Rotor Lab
On September 3, 2025, the Company closed on the acquisition of Rotor Lab. Rotor Lab is an Australian developer and manufacturer of electric motors and propulsion systems for unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”). Its product line includes precision-wound electric motors across multiple classes, from sub-400W units for small UAS to high-power motors supporting large rotary and fixed wing platforms.
In addition to the motor production facility in Australia, the Company built out a motor production facility in Orlando, FL and started producing motors for drones in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company and Rotor Lab have been working together prior to the acquisition on co-developing several motor designs and sizes. The acquisition helps the Company accelerate their goals of building a resilient drone supply chain through their team and technology. In addition, Rotor Lab will continue to serve as the engineering center for the Company’s motor design, prototyping, and low to medium volume production of orders.
The Business Combination was based on a share purchase agreement (the “Rotor Lab Purchase Agreement”) that was executed on June 12, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and was completed on September 3, 2025. Under the terms of the Rotor Lab Purchase Agreement, the consideration paid for the acquired assets consisted of (i) the issuance of common stock for a value of $4.0 million based on the preceding 20 day average Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock from the date of the signing the Rotor Lab Purchase Agreement in June 2025, and (ii) the issuance of common stock (“Contingent Shares”) for up to a total value of an additional $.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 Contingent Shares will be calculated and issued based on the Company’s VWAP for the preceding 20 days on each anniversary date of the closing of the transaction.
The acquisition met the definition of a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and therefore the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are accounted for at fair value. The Company issued shares of its common stock based on the formula as noted above, which resulted in an initial purchase price of $5,922,911 based on the Company’s stock price of $ on September 3, 2025, which was the closing date of the acquisition. The contingent purchase price has been initially recorded at $2,847,000. The fair value of contingent consideration was 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 applied to revenue projections, the risk-free interest rate over the earnout period and certain estimates and probabilities of different outcomes. The Company updated the estimated contingent consideration from the Rotor Lab acquisition to $3,000,000 as of September 30, 2026 based on actual sales during the period based on management’s updated estimate.
Such fair value amounts are subject to adjustment during the one-year measurement period.
The following represents the fair value allocation of Rotor Lab Purchase Price:
On September 3, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the issued shares of Rotor Lab. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the acquisition is treated as a stock purchase. The Company did not make an election under Section 338 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the tax bases of Rotor Lab’s assets and liabilities carry over from their historical amounts, and no step-up in tax basis was recorded for U.S. tax purposes. Goodwill for tax purposes will be amortized over 15 years. The measurement period has since ended, with the only adjustment being to update the Contingent consideration to the full $3,000,000 based on actual sales data.
