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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza” or the “Company”) was initially incorporated as Electra Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, but subsequently changed its name to Forza X1, Inc. on October 29, 2021. The Company’s parent company was incorporated in the State of Florida as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc. on December 1, 2009, and reincorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2021, as Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee”).

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. The Company explored strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co. As part of this decision, the Company obtained an appraisal of its partially constructed facility in Monroe, NC and evaluated the carrying costs of its assets, primarily its inventory and fixed assets. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of $1,674,000 against the carrying cost of its partially constructed building at June 30, 2024. The Company has evaluated any material liabilities resulting from this action and has determined that there are no additional material liabilities to be recorded as of June 30, 2024.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial statements and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on 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 financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product.

 

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer deposits of $6,175 and $5,700, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. These deposits are not expected to be recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

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 useful life of fixed assets.

 

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 the purchase. On June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,188,879 and $9,821,531, respectively.

 

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

 

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.

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

 

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. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $7,688,879 and $9,557,799, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which are raw materials for upcoming production, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method using 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 Goods Sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $640,230 and $351,158, respectively.

 

2. Liquidity

  

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $8,188,879 and $7,968,609, respectively, compared to $9,821,531 and $12,527,625, respectively, on December 31, 2023. On June 12, 2023 the Company completed a public offering that closed on June 14, 2023, which increased its cash by $6,929,552. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,999,391 and 3,488,786, respectively. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the research and development efforts coupled with no operating revenue.

 

The Company has no current source of revenue and may seek additional equity and/or debt financing. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

3. Marketable Securities

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no 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.

Forza’s 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)- Forza 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. Forza 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 June 30, 2024:

 

       
      Three months ended  
      June 30,  
      2024  
Expected term     5 years  
Expected average volatility     108-113%  
Expected dividend yield      
Risk-free interest rate     2.98 - 4.72%  

 

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%

 

         
   Options Outstanding  Weighted Average   
   Number of  Weighted Average  Remaining life   
   Options  Exercise Price  (years)  Fair value of option

11. Subsequent Events

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. The Company explored strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co. As part of this decision, the Company obtained an appraisal of its partially constructed facility in Monroe, NC and evaluated the carrying costs of its assets, primarily its inventory and fixed assets. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of $1,674,000 against the carrying cost of its partially constructed building at June 30, 2024. The Company has evaluated any material liabilities resulting from this action and has determined that there are no additional material liabilities to be recorded as of June 30, 2024.

 

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Twin Vee and Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Vee (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than any shares held by Twin Vee), will be converted into the right to receive 0.61166627 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Twin Vee common stock, any fractional shares to be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Twin Vee common stock, for an aggregate of 5,355,000 shares of Twin Vee common stock. Each outstanding stock option exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock that is outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a stock option to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such stock option for shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such warrant for shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment for ant reverse stock split. In addition, at the Effective Time the 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Twin Vee will be cancelled.

 

The completion of the Merger by each of Twin Vee and the Company is subject to customary conditions, including (1) (A) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders (which approval shall include a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Company’s annual meeting excluding shares held by us) and (B) approval of the Share Issuance by Twin Vee’s shareholders, (2) authorization for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market of the shares of Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, subject to official notice of issuance, (3) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 for Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, and (4) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Mergers illegal. Each party’s obligation to complete the Mergers is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Twin Vee, in its capacity as the Company’s principal stockholder, has agreed to vote the shares of Forza common stock held by it for the approval and adoption of the Merger only if a majority of the Company’s other stockholders present in person or by proxy at the Forza annual meeting vote to approve and adopt the Merger.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Twin Vee and the Company. In addition, either the Company or Twin Vee may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by December 1, 2024.

 

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2024 through August 15, 2024, which is the date that the condensed financial statements were available to be issued. During this period, there were no additional material subsequent events.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2024 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 were founded with a mission to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating by producing stylish electric sport boats designed to offer a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient alternative to traditional gasoline-powered boats. We have been focused on the creation, implementation and sale of electric boats utilizing our electric vehicle (“EV”) technology to control and power our boats and proprietary outboard electric motor.

 

We have not completed the development of our electric boats or electric outboard motor. Three different protypes of the electric boat have been built. We have completed the design phase of our outboard motor and was most recently in the prototype phase before the decision to wind down operations.

