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”). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control), and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
As a result of these and other factors, we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee”) was incorporated as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc., in the state of Florida, on December 1, 2009. On April 7, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion to register and incorporate in the state of Delaware and changed the company name to Twin Vee PowerCats Co. The Certificate of Incorporation for Twin Vee PowerCats Co. was also filed on April 7, 2021.
On September 1, 2021, the Company formed Fix My Boat, Inc., (“Fix My Boat”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Fix My Boat will utilize a franchise model for marine mechanics across the country.
On October 15, 2021, the Company formed Electra Power Sports, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Electra Power Sports, Inc. subsequently changed its name to Forza X1, Inc. on October 29, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twin Vee and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fix My Boat, Inc., (“Fix My Boat”) and Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1” “Forza), collectively referred to as the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 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 expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
8
Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. Credit risk
on trade receivables is mitigated as a result of the Company’s use of trade letters of credit, dealer floor plan financing arrangements,
and the geographically diversified nature of the Company’s customer base. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk
associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in
excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit of $
Marketable Securities
Our investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, motors and trailers to its independent dealers. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. For the majority of sales, this occurs when the product is released to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer. The Company typically receives payment within five business days of shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product. The Company offers dealer incentives that include wholesale rebates, retail rebates and promotions, floor plan reimbursement or cash discounts, and other allowances that are recorded as reductions of revenues in net sales in the statements of operations. The consideration recognized represents the amount specified in a contract with a customer, net of estimated incentives the Company reasonably expects to pay. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue for dealer incentives is recorded at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments to incentive estimates are possible because actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Accrued dealer incentives are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Payment
received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit, which is included in contract liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheet. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had customer deposits of $
Rebates and Discounts
Dealers earn wholesale rebates based on purchase volume commitments and achievement of certain performance metrics. The Company estimates the amount of wholesale rebates based on historical achievement, forecasted volume, and assumptions regarding dealer behavior. Rebates that apply to boats already in dealer inventory are referred to as retail rebates. The Company estimates the amount of retail rebates based on historical data for specific boat models adjusted for forecasted sales volume, product mix, dealer and consumer behavior, and assumptions concerning market conditions. The Company also utilizes various programs whereby it offers cash discounts or agrees to reimburse its dealers for certain floor plan interest costs incurred by dealers for limited periods of time, generally ranging up to nine months.
Other Revenue Recognition Matters
Dealers generally have no right to return unsold boats. Occasionally, the Company may accept returns in limited circumstances and at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy. The Company may be obligated, in the event of default by a dealer, to accept returns of unsold boats under its repurchase commitment to floor financing providers, who are able to obtain such boats through foreclosure. The repurchase commitment is on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institution through the payment date by the dealer, generally not exceeding 30 months.
9
The Company has excluded sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority in connection with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Company has not adjusted net sales for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer’s payment is expected to be one year or less.
Supplier Concentrations
The Company is dependent on the ability of its suppliers to provide products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing terms. The loss of certain principal suppliers or a significant reduction in product availability from principal suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Business risk insurance is in place to mitigate the business risk associated with sole suppliers for sudden disruptions such as those caused by natural disasters.
The
Company is dependent on third-party equipment manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for certain parts and materials utilized in the
manufacturing process. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased all engines for its boats under a supply agreement
with a single vendor. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, total purchases to this vendor were $

5. Leases – Related Party
Operating
right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease
liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying
asset and is based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs,
lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate
incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. We used the U.S. Treasury rate of
The Company’s office lease contains rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for this office lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the Company’s right-of-use asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the right-of-use asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.
11
The
Company leases its office and warehouse facilities, and the land which are located at 3101 S US-1, Fort Pierce, Florida (the

Common Stock Warrants
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock issuable at a weighted-average exercise price of $ per share that were issued to the representative of the underwriters in connection with the IPO. The representative’s warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four- and one-half year period commencing 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement, which was July 23, 2021. There was no warrant activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Equity Compensation Plan
The Company maintains an equity compensation plan (the “Plan’) under which it may award employees, directors and consultants’ incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards with terms established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which has been appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the plan. The number of awards under the Plan automatically increased on January 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, there were shares remaining available for grant under this plan.
Accounting for Stock -Based Compensation
Stock Compensation Expense - For the three ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $ and $ , respectively, of stock-based compensation expense.
