**FORM 10-Q**

**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

Nauticus Robotics, Inc. ("we," "our" or "us") is filing the Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to amend our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 14, 2022 (the "Original Filing"), to amend and restate our financial statements and related footnote disclosures as of September 30, 2022. This Amendment also amends certain other items in the Original Filing, as listed in "Items Amended In This Filing" below.

This Amendment to the Original Filing amends our classification of certain warrants that were previously recorded as equity. The SPA Warrants (defined below), according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") should have been classified as derivative warrant liabilities at fair value and marked to market at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The affected filing period is the quarterly unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2022.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, "Materiality," and FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 2 "Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information" indicate that quantifying and aggregating errors is only the beginning of an analysis of materiality and that both quantitative and qualitative factors must be considered in determining whether individual errors are material. The Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the impact was material for the period ended September 30, 2022. The assessment resulted in the amendment of the previously reported financial statements reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022.

The change in accounting for the warrants did not have any impact on our liquidity, cash flows, revenues or costs of operating in the affected periods.

**Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

After re-evaluation, the Company's management has concluded that in light of the errors described above, a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the affected periods and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company's remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail in Item 4 Part 1 of this filing.

**ITEMS AMENDED IN THIS FILING**

The following items have been amended as a result of this restatement:

**NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "continue," "could," "may," "might," "possible," "potential," "predict," "should," "would" and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of our management and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in "Risk Factors" in the Form 8-K filed by us on September 9, 2022 and the following:

● We are an early-stage company with a history of losses and expect to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future.

● A significant amount of our revenues is derived from a limited number of customers. A substantial portion of our current revenue is generated by sales to government entities, which are subject to a number of uncertainties, challenges, and risks.

● If we fail to effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to design, develop, manufacture, market, and launch new generations of our robotic systems successfully.

● Our operating and financial projections rely on management assumptions and analyses. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, our actual operating results may be materially different from our forecasted results.

● Our business plans require a significant amount of capital. Our future capital needs may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities that may dilute its stockholders or introduce covenants that may restrict our operations or ability to pay dividends.

● We will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

● We operate in a competitive industry that is subject to rapid technological change, and we expect competition to increase.

ii

● Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs, product demand and other factors.

● We have yet to achieve positive operating cash flow and, given our projected funding needs, our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain.

● Because we became a public reporting company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, our stockholders may face additional risks and uncertainties.

● The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

● Volatility in our share price could subject us to securities class action litigation.

● Our management team has limited skills and experience related to managing a public company.

● We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

● Our stock price may continue to fluctuate.

These and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and speak only as of the date hereof. The forward-looking statements are based on the current and reasonable expectations of our management but are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statements. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated or that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this filing, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**1. Description of the Business**

Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the "Company", "our", or "we") is a developer of ocean robots and services delivered to the ocean industry. We were initially incorporated as CleanTech Acquisition Corp. ("CLAQ" or "CleanTech") under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2020. The Company's principal corporate offices are located in Webster, Texas. Our services provide customers with the necessary data collection, analytics, and subsea manipulation capabilities to support and maintain assets while reducing their operational footprint, operating cost, and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to improve offshore health, safety, and environmental exposure.

*Business Combination -* On September 9, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), Nauticus Robotics, Inc. consummated its business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement," and together with any amendment, the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination") with CleanTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ ("Merger Sub"), and Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Texas corporation (after to the Closing Date, "Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc."). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between CLAQ and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. was affected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., with Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ. On the Closing Date, CLAQ was renamed "Nauticus Robotics, Inc." and the previous Nauticus Robotics, Inc. was renamed "Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc.".

At the closing, among other things, (a) each share of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing converted into shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common stock ("Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion"); (b) each of Nauticus Robotic Holdings, Inc.'s unsecured convertible note obligations outstanding was converted into shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock in accordance with the terms of each such Nauticus Convertible Note ("Nauticus Convertible Notes Conversion"); and (c) each share of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock (including shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion and Nauticus Convertible Notes Conversion) was converted into (i) 36,650,778 shares common stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock" of CLAQ prior to the Closing, and the Common Stock of the Company following the Closing) (ii) the right to receive 7,499,993 additional shares of Common Stock held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and as further described below (such additional escrowed shares, the "Earnout Shares") and (iii) the issuance of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock for the Equity Financing (as described below). An aggregate of 47,250,771 shares of Common Stock (inclusive of the Earnout Shares) were issued in the Business Combination.

Former holders of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock are entitled to receive their pro rata share of up to 7,499,993 additional Earnout Shares of Common Stock that were issued and are held in escrow. The Earnout Shares will be released from escrow upon occurrence of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. one-half of the Earnout Shares will be released if, within a 5-year period from closing date, the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. one-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be released if, within a 5-year period from closing date, the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period; and

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. one-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be released if, on or after December 31, 2022, within
 a 5-year period from closing date, the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share over
 any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period.

