NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – The Business
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 wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and services through five acquisitions, including:
| A. | In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (“FPV”) drones and equipment, primarily to consumers. The purchase price was $ |
| B. | In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings, Ltd. (“Fat Shark”), a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $ |
| C. | In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provided hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is either denied or not available, yet still record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012. |
| D. | In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones, Inc. (“Teal”), a leader in commercial and government Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) technology. The purchase price was $ | |
| E. | In September 2024, the Company acquired FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation,
an industry-leading provider of VTOL drone, sensor and software solutions, under an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”). As
part of the acquisition, the Company created a new subsidiary, FW Acquisition Inc. (“FlightWave”) for ongoing operations.
The purchase price was $ |
Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment (“Enterprise”) and the Consumer segment (“Consumer”) to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAVs to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal.
On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment, consisting of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, to Unusual Machines. The sale reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital on defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value. See Note 4 and Note 8.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation with respect to the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In September 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements – The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended October 31, 2023, which were originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2023, have been restated. The Company revised its financial statements to remove derivative liabilities due to erroneously reporting warrants from our convertible note financings, as described in Note 16, as having a derivative component.
The impacts of these restatements are detailed in the tables below:

Principles of Consolidation – Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries which include Teal, FlightWave (beginning on September 5, 2024), Skypersonic, as well as Rotor Riot and Fat Shark through the sale date of February 16, 2024. Non-majority owned investments, including the formerly wholly owned subsidiaries Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, are accounted for using the equity method when the Company is able to significantly influence the operating policies of the investee. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Consumer segment businesses are characterized as discontinued operations in these financial statements. The operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are separately stated in those respective financial statements. See Note 4.
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) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (ii) the evaluation of long-term assets, including goodwill, for impairment, (iii) the evaluation of other-than-temporary-impairment of equity method investments, and (iv) valuations of convertible notes payable.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, generally does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the customer from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk. Customers that accounted for 10% or greater of accounts receivable, net as of October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024 were as follows:
| 8 |
| October 31, 2024 | April 30, 2024 | |||||||
| Customer A | % | * | ||||||
| Customer B | % | * | ||||||
| Customer C | * | % | ||||||
| Customer D | * | % | ||||||
* Accounts Receivable was less than 10%
During the six months ended October 31, 2024, two customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 21% and 19%, respectively. During the six months ended October 31, 2023, three customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 13%, 12% and 10%, respectively. The Company does not believe the loss of one or more of these customers would be significant to operations.
Equity Method Investment – The
equity method of accounting is applied to investments in which the Company has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%. The Company
evaluates its equity method investments each reporting period for evidence of a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline.
Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount
of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
The Company performed this analysis and concluded that its investment in UMAC was other-than-temporarily impaired and recognized an impairment
charge of $
Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities, and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The recorded carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable are considered to approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term nature. Liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consist of convertible notes payable. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy for each class of instrument:
| 9 |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Convertible notes payable | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company measures its convertible notes payable at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes payable related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a convertible notes payable fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
In determining the fair value of the convertible notes payable as of October 31, 2024, the Company used a market-based approach. The valuation method utilized a negotiated discount rate and a market yield rate which are unobservable inputs.
An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.
The Company calculated the estimated fair value of the convertible notes payable as of October 31, 2024 using the following assumptions:
| October 31, 2024 | ||||
| Issuance date | ||||
| Maturity date | ||||
| Stock price | ||||
| Expected volatility factor | % | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
The following table presents changes in the Level 3 convertible notes payable measured at fair value for the six months ended October 31, 2024:
| Balance, May 1, 2024 | $ | |||
| Additions | ||||
| Fair value measurement adjustments | ||||
| Balance, October 31, 2024 | $ | |||
Warrants
The fair value of the warrants as of October 31, 2024 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant unobservable inputs for the Monte Carlo model include the stock price, exercise price, risk-free rate of return, time to expiration, and the volatility. An increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value. Additionally, if certain provisions are triggered, reset adjustments may be required in the future. For the quarter ended October 31, 2024, no value was assigned to the warrants due to the fair market value of the convertible note payable being in excess of the proceeds received.
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 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

Note 3 – Business Combination
On September 4, 2024,
the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with FlightWave Aerospace
Systems Corporation (the “Seller”) to broaden the Company’s range of drone products.
