Organization

 

Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee” or the “Company”) 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. Fix My Boat has been inactive for the majority of 2024 and on July 23, 2024, Fix My Boat, Inc. was merged into Twin Vee PowerCats Co.

 

On April 20, 2023, the Company formed AquaSport Co., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the state of Florida in connection with the Company’s plan to lease the assets of former AQUASPORT™ boat brand and manufacturing facility in White Bluff, Tennessee. On July 30, 2024, AquaSport Co. was merged into Twin Vee PowerCats Co.

 

Forza X1, Inc. was initially incorporated as Electra Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, and subsequently changed its name to Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1” or “Forza”) on October 29, 2021. Prior to Forza’s incorporation on October 15, 2021, the electric boat business was operated as the Company’s Electra Power Sports™ Division. Following the Company’s initial public offering that closed on July 23, 2021 (the “IPO”), it determined in October 2021 that for several reasons, it would market the Company’s new independent line of electric boats under a new brand name (and new subsidiary).

 

 On November 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Twin Vee, Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc. and Forza, Merger Sub was merged with and into Forza (the “Merger”), with Forza surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Twin Vee. At the effective time of the Merger, (a) each outstanding share of common stock of Forza , par value $0.001 per share of Forza (the “Forza Common Stock”) (other than any shares held by Twin Vee) was converted into the right to receive 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Twin Vee Common Stock”), (b) each outstanding Forza stock option, whether vested or unvested, that had not previously been exercised prior to such time was converted into an option to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee Common Stock for each share of Forza Common Stock covered by such option, (c) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Forza Common Stock was assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee Common Stock for each share of Forza Common Stock for which such warrant was exercisable for prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the 7,000,000 shares of Forza Common Stock held by Twin Vee were cancelled.

 

On March 26, 2025, the Company formed WIZZ BANGER, INC., a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Florida in connection with the Company’s plan to develop an enhanced used boat marketplace leveraging the recently acquired URLs, Boatsforsale.com and Yachtsforsale.com.

 

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

Our unaudited financial statement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are issued. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twin Vee and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025, Forza X1 and WIZZ BANGER, INC., collectively referred to as the “Company”. Prior to November 26, 2024, the Company’s net loss excludes losses attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company reported noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

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, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 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, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

 

As of the close of trading on April 7, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), in order to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement of Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), Twin Vee effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-10, and began trading on a reverse-split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq as of the open of trading on April 8, 2025 under the existing ticker symbol “VEEE.” The par value of the Company’s common stock was unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet attributable to the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Split ratio of one-for-10 and the additional paid-in capital account was credited with the amount by which the stated capital was reduced.

 

Revenue Recognition

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 the Company 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 liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had customer deposits of $12,500 and $80,000, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Rebates and Discounts

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 six months. These floor plan interest costs are treated as a reduction in the revenue recognized on the sale at an amount estimated at the time of sale.

 

Other Revenue Recognition Matters

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.

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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.

 

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

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 $250,000 are at risk. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $4,443,469 and $6,740,623, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less at the time of purchase. On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $5,125,384 and $7,706,240, respectively. Included within restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets was cash deposited as collateral for irrevocable letters of credit of $215,117 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s 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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
     
  Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
     
  Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.

 

Financial instruments measured as fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires it to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts receivable and payable, and other financial instruments in current assets or current liabilities.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s Accounts Receivable is derived from third party financing arrangements that its dealers utilize to finance the purchase of its boats. This “floorplan financing” is collateralized by the finished boat, and cash payment is received within 3-5 days of the finance company’s approval of the dealer’s purchase. At the end of a reporting period, some payment(s) may not yet have been received from the financing company, which creates a temporary account receivable that will be satisfied in just a few days. As such, the Company’s Accounts Receivable at any point in time are 100% collectable, and no valuation adjustment is necessary. Therefore, there is no allowance for credit losses on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost method on a first-in first -out basis. 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. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $160,676 and $134,032, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, using the straight-line method over the assets’ useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the assets’ useful life or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from three to five years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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. An impairment charge of $1,674,000 was recorded against the Forza building under construction in the second quarter of 2024 based on a third-party appraisal.

 

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale

 

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company classified $4,306,896 of building and land in Marion, North Carolina as assets held for sale under ASC 360 and included it as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. In 2024, the company completed the merger of Forza X1, Inc. and ceased the expenditures related to the development of electric boats. The building is now being marketed for sale. While the timing of the sale is uncertain, the Company expects the sale to be completed within one year. In June 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of the building of $1,674,000 to reduce the carrying cost of the building to its estimated net realizable value. There are no liabilities associated with this asset.

 

Advertising

Advertising

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled $10,922 and $34,589, respectively.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses research and development costs relating to new product development as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, research and development costs amounted to $0 and $149,691, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs include those costs incurred to transport products to customers and internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has been transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost. The Company includes shipping and handling costs, including costs billed to customers, in cost of sales in the statements of operations. All manufactured boats are free on board (FOB) from the Fort Pierce manufacturing plant. Dealers are required to either pick up the boats themselves or contracts with a transporter. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, shipping and handling costs amounted to $51,846 and $134,466, respectively.

 

Leases

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding ROU asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expenses for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Product Warranty Costs

 

Product Warranty Costs

 

The Company accrues 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. The Company’s warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. The company’s warranty liability is included in the accrued liabilities line item of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Supplier Concentrations

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, 2025, the Company purchased all engines and certain composite materials for its boats under supplier agreements with three vendors. Total purchases from these vendors were $837,646. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased all engines and certain composite materials for its boats under supplier agreements with three vendors. Total purchases from these vendors were $1,870,425.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period for the fair value of awards that vest.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year 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 that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is entirely dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosures of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported segment measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the chief operating decision maker and expands interim segment disclosure requirements. The adoption did not impact how the Company identifies its one reportable segment.

 

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (“ASU 2027-03”), effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses and a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its future disclosures.
