**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

**Overview** 

We are a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defense, national security, and commercial applications. We develop American-made hardware and software that supports military, government, and public safety operations across air, land, and sea. Our family of systems delivers tactical capabilities in small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), delivering integrated platforms designed to enhance safety and multi-domain mission effectiveness.

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, the Company 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. ("Red Cat" or the "Company" or "we"). Following the share exchange agreement and our name change, we completed a series of acquisitions and financings which have broadened the scope of our activities in the drone industry.

**The Drone Industry**

The drone industry continues to expand to become a powerful business tool and recreational activity, with growth occurring broadly and across our targeted industries. Unmanned systems have become an increasingly important component of modern military operations. Unmanned aerial systems, as well as unmanned surface vessels, enable military forces to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, target acquisition, electronic warfare, and strike missions while reducing risk to personnel.

Advances in autonomy, sensors, communications, and artificial intelligence have expanded the operational capabilities of these systems and broadened the range of missions they can support. Compared to traditional manned platforms, many unmanned systems can be deployed more rapidly, operate in high-risk or contested environments, and be procured at significantly lower cost.

Recent conflicts have further demonstrated the operational effectiveness of relatively low-cost unmanned systems in areas including battlefield intelligence, force protection, and precision targeting. As a result, military organizations are increasingly integrating unmanned platforms into tactical units and broader operational planning. Many defense planners view unmanned systems as a force multiplier that can complement or augment conventional platforms across air, land, and maritime domains.

**Defense Spending and Modernization Priorities**

Demand for unmanned systems is supported by increasing global defense spending and evolving military modernization priorities. Governments worldwide continue to invest in advanced technologies intended to enhance military readiness, improve operational effectiveness, and maintain technological advantages in areas including autonomy, artificial intelligence, and networked systems.

In the United States, the Department of War ("DoW") has identified autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced sensing capabilities as key priorities within its broader modernization strategy. Multiple branches of the U.S. military have initiated programs focused on expanding the deployment of tactical unmanned systems, including small drones designed to support frontline units with real-time intelligence and situational awareness.

On November 5, 2024, the U.S. Presidential and Congressional elections occurred, with Donald Trump being elected President of the United States, and the Republican party controlling both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. On March 14, 2025 the Senate voted to pass the "Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act of 2025" (H.R. 1968) to further extend appropriations and avert a government shutdown through the end of the federal government's fiscal year 2025 on September 30, 2025. This continuing resolution ("CRA") largely extended fiscal year 2024 spending levels, including certain limited flexibility to reallocate certain program funds, and, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would allow for $1.6 trillion in discretionary spending in the federal government's fiscal

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

year 2025, with $893 billion for defense (an approximately $6 billion increase) and $708 billion for non-defense spending (an approximately $13 billion reduction).

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted. This reconciliation bill appropriated an additional $156 billion for defense spending and national security priorities and is expected to result in increased investment by the DoW in defense modernization projects and increasing weapons and armaments production capacity. Approximately $113 billion of the $156 billion in OBBBA funding for defense and national security priorities is intended to be added to the final 2026 defense appropriations bill (see below) The appropriated funds will remain available to be obligated until September 30, 2029 and can be expended through 2035.

The federal government's 2026 fiscal year began on October 1, 2025, without the passage of Appropriation Acts or a CRA, resulting in a U.S. Government shutdown. On November 9, 2025, a stopgap spending measure was enacted, which expired on January 30, 2026.

The U.S. Department of War's Fiscal Year 2026 budget request totals approximately $961.6 billion, which represents $843.3 billion in base budget (discretionary) and $113.3 billion in reconciliations (mandatory) funding, representing a continuation of the sustained increase in U.S. defense spending and reflecting ongoing investments in advanced technologies including autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and counter-unmanned aerial capabilities.

The potential challenges presented by the recent U.S. Government shutdown, Presidential and Congressional changes, proposed new tariffs, the current budgetary and deficit funding environment, the Trump Administration's stated fiscal policies, Israel, Ukraine, Venezuela and Taiwan funding support, potential heightened levels of inflation, ongoing supply chain disruption, and the challenging appropriations process, among other items, all continue to potentially create significant short and long-term risks to the industry and the Company. Additionally, the Trump Administration has recently executed certain executive orders directly related to significantly changing the current DoW procurement policies and procedures, and the Federal Acquisition Regulations, the potential impact of which such changes, if effected either by executive orders or changes to the relevant law, to the industry, are unknown at this time.

We believe however that our business is well-positioned, including in areas that the Trump Administration, the DoW, the FCC and national security related and other customers currently indicate are priorities for future defense spending. As noted above, we believe that there is a generational recapitalization of weapon systems and the defense industrial base occurring with the U.S. and its allies to address peer and near peer threats, including Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. We believe that our positioning as a proven provider of military grade hardware, products, systems and software to address these threats for and with our customers and partners is recognized in the industry.

**Reporting Segments**

We operate as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM evaluates our financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of the resources, on a consolidated net income (loss) basis. The CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. Our significant segment expenses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The significant segment expenses that are reviewed by our CODM on a regular basis to manage performance and allocate resources include cost of goods sold, research and development and sales and marketing.

**Our Strategy**

Our strategy is to provide products to the war fighter that work. In executing our strategy, Red Cat primarily seeks to utilize proven technology, which we modify, adopt, change, integrate and apply to address market opportunities that we identify jointly with our customers and with our partners. This approach allows us to rapidly develop and field relevant offerings, while reducing technical, schedule and financial risk.

It includes aerospace-specific requirements that strengthen quality control, safety, and traceability. The certification confirms that Teal Drones meets these demanding standards across the full product lifecycle, covering design, manufacturing, and maintenance, ensuring consistent quality, reliability, and performance for customers and partners worldwide. In November 2024, Teal was selected as a winner of the U.S. Army's Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record. The production selection was made after a test and evaluation process of Teal's next generation sUAS, completed by the Army Project Management Office for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, Army Maneuver Battle Lab, Army Test and Evaluation Command, and Army Operational Test Center. Teal products include the Black Widow™, which enables swift adaptation to mission requirements, including SRR with selectable integrated AI software capabilities. The system is purpose-built for defense and security and designed to increase survivability for the war fighter. Teal 2 is another SRR product whose primary application encompasses combat soldiers, police officers, firefighters, wildlife managers, and industrial inspectors rely on the Teal 2 to achieve mission success. Teal 2 is Blue UAS Certified product by the U.S. Department of Defense. FANG™ is a 7" or 10" First Person View (FPV) small UAS designed to put operators directly "in the cockpit" with full manual control. Built as a versatile, lower-cost flying camera system, it enables repetitive training and immersive flight experiences without the expense of higher-end platforms.

*FlightWave*

FlightWave develops and produces long-endurance, vertical takeoff and landing ("VTOL") fixed-wing unmanned aircraft systems designed for extended-range intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. FlightWave produces the Edge 130, which combines its innovative vertical take-off and landing capabilities, seamless transition between hover and forward flight modes, and tool-free payload swapping designed to operate in the most challenging environments.

*Blue Ops*

In August 2025, we announced the launch of our newest division, Blue Ops, Inc., focused on developing a family of battle-tested USV weapons systems that meet the rapidly evolving demands of the modern battlefield. This new division underscores our strategy to expand our family of systems and evolve into an all-domain defense company. As part of the all-domain and multi-use case (ISR, tactical strike) strategy, we will be integrating various sensors, kinetics, and other capabilities into this new USV weapons system, including the transportation and deployment of its existing aerial UAS systems. Blue Ops' first USV was built and delivered to its Florida showroom in the 4th quarter of 2025.

**Industry Partnerships**

We view strategic partnerships as a means by which to further the reach of our innovative solutions by accessing new markets, customers, and complementary capabilities. We also consider acquisitions as a method to obtain valuable products, capabilities or technologies that can further enable our growth strategy.

*Partnership to Enable FANG™ FPV Drone Deployment from AeroVironment's P550™ UAS*

We announced a development roadmap with AeroVironment, Inc. ("AV") (NASDAQ: AVAV) to enable our FANG™ FPV drones to be deployed as a payload from AV's P550™ all-electric Group 2 eVTOL UAS.

We are actively working with AV to develop a marsupial configuration that enables the P550 to carry and release FANG from its modular CLIK interface. Leveraging the P550's Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) architecture, the concept demonstrates how interoperable unmanned systems can work together to deploy a smaller FPV drone from a long-endurance Group 2 platform to extend reach and tactical flexibility within a single mission framework.

AV's P550 is an autonomous, all-electric Group 2 eVTOL UAS featuring a 15-pound modular payload capacity, five-hour endurance, and advanced AI-enabled autonomy. Our FANG™ FPV drone, part of its Arachnid Family of Systems, is an NDAA compliant FPV platform built for ISR and tactical applications. When deployed from a P550 in a marsupial

configuration, FANG can provide close-in situational awareness beyond visual line of sight, enhance operator decision-making and, in future iterations, support additional payload configurations.

We are collaborating on the engineering, interface, and control requirements needed to enable this payload deployment concept. The teams are conducting design and compatibility work ahead of future demonstrations to showcase how modular systems can expand mission flexibility for U.S. and allied defense forces. This forward-looking collaboration aims to demonstrate interoperability between Group 2 and FPV-class systems, extend FPV operational range through aerial deployment, combine long- and short-range ISR capabilities within one mission, showcase modular, MOSA-aligned pathways for the Army's evolving sUAS ecosystem.

*Successful Flight Testing of Palantir's VNav Software on Black Widow™ Drone*

We successfully completed flight testing of our Black Widow™ drone equipped with Palantir Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: PLTR) Visual Navigation (VNav) Software. The test demonstrated that the Black Widow™ drone can navigate in GPS-denied conditions using Palantir's visual-based navigation software. This marked the first known commercial demonstration of visual navigation software on a drone already accepted into a U.S. Army program.

The testing sequence validated full integration of VNav with the Black Widow™ flight controller, including compatibility with GPS-assisted operation, accurate navigation in simulated GPS-denied environments, reliable operation at altitudes as low as one hundred fifty feet AGL and speeds up to sixteen miles per hour, robust performance in twilight and extremely low-light conditions, and a simulated reconnaissance mission with dynamic flight parameters, completed successfully without GPS or human input.

*Apium Joins Red Cat Futures Initiative to Advance Swarming Autonomy for Tactical Drones*

Apium Swarm Robotics, Inc., a developer of distributed autonomy for unmanned systems, signed a memorandum of agreement with the Company and joined the Red Cat Futures Initiative. The Futures Initiative is a strategic collaboration aimed to fast-track the deployment of autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. Apium's technology was successfully integrated onto the Teal 2 drone enabling the drones to autonomously perform multi-agent missions.

Apium's system scalability is a result of moving the swarm logic from a centralized ground station to the drone itself. This allows each drone to make independent decisions through cooperation with neighboring vehicles without requiring a constant up-link or ground control. This architecture eliminates single points of failure, allowing the swarm to continue to operate even when vehicles fail or ground station communications are lost. The system has also demonstrated resiliency when degraded by jamming or interference.

Operators can engage any of the variety of behaviors found in Apium's Swarm Library with just a few taps on a touch screen interface. These behaviors range in complexity from orbiting over a target, to fully automated collaborative sorties. Behaviors may be changed or adjusted, at any time, even after the swarm has been launched. Vehicles may join or leave the swarm mid-mission, allowing vehicles to be temporarily reassigned for direct individual control, sensor ops, or kinetic action and later reintegrate with the swarm seamlessly.

**Sales and Marketing**

Our sales and marketing efforts have been focused on developing relationships with the military agencies of the U.S. Federal Government. While the sales cycle for government agencies can be extensive and take considerable time and effort to establish, they can often become a long-term buyer once initial sales are closed. Our sales and marketing teams have also been active in international markets looking at establishing long term relationships with foreign government and military clients as well.

**Suppliers**

We are dependent upon the availability of materials and major components and the performance of our suppliers. Historically, we have been successful in obtaining the materials required in our manufacturing processes. We seek to manage materials supply risk through long-term non-binding agreements with certain key suppliers that help stabilize pricing, reduce lead times, enhance planning accuracy and, to some degree, mitigate risk. While we believe that all such raw materials and components are available to meet our needs from various suppliers, certain supply chain constraint

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

trends, such as increased demand for domestic suppliers, could cause delays in production and development programs and negatively impact our operating results.

**Competition**

We believe the principal competitive factors in the markets for our uncrewed aerial and maritime systems include product performance; mission reliability; survivability; innovative features; acquisition cost; lifetime operating cost, including maintenance and logistics support; ease of deployment and operation; secure communications; rapid integration with existing command-and-control architectures; manufacturing scalability; customer support; and brand reputation. Several companies globally, primarily in the United States and allied nations, compete in these markets to varying degrees. While many competitors possess substantial financial, technical, and marketing resources, we believe our focus on tactical edge systems, rapid innovation cycles, and mission-driven design differentiates our offerings.

The market for small UAS platforms is highly competitive and continues to evolve rapidly in response to changing operational requirements, emerging autonomy capabilities, and government procurement programs emphasizing domestic manufacturing and cybersecurity compliance. We also face competition from international manufacturers offering comparable small tactical UAS platforms, particularly in allied markets.

The market for mid-sized tactical UAS platforms includes competitors with varying degrees of endurance, payload capacity, and vertical launch capability.

