Risks Related to our
Business and Financial Condition
Risks Related to our Financial Condition
Risks Related to Our Sale of Drone-Related Products and Operations in the Drone Industry
Our failure to effectively manage our rapid growth could harm our business and result in material adverse effects on our future operating results.
Businesses which grow rapidly may have difficulty managing their growth. With our recent enterprise orders and commencement of manufacturing, we are experiencing explosive growth. In addition to our legacy facility which we are presently using to assemble drones for a customer, we have opened two manufacturing facilities and a fulfillment facility. We also plan to open a battery pack assembly and drone camera facility late in 2026. With this growth, we have increased our headcount from 18 employees as of March 31, 2025, to 81 employees as of December 31, 2025, and have approximately 141 employees as of March 6, 2026. This growth will place a strain on our executive management team. We may be unable to effectively manage the growth, oversee our manufacturing facilities and maintain quality control, integrate our new hires into our company culture and effectively deal with any human resource issues that may arise. In addition, with our rapid growth, we need to retain an OSHA consultant to identify, evaluate and control potential workplace hazards to prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities. We intend to retain a consultant to conduct such an assessment but there can be no assurance that any workplace hazards, injuries, illnesses and fatalities may occur. As a result of these factors, we may face a material adverse effect on our business and future result of operations.
Because we have ordered substantial inventory in some cases prior to receipt of purchase orders, if our assumptions about future purchase orders are incorrect, it is possible that we may have to write off some of the inventory in the future.
Based upon communications with customers and potential customers, we order inventory to not only fulfill actual purchase orders from customers but also to be able to fulfill future customer orders assuming we receive them. If we do not receive the anticipated orders for this inventory and if we are unable to otherwise sell it, we may be required to increase our reserves or write off inventory in the future because it is obsolete. Any such write off could be material.
Increased inventory levels can also increase the potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to materialize or if there are negative factors impacting our customers’ end markets. Such a risk becomes especially prevalent during a recession and market downturn. If we purchase too much inventory, we may have to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and on our results of operations.
Because of our dependence on significant customers, our failure to generate revenue from those customers may impair our ability achieve projected financial results.
Beginning on September 30, 2025, we obtained a number of new purchase orders from a limited number of customers. On September 30, 2025, we announced a $12.8 million purchase order for components supplying Strategic Logix’s (“SL”) Rapid Reconfigurable Systems Line. There is no formal contract backstopping this purchase order. This purchase order represents the largest order that we have received.
We have, in the past, and expect for the foreseeable future, to be dependent on a small number of customers, to generate a significant portion of our revenue, and these customers may change periodically. As a result, our financial results may be adversely affected if purchase orders from new or existing customers do not meet our assumptions or if there is a default in a significant payment by any of our customers. Furthermore, to the extent that any one customer accounts for a large percentage of our revenue, the loss of that customer, or changes in their buying patterns or decisions, could materially affect our financial results. If our customers experience financial difficulties or business reversals, or lose orders or anticipated orders, which may reduce or eliminate the need for the products which they ordered from us, they may be unable or unwilling to fulfill their contracts with us.
There is also a risk that our customers will attempt to impose new or additional requirements on us that reduce the profitability of the orders placed by those customers with us. Further, even if the orders are not changed, these orders may not generate margins equal to our recent historical or targeted results. If we do not book more orders with existing customers, or develop relationships with new customers, we may not be able to increase, or even maintain, our revenue, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and/or prospects may be materially adversely affected.
In order to grow and increases revenues, we are subject to the following:
If critical components or raw materials used to manufacture our products or used in its development programs become scarce or unavailable, then we may incur delays in manufacturing and delivery of our products, which could damage our business.
Our ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on its ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of high-quality materials, components and subsystems, many of which are obtained from a select group of specialized suppliers, including some sole-source providers. In order to mitigate potential disruptions, we maintain long-term, non-binding agreements with several key suppliers that help stabilize pricing, reduce lead times and enhance planning accuracy. We do not have long-term agreements with all suppliers that obligate them to continue to sell components, products required to build our systems or products. Our reliance on suppliers without long-term binding contracts involves significant risks and uncertainties, including whether our suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required components or products of sufficient quality, will increase prices for the components or products and will perform their obligations on a timely basis.
If any of our supplier’s face capacity constraints, financial instability, or an unwillingness to provide raw materials or components to us, it may need to seek alternative suppliers or revise its designs, particularly because some of the components are sourced from foreign countries. Locating alternative sources may take significant time, and even then, we may encounter significant delays in manufacturing and shipping and encounter increased costs. Additionally, credit constraints among key suppliers could impact our cash flow. We have also experienced rising costs for components, shipping, tariffs, warehousing, and inventory. Our domestic suppliers have experienced increased demand for their products due to tariffs, which could impact the availability or price of our components. The permanence of these cost increases remains uncertain, and obtaining replacement components within our required time frames may prove challenging. Shortages could lead to excess inventory and potential obsolescence risks.
In addition, certain raw materials and components used in the manufacture of our products and in our development programs, are periodically subject to supply shortages, and our business is subject to the risks of price increases and periodic delays in delivery.
Our ability to stay competitive within our markets may be dependent upon increasing manufacturing capacity to support anticipated growth and achieving cost reductions and projected economies of scale from increasing manufacturing quantities of its products. Failing to adequately increase production capacity and achieve such reductions in manufacturing costs and projected economies of scale could materially and adversely affect our business.
