REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
The Board of Directors and the Stockholders of
Twin
Vee Powercats Co. and Subsidiaries
Fort
Pierce, Florida
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Twin Vee Powercats Co. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended,
and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
GRASSI & CO., CPAs, P.C .
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

TWIN VEE POWERCATS CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024 and 2023
1. Organization and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Organization
Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee” or
the “Company”) was incorporated as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc., in the state of Florida, on December 1, 2009. On April 7, 2021,
the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion to register and incorporate in the state of Delaware and changed the company name to Twin
Vee PowerCats Co. The Certificate of Incorporation for Twin Vee PowerCats Co. was also filed on April 7, 2021.
On September 1, 2021, the Company formed Fix My Boat,
Inc., (“Fix My Boat”), a wholly owned subsidiary. Fix My Boat will utilize a franchise model for marine mechanics across the
country. Fix My Boat has been inactive for the majority of 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2024. On July 23, 2024, Fix My Boat,
Inc. was merged into Twin Vee PowerCats Co.
On April 20, 2023, the Company formed AquaSport
Co., a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Florida in connection with the Company’s plan to lease the assets of former AQUASPORT™
boat brand and manufacturing facility in White Bluff, Tennessee. On July 30, 2024, AquaSport Co. was merged into Twin Vee PowerCats Co.
Forza X1, Inc. was initially incorporated as Electra
Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, and subsequently changed the name to Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1” or “Forza”)
on October 29, 2021. Prior to Forza’s incorporation on October 15, 2021, the electric
boat business was operated as the Company’s Electra Power Sports™ Division. Following the Company’s initial public offering
that closed on July 23, 2021 (the “IPO”), it determined in October 2021 that for several reasons, it would market the Company’s
new independent line of electric boats under a new brand name (and new subsidiary) . Forza’s completed the initial public
offering of its common stock on August 16, 2022 and a follow-on public offering on June 14, 2023, which together resulted in Forza
becoming a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures
and as a result of market conditions, on July 11, 2024, Forza’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the business
related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. Forza explored strategic alternatives,
including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co.
On November 11, 2024, the Company held its 2024 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance
of shares of the Company’s common stock to Forza stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of August 12, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Forza, the Company and Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a
reverse stock split at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20.
On November 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”),
pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Forza (the “Merger”), with Forza surviving
the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Twin Vee.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”), (a) each outstanding share of common stock of Forza , par value $ 0.001 per share of Forza (the “Forza Common Stock”)
(other than any shares held by Twin Vee) was converted into the right to receive 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee common stock, par value
$ 0.001 per share (the “Twin Vee Common Stock”), (b) each outstanding Forza stock option, whether vested or unvested, that
had not previously been exercised prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee
Common Stock for each share of Forza Common Stock covered by such option, (c) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Forza Common
Stock was assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee Common Stock for each share of Forza
Common Stock for which such warrant was exercisable for prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the 7,000,000 shares of Forza Common Stock
held by Twin Vee were cancelled.
F- 7
The issuance of shares of Twin Vee Common Stock to
the former shareholders of Forza was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-4 (File No. 333-281788), as amended, filed by Twin Vee with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and
declared effective on October 10, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).
At the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms
of the Merger Agreement, the size of Twin Vee’s board of directors (the “Board”) was set at five, Joseph Visconti, Preston
Yarborough, Neil Ross and Kevin Schuyler remained as directors of Twin Vee and Marcia Kull was appointed as a director of Twin Vee.
Upon her appointment, Ms. Kull was appointed to serve
on the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Kull will participate
in the non-employee director compensation arrangements described under the heading “Twin Vee Director Compensation” contained
in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and incorporated by reference herein.
Following the Merger, the composition of each class
of the board is as follows: The Class I directors are Neil Ross and Marcia Kull, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in 2025. The Class II director is Preston Yarborough, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held
in 2026. The Class III directors are Kevin Schuyler and Joseph Visconti, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in 2027.
In connection with the Merger and effective as of
the Effective Time, Bard Rockenbach and James Melvin resigned as directors of Twin Vee and any committees thereof. The decision to resign
by each of Messrs. Rockenbach and Melvin was not the result, in whole or in part, of any disagreement with Twin Vee, its management team,
or the board of directors of Twin Vee, on any matter relating to Twin Vee operations, policies or practices.
On May 10, 2024, Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (the “Company”)
received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the
Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 28, 2024 through May 9, 2024), the Company’s common stock did
not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2024, to regain compliance.
On November 7, 2024, the Company received written
notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved automatically and without further action if the closing bid
price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to May
5, 2025, Nasdaq will notify the Company when it determines that the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement
and the matter will be closed.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Twin Vee and its wholly owned subsidiary, Forza X1, collectively referred to as the “Company”.
The Company’s net loss
excludes losses attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company reports noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities as a component
of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
and the related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
F- 8
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed the classification
of production labor and related benefit costs to be included as a component of cost of sales rather than operating expenses. The Company
has adjusted the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 to be consistent with the accounting treatment in 2024.
This resulted in an increase in cost of products sold of $ 6,456,139 and a corresponding decrease in operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from
the sale of boats, motors and trailers to its independent dealers. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of
a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. For the majority of sales, this occurs when the
product is released to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer. The Company typically receives payment within five business
days of shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product. The Company offers
dealer incentives that include wholesale rebates, retail rebates and promotions, floor plan reimbursement or cash discounts, and other
allowances that are recorded as reductions of revenues in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The consideration recognized
represents the amount specified in a contract with a customer, net of estimated incentives the Company reasonably expects to pay. The
estimated liability and reduction in revenue for dealer incentives is recorded at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments to incentive
estimates are possible because actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales
promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Accrued dealer incentives are included
in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