 

Industry Trends

 

The past year has seen a marked deceleration in the global demand for recreational marine vehicles, influenced heavily by economic uncertainties and shifting consumer priorities. This slowdown reflects broader trends affecting the recreational vehicle industries at large, including electric vehicles (EVs). Notably, the global shift towards EV adoption has been much slower than initially anticipated. Several leading automotive manufacturers have adjusted their strategies, accordingly, including halting the construction of dedicated EV factories.

 

The slower-than-expected adoption rates have led to cautious consumer spending and investment in EV technology, directly impacting our market. Specifically, the electric boat segment has experienced even more sluggish growth than the automotive sector. In addition, while Forza’s electric boats are still in the development stage, many of the larger players in the boat industry, such as Mercury Marine, have completed their development efforts and have brought their electric outboard motors to market.

 

Despite these challenges, we have managed to sustain operations through strategic adjustments, including cost management and a focus on strategic partnerships. We have implemented measures that have reduced cash burn and conserved cash reserves while seeking to leverage our technological advancements through strategic collaborations and partnerships to enhance shareholder value. We have responded to the industry challenges by tightening our financial reins to mitigate the impacts of reduced demand with a view toward long-term sustainability.

 

We are enacting the following key measures:

  

  1. Capital Expenditure Reduction: With the exception of our new facility, capital expenditures have been significantly curtailed, focusing only on essential maintenance and strategically critical projects. Non-essential development has been postponed or re-evaluated based on stringent ROI analyses.

 

  2. Workforce Optimization: Although a difficult decision, we have optimized our workforce to align with current production needs and financial realities. This includes a temporary freeze on hiring and, regrettably, reductions in areas where the workload has decreased. These measures are designed to preserve as many jobs as possible while maintaining financial viability.

 

  3. Expense Management: We are scrutinizing all expenses, from administrative to marketing, ensuring that only those that are essential and offer clear value are maintained or increased. This has also involved renegotiating contracts and seeking better terms from suppliers to reduce costs without compromising quality.

Through these focused financial strategies and strategic partnerships, we aim to not only navigate the current market challenges but also set the stage for future growth and success. Our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and shareholder value guides our every decision.

 

Recent Developments

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, our Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. We explored strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co.

 

We continue to optimize our workforce to align with current production needs and financial realities and is currently down to five employees.

 

We expect to incur pre-tax charges of less than $100,000 for the workforce reduction, most of which is expected to be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. These charges will be substantially settled in cash and almost entirely consist of severance, continuation of salaries and benefits over a transitional period during which impacted employees remain employed but are not expected to provide active service, and other customary employee benefit payments in connection with an employee reduction. An impairment charge of $1,674,000 was recorded against the building under construction in the second quarter of 2024 based on a recent third-party appraisal.

 

On August 12, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Twin Vee and Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Vee (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, we will merge with and into Merger Sub, with our company surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of our common stock (other than any shares held by Twin Vee), will be converted into the right to receive 0.61166627 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Twin Vee common stock, any fractional shares to be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Twin Vee common stock, for an aggregate of 5,355,000 shares of Twin Vee common stock. Each outstanding stock option exercisable for shares of our common stock that is outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a stock option to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such stock option for shares of our common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of our common stock will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such warrant for shares of our common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment for ant reverse stock split. In addition, at the Effective Time the 7,000,000 shares of our common stock held by Twin Vee will be cancelled

 

The completion of the Merger by each of Twin Vee and us is subject to customary conditions, including (1) (A) adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders (which approval shall include a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at our annual meeting excluding shares held by us) and (B) approval of the Share Issuance by Twin Vee’s shareholders, (2) authorization for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market of the shares of Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, subject to official notice of issuance, (3) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 for Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, and (4) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Mergers illegal. Each party’s obligation to complete the Mergers is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Twin Vee, in its capacity as our principal stockholder, has agreed to vote the shares of our common stock held by it for the approval and adoption of the Merger only if a majority of our other stockholders present in person or by proxy at the Forza annual meeting vote to approve and adopt the Merger.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Twin Vee and us. In addition, either we or Twin Vee may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by December 1, 2024.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $1,337,840 due primarily to an asset impairment charge of $1,674,000. Before the impact of this charge, operating expenses decreased by $336,160 to $1,242,563 as compared to $1,578,723 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Operating expenses include salaries, selling, general, and administrative, research and development, professional fees, and depreciation. Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $340,907, as compared to $261,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2024 included a valuation charge to reserve for the value of R&D electric motors of $175,820. Excluding the impact of this charge, research & development charges declined $96,386 for the quarter, due to large expenditures in the second quarter of 2023 when we were in the early stages of development of our prototype electric motors and control systems. Salaries and wages for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $432,308, as compared to $864,838 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and were primarily related to reductions in staffing in engineering and design. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, salaries and wages included $183,815 of stock option expense, as compared to $341,817 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our expenses for selling, general, and administrative for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were $247,464, as compared to $334,315 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $158,077, as compared to $69,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $63,807, as compared to $48,230 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, the increase being attributable to the addition of equipment and tooling.

