Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and Other Information There is no pro forma financial information for the year ended April 30, 2023 because all acquisitions had closed prior to the beginning of the reporting period. The following table presents pro forma results as if our acquisition of Teal had occurred on May 1, 2021:
|  | Year ended April 30, 2022
|  | Red Cat |  | Teal |  | Consolidated
Revenues |  | $ | 6,428,963 |  |  | $ | 416,063 |  |  | $ | 6,845,026 |
Net Loss |  |  | (11,689,128 | ) |  |  | (1,467,770 | ) |  |  | (13,156,898 | )
The acquisition of Skypersonic was completed on May 7, 2021 and its activities during the period from May 1, 2021 to May 7, 2021 were immaterial to the consolidated pro forma results. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the Company's accounting policies, and includes transaction costs, amortization of the acquired intangible assets, and other expenses directly related to the acquisition of Teal. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable but not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisition closed on the date indicated in the tables, nor are they indicative of results of operations that may occur in the future. Other information related to the Company’s acquisitions include:
| • | The purchase price allocation has been finalized for each acquisition based on the report from the valuation services firm engaged to assist in the identification and valuation of intangible assets acquired.
| • | The fair value of shares issued by the Company as part of the consideration paid is normally based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days prior to the closing of the transaction. For accounting purposes, the shares issued are valued based on the closing stock price on the date that the transaction closes.
| • | Goodwill for Rotor Riot relates to its strong social media presence including more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Goodwill for Fat Shark is attributable to its relationship with manufacturing sources in China and the potential to integrate its goggle technologies with the Teal drone. Goodwill for Teal is ascribed to its existing relationship with several U.S. government agencies including its classification as an approved vendor.
| • | The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized.
