  A. Fat Shark Acquisition

 

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with Greg French (“French”), the founder and sole shareholder of Fat Shark Holdings (“Fat Shark”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fat Shark and its subsidiaries. The transaction closed on November 2, 2020 and was valued at $8,354,076 based on (i) the issuance of 5,227,273 shares of common stock with a value of $6,351,076 on the date of closing (ii) a senior secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,753,000, and (iii) a cash payment of $250,000. The Share Purchase Agreement included indemnification provisions, a two year non-compete agreement, and registration rights for the shares issued in the transaction.

 

A summary of the purchase price and its related allocation was as follows:

  B. Skypersonic Acquisition

 

In May 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Skypersonic, Inc. (“Skypersonic”) in exchange for $3,000,000 of our common stock. The number of shares issuable was based on the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of our common stock for the 20 trading days ending May 7, 2021. Based on a VWAP of $4.0154, the Company issued 747,124 shares. In addition, the Company also agreed to issue 110,000 shares of common stock to a shareholder. For accounting purposes, the 857,124 shares were valued at $3,291,356 based on the closing price of our common stock of $3.84 on May 7, 2021. Prior to the closing, the Company provided $75,000 to Skypersonic to fund its operating costs. This amount was capitalized as part of the purchase price. In October 2021, the Company and Skypersonic agreed to a reduction in the purchase price of $601,622 which resulted in the cancellation of 149,829 shares held in escrow.

Based on the net amount payable of $10,872,753, and a VWAP of $2.908 for the twenty trading days ending August 31, 2022, the Company issued 3,738,911 of common stock. For accounting purposes, the shares were valued at $10,431,562 based on the closing price of our common stock of $2.79 on August 31, 2021. In December 2021, the Company and Teal agreed to a reduction in the purchase price of $438,058 which resulted in the cancellation of 150,639 shares held in escrow. The Stock Consideration may be increased if Teal attains certain revenue levels in the 24-month period following the closing.  The additional consideration begins at $4 million if sales total at least $18 million and ends at $16 million if sales total $36 million.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial and Other Information

 

There is no pro forma financial information for the nine months ended January 31, 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:

             
    Nine months ended January 31, 2022
    Red Cat   Teal   Consolidated
Revenues   $ 5,116,741     $ 416,063     $ 5,532,804  
                         
Net Loss     (6,863,190 )     (1,467,770 )     (8,330,960 )

 

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 each respective acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisitions closed on the dates 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 Skypersonic relates to the future customers expected to leverage its “Fly Anywhere” technologies in a wide range of commercial environments.  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.