 

Other expense and income

 

Interest expense was $813 and $1,493, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Because the proceeds from our IPO and secondary offering have been partly invested in money market vehicles, those monies earned dividend income. Dividend income was $112,663 and $137,358, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Net realized gains were $18,280 and zero, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table provide selected financial data as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

    June 30,   December 31,        
    2024   2023   Change   % Change
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 8,188,879     $ 9,821,531     $ (1,632,652 )     (16.6 %)
Current assets   $ 8,553,852     $ 13,370,219     $ (4,816,367 )     (36.0 %)
Current liabilities   $ 585,243     $ 842,594     $ (257,351 )     (30.5 %)
Working capital   $ 7,968,609     $ 12,527,625     $ (4,559,016 )     (36.4 %)

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents, and working capital of $8,188,879 and $7,968,609, respectively, compared to $9,821,531 and $12,527,625, respectively, on December 31, 2023. We have incurred significant costs in pursuit of our construction of our new manufacturing facility which we have been financing. Our management planned to use the proceeds from the IPO and the secondary offering to finance the expenses related to the construction of the facility, which we are no longer pursuing. We believe that our current capital resources will be sufficient to fund our operations while we pursue strategic alternatives for our business and believe that our current capital resources will be sufficient for another 15 months following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect expect to continue to incur net losses, and to have cash outflows for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

During the six months ending June 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,526,246 and $2,882,869, respectively. During the six months ending June 30, 2024, our cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of operating losses incurred and a reduction in accrued liabilities since December 31, 2023.

  

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 net cash provided by investing activities was $123,493 resulting from redemptions of marketable securities more than offsetting the purchase of property and equipment and building compared to a use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $224,088 for the purchase of property and equipment.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on four financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, that results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimated under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving managements judgements and estimates.

 

Controls and Procedures

 

We are now currently required to maintain an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are only required to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2023. Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, would we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.

 

21

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product.

 

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had customer deposits of $6,175 and $5,700, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the Condensed Balance Sheet. These deposits are not expected to be recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

 

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 useful life of fixed assets.

  

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 June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,188,879, and on December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,821,531.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from three to seven years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance expenses, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

 

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 building under construction in the second quarter of 2024 based on a recent third-party appraisal.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs were $340,907 and 261,473, respectively. Such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $510,105, as compared to $964,121 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

22

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $5,254, as compared to $62,896 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $3,742, as compared to $50,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Advertising and marketing costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

We determine 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 our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We calculate 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. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expenses for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state code.

 

All income tax amounts reflect the use of the liability method under accounting for income taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes arising primarily from differences between financial and tax reporting purposes.

 

Deferred income taxes, net of appropriate valuation allowances, are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid. Valuation allowances are recorded against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. When an uncertain tax position meets the more likely than not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit or expense to recognize in the financial statements.

 

In accordance with U.S GAAP, we follow the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. At June 30, 2024, we do not believe we have any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Our income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local governmental authorities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our interim Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our interim Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. 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 June 30, 2024 our interim Chief Executive Officer and our interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such a date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.

 

Previously Reported Material Weakness

 

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to a lack of segregation of duties. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our condensed financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in additional misstatements to our condensed financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

24

 

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses. We are actively engaged in the remediation of each of the outstanding material weaknesses, to include the retention of additional full-time accounting expertise and the utilization of outside advisors where appropriate. With their added expertise, we will continue to make improvements in our accounting processes over the coming months. In the third quarter of 2023, we also completed the migration of our data into the SAP ByDesign ERP platform, which will aid in the segregation of access and responsibilities, as well as improve our reporting processes.

