Note 1 – The Business

Note 1 – The Business  

The Company was originally incorporated in February 1984. Since April 2016, the Company’s primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry which it presently does through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and services through five acquisitions, including: 

A. In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (“FPV”) drones and equipment, primarily to consumers. The purchase price was $1,995,114.

B. In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings, Ltd. (“Fat Shark”), a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $8,354,076.

C. In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provided hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is either denied or not available, yet still record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012.

	D.	In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones, Inc. (“Teal”), a leader in commercial and government Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
	E.	In September 2024, the Company acquired FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation, an industry-leading provider of VTOL drone, sensor and software solutions, under an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”). As part of the acquisition, the Company created a new subsidiary, FW Acquisition Inc. (“FlightWave”) for ongoing operations. The purchase price was $14,000,000. See Note 3 for additional information.

Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment (“Enterprise”) and the Consumer segment (“Consumer”) to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAVs to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal.

On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment, consisting of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, to Unusual Machines. The sale reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital on defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value. See Note 4 and Note 8.