—
Payment received for the future sale of a boat to
a customer is recognized as a customer deposit. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred
to the customer. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had customer deposits of $ 80,000 and $ 44,195 , respectively, which is
recorded as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. These deposits are refundable and are recognized as revenue when
the related boat is delivered, generally within 90 days.
Rebates and Discounts
Dealers earn wholesale rebates based on purchase volume
commitments and achievement of certain performance metrics. The Company estimates the amount of wholesale rebates based on historical
achievement, forecasted volume, and assumptions regarding dealer behavior. Rebates that apply to boats already in dealer inventory are
referred to as retail rebates. The Company estimates the amount of retail rebates based on historical data for specific boat models adjusted
for forecasted sales volume, product mix, dealer and consumer behavior, and assumptions concerning market conditions. The Company also
utilizes various programs whereby it offers cash discounts or agrees to reimburse its dealers for certain floor plan interest costs incurred
by dealers for limited periods of time, generally ranging up to six months.
Other Revenue Recognition Matters
Dealers generally have no right to return unsold boats.
Occasionally, the Company may accept returns in limited circumstances and at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy.
The Company may be obligated, in the event of default by a dealer, to accept returns of unsold boats under its repurchase commitment to
floor financing providers, who are able to obtain such boats through foreclosure. The repurchase commitment is on an individual unit basis
with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through the payment date by the dealer, generally not exceeding 30
months.
F- 9
The Company has excluded sales and other taxes assessed
by a governmental authority in connection with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts.
The Company has not adjusted net sales for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between the transfer of
the promised goods and the customer’s payment is expected to be one year or less.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. Credit risk on trade receivables is mitigated as a result
of the Company’s use of trade letters of credit, dealer floor plan financing arrangements, and the geographically diversified nature
of the Company’s customer base. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its
cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) insured limit of $ 250,000 are at risk. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $ 6,740,623 and
$ 15,868,574 , respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $ 7,706,240 and $ 16,755,233 , respectively.
Restricted cash includes amounts that are collected
and are held in connection with assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash is restricted for
payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings. On December 31,2024 and 2023, included within restricted cash
on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is an irrevocable letter of credit for $ 215,117 and $ 257,530 , respectively.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s investments in debt securities
are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified
as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and
losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in other income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair
value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially
recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as the measurement date. The Company uses
the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value
its financial instruments:
F- 10
●
Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
●
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
●
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.
Financial instruments measured as fair value are classified
in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires it to make judgments and consider factors
specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated
fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the
Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate
their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts receivable and payable, and other financial instruments in
current assets or current liabilities.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivables net of an allowance for credit
losses. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit
losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers
(including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, and
customer creditworthiness. Management evaluates its experience with historical losses and then applies this historical loss ratio to financial
assets with similar characteristics. The Company’s historical loss ratio or its determination of risk pools may be adjusted for
changes in customer, economy, market or other circumstances. The Company may also establish an allowance for credit losses for specific
receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts are written
off against the allowance when they are considered to be uncollectible, and reversals of previously reserved amounts are recognized if
a specifically reserved item is settled for an amount exceeding the previous estimate.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method on a first-in first-out basis. Net realizable value is defined
as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor
and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs
are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the provision for excess or obsolete inventories
is $134,032 and $419,616, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization, using the straight-line method over the assets’ useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of the assets’ useful life or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from three
to five years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from their respective accounts, and
the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives
of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
F- 11
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived
assets when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing
