Basis of Accounting

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-K. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, have been omitted.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash balances at one financial institution. The account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a specified limit. The Company’s balances at the financial institutions periodically exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s uninsured cash balances totaled approximately $357,500 and $0, respectively.

 

Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant risk concerning its cash balances. To date, the Company has not recognized any losses caused by uninsured balances.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which are typically due upon receipt of the invoice. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses at each balance sheet date. This estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. Receivables with similar risk characteristics are pooled for the estimation of expected credits losses. Management adjusts its historical estimate based on its assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. At each reporting date, the Company updates its estimate of expected credit losses to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded.

 

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in earnings in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy election. The Company has not incurred material write-offs as a whole for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Based upon the information available, no allowances for credit losses has been recorded as the Company believes the balance is fully collectable.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

The property and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company’s policy is to depreciate the cost of the property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred (none noted in the current or prior year as it relates to the vehicle). The useful life of the property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation is:

 

  Useful Life
   
Vehicle and Equipment 2-5 years

Intangible Assets – Patents

Intangible Assets – Patents

 

The Company capitalizes external costs, such as filing fees, registration documentation, and attorney fees associated with the application and issuance of patents. The Company expenses costs associated with maintaining and defending patents subsequent to issuance in the period incurred. The Company amortizes capitalized patent costs for internally generated patents on a straight-line basis over 20 years or the period in which the goods associated with the patent will be revenue-generating, which represents the estimated useful lives of the patents. The estimated useful lives for internally generated patents are based on the assessment of the following factors: the integrated nature of the patent portfolios being licensed (including the ability of the patent to generate viable goods and revenues), the overall makeup of the patent portfolio over time, and the length of license agreements for such patents. The Company assesses the potential impairment of all capitalized patent costs when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company’s patent portfolio may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Intangibles and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. If an evaluation was required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset (or group of assets) would be compared to the assets’ (or group of assets’) carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required on the basis of the assets’ associated undiscounted cash flows.

 

The Company has three types of long-lived assets: property and equipment, including a vehicle, aerial drones; construction-in-progress (CIP), and intangible patent assets including those acquired by the acquisition of Airbox Technology in 2023. The vehicle and drone hexacopter were evaluated for impairment, and no impairments were considered necessary as of June 30, 2025.

 

The Company acquired three “Gen 3” (or “AP3”) Arrive Point units in December 2024, and four in April 2025. These units are recorded as construction in progress until they are placed into service. Six units have been delivered to customer sites, one of which has been placed into revenue service in April 2025 and is being depreciated on a straight-lined basis over two years. No impairment loss on these units was recognized as of June 30, 2025.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is derived from consulting and implementation services provided to clients and recurring subscription services for access to the Arrive Point network. Revenue is recognized over time as services are performed, based on the transfer of control to the customer. Contracts are typically short-term in nature and do not contain significant variable consideration or multiple performance obligations.

 

Disaggregated revenue as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is as follows:

 

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATED REVENUE

Revenue source    
     
Consulting services  $89,000 
Installation services   1,500 
Subscription fees   225 
      
TOTAL REVENUE  $90,725 
      
Timing of Revenue Recognition     
      
Services transferred over time  $89,225 
Services transferred at a point in time   1,500 
      
TOTAL REVENUE  $90,725 

 

Various economic factors affect the recognition of revenue and cash flows including availability of skilled labor and prompt payment by customers. The Company did not generate revenue during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024. As such, no comparative disaggregation is presented for that period.

 

Contract Balances

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the balance sheet. The Company may request advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, which results in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are released as the performance obligations are satisfied. As of June 30, 2025, there were no such liabilities or contract assets included within the balance sheet. The beginning and ending contract balances were as follows:

 

SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT ASSETS/LIABILITIES

   June 30, 2025   January 1, 2025 
                      
Accounts receivable  $89,075   $-

Significant Judgments and Estimates

Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

There are no significant judgments involved in the recognition of revenue from the services provided by the Company.