Our future growth depends on increasing manufacturing capacity of its products, and any failure to adequately increase such capacity could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results. We do not know whether or when we will be able to develop efficient, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes that will enable it to manufacture its products in commercial quantities while meeting the volume, speed, quality, price, engineering, design and production standards required to successfully market such products. Our failure to develop such manufacturing processes and capabilities that can efficiently service its clients and markets could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our ability to remain competitive is, in part, dependent upon achieving increased savings from volume purchases of raw materials and component parts, achieving acceptable manufacturing yield and capitalizing on machinery efficiencies.
We are subject to a number of supply risks concerning our Blue List products which could adversely impact our ability to deliver such products to the United States Government and commercial customers.
Because we rely on a limited number of suppliers, for our component parts our business may be adversely affected.
The drone industry relies on limited sources to supply certain components and materials used in the manufacturing of drone components. We are seeking to purchase certain components or sub-components from suppliers based in the United States, which may lead us to pay higher prices, or select parts from a more limited number of suppliers relative to our competitors, which would adversely impact our gross margins and operating results. In addition, the outcome of the United States tariff policies could significantly increase the cost of our component parts. We will also be forced to increase prices to our customers which could result in decreased sales, especially if there is an economic recession. Our operating results could be materially and adversely impacted if our suppliers do not provide the critical components used to assemble our products on a timely basis, at a reasonable price, and in sufficient quantities.
Some of the key components used to manufacture our products come from a limited supply, or by a supplier that could potentially become a competitor. Our contract manufacturers generally purchase these components on our behalf from approved suppliers. We are subject to the risk of shortages and long lead times in the supply of these components and the risk that our suppliers discontinue or modify components used in our products. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. We order inventory on a purchase order basis, and these firms do not have a contractual obligation to provide adequate supply or acceptable pricing to us on a long-term basis. These suppliers could discontinue sourcing merchandise for us at any time.
If we lose access to components from a particular supplier or experience a significant disruption in the supply of products and components from a current supplier, we may be unable to locate alternative suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all, and our business could be materially and adversely affected. If any of these suppliers were to discontinue its relationship with us, or discontinue providing specific products to us, and we are unable to contract with a new supplier that can meet our requirements, or if they or such other supplier were to suffer a disruption in their production, we could experience disruption of our inventory flow, a decrease in sales and the possible need to re-design our products. Any such event could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we experience a significant increase in demand for our products, our suppliers might not have the capacity or elect not to meet our needs as they allocate components to other customers. Developing suitable alternate sources of supply for these components may be time-consuming, difficult and costly, and we may not be able to source these components on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, which may adversely affect our ability to fill our orders in a timely or cost-effective manner. Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with the supplier’s quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability, labor and other ethical practices, and if we seek to source materials from new suppliers, there can be no assurance that we could do so in a manner that does not disrupt the manufacture and sale of our products.
Our reliance on a small number of suppliers involves a number of additional risks, including risks related to supplier capacity constraints, price increases, timely delivery, component quality, failure of a key supplier to remain in business and adjust to market conditions, delays in, or the inability to execute on, a supplier roadmap for components and technologies; and natural disasters, fire, acts of terrorism or other catastrophic events, including global pandemics.
The development and manufacturing of headsets encompasses several complex processes and several steps of our production processes are dependent upon third party vendors, supply chains, the availability of PCBs, optics, and certain chips. Any change in availability of these components, manufacturing or design partners could result in delivery interruptions, which could adversely affect our operating results.
As we continue to develop our products, we must progress through the complex and challenging processes involved in the technology and designs on which Fat Shark and Rotor Riot products are based. Fat Shark and Rotor Riot rely on third party suppliers for the resources needed to navigate these processes and expect to continue to rely on such parties when we manufacture and market our component parts. Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and service providers will entail risks to which we may not be subject if our future operations were more vertically integrated, including:
Any of these factors could result in a material and adverse affect upon our results of operations.
Because our new manufacturing business has inherent risks, such risks may adversely impact us.
We have recently opened drone motor and drone headset manufacturing facilities. We are using our initial facility to assemble drones for a customer, and plan to open a battery pack assembly and drone camera manufacturing facility in late 2026. There are inherent risks in connection with launching our component manufacturing business, which include:
Our products, including motors, batteries, and other advanced components, rely on rare earth metals for their manufacturing, of which a significant majority are sourced from China. Any disruption in the supply of these metals could adversely affect our ability to produce and deliver our products. Factors that might lead to such disruptions include geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, supply chain bottlenecks, and environmental regulations affecting mining operations. A limited supply or increased cost of rare earth metals could lead to higher production costs, delays in manufacturing schedules, and potential inability to meet customer demand, thereby impacting our revenue and growth plans. Managing these risks necessitates close monitoring of supply chains, diversification of suppliers, and the pursuit of alternative materials or technologies where possible.
Escalating restrictions between the U.S. and China contribute to supply chain complexities. Some of our components sourced from foreign countries, including China, are at risk of further sanctions and other trade restrictive actions, and any escalation in global trade tensions or trade restrictions may hinder our ability to obtain these components from new suppliers. Restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and raw materials could lead to higher material costs, material unavailability, and transportation uncertainty.
Product quality issues and a higher-than-expected number of warranty claims or returns could harm our business and operating results.
The products that we sell including the new drone motors, headsets and cameras we manufacture could contain defects in design or manufacture. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and remedy all defects in the products we sell, which could result in product recalls, product redesign efforts, loss of revenue, reputational damage and significant warranty and other remediation expenses. Similar to other mobile and consumer electronics, our products have a risk of overheating in the course of usage or upon malfunction. Any such defect could result in harm to property or in personal injury. If we determine that a product does not meet product quality standards or may contain a defect, the launch of such product could be delayed until we remedy the quality issue or defect. The costs associated with any protracted delay necessary to remedy a quality issue or defect in a new product could be substantial.
Fat Shark generally provides a one-year warranty on all of its products, except in certain European countries where it can be two years for some consumer-focused products.
Rotor Lab does not provide any warranty, but does provide for a seven day defect period.
Unusual Machines, the parent company which manufactures motors, has a limited warranty in which it warrants to customers that their products will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for up to 90 days. The limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature failures and extends only to the original customer and is non-transferrable.
The occurrence of any material defects in our products could expose us to liability for damages and warranty claims in excess of our current reserves, and we could incur significant costs to correct any defects, warranty claims or other problems. In addition, if any of our product designs are defective or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall campaign. In part due to the terms of our warranty policies, any failure rate of our products that exceeds our expectations may result in unanticipated losses. Any negative publicity related to the perceived quality of our products could affect our brand images and decrease retailer, distributor and consumer confidence and demand, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Further, accidental damage coverage and extended warranties are regulated in the United States at the state level and are treated differently within each state. Additionally, outside of the United States, regulations for extended warranties and accidental damage vary from country-to-country. Changes in interpretation of the regulations concerning extended warranties and accidental damage coverage on a federal, state, local or international level may cause us to incur costs or have additional regulatory requirements to meet in the future in order to continue to offer its support services. Our failure to comply with past, present and future similar laws could result in reduced sales of its products, reputational damage, penalties and other sanctions, which could harm our business.
Estimated future product warranty claims may be based on a variety of factors including the expected number of field failures over the warranty commitment period, the term of the product warranty period, and the costs for repair, replacement and other associated costs. Because of the foregoing or other contingencies, these estimates could prove to be incorrect, such that the warranty obligations are higher than anticipated. Warranty obligations may be affected by product failure rates, claims levels, material usage and product re-integration and handling costs. Should actual product failure rates, claims levels, material usage, product re-integration and handling costs, defects, errors, bugs or other issues differ from original estimates, Fat Shark could end up incurring materially higher warranty or recall expenses than anticipated, which would materially adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to our Business and Financial
Condition
Because the Company
had a limited operating history prior to its acquisition of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, any investment in us is highly speculative.
We completed our acquisitions
of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot simultaneously with the closing of our IPO in February 2024. Both companies, prior to the completion of the
acquisitions, were operated by Red Cat since their acquisition by Red Cat in 2020. While the management of each company remained as employees,
no Red Cat officer, other than Dr. Allan Evans who became our Chief Executive Officer in December 2023, and our Chief Operating Officer
in March 2024, respectively, joined us. Our management team is headed by our executive officers together with individuals from Fat Shark
and Rotor Riot, and our operations going forward are therefore subject to ordinary integration risks where two companies and two cultures
are combined. Further, we may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences
or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels
are based largely on our budgeted plans and estimates of future revenue. Similarly, if we are able to raise additional funds in future
financing transactions, we may use a portion of those proceeds to acquire other operating businesses in our industry or in related industries
to facilitate strategic growth and build our market presence and revenue potential. If we do acquire one or more businesses in the future,
we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force
us to curtail our business operations or plan of operations or acquisitions.
Unusual Machines must
be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages
of operations, and growth process. For all these reasons, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability in some or all of our
business segments in a timely manner or at all.
Fat Shark and Rotor Riot have incurred net
losses since their acquisition by Red Cat and may fail to achieve or maintain profitability.
Since their acquisition by Red Cat in 2020, Fat
Shark and Rotor Riot incurred net losses for each reported quarter with the exception of Fat Shark which reported a small net income in
the quarter ended July 31, 2022. Further, Unusual Machines was formed in July 2019 did not conduct any operational business activities
until February 2024 after the completion of our IPO and acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot. Following our acquisition of Fat Shark
and Rotor Riot, their operations constitute our business. Further, Fat Shark had lower revenues in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal
year 2022, and Rotor Riot had higher net losses in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022, and generally experiences fluctuating
revenue as a result of recurring seasonal sales cycles. We will need to generate higher revenues and control operating costs in order
to attain profitability. There can be no assurances that we will be able to do so or to reach profitability.
We expect to continue to incur losses for the
foreseeable future and we expect costs to increase in future periods as we expend substantial financial and other resources on, among
other things:
Rising threats of international tariffs, including tariffs applied
to goods between the United States and China, may materially and adversely affect our business.
Our B2C business has historically been dependent
on Chinese imports for our products and operations. For example, a majority of our products are manufactured, directly and indirectly,
using Chinese vendors. We do not have any written agreements with our other suppliers in China. We rely only on purchase orders. There
are inherent risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of our rights with respect to our oral agreements and purchase orders.
Should our suppliers in China fail to honor our oral agreements and purchase orders we will not have any recourse against such suppliers
under Chinese law. The legal system in China and the enforcement of laws, rules and regulations in China can change quickly and the Chinese
government may intervene or influence the operations of our suppliers which would adversely impact our business insofar as we would have
to seek other suppliers outside of China and such suppliers would most likely charge us more for our products. As a result of the recent
United States presidential election, President Trump has imposed steep and additional tariffs on the importation from China of goods including
the drones we use in our B2C business. This increase in tariffs imposed could materially and adversely affect our business and results
of operations. These tariffs apply to the vast majority of our respective inventory, and we have historically increased prices and may
in the future be forced to implement additional price increases to adjust to the higher costs of inventory, which imposes the risk of
reduced demand for such products and lower sales and resulting revenue. In addition, additional tariffs have been instituted on Chinese
products and could see potential additional tariffs in the future. Under the current Trump administration, the imposition of additional
tariffs fluctuates dramatically and have created uncertainty in the global markets. Future tariffs or any further costs or restrictions
imposed on products that we import, could require us to raise our prices on our B2C products, which may result in the loss of customers
and harm our business, particularly since we rely on consumer spending and our products are typically considered non-essential, and purchases
are therefore highly price sensitive.
