At closing, we issued 3,738,911 shares of our Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) which had a fair market value of $10,431,562. Fifteen (15%)includes transaction costs, amortization of the Share Consideration (the “Escrow Shares”) was deposited in an escrow account for a period of eighteen (18) months as security for indemnification obligations, any purchase price adjustments dueacquired intangible assets, and other expenses directly related to working capital deficiencieseach respective acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on estimates and any other claims or expenses. In December 2021,assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable and Teal agreed to a reductionare not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisitions closed on the dates indicated in the purchase pricetables, nor are they indicative of $438,058 which resultedresults of operations that may occur in the cancellation of 150,639 shares held in escrow. The fair market value of the cancelled shares was $420,283. A revised summary of the purchase price and its related allocation is set forth below.

The Stock Consideration payable under the Merger Agreement may be increased upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Earn-Out Consideration”). Additional shares of Common Stock may become issuable by the Company in the event that within twenty-four (24) months following closing of the Merger, Teal realizes certain revenue targets. A total of Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000) in additional shares of Common Stock will be issued if sales and services of Teal's Golden Eagle drones equal at least Thirty-six Million Dollars ($36,000,000). A total of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in additional shares of Common Stock will be issued if sales and services of Teal's Golden Eagle drones equal at least $24 million ($24,000,000) but less than $36 million ($36,000,000). A total of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in additional shares of Common Stock will be issued if sales and services of Teal's Golden Eagle drones equal at least Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) but less than Twenty-Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000). Additional Share Consideration, if earned, is issuable at the VWAP of the Company within thirty (30) days of the determination that Earn-Out Consideration is payable.future.

Goodwill $14,294,499 
The purchase price allocation has been finalized for each acquisition based on the report from the valuation services firm engaged to assist in the identification and valuation of intangible assets acquired.

 

The fair value of shares issued by the Company as part of the consideration paid is normally based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days prior to the closing of the transaction.  For accounting purposes, the shares issued are valued based on the closing stock price on the date that the transaction closes.

The foregoing amounts reflect our current estimates of fair value as of the August 31, 2021 acquisition date. The Company expects to recognize fair values associated with the customer relationships acquired, as well as the Teal brand name, but has not yet accumulated sufficient information to assign such values. As additional information becomes known regarding the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, management may make adjustments to the opening balance sheet of the acquired company up to the end of the measurement period, which is a one-year period following the acquisition date. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and intangible assets) requires significant judgment. 

Goodwill for Rotor Riot relates to its strong social media presence including more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Goodwill for Fat Shark is attributable to its relationship with manufacturing sources in China and the potential to integrate its goggle technologies with the Teal drone.  Goodwill for Skypersonic relates to the future customers expected to leverage its “Fly Anywhere” technologies in a wide range of commercial environments.  Goodwill for Teal is ascribed to its existing relationship with several U.S. government agencies including its classification as an approved vendor.

The Company expects that the Goodwill recognized in each transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.  The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"(“GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation - Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Red Cat Propware, Inc.,which consist of Teal Drones, Fat Shark, Rotor Riot, Fat Sharking Holdings, Skypersonic, and Teal Drones.Skypersonic. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock basedstock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, and (iii) the accounting for derivatives.

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents- At October 31, 2021,2022, we had cash of $11,559,758$1,582,751 in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. We have not experienced any loss on these accountscash balances and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

InvestmentsMarketable Securities – Our investmentsmarketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Our investment manager can sell any of our investment holdings at any time,These securities are primarily invested in corporate bonds and are readily saleable, and therefore, we have classified our investmentsthem as short term. Our available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported within investmentas a component of comprehensive income (loss). Once realized, any gains or losses are recognized in our consolidated statementsthe statement of operations.

 

We have elected to present accrued interest income receivable separately from investmentsmarketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable was $371,095$312,931 and $385,730 as of October 31, 20212022 and April 30, 2022, respectively, and was recorded asincluded in other current assets. We did not write off any accrued interest receivable during the threesix months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

11

Accounts Receivable, net - Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a multitude of factors, including historical bad debt levels for its customer base, past experience with a specific customer, the economic environment, and other factors. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

  

10

Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximatesand are measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquisition over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The measurement periodsperiod for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes known, not to exceed 12 months. Adjustments in a purchase price allocation may require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which the adjustments arean adjustment is determined.

 

We perform an impairment test at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise. We have a single reporting unit,two business segments and consequently, evaluate goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of the Company as a whole.

each business segment individually.

 

LeasesProperty and equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally: (i) furniture and fixtures - seven years, (ii) equipment and related - two to five years, and (iii) leasehold improvements - 15 years.