 

Additional time is required before we can 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 over which management can conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We continue to develop and refine our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and in accordance with GAAP. Other than as disclosed as part of our “Remediation Plan” above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, 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 and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed 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, 2023. 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, 2023.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains a note stating that the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred a net loss of $3,999,391 and $3,488,786, respectively and used cash in operations of $1,5526,246 and $2,882,869, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $5,933,113 and used cash in operations of $4,150,280. Losses have principally occurred as the result of our research and development efforts coupled with a lack of operating revenue. Until we begin generating revenue, there is doubt about our ability to become a going concern in the future.

 

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

 

Our shares of common stock are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FRZA.” If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholder’s equity requirement or the minimum closing bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our common stock or warrants. Such a de-listing or even notification of failure to comply with such requirements would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and warrants would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market, minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.

 

26

 

 

On October 4, 2023, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (August 22, 2023 through October 3, 2023), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FRZA.”

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 1, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by April 1, 2024; however, on April 2, 2024, we received written notification from Nasdaq granting our request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance is generally achieved by meeting the price requirement for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. However, Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require a company to satisfy the applicable price-based requirement for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that a company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. If we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 30, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to us that our common stock will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if we do appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful.

 

We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain our Nasdaq listing.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock is covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

We may need to raise additional capital that may be required to grow our business, and we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 

Operating our business and maintaining our growth efforts will require significant cash outlays and advance capital expenditures and commitments. Although the proceeds of our initial public offering and our secondary offering should be sufficient to fund our operations, if cash on hand and cash generated from operations and from our initial public offering and subsequent follow-on offering are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financing may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the price per share of our common stock paid by existing holders. The holders of new securities may also have rights, preferences or privileges which are senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If new sources of financing are required, but are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, if any, which would harm our ability to grow our business.

 

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 are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations 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.

 

27

 

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

 

As of June 30, 2024, 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 are in the process of hiring additional staff and providing them with the required training, we continue to engage 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 spend 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.

 

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.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE MERGER

 

All of the Twin Vee and Forza executive officers and most of its directors have conflicts of interest that may influence them to support or approve the Merger without regard to your interests.

 

All of the Twin Vee and Forza officers will be employed by the combined company and several of each of their directors will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger. In addition, all of the Twin Vee and Forza officers and most of their directors have a direct or indirect financial interest in both Forza and Twin Vee. These interests, among others, may influence such executive officers and directors of Twin Vee and Forza to support or approve the Merger.

 

28

 

 

The Exchange Ratio is not adjustable based on the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock so the Merger consideration at the closing may have a greater or lesser value than it had at the time the Merger Agreement was signed.

 

The parties to the Merger Agreement have set the Exchange Ratio for the Forza Common Stock and the Exchange Ratio is not adjustable. Any changes in the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock or Forza Common Stock will not affect the number of shares holders of Forza Common Stock will be entitled to receive upon consummation of the Merger. Therefore, if the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock declines from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably less value. Similarly, if the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably more value than their shares of Forza Common Stock and the Twin Vee stockholders immediately prior to the Merger will not be compensated for the increased market value of the Twin Vee Common Stock. If the market price of Forza Common Stock declines from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably more value. Similarly, if the market price of Forza Common Stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably less value than their shares of Forza Common Stock and the Forza stockholders immediately prior to the Merger will not be compensated for the increased market value of the Forza Common Stock. The Merger Agreement does not include a price-based termination right. Because the Exchange Ratio does not adjust as a result of changes in the value of Twin Vee Common Stock, for each one percentage point that the market value of Twin Vee Common Stock rises or declines, there is a corresponding one percentage point rise or decline, respectively, in the value of the total Merger consideration issued to the Forza stockholders.

 

The Merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the Merger, industry-wide changes and other causes.

 

In general, either Twin Vee or Forza can refuse to complete the Merger if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party between August 12, 2024, the date of the Merger Agreement, and the closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Twin Vee or Forza, including:

 

    general business or economic conditions affecting the industries in which Twin Vee or Forza operate;

 

    acts of war, armed hostilities or terrorism;

 

    changes in financial, banking or securities markets;

 

    the taking of any action required to be taken by the Merger Agreement;

 

    with respect either party, the announcement or pendency of the Merger Agreement or any related transactions; or

 

    with respect to either party, any change in their or the other party’s stock price or trading volume stock.

 

If adverse changes occur and Twin Vee and Forza still complete the Merger, the combined company stock price may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the Merger to the stockholders of Twin Vee and Forza.