The market for tactical and mid-sized USVs is competitive and characterized by increasing demand for autonomous navigation, modular payload integration, maritime domain awareness, and fleet interoperability.

Across all divisions, we compete with established defense contractors, emerging venture-backed technology companies, and international manufacturers. In addition, evolving government procurement policies, regulatory requirements, and export controls may affect the competitive landscape. We believe our focus on secure, mission-ready systems, rapid innovation, and customer-driven development positions us competitively within our target markets.

**Government Regulation and Federal Policy**

*The Federal Aviation Administration*

The Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA"), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, regulates and oversees civil aviation in the United States. Its mission is aviation safety, and reliability of the National Airspace System ("NAS") The FAA uses the term "unmanned aircraft systems" ("UAS") to describe aircraft operated without a flight crew onboard, commonly referred to as drones, UAVs, or remotely operated aircraft.

Over the last decade, the FAA has steadily moved UAS from one-off approvals toward a predictable operating framework. Registration requirements, the Part 107 remote pilot regime, and Remote ID each created the scaffolding for lawful commercial operations at scale. For UAS manufacturers, the value is simple: clearer rules expand the addressable market, reduce friction for customers, and reward platforms built to operate compliantly.

*Part 108 (proposed BVLOS rulemaking)*

The FAA's proposed BVLOS rule would establish 14 CFR Part 108, creating a dedicated pathway for routine, scalable operations beyond visual line of sight, instead of relying on waivers and bespoke approvals. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") is structured around two authorization tracks, operating permits for defined, lower-risk missions and operating certificates for more complex operations with additional program requirements. It also ties BVLOS scalability to standardized operator obligations, maintenance expectations, and a defined process for UAS airworthiness acceptance. The practical effect is to turn BVLOS into an operational category that can be productized by industry, rather than a regulatory exception that must be litigated flight-by-flight.

For manufacturers, Part 108 is expected to be a direct value driver because it:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• normalizes BVLOS as a repeatable use case across infrastructure, public safety, agriculture, surveying, and logistics, which expands demand for capable systems;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rewards platforms engineered for design assurance, reliability, and compliance documentation, which becomes a differentiator as operators migrate off waivers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduces the commercial penalty of regulatory uncertainty, making customer procurement and long-cycle enterprise adoption more realistic.

Additionally, in January 2025, we received FAA authorization to operate UAS in U.S. airspace without broadcasting Remote ID, specifically for aeronautical research in controlled conditions. The approval remains valid through January 31, 2028, barring earlier rescission or extension.

*FCC Covered List Action*

Separate from FAA operational regulation, the FCC controls whether many wireless-enabled devices can be authorized for import and sale in the United States through its equipment authorization regime. In December 2025, the FCC updated its Covered List to add foreign-produced UAS and foreign-produced UAS critical components on a going-forward basis, based on a national security determination. This is a meaningful market-structure change: it constrains the pipeline of new foreign models entering U.S. commerce through normal authorization channels, while creating a clear incentive for trusted, compliant domestic supply chains.

In early January 2026, the FCC also recognized a defense-driven carve-out for vetted, trusted systems, including UAS and components on the Defense Contract Management Agency's Blue UAS list and certain domestic end products under Buy American standards, through January 1, 2027.

This is expected to benefit UAS manufacturers because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it shifts competitive advantage toward trusted platforms with resilient supply chains, rather than lowest-cost imports;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it rewards manufacturers that can meet government and enterprise security requirements without redesigning the product around last-minute compliance surprises; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it reduces customer risk around procurement continuity, supportability, and policy whiplash.

*American Security Drone Act*

In February 2023, Members of Congress introduced the American Security Drone Act (ASDA) to limit procurement and use of covered foreign UAS, reflecting national security and data risk concerns. ASDA became law as part of the FY24 NDAA and is being implemented through federal acquisition rules that prohibit executive agencies (and, critically, contractors using federal funds) from procuring covered foreign UAS, with an operational prohibition tied to statutory timelines.

For UAS manufacturers, ASDA is expected to drive value because it:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• creates durable demand signals inside federal procurement and federally funded programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accelerates state and local migration away from covered foreign platforms where federal money touches the purchase; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• turns "trusted" from a marketing adjective into a procurement gate, which benefits manufacturers already aligned to U.S. security expectations.

**Environmental Considerations**

While the operations of many businesses have some form of negative impact on the environment, drones have a unique ability to provide a positive contribution. Many of these relate to a drone's ability to reach places in a more efficient manner, and include such activities as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Aerial mapping and nature monitoring

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintenance of renewable energy sources and infrastructure

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disaster relief monitoring

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Agriculture sustainability

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wildlife conservation

**Intellectual Property**

The Company has consolidated its company-owned intellectual property ("IP") into a subsidiary, UAVPatent Corp. The subsidiary holds 34 issued patents and registered designs and 13 pending patents. The IP portfolio includes design and utility patents ranging from modular architectures to autonomous capabilities. None of the patents are currently licensed and IP is generated in the general course of engineering design.

UAVPatent Corp also has the trademarks on the Teal, FlightWave, Skypersonic, and Red Cat brands and logos.

Intellectual Property related to our drones is also acquired through supply purchasing in the form of technology rights and software licenses.

**Risks Related to our Financial Results and Condition**

***We have incurred net losses since inception.***

We have never been profitable and reported an accumulated deficit of $196.8 million at December 31, 2025. These losses have had an adverse effect on our financial condition, stockholders' equity and working capital. We will need to generate higher revenues, improve profit margins, and control operating costs in order to attain profitability. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to reach profitability.

***We may need additional capital to fund our expanding operations until we reach profitability, and if we are not able to obtain sufficient capital, we may be forced to limit or curtail our operations.***

If additional equity and/or debt financing is not available, then we may not be able to continue to develop our business activities, and we will have to modify our business plan. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results and our financial condition. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we could be forced to cease our business activities and dissolve. In such an event, we may incur additional financial obligations, including the accelerated maturity of debt obligations, lease termination fees, employee severance payments, and other creditor and dissolution-related obligations.

Our ability to raise financing through sales of equity and/or debt securities depends on general market conditions and the demand for our common stock and/or debt securities. We may be unable to raise adequate capital through sales of equity and/or debt securities, and if our stock has a low market price at the time of such sales, our existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution. If adequate financing is not available or unavailable on acceptable terms, we may find we are unable to fund expansion, continue offering products and services, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or products, or to respond to competitive pressures in the industry which may jeopardize our ability to continue operations.

***Lack of long-term purchase orders and commitments from customers may lead to a rapid decline in sales.***

Our customers issue purchase orders solely at their own discretion. Customers are generally able to cancel orders (without penalty) or delay the delivery of products on relatively short notice. In addition, current customers may decide not to purchase products for any reason. If our customers do not continue to purchase our products, then our sales volume could decline rapidly with little or no warning.

We cannot rely on long-term purchase orders or commitments to protect us from the negative financial effects of a decline in demand for our products. The uncertainty of product orders makes it difficult to forecast sales and allocate resources in a manner consistent with actual sales. Moreover, expense levels and the amounts invested in capital equipment and new product development costs are based in part on expectations of future sales and, if expectations regarding future sales are inaccurate, we may be unable to reduce costs in a timely manner to adjust for sales shortfalls. As a result of lack of long-term purchase orders and purchase commitments, we may experience a rapid decline in sales.

***Our products require a continuing investment in research and development, and may experience technical problems or delays, which could lead the business to fail.***

Our research and development efforts remain subject to all the risks associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative technologies. This includes, for example, unexpected technical problems or the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products. If technical problems or delays arise, further improvements in products and the introduction of future products could be adversely impacted, and we could incur significant additional expenses, an inability to increase revenues and increasing operating losses.

***The nature of our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity.***

We develop and sell products where insurance or indemnification may not be available, including (i) those using advanced and unproven technologies and drones, and (ii) those that collect, distribute and analyze various types of information.

Failure of certain of our products could result in loss of life or property damage. Certain products may raise questions with respect to issues of civil liberties, intellectual property, trespass, conversion and similar concepts. Indemnification to cover

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

potential claims or liabilities resulting from a failure of technologies developed or deployed may be available in certain circumstances but not in others. We do not and are not able to maintain insurance to protect against our risks and uncertainties. Substantial claims resulting from an accident, failure of our product, or liability arising from our products in excess of any indemnity or insurance coverage (or for which indemnity or insurance is not available or was not obtained) could harm our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results. Any accident, even if fully covered or insured, could negatively affect our reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively.

***Product quality issues and a higher-than-expected number of warranty claims or returns could harm our business and operating results.***

The products that we sell have in the past and may in the future contain defects in design or manufacture. Defects have also occurred in the products or components that are supplied to us. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and remedy all defects in the hardware and software we sell which could result in product recalls, product redesign efforts, loss of revenue, reputational damage and significant warranty and other remediation expenses. If we determine that a product does not meet product quality standards or may contain a defect, the launch of such product could be delayed until we remedy the quality issue or defect. The costs associated with any protracted delay necessary to remedy a quality issue or defect in a new product could be substantial.

We generally provide a one-year warranty on all of our products. The occurrence of any material defects in our products could expose us to liability for damages and warranty claims in excess of our current reserves, and we could incur significant costs to correct any defects, warranty claims or other problems. In addition, if any of our product designs are defective or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall campaign. In part due to the terms of our warranty policy, any failure rate of our products that exceeds our expectations may result in unanticipated losses. Any negative publicity related to the perceived quality of our products could affect our brand image and decrease retailer, distributor and consumer confidence and demand, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Further, accidental damage coverage and extended warranties are regulated in the United States at the state level and are treated differently within each state. Additionally, outside of the United States, regulations for extended warranties and accidental damage vary from country to country. Changes in interpretation of the regulations concerning extended warranties and accidental damage coverage on a federal, state, local or international level may cause us to incur costs or have additional regulatory requirements to meet in the future in order to continue to offer our support services. Our failure to comply with past, present and future similar laws could result in reduced sales of our products, reputational damage, penalties and other sanctions, which could harm our business and financial condition.

***Our operating results may be adversely impacted by worldwide political, economic and public health uncertainties and specific conditions in the markets we address.***

A deterioration in global economic, financial, and/or public health conditions, including global pandemics, economic recessions and political turmoil could materially adversely affect (i) our ability to raise, or the terms of needed capital; (ii) demand for our current and future products; and (iii) the supply of components for our products. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the drone industry.

***Acquisitions could divert the attention of key personnel, be difficult to integrate, dilute our existing stockholders and adversely impact our financial results.***

Since January 2020, we have completed multiple acquisitions which have significantly increased the scope of our operations and our employee headcount. Acquisitions include a wide range of risks, any of which could hurt our business, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in integrating the operations of a newly acquired company including existing products and contracts, differences in corporate culture, operating systems and other integration issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• challenges supporting and transitioning the customers of acquired companies and the loss of any acquired customers will adversely impact our revenues and operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assumption of known and unknown operating problems and our potential inability to address them in a timely and efficient manner;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks of entering new geographic markets where we have no prior experience and are required to gain an understanding of the legal, regulatory, labor and business laws of these new markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• complexities associated with managing the geographic separation of the combined businesses and consolidating multiple physical locations where management may determine consolidation is desirable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties or delays in transitioning U.S. Government contracts pursuant to federal acquisition regulations.

Acquired businesses may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition, including cyber and other security vulnerabilities. In particular, to the extent that prior owners of any acquired businesses or properties failed to comply with or otherwise violated applicable laws or regulations, or failed to fulfill their contractual obligations to the U.S. Government or other customers, we, as the successor owner, may be financially responsible for these violations and failures and may suffer reputational harm or otherwise be adversely affected. Acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to potential impairment in the future that could harm our financial results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted, which could affect the market price of our stock. If we finance the cost of an acquisition using debt, such financing could include restrictive covenants that restrict our operating and financial flexibility. If the stock market perceives that we overpaid for the acquisition, then our stock price could decrease.

Acquisitions and/or the related equity financings could also impact our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. Acquisitions frequently involve benefits related to integration of operations. The failure to successfully integrate the operations or to otherwise realize any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition could seriously harm our financial condition and results of operations. While we believe that we have established appropriate and adequate procedures and processes to mitigate these risks, there is no assurance that these transactions will be successful.

***Our failure to effectively manage growth could harm our business.***

We intend to expand the number and types of products we sell. We will need to replace and regularly introduce on a timely basis new products and technologies, enhance existing products, and effectively stimulate customer demand for new products and upgraded or enhanced versions of our existing products.

