0001731122-26-000317Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is -0.10pp more bearish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether to invest in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements made throughout this Annual Report a result of different factors, including the risks we face described below.
Risks Related to our Business
There is limited public information on our operating history.
Our limited public operating history makes evaluating our business and prospects difficult. Although we were formed in 2003, we did not provide public reports on the results of operations until our 2020 fiscal year. We only have a few years of audited financial statements. Any investment decision will not be made with the same data as would be available as if we had a longer history of public reporting.
We have incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and could continue to incur losses in the future.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we incurred a loss from operations of $8,781,299 and $14,551,769; and a net loss of $8,607,273 and $14,009,906. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $34,000,228 and $25,392,955, respectively. There can be no assurance that expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs and to generate income from operations and net income .
Our ability to meet our manufacturing workforce needs is crucial to our results of operations and future sales and profitability.
We rely on the existence of an available hourly workforce to manufacture our products. In addition, we cannot assure you that we or our subsidiaries, will be able to attract and retain qualified employees to meet current or future manufacturing needs at a reasonable cost, or at all. For instance, the demand for skilled employees has increased recently with the low unemployment rates in Florida where we have manufacturing facilities. Also, although none of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements, we cannot assure you that our employees will not elect to be represented by labor unions in the future. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees. Significant increases in manufacturing workforce costs could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have a large, fixed cost base that will affect our profitability if our sales decrease.
The fixed cost levels of operating a powerboat manufacturer can put pressure on profit margins when sales and production decline. Our profitability depends, in part, on our ability to spread fixed costs over a sufficiently large number of products sold and shipped, and if we make a decision to reduce our rate of production, gross or net margins could be negatively affected. Consequently, decreased demand or the need to reduce production can lower our ability to absorb fixed costs and materially impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Interest rates and energy prices affect product sales.
Our gas-powered products are often financed by our dealers and retail powerboat consumers, we anticipate that this trend will continue as we seek to expand our operations and grow our network of distributors. This may not occur if interest rates meaningfully rise because higher rates increase the borrowing costs and, accordingly, the cost of doing business for dealers and the cost of powerboat purchases for consumers. Higher energy costs result in increases in operating expenses at our manufacturing facility and in the expense of shipping products to our dealers. In addition, inflation and increases in energy costs may adversely affect the pricing and availability of petroleum-based raw materials, such as resins and foams that are used in our products. Also, higher fuel prices may have an adverse effect on demand for our gas-powered boats, as they increase the cost of ownership and operation and the prices at which we sell the boats. Therefore, higher interest rates and fuel costs can adversely affect consumers’ decisions relating to recreational powerboating purchases.
Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.
Our operations and performance depend on global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions. General worldwide economic conditions have experienced significant instability in recent years, including the recent global economic uncertainty and financial market conditions, have caused shortages in the supply chain and increased prices. We are continuously evaluating alternative and secondary source suppliers in order to ensure that we are able to source sufficient materials.
The uncertain financial markets, disruptions in supply chains, mobility restraints, and changing priorities as well as volatile asset values could impact our business in the future.
Further, due to increasing tariffs, heightened interest rates, and inflation, operating costs for many businesses including ours have increased and, in the future, could impact demand or the cost of manufacturing our boats. Inflation rates, particularly in the United States, have increased recently to levels not seen in years, and increased inflation may result in increases in our operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity and limits on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital. In addition, although the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in 2024 and 2025, it had raised rates significantly in 2022 and 2023 in response to concerns about inflation, and it may again raise interest rates in the future which, coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks.
Actual events involving reduced or limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems.
We are actively monitoring the effects these disruptions and increasing inflation could have on our operations.
These conditions could make it extremely difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.
Our annual and quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our sales and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
Seasonal consumer demand for our products;
Discretionary spending habits;
Changes in pricing in, or the availability of supply in, the powerboat market;
Failure to maintain a premium brand image;
Disruption in the operation of our manufacturing facilities;
Variations in the timing and volume of our sales;
The timing of our expenditures in anticipation of future sales;
Sales promotions by us and our competitors;
Changes in competitive and economic conditions generally;
Consumer preferences and competition for consumers’ leisure time;
Impact of unfavorable weather conditions;
Changes in the cost or availability of our labor; and
Increased fuel prices.
Due to these and other factors, our results of operations may decline quickly and significantly in response to changes in order patterns or rapid decreases in demand for our products. We anticipate that fluctuations in operating results will continue in the future.
Unfavorable weather conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, especially during the peak boating season.
Adverse weather conditions in any year in any particular geographic region may adversely affect sales in that region, especially during the peak boating season. Sales of our products are generally stronger just before and during spring and summer, which represent the peak boating months, and favorable weather during these months generally has a positive effect on consumer demand. Conversely, unseasonably cool weather, excessive rainfall, reduced rainfall levels, or drought conditions during these periods may close area boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby generally reducing consumer demand for our products. Our annual results would be materially and adversely affected if our net sales were to fall below expected seasonal levels during these periods. We may also experience more pronounced seasonal fluctuation in net sales in the future as we expand our businesses. There can be no assurance that weather conditions will not have a material effect on the sales of any of our products.
A natural disaster, the effects of climate change, or other disruptions at our manufacturing facility could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We rely on the continuous operation of our only manufacturing facility in Stuart, Florida for the production of our products. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to our facility due to fire, flood, earthquake, or any other unforeseen circumstance would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Changes in climate could adversely affect our operations by limiting or increasing the costs associated with equipment or fuel supplies. In addition, adverse weather conditions, such as increased frequency and/or severity of storms, or floods could impair our ability to operate by damaging our facilities and equipment or restricting product delivery to customers. The occurrence of any disruption at our manufacturing facility, even for a short period of time, may have an adverse effect on our productivity and profitability, during and after the period of the disruption. These disruptions may also cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, and environmental damage. Although we maintain property, casualty, and business interruption insurance of the types and in the amounts that we believe are customary for the industry, we are not fully insured against all potential natural disasters or other disruptions to our manufacturing facility.
If we fail to manage our manufacturing levels while still addressing the seasonal retail pattern for our products, our business and margins may suffer.
The seasonality of retail demand for our products, together with our goal of balancing production throughout the year, requires us to manage our manufacturing and allocate our gas-powered products to our dealer network to address anticipated retail demand. Our dealers must manage seasonal changes in consumer demand and inventory. If our dealers reduce their inventories in response to weakness in retail demand, we could be required to reduce our production, resulting in lower rates of absorption of fixed costs in our manufacturing and, therefore, lower margins. As a result, we must balance the economies of level production with the seasonal retail sales pattern experienced by our dealers. Failure to adjust manufacturing levels adequately may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on our network of independent dealers for our boats, face increasing competition for dealers, and have little control over their activities.
A significant portion of our sales are derived from our network of independent dealers. We typically manufacture our gas-powered boats based upon indications of interest received from dealers who are not contractually obligated to purchase any boats. While our dealers typically have purchased all of the boats for which they have provided us with indications of interest, it is possible that a dealer could choose not to purchase boats for which it has provided an indication of interest (e.g., if it were to have reached the credit limit on its floor plan), and as a result we once experienced, and in the future could experience, excess inventory and costs. For the year ended December 31, 2025, two individual dealers each represented over 10% of our total sales and together represented 27% of total sales. For the year ended December 31, 2024, three individual dealers each represented over 10% of our sales and together represented 40% of total sales. The loss of a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The number of dealers supporting our products and the quality of their marketing and servicing efforts are essential to our ability to generate sales. Competition for dealers among other boat manufacturers continues to increase based on the quality, price, value, and availability of the manufacturers’ products, the manufacturers’ attention to customer service, and the marketing support that the manufacturer provides to the dealers. We face intense competition from other boat manufacturers in attracting and retaining dealers, affecting our ability to attract or retain relationships with qualified and successful dealers. Although our management believes that the quality of our products in the performance sport boat industry should permit us to maintain our relationships with our dealers and our market share position, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or improve our relationships with our dealers or our market share position. In addition, independent dealers in the boating industry have experienced significant consolidation in recent years, which could result in the loss of one or more of our dealers in the future if the surviving entity in any such consolidation purchases similar products from a competitor. A substantial deterioration in the number of dealers or the quality of our network of dealers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The loss of one or a few dealers could have a material adverse effect on us.