In addition, changes in political conditions in
China and changes in the state of China-United States relations, including any tensions relating to potential military conflict between
China and Taiwan, are difficult to predict and could adversely affect the operations or financial condition of the Company. In addition,
because of our B2C involvement in the Chinese market, any deterioration in political or trade relations might cause a public perception
in the United States or elsewhere that might cause that business to become less attractive. Such an impact could adversely affect our
revenues and cash flows. In addition to Chinese tariffs, one of our first B2B customers was a European company. If the European Union
and other European countries react to the United States tariffs by imposing tariffs on United States made product including our drones,
the trade war may make our B2B drone part too expensive.
A direct impact from rising tariffs on our business
will be increases in the prices of inventory we acquire and, most likely, an increase in our selling prices. Further, due to the tariffs
and possibly large cuts in the size of the government, there may be increased unemployment and other economic factors which result in
recession. In such event, our B2C business may be materially and adversely affected. Further, our B2B business including our proposed
manufacturing of drones in the United States may also be adversely affected by a recessionary economy and inflation.
If our existing cash
is insufficient to meet our working capital needs, and if we are then not able to obtain sufficient capital, we may be forced to limit
the scope of our operations.
We expect that our existing cash will be sufficient
to meet our working capital needs for at least 12 months. However, due to our continued negative cash flow we may require substantial
additional working capital.
There can be no assurance that our businesses
will reach profitability. If adequate additional debt and/or equity financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, then we
may not be able to continue to develop our business activities, and we will have to modify our business plan. These factors could have
a material adverse effect on our future operating results and our financial condition.
Our ability to raise financing through sales of
equity linked securities depends on general market conditions and the demand for our Common Stock. To the extent that we raise additional
capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of stockholders will be diluted, and the terms
may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt transactions often include
restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to engage in strategic transactions, acquire complimentary businesses, or adjust to
changing market environments as quickly or efficiently as we otherwise would or at all. Further, if adequate financing is not available
or is unavailable on acceptable terms, we may find we are unable to fund our planned expansion, take advantage of acquisition opportunities,
develop or enhance our products, or respond to competitive pressures in the industry which may jeopardize our ability to continue operations.
Our future success depends in large part on the
continued contributions of our executive officers, members of senior management and other key personnel, particularly Dr. Allan Evans,
our Chief Executive Officer.Officer and Mr. Andrew Camden, our President. In particular, we believe that Dr. Evans’ leadership, knowledge
and experience in the drone industry ishas expectedbeen critical to be crucial to
our businessgrowth, planour significant working capital and any future successes and progress
we wemay experience. The loss of Dr. Evans’the services wouldof Dr. Evans or Mr. Camden could therefore materially
and adversely affect our business and
prospects. As a condition to the consummation of the IPO, we obtained “key person” insurance
for Dr. Evans but not for any other officers or employees. Our executive officers, senior management and key personnel are all employed
on an at-will basis, which means that they couldcan terminate their services with us at any time, for any reason
and without notice. The
loss of any of our key management personnel could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development
and strategic objectives
and adversely affect our business.
Conflicts of interest
involving our Board and other parties could materially harm our business.
Our Board on which we
heavily depend are or may become involved in other endeavors giving rise to conflicts of interests that are adverse to the Company. See
“Management” and “Corporate Governance.” Mr. Jeffrey Thompson, a member of our Board is the Chief Executive Officer
of Red Cat, a drone company with which we partner on some of our B2B business. These arrangements could cause him to be unable or decline
to devote sufficient time and attention to our Company and favor Red Cat, and/or to face a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise,
adverse to us and in favor of Red Cat. Accordingly, from time-to-time our directors may not devote sufficient time and attention to our
affairs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, and there can be no assurance that other conflicts of interest
will not arise from their other business ventures, any of which could materially and adversely impact our business.
Finally, Rotor Riot offers a variety of drone
products through its website, which includes a number of product offerings from competitors in the drone industry. While these relationships
have enabled us to generate revenue, by virtue of their involvement in the sale of drones and drone-related products these customers also
have interests that are adverse to ours, and may determine to reduce their expenditures on our products in the future and/or to vertically
integrate their operations to reduce or eliminate their reliance on our products.
Any of the foregoing developments could result
in materially adverse consequences to our Company, results of operations and financial condition.
To increase our revenue, we must add new customers,
upsell to our existing customers, enhance our products with features that set us apart from our competitors, and effectively develop and
market new products including our B2B products that enable us to maintain and expand our brand and market share. Demand for our products
is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally, the projections and estimates about the future
success and growth of the drone industry and demand for drone-related products such as ours, could prove to be incorrect, in which case
our results of operations and prospects will decline. For example, if a recession occurs in the United States or global economy, we expect
that consumer spending, particularly for non-essential goods such as our drone products which are largely focused on recreational uses,
may decline, limiting our ability to attract or maintain a sufficient customer base to achieve or maintain the revenue we seek in the
development and sale of our products. Even if we do attract customers, the cost of new customer acquisition may prove so high as to prevent
us from achieving or sustaining profitability.