The replacement and expansion of our products places a significant strain on our management, operations and engineering resources. Specifically, the areas that are strained most by these activities include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **<u>New Product Launches:</u>** With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio, we will experience increased complexity in coordinating product development, manufacturing, and shipping. As this complexity increases, it places a strain on our ability to accurately coordinate the commercial launch of our products with adequate supply to meet anticipated customer demand and effectively market to stimulate demand and market acceptance. We have experienced delays in the past. If we are unable to scale and improve our product launch coordination, we could frustrate our customers and lose possible retail shelf space and product sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **<u>Existing Products Impacted by New Introductions</u>:** The introduction of new products or product enhancements may shorten the life cycle of our existing products, or replace sales of some of our current products, thereby offsetting the benefit of a successful product introduction and may cause customers to defer purchasing our existing products in anticipation of the new products. These occurrences could potentially lead to challenges in managing inventory of existing products. We may also provide price protection to some of our retailers as a result of new product introductions and reduce the prices of existing products. If we fail to effectively manage new product introductions, our revenue and profitability may be harmed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **<u>Forecasting, Planning and Supply Chain Logistics</u>:** With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio, we will experience increased complexity in forecasting customer demand, in planning for production, and in transportation and logistics management. If we are unable to scale and improve our forecasting, planning, production, and logistics management, we could frustrate our customers, lose product sales or accumulate excess inventory.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

***Our products are subject to lengthy development cycles.***

Our products are subject to lengthy product development cycles. The time elapsed between initial sampling of our products, the custom design of our products to meet specific product requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our products into salable products is significant, often with a duration of more than one year. If our products fail to meet our customers' cost, performance, or technical requirements or if unexpected technical challenges arise in the integration of our products into enterprise markets, then our operating results could be significantly and adversely affected. Long delays in achieving customer qualification and incorporation of our products also could adversely affect our business. Many head-mounted display companies are introducing digital head-mounted displays which could create shortages of components and provide an opportunity for companies with significantly greater resources than us to accelerate migration to digital products in a manner or timeline which we cannot meet, which could cause us to lose market share and harm our business and prospects. These same risks exist in our Enterprise sector where our competitors include some of the largest defense companies in the world.

***We expect to incur substantial research and development costs related to identifying and commercializing new products and services which may never result in revenues.***

Our future growth depends on expanding into new markets, adapting existing products to new applications, and introducing new products and services that achieve market acceptance. We plan to incur substantial research and development costs as part of these efforts. We believe that there are significant investment opportunities in a number of business areas. Because we account for internal research and development as an operating expense, these expenditures will adversely affect our earnings in the future. Further, our research and development programs may not produce successful results, and our new products and services may not achieve market acceptance, generate revenue or cash flow, which could adversely impact our financial results and liquidity.

***We identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, and may in the future identify additional material weaknesses. Until we remediate the identified material weakness or if we identify additional material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately and timely report our financial results, in which case our business may be harmed and investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports.***

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

In connection with the Company's evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, we identified instances in which we needed to employ more resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of all duties. While this material weakness has not resulted in a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements, nor in any restatements of consolidated financial statements previously reported by us, it could in the future result in misstatements or restatements of our financial statements.

We are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses, including hiring additional personnel, training, designing and implementing new control activities, and enhancing existing control activities.

We are working to remediate the material weaknesses as efficiently and effectively as possible and expect full remediation. At this time, we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred or precise timing in connection with implementing this remediation plan; however, these remediation measures will be time consuming, will result in the Company incurring additional costs, and will place additional demands on our financial and operational resources.

If we are unable to successfully remediate existing or any future material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and/or we could become subject to litigation or investigations by The Nasdaq Capital Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

**Risks Related to our Operations**

***Our operations may be adversely affected if we lose our rights under third-party technology licenses.***

Our business relies on technology rights and software licensed from third parties. We could lose our exclusivity or other rights to use the technology if we fail to comply with the terms and performance requirements of the licenses. In addition, certain licensors may terminate a license upon our breach and have the right to consent to sublicense arrangements. If we were to lose our rights under any of these licenses, or if we were unable to obtain required consents to future sublicenses, we could lose a competitive advantage in the market, and may even lose the ability to commercialize certain products or technologies.

***If our customers are not satisfied with our technical support, firmware or software updates, they may choose not to purchase our products which would adversely impact business and operating results.***

Our business relies on our customers' satisfaction with the technical support, firmware, software and security updates we provide to support our products. If we fail to provide technical support services and necessary updates that are (i) responsive, (ii) satisfy our customers' expectations and (iii) resolve issues that they encounter with our products, then customers may choose not to purchase additional products and we may face brand and reputational harm which could adversely affect our operating results.

***Our use of open-source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and could subject us to possible litigation.***

We incorporate open-source software into our products. Open-source software is generally licensed by its authors or other third parties under open-source licenses. Some of these licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the open-source software, and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of a particular open-source license or other license granting third parties certain rights of further use. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated open-source software into software that we license from such provider, we could be required to disclose any of our source code that incorporates or is a modification of our licensed software. If an author or other third-party that distributes open-source software that we use or license were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of the applicable license, we could incur significant legal expenses defending against those allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from offering or selling our products that contained the open-source software and be required to comply with the foregoing conditions. Any of the foregoing could disrupt and harm our business and financial condition.

***We must recruit and retain highly trained and experienced employees, especially engineers, in order to succeed in our business.***

We will need to hire and retain highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent contractors in order to develop our products and grow our business. The competition for highly skilled technical, managerial, and other personnel can be intense. Our recruiting and retention success is substantially dependent upon our ability to offer competitive salaries and benefits to our employees. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and other resources than we do and that may be more attractive to potential employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits we offer to employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of retaining or attracting new personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. If we fail to attract and retain the technical and managerial personnel required to be successful, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***Our facilities and information systems and those of our key suppliers could be damaged as a result of disasters or unpredictable events which could have an adverse effect on our business operations.***

Our manufacturing facilities are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Torrance, California, and Valdosta, Georgia. We also rely on third-party manufacturing plants in the US, Asia and other parts of the world to provide key components for our products and services. If major disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms pandemics, fires, floods, wars, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, transportation disasters or other events occur in any of these locations, or the effect of climate change on any of these factors or our locations, or our information systems or communications network or those of any of our key component suppliers breaks down or operates improperly as a result of such events, our facilities or those of our key suppliers may be seriously damaged, and we may have to stop or delay production and shipment of our products. We may also incur expenses relating to such damages. If production or shipment of our products or components is stopped

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

or delayed or if we incur any increased expenses as a result of damage to our facilities, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***We rely on third-party suppliers, some of which are sole-source suppliers, to provide components for our products which has in the past and may continue to lead to supply shortages, long lead times for components, and supply changes, any of which could disrupt our supply chain, increase our costs, and adversely impact our operating results***

Our ability to meet customer demand depends on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of components for our products. All of the components that go into our products are sourced from third-party suppliers. Some of the key components used to manufacture our products come from a limited or single source of supply or by a supplier that could potentially become a competitor. Our contract manufacturers generally purchase these components on our behalf from approved suppliers. We are subject to the risk of, and have experienced, shortages and long lead times in the supply of these components and the risk that our suppliers discontinue or modify components used in our products. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. We have experienced component shortages and the availability of these components may be unpredictable in the future.

If we lose access to or experience a significant disruption in the supply of products and components from a supplier, as has previously occurred and may continue to occur, we may be unable to locate alternative suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all, and our business could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if we experience a significant increase in demand for our products, our suppliers might not have the capacity or elect not to meet our needs as they allocate components to other customers. Developing suitable alternate sources of supply for these components may be time-consuming, difficult and costly, and we may not be able to source these components on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, which may adversely affect our ability to fulfill our orders in a timely or cost-effective manner. Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with the supplier's quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability, labor and other ethical practices. If we seek to source materials from new suppliers, there can be no assurance that we could do so in a manner that does not disrupt the manufacture and sale of our products.

Our reliance on single source, or a small number of suppliers involves a number of additional risks, including risks related to supplier capacity constraints as has previously occurred and may continue to occur, price increases, timely delivery, component quality, failure of a key supplier to remain in business and adjust to market conditions, as well as natural disasters, fire, acts of terrorism or other catastrophic events, including global pandemics.

***We depend on third parties to provide integrated circuit chip sets and other critical components for use in our products.***

We do not manufacture the integrated circuit chip sets, optics, micro-displays, backlights, projection engines, printed circuit boards or other electronic components which are used in our products. Instead, we purchase them from third-party suppliers or rely on third-party independent contractors for these integrated circuit chip sets and other critical components, some of which are customized, or custom made for us. We also may use third parties to assemble all or portions of our products. Some of these third-party contractors and suppliers are small companies with limited financial resources. If any of these third-party contractors or suppliers were unable or unwilling to supply these components, our sales and operating results would be adversely impacted. As the availability of components decreases, the cost of acquiring those components ordinarily increases. High growth product categories have experienced chronic shortages of components during periods of exceptionally high demand. If we do not properly anticipate the need for or procure critical components, we may pay higher prices for those components, our gross profits may decrease and we may be unable to meet the demands of our customers and end-users which could reduce our competitiveness, cause a decline in our market share and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

***We may be subject to litigation, legal proceedings, and class action claims that could adversely affect our business and financial condition.***

From time to time, we have been, and may in the future be, subject to claims, legal proceedings, and class action lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. Although we do not currently believe that any pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, we cannot provide assurance that pending legal matters, including class action lawsuits, will not result in significant liabilities. The defense of litigation, regardless of its merit, can be costly and time-consuming, may divert management's attention and resources, and could result in settlements, judgments, or other outcomes that adversely affect

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any adverse resolution of such matters could also harm our reputation and negatively impact our relationships with customers, partners, and government agencies.

***There are difficult issues to navigate in the development and use of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies ("AI Technologies"), which may result in reputational harm or liability, and failure to introduce new and innovative products that have AI Technology capabilities could put us at a competitive disadvantage.***

We currently incorporate AI Technologies into certain of our products, solutions and business functions, and may seek to expand or alter the use of AI Technologies in the future. As with many innovations, AI Technologies present risks, challenges, and unintended consequences that could affect our business. AI Technology algorithms and training methodologies may be flawed. These deficiencies and other failures of AI Technologies could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Further, since AI Technologies are emerging technologies for which the legal and regulatory landscape is not fully developed, incorporating AI Technologies into our products, solutions and business functions could give rise to litigation or other legal claims, as well as risk of non-compliance and unknown cost of compliance, (including potential liability for breaching intellectual property, data privacy or security-related laws and regulations). While new AI Technology initiatives, laws, and regulations are emerging and evolving, what they ultimately will look like remains uncertain, and our obligation to comply with them could entail significant costs, negatively affect our business, or entirely limit our ability to incorporate certain AI Technology capabilities into our offerings. Additionally, leveraging AI Technology capabilities to potentially improve internal functions and operations presents further risks and challenges. The use of AI to support our business operations carries inherent risks related to data privacy and security, such as intended, unintended, or inadvertent transmission of proprietary, sensitive or export-controlled information, as well as challenges related to implementing and maintaining AI Technology tools. Our policies, procedures and controls relating to the development, deployment and use of AI capabilities may not be sufficient to adequately protect the information that we collect, process or use, or to ensure compliance with applicable or emerging laws, regulations and government guidance relating to AI Technologies. Any actual or perceived failure to maintain effective controls, or to timely enact or adapt our policies and procedures, could result in regulatory scrutiny, contractual liability, brand or reputational harm or adverse impact to our business and financial condition. Additionally, our competitors might move faster than us to gain efficiencies by incorporating AI Technologies into their design and development processes, and our products and/or cost structure could become less competitive as a result. The rapid evolution of AI Technologies will require the application of resources by us to develop, test and maintain our products, services and operations to help ensure that AI Technologies are implemented ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact. Our competitors may be faster or more successful than we are in incorporating AI Technologies and other disruptive technology into their offerings, which would impair our ability to compete successfully.

***Our financial success is dependent on contracts awarded through a lengthy, uncertain and competitive process***.

Certain federal government, as well as commercial contracts, are awarded through a lengthy, uncertain and competitive process that could be a year or more from the initial solicitation to final contract award. We expect that certain business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through lengthy and competitive procedures. Competitive contractual processes impose substantial upfront costs and present a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential requirements to prove a performance guarantee as part of a bid submission;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expense and delay that we may face if our competitors protest or challenge contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that any such process requires resubmission of offers, or termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to obtain certain such contracts or awards upon which our business is dependent.

The risks we face in the process to secure contracts may be substantial and, to the extent we participate in such processes and are unable to win particular contracts, there may be a negative effect on our operating results and substantial impact on our realized revenues.

**Risks Related to our Industry**

***We operate in an emerging and rapidly growing industry which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects.***

The drone industry is relatively new and is growing rapidly. As a result, it is difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. We cannot accurately predict whether, and even when, demand for our products will increase, if at all. The risks, uncertainties and challenges encountered by companies operating in emerging and rapidly growing industries include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generating sufficient revenue to cover operating costs and sustain operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Acquiring and maintaining market share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attracting and retaining qualified personnel, especially engineers with the requisite technical skills;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Successfully developing and commercially marketing new products:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accessing the capital markets to raise additional capital, on reasonable terms, if and when required to sustain operations or to grow the business.

***We face competition from larger companies that have substantially greater resources which challenges our ability to establish market share, grow our business segments, and reach profitability.***

The drone industry is attracting a wide range of significantly larger companies which have substantially greater financial, management, research and marketing resources than us. Competitors in the Enterprise segment include transportation companies like United Parcel Service, Federal Express and Amazon, as well as defense companies such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and AeroVironment. Our competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities than we can provide, including technical qualifications, pricing, and key technical support. Many of our competitors may utilize their greater resources to (i) develop competing products and technologies, (ii) leverage their financial strength to utilize economies of scale and offer lower pricing, and (iii) hire more qualified personnel by offering more generous compensation packages. In order to secure orders and contracts, we may have to offer comparable products and services at lower pricing which could adversely affect our operating margins. Our inability to compete effectively against these larger companies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

***Our business is dependent upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes.***

The market for our products is characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments could result in serious harm to our business and operating results. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market products that respond in a timely manner to the technological requirements and preferences of our customers, and evolving industry standards.