 

The combined company’s stock price is expected to be volatile, and the market price of its common stock may drop following the Merger.

 

The market price of the combined company’s common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations following the Merger especially when the shareholder base is increased. Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of the combined company’s common stock.

 

29

 

 

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm the combined company’s profitability and reputation.

 

The market price of the combined company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger.

 

The market price of the combined company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by Twin Vee or Forza or investors, financial or industry analysts.

 

The combined company may not experience the anticipated strategic benefits of the Merger.

 

The respective managements of Twin Vee and Forza believe that the Merger would provide certain strategic benefits that may not be realized by each of the companies operating as standalones. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the Merger will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased stockholder value or revenue stream to the combined company.

 

Twin Vee and Forza stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Merger.

 

If the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger, Twin Vee and Forza securityholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

 

If the conditions to the Merger are not met, the Merger will not occur.

 

Even if the Merger is approved by the stockholders of Twin Vee and Forza, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived in order to complete the Merger, including, among others:

 

  the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of Twin Vee Common Stock in the Merger;

 

  the respective representations and warranties of Twin Vee and Forza, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing;

 

  no material adverse effect with respect to Twin Vee or Forza or its subsidiaries shall have occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger;

 

  performance or compliance in all material respects by Twin Vee and Forza with their respective covenants and obligations in the Merger Agreement;

 

  Forza and Twin Vee shall have obtained any consents and waivers of approvals required in connection with the Merger, including for Twin Vee approval of its stockholders of the issuance of the Twin Vee Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and for Forza approval of its stockholders of the Merger and the Merger Agreement; and

 

  no material adverse effect with respect to Twin Vee or Forza or its subsidiaries shall have occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement.

 

These and other conditions are described in detail in the Merger Agreement. Twin Vee and Forza cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur or will be delayed, and Twin Vee and Forza each may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.

 

30

 

 

Twin Vee and Forza will incur substantial expenses whether or not the Merger is completed.

 

Twin Vee and Forza will incur substantial expenses related to the Merger whether or not the Merger is completed.

 

During the pendency of the Merger, Twin Vee and Forza may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party at a favorable price because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses.

 

Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of Twin Vee and Forza to make acquisitions, subject to certain exceptions relating to fiduciary duties, or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending the closing of the merger. As a result, if the Merger is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during that period. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, each party is generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business, with any third-party, subject to certain exceptions. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s stockholders.

 

Certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

The terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit each of Twin Vee and Forza from soliciting alternative takeover proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited takeover proposals, except in certain circumstances where the Twin Vee Board of Directors or Forza Board of Directors, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that an unsolicited alternative takeover proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior takeover proposal and that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Forza Board of Directors.

 

The Merger and related transactions are subject to approval by the stockholders of both Twin Vee and Forza.

 

In order for the Merger to be completed, under applicable Nasdaq rules Twin Vee’s stockholders must approve the issuance of the shares of Twin Vee Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Twin Vee Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Twin Vee Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Forza’s stockholders must also approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Forza Common Stock entitled to vote and a majority of the Forza Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Forza Annual Meeting excluding Twin Vee.

 

Should the Merger not qualify as a tax-free reorganization, Forza stockholders may recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the shares of Twin vee common stock received in the Merger.

 

The Merger is expected to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, however, neither Twin Vee nor Forza has received an Internal Revenue Services ruling to that effect. The failure of the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code would result in a Forza stockholder recognizing capital gain or loss with respect to the shares of Forza Common Stock surrendered for Twin Vee Common Stock received in the Merger.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

  (a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

None.

 

  (b) Use of Proceeds.

 

On August 16, 2022, we closed our initial public offering of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share and an additional 450,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $17,250,000 (the “IPO”) pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended) (File No. 333-261884), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2022. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.3 million, and other offering expenses payable by us of approximately $1.3 million, we received approximately $14.7 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering. ThinkEquity LLC acted as the representative of the several underwriters for the offering.

 

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus, dated August 11, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The primary use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering continues to be, as follows: (i) approximately $8.0 million for the acquisition of property and the development of a manufacturing plant to build, design and manufacture our new line of electric boats; (ii) approximately $2.0 million for ramp up of production and inventory; (iii) approximately $2.6 million for working capital. Since its initial public offering, the Company has invested approximately $6.0 million into production, R&D, inventory, working capital, facility planning, the clearing and grading of land, and construction.