A few dealers have in the past, and may in the future, account for a significant portion of our revenues in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years. For the year ended December 31, 2025, two individual dealers each represented over 10% of our total sales and combined represented 27% of total sales. The loss of business from a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our success depends, in part, upon the financial health of our dealers and their continued access to financing.
Because we sell nearly all of our products through dealers, their financial health is critical to our success. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected if the financial health of the dealers that sell our products suffers. Their financial health may suffer for a variety of reasons, including a downturn in general economic conditions, rising interest rates, higher rents, increased labor costs and taxes, compliance with regulations, and personal financial issues.
In addition, our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchases of our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These sources of financing are vital to our ability to sell products through our distribution network. Access to financing generally facilitates our dealers’ ability to purchase boats from us, and their financed purchases reduce our working capital requirements. If financing were not available to our dealers, our sales and our working capital levels would be adversely affected.
We may be required to repurchase inventory of certain dealers.
Many of our dealers have floor plan financing arrangements with third-party finance companies that enable the dealers to purchase our products. In connection with these agreements, we have an obligation to repurchase our products from a finance company under certain circumstances, and we may not have any control over the timing or amount of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptable to us to satisfy any repurchase obligation. This obligation is triggered if a dealer defaults on its debt obligations to a finance company, the finance company repossesses the boat, and the boat is returned to us. Our obligation to repurchase a repossessed boat for the unpaid balance of our original invoice price for the boat is subject to reduction or limitation based on the age and condition of the boat at the time of repurchase, and in certain cases by an aggregate cap on repurchase obligations associated with a particular floor plan financing program. As disclosed in the notes accompanying the financial statements included in this report, on April 21, 2025, Northpoint Commercial Finance LLC (“Northpoint”) requested that we take possession of and repurchase certain inventory consisting of six boats in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement between us and Northpoint. Prior to that date, we have not been required to repurchase any other boats under our dealers’ floor plan financing arrangements, and we are not aware of any applicable laws regulating dealer relations which govern our relations with the dealers or would require us to repurchase any boats. However, there is no assurance that a dealer will not default on the terms of a credit line in the future. In addition, applicable laws regulating dealer relations may also require us to repurchase our products from our dealers under certain circumstances, and we may not have any control over the timing or amount of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptable to us to satisfy any repurchase obligation. If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement or under applicable dealer laws, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We rely on third-party suppliers in the manufacturing of our boats.
We depend on third-party suppliers to provide components and raw materials essential to the construction of our boats. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we purchased all engines for our boats under supplier agreements with three vendors. While we believe that our relationships with our current suppliers are sufficient to provide the materials necessary to meet present production demand, we cannot assure you that these relationships will continue or that the quantity or quality of materials available from these suppliers will be sufficient to meet our future needs, irrespective of whether we successfully implement our growth strategy. We expect that our need for raw materials and supplies will increase. Our suppliers must be prepared to ramp up operations and, in many cases, hire additional workers and/or expand capacity in order to fulfill the orders placed by us and other customers. Operational and financial difficulties that our suppliers may face in the future could adversely affect their ability to supply us with the parts and components we need, which could significantly disrupt our operations.
Termination or interruption of informal supply arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
Although we have long-term relationships with many of our suppliers, we do not have any formal agreements with any suppliers for the purchase of parts needed and our purchases are made on a purchase order basis. We have no binding commitment from our suppliers to supply any specified quantity of materials needed within any specified time period. In the event that our suppliers receive a large number of orders from other customers, there is a possibility that they will not be able to support our needs. If any of our current suppliers were to be unable to provide needed products to us, there can be no assurance that alternate supply arrangements will be made on satisfactory terms. If we need to enter into supply arrangements on unsatisfactory terms, or if there are any delays to our supply arrangements, it could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
We provide a hull warranty for structural damage of up to 12 years for our boats. In addition, we provide a three-year limited fiberglass small parts warranty on all or some small fiberglass parts and components such as consoles. Gelcoat is covered up to one year. Additionally, fiberglass lids, plastic lids, electrical panels, bilge pumps, aerator pumps or other electrical devices (excluding stereos, depth finders, radar, chart plotters except for installation if installed by us.), steering systems, electrical panels, and pumps are covered under a one-year basic limited systems warranty. Some materials, components or parts of the boat that are not covered by our limited product warranties are separately warranted by their manufacturers or suppliers. These other warranties include warranties covering engines purchased from suppliers and other components.
Our standard warranties require us or our dealers to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. Although we employ quality control procedures, sometimes a product is distributed that needs repair or replacement. The repair and replacement costs we could incur in connection with a recall could adversely affect its business. In addition, product recalls could harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers, particularly if recalls cause consumers to question the safety or reliability of its products.
The nature of our business exposes us to workers’ compensation claims and other workplace liabilities.
Certain materials we use require our employees to handle potentially hazardous or toxic substances. While our employees who handle these and other potentially hazardous or toxic materials receive specialized training and wear protective clothing, there is still a risk that they,
or others, may be exposed to these substances. Exposure to these substances could result in significant injury to our employees and damage to our property or the property of others, including natural resource damage. Our personnel are also at risk for other workplace-related injuries, including slips and falls. We may in the future be subject to fines, penalties, and other liabilities in connection with any such injury or damage. Although we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable and adequate insurance in excess of our self-insured amounts, we may be unable to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms or such insurance may not provide adequate protection against potential liabilities.
If we are unable to comply with environmental and other regulatory requirements, our business may be exposed to material liability and/or fines.
Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations, including those concerning product safety, environmental protection, and occupational health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain permits and limit our ability to discharge hazardous materials into the environment. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement actions that could result in the assessment of fines and penalties, obligations to conduct remedial or corrective actions, or, in extreme circumstances, revocation of our permits or injunctions preventing some or all of our operations. In addition, the components of our boats must meet certain regulatory standards, including stringent air emission standards for boat engines. Failure to meet these standards could result in an inability to sell our boats in key markets, which would adversely affect our business. Moreover, compliance with these regulatory requirements could increase the cost of our products, which in turn, may reduce consumer demand.
While we believe that we are in material compliance with applicable federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory requirements, and hold all licenses and permits required thereunder, we cannot assure you that we will, at all times, be able to continue to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Compliance with increasingly stringent regulatory and permit requirements may, in the future, cause us to incur substantial capital costs and increase our cost of operations, or may limit our operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
As with most boat construction businesses, our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. The failure to manage or dispose of such hazardous substances and wastes properly could expose us to material liability or fines, including liability for personal injury or property damage due to exposure to hazardous substances, damages to natural resources, or for the investigation and remediation of environmental conditions. Under environmental laws, we may be liable for remediation of contamination at sites where our hazardous waste have been disposed or at our current facility, regardless of whether our facility is owned or leased or whether the environmental conditions were created by us, a prior owner or tenant, or third-party. While we do not believe that we are presently subject to any such liabilities, we cannot assure you that environmental conditions relating to our prior, existing, or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
Our industry is characterized by intense competition, which affects our sales and profits.