We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to invest significant financial resources to develop new products and technologies or to adapt or modify our existing products and technologies, including through independent research and development, acquisitions and joint ventures or other arrangements. These expenditures could divert our attention and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures will ultimately lead to the timely development of new products and technologies or identification of and expansion into new markets. Due to the design complexity of our products, we may, in the future, experience delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market for our products will develop or continue to expand or that we will be successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate. The failure of our products and technologies to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not develop competing products and technologies that gain market acceptance in advance of our products. Additionally, the possibility exists that our competitors might develop new technology or products that might cause our existing technology and products to become obsolete. If we fail in our new product development efforts or if our products fail to achieve market acceptance more rapidly as compared to our competitors, our ability to procure new contracts could be negatively impacted, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

***Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.***

The threats to network and data security are increasingly diverse and sophisticated. Despite our efforts and processes to prevent breaches, our devices, as well as our servers, computer systems, and those of third parties that we use in our operations are vulnerable to cybersecurity risks. These risks include cyber-attacks such as viruses and worms, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, physical or electronic break-ins, employee theft or misuse, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our servers and computer systems or those of third parties that we use in our operations. The occurrence of any of these events could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data, unauthorized access to user data, and loss of consumer confidence. In addition, we may be the target of email scams that attempt to acquire personal information or company assets. Despite our efforts to create security barriers to such threats, we may not be able to entirely mitigate these risks. Any cyber-attack that attempts to obtain our data and assets, disrupt our service, or otherwise access our systems, or those of third parties we use, if successful, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. A cyber attack would be expensive to remedy and could damage our reputation. In addition, any such breaches may result in negative publicity, adversely affect our brand, decrease demand for our products and services, and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We expect that an increasing percentage of our revenues will come from the U.S. government and its agencies. As a result, we may face various cyber and other security threats, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and networks; insider threats; threats to the safety of our directors, officers and employees; threats to the security and viability of our facilities, infrastructure and supply chain; and threats from terrorist acts or other acts of aggression. Our customers and partners (including our supply chain and joint ventures) face similar threats and growing requirements. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate the risk of these threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient. The occurrence of some of these risks may be increased to the extent remote working by our employees, suppliers, contractors and other third parties continues. Such an incident could lead to losses or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information or capabilities; theft or exposure of data; harm to personnel, infrastructure or products; regulatory actions; and/or financial liabilities, as well as potential damage to our reputation as a government contractor and provider of cyber-related or cyber-protected goods and services.

We provide systems, products and services to various customers (both government and commercial) who also face cyber threats. Our systems, products and services may themselves be subject to cyber threats and/or they may not be able to detect or properly deter threats, or effectively to mitigate resulting losses. These losses could adversely affect our customers and our Company.

The impact of these various factors is difficult to predict, but one or more of them could result in the loss of information or capabilities, harm to individuals or property, damage to our reputation, loss of business, contractual or regulatory actions and potential liabilities, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

***U.S. government contracts are generally not fully funded at inception and may include provisions that are not favorable to us which could adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations.***

U.S. government contracts often have long lead times for design and development and can be subject to significant changes in delivery timelines. Congress normally appropriates funds on its fiscal year basis, and it may not fully fund a program in the same fiscal year. Depending upon the results of political elections, the actions of Congress can change from one fiscal year to the next. As a result, we may be required to expend funds to fulfill existing orders, but subsequently have the delivery timeline extended or the order cancelled. Such results would have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

***Many of our contracts contain performance obligations that require innovative design capabilities, are technologically complex, require state-of-the-art manufacturing expertise, or are dependent upon factors not wholly within our control. Failure to meet these obligations could adversely affect our revenue.***

We design, develop, and manufacture technologically advanced and innovative products, which are applied by our customers in a variety of environments. Problems and delays in development or delivery as a result of issues with respect to design, technology, licensing and intellectual property rights, labor, manufacturing materials or components could prevent us from meeting requirements. Either we or the customer may generally terminate a contract as a result of a material uncured breach by the other. If we breach a contract or fail to perform in accordance with contractual service levels,

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

delivery schedules, performance specifications, or other contractual requirements set forth therein, the other party thereto may terminate such contract for default, and we may be required to refund money previously paid to us by the customer or to pay penalties or other damages. Even if we have not breached, we may deal with various situations from time to time that may result in the amendment or termination of a contract. These steps can result in significant current period charges and/or reductions in current or future revenue, and/or delays in collection of outstanding receivables and costs incurred on the contract. Other factors that may affect revenue and profitability include inaccurate cost estimates, design issues, unforeseen costs and expenses not covered by insurance or indemnification from the customer, diversion of management focus in responding to unforeseen problems, and loss of follow-on work.

***The U.S. Government provides a significant portion of our revenue, and our business could be adversely affected by changes in the fiscal policies of the U.S. Government and other governmental entities.***

In fiscal year 2025, we generated approximately 73% of our total revenues from contracts with the U.S. Government. We expect to continue to derive most of our revenues from work performed under U.S. Government contracts.

Recent restrictions on the importation of drones and related components from China and other countries have contributed to our growth in the industry, as these restrictions have increased demand for domestically produced products and services. However, future changes to such policies, or the reversal of current restrictions, could adversely impact our competitive position and growth prospects. Additionally, pressures on and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Government's budget and potential changes in budgetary priorities could adversely affect our revenue, financial condition, and results of operations. It is possible restrictions on U.S. Government spending may continue to affect the payment of Government contracts. This could lead to reduced or delayed awards on some of our programs, with a related negative impact to our revenues, earnings and cash flows. Additionally, competitor bid protests also have become more prevalent in the current competitive environment, which has led to further contract award delays. In addition, any future changes to the fiscal policies of the U.S. Government and foreign governmental entities may decrease overall government funding for defense and homeland security, result in delays in the procurement of our products and services due to lack of funding, cause the U.S. Government and government agencies to reduce their purchases under existing contracts, or cause them to exercise their rights to terminate contracts at-will or to abstain from exercising options to renew contracts, any of which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

***Government contracts differ materially from standard commercial contracts, involve competitive bidding and may be subject to cancellation or delay without penalty.***

Government contracts frequently include provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions and are subject to laws and regulations that give the U.S. Government rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts, including provisions permitting the U.S. Government to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;terminate our existing contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reduce potential future income from our existing contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;modify some of the terms and conditions in our existing contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;suspend or permanently prohibit us from doing business with the U.S. Government or with any specific government agency;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;impose fines and penalties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;subject us to criminal prosecution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;suspend work under existing multiple year contracts and related task orders if the necessary funds are not appropriated by Congress;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;decline to exercise an option to extend an existing multiple year contract; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;claim rights in technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by us.

In addition, government contracts are frequently awarded only after formal competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that necessary funds are unavailable to the government agency. Competitive procurements impose substantial costs and managerial time and effort in order to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us. In many cases, unsuccessful bidders for government contracts are provided the opportunity to formally protest certain contract awards through various agencies, administrative and judicial channels. We have experienced an increase in competitor bid protests on contracts on which we were the successful bidder due to the competitive environment resulting from decreased government spending. In addition, we have formally protested procurement awards in which we were not the initial successful bidder, but believed that the source selection process was flawed. The protest process may substantially delay a successful bidder's contract

performance, result in cancellation of the contract award entirely and distract management. Moreover, even when we are awarded a government contract, we may not realize anticipated revenues from that contract, if at all, due to delays, lack of funding, failure to receive task orders, unexercised options, reductions in scope or other factors limiting our ability to monetize the award. We may not be awarded contracts for which we bid, and substantial delays or cancellation of purchases may follow our successful bids as a result of such protests. We believe that this environment of protracted competitive bidding processes and competitor bid protests will continue.

***Significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and U.S. Government funding more broadly may negatively impact our business and programs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.***

U.S. Government programs are subject to annual congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes. For many programs, Congress appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though the program performance period may extend over several years. Consequently, programs are often partially funded initially and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. If we incur costs in excess of funds obligated on a contract, we may be at risk for reimbursement of those costs unless and until additional funds are obligated to the contract. We cannot predict the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be included, increased or reduced as part of the annual budget process ultimately approved by Congress and the President or in separate supplemental appropriations or continuing resolutions, as applicable. Laws and plans adopted by the U.S. Government relating to, along with pressures on and uncertainty surrounding the federal budget, potential changes in priorities and defense spending levels, sequestration, the appropriations process, use of continuing resolutions (with restrictions, e.g., on new starts) and the permissible federal debt limit, could adversely affect the funding for individual programs and delay purchasing or payment decisions by our customers. In the event government funding for our significant programs becomes unavailable, or is reduced or delayed, or planned orders are reduced, our contract or subcontract under such programs may be terminated or adjusted by the U.S. Government or the prime contractor.

The federal budget and debt ceiling are expected to continue to be the subject of considerable debate, which could have a significant impact on defense spending broadly and our programs in particular.

The budget environment, including budget caps mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the "BCA") for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, which was reinstituted with established budget caps for 2024 and 2025 under The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, and uncertainty surrounding the debt ceiling and the appropriations process, remain significant short and long-term risks for the Company. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will unfold, including the defense spending priorities of the current administration and Congress, what challenges budget reductions (required by the BCA and otherwise) will present for the defense industry and whether annual appropriations bills for all agencies will be enacted in a timely manner. If annual appropriations bills are not timely enacted, the U.S. Government may again operate under a continuing resolution, restricting new contract or program starts, presenting resource allocation challenges and placing limitations on some planned program budgets, and we may face additional government shutdowns of unknown duration. If a prolonged government shutdown of the United States Department of Defense (the "DoD") were to occur, it could result in program cancellations, disruptions and/or stop work orders and could limit the U.S. Government's ability to effectively progress programs and to make timely payments, and our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts and successfully compete for new work. It is likely budget and program decisions made in this environment will have long-term implications for us and the entire defense industry. The government shutdown, between October 1, and November 12, 2025, was the longest in history and paused payment under government contracts for 43 days. We did not receive payment under our contracts with the DoD or other government agencies and were precluded from seeking new contracts or grants during this time. The consequences of the shutdown on our business were far reaching, and subsequent government shutdowns would likely have a similar material adverse effect.

Additionally, funding for certain programs in which we participate may be reduced, delayed or cancelled, and budget cuts globally could adversely affect the viability of our subcontractors and suppliers, and our employee base. While we believe that our business is well-positioned in areas that the DoD and other customers have indicated are areas of focus for future defense spending, the long-term impact of the BCA, other defense spending cuts, challenges in the appropriations process, the debt ceiling and the ongoing fiscal debates remain uncertain.

***We are subject to extensive government regulation and our failure to comply with these regulations could subject us to penalties that may adversely impact our ability to operate our business.***

As a vendor to the U.S. government and other state and local agencies, we are subject to and must comply with numerous government regulations which impact how we operate our business. These regulations could adversely affect our revenues, operating costs and profit margins. Some of the regulations to which we are subject, and the federal agencies which administer these regulations, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Federal Aviation Administration, which regulates the use of airspace for all aircraft, including UAS such as drones

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Truthful Cost or Pricing Data (formerly Truth in Negotiations Act), which requires certification and disclosure of all factual pricing and cost data in contract negotiations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Federal Acquisition Regulations, which govern the formation and administration, as well as the performance, under government contracts

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The False Statements Act and The False Claims Act which imposes penalties on payments made on the basis of facts provided to the government

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Federal Communications Commission which regulates the wireless spectrum upon which drones depend for data transmission

It is expensive and time consuming to comply with the regulations and requirements of these federal government agencies. The costs incurred to maintain compliance will adversely impact our operating costs and could delay our ability to operate profitably in the future, if at all.

***We are subject to the DoD CMMC requirement issued by the Pentagon which may limit our ability to bid and win projects. The cost for the DoD CMMC requirement may be significant.***

The Pentagon, on January 31, 2020, released the official version of its unified Cybersecurity standard that all contractors must meet by 2026. This standard, the CMMC, will apply to any company that does business with the DoD. CMMC will also apply to subcontractors as well as prime contractors. CMMC borrows heavily from the existing NIST Cybersecurity Framework and intends to rely heavily on a CMMC accrediting body up and running, companies will be able to apply for certification through a portal run by the accrediting body. The CMMC certification will be good for three years; with it, companies will be able to bid on contracts across the DoD and military services. In December 2020, the DoD disclosed the first seven contracts that are likely to be the initial test cases for the first "pathfinder" solicitations mandating CMMC. It is expected to take until 2026 to bring all contractors into compliance, since five years is the typical duration of a government contract. Contractors are required to flow the CMMC requirements down to all subcontracts except those for Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) items. Additionally, a contractor may not award a subcontract unless the subcontractor has a current assessment in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Because contractors only have access to their own information, contractors may need to rely on certifications from subcontractors for this requirement.