The seller sold certain assets used in designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling long range, AI-powered UAVs for commercial use.
Pursuant to the APA, the Company has acquired substantially all of the assets owned, controlled or used by the Seller for an aggregate
purchase price of $
| • | $ | |
| • | $ |
The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized will be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized.
The preliminary summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is as follows:
| Shares issued | $ | |||
| Acquisition consideration payable | ||||
| Total Purchase Price | $ | |||
| Assets acquired | ||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | |||
| Inventory | ||||

| Liabilities assumed | ||||
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | ||||
| Customer deposits | ||||
| Operating lease liabilities | ||||
| Total liabilities assumed | ||||
| Total fair value of net assets acquired | $ | |||
The foregoing amounts reflect our current estimates of fair value as of the September 4, 2024 acquisition date. The Company expects to recognize fair values associated with the customer relationships acquired, as well as the FlightWave proprietary technology and brand name, but has not yet accumulated sufficient information to assign such values. As additional information becomes known regarding the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, management may make adjustments to the opening balance sheet of the acquired company up to the end of the measurement period, which is a one-year period following the acquisition date. 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.

Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved, at times, in various legal proceedings involving a variety of matters. We do not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. We have not recorded any litigation reserves as of October 31, 2024.
One pending legal matter is an action filed against Teal in a U.S. District Court in Delaware. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract which management denies. We are asserting vigorous defenses to the complaint. Additionally, the Company has filed a lawsuit against the complainant for Tortious Interference with Contractual Relations and Prospective Contractual Relations. No discovery or other significant developments in the lawsuit have occurred.
Note 20 – Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of this filing and there are no subsequent events which require disclosure, except as follows:
Subsequent to October 31, 2024, approximately 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock were issued for the exercise of options, warrants, and vested RSUs.
On November 26, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to our Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment”) with Lind. The SPA Amendment amends the terms of our original Securities Purchase Agreement with Lind dated September 23, 2024. Upon closing of the SPA Amendment, we will receive an additional $6,000,000 in funding from Lind in exchange for our issuance to Lind of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $7,200,000 (the “Note”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 326,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.20 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Warrant”). As additional consideration to Lind, we have agreed to pay a commitment fee in the amount of $210,000, which may be paid by deduction from the funding to be received.
| 21 |
The Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $400,000 beginning six months from the issuance date. At our option, monthly payments can be increased up to $750,000 so long as our market capitalization is at least $50 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) is equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind can, at its option, increase the monthly payment amount up to $975,000 for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the Note may be made by the issuance of common stock valued at the Repayment Share Price, cash in an amount equal to 1.025 times the required payment amount, or a combination thereof. The Repayment Share Price is defined in the Note as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share.
The Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $9.20 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward upcoming Note payments in chronological order. The Note may be prepaid in whole upon 5 days’ notice, but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to 25% of principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price (but only if the Repayment Share Price is equal to or greater than $2.00) or the Conversion Price.
On December 13, 2024, Lind provided notice to the Company to convert $1,300,000 of the note payable into 200,000 shares of Common Stock which will be issued on December 16, 2024. Additionally, on December 16, 2024, Lind provided notice to the Company to convert an additional $2,600,000 of the note payable into 400,000 shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Overview
We are a technology company focused on developing products, services, and solutions to the drone industry. We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1984 under the name “Oravest International, Inc.” In November 2016, we changed our name to “TimefireVR, Inc.” and re-incorporated in Nevada. In May 2019, we completed a share exchange agreement with Propware which resulted in the Propware shareholders acquiring an 83% ownership interest, and management control, of the Company. In connection with the share exchange agreement, we changed our name to “Red Cat Holdings, Inc.”, and our operating focus to the drone industry.
Prior to the share exchange agreement, Propware was focused on the research and development of software solutions that could provide secure cloud-based analytics, storage and services for the drone industry. Following the share exchange agreement and name change, we have completed a series of acquisitions and financings which have broadened the scope of our activities in the drone industry.
Recent Developments
On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation (the “Seller”). The seller sold certain assets used in designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling long range, AI-powered UAVs for commercial use. Pursuant to the APA, the Company has acquired substantially all of the assets owned, controlled or used by the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $14,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 3 for further information.