the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts.
If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value,
based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.
Product Warranty Costs
The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the
expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty
cost is based upon historical information and experience. The Company’s warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied
by the historical warranty expense return rate. The company’s warranty liability is included in the accrued liabilities line item
of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The following table shows the changes in the aggregate
product warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled $ 206,333 and $ 444,231 , respectively,
and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs
relating to new product development as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs amounted
to $ 586,378 and $ 1,443,569 , respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs includes those costs incurred
to transport product to customers and internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment. The Company has
elected to account for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a
customer as a fulfillment cost. The Company includes shipping and handling costs, including cost billed to customers, in cost of products
sold in the consolidated statements of operations. All manufactured boats are free on board (FOB), from the Fort Pierce manufacturing
plant. Dealers are required to either pick up the boats themselves or contract with a transporter. For the years ended December 31, 2024,
and 2023, shipping and handling costs amounted to $ 281,915 and $ 718,635 , respectively.
F- 12
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease
at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based
on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding ROU asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based
on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease
payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease
when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expenses for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Supplier Concentrations
The Company is dependent on the ability of its suppliers
to provide products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing terms. The loss of certain principal suppliers or a significant reduction
in product availability from principal suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Business risk insurance is in place
to mitigate the business risk associated with sole suppliers for sudden disruptions such as those caused by natural disasters.
The Company is dependent on third-party equipment
manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for certain parts and materials utilized in the manufacturing process. During the year ended
December 31, 2024, the Company purchased all engines (Mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha) and certain composite materials for its boats under
supplier agreements with five vendors. Total purchases from these vendors were $ 5,324,494 . During the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company purchased all engines from three vendors (Mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha) for its boats under supplier agreements. Total purchases
from these vendors were $ 9,252,915 .
Employee Retention Credit
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including
an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty
and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC.
Accounting Standards Codification 105, “Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles,” describes the decision-making framework when no guidance exists in US GAAP for a particular transaction.
Specifically, ASC 105-10-05-2 instructs companies to look for guidance for a similar transaction within US GAAP and apply that guidance
by analogy. As such, forms of government assistance, such as the ERC, provided to business entities would not be within the scope of ASC
958, but it may be applied by analogy under ASC 105-10-05-2. We accounted for the Employee Retention Credit as a government grant in accordance
with Accounting Standards Update 2013-06, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958) (“ASU 2013-06”) by analogy under ASC 105-10-05-2.
Under this standard, government grants are recognized when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
the Company received $ 0 and $ 1,267,055 , from the Employee Retention Credit (ERC).
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs
for its restricted stock and restricted stock units, measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over
the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period for the fair
value of awards that vest.
F- 13
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recover or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is entirely dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction and various states.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to
Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements,
primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosures of significant expenses that
are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported segment measure of segment profit or loss.
The update also required disclosure regarding the chief operating decision maker and expands interim segment disclosure requirements.
The adoption did not impact how the Company identifies its one reportable segment.
Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income
Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expense (“ASU 2027-03”), effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2027. The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information
about certain costs and expenses and a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately
disaggregated quantitatively. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its future
disclosures.
2. Marketable Securities
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no marketable
securities. The Company’s investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt
securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity.
Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading
or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale
debt securities are included in net income.