Under the CMMC 2.0 Model announced on July 17, 2021, there will be three levels of certification, Level 1 through Level 3, with contractors able to self-attest for Level 1. The new certification will not be required for existing contracts already signed, only on new contracts and potentially, to modification of existing contracts. CMMC 2.0 will allow for so-called plans of action and milestones, which will allow companies to document controls they are not fully implementing yet. The plans of action are required to state the means by which companies expect to reach full compliance, which are required to be completed within 180 days. Another change includes the requirement for senior company officials to self-certify and submit attestations of compliance. If there is a breach but a company certified its compliance with the security standards, a company could be open to False Claims Act lawsuits. The final change in the draft CMMC 2.0 requires cloud computing services used by the government contractor to be certified through the FedRAMP authorization process in accordance with DoD security requirements. Proposed final CMMC rules were issued by the DoD on December 26, 2023, with a public comment period that ended on February 26, 2024. The final rules were released October 15, 2024 and became effective on December 16, 2024. On November 10, 2025, the first phase of CMMC implementation began with an Organization Seeking Assessment conducted annually and results entered into the Supplier Performance Risk System. The next phase has been planned for November 10, 2026, which will require implementation of several additional Plans of Action and Milestones. We may be unable to bid on new contract awards or on follow-on awards for existing work, depending on the level of standard as required for each solicitation, which could adversely impact our revenues, operating margins and cash

------

flows. The cost to comply with the new CMMC requirement has been significant and may increase. Further, we may be negatively impacted by our subcontractors if they are not compliant with these requirements.

***If the drone industry does not experience significant growth, if we cannot expand our customer base or if our products do not achieve broad acceptance, or if the products we have developed or will develop do not become programs of record, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth.***

We cannot predict with certainty the future growth rate or size of the drone market. Demand for our products may not increase, or may decrease, either generally or in specific markets, for particular types of products or during particular time periods. There are only a limited number of programs under which the U.S. military, our primary customer, is currently funding the development or purchase of our products. Although we are seeking to expand our customer base to include foreign governments, domestic non-military agencies and commercial customers, we cannot assure that our efforts will be successful. The expansion of the drone market in general, and the market for our products in particular, depends on a number of factors, including the following:

 • customer satisfaction with these types of systems as solutions;

 • the cost, performance and reliability of our products and products offered by our competitors;

 • customer perceptions regarding the effectiveness and value of these types of systems;

 • limitations on our ability to market our products and services outside the U.S. due to U.S. government regulations or other restrictions; and;

 • marketing efforts and publicity regarding these types of systems.

Even if the type of products we produce gain wide market acceptance in general, our specific products may not adequately address market requirements or may not gain market acceptance. If these types of systems generally, or our products specifically, do not gain wide market acceptance, or if the products we have developed or will develop do not become programs of record, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our revenue and results of operations may suffer.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

***Our management has voting control of the Company***.

Jeffrey Thompson, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, owns approximately 11% of our common stock, and our current officers and directors currently own approximately 11% of our common stock. If they act together, they will be able to influence the outcome of most corporate actions requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions which may result in corporate actions that other stockholders do not agree with. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

***Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on the Company***.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish and maintain those controls could adversely impact public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed which may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls, or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

***Directors may authorize and issue shares of new classes of stock that could adversely affect current holders of our common stock.***

Our Board of Directors has the power to authorize and issue shares of classes of stock, including preferred stock that have voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations and special rights, including preferred distribution rights, conversion rights, redemption rights and liquidation rights without further stockholder approval. These powers could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, our board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing common stockholders.

Any of these actions could significantly adversely affect the investment made by holders of our common stock. In addition, holders of our common stock could receive less proceeds in connection with any future sale of the Company, in liquidation or on any other basis.

***Our shares will be subordinate to all of our debts and liabilities which increases the risk that investors could lose their entire investment.***

Our shares of common stock are equity interests that will be subordinate to all of our current and future indebtedness with respect to claims on our assets. In any liquidation, all of our debts and liabilities must be paid before any payment is made to our stockholders.

***The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell shares of our common stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.*** 

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse economic conditions, trade policies, political conditions, outbreaks of war (including the current conflicts in the Middle East), disasters, or regulatory or other policy changes in states or countries where we have a concentration of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in our financial results, revenues and expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quarterly and annual variations in our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the market's expectations about our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loss of revenues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the industries in which we operate in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• news reports relating to trends in our markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• material announcements by us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact or perceived impact of developments relating to our acquisitions, including the possible perception by securities analysts or investors that such acquisitions divert management attention from our core operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the U.S.-based credit markets;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in current U.S. or global economic conditions, including an extended slowdown in the markets in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a downgrade to our corporate credit rating, the credit ratings of our outstanding debt or other market speculation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general conditions in the industries in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our investments in geographic expansion and to increase our presence in existing markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cybersecurity attack or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security that may impact our operations or the operations of third parties that support us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to comply with non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur.

In recent years, the stock market, and in particular, our industry sector, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Such fluctuations, as well as general political conditions, the current economic conditions, or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This volatility frequently has occurred without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us, which could materially reduce our share price.

***Future capital raises may dilute our existing stockholders' ownership and adversely impact the fair value of their investment.***

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership may decrease, and these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt instruments, these debt instruments could impose significant restrictions on our operations including liens on our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us or could diminish the rights of our stockholders. Any of these developments could adversely impact our stock price.

***We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.*** 

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Therefore, any return to shareholders will be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.

***We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.*** 

Although our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange's minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. The Listing Rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the liquidity of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the market price of our common stock;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of investors that will consider investing in our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of market makers in our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock.

**Risks Related to Regulatory Matters**

***The drone industry is subject to various laws and government regulations which could complicate and delay our ability to introduce products, maintain compliance, and avoid violations which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.***

We operate in the drone industry which is a highly regulated environment in the US and international markets. Federal, state, and local governmental entities and foreign governments may regulate aspects of the industry, including the production or distribution of our products, software or services. These regulations may include accounting standards, taxation requirements, product safety, trade restrictions, environmental regulations, products directed toward children or hobbyists, and other administrative and regulatory restrictions. While we endeavor to take all the steps necessary to comply with these laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we can maintain compliance on a continuing basis. Failure to comply could result in monetary liabilities and other sanctions which could increase our costs or decrease our revenue resulting in a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our business and products are subject to government regulation, and we may incur additional compliance costs or be forced to suspend or cease operations if we fail to comply.***

We must comply with a wide variety of laws, regulations, standards and other requirements governing, among other things, electrical safety, wireless emissions, health and safety, e-commerce, consumer protection, export and import requirements, hazardous materials usage, product-related energy consumption, packaging, recycling and environmental matters. Compliance with these laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (including from country to country), further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business. Our products may require regulatory approvals or satisfaction of other regulatory concerns in the various jurisdictions in which they are manufactured, sold or both. These requirements create procurement and design challenges that require us to incur additional costs identifying suppliers and manufacturers who can obtain and produce compliant materials, parts and products. Failure to comply with such requirements can subject us to liability, additional costs, and reputational harm and, in extreme cases, force us to recall products or prevent us from selling our products in certain jurisdictions. If there is a new regulation, or change to an existing regulation that significantly increases our costs of manufacturing or causes us to significantly alter the way that we manufacture our products, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, while we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, and agents will not violate such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures.

Our products must comply with certain requirements of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulating electromagnetic radiation in order to be sold in the United States and with comparable requirements of the regulatory authorities of the European Union ("EU"), Japan, China and other jurisdictions. Our first-person view products include wireless radios and receivers which require additional emission testing. We are also subject to various environmental laws and governmental regulations related to toxic, volatile, and other hazardous chemicals used in the third-party components incorporated into our products, including the Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive (the "RoHS Directive") and the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (the "WEEE Directive"), as well as the implementing legislation of the EU member states. This directive restricts the distribution of products within the EU that exceed very low maximum concentration amounts of certain substances, including lead. Similar laws and regulations have been passed or are pending in China, Japan, and numerous countries around the world and may be enacted in other regions, including in the United States. We are, or may in the future be, subject to these laws and regulations.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

Our products may be subject to new domestic and international requirements. Compliance with regulations enacted in the future could substantially increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our business. Failure to comply with regulations in the future could result in the imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our operations or sales in the applicable jurisdictions. Any such failure to comply with regulations may also result in our not being permitted, or limit our ability, to ship our products which would adversely affect our revenue and ability to achieve or maintain profitability.

Although we encourage our contract manufacturers and major component suppliers to comply with the supply chain transparency requirements, such as the RoHS Directive, we cannot provide assurance that our manufacturers and suppliers consistently comply with these requirements. In addition, if there are changes to these or other laws or if new related laws are passed in other jurisdictions, we may be required to re-engineer our products to use components compatible with these regulations. This re-engineering and component substitution could result in additional costs or disrupt our operations or logistics.

The WEEE Directive requires electronic goods producers to be responsible for the collection, recycling and treatment of such products. Changes in interpretation of the directive may cause us to incur costs or have additional regulatory requirements to meet in the future in order to comply with this directive, or with any similar laws adopted in other jurisdictions. Our failure to comply with past, present, and future similar laws could result in reduced sales of our products, substantial product inventory write-offs, reputational damage, penalties and other sanctions which could harm our business and financial condition. We also expect that our products will be affected by new environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. To date, our expenditures for environmental compliance have not had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Although we cannot predict the future impact of such laws or regulations, they will likely result in additional costs and may require us to change the content of our products or how they are manufactured. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

***Our international operations, including the use of foreign contract manufacturers, subjects us to international operational, financial, legal, political and public health risks which could harm our operating results.***

A substantial part of our operations, including manufacturing of certain components used in our products, are outside of the United States and many of our customers and suppliers have some or all of their operations in countries other than the United States. Risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance burdens and costs associated with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations, particularly labor and environmental, that govern our operations in those countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal uncertainties regarding foreign taxes, tariffs, border taxes, quotas, and export controls,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export licenses, import controls and other trade barriers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• economic instability and high levels of inflation in certain countries where our suppliers are located and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• customers, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, causing delays or reductions in orders for their products and therefore our sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political or public health instability, including global pandemics, in the countries in which our suppliers operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes or volatility in currency exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer accounts receivable payment cycles; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any of these factors could harm our own, our suppliers' and our customers' international operations and businesses and impair our and/or their ability to continue expanding into international markets.

***We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions in which we operate.***

The global nature of our business creates various domestic and local regulatory challenges and subject us to risks associated with our international operations. We operate in areas of the world that experience corruption by government

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

officials to some degree and, in certain circumstances, compliance with anti-bribery and anticorruption laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Our global operations require us to import from several countries which geographically expands our compliance obligations. In addition, changes in such laws could result in increased regulatory requirements and compliance costs which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and similar anti-bribery and anticorruption laws in other jurisdictions prohibit U.S.-based companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to another, or securing an advantage. In addition, U.S. public companies are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent their transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Under the FCPA, U.S. companies may be held liable for the corrupt actions taken by directors, officers, employees, agents, or other strategic or local partners or representatives. As a result, if we or our intermediaries fail to comply with the requirements of the FCPA or similar legislation, governmental authorities in the United States and elsewhere could seek to impose substantial civil and/or criminal fines and penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, operating results and financial condition.

***We are subject to governmental export and import controls, and economic sanctions laws that could subject us to liability and impair our ability to compete in international markets.***

The U.S. and various foreign governments have imposed controls, export license requirements and restrictions on the import or export of some technologies. Our products are subject to U.S. export controls, including the Commerce Department's Export Administration Regulations and various economic and trade sanction regulations established by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Controls. Exports of our products must be made in compliance with these laws. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision of products and services to countries, governments, and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. Even though we take precautions to prevent our products from being provided to targets of U.S. sanctions, our products could be provided to those targets or provided by our customers despite such precautions. Any such provision could have negative consequences, including government investigations, penalties, and reputational harm. Our failure to obtain required import or export approval for our products could harm our international and domestic sales and adversely affect our revenue.

***Changes in trade policy in the United States and other countries may have adverse impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy through the renegotiation, and potential termination, of certain trade agreements and treaties with China, countries in EMEA and other countries. These changes could include the imposition of additional tariffs on a wide range of products. Policy changes in the United States or other countries, such as the tariffs already proposed, implemented, and threatened, present risks for us. Tariffs already announced and implemented are having an adverse effect on certain of our products, tariffs announced but not yet implemented may have an adverse effect on many of our products, and threatened tariffs could adversely affect more or all of our products. There are also risks associated with retaliatory tariffs and resulting trade wars. We cannot predict future trade policy, the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements or treaties, or tariffs and their impact on our business. A trade war could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States or other countries increase the price of, or limit the amount of, our products or components or materials used in our products imported into the United States or other countries, or create adverse tax consequences, the sales, cost or gross profit of our products may be adversely affected and the demand from our customers for products and services may be diminished. Uncertainty surrounding international trade policy and disputes and protectionist measures could also have an adverse effect on consumer confidence and spending. If we deem it necessary to alter all or a portion of our activities or operations in response to such policies, agreements or tariffs, our capital and operating costs may increase. Our ongoing efforts to address these risks may not be effective and may have long-term adverse effects on our operations and operating results that we may not be able to reverse. Such efforts may also take time to implement or to have an effect, and may result in adverse quarterly financial results or fluctuations in our quarterly financial results. As a result, changes in international trade policy, changes in trade agreements and tariffs could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We may collect, store, process and use the personal information of our customers which subjects us to governmental regulation related to privacy, information security and data protection. Any cybersecurity breaches or our failure to comply with such legal obligations by us, or by our third-party service providers or partners, could harm our business.***

We may collect, store, process and use the personally identifiable information of our customers and other data in our transactions with them. We also rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well. While we take reasonable measures to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the personal information and other sensitive information we collect, store or transmit, we cannot guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur, or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information. We have in place and will adopt additional policies to prohibit such activities; however, our third-party service providers or partners may engage in such activity without our knowledge or consent. If we or our third- party service providers were to experience a breach, disruption or failure of systems compromising our customers' data, or if one of our third-party service providers or partners were to access our customers' personal data without our authorization, our brand and reputation could be adversely affected, use of our products could decrease, and we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation and regulatory proceedings.