Stock Options. Under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan the Company has issued stock options. A stock option grant gives the holder the right, but not the obligation to purchase a certain number of shares at a predetermined price for a specific period of time. The Company typically issues options that vest pro rata on a monthly basis over various periods. Under the terms of the Plan, the contractual life of the option grants may not exceed ten years.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant. The Company utilized the following assumptions for option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

March 31, | ||||
2022 | ||||
Expected term | years | |||
Expected average volatility | % | |||
Expected dividend yield | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | – | % |
The expected volatility of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock price of comparable boat manufacturing companies. The Company estimated the expected life of the options granted based upon historical weighted average of comparable boat manufacturing companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Department of the Treasury yield curve rates with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company has never paid a dividend, and as such the dividend yield is 0.0%

The Company reported its financial performance based on the following segments: Gas-powered Boats, Franchise and Electric Boats.

Net sales for business segments are generally based on the sale of boats and the sale of franchises. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.

13. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated all additional events subsequent to the balance sheet date through to May 10, 2022, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and determined the following items:
On April 28, 2022, Twin Vee and Forza requested a release and termination of our vacant land contract. This contract provided us with an option to acquire 14.5 acres of undeveloped land in Fort Pierce, Florida. On December 6, 2021, the Company paid a refundable deposit on the land purchase agreement. It has since been determined that the cost associated with building on that site is prohibitive and the Company is looking for a new site to build the Forza factory.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. You should also review the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We are a designer, manufacturer and marketer of recreational and commercial power catamaran boats. We believe our company has been an innovator in the recreational and commercial power catamaran industry. We currently have 8 gas-powered models in production ranging in size from our 24-foot, dual engine, center console to our newly designed 40-foot offshore 400 GFX. Our twin-hull catamaran running surface, known as a symmetrical catamaran hull design, adds to the Twin Vee ride quality by reducing drag, increasing fuel efficiency, and offering users a stable riding boat. Twin Vee’s home base operations in Fort Pierce Florida is a 7.5-acre facility with several buildings totaling over 75,000 square feet. We employed approximately 140 people on March 31, 2022, some of whom have been with our company for over twenty years.
We have organized our business into three operating segments: (i) our gas-powered boat segment which manufactures and distributes gas-powered boats; (ii) our electric-powered boat segment which is developing fully electric boats, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Forza X1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forza”) and (iii) our franchise segment which is developing a standard product offering and will be selling franchises across the United States through our wholly owned subsidiary, Fix My Boat, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
Our gas-powered boats allow consumers to use them for a wide range of recreational activities including fishing, diving and water skiing and commercial activities including transportation, eco tours, fishing and diving expeditions. We believe that the performance, quality and value of our boats position us to achieve our goal of increasing our market share and expanding the power catamaran boating market. We currently primarily sell our boats through a current network of 20 independent boat dealers in 25 locations across North America and the Caribbean who resell our boats to the end user Twin Vee customers. We continue recruiting efforts for high quality boat dealers and seek to establish new dealers and distributors domestically and internationally to distribute our boats as we grow our production and introduce new models. Our gas-powered boats are currently outfitted with gas-powered outboard combustion engines.
Due to the growing demand for sustainable, environmentally friendly electric and alternative fuel commercial and recreational vehicles, our wholly owned subsidiary, Forza X1, Inc., is designing and developing a line of electric-powered catamaran boats ranging in size from 18-feet to 28-feet. Forza’s initial two models, the FX1 Dual Console and FX1 Center Console, are being designed to be 24-foot in length, have an 8’ beam or width and utilize a catamaran hull surface to reduce drag and increase run times. The initial launch of FX1 will include our proprietary single electric outboard motor. Our electric boats are being designed as fully integrated electric boats including the hull, outboard motor and control system. To date, we have completed the design of the hull and running surface of the boat and have begun tooling the molds which are required to build the physical fiberglass boat, we have entered into a supply agreement for the supply of the lithium battery packs that we plan to use to power the electric boats, completed the design and prototyping of the boat control system, and completed the design and are more than halfway through prototyping of the electric outboard motor. We expect to begin production of our FX1 fully integrated electric boat and motor and commence selling to end user customers by the second quarter of 2023. We have also filed three design and four utility patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office relating to, among other things, our propulsion system being developed and boat design.
