EXPLANATARY NOTE
AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”) and filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three, six, and nine months ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 on May 15, 2023, August 14, 2023, and November 13, 2023, respectively, (collectively referred to has the “Original 2023 Form 10-Qs”) and filed quarterly reports for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 on May 15, 2024 and August 14, 2024, respectively, (collectively referred to has the “Original 2024 Form 10-Qs”). Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K and the Original 2023 and 2024 Form 10-Qs for the year end and interim periods during our fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024, we identified an error that was present in all aforementioned filings.
On November 7, 2024, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 should no longer be relied upon due to the errors discussed below and require restatement.
We plan to file an amendment to the Original Form 10-K, correcting the error present at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and restate all of the quarterly financial information in the Original 2023 Form 10-Qs in the amendment to the Original Form 10-K.
This Form 10-Q restates the quarterly financial statements periods in the Original 2024 Form 10-Qs and their comparative prior periods. See Note 12 included in this Form 10-Q to the accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements for further details of the correction of the errors and a summary of the impact on the quarterly consolidated financial statements for all periods impacted by the error, which was isolated to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Background of Restatement
Subsequent to the filing of our Original Form 10-K and Original Form 2024 and 2023 10-Qs, management identified an error in the computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders and total comprehensive loss as presented on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss included in the Original Form 10-K and Original Form 2024 and 2023 10-Qs. The error in the computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders resulted in an understatement of net loss per common share basic and diluted as presented on our consolidated statements of operations and an overstatement of comprehensive loss for the quarterly periods included in the Original 2024 and Original 2023 Form 10-Qs and the fiscal year ends included in the Original Form 10-K.
The net loss attributable to common stockholders erroneously excluded accrued cumulative dividends on outstanding Series F preferred stock and deemed dividends resulting from the triggering of down round features embedded within outstanding equity-linked financial instruments. Pursuant to ASC 260 Earnings Per Share, income (loss) available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock. Also, the value of the effect of a down round feature shall be recognized in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument when the down round feature is triggered. That effect shall be treated as a dividend and as an increase to net loss available to common stockholders in computation of earnings per share.
Further, the accrued cumulative dividends and deemed dividends were included as a component of other comprehensive loss. However, pursuant to ASC 220 – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income items required to be reported as direct adjustments to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings are not considered to be components of other comprehensive income (loss).

Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. The Company has identified a computation error of net loss attributable to common stockholders resulting in an understatement of net loss per common share basic and diluted as presented on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss that is presented in the previously filed 10-K and will be amending the previous filed 10-K. The results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or any future year or periods.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AgEagle and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AgEagle Aerial, Inc., Measure Global, Inc. and senseFly. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
A description of certain of the Company’s accounting policies and other financial information is included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation-Continued
Liquidity
and Going Concern – In pursuit of the Company’s long-term growth strategy and acquisitions, the Company has sustained
continued operating losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $
If the Company is unable to generate significant sales growth in the near term and raise additional capital, there is a risk that the Company could default on additional obligations; and could be required to discontinue or significantly reduce the scope of its operations if no other means of financing operations are available. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to US GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties – Global economic challenges, including natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other adverse weather and climate conditions; unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, labor unrest, and other political instability; or other catastrophic events, such as disasters occurring at our manufacturing facilities, could disrupt our operations or the operations of one or more of our vendors. The aforementioned risks and their respective impacts on the UAV industry and the Company’s operational and financial performance remains uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. Specifically, because of the aforementioned continuing risks, the Company’s ability to access components and parts needed in order to manufacture its proprietary drones and sensors, and to perform quality testing have been, and continue to be, impacted. If either the Company or any of its third parties in the supply chain for materials used in our manufacturing and assembly processes continue to be adversely impacted, the Company’s supply chain may be disrupted, limiting its ability to manufacture and assemble products.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the reserve for obsolete inventory, valuation of intangible assets, and valuation of goodwill.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Continued
The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | |
| ● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
For short-term classes of our financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, their carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The outstanding loan related to the COVID Loans is carried at face value, which approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis.
Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Continued
Allowance
for Credit Losses - We establish allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable, under ASC 326-20-55-37. The adequacy of these
allowances is assessed quarterly through consideration of factors such as customer credit ratings, bankruptcy filings, published or estimated
credit default rates, age of the receivable, expected loss rates and collateral exposures. Collateral exposure is the excess of the carrying
value of a financial asset over the fair value of the related collateral. We determine the creditworthiness of our customers by assigning
internal credit ratings based upon publicly available information and information obtained directly from the customers. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an allowance for credit losses of $ and $
Our net accounts receivable represents amounts billed and due from customers. Based on historical perspective, nearly all of our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 would be collected in calendar year 2024 because the majority of our accounts receivable are due from value added resellers (“VARs”) and sovereign governments, including the U.S. Department of Defense. However, under the new guidance, the Company has elected to recognize credit losses based on our collection history and our customers payment terms.
Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues are derived primarily through the sales of drones, sensors and related accessories, and software subscriptions. The Company utilized ASC Topic 606 and its related amendments, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Generally, we recognize revenue when it satisfies its obligation by providing the benefits of the service to the customer, either over time or at a point in time. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if one of the following criteria are met:
| a. | the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs; or | |
| b. | the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or | |
| c. | the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. |
Revenue recognition under ASC 606 as described below creates following revenue streams:
| ● | Sensor Sales – sales are recognized on products when the related goods have been shipped, title has passed to the customer, and there are no undeliverable elements or uncertainties. Amounts incurred related to shipping and handling are included in cost of revenue. | |
| ● | Drone Sales - sales are recognized on products when the related goods have been shipped, title has passed to the customer, and there are no undeliverable elements or uncertainties. Amounts incurred related to shipping and handling are included in cost of revenue. | |
| ● | Software Sales – are subscription sales of our software that are recognized equally over the membership period as the services are provided. |
The Company recognizes revenue on sales to customers, dealers, and distributors upon satisfaction of performance obligations which occurs once controls transfer to customers, which is when product is shipped or delivered depending on specific shipping terms and, where applicable, a customer acceptance has been obtained. The fee is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all material contingencies related to the sales have been resolved. The Company records revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss net of any sales and use, value added, or certain excise taxes imposed by governmental authorities on specific sales transactions and net of any discounts, allowances and returns.
Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, it will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. The Company accounts for a contract after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets from acquired businesses are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and consist of customer programs, trademarks, customer relationships, technology and other intangible assets. Customer programs include values assigned to major programs of acquired businesses and represent the aggregate value associated with the customer relationships, contracts, technology and trademarks underlying the associated program and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of expected cash flows used to measure fair value, which ranges from four to five years.

The Company has determined that it operates in four segments:
| ● | Drones, which comprises revenues earned from contractual arrangements to develop, manufacture and /or modify complex drone related products, and to provide associated engineering, technical and other services according to customer specifications. | |
| ● | Sensors, which comprises the revenue earned through the sale of sensors, cameras, and related accessories. | |

New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has released a final rule that requires registrants to provide comprehensive climate-related disclosures in their annual reports and registration statements, including those for IPOs, beginning with annual reports for the year ending December 31, 2027, for smaller reporting companies (“SRC”). Registrants must disclose climate-related financial metrics and impacts on their financial estimates and assumptions in a footnote to the audited financial statements. The disclosures will also need to be addressed as part of management’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and will be subject to the financial statement and ICFR audit (if applicable) of an independent registered public accounting firm. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the improvements to our disclosure.
