Red Cat Holdings ("Red Cat" or the "Company") was originally incorporated in February 1984. Since April 2016, the Company's primary business has been to provide products, services and solutions to the drone industry which it presently does through its four wholly owned subsidiaries. Teal Drones is a leader in commercial and government Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology. Fat Shark Holdings is a provider of First Person View (FPV) video goggles. Rotor Riot sells FPV drones and equipment, primarily to the consumer marketplace. Skypersonic provides software and hardware solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS (global positioning systems) are not available, yet still record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away.

 

Corporate developments since January 1, 2020 include:

 

  A. Rotor Riot Acquisition

 

In January 2020, the Company consummated a Merger Agreement under which Rotor Riot Acquisition Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Rotor Riot, with Rotor Riot continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the Merger Agreement, each member of Rotor Riot received its pro rata portion of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock issued based on (A)(i) $3,700,000 minus (ii) $915,563 (which included certain debt and other obligations of Rotor Riot and its Chief Executive Officer that the Company agreed to assume (the "Assumed Obligations") divided by (B) the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the closing of the Merger. Based on a share issuance value of $2,784,437 and a VWAP of $1.25445, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,219,650 shares of common stock to the members of Rotor Riot.

 

Following the closing, the Company's management controlled the operating decisions of the combined company. Accordingly, we accounted for the transaction as an acquisition of Rotor Riot by the Company. Based on purchase price accounting, we recognized the assets and liabilities of Rotor Riot at fair value with the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. The table below reflects the acquisition date values of the purchase consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. The shares issued were valued at $1,820,114 (2,219,650 shares issued times $0.82 per share which equaled the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date that the merger agreement was consummated). A summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is as follows:

  

 8 

 

Shares issued  $1,820,114 
Promissory note issued   175,000 
Total Purchase Price  $1,995,114

Total fair value of net assets acquired   239,091 
Goodwill  $1,756,023 

 

The final purchase price allocation was determined by an independent valuation services firm. Customer Relationships with a value of $39,000 are being amortized over 7 years. The carrying value of Brand Name is not being amortized but will be reviewed quarterly and formally evaluated at the end of each fiscal year.

 

  B. Fat Shark Acquisition

 

In November 2020, the Company closed a share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") with the sole shareholder of Fat Shark Holdings ("Fat Shark"), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fat Shark and its subsidiaries. The transaction was valued at $8,354,076 based on (i) the issuance of 5,227,273 shares of common stock with a value of $6,351,076 on the date of closing (ii) a senior secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,753,000, and (iii) a cash payment of $250,000. The Share Purchase Agreement includes indemnification provisions, a two year non-compete agreement, and registration rights for the shares issued in the transaction. A summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is as follows:

 

Shares issued  $6,351,076 
Promissory note issued   1,753,000 
Cash   250,000 
Total Purchase Price  $8,354,076 

 

Assets acquired

Accounts payable and accrued expenses   279,393 
Customer deposits   25,194 
Total liabilities assumed   304,587 
Total fair value of net assets acquired   2,185,816 
Goodwill  $6,168,260

The final purchase price allocation was determined by an independent valuation services firm. Intangible assets included proprietary technology and non-compete agreement which are being amortized over 5 and 3 years, respectively. The carrying value of Brand Name is not being amortized but will be reviewed quarterly and formally evaluated at the end of each fiscal year.

 

  C. Skypersonic Acquisition

 

In February 2021, the Company entered into Share Purchase and Liquidity Event Agreements (the "Skypersonic Agreements") with the founder and majority shareholder of Skypersonic, Inc., ("Skypersonic") and the holders of common stock and equity based agreements representing 97.46% of Skypersonic (the "Sellers"), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Skypersonic for an aggregate of $3,000,000 in shares (the "Share Consideration") of the Company's common stock, based upon the VWAP of the Company's common stock at closing of the transaction (the "Skypersonic Transaction"). Prior to the closing, the Company provided $75,000 to fund operating costs of Skypersonic. This amount was capitalized as part of the purchase price. The transaction closed on May 7, 2021 and was paid through the issuance of 857,124 shares of common stock which had a fair market value of $3,291,356. Fifty (50%) percent of the Share Consideration (the "Escrow Shares") was deposited in an escrow account as security for indemnification obligations and any purchase price adjustments due to working capital deficiencies and any other claims or expenses. Under the Skypersonic Agreements, closing date working capital deficits in excess of $300,000 resulted in a reduction of the Share Consideration on a dollar of dollar basis. In October 2021, the Company and Skypersonic agreed to a reduction in the purchase price of $601,622 which resulted in the cancellation of 149,829 shares held in escrow. A revised summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is as follows: 

