Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
SKYX Platforms Corp., a corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in Florida in May 2004.
The Company maintains offices in Sacramento, California, Johns Creek, Georgia, Miami and Pompano Beach, Florida, New York City, and Guangdong Province, China.
The Company has a series of advanced-safe-smart platform technologies. The Company’s first-generation technologies enable light fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrically wired products to be installed safely and plugged-in to a ceiling’s electrical outlet box within seconds, and without the need to touch hazardous wires. The plug and play technology method is a universal power-plug device that has a matching receptacle that is simply connected to the electrical outlet box on the ceiling, enabling a safe and quick plug and play installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans in just seconds. The plug and play power-plug technology eliminates the need of touching hazardous electrical wires while installing light fixtures, ceiling fans and other hard wired electrical products. In recent years, the Company has expanded the capabilities of its power-plug product, to include its second generation advanced-safe and quick universal installation methods, as well as advanced-smart capabilities. The smart features include control of light fixtures and ceiling fans by the SkyHome App, through WIFI, Bluetooth Low Energy and voice control. It allows scheduling, energy savings eco mode, dimming, back-up emergency light, night light, light color changing and much more. The Company’s third-generation technology is an all-in-one safe and smart-advanced platform that is designed to enhance all-around safety and lifestyle of homes and other buildings.
Since April 2023, the Company also markets home lighting, ceiling fans and other home furnishings from third parties.
Going Concern
The Company’s liquidity sources include $13 million in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $2.9 million held for long-term purposes, and $11.7 million of working capital deficit as of September 30, 2024. The Company has a history of recurring operating losses, and its net cash used in operating activities amounted to $13.0 million and $10.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company has also generated net cash provided by financing activities of $4.1 million and $19.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accordingly, the Company’s management cannot ascertain that there is no substantial doubt that it will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that its financial statements are issued.
Management intends to mitigate such conditions by supporting its continued growth, decreasing its cash used in operating activities through increased revenues and increased margins from products sold to large retailers and its internet portals, and to the extent necessary, generate cash provided by financing activities through its at the market (“ATM”) offering or other equity or debt financing means.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the respective fiscal years. The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for additional disclosures and accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future nonconforming events. Accordingly, actual results will differ from estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and one of its subsidiaries, SQL Lighting and Fans LLC from January 1, 2023 and the results from its remaining subsidiaries, Belami, Inc., BEC, CA 1, Inc., BEC CA 2, LLC, Luna BEC, Inc., and Confero Group LLC from April 28, 2023. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash composition was follows:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $10,172,387 | $16,810,983 |
| Restricted cash | 2,876,382 | 5,619,270 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $13,048,769 | $22,430,253 |
Restricted Cash
The Company issued a letter of credit of $2.8 million in September 2023 to use as collateral for certain obligations to one of its lessors. The letter of credit was issued by a financial institution and was secured by cash of $2.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 2023. Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s acquisition of Belami, Inc., the Company placed $750,000 in an escrow account as of December 31, 2023 which was released to Belami, Inc. sellers in April 2024. Furthermore, the Company secured a line of credit of $2.0 million with cash of the equivalent amount as of December 31, 2023. The Company satisfied its obligations under the line of credit in August 2024.
Customer Contracts Balances
Accounts receivables are recorded in the period when the right to receive payment or other consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an estimate of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are from third-party payers and are paid within a few days from the order date. The Company determines the allowance based upon individual accounts when information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet their financial obligations, historical experience, and currently available evidence. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,584 and $54,987, respectively.
The Company determines an allowance for sales returns based upon historical experience. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for sales returns was $26,393 and $182,584, respectively, and is recorded as accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company defers the revenue related to undelivered customer orders for which it was paid or has a right to be paid at each measurement date. Such amounts are recognized as deferred revenues in the accompanying balance sheet. Deferred revenues amounted to $2,108,351 and $1,475,519 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The costs associated with such deferred revenues are recognized as deferred charges in the accompanying balance sheet. Such charges include the carrying value of related inventory, freight, and sales charges. The deferred charges amounted to $308,908 and $224,445 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost principally consists of the purchase price (adjusted for lower of cost or market), customs, duties, and freight. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory, component parts | $2,975,163 | $2,230,252 |
| Inventory, finished goods | 2,862,949 | 2,495,482 |
| Allowance | (1,300,000) | (1,300,000) |
| Inventory-total | $4,538,112 | $3,425,734 |
The Company will maintain an allowance based on specific inventory items that have shown no activity over a reasonable period. The Company tracks inventory as it is repurposed, disposed, scrapped, or sold at below cost to determine whether additional items on hand should be reduced in value through an allowance method. The Company has recorded an allowance of $1.3 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
GE Agreements
The Company has the following agreements with General Electric (“GE”) related to the Company’s products.
A U.S. and Global Licensing and Master Service Agreement dated December 4, 2023, which replaced a prior agreement with similar terms. The agreement expires on December 4, 2028 and includes automatic renewal provisions. Pursuant to such agreement, GE’s licensing team has the rights to exclusively license certain of the Company’s Standard and Smart plug-and-play products set forth in a statement of work in the U.S. and worldwide. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company expects that GE’s licensing team will seek and arrange licensee partners for our products in the U.S. and globally, including negotiating agreement terms, managing contracts, collecting payments, auditing partners, assisting with patent strategy and protection, and assisting in auditing product quality control under the “Nine Sigma” guidelines. For products licensed to third parties, the Company and GE will each receive a specified percentage of the revenue earned from such licensing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable statement of work.
The second agreement consists of a letter agreement dated November 28, 2023, as amended on April 11, 2024. The agreement expires on December 15, 2027 and includes a Repayment Plan Under U.S. and Global Trademark Agreement dated June 15, 2011 (as later amended), which expired November 30, 2023, between SQL Lighting & Fans, LLC and GE Trademark Licensing, Inc. Under this new payment arrangement, the Company pays royalty payment obligation of $2.7 million in the aggregate (the “Royalty Payment”) payable in quarterly installments beginning on December 15, 2023 and ending on December 15, 2026 and issued a convertible promissory note amounting to $1.0 million,
Loss Per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stocks, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option, and warrant contracts. For the three- and nine-month ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.
The Company had the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents on September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023:
| September 30, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock warrants | 1,817,523 | 2,063,522 |
| Stock options | 35,832,641 | 35,084,598 |
| Unvested restricted stock | 4,853,919 | 4,045,675 |
| Convertible notes | 6,475,709 | 3,920,005 |
| Preferred stock | — | — |
| Total | 48,979,792 | 45,113,800 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment and furniture | $1,156,664 | $968,213 |
| Leasehold improvements | 456,659 | 139,649 |
| Total | 1,643,876 | 1,107,862 |