PrivateAt Placementthe Market Agreement
On August 28, 2025, we entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement”) with Jones Trading Institutional Services LLC ("Jones”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell over time and from time to time up to $300,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock (the "Shares”). Sales of the Shares, if any, may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act”), including without limitation sales made directly on or through the NYSE American, the trading market for the Company’s common stock, or any other existing trading market in the United States for the Company’s common stock, sales made to or through a dealer other than on an exchange or otherwise, sales made directly to Jones as principal in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. Jones will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on behalf of us all the Shares requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement.
Under the Agreement, Jones will be entitled to compensation of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of the Shares sold under the Sales Agreement. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Jones for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, in an amount not to exceed $55,000. In addition, we shall reimburse Jones for legal fees of its counsel up to $3,750 for each quarterly due diligence update. The Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
During the month of October 2025, we sold 4,666,600 shares of common stock at an average price of $15.46 per share under the Agreement for total gross proceeds of approximately $72.1 million. We paid Jones approximately $2.2 million related to the sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement.
Recent Customer Purchase Orders
On January 15, 2026, we secured a $2.1 million order from a customer for domestically assembled drone systems for defense and government applications which includes Rotor Riot Brave flight controllers and ESCs, Fat Shark Aura analog cameras and video transmitters, HDO+ headsets and Unusual Machines motors. The order is expected to be fulfilled over the first two quarters of 2026.
On December 22, 2025, we secured a $3.75 million order from Performance Drone Works (“PDW”) to support the scaling of PDW’s FPV program. The order includes FPV headsets as the Company continues to expand and scale their U.S. based manufacturing including domestic motors and other components.
On October 15, 2025, we secured an order from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division for 3,500 NDAA-compliance motors produced at our new U.S. based manufacturing facility. The motors will support the Division’s deployment of the new Attritable Battlefield Enabler V1.01 drones. The Army has also indicated plans to expand procurement, targeting an additional order of 20,000 components including motors from us in 2026.
On October 3, 2025, we secured an $800,000 purchase order for high-performance drone components from Red Cat. The order includes several of our Blue UAS products and motors that will be integrated into Red Cat’s FANG™ drones, supporting ongoing demand for U.S. made, NDAA compliant systems in defense, public safety, and other government agency applications.
Recent Investments
During the first quarter of 2026, we have entered into and made several key investments with three different private drone related companies. We invested a total $17.5 million between the three different companies, all of which will include registration rights upon completion of their initial public offering or merger with a publicly traded company.
These investments are ancillary to our core drone components business and were made because we believe the investments will provide future drone related revenues. In all cases, we also believed that apart from the future sales benefits, each investment potential outweighed the risks.
Recent Hires
On February 2, 2026, we appointed Chadd Cole as Vice President of FP&A. Mr. Cole has more than 12 years of experience in financial planning and analysis roles at Verizon, Electronic Arts (EA) and most recently was the Director of FP&A at Carrier. Mr. Cole led the financial planning and analysis function including budgeting, planning and financial reporting through automation and technology.
On January 1, 2026, we promoted Stacy Wright to Chief Revenue Officer. Ms. Wright joined Rotor Riot in 2020 as Vice President and was promoted to President in 2024 following its acquisition by Unusual Machines. She has been instrumental in scaling operations evolve the business from a community-driven e-commerce platform into a diversified revenue operation service enterprise and defense customers.
On October 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”),
we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the "SPA”) with accredited investors (each, an "Investor” and together
the "Investors”) for a private placement offering ("Private Placement”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.95 million
before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by us in connection with the Private Placement. We intend
to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. As part of the Private Placement, we issued
an aggregate of 1,286,184 units at a per unit purchase price of $1.52 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one
warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock (each an "Investor Warrant”) and collectively, the Investor
Warrants”). The Investor Warrants have a term of five and a half years from the Closing Date and may not be exercised for 180 days
after the Closing Date and are exercisable at $1.99 per share, subject to certain limitations and adjustments set forth in the Investor
Warrants. On February 25, 2025, the 2025 Special Meeting of the Company was held. At the 2025 Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders
voted and approved on a waiver of the provision that certain warrants are only exercisable 180 days after issuance. On February 26, 2025,
the Company issued 1,224,606 shares of Common Stock to various warrant holders who exercised their warrants at an exercise price of $1.99.
The Company received gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of $2,436,966 as a result of the warrant exercises. The shares of common stock
issued are fully registered under the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Registration Number 333-283494). All of the Investor Warrants
were exercised other than Investor Warrants held by Allan Evans, our Chief Executive Officer, Sanford Rich and Robert Lowry, who are
each members of our Board.
Potential Aloft Acquisition
On February 1, 2025, we entered into a Merger
Agreement to acquire drone software company, Aloft. We believe that Aloft is a leader in the drone fleet and airspace management sector,
powering more than 70% of all FAA-approved Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability airspace authorizations in the United
States. Aloft has provided more than 1.6 million authorizations in total with 400,000 authorizations provided in 2024. The acquisition
is for $14.5 million, almost entirely in the Company’s Common Stock. Customary closing conditions by the parties must be met before
closing the merger. For more information, see Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business and Financial Condition” we may
not be successful in consummating the merger if certain closing conditions are not met.