 

Shares issued  $2,716,013 
Cash   75,000 
Total Purchase Price  $2,791,013 

 

Assets acquired       
Cash   13,502 
Accounts receivable   51,083 
Other assets   12,950 
Inventory   50,556 
Total assets acquired   128,091 
Liabilities assumed     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   1,054,997 
Total liabilities assumed   1,054,997 
Total fair value of net assets acquired   (926,906)
Goodwill  $3,717,919 

 

The foregoing amounts reflect our current estimates of fair value as of the May 7, 2021 acquisition date. The Company has engaged an independent valuation services firm to complete a formal evaluation of the acquisition. The Company expects to recognize fair values associated with the customer relationships acquired, as well as the Skypersonic brand name. When the valuation project is completed, the Company may make adjustments to the opening balance sheet. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and intangible assets) requires significant judgment.

 

  D. Teal Drones Acquisition

 

On August 31, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Teal Drones Inc., (“Teal”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among, the Company Teal Acquisition I Corp., (“Acquisition”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Teal, (the “Merger Agreement” or “Merger”).

 

 10 

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Teal in exchange for $14,000,000 of our common stock (“Common Stock”) at the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of our Common Stock for the 20 trading days ended August 31, 2021 of $2.908 per share, reduced by the amount of Teal debt assumed consisting of approximately $1.67 million payable to DA4, and approximately $1,457,000 in working capital deficit, for a net closing date payment of $10,872,753. At closing, we issued 3,738,911 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) with a fair market value of $10,431,562. Fifteen (15%) of the Share Consideration (the “Escrow Shares”) was deposited in an escrow account for a period of eighteen (18) months as security for indemnification obligations, any purchase price adjustments due to working capital deficiencies and any other claims or expenses. In December 2021, the Company and Teal agreed to a reduction in the purchase price of $438,058 which resulted in the cancellation of 150,639 shares held in escrow. The fair market value of the cancelled shares was $420,283. The Stock Consideration may be increased if Teal attains certain revenue levels in the twenty four (24) month period following the closing.  The additional consideration begins at $4 million if sales total at least $18 million and ends at $16 million if sales total $36 million.

 

A revised summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is set forth below. 

 

Total Purchase Price - shares issued  $10,011,279 

 

Assets acquired       
Cash   11,364 
Accounts receivable   47,964 
Other current assets   15,085 
Other assets   48,595 
Inventory   1,253,755 
Total assets acquired   1,376,763 
Liabilities assumed     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   1,143,899 
Customer deposits   1,766,993 
Notes payable   2,749,091 
Total liabilities assumed   5,659,983 
Total fair value of net assets acquired   (4,283,220)
Goodwill  $14,294,499 

 

The foregoing amounts reflect our current estimates of fair value as of the August 31, 2021 acquisition date. The Company has engaged an independent valuation services firm to complete a formal evaluation of the acquisition. The Company expects to recognize fair values associated with the customer relationships acquired, as well as the Teal brand name but has not yet accumulated sufficient information to assign such values. When the valuation project is completed, the Company may make adjustments to the opening balance. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and intangible assets) requires significant judgment.