17
Through the first quarter of 2022, we continue to experience strong demand for our products. Our company objective is to add new, larger boat models to our GFX lineup, expand our dealers and distribution network, and increase unit production to fulfill our customer and dealer orders. For the first three months ended March 31, 2022, we increased our manufacturing throughput to an average of 4 boats a week. The increase in production drove our net revenue up 83% compared to 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. While driving our top line net sales growth, we are also experiencing increased labor costs. Our manufacturing process is labor intensive, and with the addition of new models to our production line we have added staff and expanded our training program.
Our goal continues to increase production to 5 boats per week which has resulted in an increase in operating expenses. More specifically, our headcount has increased and is expected to further increase as we hired additional production employees and midlevel managers resulting in higher salaries and wages. We continue focus on hiring highly qualified production and administrative staff to order to increase our productivity, drive efficiencies, and improve product quality. To help meet our production objectives we have also invested approximately $2.5 million in facility upgrades, capital equipment and molds.
As we move forward into the second quarter of 2022, we anticipate our operating income to be moderate toward breakeven for our core gas powered boat segment, however our electric boat division will continue to incur losses as we continue our research and development efforts.

Net Sales and Cost Sales
Our net sales increased $2,678,357, or 83% to $5,886,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $3,207,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was due to an increase in the number of boats sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The number of our boats produced and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 48% over the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to our production plan, which we continue to implement and refine, enabling us to produce more boats during the quarter. Additionally, we have increased our sale prices to help offset the increases in operating expenses, which includes increased labor cost, described below, as well as increased costs of production supplies. Our average revenue per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is up approximately 21% over revenue per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The average revenue per unit increase is due to an increase in boat pricing and a shift in product mix with higher margins. We discontinued our classic models and replaced them with our GFX models which generate more revenue per unit.
Gross Profit
Gross profits increased by $946,448, or 64% to $2,434,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1,487,906 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 41% and 46% respectively. We attribute the decline in gross profit percentage to increased cost of raw materials and purchased components. We anticipate continued pressure on our gross profit percentage due to price increases on raw materials and purchased components.
Total Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $3,482,507 and $1,333,144 respectively. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 59% compared to 42% in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 128%, or $382,896 to $682,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $299,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The large portion of the increase resulted from expenses totaling $236,896 incurred from being publicly traded company, which we did not incur in the prior year including, directors and officers insurance, filing fees, legal expenses and investor relations costs. We incurred significant increases in our liability insurance and workers compensation insurance totaling $51,498, an increase of 142%, due to our increased revenue levels and increased wages. Office related expenses increased $39,435 or 125%, due to increased staffing levels and work volume. We also saw an increase in travel related expenses of $26,674 or 449%, due to our Forza segment for research and design efforts. Other miscellaneous items make up the remaining $28,393 of increased selling, general and administrative expense.
Salaries, wages and other compensation expenses increased by approximately 143%, or $1,325,640 to $2,253,810 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $928,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Total salaries and wages increased by $888,933 as a result of aggressively ramping up of production, which required increasing our production and mid-level staff. Included in salaries and wages for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was a charge for non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $224,832 due to the issuance of options to employees and consultants. As we have grown as an organization, we have added benefits to maintain a competitive workforce by adding paid time off, a 401K program, paid holidays and health insurance, which resulted in increased expenses of $92,601. We have also incurred production and executive bonus expense of $68,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $21,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $46,819, as a result of meeting our production first quarter production objectives. Our compensation to the Board of Directors for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $20,750 and $0, respectively. During the first half of 2021 we were not required to have a Board and did not incur the related expense. The remaining increase, approximately $63,300 of salaries and wages during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was associated with payroll taxes.
Professional fees increased by 315%, or $185,713 to $244,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $59,026 for the year ended 2021. This increase was primarily due to the additional costs we incurred associated with being a public company and included an increase in audit, legal and related consulting fees in order to fulfill our public company SEC reporting obligations.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 72%, or $33,569 to $80,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $46,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Over the past year we made significant investments in equipment, leasehold improvements and boat molds that resulted in an increased our depreciation expense.
19
Research and design expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $221,545 compared to $0, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These expenses are primarily associated with our development of our electric propulsion system for Forza X1.