At closing, we received proceeds from Private Investment in a Public Entity subscribers ("PIPE Investment") consisting of:

● the issuance of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $31 million (the "Equity Financing"), and

● issuance of convertible secured debentures with warrants having an aggregate gross principal amount of $36,530,320 (the "Debentures") pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under GAAP. Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer and CLAQ was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc.

On September 9, 2022, the Company received from the Business Combination with CLAQ net cash of $14,947,876. The Company also assumed $30,157 in prepaids, $14,796,942 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $850,333 in notes payable and net equity of $(669,243).

CLAQ's net cash at the Closing Date totaled $14,947,876. This amount, together with proceeds of the PIPE Investment, were available to repay certain indebtedness, transaction costs and for general corporate purposes.

The Company incurred $12,582,000 in direct and incremental costs associated with the Business Combination and Equity Financing, which primarily consisted of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees.

*Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Business –* The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant market volatility and economic uncertainty and disruption during 2021 and continuing into 2022. The Company was adversely affected by the deterioration and increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook as a result of the impact of COVID-19. We have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions in our supply chain, due in part to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending upon the duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the associated business interruptions, our customers, suppliers, manufacturers and partners may suspend or delay their engagements with us, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to meet current timelines. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and may continue to affect our ability to recruit skilled employees to join our team. The conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect, among other things, demand for our products and the ability to test and assess our robotic systems with potential customers any of which adversely affects our business, results of operations and financial condition. The duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts cannot be accurately predicted at this time, and the ultimate direct and indirect impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain.

*Liquidity* – The Company has had recurring losses and negative cash flows since its inception. The Company continues to develop its principal products and conduct research and development activities. Supply chain disruptions instigated production delays and have continued to impact the Company's ability to deploy its products and realize product sale revenues. Management believes that available cash on hand, together with the revenue from its existing and anticipated new contracts, will provide it with sufficient cash from operations to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of this report, particularly when coupled with access to debt and equity capital markets and the reduction of operating costs, which consequently allows us to efficiently reallocate resources and focus on product developments that are closest to commercial deployment and market acceptance.

The Company has depended on debt and equity funding to meet its development and commercialization efforts. The Company may continue to access such markets if further delays in commercialization or customer adoption hamper its ability to deploy its technology and realize RaaS revenues, or if its cost reduction efforts (such as reducing the expenses the Company incurs for overhead and research and development efforts, which would allow it to reallocate such funds to products and services that are closer to completion, and subsequently more viable and profitable) are not sufficient to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of this report.

On August 29, 2022, we amended an existing sales contract with Triumph Subsea Construction Limited ("Triumph"), which provides for the sale of four Aquanaut systems for a total of $54.2 million over multiple years. Prior to making the first milestone payment, Triumph requested additional time to secure the financing required to perform under the terms of the agreement. The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to amend and restate the agreement but have not come to terms as of the date of this filing. If the parties cannot come to mutually agreeable terms, the agreement will be deemed breached by Triumph for failure to perform under the terms of the Agreement as amended. As of March 8, 2023, management has carefully considered all facts surrounding the Triumph contract and as such, the Company has removed the contract from its internal projections and excluded the associated revenues and costs until such time as there is an affirmative agreement, if any, on amended terms. Accordingly, we have excluded Triumph from the unfulfilled performance obligation table in Note 3.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

 

*Basis of Presentation **–*** The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and on a basis consistent with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except the shares and corresponding equity amounts and loss per share related to Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc.'s Common Stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the post-combination Common Stock capital structure. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., which are included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) of Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. for periods until September 9, 2022, the Closing Date of the Business Combination, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) of Nauticus Robotics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. for the period from September 10, 2022 through September 30, 2022. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies –* The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc.'s financial statements in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies which have had a material impact on the Company's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

*Use of Estimates* – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the (i) estimates of future costs to complete customer contracts recognized over time, (ii) valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, (iii) valuation of stock-based compensation awards and (iv) the valuation of conversion options, warrants and earnouts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Revenue –* Our primary sources of revenue are from providing technology and engineering services to the offshore industry and governmental entities. Revenue is generated pursuant to contractual arrangements to design and develop subsea robots and software and to provide related engineering, technical, and other services according to the specifications of the customers. These contracts for service sales (cost plus fixed fee or firm fixed fee) typically have terms of up to 18 months. The Company has no product sales as its core products are still under development.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer distinct goods or services to a customer. The product and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another. Accordingly, our contracts are typically accounted for as one performance obligation.