 

On August 31, 2021, Teal entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Decathlon Alpha IV, L.P. (“DA4”) (the “Loan Agreement”) in the amount of $1,670,294 (the “Loan”), representing the outstanding principal amount previously due and owing by Teal to DA4. Interest on the Loan accrues at a rate of ten (10%) percent per annum. Principal and interest under the term Loan is payable monthly in an amount equal to $49,275 until maturity on December 31, 2024. The Company assumed the Loan Agreement in connection with the acquisition.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

 

Principles of Consolidation - Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our operating subsidiaries, Teal Drones, Fat Sharking Holdings, Rotor Riot, and Skypersonic. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, and (iii) accounting for derivatives.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - At January 31, 2022, we had cash of $7,111,527 in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced any loss on these accounts and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Marketable Securities – Our marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Our investment manager can sell any of our investment holdings at any time, and therefore, we have classified our marketable securities as short term. Our available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported within investment income in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

We have elected to present accrued interest receivable separately from marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable was $393,543 as of January 31, 2022 and was included in other current assets. We did not write off any accrued interest receivable during the three months ended January 31, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable, net - Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a multitude of factors, including historical bad debt levels for its customer base, past experience with a specific customer, the economic environment, and other factors. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

 

Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.

  

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquisition over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The measurement periods for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes known, not to exceed 12 months. Adjustments in a purchase price allocation may require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which the adjustments are determined.

 

We perform an impairment test at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise. We have a single reporting unit, and consequently, evaluate goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of the Company as a whole. 

 

Leases - Effective August 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 titled “Leases” which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on a modified retrospective transition basis which means that it will not restate financial information for any periods prior to August 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability obligation of $796,976 and a right-of-use asset for the same amount.

 

 12 

 

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception.  Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term.  The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses an effective discount rate of 12% based on its recent debt financings. Operating lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments.  Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced by the amount of the expense. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease when they are reasonably certain to occur.

 

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities and Related Disclosures

 

The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

  

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

We disclose and recognize the fair value of our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

 

Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company's financial instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of its cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debt approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Convertible Securities and Derivatives

 

When the Company issues convertible debt or equity instruments that contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds from the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value but no lower than zero. Any excess amount is recognized as a derivative expense.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. 

 

 13 

 

In October 2020 and January 2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered regarding revenue recognition including (i) identifying the promised goods, (ii) evaluating performance obligations, (iii) measuring the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v) recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied.  The Company's revenue transactions include a single component, specifically, the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled. Most customers pay at the time they order and the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment. The timing of the shipment of orders can vary considerably depending upon whether an order is for an item normally maintained in inventory or an order that requires assembly or unique parts. Customer deposits totaled $336,621 and $46,096 at January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Research and Development - Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, as well as a proportionate share of overhead costs such as rent. Costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until technological feasibility is reached, which for our software products, is generally shortly before the products are released to production. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized as a cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products.

 

Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Management does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency - The functional currency of our international subsidiary is the local currency. For that subsidiary, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders' equity. Net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency are recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Comprehensive Loss - During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022, differences between net loss and comprehensive loss totaled $567 and $2,158, respectively, relating to foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - We use the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. We recognize compensation costs on a straight line basis over the service period which is generally the vesting term.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share - Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future.

 

Related Parties - Parties are considered to be related to us if they have control or significant influence, directly or indirectly, over us, including key management personnel and members of the Board of Directors. Related Party transactions are disclosed in Note 18.

Note 6 – Due From Related Party

 

In January 2022, the Company determined that an employee had relocated in 2021 but their compensation had not been subject to the required tax withholding by the new jurisdiction. The amount subject to taxation included $155,624 of cash compensation and $1,413,332 of income associated with the vesting of restricted stock ("Stock Compensation"). In March 2022, the Company entered into a note agreement (the "Note") with the employee in the amount of $510,323, representing the estimated taxes owed by the employee related to the Stock Compensation. Under the terms of the Note, 104,166 shares of common stock with a fair value of $280,832, which had vested during calendar 2021, were withheld by the Company and applied against the Note. The employee has agreed not to sell or transfer 110,983 shares of common stock held at the Company's transfer agent until the Note is repaid. In addition, the employee is scheduled to have 20,833 shares of restricted stock vest monthly in calendar 2022, of which 3,000 shares will be withheld with the fair value of those shares applied against the Note. Any shares issued to the employee in 2022 will be held at the transfer agent until the Note is repaid in full. The Note matures on December 31, 2022 and will be repaid by the employee assigning that number of shares, held at the transfer agent, with a fair value required to repay the Note in full. The Company accrued payroll taxes of $596,120 at January 31, 2022 representing $510,323 owed by the employee, $31,604 owed by the Company, and $54,193 of estimated penalties and interest. The note balance totaled $225,539 at January 31, 2022. The shares held at the transfer agent had a fair value of $206,684 at January 31, 2022. The Company filed amended payroll tax returns, which included a payment of $544,057, on March 16, 2022.