Other expense increased by $120,351 to $143,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $22,813 for the three months ended, 2021. The increase in other expense is primarily the result of $85,538 in net change in fair value of marketable securities. Interest expense increased $22,128 to $39,840, and we incurred a net of loss on disposal of assets of $18,408.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1,191,317, compared to net income of $131,949 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. While our revenue levels increased, our expenses also increased as we continue to invest in our operations to improve production levels. That coupled with the additional expenses associated with being a public company and our research and development efforts for our electric boat division, resulted in a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022. With these investments, we are building the foundation for our future, not only for our gas powered boats, but also for our electric boat division. We continue to deal with the fallout of the global pandemic, as well as the impact of additional costs of growth, but are encouraged by our continued increase in revenue. Basic and dilutive loss per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022, ($0.17) compared to basic and dilutive income per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021, $0.03.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A primary source of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was from cash from operation and use of proceeds from our IPO. Our primary use of cash was related to increasing inventory levels to meet the high level of demand coupled with the current supply chain challenges. With uncertainty on component availability, prolonged lead time and rising prices, we have been bringing in inventory far earlier than in previous years.
The following table provide selected financial data about us as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, we had sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet ongoing expenses for at least twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2022, we had $11,039,423 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, total current assets of $12,606,264, and total assets of $20,501,774. Our total liabilities were $4,768,559. Our total liabilities were comprised of current liabilities of $3,122,630 which included accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,629,731, due to affiliated companies of $115,043 and current portion of operating lease right of use liability of $377,856, and long-term liabilities of $1,645,929. As of December 31, 2021, we had $13,039,399 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, total current assets of $13,073,346 and total assets of $20,5995,184. Our total current liabilities were $2,155,420 and total liabilities of $3,899,484 which included long-term operating lease liabilities for the lease of our facility.
Accumulated deficit was $3,208,873 as of March 31, 2022 compared to accumulated deficit of $2,017,556 as of December 31, 2021.
Our working capital decreased by $1,434,292 to $9,483,634 as of March 31, 2022, compared to $10,917,926 on December 31, 2021, due primarily to increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
20
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient resources to finance operations for the next 12 months. In addition to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, we anticipate that we will be able to rely, in part, on cash flows from operations in order to meet our liquidity and capital expenditure needs in the next year as well as proceeds from our initial public offering.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,149,673 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $189,898 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We have increased inventory levels by $1,413,413, due to supply chain delays that continue to impact lead time and parts availability, this is further emphasized by our production ramp up. Accounts payable increased $768,632, which is also associated with our increased bring in of inventory. Our accrued liabilities increased $203,424, primarily due to accrued rebate expense and accrued professional fees. Our net loss from operation was $1,191,317, was decreased by non-cash expenses of $597,649, primarily due to stock-based compensation of $224,832, change of right-of-use asset and lease liabilities of $93,106, loss on disposal of assets of $18,408, net change in fair value of marketable securities of $85,538 and depreciation of $80,092.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used by financing activities was approximately $116,394, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $457,866. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $116,394 for deferred offering cost relating to Forza.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of our operations:
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial.
Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit, which is included in contract liabilities on the balance sheet. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States “U.S. GAAP” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in those estimates are assumptions about allowances for inventory obsolescence, useful life of fixed assets, warranty reserves and bad-debt reserves.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.
22
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts. If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value, based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.
Product Warranty Costs
As required by FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees, we are including the following disclosure applicable to our product warranties.
We accrue for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. Our warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate.
Leases
We adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), using the modified retrospective adoption method with an effective date of January 1, 2019. This standard requires all lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments.
Under Topic 842, we applied a dual approach to all leases whereby we are a lessee and classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by us. Lease classification is evaluated at the inception of the lease agreement.
Paycheck Protection Program
U.S. GAAP does not contain authoritative accounting standards for forgivable loans provided by governmental entities to a for-profit entity. Absent authoritative accounting standards, interpretative guidance issued and commonly applied by financial statement preparers allows for the selection of accounting policies amongst acceptable alternatives. Based on the facts and circumstances, the Company determined it most appropriate to account for the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds as an in-substance government grant by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20 “(IAS 20)”, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Under the provisions of IAS 20, “a forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.” IAS 20 does not define “reasonable assurance”; however, based on certain interpretations, it is analogous to “probable” as defined in FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20-20 under U.S. GAAP, which is the definition we have applied to our expectations of PPP loan forgiveness. Under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in earnings on a systematic basis over the periods in which we recognize costs for which the grant is intended to compensate (i.e., qualified expenses). Further, IAS 20 permits for the recognition in earnings either (1) separately under a general heading such as other income, or (2) as a reduction of the related expenses. We have elected to recognize government grant income separately within other income to present a clearer distinction in its financial statements between its operating income and the amount of net income resulting from the PPP loan and forgiveness.