In
December 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures
around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis,
a rate reconciliation presented in both dollars and percentages.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU will now require public entities to disclose its significant segment expenses categories and amounts for each reportable segment. Under the ASU, a significant segment expense is an expense that is:
| ● | significant to the segment, | |
| ● | regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and | |
| ● | included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. |
The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (calendar year public entity will adopt the ASU in its 2024 Form 10-K). The ASU should be adopted retrospectively unless it’s impracticable to do so. Early adoption of the ASU is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is expected to have a financial statement disclosure impact only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 – RESTATEMENT
The net loss attributable to common stockholders erroneously excluded accrued cumulative dividends on outstanding Series F preferred stock and deemed dividends resulting from the triggering of down round features embedded within outstanding equity-linked financial instruments. Pursuant to ASC 260 Earnings Per Share, income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock. Also, the value of the effect of a down round feature shall be recognized in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument when the down round feature is triggered. That effect shall be treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in basic and diluted earnings per share.
Further, the accrued cumulative dividends and deemed dividends were included as a component of other comprehensive loss. However, pursuant to ASC 220 – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income items required to be reported as direct adjustments to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings are not considered to be components of other comprehensive income (loss).
On November 7, 2024, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 should no longer be relied upon due to the errors discussed above and required restatement.
As a result of the restatement matter discussed in our Explanatory Note included in this Form 10-Q, the quarterly financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 are being effectively restated in this current Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, as follows:

Overview
AgEagle™ Aerial Systems Inc. (“AgEagle”, “Company”, “We”, “Our”, “Us”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is actively engaged in designing and delivering best-in-class drones, sensors and software that solve important problems for our customers. Founded in 2010, AgEagle was originally formed to pioneer proprietary, professional-grade, fixed-winged drones and aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions for the agriculture industry. AgEagle’s shift and expansion from solely manufacturing fixed-wing farm drones in 2018, to offering what we believe is one of the industry’s best fixed-wing, full-stack drone solutions, culminated in 2021 when we acquired three market-leading companies engaged in producing UAS airframes, sensors and software for commercial and government use. In addition to a robust portfolio of proprietary, connected hardware and software products; an established global network of over 200 UAS resellers; and enterprise customers worldwide; these acquisitions also brought AgEagle a highly valuable workforce comprised largely of experienced engineers and technologists with deep expertise in the fields of robotics, automation, manufacturing and data science. In 2022, we succeeded in integrating all three acquired companies with AgEagle to form one global company focused on taking autonomous flight performance to a higher level for a wider variety of markets, including defense , public safety, and agriculture/commercial customers.
AgEagle has also achieved numerous regulatory firsts, earning governmental approvals for its commercial and tactical drones to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (“BVLOS”) and/or Operations Over People (“OOP”) in the United States, Canada, Brazil and the European Union.
AgEagle is led by a proven management team with years of drone industry experience and is currently headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, where we house our business and sensor manufacturing operations; and we operate drone manufacturing operations in Lausanne, Switzerland in support of our international business activities.