- LeasesEffective August 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 titled “Leases” which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on a modified retrospective transition basis which means that it willdid not restate financial information for any periods prior to August 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability obligation of $796,976 and a right-of-use asset for the same amount.

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception.  Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term.  The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses an effective discount rate of 12% based on its recentlast debt financings.financing. Operating lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments.  Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight linestraight-line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced by the amount of the expense. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease when they are reasonably certain to occur.

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities, and Related Disclosures

The fair value measurements and disclosure guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

  

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

12

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset.

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company's financial instruments mainly consist of cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt. The carrying amounts of its cash, receivables, current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current debt approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Convertible Securities and Derivatives

When the Company issues convertible debt or equity instruments that contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds from the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value but no lower than zero. Any excess amount is recognized as a derivative expense.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. 

In October 2020 and January 2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering. This variable conversion feature was recognized as a derivative. Both financings included the issuance of warrants which contained similar variable conversion features. The Company values these convertible notes and warrants using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition- The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered regarding revenue recognition including (i) identifying the promised goods, (ii) evaluating performance obligations, (iii) measuring the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations if there are multiple components, and (v) recognizing revenue as each obligation is satisfied.  The Company's revenue transactions include a single component, specifically, the shipment of goods to customers as orders are fulfilled. Customers pay at the time they order and the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment. The timing of the shipment of orders can vary considerably depending upon whether an order is for an item normally maintained in inventory or an order that requires assembly or unique parts. Customer deposits totaled $117,842 and $46,096 at October 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively.

Research and Development- Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, as well as a proportionate share of overhead costs such as rent. Costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until technological feasibility is reached, which for our software products, is generally shortly before the products are released to production. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized as a cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products.

Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

13

Recent Accounting Pronouncements- Management does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency - The functional currency of our international subsidiary is the local currency. For that subsidiary, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders' equity. Net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency are recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Loss- During the three and six months ended October 31, 2021, differences between net loss and comprehensive loss totaled $922 and $1,591, respectively, relating to foreign currency translation adjustments. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2020, there were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation- We use the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. We recognize compensation costs on a straight line basis over the service period which is generally the vesting term.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share - Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future.

Related Parties - Parties are considered to be related to us if they have control or significant influence, directly or indirectly, over us, including key management personnel and members of the Board of Directors. Related Party transactions are disclosed in Note 17. 

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

We disclose and recognize the fair value of our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

Any excess amount is recognized as a derivative expense.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. 

In October 2020 and January 2021, the Company entered into convertible note agreements which included provisions under which the conversion price was equal to the lesser of an initial stated amount or the conversion price of a future offering.

Foreign CurrencyThe functional currency of our international subsidiary is the local currency. For that subsidiary, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Loss – Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity and are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. During the six months ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, comprehensive loss was $218,133 higher and $1,591 lower than net loss, respectively, related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities totaling $217,229 and $0, respectively, as well as by foreign currency translation adjustments of negative $904 and positive $1,591.

Stock-Based Compensation – For stock options, we use the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. For restricted stock, we determine the fair value based on our stock price on the date of grant. For both stock options and restricted stock, we recognize compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the service period which is the vesting term.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The conversion or exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if we become profitable in the future.

Outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive included the following:

Segment Reporting

Since January 2020, we have acquired four separate businesses operating in various aspects of the drone industry. Following the most recent acquisition, the Company focused on integrating and organizing its acquired businesses. These efforts included refining the establishment of Enterprise and Consumer segments to sharpen the Company’s focus on the unique opportunities in each sector of the drone industry. The Enterprise segment, which includes Teal Drones and Skypersonic, is focused on opportunities in the commercial sector, including military. Enterprise is building the infrastructure to manage drone fleets, fly and provide services remotely, and navigate confined industrial interior spaces and dangerous military environments. The Consumer segment, which includes Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, is focused on enthusiasts and hobbyists which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our daily lives. Effective May 1, 2022, we began to manage our business operations through these business segments. The reportable segments were identified based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. See “Note 20 - Segment Reporting”.

Note 16 -18 – Derivatives

 

The Company completed financings in October 2020 and January 2021 which included notes and warrants containing embedded features subject to derivative accounting. See Note 1012 for a full description of these financings. Both the notes and the warrants included provisions which provided for a reduction in the conversion and exercise prices, respectively, if the Company completed a future qualified offering at a lower price. These provisions represent embedded derivatives which are valued separately from the host instrument (meaning the notes and warrants) and recognized as derivative liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company initially measures these financial instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company also measures these financial instruments on the date of settlement (meaning when the note is converted, or the warrant is exercised) at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations. Any discount in the carrying value of the note is fully amortized on the date of settlement and recognized as interest expense. The Company estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a multinomial lattice mode1.model. The range of underlying assumptions used in the binomial model to determine the fair value of the derivative warrant liability upon settlement of the derivative liability and as of October 31, 20212022 and April 30, 2022 are set forth below. In addition, the Company's stock price on each measurement date was used in the model.