Our performance obligations under service agreements generally are satisfied over time as the service is provided. Revenue under these contracts is recognized over time using an input measure of progress (typically costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion). This requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions to estimate contract sales and costs associated with its contracts with customers. At the outset of a long-term contract, the Company identifies risks to the achievement of the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract. Throughout the contract term, on at least a quarterly basis, we monitor and assess the effects of those risks on its estimates of sales and total costs to complete the contract. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Firm-fixed price contracts present the risk of unreimbursed cost overruns, potentially resulting in lower-than-expected contract profits and margins. This risk is generally lower for cost plus fixed fee contracts which, as a result, generally have a lower margin.

*Inventories* – Inventories include raw materials and work in process used in the construction and installation of a portfolio of ocean robotics systems technology products that include the Aquanaut and Olympic Arm. Raw materials consist of composite marine structures, commercial off-the-shelf or COTS, batteries, and hardware and electrical components. Work in progress inventories consist of raw materials and labor for construction of projects. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews inventories for specifically identifiable items that are unusable or obsolete based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Based on this evaluation, we make provisions for unusable and obsolete inventories in order to write inventories down to their net realizable value.

*Common Stock Warrants –* We account for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. This assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability or requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's Common Stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

We have determined that the Private Warrants and Public Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. The Private Warrants and Public Warrants were initially recorded at their estimated fair value on the Closing Date and are then re-valued at each reporting date thereafter, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (a Level 3 measurement). The Public Warrants are valued using their publicly-traded price at each measurement date (a Level 1 measurement).

We have determined that the SPA Warrants (defined below) should be accounted for as liabilities. The SPA Warrants were initially recorded at their estimated fair value on the Closing Date and are then re-valued at each reporting date thereafter, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. At the Closing Date, the SPA Warrants fair value upon issuance was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model (a Level 3 measurement).

*Earnout Shares* – Earnout shares, issuable to former holders of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc.'s Common Stock, are held in escrow. The Earnout Shares will be released upon occurrence of a Triggering Event within five years of the Closing Date. The Earnout Shares are considered legally issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to restrictions on transfer and potential forfeiture pending the achievement of the earnout targets. The Company evaluated the Earnout Shares and concluded that they meet the criteria for equity classification. The Earnout Shares were classified in stockholders' equity (deficit), recognized at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and will not be subsequently remeasured. Their estimated fair value upon issuance was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model (a Level 3 measurement).

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

*Convertible Instruments* – In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, *Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity*. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, which meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions.

The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, *Earnings Per Share*, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on prior year retained earnings as we have stated the convertible debt instruments at their face value in prior period financial statements without bifurcation. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on Company financial statements at the date of adoption but is applicable to newly issued instruments.

*Capitalized Interest –* The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to work in process during the related construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of revenue when the related completed project is delivered to the buyer. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized interest totaling $265,650 and $350,857, respectively, to work in process attributable to inventories and property and equipment. No amounts of interest were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

*Earnings (Loss) per Share* – Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and warrants (determined using the treasury stock method) and conversion of convertible debt. The Earnout Shares, which are subject to forfeiture if the achievement of certain stock price thresholds is not met, are not considered participating securities and are not included in the weighted-average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating loss per share.

*Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk **–*** We have a limited number of customers. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, sales to two customers accounted for 99% and 96% of total revenue, respectively. The total balance due from these customers as of September 30, 2022 comprised 96% of accounts receivable. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, sales to two customers accounted for 91% and 7% of total revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales to two customers accounted for 85% and 14% of total revenue, respectively. The total balances due from these customers as of December 31, 2021, made up 86% of accounts receivable. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenue. Loss of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

*Reclassifications* – Financial statements presented for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-period presentation.

 

 

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

 

*Recent Accounting Pronouncements –* In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses*, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2022. There was no impact from the adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

*Restatement of prior financial information* – This assessment of our SPA Warrants, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance. Pursuant to our policy for account for warrants and as preparation for the initial filing of Form 10-K at December 31, 2022, we have reassessed the classification of our SPA Warrants and determined the warrants according to ASC 815-40-15-7E should have been classified as derivative warrant liabilities at fair value and marked to market at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As a result, the SPA Warrants should be classified as liability rather than equity in our Form 10-Q issued for the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company in each subsequent quarter will continually review the classification of our warrants.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, "Materiality," and FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 2 "Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information" indicate that quantifying and aggregating errors is only the beginning of an analysis of materiality and that both quantitative and qualitative factors must be considered in determining whether individual errors are material. The Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the impact was material for the period ended September 30, 2022. The assessment resulted in the amendment of the previously reported financial statements reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022.

The SPA Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of September 9, 2022 at $20,949,110 and was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model incorporating future projections of the various potential outcomes and any exercise price adjustments based on future financing events.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and certain of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been restated to reflect the corrections. The impact of the restatement for the period ended September 30, 2022 is shown in the tables below and did not change the Company's reported total assets, cash and cash equivalents, operating expenses, operating losses or cash flows from operations.