The performance sport boat category and the powerboat industry as a whole are highly competitive for consumers and dealers. We also compete against consumer demand for used boats. Competition affects our ability to succeed in both the markets we currently serve and new markets that we may enter in the future. Competition is based primarily on brand name, price, product selection, and product performance. We compete with several large manufacturers that may have greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we do and who are represented by dealers in the markets in which we now operate and into which we plan to expand. We also compete with a variety of small, independent manufacturers. We cannot assure you that we will not face greater competition from existing large or small manufacturers or that we will be able to compete successfully with new competitors. Our failure to compete effectively with our current and future competitors would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We also compete with other manufacturers for employees.
We face increasing competition for dealers and have little control over their activities.
We face intense competition from other performance sport boat manufacturers in attracting and retaining dealers and customers, affecting our ability to attract or retain relationships with qualified and successful dealers and consumers looking to purchase boats. Although our management believes that the quality of our products in the boat industry should permit us to maintain our relationships with our dealers and our market share position, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or improve our relationships with our dealers or our market share position. In addition, independent dealers in the boating industry have experienced significant consolidation in recent years, which could result in the loss of one or more of our dealers in the future if the surviving entity in any such consolidation purchases similar products from a competitor. A substantial deterioration in the number of dealers or quality of our network of dealers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our sales may be adversely impacted by increased consumer preference for other leisure activities or used boats or the supply of new boats by competitors in excess of demand.
Our boats are not necessities and in times of economic hardship, consumers may cease purchasing non-essential items. Demand for our boats may be adversely affected by competition from other activities that occupy consumers’ leisure time and by changes in consumer lifestyle, usage pattern or taste. Similarly, an overall decrease in consumer leisure time may reduce consumers’ willingness to purchase and enjoy our boats.
During the economic downturn that commenced in 2008, there was a shift in consumer demand toward purchasing more used boats, primarily because prices for used boats are typically lower than retail prices for new boats. If this were to occur again, it could have the effect of reducing demand among retail purchasers for our new boats. Also, while we have balanced production volumes for our boats to meet demand, our competitors could choose to reduce the price of their products, which could have the effect of reducing demand for our new boats. Reduced demand for new boats could lead to reduced sales by us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our sales and profitability depend, in part, on the successful introduction of new products.
Market acceptance of our products depends on our technological innovation and our ability to implement technology in our boats. Our sales and profitability may be adversely affected by difficulties or delays in product development, such as an inability to develop viable or innovative new products. Our failure to introduce new technologies and product offerings that consumers desire could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we fail to introduce new features or those we introduce fail to gain market acceptance, our bottom line may suffer.
In addition, some of our direct competitors and indirect competitors may have significantly more resources to develop and patent new technologies. It is possible that our competitors will develop and patent equivalent or superior technologies and other products that compete with ours. They may assert these patents against us and we may be required to license these patents on unfavorable terms or cease using the technology covered by these patents, either of which would harm our competitive position and may materially adversely affect our business.
We also cannot be certain that our products or features have not infringed or will not infringe the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement could cause third parties, including our competitors, to bring claims against us, resulting in significant costs and potential damages.
Our success depends upon the continued strength of our brand, the value of our brand, and sales of our products could be diminished if we, the consumers who use our products, or the sports and activities in which our products are used are associated with negative publicity.
We believe that our brand is a significant contributor to the success of our business and that maintaining and enhancing our brand is important to expanding our consumer and dealer base. Failure to continue to protect our brand may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We expect that our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the Twin Vee and Bahama Boat Works brands will also depend heavily on the success of our marketing efforts. To further promote our brands, we may be required to change our marketing practices, which could result in substantially increased advertising expenses, including the need to use traditional media such as television, radio and print. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and substantially greater marketing resources than we do. If we do not develop and maintain strong brands, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely impacted.
Negative publicity, including that resulting from severe injuries or death occurring in the sports and activities in which our products are used, could negatively affect our reputation and result in restrictions, recalls, or bans on the use of our products. If the popularity of the sports and activities for which we design, manufacture, and sell products were to decrease as a result of these risks or any negative publicity, sales of our products could decrease, which could have an adverse effect on our net sales, profitability, and operating results. Similarly, as we seek to expand our business to provide crewed and autonomous mission-ready maritime solutions for defense and government customers through Black Line Defense, we face increased reputational and legal risks, as well as potential increased reporting costs associated with such activities. In addition, if we become exposed to additional claims and litigation relating to the use of our products, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including by generating potential negative publicity about our products, which could adversely impact our business and financial condition.
We may not be able to execute our manufacturing strategy successfully, which could cause the profitability of our products to suffer.
Our manufacturing strategy is designed to improve product quality and increase productivity, while reducing costs and increasing flexibility to respond to ongoing changes in the marketplace. To implement this strategy, we must be successful in our continuous improvement efforts, which depend on the involvement of management, production employees, and suppliers. Any inability to achieve these objectives could adversely impact the profitability of our products and our ability to deliver desirable products to our consumers.
We will rely on complex machinery for our operations, and production involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance, safety, security, and costs.
We expect to rely heavily on complex machinery for our operations and our production will involve a significant degree of uncertainty and risk in terms of operational performance, safety, security, and costs. Our manufacturing plant consists of large-scale machinery combining many components. The manufacturing plant components are likely to suffer unexpected malfunctions from time to time and will depend on repairs and spare parts to resume operations, which may not be available when needed. Unexpected malfunctions of the manufacturing plant components may significantly affect operational efficiency. Operational performance and costs can be difficult to predict and are often influenced by factors outside of our control, such as, but not limited to, scarcity of natural resources, environmental hazards and remediation, costs associated with decommissioning of machines, labor disputes and strikes, difficulty or delays in obtaining governmental permits, damages or defects in electronic systems, industrial accidents, pandemics, fire, seismic activity, and natural disasters. Should operational risks materialize, it may result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, products, supplies, tools and materials, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production, environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs, and potential legal liabilities, all which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Although we generally carry insurance to cover such operational risks, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover potential costs and liabilities arising therefrom. A loss that is uninsured or exceeds policy limits may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
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. If cash on hand and cash generated from operations 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 needed cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings 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 at the time of such public offerings. 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.
If we fail to manage future growth effectively, we may not be able to market or sell our products successfully.
Any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We are expanding our operations. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Risks that we face in undertaking this expansion include:
training new personnel;
forecasting production and revenue;
expanding our marketing efforts, including the marketing of a new powertrain that we intend to develop;
controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;
establishing or expanding design, manufacturing, sales and service facilities;
implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes; and
addressing new markets.
We intend to continue to hire a number of additional personnel, including design and manufacturing personnel and service technicians. Competition for individuals with experience designing, manufacturing and servicing boats is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, train or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these additional employees could seriously harm our business and prospects.
We depend upon our executive officers and we may not be able to retain them and their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
Our future success will depend in significant part upon the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract or retain such persons. We do not have an insurance policy on the life of our Chief Executive Officer, and we do not have “key person” life insurance policies for any of our other officers or advisors. The loss of the technical knowledge and management and industry expertise of any of our key personnel could result in delays in product development, loss of customers and sales and diversion of management resources, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Certain of our shareholders have sufficient voting power to make corporate governance decisions that could have a significant influence on us and the other stockholders.
Our Chief Executive Officer owns 4.5% of our outstanding common stock, as of February 27, 2026. As a result, our Chief Executive Officer does and will have significant influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in our control and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.
We may attempt to grow our business through acquisitions or strategic alliances and new partnerships, which we may not be successful in completing or integrating.