| ● | In August 2022, we announced that the eBee X, eBee GEO and eBee AG were the first commercial drones to be designated with the C2 class identification label in accordance with EASA regulations. As of August 22, 2022, drone operators flying C2 labeled eBees are able to conduct missions in the “Open Category” with all the advantages that this entails. The C2 certification allows the eBee X series, with correct labelling, to fly at a horizontal distance of 30 meters from uninvolved people. By contrast, heavy drones like VTOLs or quadcopters must maintain a distance of 150 meters from people and any residential, commercial, industrial and recreational areas, limiting their operational capabilities to remote zones. | |
| ● | In late 2022, we partnered with government contractor Darley to expand the market reach of AgEagle’s high performance fixed wing drones and sensors to the U.S. first responder and tactical defense markets. Distinguished as one of the nation’s longest standing government contracting organizations, Darley is expected to become a key contributor to AgEagle’s success in delivering best-in-class UAS solutions to a wide range of state and federal agencies. Providing our best-in-class autonomous flight solutions for public safety applications through trusted resellers like Darley represents an entirely new market opportunity for AgEagle and one we intend to vigorously pursue in the current year. | |
| ● | In December 2022, we unveiled our new eBee™ VISION, a small, fixed-wing UAS designed to provide real-time, enhanced situational awareness for critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. This system is packaged for mobile/tactical users, with highly automated command and control software that proves compatible and is in full compliance with the U.S. DoD Robotic and Autonomous System-Air Interoperability Profile (“RAS-A IOP”). Beginning 2023, three branches of the European military have received eBee VISION drones. In collaboration with these initial end users, we’ve meticulously designed the eBee VISION User Interface to ensure optimal usability and compatibility with commercial, professional, and NATO standards. This unique interface, when paired with the eBee VISION Ground Control Station, offers highly automated flight modes and precise telemetry to operators, enhancing overall operational efficiency and effectiveness. |
| 41 |
| ● | AgEagle was awarded a Multiple Award Schedule (“MAS”) Contract by the U.S. federal government’s General Services Administration (“GSA”) – In April 2023, the centralized procurement arm of the federal government, the GSA, awarded us with a five-year MAS contract. The GSA Schedule Contract is a highly coveted award in the government contracting space and is the result of a rigorous proposal process involving the demonstration of products and services in-demand by government agencies, and the negotiation of their prices, qualifications, terms and conditions. Contractors selling through the GSA Contract are carefully vetted and must have a proven track record in the industry. We believe that this will serve to advance our efforts to achieve deeper penetration of the government sector over the next five years. | |
| ● | In July 2023 alone, we completed a comprehensive training session with our first European military customers, who were confirmed as eBee VISION operators and qualified trainers of new users. These new customers confirmed with AgEagle’s technical teams that all operational capabilities of the eBee VISION continue to meet and exceed performance benchmarks in scouting, surveillance, usability, fast deployment and flight time, among other use case criteria specified by the international military community. We have also been working in close collaboration with our network of valued added reselling partners in France, United Kingdom, Poland, Italy and Spain, among other countries, to conduct live demonstrations and technical exchanges with prospective new customers, with emphasis on showcasing use of eBee VISION UAS for public safety and first responder missions, border patrol and a wide range of commercial applications. On September 6, 2023, the Company announced that commercial production of the eBee VISION had commenced and orders for the systems are being accepted since then. | |
| ● | In early October 2023, the eBee X series of drones were designated with the C6 class identification label in accordance with European Union regulations. As of January 1, 2024, drone operators of C6-labeled eBees will be able to conduct BVLOS operations with airspace observers over a controlled ground area in a sparsely populated environment throughout Europe. Operators simply need to submit a required declaration with their applicable National Aviation Authority indicating whether they intend to fly missions in accordance with the European Standard Scenario- (“STS-”) 01 or STS-02. The inclusion of the C6 marking alongside our C2-labeled eBee drones will significantly enhance the market advantages for our European customers. It grants access to areas and operational modes restricted to drones weighing over 4 kg, all without the requirement for formal permissions or regulatory waivers. Currently, only eBee drones possess both the C2 and C6 marking, affirming their status as the safest choice for flying over people and conducting BVLOS operations.