In June 2021, we signed a Subcontractor Agreement with an unrelated third party to provide engineering, design, development, and other services which also includes a lease for an Aquanaut vehicle ("Vehicle Lease"). The Vehicle Lease is for a total of $2,270,000, or $126,111 per month for 18 months. Service revenue for the Vehicle Lease totaled $378,333 and $1,153,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Service revenue for the Vehicle Lease totaled $378,333 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Vehicle Lease is classified as an operating lease and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Estimated future revenue under the Vehicle Lease totaling $378,333 is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

*Contract Balances* – Accounts receivable, net at September 30, 2022 totaled $637,350 due from customers for contract billings and is expected to be collected within the next three to six months. At December 31, 2021, accounts receivable, net totaled $794,136. The decrease in accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 as compared with December 31, 2021 corresponds to the timing of the collections between periods. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, allowances for doubtful accounts included in accounts receivable totaled $17,827 and $0, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0 and $17,827, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022. There was no bad debt expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized, and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are recorded at the net amount expected to be billed and collected. Contract assets decreased $409,431 in the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to the timing of the billing for the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations.

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

Contract liabilities include billings in excess of revenue recognized and accrual of certain contract obligations. The Company had no contract liabilities at September 30, 2022. Contract liabilities at December 31, 2021 included $306,791 of billings in excess of revenue recognized and $67,000 for contract completion obligations associated with a customer contract for a modified Aquanaut vehicle, both amounts included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2021. These amounts were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

*Unfulfilled Performance Obligations –* As of September 30, 2022, we expect to recognize approximately $11.5 million of revenue in future periods from unfulfilled performance obligations from existing contracts with customers.

*Convertible Note Obligations* – As of December 31, 2021, Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. was obligated under five contingently convertible note obligations bearing interest at interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 10% per annum. Each of these contingently convertible note obligations were converted into shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock in accordance with the terms of each such note upon closing of the Business Combination. Each share of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock received was converted into (i) an aggregate of 5,299,546 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a pro-rata number of the total Earnout Shares in the Business Combination.

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

Upon closing of the Business Combination, we issued Debentures having an aggregate gross principal amount of $36,530,320 together with 2,922,425 SPA Warrants for proceeds of $35,800,000 inclusive of a 2% original issue discount. The fair value of the SPA Warrants was estimated to be $20,949,110 using a Monte Carlo valuation model incorporating future projections of the various potential outcomes and any exercise price adjustments based on future financing events. This amount was recorded as a warrant liability and, together with the original issue discount, was recognized as a debt discount upon issuance totaling $21,679,716.

The Debentures may be converted at the holders' option at 120% of the principal amount at a conversion price of $15.00 or 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock. The conversion price may be adjusted downward for certain events including the issuance by the Company of dilutive instruments below the current conversion price. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures at 5% per annum, payable quarterly. The Debentures are secured by first priority interests, and liens on, all our assets, and mature on the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance, September 9, 2026.

The SPA Warrants contain similar anti-dilution provisions and are exercisable initially at $20 per share over their ten-year term at the holders' option (further terms of the SPA Warrants are discussed in Note 10).

The debt discount is being accreted to interest expense over the four-year term of the Debentures. We recorded $193,946 of debt discount accretion in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Debentures' effective interest rate is approximately 25.2%.

 

*RCB Equities #1, LLC Term Loan Credit Agreement* – On December 16, 2021, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement with RCB Equities #1, LLC ("RCB") in the amount of $15,000,000 to provide funds for the Company's working capital and general corporate purposes. The note bore interest at 13% per annum and was payable in 18 monthly installments of interest only through its maturity date of June 16, 2023. A 2% commitment fee totaling $300,000 was paid upon loan inception and reported as a debt discount. There was also a 5% exit fee, accrued over the note term, totaling $750,000.

On August 18, 2022, we signed an amendment to the note with RCB providing for an additional borrowing of $2,000,000, with no interest and a maturity date of 60 days from the funding date. We paid a $33,000 origination fee with an additional $100,000 fee due upon repayment.

The RCB note, as amended, was repaid in full including all accrued and unpaid interest and fees on September 12, 2022.

The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility under a 64-month operating lease expiring April 30, 2024. The lease includes rent escalations and chargebacks to the Company for build-out costs.

*Litigation –* From time to time, we may be subject to litigation and other claims in the normal course of business. No amounts have been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to any matters.

**8. Income Taxes**

Income tax provisions for interim periods are generally based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent, or unusual items related specifically to interim periods. No income tax expense was recognized for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

**9. Equity**

*Common Stock* – A total of 47,250,771 shares of Common Stock were outstanding at September 30, 2022. Former holders of CLAQ common stock hold a total of 6,619,490 shares of Common Stock as a result of the Business Combination.