We acquired Fat Shark and Rotor Riot on February 16, 2024 and generated
no revenue from 2023January 1, 2024 through the date of acquisition. For pro forma information unaudited result of operations reflecting our
performance performance
if we had owned these subsidiaries as of January 1, 2023,2024, See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 we generated revenues totaling $11,199,217 compared to $5,565,319 during the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $5,633,898 or 101%. Our revenues during 2024 consisted primarily of retail revenue in our B2C business line. The increase in revenue during 2025 primarily relates to the increase and establishment of our B2B business and revenue related to our NDAA and Blue UAS products. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we started manufacturing production on certain products including drone motors and we continue to see increased interest and demand in our manufactured products heading into 2026. We expect our revenue to continue to grow quarterly in 2026 as we continue to build out our capacity including our manufacturing facilities and products as well increasing our staffing to handle additional demand from the market.
During the year ended December 31, 2024 we
generated revenues totaling $5,565,319 compared to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an increase of
$5,565,319 or 100%. We did not generate any revenues until the closing of the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot on February
16, 2024. Accordingly, our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 are affected by not having any revenues for half of the
first quarter. Prior to our acquisition, Fat Shark and Rotor Riot had pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 of
approximately $4.68 million. Revenues almost entirely relate to completed and fulfilled product sales during the year through our
Rotor Riot retail channel and from B2B enterprise sales of our Fat Shark and Blue UAS products.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred cost of goods sold of $7,292,370 compared to $4,019,068 during the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of $3,273,302 or 81%. Cost of goods sold primarily relate to product costs from our sales, but also include certain shipping and other direct product costs including tariffs. During the fourth quarter of 2025, cost of goods sold also include direct payroll costs, a portion of rent expense and depreciation expense related to our manufactured products. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily driven by the increase in our revenue and growth in B2B sales along with the increase in tariffs during 2025. We expect our total cost of goods sold to increase in 2026 in conjunction with our revenue increases as we sell additional product.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred
cost of goods sold of $4,019,068 compared to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $4,019,068 or 100%.
Similar to revenues, we did not incur any cost of goods sold until the closing of the acquisitions on February 16, 2024. Prior to our
acquisition, Fat Shark and Rotor Riot had pro-forma cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $4.13 million.
Cost of goods sold primarily relate to product costs from our sales but also include certain shipping and tariff costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, our gross profit was $3,906,847 compared to $1,546,251 during the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of $2,360,596 or 153%. Our gross margin, as a percentage of sales, totaled 35% during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 28% during the year ended December 31, 2024. We anticipate our gross margin to fluctuate period to period depending on certain promotions and products that are sold during the year including the mix between retail and enterprise sales. The increase in gross margin during the year was based on our larger mix of enterprise orders during 2025. While the margins we generated during the year are in line with our expectations and normal operating margins, we do anticipate continued fluctuations in our manufactured products into 2026 as we continue to improve our manufacturing process and become more efficient. We anticipate our gross margins to have fluctuations in 2026 as we start scaling our manufacturing process. We anticipate our gross margins will have a decline in the first two quarters of 2026 as we bring on and train our staff, work to scale production, increase to multiple shifts, and build out efficiencies. We anticipate our margins will improve in the second half of 2026 as we have more trained staff and efficient processes and as we bring on our highly-automated production line for motors.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, our gross
margin was $1,546,251 compared to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $1,546,251 or 100%. Our gross
margin, as a percentage of sales, totaled 28% during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 0% during the year ended December 31,
2023. We anticipate our gross margin to fluctuate period to period depending on certain promotions and products that are sold during the
period and the margins we generated during the quarter are in line with our expectations and normal operating margins.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, operations expenses totaled $3,234,706 compared to $959,740 during the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of $2,274,966 or 237%. Operations expenses primarily relate to our direct operations including our warehouse personnel and warehouse expenses. In addition, we have started incurring additional operations related expenses as we start incurring non-product costs related to our motor production and headset facilities. We expect our operations expense to increase as we continue to hire additional staff to support our operations including engineering staff to help improve process and gain efficiencies. We are also setting up our headset factory and anticipate building out a battery facility and camera facility in the second half of 2026.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, operations
expenses totaled $959,740 compared to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $959,740 or 100%. Prior
to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any operations expenses. Operations expenses primarily relate to
our direct operations including our warehouse personnel and warehouse expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, research
and development expenses totaled $202,585 compared to $90,584 for the year ended December 31, 2024, research
and development expenses totaled $90,584 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $90,584 $112,001
or 100%.