We may in the future enter into acquisitions and strategic alliances that will enable us to acquire complementary skills and capabilities, offer new products, expand our consumer base, enter new product categories or geographic markets, and obtain other competitive advantages. We cannot assure you, however, that we will identify acquisition candidates or strategic partners that are suitable to our business, obtain financing on satisfactory terms, complete acquisitions or strategic alliances, or successfully integrate acquired operations into our existing operations. Once integrated, acquired operations may not achieve anticipated levels of sales or profitability, or otherwise perform as expected. Acquisitions also involve special risks, including risks associated with unanticipated challenges, liabilities and contingencies, and diversion of management attention and resources from our existing operations. Similarly, our partnership with leading franchises from other industries to market our products or with third-party technology providers to introduce new technology to the market may not achieve anticipated levels of consumer enthusiasm and acceptance, or achieve anticipated levels of sales or profitability, or otherwise perform as expected.
If we are unable to comply with regulatory requirements governing government contracts and public procurement, our business may be exposed to material liability and/or fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As we seek to expand our business with federal, state, and municipal agencies, we may become subject to laws and rules governing government contracts and public procurement, which differ from private contracting and may impose additional risks and liabilities, including local presence, local manufacturing or sourcing, and technology or IP transfer requirements. Agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification, either at the convenience of the government or for our failure to perform, or other unsatisfactory performance under the applicable contract. We are subject to government investigations of our business practices and compliance with government acquisition regulations. If we were to be charged with wrongdoing as a result of any such investigation, we could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, and we could be subject to fines or penalties associated with contract non-compliance or resulting from such investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on network and information systems and other technologies for our business activities and certain events, such as computer hackings, viruses or other destructive or disruptive software or activities may disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Network and information systems and other technologies are important to our business activities and operations. Our technology-enabled marine retail and valuation platform Wizz Banger is dependent upon our networks and information systems. Network and information systems-related events, such as computer hackings, cyber threats, security breaches, viruses, or other destructive or disruptive software, process breakdowns or malicious or other activities could result in a disruption of our services and operations or improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, which could damage our reputation and require us to expend resources to remedy any such breaches. We have in the past been targeted by such attacks and likely will continue to be targeted in the future. Moreover the amount and scope of insurance we maintain against losses resulting from any such events or security breaches may not be sufficient to cover our losses or otherwise adequately compensate us for any disruptions to our businesses that may result, and the occurrence of any such events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The risk of these systems-related events and security breaches occurring has intensified, in part because we maintain certain information necessary to conduct our businesses in digital form stored on cloud servers. While we develop and maintain systems seeking to prevent systems-related events and security breaches from occurring, the development and maintenance of these systems is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that disruptions and security breaches will not occur in the future. To the extent we are able to grow our sales through our Wizz Banger platform and become dependent on such sales, we could experience loss of revenue in the event that a security breach or a technological malfunction disrupts the ability of customers to access and use the platform. Moreover, we may provide certain confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties in connection with our businesses, and while we obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information, there is a risk that this information may be compromised.
Maintaining the secrecy of confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive information. A cyber-attack or other significant disruption involving our information technology systems, or those of our vendors, suppliers and other partners, could also result in disruptions in critical systems, corruption or loss of data and theft of data, funds or intellectual property. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other reason, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, or adversely affect our business or financial condition. We may be unable to prevent outages or security breaches in our systems. We remain potentially vulnerable to additional known or yet unknown threats as, in some instances, we, our suppliers and our other partners may be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. We also face the risk that we expose our vendors or partners to cybersecurity attacks. Any or all of the foregoing could adversely affect our results of operations and our business reputation.
Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees or others with permitted access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. While we have invested in the protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems that could adversely affect our business. The occurrence of any such network or information systems-related events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures.
Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the internet, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber-terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our current or future product development programs. For example, the loss of any customer data could impact our ability to retain customers or attract new customers. To the extent that any disruption or security breach was to result in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur material legal claims and liability, damage to our reputation, and the further development of our product candidates could be delayed.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.
Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors with whom we contract, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors, from attacks by malicious third parties, or from intentional or accidental physical damage to our systems infrastructure maintained by us or by third parties. Maintaining the secrecy of this confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive information. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other reason, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, or adversely affect our business or financial condition. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information, could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Uninsured losses could result in payment of substantial damages, which would decrease our cash reserves and could harm our cash flow and financial condition.
In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to losses resulting from product liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against us, for which we may have no insurance coverage. While we currently carry commercial general liability, commercial boat liability, excess liability, product liability, cybersecurity, crime, special crime, drone, cargo stock throughput, builder’s risk, owner controlled insurance program, property, owners protective, workers’ compensation, employment practices, employed lawyers, production, fiduciary liability and directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, we may not maintain as much insurance coverage as other original equipment manufacturers do, and in some cases, we may not maintain any at all. Additionally, the policies that we have may include significant deductibles, and we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all or any future claims against us. A loss that is uninsured or exceeds policy limits may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us or, if available, may be at a significantly higher cost, especially if insurance providers perceive any increase in our risk profile in the future.
Our investments in artificial intelligence may not be successful, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.
We currently incorporate artificial intelligence (“AI”) into certain existing and planned products, as well as our internal operations. There are significant risks involved in developing and deploying AI, and there can be no assurance that the usage of AI will enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. For example, we utilize AI-based visual assessments in our Wizz Banger platform as one component in our independent valuation tool that aggregates and analyzes multiple categories of data. We believe that the AI component utilizes image-recognition models to evaluate visual condition factors with greater consistency than traditional manual inspections. However, AI technologies are complex, resource-intensive, and rapidly evolving. Market demand and acceptance of AI-driven offerings, such as our Wizz Banger platform, remain uncertain, and our efforts may not achieve widespread adoption or may be outpaced by competitors. The use of AI also raises ethical, reputational, and legal concerns. AI systems can generate or amplify content that is inaccurate, misleading, biased, discriminatory, harmful, or otherwise controversial, or be misused by third parties. If our AI-integrated offerings produce, or are perceived to produce, such outputs, or if we fail to implement adequate human oversight, testing, and safeguards, our brand and competitive standing could be harmed and we could face complaints, investigations, or litigation. Potential litigation or government regulation related to AI may increase the burden and cost of research and development. Failure to address perceived or actual technical, legal, compliance, privacy, security, or ethical issues could undermine confidence in our brand and our products, slowing adoption of our AI-driven products and services, such as our Wizz Banger platform, and further subjecting us to reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability.
Additionally, AI is the subject of evolving review by various governmental and regulatory agencies which are applying, or considering applying, their intellectual property, cybersecurity, data protection and other laws to AI. As such, it is not possible to predict all of the risks related to the use of AI, and changes in laws, rules, directives, and regulations governing the use of AI may adversely affect our ability to develop and use AI or subject us to legal liability. If we fail to implement robust AI governance, adequately respond to rapidly changing legal frameworks and customer trends, maintain sufficient oversight, and continuously evaluate and improve our systems, the risks described above could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions that could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions including matters related to commercial disputes, intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, whistleblower, environmental, tax, accounting, class action, and product liability, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
On March 10, 2025, shareholders Nabeel Youseph and Marisa Hardyal-Youseph (“Plaintiffs”), who are former holders of common stock of Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza”), commenced an action in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, captioned Youseph, et al. v. Visconti, et al., Case No. 2025-0262, by filing a putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Defendants Joseph Visconti, Kevin Schuyler, Neil Ross, Twin Vee PowerCats Co. and Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), related to Forza’s merger with Twin Vee seeking an unspecified award of damages, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiffs’ Complaint asserts claims (1) against Defendants for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as controlling shareholders of Forza, (2) against Messrs. Visconti, Schuyler, and Ross for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as directors of Forza, and (3) against Mr. Visconti for breach of fiduciary duty in his capacity as an officer of Forza. Defendants deny the allegations and intend to vigorously defend against the claims. At this time, as the matter is in the pleadings stage, we are unable to estimate or project the ultimate outcome of this matter.
These securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other current or future litigation matters may be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant defense and settlement costs or liability. We intend to vigorously defend against all such claims. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, as well as claims for indemnity from various of the parties concerned, we may from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. While a certain amount of insurance coverage is available for expenses or losses associated with current or future lawsuits, this coverage may not be sufficient. Determining reserves for any litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that is subject to judgment calls. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines or penalties or to settle claims or proceedings, any of which could harm our business. Based on information currently available, we are unable to estimate reasonably a possible loss or range of possible losses, if any, with regard to the current securities class action; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. Although we plan to defend against the securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other lawsuits vigorously, we cannot assure that the results of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Intellectual Property Risks
We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position. We do not have any patent protection for our gas-powered motor products. The only patent protection we have is for our electric products which we are no longer developing. We rely on a combination of trade secret (including those in our know-how), and other intellectual property laws, as well as employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property licenses, and other contractual rights to establish and protect rights in our technology and intellectual property. Our trademark applications may not be granted, any trademark registrations that may be issued to us may not sufficiently protect our intellectual property and any of our issued patents, trademark registrations or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by third parties. Any of these scenarios may result in limitations in the scope of our intellectual property or restrictions on our use of our intellectual property or may adversely affect the conduct of our business. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, third parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or seek court declarations that they do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly, and the steps we have taken or will take to prevent misappropriation may not be successful. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.
We may in the future become, subject to claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of our employees’ former employers.
Many of our employees were previously employed by other companies with similar or related technology, products or services. We are, and may in the future become, subject to claims that we, they or these employees have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail to defend such claims, we or they may be forced to pay monetary damages or be enjoined from using certain technology, products, services or knowledge. Even if we or they are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and demand on management resources.
Our use of open-source software in our applications could subject our proprietary software to general release, adversely affect our ability to sell our services and subject us to possible litigation, claims or proceedings.
We use open-source software in connection with the development and deployment of our products and services. Companies that use open-source software in connection with their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the use of open-source software and/or compliance with open-source license terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what are believed to be open-source software or claiming noncompliance with open- source licensing terms. Some open-source software licenses may require users who distribute proprietary software containing or linked to open- source software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such proprietary software and/or make available any derivative works of the open-source code under the same open- source license, which could include proprietary source code. In such cases, the open- source software license may also restrict us from charging fees to licensees for their use of our software. While we will monitor the use of open-source software and try to ensure that open-source software is not used in a manner that would subject our proprietary source code to these requirements and restrictions, such use could inadvertently occur, in part because open-source license terms are often ambiguous and have generally not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts.
Further, in addition to risks related to license requirements, use of certain open-source software carries greater technical and legal risks than does the use of third-party commercial software. For example, open-source software is generally provided as-is without any support or warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement or the quality of the code, including the existence of security vulnerabilities. To the extent that our platform depends upon the successful operation of open-source software, any undetected errors or defects in open-source software that we use could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our systems and injure our reputation. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for attackers to target and compromise our platform through cyber-attacks. Any of the foregoing risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
A significant portion of our intellectual property is not protected through patents or formal copyright registration. As a result, we do not have the full benefit of patent or copyright laws to prevent others from replicating our products, product candidates and brands.
We have not protected our intellectual property rights with respect to our boats through patents or formal copyright registration, and we do not currently have any patent applications pending. There can be no assurance that any patent will issue or if issued that the patent will protect our intellectual property. As a result, we may not be able to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets or prevent others from independently developing substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or from otherwise gaining access to our intellectual property or trade secrets. In such an instance, our competitors could produce products that are nearly identical to ours resulting in us selling less products or generating less revenue from our sales.
Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.
We rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protected by patents, to protect the intellectual property behind our boats. We utilize confidentiality agreements with our collaborators, employees, consultants, outside collaborators and other advisors to protect its proprietary technology and processes. We intend to use such agreements in the future, but these agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases, we could not assert any trade-secret rights against such party. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.
We may need to defend ourselves against patent, copyright or trademark infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and would cause us to incur substantial costs.
The status of the protection of our intellectual property is unsettled as we do not have any issued patents, registered trademarks or registered copyrights for most of our intellectual property and other than three design, five utility and two full non-provisional patent applications, we have not applied for the same. Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell or market our powerboats and electric powertrains or use third-party components, which could make it more difficult for us to operate. From time to time, we may receive communications from third parties that allege our products or components thereof are covered by their patents or trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise assert their rights. If we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following:
cease making, using, selling or offering to sell processes, goods or services that incorporate or use the third-party intellectual property;
pay substantial damages;
seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all;
redesign our boats or other goods or services to avoid infringing the third-party intellectual property;
establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services; or
find-third providers of any part or service that is the subject of the intellectual property claim.
In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology or other intellectual property rights, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.
Risks Related to our Industry
Demand in the powerboat industry is highly volatile.
Volatility of demand in the powerboat industry, especially for recreational powerboats and electric powerboats, may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. The markets in which we will be competing have been subject to considerable volatility in demand in recent periods. Demand for recreational powerboat and electric powerboat sales depends largely on general, economic and social conditions in a given market. Historically, sales of recreational powerboats decrease during economic downturns. We have fewer financial resources than more established powerboat manufacturers to withstand adverse changes in the market and disruptions in demand.
General economic conditions, particularly in the U.S., affect our industry, demand for our products and our business, and results of operations.
Demand for premium boat brands has been significantly influenced by weak economic conditions, low consumer confidence, high unemployment, and increased market volatility worldwide, especially in the U.S. In times of economic uncertainty and contraction, consumers tend to have less discretionary income and tend to defer or avoid expenditures for discretionary items, such as our products. Sales of our products are highly sensitive to personal discretionary spending levels. Our business is cyclical in nature and its success is impacted by economic conditions,
the overall level of consumer confidence and discretionary income levels. Any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions that diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income may reduce our sales and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the duration or strength of an economic recovery, either in the U.S. or in the specific markets where we sell our products. Corporate restructurings, layoffs, declines in the value of investments and residential real estate, higher gas prices, higher interest rates, and increases in federal and state taxation may each materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Consumers often finance purchases of our products. Although consumer credit markets have improved, consumer credit market conditions continue to influence demand, especially for boats, and may continue to do so. There continue to be fewer lenders, tighter underwriting and loan approval criteria, and greater down payment requirements than in the past. If credit conditions worsen and adversely affect the ability of consumers to finance potential purchases at acceptable terms and interest rates, it could result in a decrease in the sales of our products.
Global economic conditions could materially adversely impact demand for our products and services.
Our operations and performance depend significantly on economic conditions, including the introduction of new tariffs. Global financial conditions continue to be subject to volatility arising from international geopolitical developments and global economic phenomenon, as well as general financial market turbulence, resulting in a significant reduction in many major market indices. Uncertainty about global economic conditions could result in material adverse effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Access to public financing and credit can be negatively affected by the effect of these events on U.S. and global credit markets. The health of the global financing and credit markets may affect our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future and the terms at which financing, or credit is available to us. These instances of volatility and market turmoil could adversely affect our operations and the trading price of our common shares resulting in:
customers postponing purchases of our products and services in response to tighter credit, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values and other macroeconomic factors, which could have a material negative effect on demand for our products and services; and
third-party suppliers being unable to produce parts and components for our products in the same quantity or on the same timeline or being unable to deliver such parts and components as quickly as before or subject to price fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on our production or the cost of such production.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
Any failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our common stock.