 

No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. Pending the uses described, we have invested the net proceeds in our operating cash account.

  

  (c) Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities.

  

None.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “nonRule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

  2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza” or the “Company”) was initially incorporated as Electra Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, but subsequently changed its name to Forza X1, Inc. on October 29, 2021. The Company’s parent company was incorporated in the State of Florida as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc. on December 1, 2009, and reincorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2021, as Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee”).

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. The Company explored strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co. As part of this decision, the Company obtained an appraisal of its partially constructed facility in Monroe, NC and evaluated the carrying costs of its assets, primarily its inventory and fixed assets. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of $1,674,000 against the carrying cost of its partially constructed building at June 30, 2024. The Company has evaluated any material liabilities resulting from this action and has determined that there are no additional material liabilities to be recorded as of June 30, 2024.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial statements and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on 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 financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product.

 

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer deposits of $6,175 and $5,700, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. These deposits are not expected to be recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

 

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 useful life of fixed assets.

 

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 the purchase. On June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,188,879 and $9,821,531, respectively.

 

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

 

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.

 

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

 

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. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $7,688,879 and $9,557,799, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which are raw materials for upcoming production, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method using 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 Goods Sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $640,230 and $351,158, respectively.

The Company also had outstanding warrants to purchase 306,705 shares of common stock issuable at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.88 per share that were issued to the representative of the underwriters on June 14, 2023 in connection with the Company’s secondary offering.

There was no warrant activity during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Equity Compensation Plan

 

The Company maintains an equity compensation plan (the “Plan”) under which it may award employees, directors and consultants’ incentive and nonqualified 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, 2023 and January 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,448,714 shares remaining available for grant under this Plan.

Accounting for Stock -Based Compensation

 

Stock Compensation Expense - For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $476,956 and $682,980, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense which is included in salaries and wages on the accompanying condensed statement of operations

 

Forza’s 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)- Forza 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. Forza 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 June 30, 2024:

 

       
      Three months ended  
      June 30,  
      2024  
Expected term     5 years  
Expected average volatility     108-113%  
Expected dividend yield      
Risk-free interest rate     2.98 - 4.72%  

 

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%

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. The Company explored strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with Twin Vee PowerCats Co. As part of this decision, the Company obtained an appraisal of its partially constructed facility in Monroe, NC and evaluated the carrying costs of its assets, primarily its inventory and fixed assets. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of $1,674,000 against the carrying cost of its partially constructed building at June 30, 2024. The Company has evaluated any material liabilities resulting from this action and has determined that there are no additional material liabilities to be recorded as of June 30, 2024.

 

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Twin Vee and Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Vee (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than any shares held by Twin Vee), will be converted into the right to receive 0.61166627 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Twin Vee common stock, any fractional shares to be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Twin Vee common stock, for an aggregate of 5,355,000 shares of Twin Vee common stock. Each outstanding stock option exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock that is outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a stock option to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such stock option for shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase the number of shares of Twin Vee common stock that the holder would have received if such holder had exercised such warrant for shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger and exchanged such shares for Twin Vee common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment for ant reverse stock split. In addition, at the Effective Time the 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Twin Vee will be cancelled.

 

The completion of the Merger by each of Twin Vee and the Company is subject to customary conditions, including (1) (A) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders (which approval shall include a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Company’s annual meeting excluding shares held by us) and (B) approval of the Share Issuance by Twin Vee’s shareholders, (2) authorization for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market of the shares of Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, subject to official notice of issuance, (3) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 for Twin Vee’s common stock to be issued in the Merger, and (4) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Mergers illegal. Each party’s obligation to complete the Mergers is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Twin Vee, in its capacity as the Company’s principal stockholder, has agreed to vote the shares of Forza common stock held by it for the approval and adoption of the Merger only if a majority of the Company’s other stockholders present in person or by proxy at the Forza annual meeting vote to approve and adopt the Merger.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Twin Vee and the Company. In addition, either the Company or Twin Vee may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by December 1, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product.

 

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer deposits of $6,175 and $5,700, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. These deposits are not expected to be recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

 

Use of Estimates

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 useful life of fixed assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 the purchase. On June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,188,879 and $9,821,531, respectively.

 

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.

 

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

 

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. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $7,688,879 and $9,557,799, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories, which are raw materials for upcoming production, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method using 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 Goods Sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $640,230 and $351,158, respectively.