Prior to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any research and development expenses during 2023.124%. Research
and development expense primarily relates to new product development as we continue to partner with manufacturers to
bring drone component
manufacturing to the United StatesStates. We expect our research and includedevelopment expenses incurredto relatedincrease some as we continue
to build out our products, however, we do not anticipate a significant growth as compared to ourrevenue Blueand UASother products.costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, sales
and marketing expenses totaled $1,581,716 compared to $1,091,268 for the year ended December 31, 2024, sales
and marketing expenses totaled $1,091,268 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $1,091,268$490,448
or 100%. Prior to the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024, we did not have any sales and marketing expenses.45%. Sales and marketing
expenses primarily relate to advertising spend related to Rotor Riot, costsmarketing related to our Rotor Riot show productionevents and payroll expenses
for our sales and marketing personnel.team. The increase relates mainly to adding additional staffing to our sales and marketing team. We anticipate
our sales and marketing costs to increase in 2026 related to building out our enterprise sales team, however, we expect these increases
to be at a lower rate than our revenue and other expenses as our enterprise sales are more dedicated efforts, while our retail revenue
is driven off of advertising sales.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, general
and administrative expenses totaling $23,898,633 compared to $6,250,939 for the year ended December 31, 2024, general

in interest income from our preferred savings account related to our cash balances. We also generated $1,623,317 in realized gains from
our investments and an increaseadditional of$2,469,908 in unrealized gains from our investments in the drone industry. During 2024, other income
$15,002,061 or 100%. Otherand expenses mostly consistsconsisted of non-cash related charges including $16,146,205 for the change in fair value
from our derivatives including
the conversional option feature on the note payable and the warrant liability. It iswas offset by a
non-cash gain on debt extinguishment
of $1,259,979. Finally, other expenses included $116,981 for interest expense that the Company
paid in relation to its Notenote Payablepayable during
the year and interest income of $1,146. We did incur these same costs in 2023 as we did
not have operational activities until after our IPO and the completion of the acquisitions.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $19,193,617. This compared to $31,980,468 for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a decrease in net loss of $12,786,851. The change in net loss primarily consists of an increase in our revenue, offset by a large increase in G&A expenses, mainly from non-cash stock compensation expense of $15.6 million and the net change in other income and expense during the year based on our interest income and realized and unrealized gains from investments during the year. We anticipate our net loss position to improve during 2026 as we start scaling our revenue and gain some operational efficiencies on the general and administrative expenses. This will partially be offset by anticipated fluctuations in our margins during the first half of the year.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024,
totaled $31,980,468 including non-cash charges of approximately $26.7 million. This compared to $2,383,462 for the year ended December
31, 2023, resulting in an increase in net loss of $29,597,006. The increase in net loss primarily relates to a change in fair value of
derivatives and warrant liabilities of $16,146,205, a loss on impairment of goodwill of $10,073,326, the increase in general and administrative
expenses related to closing the IPO and stock compensation expense with additional increase in expenses for operations, sales and marketing
expenses we incurred since the acquisition from Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, and interest expense of $116,981. Interest expense is from our
debt incurred from our IPO that was converted to equity in August and December 2024. This was partially offset by generating gross margin
related to the revenue and cost of goods sold from sales for Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, a gain on debt extinguishment of $1,259,979, and
income tax benefit of $13,360.
Prior to the closing
of our IPO and the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, we did not have any cash inflows from operations and all cash outflows related
to our activities related to our IPO. Our future cash flows from operating activities will be significantly impacted by revenues received,
our investment in sales and marketing to drive growth, and general and administrative expenses related to operating a public company.
Our ability to meet future liquidity needs will be driven by our operating performance and the extent of continued investment in our operations.
Failure to generate sufficient revenues and related cash flows could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our liquidity
needs and achieve our business objectives.
Net cash used in operating activities was $21,177,620 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3,966,368 during the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $17,181,252 or 433%. This change in net cash used in operating activities includes a net impact of non-cash adjustments to reconcile our net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $15,666,817 primarily driven by not having an impairment charge on goodwill and change in fair value of derivatives during 2025 and offset by the increase in stock based compensation expense during the year. The net impact of non-cash activities was offset by an increase in our net loss this year of $12,786,852. Our change in assets and liabilities was the other primary driver of the change in net cash used in operating activities with the primarily impact being a result from an increase in prepaid inventory of $8,760,006, inventory of $4,399,358, and accounts receivable of $1,538,774. This was offset by an increase in operating lease liabilities of $2,288,458 with the addition of our additional facilities and increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses of $479,259.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3,996,367
during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,776,552 during the year ended December

In December 2024, we also had several investors
exercise 684,000 warrants with cash and we issued 684,000 shares of our Common Stock for total cash proceeds of $1,523,700.approximately $1.5 million.
On February 26, 2025, multiple investors exercised
1,224,606 warrants at $1.99 per warrant from the October 2024 Private Placement and we issued 1,224,606 shares of our Common Stock and

On May 7, 2025, we completed a confidentially marketed public offering in which we sold 8,000,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share and after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses, we received approximately $36.5 million in net cash proceeds.
On July 14, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors for the purchase and sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock in a registered direct offering at a public offering price of $9.70 per share. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $44.9 million.

As of
March 25,6, 2025,2026, we have approximately $5.0

that the net proceeds from our 20242025 financings, warrant exercises, revenues, and existing cash balances will
be sufficient to fund our
current operating plans through at least the next 12 months. We have based these estimates, however, on assumptions
that may prove to
be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect and need to raise
additional funds
sooner than we anticipate.
The Fat SharkShark, Rotor Riot, and Rotor RiotLab acquisitions
were are
accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. We recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as
of the
date of acquisition. The fair value is determined based on assumptions used in valuations and estimates determined by management,
which which
are subjective.
The Rotor Lab acquisition included a contingent consideration of up to $3.0 million based on the Company producing and recognizing revenue, dollar for dollar related to internally manufactured motors during the first two years after the acquisition closing date. The fair value of contingent consideration is determined using the Monte-Carlo variable scenario model which values the liability at the measurement date using certain assumptions including the expected revenue over the calculation period, a discount rate related to revenue projections, the risk-free interest rate over the earnout period and certain estimates and probabilities of different outcomes.
We receive revenues from the sale of productsdrone and
drone parts from bothenterprise retailcustomers and distributers (enterprise revenue) and individual consumers.consumers (retail revenue). Sales revenue is
recognized when the products are shipped and the price is fixed
or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist
and collectability is probable. Revenue is recognized when the
title to the products has been passed to the customer, which is the date
the products are shipped to the customer. This is the date the
performance obligation has been met.