| ● | In March of 2024, we were selected to provide 50 RedEdge-P cameras for use by Greece’s Hellenic Republic Ministry of Rural Development. These will be used for optimum monitoring of agricultural activity such as soil analysis, irrigation, crop quality/maturity, and vegetation indices, all critical to maximizing the output of agricultural products. This award serves as a continued validation of our product in a world focusing more and more on optimizing output for a rapidly growing population. Investment in our sensor product line continues, with focus on optimizing performance through introduction of new hardware and processing algorithms. |
| 42 |
| ● | Our eBee™ X series of fixed wing UAS, including the eBee X, eBee Geo and eBee TAC, were the first on the market to comply with Category 3 of the sUAS Over People rules published by the FAA. It is another important testament of our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions to our commercial customers, and we believe it will serve as a key driver in the growth of eBee utilization in the United States. We further believe it will improve the business applications made possible by our drone platform for a wide range of commercial enterprises which stand to benefit from adoption of drones in their businesses – particularly those in industries such as insurance for assessment of storm damage, telecommunications for network coverage mapping and energy for powerline and pipeline inspections, just to name a few. | |
| ● | Our eBee X series of drones are the world’s first UAS in its class to receive design verification for BVLOS and OOP from European Union Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”). The EASA design verification report demonstrates that the eBee X meets the highest possible quality and ground risk safety standards and, thanks to its lightweight design, effects of ground impact are reduced. As such, drone operators conducting advanced drone operations in 27 European Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland can obtain the HIGH or MEDIUM robustness levels of the M2 mitigation without additional verification from EASA. Regulatory constraints relating to limitations of BVLOS and OOP have continued to be a gating factor to widespread adoption of commercial drone technologies across a wide range of industry sectors worldwide. Being the first company to receive this DVR from EASA for M2 mitigation is a milestone for AgEagle and our industry in the European Union and will be key to fueling growth of our international customer base. |
Impact of the Risks and Uncertainties On Our Business Operations
Global economic challenges, including the impact of the war, pandemics, rising inflation and supply-chain disruptions, regulatory investigations adverse labor and capital market conditions could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The aforementioned risks and their respective impacts on the UAV industry and our operational and financial performance remain uncertain and outside of our control. Specifically, because of the aforementioned continuing risks, our ability to access components and parts needed in order to manufacture its proprietary drones and sensors, and to perform quality testing have been, and continue to be, impacted. If either we or any of our third parties in the supply chain for materials used in our manufacturing and assembly processes continue to be adversely impacted, our supply chain may be further disrupted, limiting its ability to manufacture and assemble products.

We are evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations and the restructuring of operations to grow revenues and reduce expenses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On September 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Inflation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, inflation has had a negative impact on the unmanned aerial vehicle systems industry, our customers, and our business globally. Specifically, our ability to access components, parts and labor needed to manufacture its proprietary drones and sensors, and to perform quality testing have been, and continue to be, impacted. If either the Company or any of its third parties in the supply chain for materials used in our manufacturing and assembly processes continue to be adversely impacted, our supply chain may be further disrupted, limiting its ability to manufacture and assemble products. We expect inflation and its effects to continue to have a significant negative impact on our business.
Climate Change
Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a rate reconciliation presented in both dollars and percentages. The guidance requires the rate reconciliation to include specific categories and provides further guidance on disaggregation of those categories based on a quantitative threshold equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by the applicable statutory rate. For entities reconciling to the US statutory rate of 21%, this would generally require disclosing any reconciling items that impact the rate by 1.05% or more. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (generally, calendar year 2025) and effective for all other business entities one year later. Entities should adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is expected to have a financial statement disclosure impact only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
| 46 |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU will now require public entities to disclose its significant segment expenses categories and amounts for each reportable segment. Under the ASU, a significant segment expense is an expense that is:
| ● | significant to the segment, | |
| ● | regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and | |
| ● | included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. |
The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (calendar year public entity will adopt the ASU in its 2024 Form 10-K). The ASU should be adopted retrospectively unless its impracticable to do so. Early adoption of the ASU is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is expected to have a financial statement disclosure impact only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024 and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized 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 to be reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(t) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weaknesses over Financial Reporting
During the preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2024, management identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to the computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders resulted in an understatement of Earnings Per Share (“EPS). In addition to the EPS computation error, accrued dividends and deemed dividends were included as a component of other comprehensive loss instead of being included in net loss attributable to common stockholders.
During the preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to the accounting for a complex debt transaction. Specifically, the controls related to accounting for the modification of the convertible debt agreement. The Company has engaged an external consultant with technical accounting expertise to help with the technical documentation and accounting of significant and unusual transactions.