On September 23, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Lind Global Asset Management X LLC (“Lind”). Under the SPA, we received $8 million in funding from Lind in exchange for our issuance to Lind of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $9,600,000 (the “Note”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 750,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $6.50 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Warrant”). As additional consideration to Lind, we paid a commitment fee in the amount of $280,000, which was paid by deduction from the funding to be received. The Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $533,334 beginning March 23, 2024. See Note 13 for further information.
On November 26, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to our Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment”) with Lind. The SPA Amendment amends the terms of our original Securities Purchase Agreement with Lind dated September 23, 2024. Upon closing of the SPA Amendment, we received an additional $6,000,000 in funding from Lind in exchange for our issuance to Lind of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $7,200,000 (the “Note”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 326,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.20 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Warrant”).

See Note 20 for further information.
Plan of Operations
Since April 2016, our primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry which we presently do through our three wholly owned subsidiaries Skypersonic, Teal, and Propware. Beginning in January 2020, we expanded the scope of our drone products and services through five acquisitions, including:
| A. | In January 2020, we acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (FPV) drones and equipment, primarily to the consumer marketplace. The purchase price was $1,995,114. |

| B. | In November 2020, we acquired Fat Shark Holdings, a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $8,354,076. |
| C. | In May 2021, we acquired Skypersonic which provides hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is not available, yet still record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012. |
| D. | In August 2021, we acquired Teal, a leader in commercial and government UAV technology, primarily drones, to government and commercial enterprises, most notably, the military. Teal manufactures drones approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications. The purchase price was $10,011,279. | |
| E. | In September 2024, the Company acquired FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation, an industry-leading provider of VTOL drone, sensor and software solutions, under an Asset Purchase Agreement. As part of the acquisition, the Company created a new subsidiary, FW Acquisition Inc. for ongoing operations The purchase price was $14,000,000. |
Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment (“Enterprise”) and the Consumer segment (“Consumer”) to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAVs to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal.
The Enterprise segment’s current business strategy is focused on providing integrated robotic hardware and software for use across a variety of applications. Its solutions provide critical situational awareness and actionable intelligence to on-the-ground warfighters and battlefield commanders as well as firefighters and public safety officials. Our Enterprise segment’s efforts are centered on developing and scaling an American made family of systems. We have since completed construction of a manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and believe that an increased focus by the United States government and American businesses on purchasing products that are “Made in America” provide our Enterprise segment with a competitive advantage.
On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment, consisting of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, to Unusual Machines. The sale reflects our decision to focus our efforts and capital on defense where we believe there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value.
Results of Operations
The analysis of our results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 includes only our Enterprise segment as our Consumer segment was divested in February 2024.
Discussion and Analysis of Three Months Ended October 31, 2024 compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2023
Revenues
Consolidated revenues totaled $1,534,727 during the three months ended October 31, 2024 (or the “2024 period”) compared to $3,930,868 during the three months ended October 31, 2023 (or the “2023 period”) representing a decrease of $2,396,141, or 61%. The decrease related to lower product revenue and lower contract revenue as the Company has begun shifting manufacturing focus from the Teal 2 to the Black Widow. Product revenue totaled $1,524,791 during the quarter ended October 31, 2024 compared to $3,383,238 during the quarter ended October 31, 2023 representing a decrease of $1,858,447, or 55%. There were no contract revenues during the 2024 period compared to $529,438 during the 2023 period, representing a decrease of $529,438, or 100%. Contract revenues are primarily sourced through government agencies and can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of award deliverables and amendments.
| 24 |
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross loss totaled $23,475 during the 2024 period compared to a gross profit of $1,200,582 during the 2023 period representing a decrease of $1,224,057, or 102%. On a percentage basis, gross loss was 2% during the 2024 period compared to a gross profit of 31% during the 2023 period. The gross loss in the 2024 period was due to lower-than-planned manufacturing levels due to the transition to the Black Widow which resulted in higher relative overhead costs compared to the 2023 period. Our manufacturing facility is presently producing drones at a lower level than it is designed for, and these lower production levels, combined with higher overhead costs, continue to result in lower than targeted gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses totaled $2,231,470 during the 2024 period compared to $2,222,137 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $9,333, or 0.5%.