Note 1820 - Segment Reporting

We define our segments as those operations whose results are regularly reviewed by our CODM to analyze performance and allocate resources. Therefore, segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Our CODM is a committee comprised of our CEO, COO, and CFO.

The Enterprise segment is focused on opportunities in the commercial sector, including military. Enterprise is building the infrastructure to manage drone fleets, fly and provide services remotely, and navigate confined industrial interior spaces and dangerous military environments.

The Consumer segment is focused on enthusiasts and hobbyists which are expected to increase as drones become more visible in our daily lives.

Our CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of our two operating segments based on the operating segments’ net sales and gross profit. The following table sets forth information by reportable segment for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively.

Sale of Consumer Segment

On November 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with Unusual Machines, Inc. (“UM”) and Jeffrey Thompson, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Principal Stockholder”), related to the sale of the Company’s consumer business consisting of Rotor Riot, (“RR”), and Fat Shark Holdings (“FS”), for $18 million in cash and securities of UM.

The purchase price consists of (i) $5 million in cash (as increased for positive working capital and decreased for negative working capital at closing) plus (ii) $2.5 million in a convertible senior note of UM (the “Senior Note”) plus (iii) $10.5 million in Series A convertible preferred stock of UM (the “Series A Stock”).  The Senior Note and Series A Stock will be convertible into Common Stock at the lesser of $4.00 per share or the IPO price of UM. The Senior Note and Series A Stock shall contain beneficial ownership blockers under which conversion shall be limited to 4.99% and/or 9.99% of the total voting power of UM, and may be further subject to limitations on voting and conversion required in order to conform with requirements of NASDAQ related to the issuance of more than 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5635(d). The Senior Note and Series A Stock will include anti-dilution protection in the case of issuances by UM at a price lower than the then applicable conversion price for so long as the Senior Note or Series A Stock remains outstanding under which the conversion price will be reduced to such lower price as UM shall issue or agree to issue any of its securities.

Under the terms of the SPA the Principal Stockholder and UM have agreed to indemnification obligations, which shall survive for a period of 9 months, subject to certain limitations, which includes a basket of $250,000 before any claim can be asserted and a cap equal to the value of the escrow shares, other than in cases involving fraud. The Principal Stockholder agreed to deposit 450,000 shares of UM common stock owned to secure any indemnification obligations.

As a condition to closing, UM shall enter into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer including non-compete provisions, which cannot be amended or waived without the prior written consent of the Company. UM, RR and FS will also be subject to non-competition agreements restricting activities involving Class I ISR drones, and for military, government, and enterprise customers.

The closing of the SPA is subject to customary closing conditions which include shareholder approval by the Company’s shareholders following filing with the SEC and mailing of the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A and the approval of the transactions by a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the Company. The Principal Stockholder, who holds approximately 24% of the voting power of the Company, shall abstain from the vote on approval of the SPA. On November 21, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the SPA and its submission to shareholders for approval. In addition, closing of the SPA is subject to successful completion of an initial public offering (the “IPO”) by UM in the minimum amount of $15 million, and the listing of UM’s common stock on NASDAQ. The SPA requires the Company to cooperate with UM in connection with the IPO and to deliver audited financial statements of RR and FS. UM has agreed to register all of the common stock for which the Senior Note is convertible in the IPO for resale by the Company, or to pay the note in full with proceeds of the offering at closing, at UM’s election. In addition, UM has agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement for 100% of the common stock for which the Series A Stock may be converted and to use its best efforts to file and have declared effective such registration statement, on demand and on a piggy-back basis in connection with any other registration statements filed by UM.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. 

Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock-based compensation, (ii) complete purchase price accounting for acquisitions, and (iii) accounting for derivatives.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2021, except that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons:2022.

We did not maintain effective controls regarding the timely financial reporting of accounting transactions. Specifically, certain individuals did not provide reporting on a timely basis regarding certain corporate banking accounts which they managed. The failure to comply with the Company's internal reporting deadlines increases the risk that (i) transactions are not properly accounted for, and (ii) adequate documentation is not obtained. Both risks can adversely impact the accuracy of our financial reporting. The Company is presently evaluating how to remedy this internal control weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