 

Equity Financing

Equity Financing

 

The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and develop a commercially viable drone delivery system. These equity financing transactions involve the issuance of common stock and may include equity warrants.

 

Equity warrants are instruments that bestow upon the holder of the instrument the right to buy a particular stock at a predetermined price within a stipulated time frame. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, the Company classified the warrants as equity instruments.

 

Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing transaction, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares at an agreed-upon price, as defined in the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“the agreement”) prior to the expiration of the warrants as stipulated by the terms of the transaction in the agreement.

 

The shares eligible for issuance under the outstanding warrants were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, on July 28, 2025.

 

Loss per share

Loss per share

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss in 2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same.

 

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Loss

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 220.10, “Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss).” Comprehensive loss is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net loss. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive loss, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $698,570 and $7,626,439, respectively, in deferred offering costs related to ongoing and anticipated capital raising activities. These costs primarily consisted of legal, advisory, and other professional service fees incurred in connection with financing efforts.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised gross proceeds of $4,711,840, which included $4,330,000 under a prepaid purchase agreement and $381,840 through a crowdfunding offering. Of the total deferred offering costs recognized,  $871,882 were allocated and recognized as a reduction of proceeds raised under the prepaid purchase agreement, based on a pro-rata allocation of total expected funding (Note 8 and 11). In addition, $59,468 and $90,072 of offering costs were directly associated with the crowdfunding raise and were recognized as a reduction to the related proceeds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

 

The remaining deferred offering costs are included as current asset on the balance sheet and will be recognized as a reduction to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the related equity offerings.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Research and development (R&D) costs, that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include fees paid to outside consultants for the Company’s proprietary technology. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had R&D costs totaling $293,468 and $384,731 and $452,538 and $540,939, respectively.

 

Marketing Expenses

Marketing Expenses

 

The Company uses various marketing methods to create brand awareness to promote and alert the public about future product and service offerings to generate future capital or revenue when a viable product is created. The Company’s policy is to charge marketing costs to expenses in the period they are incurred. Marketing expenses were $49,602 and $57,263 and $226,289 and $252,746 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures and records the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period, and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation, as applicable. For stock-based compensation with performance conditions, the Company records compensation expenses when the performance condition is met. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options and forfeitures are accounted for when incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

 

The average fair value of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock was determined to be $13.00 for the period of January 1, 2025 to May 15, 2025 and $12.71 as of December 31, 2024. On May 15, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering and its common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Subsequent to May 15, 2025, the price of the Company’s common stock was determined by the Nasdaq daily closing stock price.

 

Prior to May 15, 2025, the fair value of common stock is based on the prior Company’s transaction method. The prior company transaction method utilizes actual transactions in the Company’s non-controlling, non-marketable private company equity interests. Therefore, the result is reflective of a non-controlling, non-marketable private company value and no discount for lack of control or marketability was considered necessary in the application of this methodology. As part of this methodology, there are a number of limiting assumptions, however, management believes it appropriately represents the fair market value indication for one (1) share of the Company’s common stock. Since, prior to May 15, 2025, the Company’s stock was not publicly traded, the expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatility of similar companies whose stock or option prices are publicly available, after considering the industry, stage of the life cycle, size, market capitalization, and financial leverage of the other companies.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest or penalties, and it does not expect significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2025 related to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

With few exceptions, the U.S. and state income tax returns filed for the tax years ending on December 31, 2021 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards are subject to examination in the year they are utilized regardless of whether the tax year in which they are generated has been closed by the statute. The amount subject to disallowance is limited to the NOL utilized. Accordingly, the Company may be subject to examination for prior NOLs generated as such NOLs are utilized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of their short maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt approximates the carrying value due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures about reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company has adopted the additional disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07. The additional requirements did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, ASC Subtopic “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASC 220-40): Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures”. The amendments require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