 

 

Note 7 – Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of assets with an estimated useful life greater than one year. Property and equipment are reported net of accumulated depreciation, and the reported values are periodically assessed for impairment. Property and equipment as of January 31, 2022 was as follows:

 

Original cost  $423,588 
Accumulated depreciation   160,729 
Net carrying value  $262,859 

  

 

Note 8 – Operating Leases

 

The Company has the following operating leases for real estate locations where it operates:

In November 2019, the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $300,000 to one accredited investor and in December 2019, the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $125,000 to a director and a convertible note in the principal amount of $25,000 to our chief executive officer (collectively, the "2019 Notes"). The Notes had a term of 2 years and accrued interest at an annual rate of 12% through the date of conversion. In September and October 2020, the entire $450,000 of 2019 Notes, plus accrued interest totaling $45,204, was converted into 710,444 shares of common stock.

 

October 2020 Financing

  

In October 2020, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2020 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The 2020 Notes accrued interest at 12% annually, had a two year term, and were convertible into common stock at the lower of $1.00 or a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future, qualified offering. The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase 399,998 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price equal to the lower of (1) $1.50 per share, or (2) at a price equal to 75% of the price per share of the common stock offered in a future, qualified offering.

 

The Company determined that the provision associated with a potential reduction in the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrant represented an embedded derivative financial liability. The derivative liability was initially valued at $728,587, of which $580,000 of the proceeds were applied as a debt discount to reduce the initial carrying value of the notes to zero with the remaining $20,000 applied against transaction fees. The derivative liability was valued using a multinomial lattice model with $460,588 and $267,999 related to the derivative features of the notes and warrants, respectively.

 

As of January 31, 2022, (a) the 2020 Notes were fully converted into common stock and the related derivative liability eliminated, and (b) 266,666 of the warrants were outstanding with a derivative liability of $445,709.

 

January 2021 Financing

 

In January 2021, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2021 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The 2021 Notes accrued interest at 12% annually, had a two year term, and were convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the lower of $1.00 or a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future, qualified offering. The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase 675,000 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price equal to the lower of (i) $1.50 per share, or (ii) a 25% discount to the price per share of common stock offered in a future qualified offering.

 

The Company determined that the provision associated with a potential reduction in the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrant represented an embedded derivative financial liability. The derivative liability was initially valued at $4,981,701, of which $500,000 was applied as a debt discount to reduce the initial carrying value of the notes to zero. The derivative liability was valued using a multinomial lattice model with $2,111,035 and $2,870,666 related to the derivative features of the notes and warrants, respectively.

 

 19 

 

As of January 31, 2022, (a) the 2021 Notes were fully converted into common stock and the related derivative liability eliminated, and (b) 540,000 of the warrants were outstanding with a derivative liability of $904,390.

 

 

Note 12 - Income Taxes

 

Our operating subsidiary, Red Cat Propware, Inc., is incorporated and based in Puerto Rico which is a commonwealth of the United States. We are not subject to taxation by the United States as Puerto Rico has its own taxing authority which passed the Export Services Act, also known as Act 20, in 2012. Under Act 20, eligible businesses are subject to a special corporate tax rate of 4%. Since inception, we have incurred net losses in each year of operations. Our current provision for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements consisted of a tax benefit against which we applied a full valuation allowance, resulting in no current provision for income taxes. In addition, there was no deferred provision for any of these reporting periods.