The shares of our common stock are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VEEE.” 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. 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 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 to become listed again, stabilize the market price, improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from once again dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.
On May 10, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 28, 2024 through May 9, 2024), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), or the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. We were provided 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2024, to regain compliance, which deadline was subsequently extended to May 5, 2025. On April 4, 2025, we filed the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025. On April 28, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had determined that we now comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in the future.
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, it is a covered security. 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 a covered security and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
There can be no assurance that our increased stock price following the Reverse Stock Split will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any continued requirements and policies of Nasdaq or that our common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq.
At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Twin Vee board of directors, a reverse stock split at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of our board of directors and included in a public announcement. On April 4, 2025, we filed the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025.
While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain the listing of our common stock, even if we should effect another reverse stock split for the purpose of regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if a listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, it will not be eligible for a Compliance Period.
Accordingly, we may fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement or the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Any non-compliance may be costly, divert our management’s time and attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financing, and results of operation A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of the common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, materially adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline further, and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.
We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financing in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in our securities could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results. Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common shares. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common shares, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment. Common shares which we sell could be sold into any market which develops, which could adversely affect the market price.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our company, or if they issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about our company and our industry. We may be unable or slow to attract research coverage and if one or more analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market. In addition, one or more of these analysts could downgrade our common stock or issue other negative commentary about our company or our industry. As a result of one or more of these factors, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
The obligations associated with being a public company will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
As a result of our initial public offering, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. As a result, we have and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not previously incur.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred a loss from operations of $8,781,299 and a net loss of $8,607,273. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a loss from operations of $14,551,769 and a net loss of $14,009,906. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had accumulated deficits of $34,000,228 and $25,392,955, respectively. Our audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements included in this report are issued.
Despite our ongoing efforts to mitigate these conditions, there can be no assurance that our expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs. While the sale of the land and building in Marion, North Carolina took place on October 31, 2025 and we received a $500,000 payment at closing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to collect subsequent payments due in future periods. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our continued operations, there can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to fill new orders and develop new products. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this report are filed with the SEC, and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations and/or raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate efforts to expand our dealer network or develop new models and may be forced to cease operations or liquidate assets.
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.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.
As of December 31, 2025, 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.
Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses, due to inadequate staffing levels. We have retained a full-time controller and financial analyst and are utilizing the services of experienced SEC reporting consultants as necessary. We have also selected and implemented a robust operating system and we are utilizing the assistance of outside advisors where appropriate. 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.
Our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as a public company could have a material adverse effect on our business and share price.
Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our management is required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for such year. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined by the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. The rules governing the standards that must be met for our management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We are in the process of reviewing, documenting, and testing our internal control over financial reporting, but we are not currently in compliance with, and we cannot be certain when we will be able to implement, the requirements of Section 404(a). We may encounter problems or delays in implementing any changes necessary to make a favorable assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any public accounting firm after we cease to be an emerging growth company. If we cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on our internal controls after we cease to be an emerging growth company, investors could lose confidence in our financial information and the price of our common stock could decline.
Additionally, the existence of material weaknesses has required management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, and cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business and share price.
For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible 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, (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and of stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions and as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed fiscal quarter, and (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period.
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us as a “smaller reporting company,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our common stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our common stock) or a public float (based on our common stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.
Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile, and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our common stock could incur substantial losses.
Investors should consider an investment in our common stock risky and invest only if they can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of their investment. Investors who purchase our common stock may not be able to sell their shares at or above the purchase price. Our stock price has been volatile and may be volatile in the future. The price of our common stock has experienced volatility. During 2025, our common stock has experienced a high closing price of $7.45 and a low closing price of $1.59 per share. It is possible that an active trading market will not continue or be sustained, which could make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our common stock at an attractive price or at all. The stock market in general has been, and the market price of our common stock in particular, will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results and financial condition. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
actual or anticipated variations in our and our competitors’ results of operations and financial condition;
market acceptance of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products;
the mix of products that we sell and related services that we provide;
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our common stock is covered by analysts;
development of technological innovations or new competitive diagnostic tests or therapeutic products by others;
announcements of technological innovations or new diagnostic tests or therapeutic products by us;
our failure to achieve a publicly announced milestone;
delays between our expenditures to develop and market new or enhanced diagnostic tests or therapeutic products and the generation of sales from those diagnostic tests and therapeutic products;
developments concerning intellectual property rights, including our involvement in litigation;
our sale or proposed sale, or the sale by our significant shareholders, of our common stock or other securities in the future
changes in key personnel;
success or failure of our research and development projects or those of our competitors;
the trading volume of our common stock; and
general economic and market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.
Additionally, recently, securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to short sellers of shares of common stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at significantly inflated rates that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won’t be in the future, and investors may lose a significant portion or all of their investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.
These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and result in substantial losses being incurred by our investors. In the past, following periods of market volatility, public company shareholders have often instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could impose a substantial cost upon us and divert the resources and attention of our management from our business.
Our common stock has often been thinly traded, so investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if investors need to sell shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
To date, there have been many days on which limited trading of our common stock took place. We cannot predict the extent to which investors’ interests will lead to an active trading market for our common stock or whether the market price of our common stock will be volatile. If an active trading market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling our common stock. We are likely to be too small to attract the interest of many brokerage firms and analysts. We cannot give investors any assurance that an active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses, announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our common stock, including “short” sales, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We presently have no intention to pay dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition,
cash requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Furthermore, our ability to declare and pay dividends may be limited by instruments governing future outstanding indebtedness we may incur.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.
FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit an investor’s ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares and, thereby, depress their market prices.
Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our corporate charter and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things included in these provisions:
our board of directors is divided into three classes, one class of which is elected each year by our stockholders with the directors in each class to serve for a three-year term;
the authorized number of directors can be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;
directors may be removed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of our voting stock, whether for cause or without cause;
our bylaws may be amended or repealed by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of our stockholders;
stockholders may not call special meetings of the stockholders or fill vacancies on the board of directors;
our board of directors will be authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, could operate as a “poison pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that our board of directors does not approve;
our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, and therefore our stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors; and
our stockholders must comply with advance notice provisions to bring business before or nominate directors for election at a stockholder meeting.
Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain types of state actions that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, employees, control persons, underwriters, or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, employees, control persons, underwriters, or agents. Additionally, a court could determine that the exclusive forum provision is unenforceable, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If a court were to find these provisions of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion, which focuses on our results of operations, contains forward-looking information and statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those indicated or anticipated, as discussed in the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements.” The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should also be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes to financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Company Overview
Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee” “we”, “us” or the “Company”) is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of recreational and commercial power boats. We believe our company, founded in 1996, has been an innovator in the recreational and commercial power catamaran industry. Our twin-hull catamaran running surface, known as a symmetrical catamaran hull design, adds to the Twin Vee ride quality by reducing drag, increasing fuel efficiency and offering users a stable riding boat. Twin Vee’s home base of operations in Fort Pierce, Florida is a 7.5-acre facility with several buildings totaling approximately 100,000 square feet, including a nearly complete 30,000 square foot expansion which began in mid-2024. We currently employ approximately 70 people.
Twin Vee products are marketed under two brands: Twin Vee for our catamarans, or dual hull vessels, and Bahama Boat Works for our “V”-hull boats. Consumers can use our boats for a wide range of recreational activities including fishing, diving and water skiing and commercial activities including transportation, eco tours, fishing and diving expeditions. We believe that the performance, quality and value of our boats position us to achieve our goal of increasing our market share and expanding the power-boat market. We currently primarily sell our boats through a network of 17 independent boat dealers across North America, Hawaii, and Australia who resell our boats to the end user Twin Vee customers. We continue efforts to recruit high quality boat dealers to join our network and seek to establish new dealers and distributors domestically and internationally to distribute our boats as we grow our production and introduce new models. Our boats are currently outfitted with gas-powered outboard combustion engines. During 2024, Forza X1, Inc., our minority owned electric boat subsidiary determined to cease production of electric boats and on November 26, 2024, Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza”), was merged into Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Twin Vee (“Merger Sub”) and became a wholly owned subsidiary.
