Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting – The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries which include Teal, FlightWave (beginning on September 5, 2024), and Skypersonic. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark (collectively, the “Consumer segment”) through the sale date of February 16, 2024. Non-majority owned investments, including the formerly wholly owned subsidiaries Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, were accounted for using the equity method because the Company was able to significantly influence the operating policies of the investee. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation, which consisted of allocating depreciation and amortization to the specific financial statement elements The Consumer segment businesses are characterized as discontinued operations in these financial statements. The operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are separately stated in those respective financial statements. See Note 4. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, (ii) evaluate long-term assets, including goodwill, for impairment, (iii) evaluate inventory reserves for excess and obsolescence, and (iv) determine valuations of convertible notes payable and warrants. Cash and Cash Equivalents – At December 31, 2024, we had cash of $9,154,297 in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced any loss on these cash balances and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk. Marketable Securities – Our marketable securities were classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. These securities were primarily invested in corporate bonds and were readily saleable, and therefore, we have classified them as short term. Our available-for-sale securities were carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Once realized, any gains or losses were recognized in the statement of operations. We have elected to present accrued interest income separately from marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest income was $0 as of December 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024. Accrued interest income was $151,671 as of April 30, 2023, and was included in other current assets. We did not write off any accrued interest income during the eight months ended December 31, 2024 or the years ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023. Accounts Receivable, net – Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a multitude of factors, including historical bad debt levels for its customer base, experience with a specific customer, the economic environment, and other factors. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected. Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, generally does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the customer from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk. Customers that accounted for 10% or greater of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2024, April 30, 2024, and April 30, 2023 were as follows: Schedules of Concentration of Credit Risk
|  | December 31, |  |  | April 30, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |

Customer H |  |  | -* |  |  |  | -* |  |  |  | 10 | %
* |  | Accounts Receivable was less than 10%
For the eight months ended December 31, 2024, three customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 19%, 19% and 11%, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2024, three customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 28%, 23% and 10%, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2023, two customers accounted for equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue, totaling 22% and 20%, respectively. Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor, indirect overhead, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventory using various reference measures including current product selling prices and recent customer demand, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and obsolescence. Goodwill and Long-lived Assets – Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both. Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross profit, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Our assumptions are based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. Goodwill for Teal and FlightWave is ascribed to existing relationships with several U.S. government agencies including classification as approved vendors. The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes. 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. Property and equipment – Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally: (i) furniture and fixtures - seven years, (ii) equipment and related - two to five years, and (iii) leasehold improvements – nine to fifteen years. Equity Method Investment – The equity method of accounting is applied to investments in which the Company has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%. The Company evaluates its equity method investments each reporting period for evidence of a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. The Company performed this analysis and concluded that its investment in UMAC was other-than-temporarily impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $11,353,875 for the year ended April 30, 2024. See Note 9 for additional information. Leases – Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses an effective discount rate of 12% based on its last debt financing. Operating lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced by the amount of the expense. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease when they are reasonably certain to occur. Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities, and Related Disclosures – The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data. The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The recorded carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable are considered to approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term nature. Liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consisted of convertible notes payable. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 5 for additional information. Convertible Notes Payable The Company measures its convertible notes payable at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes payable related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a convertible notes payable fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In determining the fair value of the convertible notes payable for the eight months ended December 31, 2024, the Company used a market-based approach. The valuation method utilized a negotiated discount rate and a market yield rate which are unobservable inputs. An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value. The Company calculated the estimated fair value of the convertible notes payable for the eight months ended December 31, 2024 using the following assumptions: Schedules of Fair Value, Net Derivative Asset (Liability) Measured on Recurring Basis, Unobservable Input Reconciliation
Issuance date |  |  | 10/1/2024 - 11/26/2024 |

Warrants The fair value of the warrants issued during the eight months ended December 31, 2024 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant unobservable inputs for the Monte Carlo model include the stock price, exercise price, risk-free rate of return, time to expiration, and the volatility. An increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value. Additionally, if certain provisions are triggered, reset adjustments may be required in the future. For the eight months ended December 31, 2024, no value was assigned to the warrants due to the fair market value of the convertible note payable being in excess of the proceeds received. Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered regarding revenue recognition including (i) identifying the promised goods, (ii) evaluating performance obligations, (iii) measuring the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v) recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied. The Company’s revenue transactions include the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled, completion of non-recurring engineering, completion of training, and customer support services. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product or prototypes unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract. Customer deposits totaled $227,484, $53,939 and $155,986 at December 31, 2024, April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The Company expects all customer deposits as of December 31, 2024 to be recognized as revenue during the year ending December 31, 2025. From time to time, non-recurring engineering contracts may involve the capitalization of engineering prototypes, classified as contract assets. Contract assets totaled $0, $1,477,859 and $0 at December 31, 2024, April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue type: Schedules of Revenue Disaggregated by Revenue Type

Research and Development – Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, materials, and a proportionate share of overhead costs such as rent. Product Warranty - The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both current and historical product sales data and warranty costs incurred. Product warranty reserves are recorded in current liabilities under accrued expenses. Warranty liability was approximately $661,000, $372,000 and $90,000 as of December 31, 2024, April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. Income Taxes – Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Comprehensive Loss – Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. During the eight months ended December 31, 2024, comprehensive loss was $4,621 higher than net loss, related to foreign currency translation adjustments. During the year ended April 30, 2024, comprehensive loss was $865,738 lower than net loss, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $864,165 and foreign currency translation adjustments of $1,573. During the year ended April 30, 2023, comprehensive loss was $609,155 lower than net loss, related to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities totaling $610,129, partially offset by foreign currency translation adjustments of $974. Stock-Based Compensation – Stock options are valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock is based on our stock price on the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period which is the vesting term. For awards subject to performance vesting conditions, expense is recognized for the awards if it is probable the performance conditions will be met. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The conversion or exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future. Outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive include: Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share

Total |  |  | 7,704,287 |  |  |  | 9,234,959 |  |  |  | 7,928,098 |
Related Parties – Parties are considered to be related to us if they have control or significant influence, directly or indirectly, over us, including key management personnel and members of the Board of Directors or are direct relatives of key management personnel of members of the Board of Directors. Related Party transactions are disclosed in Note 20. Liquidity and Going Concern – The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses related to acquisitions, as well as costs incurred to pursue its long-term growth strategy. During the eight months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $43,613,971 and used cash in operating activities of $20,535,977. As of December 31, 2024, working capital totaled $21,619,607. These financial results and our financial position at December 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has recently taken actions to strengthen its liquidity through additional financings. Additionally, in November 2024, the Company was selected as the winner of the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record which the Company is currently in negotiations regarding the initial purchase. The Company is currently in the process of scaling our production manufacturing facility in order to increase revenue and improve gross margins in hopes to increase cash flows from operations. As described in Note 14 and Note 22, the Company closed financings with proceeds of $7,681,000, $5,775,000, $14,432,880 in September 2024, November 2024, and February 2025, respectively. Additionally, the Company’s Form S-3 became effective on December 11, 2024. The Company is currently exploring options on obtaining additional equity financing which there can be no guarantee. Management has concluded that these recent positive developments alleviate any substantial doubt about our ability to continue our operations, and meet our financial obligations, for twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Management does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