*Series A and Series B Preferred Stock **–*** The Company had 334,800 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 725,426 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the Business Combination. Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock was issued in connection with the Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion*.* Each share of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock was converted into (i) an aggregate of 15,062,525 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a pro-rata number of the total Earnout Shares in the Business Combination.

*Common Stock Repurchase Agreements –* Prior to the Business Combination, Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. had agreements with its stockholders and option holders for the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of outstanding common stock at prices based upon agreed valuation formulas. These agreements were terminated at the closing of the Business Combination.

*Earnout Shares* - Following the closing of the Business Combination, former holders of shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. Common Stock (including shares received as a result of the Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion and the Nauticus Convertible Notes Conversion) are entitled to receive their pro rata share of up to 7,499,993 Earnout Shares which are held in escrow. The Earnout Shares will be released from escrow upon occurrence of certain Triggering Events. At September 30, 2022, the earnout targets have not been achieved and the Earnout Shares remain in escrow.

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

The Earnout Shares were classified in stockholders' equity (deficit) and recognized at their fair value upon issuance totaling $4,957,366. Their estimated fair value upon issuance was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulated our stock price and the timing of the lapse of the transfer restrictions. The issuance of the Earnout Shares was treated as a deemed dividend. Because the Company does not have retained earnings, the issuance was recorded within additional paid-in capital.

**10. Warrants**

*Public Warrants* – We assumed 8,625,000 Public Warrants in the Business Combination which remained outstanding as of September 30, 2022. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50, subject to adjustment. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 120 days following the consummation of the Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from exemption under the Securities Act. The Public Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of our completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Our Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "KITTW".

We may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

● at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable,

● upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (subject to adjustment for splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events), for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and

● if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, we have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a "cashless basis."

**NAUTICUS ROBOTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

The Private Warrants purchased by CleanTech Investments, LLC are not exercisable after July 14, 2026, as long as Chardan Capital Markets, LLC or any of its related persons beneficially own these Private Warrants.

The Private Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of September 30, 2022 at $1,906,057 based on their publicly-traded price. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: stock price of $3.61, no assumed dividends, a risk-free rate of 4.06% and implied volatility of 36.7%. The change in value of the Private Warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $(525,839) and was reported with other (income) expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*SPA Warrants* – Concurrent with the Closing and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued 2,922,425 SPA Warrants. The SPA Warrants are exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $20.00. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants is not effective upon the registered holder's election to exercise, the holder may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise their SPA Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from exemption under the Securities Act. The SPA Warrants expire ten years after their initial issuance date, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The SPA Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of September 30, 2022 at $28,041,937 and was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model incorporating future projections of the various potential outcomes and any exercise price adjustments based on future financing events. The change in value of the SPA Warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $7,092,827 and was reported with other (income) expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The exercise price of the SPA Warrants is subject to (i) customary anti-dilution adjustments; and (ii) in the case of a subsequent equity sale at a per share price below the exercise price, the exercise price of the associated warrant will be adjusted to such lower price, and the number of shares underlying the warrant will increase proportionately. In the event of a rights offering or dividend, the warrant holder will be treated as though the shares underlying the warrants, he/she holds were outstanding. These warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis.

The Company measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels related to fair value measurements are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 – | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |

---

The estimated fair values of accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and indebtedness with unrelated parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity or time to maturity of these instruments. Notes payable with related parties may not be arms-length transactions and therefore, may not reflect fair value. The estimated fair value of the Debentures approximates their carrying amount due to their recent issuance.

The Company's non-financial assets measured at fair value on non-recurring basis include stock-based compensation awards, valuations of SPA Warrants and Earnout Shares. These are considered Level 3 measurements as they involve significant unobservable inputs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

*The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.*

**Explanatory Note**

On September 9, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), Nauticus Robotics, Inc. consummated its Business Combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement," and together with any amendments, the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination") with CleanTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ (as defined below) ("Merger Sub"), and Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Texas corporation (after to the Closing Date, "Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc."). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between CLAQ and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., with Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ. On the Closing Date, CLAQ was renamed "Nauticus Robotics, Inc." and the previous Nauticus Robotics, Inc. was renamed "Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc."

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under GAAP. Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer and CLAQ was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc.

**Overview**

Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the "Company", "our", or "we") is a developer of ocean robots, cloud software, and services delivered to the ocean industry. We were initially incorporated as CleanTech Acquisition Corp. ("CLAQ" or "CleanTech") under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2020. The Company's principal corporate offices are located in Webster, Texas Our services provide customers with the necessary data collection, analytics, and subsea manipulation capabilities to support and maintain assets while reducing their operational footprint, operating cost, and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to improve offshore health, safety, and environmental exposure.