Regulatory scrutiny of privacy, data collection, use of data and data protection is intensifying globally, and the personal information and other data we collect, store, process and use is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, especially in Europe. These laws often develop in ways we cannot predict and may materially increase our cost of doing business, particularly as we expand the nature and types of products we offer.

Data protection legislation is becoming increasingly common in the United States at both the federal and state level. For example, in 2020, the State of California implemented the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA"). The CCPA requires companies that process information on California residents to make new disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, allows consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties and provides a new cause of action for data breaches. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. The burdens of compliance imposed by the CCPA (and other similar laws that may be enacted at the federal and state level) may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and/or to incur substantial expenditures.

**Risks Related to Intellectual Property**

***Our products could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.***

Companies in the electronics, wireless communications, semiconductor, IT, and display industries steadfastly pursue and protect intellectual property rights, often resulting in considerable and costly litigation to determine the validity of patents and claims by third parties of infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. Our products could be found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Other companies may hold or obtain patents or inventions or other proprietary rights in technology necessary for our business. Periodically, other companies inquire about our products and technology in their attempts to assess whether we violate their intellectual property rights. If we are forced to defend against infringement claims, we may face costly litigation, diversion of technical and management personnel, and product shipment delays, even if the allegations of infringement are unwarranted. If there is a successful claim of infringement against us and we are unable to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, or if we are required to cease using one or more of our business or product names due to a successful trademark infringement claim against us, it could adversely affect our business.

***Our intellectual property rights and proprietary rights may not adequately protect our products.***

Our commercial success will depend substantially on the ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property rights and maintain adequate legal protection for products in the United States and other countries. We will be able to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that these assets are covered by valid and enforceable patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights, or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. As of the date of this filing, we own 34 granted United States and foreign patents and 13 pending United States and foreign patent applications. The U.S. patents and patent applications include claims to, among other things, a drone, a printed circuit board, and head-mounted display technology. We apply for patents covering our products, services, technologies, and designs as we deem appropriate. We may fail to apply for patents on important products, services, technologies or designs in a timely fashion, or at all. We do not know whether any of our patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents. Even if patents are issued, they may not be sufficient to protect our products, services,

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

technologies, or designs. Our existing and future patents may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from developing competing products, services technologies, or designs. Intellectual property protection and patent rights outside of the United States are even less predictable. As a result, the validity and enforceability of patents cannot be predicted with certainty. Moreover, we cannot be certain whether:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we were the first to conceive, reduce to practice, invent, or file the inventions covered by each of our issued patents and pending patent applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• others will independently develop similar or alternative products, technologies, services or designs or duplicate any of our products, technologies, services or designs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages, or will be challenged by third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we will develop additional proprietary products, services, technologies or designs that are patentable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the patents of others will have an adverse effect on our business.

**ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS**

None.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY**

We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws. To mitigate the threat to our business, we take a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity risk management. The Company's Board of Directors as well as its Director of Information Technology, its General Counsel, and Chief Financial Officer are actively involved in the oversight of our risk management program, of which cybersecurity represents an important component. We have implemented, and are in the process of establishing policies, standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, managing, and mitigating material risks from cybersecurity threats.

**Risk Assessment and Management**

We rely on a multidisciplinary team, including our information security function, management, and third-party service providers to identify, assess, remediate and manage cybersecurity threats and risks. We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods including, for example, manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats and threat actors, conducting scans of the threat environment, utilizing internal and external audits, and conducting threat and vulnerability assessments.

At least annually, we review our security controls and address information security vulnerabilities, conduct security testing, and assess our external sources for their security risk (e.g., security incidents, data security, security controls, third parties, etc.). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment and prioritization of initiatives to enhance our security posture, improve security processes, and to manage a broader enterprise-level risk program that is presented to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, and members of management.

The Company maintains, and is in the process of establishing, various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards, and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats against our information systems and data. These include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incident detection and response

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vulnerability management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disaster recovery plans

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• internal controls within our accounting and financial reporting functions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• encryption of data

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• network security controls

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access controls

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• physical security

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asset management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• systems monitoring

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vendor risk management program

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee training.

Notwithstanding the approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Refer to Item 1A for a discussion of cybersecurity risks.

**Governance**

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management activities, and each of our Board committees assists the Board in the role of risk oversight. The full Board receives an update on the Company's risk management process and the risk trends related to cybersecurity at least annually. The Audit Committee specifically assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of risks related to cybersecurity.

**ITEM 2. PROPERTIES**

We lease all properties where our business is operated. We believe that these properties are adequate for the purposes for which they are used. All leases are with unaffiliated third parties. We believe that the loss of any lease would not have a material adverse effect on our operations, as we believe that we could identify and lease comparable facilities upon approximately equivalent terms. The Company has the following operating leases for real estate locations where it operates:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Location** | **Monthly Rent** | **Expiration** |

**Recent Developments**

***Change in Fiscal Year***

In September 2024, our Board of Directors approved a change in fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2024. In accordance with SEC regulations, our Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and our Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, eight months ended December 31, 2024, and year ended April 30, 2024. As a result, this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is comparing our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 with our results of operations for the eight month period ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended April 30, 2024.

***Capital Transactions***

In April 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 4,724,412 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $6.35 per share. The gross proceeds were approximately $30 million, before deducting the placement agents' fees and other offering expenses.

In June 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 6,448,276 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $7.25 per share. The gross proceeds were approximately $46.8 million, before deducting the placement agents' fees and other offering expenses.

In September 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with a certain institutional investor pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 15,625,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $9.60 per share. We also granted the underwriters a thirty day option to purchase up to an additional 2,343,750 shares of common stock at the public offering price, which the underwriters exercised in full at closing. The gross proceeds were approximately $172.5 million, before deducting the underwriters' fees and other offering expenses.

**Discussion and Analysis of Year Ended December 31, 2025 compared to Eight Month Transition Period Ended December 31, 2024 and Year Ended April 30, 2024**

Revenues

Consolidated revenues totaled $40.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 (or the "2025 Period") compared to $4.9 million during the eight months ended December 31, 2024 (or the "Transition Period") and compared to $17.8 million during the year ended April 30, 2024 (or the "2024 Period"). This represents an increase of $35.8 million, or 739% compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $22.9 million, or 128% compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods is attributable primarily to increased revenue associated with the commencement and scaling of drone deliveries to the U.S. Army under the SRR program.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit totaled $1.3 million during the 2025 Period compared to gross loss of $1.4 million during the Transition Period and gross profit of $3.7 million during the 2024 Period. This represents an increase of $2.7 million, or 195% compared to the Transition Period and a decrease of $2.4 million, or 65% compared to the 2024 Period. On a

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

percentage basis, gross profit was 3% during the 2025 Period compared to gross loss of 28% during the Transition Period and gross profit of 21% during the 2024 Period. Our manufacturing facility is currently operating below its designed production capacity. These lower production levels, combined with higher fixed overhead costs, have resulted in lower gross margins during the 2025 Period. As production volumes increase, we expect fixed overhead costs, including labor, to be allocated across a greater number of units, which is expected to reduce per-unit production costs and improve gross margins.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses totaled $17.9 million during the 2025 Period compared to $6.6 million during the Transition Period and $6.3 million during the 2024 period. This represents an increase of $11.3 million, or 171% compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $11.6 million, or 186% compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods was attributable primarily to increased investment in research and development activities, including engineering personnel costs, prototype development, testing, and other expenses associated with the development of new and enhanced drone platforms and related technologies.

Sales and marketing costs totaled $13.1 million during the 2025 Period compared to $6.3 million during the Transition Period and $5.1 million during the 2024 Period. This represents an increase of $6.8 million, or 107% compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $8.0 million, or 158% compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods was attributable primarily to higher payroll and related personnel costs associated with expanding our sales and marketing team to support increased business development and customer engagement activities.

General and administrative expenses totaled $36.9 million during the 2025 Period compared to $11.5 million during the Transition Period and $11.2 million during the 2024 Period. This represents an increase of $25.4 million, or 222% compared to the Transition Period and $25.7 million, or 229% compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods was attributable primarily to higher payroll and related personnel costs resulting from increased headcount, as well as higher stock-based compensation expense. These increases reflect the expansion of our corporate, administrative, and compliance functions to support growth during the 2025 Period.

Other Expense

Other expense totaled $5.0 million during the 2025 Period compared to $17.8 million during the Transition Period and $2.2 million during the 2024 Period. This represents a decrease of $12.8 million or 72% compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $2.8 million, or 126% compared to the 2024 Period. During the 2025 Period, other expense consisted primarily of a fair value adjustment on convertible notes payable of $11.4 million, partially offset by a gain on extinguishment of convertible notes payable of $3.2 million and net interest income of $2.7 million. During the Transition Period, other expense consisted primarily of a fair value adjustment on convertible note payable of $13.1 million and a loss on sale of equity method investment of $4.0 million. During the 2024 Period, other expense consisted primarily of impairment on equity method investment of $11.4 million, partially offset by a gain of $9.6 million related to the divestiture of the Consumer segment.

Net Loss

Net loss from continuing operations totaled $72.1 million during the 2025 Period compared to $43.6 million during the Transition Period and $21.5 million during the 2024 period. This represents a decrease of $28.5 million, or 65% compared to the Transition Period and a decrease of $50.6 million, or 235% compared to the 2024 Period.

**Cash Flows**

***Operating Activities***

Net cash used in operating activities was $89.1 million during the 2025 Period compared to $20.5 million during the Transition Period and $17.7 million during the 2024 Period. This represents an increase of $68.6 million compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $71.4 million compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods was attributable primarily to the increase in net loss during the 2025 period. Non-cash expenses totaled $20.5 million during the 2025 period, compared to $22.6 million during Transition Period and $8.5 million during the 2024 Period. Net cash used related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $37.6 million during the 2025 Period. Net cash provided by related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $0.4 million during the Transition Period. Net cash

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

used related to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $4.7 million during the 2024 Period. 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.

***Investing Activities***

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.6 million during the 2025 Period compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $4.2 million during the Transition Period and $13.6 million during the 2024 Period. During the 2025 Period, net cash used in investing activities consisted entirely of purchases of property and equipment totaling $6.6 million, compared to purchases of property and equipment of $0.2 million during the Transition Period and $0.3 million during the 2024 Period. During the Transition Period, net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds of $4.4 million from the sale of equity method investment and note receivable. During the 2024 Period, net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds of $12.8 million from the sale of marketable securities and $1.0 million from the divestiture of the consumer segment.

***Financing Activities***

Net cash provided by investing activities was $254.5 million during the 2025 Period compared to $19.4 million during the Transition Period, and $7.8 million during the 2024 Period. This represents an increase of $235.1 million compared to the Transition Period and an increase of $246.7 million compared to the 2024 Period. The increase compared to both periods relates to the proceeds from issuance of common stock during the 2025 Period.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

At December 31, 2025, the Company reported current assets totaling $226.9 million, current liabilities totaling $14.8 million and net working capital of $212.1 million. Cash totaled $167.9 million at December 31, 2025. Inventory related balances, including pre-paid inventory, totaled $30.4 million.

***Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates***

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 addition to our critical accounting estimates and polices below, refer to "Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.

**Revenue Recognition**

We recognize 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 transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v) recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied. We determined there to be judgment in the determination of performance obligations identified in certain contracts. Our revenue transactions include the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled, completion of non-recurring engineering, completion of training, and customer support services. We recognizes revenue upon shipment of product or prototypes unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

*Recently adopted accounting pronouncements*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 requiring enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes for inclusion of new disclosures required.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

*Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The amendments require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and may be applied retrospectively. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Red Cat Holdings, Inc.

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

*Basis for Opinion*

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Determination of performance obligations for certain revenue contracts

As discussed in Note 2, Revenue Recognition, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded $40.7 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, a portion of which relates to certain revenue contracts that contain multiple performance obligations. At contract inception, the Company assesses the products promised within each contract to determine the performance obligations that should be accounted for separately.

We identified the evaluation of the Company's determination of the performance obligations included in certain revenue contracts as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the application of relevant accounting guidance to determine the performance obligations because of the nature of the contracts.

The following is the primary procedure we performed to address this critical audit matter. For certain revenue contracts, we evaluated the Company's determination of performance obligations by comparing them to the underlying terms of the

contracts and evaluating whether the Company's accounting for the contracts is in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Red Cat Holdings, Inc.