Sales and marketing costs totaled $2,343,779 during the 2024 period compared to $1,032,645 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $1,311,134 or 127%. The increase was driven by higher payroll expenses due to an increased headcount and an increase in tradeshow attendance in efforts to spread awareness of new products and the Red Cat Futures Initiative.
General and administrative expenses totaled $4,517,695 during the 2024 period compared to $2,838,080 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $1,679,615 or 59%. The increase was mainly due to a higher headcount, including the addition of employees from the FlightWave acquisition. In anticipation of winning the production contract under the Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance program of record, the Company increased investment in personnel necessary to fulfill the contract as well as anticipated demands for future products.
During the 2024 period, we incurred stock-based compensation costs of $1,304,037 compared to $1,196,325 in the 2023 period, resulting in an increase of $107,712 or 9%.
Other Income
Other expense totaled $4,218,199 during the 2024 period compared to $352,019 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $3,866,180 or more than 10 times. This increase is primarily related to a loss of $4,230,307 recognized in the 2024 period on the issuance of the Note to Lind, based on its fair value.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $13,334,618 for the 2024 period compared to $5,244,299 for the 2023 period, resulting in an increase of $8,090,319 or 154%. Total operating expenses totaled $9,092,944 for the 2024 period compared to $6,092,862 for the 2023 period. This increase of $3,000,082 or 49%, related to the increase in sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Discussion and Analysis of Six Months Ended October 31, 2024 compared to Six Months Ended October 31, 2023
Revenues
Consolidated revenues totaled $4,311,262 during the six months ended October 31, 2024 (or the “2024 period”) compared to $5,678,997 during the six months ended October 31, 2023 (or the “2023 period”) representing a decrease of $1,367,735, or 24%. The decrease related to lower product revenue. Product revenue totaled $3,359,991 during the 2024 period compared to $4,796,365 during the 2023 period representing a decrease of $1,436,374, or 30%.
| 25 |
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross loss totaled $506,866 during the 2024 period compared to a gross profit of $1,375,247 during the 2023 period representing a decrease of $1,882,113, or 137%. On a percentage basis, gross loss was 12% during the 2024 period compared to a gross profit of 24% during the 2023 period. The gross loss in the 2024 period was due primarily to the delivery of final prototypes under the Short Range Reconnaissance Tranche 2 contract with the U.S. Army which occurred in the first quarter. This is also due to lower-than-planned manufacturing levels in the transition to the Black Widow which resulted in higher relative overhead costs compared to the 2023 period. Our manufacturing facility is presently producing drones at a lower level than it is designed for, and these lower production levels, combined with higher overhead costs, continue to result in lower than targeted gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses totaled $3,857,910 during the 2024 period compared to $3,575,688 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $282,222, or 8%. The increase was primarily driven by the increased investment in the development of new products as well as the FlightWave acquisition.
Sales and marketing costs totaled $4,385,290 during the 2024 period compared to $2,321,405 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $2,063,885 or 89%. The increase was driven by higher payroll expenses due to an increased headcount and an increase in tradeshow attendance in efforts to spread awareness of new products and the Red Cat Futures Initiative.
General and administrative expenses totaled $8,000,790 during the 2024 period compared to $5,701,838 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $2,298,952 or 40%. The increase was mainly due to a higher headcount, including the addition of employees from the FlightWave acquisition. In anticipation of winning the production contract under the Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance program of record, the Company increased investment in personnel necessary to fulfill the contract as well as anticipated demands for future products.
During the 2024 period, we incurred stock-based compensation costs of $2,750,075 compared to $2,107,931 in the 2023 period, resulting in an increase of $642,144 or 30%.
Other Income
Other expense totaled $8,907,088 during the 2024 period compared to $614,910 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $8,292,178 or more than 13 times. This increase is primarily related to a loss incurred on the sale of our equity method investment of $4,008,357 as well as a loss of $4,230,307 recognized on the issuance of the Note to Lind, based on its fair value.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $25,750,994 for the 2024 period compared to $10,838,594 for the 2023 period, resulting in an increase of $14,912,400 or 138%. Total operating expenses totaled $16,337,040 for the 2024 period compared to $11,598,931 for the 2023 period. This increase of $4,738,109 or 41%, related to the increase in sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $12,487,713 during the 2024 period compared to net cash used in operating activities of $11,240,359 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $1,247,354 or 11%. The increased use of cash primarily related to timing of accounts receivable receipts for government customers. Net cash used in operations, net of non-cash expenses, totaled $13,088,786 during the 2024 period, compared to $7,427,197 during the 2023 period, resulting in an increase of $5,661,589, or 76%. Net cash used related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $601,073 during the 2024 period, compared to negative $3,813,162 during the 2023 period, representing an increase of $4,414,235 or 116%. Changes in operating assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending upon the timing and level of multiple factors, including inventory purchases, vendor payments, and customer collections.
| 26 |
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,276,207 during the 2024 period compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $10,065,641 during the 2023 period, resulting in a decrease of $5,789,434 or 58%. During the 2023 period, proceeds of marketable securities were approximately $10,200,000 compared to $0 during the 2024 period. During the 2024 period, we received proceeds of $4,400,000 from the sale of equity method investment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $6,755,429 during the 2024 period compared to net cash used in financing activities of $286,206 during the 2023 period. The increase related to the proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable during the 2024 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2024, we reported current assets totaling $20,913,163, current liabilities totaling $14,672,706 and net working capital of $6,240,457. Cash totaled $4,611,092 at October 31, 2024. Inventory related balances, including pre-paid inventory, totaled $12,554,330.
Going Concern
We have never been profitable and have incurred net losses related to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the six months ended October 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss of approximately $25,750,000 and used cash in operating activities of approximately $12,500,000. As of October 31, 2024, working capital totaled approximately $6,240,000. These financial results and our financial position at October 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However, we have recently taken actions to strengthen our liquidity. In November 2024, the Company was selected as the winner of the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record. The Company’s manufacturing facility is scaling production of its most recent products and gross profits are projected to increase. As described in Note 13 and Note 20, the Company closed financings with proceeds of approximately $8,000,000 and $6,000,000 in September 2024 and November 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company’s Form S-3 became effective on December 11, 2024. If necessary, the Company will seek additional equity financing for which there can be no guarantee. Management has concluded that these recent positive developments alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue its operations, and meet its financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (ii) the evaluation of long-term assets, including goodwill, for impairment, (iii) the evaluation of other-than-temporary-impairment of equity method investments, and (iv) valuations of convertible notes payable.
| 27 |
Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both. Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross profit, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions are based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.
Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, we have categorized our 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. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments mainly consist of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The recorded carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable are considered to approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term nature. Liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consist of convertible notes payable. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of October 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, specifically pertaining to the quarter ended October 31, 2023 for which we restated items related to the removal of the derivative liabilities.
Management's quarterly report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our accounting policies and internal controls over financial reporting, established and maintained by management, are under the general oversight of the Board’s audit committee.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| • | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
| • | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and | |
| • | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2024. The standard measures adopted by management in making its evaluation are the measures in the Internal-Control Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission.
| 29 |
Based on management’s assessment using the COSO criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, specifically pertaining to the quarter ended October 31, 2023 for which we restated items related to the removal of the derivative liabilities. The Company is currently in the process of formalizing narratives and processes which are expected to mitigate these weaknesses, and has hired additional personnel to strengthen the internal control environment.
Changes In Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended October 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business, some of which may be material. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. Other than as described below, we do not believe that the outcome of any of our current legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On May 9, 2024, Autonodyne LLC filed a complaint against wholly-owned Red Cat subsidiary Teal Drones, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware. The Complaint alleges a single cause of action, asserting that Teal breached a Software Licensing Agreement between it and Autonodyne (the “SLA”) by disclosing confidential information contained in the SLA. Autonodyne alleges that it rightfully terminated the SLA, and at that point it became entitled to $8.25 million of accelerated payments, pursuant to section 14.4(e) of the SLA. Teal Drones has answered the Complaint. Autonodyne filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which was opposed by Red Cat’s outside counsel. The court heard oral arguments on October 10, 2024. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court advised the parties that the arguments and briefs would be taken under advisement, and a decision issued later; a ruling is yet to be issued. As any litigation is subject to many uncertainties, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this claim or to estimate the loss, if any, which may result. Accordingly, the outcome of the claim is not yet determinable, and the extent to which an outflow of funds may be required to settle this possible obligation cannot be reliably determined. The Company plans to vigorously assert defenses to the complaint.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