Revenue from the sale of our boats accounted for nearly 100% of our net revenue in the third quarter of 2025 and for the fiscal year 2024. Our boats are manufactured in Fort Pierce, Florida. We believe our company has been an innovator in the recreational and commercial power boat industry. We currently have 12 Twin Vee models in or nearing production ranging in size from 24-foot to 40-foot, and 9 monohull (Bahama) models in or nearing production ranging in size from 22-foot to 41-foot. Revenues are also derived from the sale of short-term contracts to provide used boat listing services through Wizz Banger, Inc., which is recognized into revenues over the life of the contract.
During the 2025 and 2024 fiscal years, we focused our efforts on increased throughput through our facility, and integrating the new models from our Bahama Boats brand that we acquired in 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, two individual dealers each represented over 10% of our total sales and in the aggregate represented 27% of total sales. During the year ended December 31, 2024, three individual dealers represented over 10% of our total sales, and in the aggregate represented 40% of total sales.
Recent Developments
First Amendment to the License and Conditional Sale Agreement with Revver Digital, LLC
Effective July 14, 2025, we and our recently formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Wizz Banger, Inc. (“Wizz Banger”), entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to that certain license and conditional sale agreement (the “License and Sale Agreement”), entered into and effective as of February 4, 2025, by and between us and Revver Digital, LLC, providing us with the right to acquire certain intellectual property of OWM (the “OWM Intellectual Property”) related to (a) the online marketplace, advertisement, marketing, and sale services of yachts, boats, and yacht and boat accessories and (b) arranging of loans, insurance, and warranty services related to yachts and boats under the brands “Yachts for Sale” and “Boats for Sale” through the websites available at the domains (the “Domains”) “yachtsforsale.com” and “boatsforsale.com” (the “Business”). Pending the closing of the sale to us of the OWM Intellectual Property, the License and Sale Agreement grants us a license to use and sublicense the OWM Intellectual Property to conduct the Business in consideration of: (a) the payment to OWM of a monthly revenue-sharing royalty (the “Revenue-Sharing Royalty”) of six percent (6%) of the Aggregate Subscription Revenue (as defined in the License and Sale Agreement) of the Business;
and (b) a credit to OWM of $500 per OWM dealer who lists boats or yachts on the Domains during such period (the “Dealer Storefront Credit”). On the date of the closing of the sale to us of the OWM Intellectual Property, the License and Sale Agreement provides that in consideration of the transfer of, and as a purchase price for, the OWM Intellectual Property, we will assume certain liabilities of OWM related to the Business and pay to OWM $5,000,000, less the aggregate amount of all Revenue-Sharing Royalties paid to OWM through such date and the aggregate amount of all Dealer Storefront Credits accrued for the benefit of OWM through such date.
The First Amendment was entered into in order to (i) amend the definition of “Foreground Intellectual Property” (as defined therein), (ii) to clarify the respective rights of the parties thereunder, (iii) to assign the License and Sale Agreement to Wizz Banger, and (iv) to provide for a guaranty by us of Wizz Banger’s obligations and liabilities under the License and Sale Agreement, as amended, as provided therein and effect other amendments to the License and Sale Agreement as set forth therein.
Bahama Boat Works Acquisition
On June 5, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), with Bahama Boat Works, LLC (“Bahama Boat Works”), pursuant to which we acquired various tangible and intangible assets (the “Assets”) from Bahama Boat Works’ relating to the Bahama boat brand (the “Bahama Boat Brand”). In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, in consideration of the transferred Assets we paid Bahama Boat Works $100,000 and agreed to pay up to $2,900,000 in additional contingent consideration based upon a percentage of the revenues we receive from future sales to customers of new Bahama Boat Brand 31’, 35’, 37’, and 41’ boat models (the “Bahama Boat Revenues”). The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that Bahama Boat Works will receive 20% of the first $7,500,000 of Bahama Boat Revenues we receive and 10% of the Bahama Boat Revenues we receive in excess of $7,500,000 (but not exceeding $21,500,000) until such time as Bahama Boat Works has been paid an aggregate of $3,000,000 by us from such sales.
The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of the parties or by us, in our sole discretion, if we decide to discontinue further development, production, or commercialization of the Bahama Boat Brand product line before the balance of the contingent consideration due to Bahama Boat Works is paid. Upon any such termination, the parties may either seek to sell the Bahama Boat Brand and associated assets pursuant to a mechanism set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement or we, in our sole discretion, may elect to return the Assets to Bahama Boat Works.
Underwritten Public Offering
On May 8, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Representative”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the Representative in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “May 2025 Offering”) an aggregate of 750,000 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock at the public offering price of $4.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $3.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Shares were sold pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266858) filed with the SEC under the Securities Act and declared effective by the Commission on August 24, 2022, a base prospectus, dated August 24, 2022, included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective, and a prospectus supplement, dated May 8, 2025, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we also issued to designees of the Representative unregistered warrants to purchase up to 37,500 shares of our common stock, which equals 5% of the shares of common stock purchased in the May 2025 Offering. The May 2025 Offering closed on May 12, 2025. The net proceeds to us from the May 2025 Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, the Representative’s fees and expenses and our estimated offering expenses, were $2,555,101.
Repurchase Request
On April 21, 2025, Northpoint Commercial Finance LLC (“Northpoint”) came into possession of certain Twin Vee and AquaSport inventory of United Marine and Storage LLC, a former dealer of our products. Northpoint requested that we take possession of and repurchase the inventory in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement that we previously entered into with Northpoint. During the second quarter, we sold five of the six repossessed boats, resulting in a net loss on the sale of approximately $14,875 after transportation, refurbishment, and commissions for the second quarter. During the third quarter, we paid our obligation to Northpoint for the one remaining repurchase obligation of $58,984 and are currently marketing this boat for sale. We expect to fully recover the amount of the repurchase obligation.
Nasdaq Compliance
On May 10, 2024, 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 (March 28, 2024 through May 9, 2024), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). We were provided 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2024, to regain compliance. On November 7, 2024, we received written notification from Nasdaq granting our request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Compliance would be achieved if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to May 5, 2025.
On April 4, 2025, we filed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Our common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025 under the existing ticker symbol “VEEE.” Any share amounts and exercise or conversion prices in this report have been adjusted retrospectively for the Reverse Stock Split.
On April 28, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had determined that we now comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Establishment of Strategic Steering Committee
On January 6, 2026, we announced the formation of a strategic steering committee to focus on advancing autonomous marine technologies to address key challenges in unmanned maritime systems and help bridge gaps exposed in current defense and commercial autonomy efforts. The executive-level steering committee includes members of our board of directors and management team. Its primary focus is to explore, evaluate, and identify potential technology partners in the autonomous and AI space whose capabilities may complement Twin Vee’s marine design and manufacturing platform and to present such opportunities to our board of directors and management, as appropriate.
Formation of Black Line Defense
On January 22, 2026, we formed Black Line Defense, a wholly owned subsidiary focused on the design and manufacture of manned and autonomous maritime platforms for defense, security, and surveillance missions. Black Line Defense is seeking to pursue opportunities with the U.S. Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and allied agencies, targeting government programs allocating billions of dollars toward small-craft fleets over the coming years. The subsidiary aims to leverage Twin Vee’s existing vertically integrated manufacturing footprint, including in-house design, composite lamination, CNC tooling, wire-harness fabrication, rigging, quality control, and scalable production capacity. Black Line Defense is structured to enter the government market with limited incremental capital investment while offering cost-competitive, rapidly deployable vessel solutions for patrol, interdiction, logistics, and unmanned operations.