| Total, net | $839,998 | $436,587 |
Depreciation expense amounted to $132,603 and $67,897 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
Intangible assets consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2024 · December 31, 2023 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Useful life | Carrying Value | Accumulated Amortization | Net carrying value | Carrying Value | Accumulated Amortization | Net carrying value | |
| Customer relationships | 7 | $4,500,000 | $(910,708) | $3,589,292 | $4,500,000 | $(428,571) | $4,071,429 |
| E-commerce technology platforms | 1- 4 | 1,400,000 | – | 1,400,000 | 3,900,000 | (650,000) | 3,250,000 |
| Patents and other | 15 | 931,831 | (311,982) | 619,849 | 1,040,927 | (221,324) | 819,603 |
| $6,831,831 | $(1,222,690) | $5,609,141 | $9,440,927 | $(1,299,895) | $8,141,032 | ||
Amortization expense on intangible assets amounted to $1,213,389 and $642,943 during the nine-month ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the E-commerce technology platforms it acquired in 2023. Management determined that revenues could increase without increasing its operating expenses (and potentially decrease its general and administrative expenses) using a different E-commerce technology platform. Management believes it will discontinue using its legacy platforms and deploy a new E-commerce technology platform by October 1, 2025. Accordingly, the estimated useful life of its legacy platforms decreased from 4 to 1 year. The reduced estimated useful life of the intangible asset indicated a possible impairment of the carrying value of such intangible. Management prepared, with a third-party firm, an analysis of the future cash flows related to the legacy platform and determined that, as of September 30, 2024, such future cash flows were lower than the carrying value of the related intangible asset. Accordingly, management believes that its legacy platforms’ carrying value was impaired. Based on the future estimated discounted cash flows, Management believes that the carrying value of the legacy platforms should be $1.4 million. Accordingly, management recorded an impairment expense of $1.1 million and adjusted the carrying value of its legacy platform to $1.4 million as of and during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense for the next five years:
| Twelve months ended September 30: | |
|---|---|

One RSU and RSA give the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. RSU and RSAs that vest based on service and performance are measured based on the fair values of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company used a Lattice model to determine the fair value of the RSU with a market condition. Compensation with respect to RSU and RSA awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
During the nine-month ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expenses of $9,035,220, and $13,109,135, respectively, related to RSUs and RSAs.

Major Customers and Accounts Receivable
The Company had no customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. The Company had two customers with accounts receivable balances aggregating representing 23% of the Company’s total accounts receivable on September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023 and one third party payor representing 48% and 24% of the Company’s total accounts receivable on September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Liquidity
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held primarily with two financial institutions. The Company has deposits which exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. To reduce the risk associated with the failure of such counterparties, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.
Product and Geographic Markets
The Company generates its income primarily from lighting and heating products, and increasingly, smart-based products sold primarily in the United States.
NOTE 12 PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The following pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023:
| Nine-month period ended September 30, | |
|---|---|
| Revenues | $60,649,120 |
| Net loss | $(26,430,206) |
| Basic and diluted loss per share | $(0.28) |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding- basic and diluted | 92,768,792 |
These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results to reflect, among other things, 1) additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to amortizable intangible assets had been applied, 2) the shares issued and issuable by the Company to acquire Belami, 3) fair value of the initial grant and options to Belami employees, and 4) the increase in interest expense related to the issuance of convertible notes payable, including amortization of debt discount. Furthermore, it excludes transaction costs related to the Belami acquisition. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated or that may result in the future.
NOTE 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2024, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no significant subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements other than the following:
