeted by United States sanctions.
−Removed: Even though we take precautions to
−Removed: prevent our products from being provided to targets of United Staets sanctions, our products, including our firmware updates, could be
−Removed: provided to those targets or provided by our customers despite such precautions.
−Removed: Further, the manufacture and sale of our products
−Removed: in certain states and countries may subject us to environmental and other regulations.
−Removed: For example, many of our products rely on electricity
−Removed: generated by lithium-ion batteries, which implicate a variety of environmental and other regulations designed to control the production,
−Removed: use, and transportation of hazardous materials such as lithium and other components and minerals deployed in these batteries.
−Removed: the global focus on climate change, including greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, has resulted in legislative and regulatory

−Removed: We, either directly or through our customers,

−Removed: and data security.
−Removed: This includes the European Union’s (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (the “EU GDPR”)
−Removed: and the United Kingdom’s General Data Protection Regulations (the “UK GDPR”) as a result of our sales in the EU.
−Removed: laws and regulations are continuously evolving and developing.
−Removed: The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable
−Removed: to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly with respect to foreign laws.
−Removed: The application of these laws and regulations
−Removed: can arise from our e-commerce platform, social media activities, drone technology and applications, relationships with third parties and
−Removed: their operations, or from other activities we undertake now or that we may undertake in the future.
−Removed: Data privacy and protection regulations
−Removed: are frequently broad in terms of scope of the information protected, activities affected, and geographic reach.
−Removed: In particular, there are numerous United States
−Removed: federal, state, and local laws and regulations and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and the collection, sharing, use, processing,
−Removed: disclosure, and protection of personal data.
−Removed: Such laws and regulations often vary in scope, may be subject to differing interpretations,
−Removed: and may be inconsistent among different jurisdictions.
−Removed: For example, the GDPR includes operational requirements for companies that receive
−Removed: or process personal data of residents of the EU that are broader and more stringent than those previously in place in the EU and in most
−Removed: other jurisdictions around the world.
−Removed: The GDPR includes significant penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to €20 million
−Removed: or 4% of total worldwide revenue.
−Removed: Additionally, in June 2018, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”).
−Removed: In November 2020, the CCPA was amended by Proposition 24, the California Consumer Privacy Act, which extends the CCPA.
−Removed: The CCPA requires
−Removed: covered companies to provide California consumers with new disclosures and will expand the rights afforded consumers regarding their data.
−Removed: Fines for noncompliance may be up to $7,500 per violation.
−Removed: The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the GDPR, CCPA,
−Removed: and similar laws may limit the use and adoption of our products and services and/or require us to incur substantial compliance costs,
−Removed: which could have an adverse impact on our business.
−Removed: Since the CCPA was enacted,
−Removed: the United States currently has at least 20 states – California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
−Removed: Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia, that have comprehensive
−Removed: data privacy laws in place, or enacted comprehensive data privacy laws set to soon take effect.
−Removed: An additional seven states have enacted
−Removed: narrower privacy laws – Florida, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.
−Removed: During the 2024 legislative
−Removed: cycle, at least six states have introduced comprehensive privacy bills that address a range of issues, including protecting biometric
−Removed: identifiers and health data, or governing the activities of specific entities.
−Removed: However, this patchwork approach to privacy legislation
−Removed: could pose compliance and liability risks for companies that have multistate operations.
−Removed: Proposed and enacted bills in various states
−Removed: have similar rights in preexisting privacy legislation but differ in implementation and enforcement.
−Removed: In June 2024, the American Privacy
−Removed: Rights Act of 2024 was introduced in the United States House of Representatives and was subsequently referred to the House Committee on
−Removed: Energy and Commerce has and is not yet adopted.
−Removed: As introduced, this proposed legislation would establish requirements for how companies
−Removed: handle personal data by, among other things, limiting the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data, prohibiting companies
−Removed: from transferring individuals’ personal data without their affirmative express consent, establishing a right to access, correct,
−Removed: and delete personal data, requiring companies to provide individuals with a means to “opt out” of the transfer of non-sensitive
−Removed: covered data and the right to opt out of the user of their personal information for targeted advertising, requiring companies to implement
−Removed: security practices aimed at protecting personal data, and imposing enforcement actions and the possibility of civil proceedings for violations.
−Removed: Proposed federal legislation, will likely continue to be debated and, at some point, may be enacted in some form.
−Removed: We intend to strive to comply with all applicable
−Removed: laws, policies, legal obligations, and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy, data security, and data protection.
−Removed: resources may adversely affect our compliance effort.
−Removed: Given that the scope, interpretation, and application of these laws and regulations
−Removed: are often uncertain and may be in conflict across jurisdictions, it is possible that these obligations may be interpreted and applied
−Removed: in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices.
−Removed: Any failure or perceived
−Removed: failure by us, customers, or third-party vendors or end-users involved with our products to comply with our privacy or security policies
−Removed: or privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personal data,
−Removed: may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, or negative publicity, and could have an adverse effect on our operating results
−Removed: and financial condition.
−Removed: Governments are continuing to focus on privacy
−Removed: and data security, and it is possible that new privacy or data security laws will be passed or existing laws will be amended in a way
−Removed: that is material to our business.
−Removed: Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, or industry practices regarding the personal
−Removed: data of our employees, agents or customers could require us to modify our practices and may limit our ability to expand or sustain our
−Removed: salesforce or bring our products to market.
−Removed: Changes to applicable laws and regulations in this area could subject us to additional regulation
−Removed: and oversight, any of which could significantly increase our operating costs and materially affect our operating results and financial