6. Leases
Operating right of use (“ROU”) assets
and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value
of lease payments not yet paid. Operating right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and is based upon the
operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment
of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates incremental secured borrowing
rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases.
The Company’s office lease contains rent escalations
over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for this office lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally,
tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the Company’s right-of-use asset related
to the lease. These are amortized through the right-of-use asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.
The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities,
and the land which are located at 3101 S US-1, Fort Pierce, Florida (the “Property”) from Visconti Holdings, LLC. Visconti
Holdings, LLC is a single member LLC that holds the ownership of the property, and its sole member is Joseph C. Visconti, the CEO of the
Company and the CEO and majority shareholder of the Company’s parent company. The Company entered into the lease on January 1, 2020,
and as amended January 1, 2021, the lease has a term of five years. The current base rent payment is $ 36,465 per month including

expense which is included in salaries and wages on the accompanying condensed statement of operations.
Forza’s 2022 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) - Forza has issued stock options. A stock option grant gives the holder the right, but
not the obligation to purchase a certain number of shares at a predetermined price for a specific period of time. Forza typically issues
options that vest pro rata on a monthly basis over various periods. Under the terms of the Plan, the contractual life of the option grants
may not exceed ten years.
14. Customer and Supplier Concentration
Significant dealers and suppliers are those that account
for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues and purchases.
During the year
ended December 31, 2024, three individual customers had sales of over 10 % of our total sales and represented 40 % of total sales.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, one individual dealer had sales of over

F- 24
The Company is dependent on third-party equipment
manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for certain parts and materials utilized in the manufacturing process. During the year ended
December 31, 2024, the Company purchased a substantial portion of engines and other materials from five vendors. Total purchases from
these vendors were $ 5,324,494 . During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company purchased all engines from three vendors for its boats
under supplier agreements. Total purchases from these vendors were $ 9,252,915 . The Company believes
there are other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.
15. Income Tax
Due to operating losses and the recognition of valuation
allowances, the Company has no provision for current and deferred federal or state income taxes in 2024. In 2021, the Company reversed
valuation allowances against previously reserved deferred tax assets, accordingly, there was no provision for current and deferred federal
or state income taxes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects
of temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are
as follows as of:

The Company has established a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. During the years ended December 31,
2024 and 2023, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $ 8,100,000 and $ 3,092,000 , respectively. The Company has net operating
and economic loss carry-forwards of approximately $ 8.6 million available to offset future federal and state taxable income.
A reconciliation between expected income taxes, computed
at the federal income tax rate of 21% applied to the pretax accounting loss, and our blended state income tax rate of 2%, and the income
tax net expense included in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

16. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share has been computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per share of common stock has been computed
on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus equivalent shares of common stock assuming exercise of stock options.
Potential shares of common stock that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from
the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock.
Basic and diluted loss per common share have been
computed based on the following as of years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023:

PowerCats Co. and Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), related to Forza’s merger with us seeking an
unspecified award of damages, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiffs’ Complaint asserts claims (1) against
Defendants for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as controlling shareholders of Forza, (2) against Messrs. Visconti, Schuyler,
and Ross for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as directors of Forza, and (3) against Mr. Visconti for breach of fiduciary
duty in his capacity as an officer of Forza. Defendants intend to vigorously defending against the claims. At this time, the Company is