Investments
We have several short-term investments in other publicly traded drone and drone related companies. Since the investments are not part of the company’s primary business, the Investments are valued under ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement. Common stock, preferred stock and warrants are both measured at Fair Value each quarter, with changes recognized through net income each reporting period. We value the fair value of preferred stock based on the conversion calculation of preferred shares into common shares outlined in the certificate of designation into a common stock equivalent multiplied by the quoted trading price of the common stock as of the close of market on the reporting period. Due to the warrants being non-tradable, we estimate fair value using a Black-Scholes model based on the current stock price, the exercise price of the warrant, the estimated volatility of the stock, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the warrant.
In addition, the Company issued shares of our
Common Stock in 2023 to consultants for services performed. Prior to our IPO in February 2024, we were a private company with no active
public market for our Common Stock. Therefore, we have periodically determined the overall value of our company and the estimated per
share fair value of our common equity at their various dates and valuations based on a per share valuation using the private funding transactions
as an estimate. These values and estimates are subjective.

Our gross profit is entirely driven based on our growth in top line revenue, while the decrease in margins is driven primarily by our continued and rapid expansion of manufacturing, however, we believe our margins are still within normal operating limits and will continue to increase as our manufacturing process continues to mature.
Gross Profit
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our
gross profit was $2,654,107 compared to $496,807 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in an increase of $2,157,300

the three months ended March 31, 2025. While the margins we generated during the year are in line with our expectations and normal operating
margins, we do anticipate continued fluctuations in our manufactured products into 2026 as we continue to improve our manufacturing process
and become more efficient. We anticipate our gross margins to have fluctuations in 2026 as we start scaling our manufacturing process.
We anticipate our gross margins will have a decline in the first two quarters of 2026 as we bring on and train our staff, work to scale
production, increase to multiple shifts, and build out efficiencies. We anticipate our margins will improve in the second half of 2026
as we have more trained staff and efficient processes and as we bring on our highly-automated production line for motors.

or 179%. Sales and marketing expenses primarily relate to advertising spend related to Rotor Riot, marketing events and payroll expenses
for our sales and marketing team. The increase relates mainly to adding additional staffing to our sales and marketing team. We anticipate
our sales and marketing costs to increase in 2026 related to building out our enterprise sales team, however, we expect these increases
to be at a lower rate than our revenue and other expenses as our enterprise sales are more dedicated efforts, while our retail revenue
is driven off of advertising sales.

and administrative expenses to increase during 2026 as we continue to build out our infrastructure with additional hires and systems.
We also anticipate things like professional fees and other expenses related to being a public company to increase. In addition, we anticipate
our non-cash stock compensation expense to be higher in 2026. We do not anticipate the increase in our general and administrative expenses
to increase at the same rate as our revenue as we start to gain operational efficiencies at scale.

Our enterprise revenue was $21,510,234 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $312,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We started manufacturing production on certain products including drone motors, headsets, cameras and other drone related products during the first half of 2026. As we continue to expand our manufacturing capabilities and the larger drone market develops, we continue to see significant increased interest and demand in our manufactured products as we head into the second half of 2026. We expect our revenue to continue to grow in 2026 as we continue to build out our capacity including our manufacturing facilities and products and significantly increasing our manufacturing staff to handle additional demand from the market.
Cost of Goods Sold & Gross Profit
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred cost of goods sold of $16,362,063 compared to $2,874,784 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $13,487,279 or 469%. Cost of goods sold primarily relate to product costs from our sales, but also include certain shipping and other direct and indirect product costs. The increase in cost of goods sold is driven entirely by the increase in our revenue.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our gross profit was $8,456,241 compared to $1,291,486 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $7,164,755 or 555%. Our gross margin, as a percentage of sales, totaled 34.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 31% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We anticipate our gross margin to fluctuate period to period depending on certain promotions and products that are sold during the period and the mix of retail and enterprise sales during the period. The margins we generated during the first half of the year are in line with our expectations and our normal operating margins.
Operating Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, operations expenses totaled $3,367,620 compared to $706,879 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $2,660,741 or 376%. Operations expenses primarily relate to our direct operations including our warehouse personnel and warehouse expenses. In addition, we have started incurring additional operations related expenses as we start incurring non-product costs related to our motor production and headset facilities. We expect our operations expense to increase as we continue to hire additional staff to support our operations including engineering staff to help improve process and gain efficiencies. We anticipate additional operating expenses in the second half of 2026 as we set up additional battery facilities with the completion of the Upgrade Energy acquisition and look to continue to expand additional operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, research and development expenses totaled $644,101 compared to $70,633 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $573,468 or 812%.

Sales and marketing expenses primarily relate to advertising spend related to Rotor Riot, marketing events and payroll expenses for our sales and marketing team. The increase relates mainly to adding additional staffing to our sales and marketing team. We anticipate our sales and marketing costs to increase in 2026 related to building out our enterprise sales team, however, we expect these increases to be at a lower rate than our revenue and other expenses as our enterprise sales are more dedicated efforts, while our retail revenue is driven off of advertising sales.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses totaling $18,027,462 compared to $10,421,097 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $7,606,365 or 73%. General and administrative expenses incurred include expenses related to operations for a public company including legal and other professional fees, public company insurance expense, and other costs associated with being public. We’ve also increased our headcount to support our growth which includes building out our accounting, HR, and facilities staff. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase during 2026 as we continue to build out our infrastructure with additional hires and systems. We also anticipate things like professional fees and other expenses related to being a public company to increase. In addition, we anticipate our non-cash stock compensation expense to be higher in 2026. We do not anticipate the increase in our general and administrative expenses to increase at the same rate as our revenue as we start to gain operational efficiencies at scale.