 

At January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, we had accumulated deficits of approximately $22,700,000 and $15,800,000, respectively. Deferred tax assets related to the future benefit of these net operating losses for tax purposes totaled approximately $908,000 and $632,000, respectively, based on the Act 20 rate of 4%.  Currently, we focus on projected future taxable income in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that these deferred assets will be realized. Based on the fact that we have not generated an operating profit since inception, we have applied a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021.

In January 2021, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase a total of 675,000 shares in connection with the issuance of $500,000 of convertible notes. The warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.50 which may be reduced to a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future qualified offering. The warrants were valued at $2,870,666 using the multinominal lattice model and are considered derivative liabilities under ASC 815-40. The value of the warrants was included in the determination of the initial accounting for the financing including the calculation of the derivative liability and related expense.

Note 17 - Derivatives

 

The Company completed financings in October 2020 and January 2021 which included notes and warrants containing embedded features subject to derivative accounting. See Note 11 for a full description of these financings. Both the notes and the warrants included provisions which provided for a reduction in the conversion and exercise prices, respectively, if the Company completed a future qualified offering at a lower price. These provisions represent embedded derivatives which are valued separately from the host instrument (meaning the notes and warrants) and recognized as derivative liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company initially measures these financial instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company also measures these financial instruments on the date of settlement (meaning when the note is converted or the warrant is exercised) at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations. Any discount in the carrying value of the note is fully amortized on the date of settlement and recognized as interest expense. The Company estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a multinomial lattice mode1. The range of underlying assumptions used in the binomial model to determine the fair value of the derivative warrant liability upon settlement of the derivative liability and as of January 31, 2022 are set forth below. In addition, the Company's stock price on each measurement date was used in the model.  

 

Risk-free interest rate     1.391.39%  
Expected dividend yield         
Expected term (in years)     3.673.99  
Expected volatility     245.10249.99%  

 

As of January 31, 2022, all of the notes had been converted into common stock and 806,666 of the warrants were outstanding. Changes in the derivative liability during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

         
   

Three months ended

January 31,

 

Nine months ended

January 31,

    2022   2021   2022   2021

Additions             4,981,701               5,710,288  
Eliminated upon exercise of warrants                     (163,141)          
Changes in fair value     (1,026,466)       3,350,135       (1,299,527)       3,433,938  
Balance, end of period   $ 1,350,099     $ 9,144,226     $ 1,350,099     $ 9,144,226  

 

Changes in fair value primarily related to changes in the Company’s stock price during the period with increases in the stock price increasing the liability and decreases in the stock price reducing the liability.

Acquisition of Teal Drones

 

On August 31, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Teal Drones Inc., ("Teal"). Teal is a leader in commercial and government unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV") technology and manufactures the Golden Eagle drone, approved by the US Department of Defense for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications.

 25 

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Teal in exchange for $14,000,000 of our common stock (“Common Stock”) at the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of our Common Stock for the 20 trading days ended August 31, 2021 of $2.908 per share, reduced by the amount of Teal debt assumed consisting of approximately $1.67 million payable to DA4, and approximately $1,457,000 in working capital deficit, for a net closing date payment of $10,872,753. At closing, we issued 3,738,911 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) with a fair market value of $10,431,562. Fifteen (15%) of the Share Consideration (the “Escrow Shares”) was deposited in an escrow account for a period of eighteen (18) months as security for indemnification obligations, any purchase price adjustments due to working capital deficiencies and any other claims or expenses. In December 2021, the Company and Teal agreed to a reduction in the purchase price of $438,058 which resulted in the cancellation of 150,639 shares held in escrow. The fair market value of the cancelled shares was $420,283. The Stock Consideration may be increased if Teal attains certain revenue levels in the twenty four (24) month period following the closing.  The additional consideration begins at $4 million if sales total at least $18 million and ends at $16 million if sales total $36 million.