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations.
23
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such a date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.
We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting.
Remediation Plan
Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the disclosed material weaknesses. We are actively recruiting to retain a full-time controller and we are utilizing the assistance of outside advisors where appropriate.
To remediate the existing material weaknesses, additional time is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As of March 31, 2022, the material weakness has not been remediated.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a 15(f) and 15d 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, ”Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.
Our operations and performance depend on global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions. Russia’s invasion and military attacks on Ukraine have triggered significant sanctions from U.S. and European leaders. These events are currently escalating and creating increasingly volatile global economic conditions. Resulting changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by Russia, its allies and other affected countries, including China, resulting in a “trade war.” Furthermore, if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues for a long period of time, or if other countries, including the U.S., become further involved in the conflict, we could face significant adverse effects to our business and financial condition.
The above factors, including a number of other economic and geopolitical factors both in the U.S. and abroad, could ultimately have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including the following:
● | effects of significant changes in economic, monetary and fiscal policies in the U.S. and abroad including currency fluctuations, inflationary pressures and significant income tax changes; |
● | a global or regional economic slowdown in any of our market segments; |
● | changes in government policies and regulations affecting the Company or its significant customers; |
● | industrial policies in various countries that favor domestic industries over multinationals or that restrict foreign companies altogether; |
● | new or stricter trade policies and tariffs enacted by countries, such as China, in response to changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs; |
● | postponement of spending, in response to tighter credit, financial market volatility and other factors; |
● | rapid material escalation of the cost of regulatory compliance and litigation; |
● | difficulties protecting intellectual property; |
● | longer payment cycles; |
● | credit risks and other challenges in collecting accounts receivable; and |
● | the impact of each of the foregoing on outsourcing and procurement arrangements. |

We have incurred losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 and could continue to incur losses in the future.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of $1,048,153 and a net loss of $1,191,317. For the year ended December 31, 2021 we incurred a loss from operations of $1,630,721 and a net loss of $1,011,009. As of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.2 million. There can be no assurance that expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs and to generate income from operations and net income.
We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.
We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and in accordance with GAAP. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
We have not yet retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from our international expansion. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
26
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
(a) | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
None.
(b) | Use of Proceeds. |
On July 22, 2021, we closed our initial public offering pursuant to which we offered and sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $6.00 per share (for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,000,000), pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended) (File No. 333-255134), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 20, 2021, as amended by the Registration Statement on Form S-1 MEF (File No. 333-258058) filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021 and effective as of the date of filing. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1,260,000, and other offering expenses payable by us of approximately $1,567,150, we received approximately $15,849,037 in net proceeds from our initial public offering. ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. acted as the representative of the several underwriters for the offering. We also granted a 45-day option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase up to 450,000 additional shares of common stock solely to cover over-allotments, if any, which expired unexercised.
At the time of the initial public offering, the primary use of the net proceeds was as follows: (i) approximately $1,500,000 for production and marketing of our larger fully equipped boats.; (ii) approximately $2,500,000 for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our new line of electric boats; (iii) approximately $6,000,000 for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our fully electric propulsion system; (iv) approximately $3,500,000 for acquisition of waterfront property and development of the Electra Power Sports- EV Innovation & Testing Center, in Fort Pierce, Florida to build, design and manufacture our electric propulsion systems and (v) the balance for working capital.
It was originally anticipated that we would retrofit a gas-powered boat with an electric motor that would be designed by us and that we would also sell the motors to other third-party boat manufacturers to retrofit their boats. The retrofitting would require extensive development, testing and manufacturing of multiple variations of electric motors. However, consumer preference in the electric marine market was and is trending towards a single purchase of a fully integrated electric boat rather than a retrofitted existing gas and diesel fuel powered boat with electric outboard motors and battery packs. Therefore, we decided not to continue designing electric motors for retrofitting, resulting in us no longer needing any funding for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our fully electric propulsion system and instead those funds are anticipated to be used for working capital needs. The remaining planned use of proceeds has not changed since the initial public offering.