Our subsea robotic product, Aquanaut, is a vehicle that begins its mission in a hydrodynamically efficient configuration which enables efficient transit to the worksite (i.e., operating as an autonomous underwater vehicle, or "AUV"). During transit (operating in survey mode), Aquanaut's sensor suite provides capability to observe and inspect subsea assets or other subsea features. Once it arrives at the worksite, Aquanaut transforms its hull configuration to expose two work-class capable, electric manipulators that can perform dexterous tasks with (supervised), or without (autonomous), direct human involvement. In this intervention mode, the vehicle has capabilities similar to a conventional remotely operated vehicle ("ROV"). The ability to operate in both AUV and ROV modes is a quality unique to our subsea robot and is protected under a U.S. patent. To take advantage of these special configuration qualities, we have developed underwater acoustic communication technology, called Wavelink, our over-the-horizon remote connectivity solution, which removes the need for long umbilicals to connect the robot with topside vessels. Eliminating these umbilicals and communicating with the robot through acoustic or other latent, laser, or RF methods reduces much of the system infrastructure that is currently required for ROV servicing operations and is core to our value proposition.

The component technologies that comprise the Aquanaut are also marketable to the existing worldwide ROV fleet. Aquanaut's perception and machine learning software technologies combined with its perception and electric manipulators can be retrofitted on existing ROV platforms to improve their ability to perform subsea maintenance activities. The Argonaut, a derivative product of the Aquanaut, is aligned to non-industrial, government applications. This vehicle embodies nearly all of the Aquanaut's core technologies but varies in form and function necessary to perform specialized missions.

Our key technologies are autonomous platforms, acoustic communications networks, electric manipulators, AI-based perception and control software, and high-definition workspace sensors. Implementation of these technologies enables operations to reduced costs over conventional methods.

*Basis of Presentation **–*** The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse business combination with Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. as the accounting acquirer and CLAQ as the accounting acquiree. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity (deficit) of Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc. for periods until September 9, 2022, the Closing Date of the Business Combination, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) of Nauticus Robotics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. for the period from September 10, 2022 through September 30, 2022. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Business –* The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant market volatility and economic uncertainty and disruption during 2021 and continuing into 2022. The Company was adversely affected by the deterioration and increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook as a result of the impact of COVID-19. We have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions in our supply chain, due in part to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending upon the duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the associated business interruptions, our customers, suppliers, manufacturers and partners may suspend or delay their engagements with us, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to meet current timelines. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and may continue to affect our ability to recruit skilled employees to join our team. The conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect, among other things, demand for our products and the ability to test and assess our robotic systems with potential customers any of which adversely affects our business, results of operations and financial condition. The duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts cannot be accurately predicted at this time, and the ultimate direct and indirect impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain.

*Liquidity* – The Company has had recurring losses and negative cash flows since its inception. The Company continues to develop its principal products and conduct research and development activities. Supply chain disruptions instigated production delays and have continued to impact the Company's ability to deploy its products and realize material RaaS and product sale revenues. Nonetheless, management believes that available cash on hand, together with the revenue from its existing and anticipated new contracts, will provide it with sufficient cash from operations to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of this report, particularly when coupled with access to debt and equity capital markets and the reduction of operating costs, which consequently allows us to efficiently reallocate resources and focus on product developments that are closest to commercial deployment and market acceptance.

The Company has depended on debt and equity funding to meet its development and commercialization efforts. The Company may continue to access such markets if further delays in commercialization or customer adoption hamper its ability to deploy its technology and realize RaaS revenues, or if its cost reduction efforts (such as reducing the expenses the Company incurs for overhead and research and development efforts, which would allow it to reallocate such funds to products and services that are closer to completion, and subsequently more viable and profitable) are not sufficient to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of this report.

On August 29, 2022, we amended an existing sales contract with Triumph Subsea Construction Limited ("Triumph"), which provides for the sale of four Aquanaut systems for a total of $54.2 million over multiple years. Prior to making the first milestone payment, Triumph requested additional time to secure the financing required to perform under the terms of the agreement. The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to amend and restate the agreement but have not come to terms as of the date of this report. If the parties cannot come to mutually agreeable terms, the agreement will be deemed breached by Triumph for failure to perform under the terms of the Agreement as amended. As of March 8, 2023, management has carefully considered all facts surrounding the Triumph contract and as such, the Company has removed the contract from its internal projections and excluded the associated revenues and costs until such time as there is an affirmative agreement, if any, on amended terms. Accordingly, we have excluded Triumph from the unfulfilled performance obligation table in Note 3.

*Revenue.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenue increased by $1.0 million, or 51%, to $3.0 million for 2022, as compared to $2.0 million for 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the addition of revenue from two new service contracts and increased performance on an existing service contract, including the continued lease of an Aquanaut vehicle during 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 153%, to $8.2 million for 2022, as compared to $3.2 million for 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the addition of revenue from four service contracts, including the continued lease of an Aquanaut vehicle, during 2022.