Appointment of Certain Officers
On September 17, 2025, our board of directors appointed Scott Searles to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, while we undertake a search to identify a permanent successor. Mr. Searles terminated his employment as our Interim Chief Financial Officer in January 2026. On January 9, 2026, Joseph Visconti was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, while we undertake a search to identify a permanent successor.
Sale of North Carolina Building
On September 26, 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Highland Myco Holdings, LLC for the sale of our property located at 100 College Drive, Marion, North Carolina, which was completed on October 31, 2025. We received $500,000 as a closing payment, with an additional $3,750,000 payable in installments of $500,000 plus accrued interest at a rate of 5% on October 31, 2026, $500,000 plus accrued interest on April 30, 2027, and a balloon payment of $2,750,000 plus accrued interest on October 31, 2027.
February 2026 Offering
On February 19, 2026, we entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC, as sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to various investors in a best efforts public offering (the “February 2026 Offering”) an aggregate of 6,383,000 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock at a public offering price of $0.47 per share. The Shares were sold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-292661) relating to the securities filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and became effective on February 13, 2026, and a prospectus, dated February 19, 2026. The February 2026 Offering closed on February 23, 2026. The net proceeds to us from the February 2026 Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, the Representative’s fees and expenses and our estimated offering expenses, were approximately $2,540,109.
Financial Condition
We finished the year with revenue up 3% compared to the prior year. Our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $1.6 million at December 31, 2025. Our property, plant, and equipment decreased as a result of the sale of the North Carolina building, sale and disposition of research and development assets related to the former electric boat development activities, and the termination of a long term building and equipment lease, partially offset by investments in additional boat molds for new models, equipment to support our increased production levels, and leasehold improvements to improve the quality of our products and new and expanded production facilities.

Net Sales and Cost Sales
Our net sales increased $430,613, or 3% to $14,819,130 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $14,388,517 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company sold 93 boats during fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 7% compared to the 87 boats sold during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The average price per unit decreased approximately $7,800 or 5%. The decrease in average price per boat was due primarily to the introduction of the 22’ BayCat in early 2025, which sold 15 units at an average selling price of below $100,000, and an overall lower average price per large boat sold during the year.
Gross Profit
Gross profits increased by $2,008,530, or 267% to $1,257,105 in 2025 compared to a negative $751,425 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 8.5% compared to a negative 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit reflects our ongoing efforts to reduce our cost structure, such as bringing certain manufacturing operations in-house, better utilization of our ERP system and direct labor leveraged against higher volumes.
Total Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $10,038,404 and $13,800,344, respectively, a decrease of $3,761,940 or 27%. Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included an impairment charge of $418,416 and 1,674,000, respectively, related to the impairment of the partially constructed Forza building based on an appraisal prior to the merger of Twin Vee and Forza. Before the impact of this charge, operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $9,619,988 and $12,126,344, respectively, a decrease of $2,506,356 or 21%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 19%, or $593,466 to $2,502,402 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3,095,868 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Salaries and wage-related expenses decreased by approximately 12%, or $581,471 to $4,325,348 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4,906,819 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decline is primarily related to significant reductions in headcount at Forza, including a $759,765 decline in stock-based compensation partially offset by $422,844 in combined salaries and wages and stock-based compensation related to the development of Wizz Banger. Also resulting from the reduction in headcount year over year were related reductions in the cost of benefits, primarily health insurance, holiday pay and 401K.
Professional fees decreased by 48%, or $802,384 to $867,090 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,669,474 for the year ended 2024. The decrease in professional fees related primarily to the merger between Twin Vee and Forza during 2024. Costs incurred were for legal representation, auditor consents, fairness opinions, appraisals, filings and other similar costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by less than 1%, or $10,987 to $1,734,230 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,745,217 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease is due to significant investments in equipment, leasehold improvements and boat molds more than offset by the sale of Forza R&D equipment and the termination of a significant lease agreement for building and equipment.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $0 compared to $586,379, for the year ended December 31, 2025. This reduction was due to the discontinuance of the development of our electric propulsion system for Forza.
Other income decreased by 68%, or $367,839 to $174,026 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $541,863 for the year ended, 2024. The decrease in other income is primarily the result of lower dividends and interest on investments resulting from the liquidation of investments to fund operations and capital investments.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $8,607,273, compared to $14,009,906 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an improvement of 39%. Both 2025 and 2024 were challenging years with overall boat production down from previous periods. We reduced both variable and fixed operating costs, including shutting down the Forza research and development operation. The deleveraging of our fixed costs on such a low revenue base led to continued losses. We have reduced our head count to match current production levels and continue to right-size the business for the current state of the economy, while keeping our core strengths intact. Basic and dilutive loss per share of common stock improved for the year ended December 31, 2025 to ($4.37) compared to ($11.01) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A primary source of funds for the year ended December 31, 2025 was net cash received from sales of our equity securities and revenue generated from operations. Our primary use of cash was related to funding the low-level revenue related cash-losses from operations and capital improvements. Our priority over the next year is to grow our revenue base while managing working capital, including improving inventory turns.

Working capital
We do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet ongoing expenses for at least twelve months from the date of the filing of this Annual Report. As of December 31, 2025, we had $1,646,695 of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, total current assets of $4,897,217, and total assets of $16,234,369. Our total liabilities were $2,766,558. Our total liabilities were comprised of current liabilities of $2,244,513, which included accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,829,083, contract liability of $395,932, and finance lease liability of $19,498, and long-term liabilities of $522,045. As of December 31, 2024, we had $7,706,240 of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and total current assets of $10,419,141 and total assets of $25,887,905. Our total current liabilities were $3,747,990 and total liabilities of $6,671,055 which included long-term operating lease liabilities for the lease of our facility.
Going Concern
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred a loss from operations of $8,781,299 and a net loss of $8,607,273. As of December 31, 2025, we had accumulated deficits of $34,000,228. To address these conditions:
We have demonstrated improving recent recovery trends, with revenues and gross margins increasing compared to the prior year, however not to a level that yet supports a positive cash flow.
As of December 31, 2025, we maintain a cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance exceeding $1.6 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed the sale of our Marion, North Carolina facility, generating $500,000 in cash in the fourth quarter of 2025, and expected cash payments of $500,000 in 2026 and $3,250,000 in 2027, plus interest at 5%.
On February 19, 2026, the Company announced the pricing of a best-efforts public offering of 6,383,000 shares of common stock. Each share of common is being sold at a public offering price of $0.47 per share. Total gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, were approximately $3 million. The offering closed on February 23, 2026.
Management continues to implement cost controls, operational improvements, and revenue initiatives to further strengthen our financial position.
Despite our ongoing efforts to mitigate these conditions, there can be no assurance that our expenses will not increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our continued operations, there can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to fill new orders and develop new products. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this Report are filed with the SEC, and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations and/or raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate efforts to expand our dealer network or develop new models and may be forced to cease operations or liquidate assets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The notes to our consolidated financial statements contained herein contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of our operations:
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial.
Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit, which is included in contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States “U.S. GAAP” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in those estimates are assumptions about allowances for inventory obsolescence, useful life of fixed assets, and warranty reserves.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method on a first-in first-out basis. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.
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, the recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts. If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value, based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.
Product Warranty Costs
As required by FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees , the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.
The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. The Company’s warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate.
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations .
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 SEC rules.