 

On August 31, 2021, Teal entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with DA4 (the "Loan Agreement") in the amount of $1,670,294 (the "Loan"), representing the outstanding principal amount previously due and owed by Teal. Interest accrues at a rate of ten (10%) percent per annum. Principal and interest is payable monthly in an amount equal to $49,275 until maturity on December 31, 2024. Teal may prepay the loan at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of $300,705, less the amount of any prior payments of interest. Under the Loan Agreement, Teal granted DA4 a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of Teal. In the event of a default, DA4 may declare the full amount of the Loan immediately due and payable and take additional actions including seeking to foreclose on collateral pledged under the Loan Agreement. The Company agreed to guaranty the obligations of Teal under the Loan pursuant to a Joinder Agreement dated August 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021

 

Revenue

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022 (or the "2022 period"), revenues totaled $1,856,751 compared to $2,145,988 during the three months ended January 31, 2021 (or the "2021 period"), representing a decrease of $289,237 or 13%.  The decrease in revenues primarily related to lower sales of Fat Shark’s products at the end of their lifecycles. This decrease was partially offset by the addition of revenues from Skypersonic and Teal which were not included in the 2021 period.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, we incurred cost of goods sold of $1,516,970 compared to $1,576,265 during the three months ended January 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $59,295 or 4%. The decrease corresponds to the decrease in revenues.

 

Gross Margin

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, gross margin was $339,781 compared to $569,723 during the three months ended January 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $229,942 or 40%. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 27% during the 2021 period to 18% during the 2022 period. The lower gross margin during the 2022 period reflects higher product and shipping costs resulting from the impact of global supply chain shortages. Additionally, Fat Shark’s gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 23% during the 2021 period to 8% during the 2022 period partially due to inventory mark downs for products at the end of their lifecycles.

 

Operating Expenses

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, operations expense totaled $334,278 compared to $146,539 during the 2021 period, resulting in an increase of $187,739 or greater than 100%. This increase is related to our expanded operations following the acquisitions of Skypersonic in May 2021 and Teal in August 2021. Operations expense for Skypersonic and Teal in the 2021 period collectively represented 40% of the increase.

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, research and development expenses totaled $811,288 compared to $167,968 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 resulting in an increase of $643,320 or greater than 100%.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, sales and marketing expenses totaled $238,624 compared to $48,719 during the three months ended January 31, 2021, resulting in an increase of $189,905 or greater than 100%. This increase is primarily related to higher payroll costs of $144,781 associated with new hires in the 2022 period.

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,337,183 compared to $499,155 for the three months ended January 31, 2021, representing an increase of $838,028, or more than 100%.  The Company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market in April 2021 which has resulted in higher “public company” expenses including directors' and officers' insurance, investor relations and other public company expenses which collectively increased by $167,346 in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.  Additionally, payroll costs increased by $174,265, travel costs increased by $84,208 and office related expenses increased by $33,421. Finally, we incurred general and administrative expenses for Skypersonic and Teal of $127,728 and $171,270, respectively, which were not included in the 2021 period. 

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, we incurred stock based compensation costs of $782,123 compared to $854,195 in the 2021 period, resulting in a decrease of $72,072 or 8%.

During the 2021 period, the Company recorded derivative related expenses totaling $7,831,836 whereas the Company recorded a net benefit related to its derivatives of $1,026,466 during the 2022 period. The net benefit in the 2022 period was partially offset by investment losses of $363,760. The derivative liability is valued using a multinomial lattice model which utilizes the Company's stock price in its calculation. A decrease in the stock price during the 2022 period resulted in the net benefit.

This decrease is primarily related to changes in the values of the Company's derivative liabilities. A decrease in the stock price during the 2022 period resulted in the net benefit. The decrease in derivative related expenses is offset by higher operating expenses which increased to $3,503,496 in the 2022 period as compared to $1,716,576 in the 2021 period, representing an increase of $1,786,920.  Approximately $1,039,453 of the increase, or 58%, related to Skypersonic and Teal whose acquisitions were completed after the 2021 period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, information from third party professionals, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2022, except that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons:

 

  We did not maintain effective controls regarding the timely financial reporting of accounting transactions. Specifically, certain individuals did not provide reporting on a timely basis regarding certain corporate banking accounts which they managed. The failure to comply with the Company's internal reporting deadlines increases the risk that (i) transactions are not properly accounted for, and (ii) adequate documentation is not obtained. Both risks can adversely impact the accuracy of our financial reporting. The Company is presently evaluating how to remedy this internal control weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