 ****

*Cost of revenue.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, cost of revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 161%, to $3.8 million for 2022, as compared to $1.4 million for 2021. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the addition of executing the three service contracts from the prior year discussed above. Also included in cost revenue is a one-time bonus expense of approximately $1.2 million for the successful completion of the Merger.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of revenue increased by $4.6 million, or 128%, to $8.2 million for 2022, as compared to $3.6 million for 2021. The increase in cost of revenue is attributable to the addition of executing four service contracts from the prior year discussed above. Also included in cost revenue is a one-time bonus of approximately $1.2 million for the successful completion of the Merger.

 

*Depreciation.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, depreciation increased by $53 thousand, or 60%, to $142 thousand for 2022, as compared to $89 thousand for 2021 primarily due to increased investment in operational assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, depreciation increased by $107 thousand, or 41%, to $370 thousand for 2022, as compared to $263 thousand for 2021 primarily due to increased investment in operational assets.

 

*Research and development.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, total research and development expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 67%, to $0.2 million for 2022, as compared to $0.7 million for 2021. The decrease was due primarily to the Company meeting technological feasibility on both hardware and software development.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total research and development expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 13%, to $2.1 million for 2022, as compared to $2.4 million for 2021. The decrease was due primarily to the Company meeting technological feasibility on both hardware and software development.

 

*General and administrative.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, total general and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 531%, to $4.9 million for 2022, as compared to $0.8 million for 2021. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in company headcount, sales and marketing expense, professional fees and other costs incurred in preparation for the Business Combination transaction with CleanTech. Also included in general and administrative expense is a one-time bonus of approximately $1.5 million for the successful completion of the Merger.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total general and administrative expenses increased by $6.7 million, or 325%, to $8.8 million for 2022, as compared to $2.1 million for 2021. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in company headcount, sales and marketing expense, professional fees and other costs incurred in preparation for the business combination transaction with CleanTech. Also included in general and administrative expense is a one-time bonus expense of approximately $1.5 million for the successful completion of the Merger.

 

*Other income, net.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income, net increased by $236 thousand to $235 thousand for 2022 as compared to $1 thousand of other expense, net in 2021. The increase was due primarily to miscellaneous receipts and asset sales.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income, net decreased by $1,334 thousand to $240 thousand for 2022 as compared to $1,574 thousand in 2021. The decrease was due primarily to the recognition of the Paycheck Protection Program or (PPP) loan during the first and second quarter of 2021.

*Change in fair value of warrant liabilities.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, change in fair value of warrant liabilities increased by $6.0 million to $6.0 million of other (income) expense in 2022 as compared to $0 in 2021. This increase was due to the change in mark-to-market value of the private and public warrants assumed by the Company in the Business Combination and SPA Warrants from the convertible debt.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, change in fair value of warrant liabilities increased by $6.0 to $6.0 million of other (income) expense in 2022 as compared to $0 in 2021. This increase was due to the change in mark-to-market value of the private and public warrants assumed by the Company in the Business Combination and SPA Warrants from the convertible debt.

 

*Interest expense, net.* For the three months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense, net increased by $1,179 thousand to $1,402 thousand for 2022 as compared to $223 thousand in 2021. Interest expense, net increased due to an increase in indebtedness entered into by the Company during the third and fourth quarter of 2021.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense, net increased by $2,696 thousand to $3,058 thousand for 2022 as compared to $362 thousand in 2021. Interest expense, net increased due to an increase in indebtedness entered into by the Company during the third and fourth quarter of 2021.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of September 30, 2022, we had $35,928,218 of cash and cash equivalents. The cash equivalents consist of money market funds.

 

*Significant sources and uses of cash during the first nine months of 2022.*

Sources of cash:

● We received net proceeds of $53.3 million from debt and equity financing, net of equity issuance costs.

Uses of cash:

● Cash used in operating activities was $31.5 million, which included $19.1 million invested in working capital.

● Cash used in investing activities for Capital expenditures were $6.8 million.

● Cash used in financing activities in payment of debt obligations was $17.9 million

 

*Future sources and uses of cash.* Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including sales volume, the timing and extent of spending to support R&D efforts, investments in technology, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and market adoption of new and enhanced products and features. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds received from the issuance of debt and equity funding and cash flow from our operations.

We believe our cash on hand and cash collections from our monthly receivables afford us adequate liquidity for the next 12 months. We anticipate needing additional capital to continue expanding our business operations, which may include acquisitions and capital expenditures. Currently, the Company does not generate sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. We have historically financed our operations through equity and debt financing. We do not have any commitments for equity funding at this time, and additional funding may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. As such there is no assurance that we can raise additional capital from external sources, the failure of which could cause us to curtail operations.

*Indebtedness.* The Company's indebtedness at September 30, 2022 is presented in Item I, "Financial Statements – Note 5 – Notes Payable" and our lease obligations are presented in Item I, "Financial Statements—Note 6 – Leases."