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the eight months ended December 31, 2024, and for the year ended April 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the eight months ended December 31, 2024, and for the year ended April 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

*Basis for Opinion*

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Purchase Price Allocation / Valuation of Goodwill and Intangibles*

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of Flightwave Technologies, Inc. resulting in the recording of significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets.

We identified the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition as a critical audit matter due to the significant estimates and assumptions management used in determining the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired. The Company used the income approach to measure the customer backlog, customer relationships, developed technology, and trade name intangible assets, which involved significant management judgment with respect to forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins, royalty rates, discount rates, tax rates and the determination of useful lives. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased audit effort.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

Our audit procedures related to the Company's valuation of goodwill and intangible assets for the businesses acquired included the following, among others:

We evaluated the purchase price allocation performed by the third-party valuation specialist engaged by management. Our procedures included evaluating the professional qualifications and objectivity of the specialist, assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data provided to the specialist. We evaluated the reasonableness of key assumptions, including forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins, customer attrition rates, and discount rates by comparing them to relevant industry benchmarks, market data, and the Company's historical performance. Additionally, we assessed the consistency of these assumptions with the Company's strategic plans and other information obtained during our audit. We also performed sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate how changes would impact the fair value measurements of the acquired intangible assets and resulting goodwill. In addition, we evaluated the estimated useful life.

*Recoverability of Inventory*

The Company's inventories totaled approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2024. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company records an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical experience and anticipated future demand.

We identified the valuation of excess and obsolete inventory reserves as a critical audit matter because estimating the reserve involves significant management judgment about future product demand and market conditions. This required a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in evaluating the reasonableness of management's assumptions, including product life cycles, technological changes, and market acceptance of products.

Our audit procedures included evaluating management's methodology and key assumptions for inventory impairment assessment, testing underlying data for completeness and accuracy. We examined historical sales alongside forecasted demand, investigated alternative inventory uses, and assessed the impact of external market conditions. We obtained management's identification process for slow-moving and obsolete items and performed our own analysis. Based on these procedures, we concluded that management's inventory valuation estimates were reasonable within the context of the financial statements as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/s/ dbbmckennon,

We served as the Company's auditor from 2024 to 2025.

**RED CAT HOLDINGS, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Note 1 – The Business**

The Company was originally incorporated in February 1984. The Company is a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government and commercial operation. Since April 2016, the Company's primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry.

**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 in the United States ("GAAP").

**Principles of Consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries which include Teal, FlightWave (beginning on September 5, 2024), Skypersonic, and Blue Ops (beginning July 1, 2025). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark (collectively, the "Consumer segment") through the sale date of February 16, 2024. Non-majority owned investments, including the formerly wholly owned subsidiaries Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, were accounted for using the equity method because the Company was 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.

**Segments** 

The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM evaluates the Company's financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of the resources, on a consolidated net income (loss) basis. The CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The Company's significant segment expenses are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company's significant segment expenses that are reviewed by our CODM on a regular basis to manage performance and allocate resources include cost of goods sold, research and development and sales and marketing.

**Use of Estimates** 

The preparation of consolidated 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. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets including identifiable intangibles and goodwill, inventory reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and liabilities, warranty liabilities, convertible notes payable, and stock based-compensation.

**Cash**

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had cash of $167.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced any loss on these cash balances and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

**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

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

customer base, 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. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.5 million and $— million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Customer A | 88% | \* |
| Customer B | \* | 36% |
| Customer C | \* | 17% |
| Customer D | \* | 15% |

---

\*Accounts Receivable was less than 10%

For the year ended December 31, 2025, one customer accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 73%. For the eight months ended December 31, 2024, three customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 19%, 19% and 11%, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2024, three customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 28%, 23% and 10%, respectively.

**Inventories**

Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor, indirect overhead, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventory using various reference measures including current product selling prices and recent customer demand, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and obsolescence.

**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. The Company tests 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, the Company utilizes 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,

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

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. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, by comparing its carrying value to the reporting unit's fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the eight months ended December 31, 2024, and year ended April 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize any impairment of goodwill. There were no accumulated impairment losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Goodwill for Teal and FlightWave is ascribed to existing relationships with several U.S. government agencies including classification as approved vendors. The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.

Property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is not recoverable, its carrying amount would be adjusted down to its fair value.

**Property and equipment** 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally: (i) furniture and fixtures - seven years, (ii) equipment and related - two to five years, and (iii) leasehold improvements – nine to fifteen years.

**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 $11.4 million for the year ended April 30, 2024. See Note 7 for additional information.

**Leases** 

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. 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 calculates an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments when calculating its incremental borrowing rates. 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 (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

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

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, short-term debt obligations, 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 consisted 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.

*Convertible Notes Payable*

The Company elected the fair value option for its convertible notes payable and measures 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 for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 approach 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 using the following assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year ended <br>December 31, 2025** | **Eight months ended <br>December 31, 2024** |
| Issuance date | 2/10/2025 | 10/1/2024 - 11/26/2024 |
| Maturity date | 5/10/2026 | 10/1/2026 - 11/26/2026 |
| Stock price | 7.42 – 10.47 | 3.06 – 11.03 |
| Expected volatility factor | 115.7 – 128.7% | 92.8 – 103.2% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.57 - 3.70% | 4.21 - 5.21% |

*Warrants*

The fair value of the warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2025 and during the eight months ended December 31, 2024 were 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 year ended December 31, 2025 and for the eight months ended December 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. The warrants are equity classified.

**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 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 the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled, completion of non-recurring engineering, completion of training, and customer support services. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product or prototypes unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract. Customer deposits totaled $0.3 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company expects all customer deposits as of December 31, 2025 to be recognized as revenue during the year ending December 31, 2025.

**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, materials, and a proportionate share of overhead costs such as rent.

**Product Warranty** 

The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both current and historical product sales data and warranty costs incurred. Product warranty reserves are recorded in current liabilities under accrued expenses. Warranty liability was approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

**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.

**Comprehensive Loss** 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and comprehensive loss. Comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity but are excluded from net loss. Our comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss. During the eight months ended December 31, 2024, comprehensive loss was $5 thousand higher than net loss, related to foreign currency translation adjustments. During the year ended April 30, 2024, comprehensive loss was $0.9 million lower than net loss, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $0.9 million, offset by foreign currency translation adjustments of $2 thousand.

**Stock-Based Compensation** 

Stock options are valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock is based on our stock price on the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period which is the vesting term. For awards subject to performance vesting conditions, expense is recognized for the awards if it is probable the performance conditions will be met.

**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 conversion or exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future. The two-class method is not used because

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

the Series B Preferred Stock does not participate in losses. As such, the net loss was attributed entirely to common stockholders. Outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive include (in thousands):

**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 or are direct relatives of key management personnel of members of the Board of Directors. Related Party transactions are disclosed in Note 18.

**Liquidity and Going Concern** 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company significantly strengthened its liquidity position through multiple equity financings. In April 2025, June 2025, and September 2025, the Company completed financings with gross proceeds of approximately $30.0 million, $46.8 million, and $172.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, working capital totaled $212.1 million.

As a result of these capital raises, the Company materially increased its working capital position and improved its capacity to meet expected operating and capital requirements. Management has concluded that the Company has sufficient financial resources for at least the next twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

*Recently adopted accounting pronouncements*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 requiring enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes for inclusion of new disclosures required.

*Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The amendments require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and may be applied retrospectively. While the Company is still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, the Company anticipates this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**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 $14.0 million worth of shares of the Company's common stock, and as such, the asset purchase will be treated as a business combination. The purchase price is payable as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7.0 million worth of the Company's common stock issued on September 30, 2024, totaling 2,544,991 shares, equal to the VWAP on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7.0 million worth of the Company's common stock issued on December 31, 2024, totaling 819,830 shares, equal to the VWAP on such date.

Goodwill for FlightWave is ascribed to existing relationships with several U.S. government agencies including classification as approved vendors. 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 summary of the purchase price and its related allocation at fair market value is as follows (in thousands):

**Note 4 – Divestiture of Consumer Segment**

On February 16, 2024, the Company closed the sale of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark to Unusual Machines.

**Note 12 – Convertible Notes Payable**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.September 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement**

In September 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "September 2024 SPA") with Lind Global Asset Management X LLC ("Lind X"). Under the September 2024 SPA, the Company received approximately $8.0 million in funding from Lind X in exchange for a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $9.6 million (the "September 2024 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 five years (the "September 2024 Warrant"). The September 2024 Note was secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As additional consideration to Lind X, the Company paid a commitment fee in the amount of $0.3 million. The September 2024 Note, which did not accrue interest, would have been repaid in eighteen consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $0.5 million beginning six months from the issuance date. At the Company's option, monthly payments could have been increased up to $1.0 million so long as the Company's market capitalization was at least $50.0 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) was equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind X could have at its option, increased the monthly payment amount up to $1.3 million for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the September 2024 Note could have been 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 was defined in the September 2024 Note as ninety percent of the average of the five consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share. The fair value of the convertible note and related warrants were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. No value was assigned to the warrant due to the fair market value of the convertible note payable being in excess of the proceeds received. In December 2024, Lind X converted the entire $9.6 million note payable into 1,476,923 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.50 per share.

Amendment: In November 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the "November 2024 SPA Amendment") to the September 2024 SPA with Lind X. The November 2024 SPA Amendment amends the terms of the September 2024 SPA with Lind X. Upon closing of the November 2024 SPA Amendment, the Company received approximately $6.0 million in funding from Lind X in exchange for issuance of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $7.2 million (the "November 2024 Note") and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 326,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $9.20 per share, exercisable for five years (the "November 2024 Warrant"). As additional consideration to Lind X, the Company paid a commitment fee in the amount of $0.2 million. The November 2024 Note, which did not accrue interest, would have been repaid in eighteen consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $0.4 million beginning six months from the issuance date. At the Company's option, monthly payments could have been increased up to $0.8 million so long as our market capitalization was at least $50.0 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price was equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind X could have at its option, increased the monthly payment amount up to $1.0 million for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the November 2024 Note could have been 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 was defined in the November 2024 Note as ninety percent of the average of the five consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share. The fair value of the convertible note and related warrants were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. No value was assigned to the warrant due to the fair market value of the convertible note payable being in excess of the proceeds received. In December 2024, Lind X converted the entire $7.2 million note payable into 782,607 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $9.20 per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement**

In February 2025, the Company entered into another Securities Purchase Agreement (the "February 2025 SPA") with Lind Global Asset Management XI LLC ("Lind XI," and together with Lind X, "Lind"). Under the February 2025 SPA, the Company received approximately $15.0 million in funding from Lind XI in exchange for a Senior Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $16.5 million (the "February 2025 Note") and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $15.00 per share, exercisable for five years (the "February 2025 Warrant"). The February 2025 Note is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As additional consideration to Lind XI, the Company paid a commitment fee in the amount of $0.5 million.

Terms: The February 2025 Note's terms include, (i) the balance of the February 2025 Note was due and payable on February 10, 2026; (ii) the amount due under the February 2025 Note was convertible by Lind XI from time to time at a price equal to the lower of "Conversion Price" of $16.15 per share, or the "Repayment Share Price," which is defined as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) lowest daily VWAPs for the Company's common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion date, subject to a floor price; (iii) conversions under the February 2025 Note are limited to a maximum of $1.7 million in any calendar month, subject to increase upon our optional written consent; and (iv) upon receipt of a conversion notice under the February 2025 Note, the Company could, if the applicable Repayment Share Price is below the Conversion Price, elect to pay the conversion amount, plus a 2.50% premium, in cash and in lieu of issuing common stock. In the event the Company issues or sells additional shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is less than the conversion price of the February 2025 Note as amended, the conversion price upon each such issuance will be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for additional shares of common stock. Additionally, in the event the Company issues or sells additional shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price of the February 2025 Warrant as amended, the exercise price upon each such issuance will be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for additional shares of common stock.

Amendment 1: In April 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the "April 9, 2025 Amendment") to the terms of the February 2025 Note and February 2025 Warrant. The February 2025 Note and the February 2025 SPA contained certain covenants, including: (i) in the event of new issuances of the Company's common stock at a price less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to the price paid for the newly issued shares of common stock (the "Price Reset Provision"); (ii) in the event the Company issues new securities in exchange for gross proceeds of greater than $15.0 million, the Company is required to pay the lower of 20% of the proceeds of such offering, or 20% of the balance of the February 2025 Note, toward repayment of the February 2025 Note (the "Offering Proceeds Provision"); and (iii) in the event the Company undertakes a new offering of securities, Lind XI has the right to purchase up to 20% of the securities issued in the new offering (the "Participation Rights"). The Warrant contained provisions that would adjust the exercise price of the Warrant in certain circumstances, including if the Company issued new securities at a price less than the then-current exercise price.