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

As of September 30, 2022, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

*Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.* Our management, with the participation and supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our 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 the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of the previously disclosed material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of this fact, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

*Previously identified material weakness.* In 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This material weakness related to a lack of qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel with an appropriate level of experience and inadequate procedures for the accounting close process including obtaining information supporting significant accounting estimates and judgments affecting the financial statements on a timely basis. As a result, our management concluded that a material weakness existed in its internal control over financial reporting.

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 annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Through the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we continued to implement remediation initiatives in response to the previously identified material weakness, including, but not limited to, hiring additional experienced accounting and financial reporting personnel, as well as designing and implementing additional controls over financial reporting, including those designed to strengthen our segregation of duties and review processes related to accounting and financial statement presentation and disclosures. While we believe that these efforts have improved and will continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting, remediation of the material weakness will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. Our remediation activities are ongoing and are subject to continued management review supported by ongoing design and testing of our framework of internal controls over financial reporting.

*Changes in internal control over financial reporting.* We implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting regarding our close procedures including adding qualified staffing to address segregation of duties concerns. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

*Identified Material Weakness as of September 2022.* We identified a material weakness in controls over the accounting for complex warrant issuances and the classification of these issued warrants. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements, other literature, and consultation with third-party experts, we did not classify the warrants correctly. This material weakness resulted in the failure to prevent material errors in accounting for the warrants as equity classification when the warrants should have been classified as liabilities, and marked to market each reporting period, resulting in restatement of our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Remediation Plan. Management and our Audit Committee is currently reviewing and determine a plan to remediate the material weakness described above and to enhance our overall control environment. We will not consider the material weakness remediated until our enhanced control is operational for a sufficient period of time and tested, enabling management to conclude that the enhanced controls are operating effectively. Our remediation plan includes the implementation of controls over the process of reviewing significant and complex contracts and agreements.

*Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control.* The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, 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 intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be subject to litigation and other claims in the normal course of business. No amounts have been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to any matters.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus with respect to our Business Combination with CLAQ, filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, other than as described below. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the final prospectus. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

***We have restated our prior unaudited consolidated financial statements, which may lead to additional risks and uncertainties, including loss of investor confidence and negative impacts on our stock price. (As Restated)***

We have restated our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 (the "Restated Period"). Our Audit Committee, in consultation with and based on the recommendation of management, made the determination to restate these financial statements following the identification of errors related to the classification of certain warrants that were previously recorded as equity. Due to the errors, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company's previously issued financial statements for the Restated Period should no longer be relied upon. In addition, we performed a re-evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on the re-evaluation, management concluded that, as a result of the identified of material weakness, our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective for the Restated Period. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 has been amended by this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to, among other things, reflect the restatement of our financial statements for the Restated Period.

As a result of these events, we have become subject to a number of additional costs and risks, including unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement and the remediation of our ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attention of our management team has been diverted by these efforts. We could be subject to additional stockholder, governmental, or other actions in connection with the restatement or other matters. Any such proceedings will, regardless of the outcome, consume management's time and attention and may result in additional legal, accounting, insurance and other costs. If we do not prevail in any such proceedings, we could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs. In addition, the restatement and related matters could impair our reputation or could cause our counterparties to lose confidence in us. Each of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.***

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weakness identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. 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 annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex warrant issuances and the classification of these issued warrants. As disclosed in Note 2 – *Previously Reported Financial Statements*, the Company incorrectly accounted for certain warrants as equity when the warrants should have been classified as liabilities and marked to market each reporting period. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement and restatement of our financial statements for nine months ended September 30, 2022.

To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. For a discussion of management's consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for the improper classification of the warrants, see Note 2 to the accompanying condensed financial statements, as well as Item 4: Controls and Procedures, included in this Quarterly Report.

Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our ordinary shares are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future, those controls, and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CLAQ entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the "Subscription Agreements") with certain parties subscribing for shares of Common Stock (the "Subscribers") pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and CLAQ has agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $31 million (the "Equity Financing"). At the Closing, we issued 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock to the Subscribers. The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations and warranties and provide for certain customary registration rights with respect to the shares issued thereunder.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CLAQ and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain investors purchasing up to an aggregate of $40.0 million in principal amount of the Debentures and the SPA Warrants. Upon Closing, ATW Special Situations I LLC, Material Impact Fund II, L.P., and the 2022 SLS Family Irrevocable Trust, subscribed for Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $36,530,320 (out of the aggregate $40.0 million) which is convertible into 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock and associated warrants for an additional 2,922,425 shares (the "SPA Warrants"). We gave certain registration rights to ATW Special Situations I LLC, Material Impact Fund II, L.P., and the 2022 SLS Family Irrevocable Trust with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and SPA Warrants.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. We believe each of these transactions was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (and Regulation D promulgated thereunder) as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed on the share certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