Under the April 9, 2025 Amendment, and in exchange for a waiver of Price Reset Provision and certain other covenants in connection with the proposed April Registered Direct Offering (as defined below), the terms of the February 2025 Note, Warrant and the SPA were amended. The balance of the February 2025 Note was increased to $18.2 million. The Conversion Price of the February 2025 Note was lowered to $9.52 per share. The exercise price for the Warrant was lowered to $7.62 per share. The maturity date of the February 2025 Note was extended to May 10, 2026. Upon receipt of a conversion notice under the February 2025 Note, we could, if the applicable Repayment Share Price was below the Conversion Price, elect to pay up to 50% of the conversion amount, plus a 2.5% premium, in cash and in lieu of issuing common stock. The Price Reset Provision, the Offering Proceeds Provision, and the Participation Rights were waived for a limited time, until April 17, 2025. The Company accounted for this amendment as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss of $4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Amendment 2: In April 2025, the Company entered into a (i) Second Amendment to the February 2025 Note and February 2025 Warrant; (ii) First Amendment to the November 2024 Warrant and (iii) First Amendment to the February 2025 SPA (collectively, the "Agreement"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and Lind amended each of the February 2025 Note, the February 2025 Warrant and the November 2024 Warrant to include a cap on the amount of shares issuable upon conversion and/or exercise of each aforementioned security such that the shares issuable under each of them shall not exceed the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock which may be issued by the Company in the absence of stockholder approval as provided by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). In addition, Section 5.13 of the February 2025 SPA was amended to extend the deadline to obtain Stockholder Approval (as defined in the February 2025 SPA) to June 30, 2025. In addition, certain stockholders of the Company entered into support agreements under which they agreed to vote in favor of the matter presented to the Company's stockholders for the Stockholder Approval.

Amendment 3: On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Issued February 10, 2025 with Lind XI and Second Amendment to Warrant Issued November 26, 2024 between the Company and Lind X (collectively, the "June 17, 2025 Amendment"). Under the terms of the June 17, 2025 Amendment, and in exchange for Lind waiving its right to purchase up to twenty percent of the securities issued in an equity financing, the Company and Lind amended the February 2025 Note, November 2024 Warrant, and the February 2025 Warrant to (1) exempt any adjustments from the offering contemplated at that time to the conversion price of the February 2025 Note and exercise price of the November 2024 Warrant and February 2025 Warrant; (2) remove the Company's election to pay, in certain circumstances, up to fifty percent of the conversion amount under the February 2025 Note in cash; and (3) remove the Company's right to prepay the February 2025 Note.

The fair value of the convertible note and related warrants were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. No value was assigned to the warrant due to the fair market value of the convertible note payable being in excess of the proceeds received. See Note 2 for further information. The Company's convertible notes payable balance at December 31, 2025 was $4.5 million.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $42.2 million at December 31, 2025 to reduce its deferred tax assets.

The Company annually conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025. The Company is currently not under audit in any jurisdictions. The 2021 through 2024 tax years are open to examination by the various federal and state jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

None.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of December 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of the material weakness discussed below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

<u>Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u>

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Company's management, with participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and under the oversight of our Board of Directors, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in "Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

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 of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified material weaknesses due to an insufficient number of resources that resulted in inadequate levels of supervision and review and segregation of duties.

The control deficiencies did not result in any material misstatements. However, the control deficiencies described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded that the deficiencies represent material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

As a smaller reporting company and non-accelerated filer, we are not required to provide an auditor attestation on our internal control over financial reporting.

<u>Management's Remediation Plans</u>

The above material weaknesses existed in prior year, and management has made progress towards their remediation as follows:

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i5e5e4fbbfba74119bd8ada4831aef37d_7)</u>**

We have hired additional qualified personnel to establish more robust processes, perform effective risk assessment, and design and implement process-level controls to mitigate identified risks. We have enhanced the level of supervision and review and segregation of duties, formalized accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures manuals, and designed and implemented additional process-level controls, including those over complex transactions.

We believe the above actions will be effective in remediating the material weaknesses described above. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

<u>Changes In Controls Over Financial Reporting</u>

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

**ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION**

During the fourth quarter of 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act), adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (each as such term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

**ITEM 9C. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS**

<u>Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management</u>

The following table lists, as of March 17, 2026, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by (i) each person, entity or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each of our directors; (iii) each of our Named Executive Officers; and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information relating to the beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using the "beneficial ownership" concepts of the rules of the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person directly or indirectly has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the SEC rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned and each stockholder's address is c/o Red Cat Holdings, Inc., 2800 S West Temple, Suite 5, South Salt Lake, UT 84115.

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to our definitive proxy statement filed in connection with our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or an amendment to this Annual Report to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after the close of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

## Exhibit 19.1

**RED CAT HOLDINGS, INC. INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

*Effective March 12, 2026*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Purpose and Policy Overview**

This Insider Trading Policy ("Policy") is designed to promote compliance with federal and state securities laws, including Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It applies to all directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, and certain affiliates of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the" Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") who may have access to material nonpublic information about the Company or other entities with which it does business.

The unauthorized use or disclosure of material nonpublic information often referred to as "inside information"-to trade in securities or to advise others (i.e., "tipping") is strictly prohibited and may result in serious criminal, civil, and corporate penalties.

This Policy applies to any transaction, including gifts, involving the Company's securities, including:

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Common and preferred stock;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Options, warrants, restricted stock units (RSUs), and convertible securities;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivatives and swaps related to Company stock;

This Policy also applies to any transaction involving securities of other entities where insider knowledge was obtained through the course of Company duties. The Company's securities and securities of other entities to which this Policy applies are referred to herein collectively as "Covered Securities."

For purposes of this Policy, an 'Insider' includes all directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, an entity controlled by an Insider, and any other person who has access to or is entrusted with material nonpublic information by virtue of their position, role, or relationship with the Company, regardless of whether they are aware of such information at a given time. While family members and other member's of an Insider's household are not expressly subject to this Policy, Insiders are: (a) prohibited from tipping material nonpublic information to such persons (among other persons); (b) prohibited from trading or directing any accounts in which they have an interest in violation of this Policy; (c) responsible for the transactions of their family members and other member's of their household; and (d) responsible to ensure that the purchases and sales of their family members and other member's of their household comply with this Policy and are not made while in possession of material nonpublic information. In addition, with regard to Insiders who have terminated their position with the Company: (i) for Insiders in possession of material nonpublic information at thetime of their termination, this Policy applies until such information becomes public or non-material; and (ii) for Insiders who terminate their position with the Company during a Blackout Period, this policy applies until the end of the Blackout Period.

Information is considered "material" if a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell, or hold any Covered Securities. Any information that could be expected to affect the market price of Covered Securities, whether such information is positive or negative, should be considered material. Examples may include:

------

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial results and projections not yet public;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Merger, acquisition or disposition activity;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Major new contracts or loss of significant customers;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Changes in executive leadership;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity or debt financings;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Product launches, defects, or recalls;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulatory actions, investigations or litigation developments;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock splits or dividend changes.

Information is 'nonpublic' until it has been widely disseminated through press releases, SEC filings, or other public disclosures and a reasonable amount of time(typically two full trading days) has passed. Determining materiality is not always clear-cut. If there is any doubt, individuals should seek guidance from the Company's General Counsel (referred to herein as the Company's "Insider Trading Compliance Officer"), before proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Prohibited Activities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Trading While Aware of Material Nonpublic Information**

No Insider may trade in Covered Securities while in possession of material nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Tipping**

No Insider may disclose material nonpublic information to others who may trade based on that information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Short Sales and Derivative Transactions**

Short sales of Covered Securities are strictly prohibited. Additionally, Insiders may not engage in transactions in put or call options or other derivatives of the Company's securities unless part of a pre-approved 10b5-l trading plan.

**Hedging and Pledging**

Insiders who hedge or pledge their economic exposure to Covered Securities, enter into put or call options of other derivative transactions with respect to Covered Securities, or pledge Covered Securities as collateral for a personal transaction must inform the Insider Trading Compliance Officer of their activity and comply with all Section 16 reporting requirements associated with that activity, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, such transactions by Designated Insiders are subject to the Pre Clearance Requirement in Section III of this Policy...

To prevent even the appearance of improper trading, the Company requires that all Insiders refrain from buying or selling the Company's securities during the Blackout Periods established below

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quarterly Blackout Periods: Begin at the close of trading on the last day of each fiscal quarter and end at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the second full trading day following the Company's public release of financial results.

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Event-Specific Blackouts: May be implemented when material developments are pending and undisclosed. The Company reserves the right to institute additional blackout periods at the discretion of the CFO, General Counsel, or CEO when material developments have not yet been publicly disclosed.

------

The prohibition against trading during blackout periods also applies to the automatic execution of limit orders unless executed pursuant toa compliant Rule 10b5-**l** trading plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**III.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pre-Clearance Requirement**

All transactions by directors, executive officers, and other designated individuals ("Designated Insiders")must be pre-cleared in writing by the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer. This includes the adoption, modification, or termination of any l 0b5-1 Plan and any transaction or transfer involving the Company's securities, including a stock plan transactions such as an option exercise, or a gift, transfer to a trust or any other transfer. All transactions by Insiders relying on an exception as set forth below in "IV. Exceptions to Trading Restrictions" must be pre-cleared in writing by the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer.

Each Insider (Including Designated Insiders) seeking pre-clearance should contact the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer at least two (2) business days prior to commencing any trade in the Company's securities. Although the Insider Trading Compliance Officer will endeavor to clear transactions as quickly as possible, under certain circumstances the clearance procedure may take more than two (2) business days.

The Insider Trading Compliance Officer will complete a pre-clearance checklist in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Policy, and where appropriate will give written permission for the transaction in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Policy. The written permission will expire at the end of the second trading day following the date of written permission or the beginning of the next Blackout Period, whichever is earlier. Accordingly, Insiders should not request permission to trade unless there is an intention to execute the trad immediately following receipt of written permission.

The Insider Trading Compliance Officer has sole discretion to decide whether to approve any contemplated transaction. The Insider Trading Compliance Officer should exercise this discretion mindful of the board purposes of this Policy and with due regard for principles of conservatism (meaning the close calls should be resolved in favor of declining approval). The Insider Trading Compliance Officer is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre clearance. None of the Company, the Insider Trading Compliance Officer or the Company's other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a request for preclearance in accordance with this Policy.

Preclearance hereunder is not a guarantee against investigation or prosecution by federal and state securities regulators, and preclearance hereunder is not legal advice given to any person, including but not limited to not being advice as to whether a trade may be in breach of violation of any of the person's other legal or contractual obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions that are executed under a pre-existing written plan, contract, instruction, or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 do not require preclearance provided however, that all Insiders, including Designated Insiders, must have their Rule 10b5-1 trading plans pre-approved by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer. Designated Insiders may adopt Rule **1**0b5-1 trading plans only during open trading windows and must include a representation that the individual is not in possession of material nonpublic information at the time of adoption.

Rule 10b5-1 trading plans for all Insiders must:

------

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Include a cooling off period of 90 days for Designated Insiders and 30 days for Insiders who are not Designated Insiders before the first trade.

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be submitted to the Company's counsel for review and approval prior to adoption;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not overlap with other 10b5-1plans for the same class of securities;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be entered into in good faith and not as part of a scheme to evade insider trading laws;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Give a third party the discretionary authority to execute such purchases and sales, outside the control of the Designated Insider, so long as such third party does not possess any material nonpublic information about the Company; or explicitly specifies the security or securities to be purchased or sold, the number of shares, the prices and / or dates of transactions, or other formula(s) describing such transactions; and

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be promptly provided to the Company upon request and retained as part of the Company's compliance records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**IV.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exceptions to Trading Restrictions**

The following transactions are generally permitted, subject to applicable law and pre-approval of the Insider Trading Compliance Officer (as and if indicated below):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercises of stock options (without a sale of shares);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vesting of Restricted Stock or Settlement of Performance Stock Units (without a sale of shares)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bona fide gifts if the gift has been pre-approved in writing by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer, which approval may depend, among other things, on the person making the gift having no reason to believe that the recipient intends to sell the gifted securities at a time during which the person making the gift would be restricted from selling securities, for example, while the person making the gift is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise not permitted to sell such securities by this Policy.);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases through an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) or 40l(k) plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Information known to both parties of a transaction (If all material information has been publicly disclosed or is known by both parties to the proposed transaction, provided however, that such a transaction should be pre-approved in writing by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer and this exception is only to be used in unusual circumstances and should not be assumed to be granted).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transactions under a Rule l0bS-1 plan (if the plan has been pre-approved in writing by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer – see above)

The Company takes compliance with this Policy seriously. Violations may result in:

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or contractual relationships.

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Civil liability, including potential monetary penalties under applicable securities laws;

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Criminal sanctions, which may include significant fines or imprisonment as provided by federal law.

Any enforcement action will be proportionate and will follow a thorough review of the circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**V.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compliance and Reporting**

------

Any questions regarding this Policy or reports of potential violations should be directed to the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible.

Insiders are cautioned that all obligations with regard to trading incompliance with federal and state securities laws and all related reporting obligations are those of the individual Insider, not the Company. The Company assumes no liability in regard to the trading and trade reporting activities of any individual insider, regardless of whether a trade is precleared or if preclearance is denied.

The Company may require Insiders to complete periodic training on insider trading rules and this Policy.

This Policy shall be reviewed and reapproved by the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee on an annual basis.

Signed acknowledgments will be retained by the Company's Legal or HR department for at least five years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**VI.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acknowledgment and Certification**

All employees, directors, officers, and covered parties must acknowledge receipt and understanding of this Policy and certify compliance annually.
