Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

For the Period Ended March 31, 2025

Note 1 –Organization and nature of business

Unusual Machines, Inc. (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation engaged in the commercial drone industry. The Company reincorporated from Puerto Rico to Nevada on April 22, 2024.

On February 16, 2024, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share (“IPO Price”). The shares are traded on NYSE American. Simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings Ltd. (“Fat Shark”) and Rotor Riot, LLC (“Rotor Riot”) from Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat”) (See Note 3).

Note 2 –Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fat Shark and Rotor Riot since the acquisitions on February 16, 2024. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this Quarterly Report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such results could be material.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. Significant estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements include those used to (i) determine stock-based compensation, (ii) the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and the value of shares issued as consideration, (iii) reserves and allowances related to accounts receivable, and inventory, (iv) the evaluation of long-lived assets, including intangibles and goodwill, for impairment, (v) the fair value of lease liabilities and related right of use assets, and (vi) the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Reclassification

In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has reclassified $5,470 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from depreciation and amortization to general and administrative expense to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification did not affect previously reported total operating expenses, loss before income taxes, or net loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in multiple commercial banks and financial services companies. These financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company’s cash balance may at times exceed these limits. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoiced amounts. Upon the closing of the acquisitions in February 2024 when we acquired accounts receivable, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which the Company evaluates all credit losses as of the reporting date. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Accounts are written-off as uncollectible at the discretion of management. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been established.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are measured using the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventory using various reference measures including current product selling prices, as well as evaluating for excess quantities and obsolescence.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets of three years.

Leases

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Leases” which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with lease agreements. The Company recognized a lease liability obligation and a right-of-use asset for the facilities lease in Orlando, FL.

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are measured, on each reporting date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company used an effective discount rate of 11.49% based on its last debt financings. Operating lease assets are measured by adjusting the lease liability for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and asset impairments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the operating lease asset reduced by the amount of the expense. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets. Lease terms do not include an option to renew.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations under ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting where the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of certain acquired assets and liabilities is subjective in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions used in valuations and estimates determined by management. Business acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of the acquisition.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $10,073,326 in 2024 based on the Company’s estimated future net cash flows from the acquisitions.

The estimate of fair value of a reporting unit is computed using either an income approach, a market approach, or a combination of both. Under the income approach, we utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future cash flows, growth assumptions for future revenues (including gross margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), and a rate used to discount estimated future cash flow projections to their present value based on estimated weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the selected discount rate). Management’s assumptions are based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management’s plans. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate and consider risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including tangible assets and other intangible assets with definitive lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. ASC 360 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. Amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment upon triggering events that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recovered. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the intangible assets. No impairment charges were recorded by the Company as of March 31, 2025.

The Company has indefinite-lived trademark assets that are reviewed for impairment by first performing a qualitative analysis in accordance with ASC 350-30 to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived asset is less than its carrying value. If based on this assessment, management determines that impairment is not more than likely, then no further quantitative testing is required. However, if performing a qualitative analysis determines that is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value, then a quantitative analysis is performed in accordance with ASC 350-30-35, which occurs annually in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. If a quantitative analysis is required, the Company utilizes the relief-from-royalty method, which is a form of the income approach and requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions including preparation of forecasted revenue, selection of a royalty rate and discount rate and estimate of the terminal year revenue growth rate. The Company did not record an impairment as of March 31, 2025, related to the indefinite-lived assets.

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

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

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

The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

Accrued Warranty

Fat Shark products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of shipment. If a defect arises during the warranty period, Fat Shark will either (i) repair the affected product at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability; (ii) exchange the affected product with a functionally equivalent product; or (iii) refund the original purchase price for the affected product. Allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product warranty claim rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior 24 months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, adjustments to recognize the additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. Historically, the warranty accrual and the expense amounts have been immaterial. The warranty liability is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $19,430 and $28,944 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Rotor Riot does not provide any warranty of any kind for any of the equipment it sells or otherwise distributes. Consumers assume all risk for any products purchased or received from Rotor Riot.

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This standard includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors to be considered regarding revenue recognition including:

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer;

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation at a point in time.

The Company receives revenues from the sale of products from both retail distributers and individual consumers. 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.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue relates to orders placed and payment received, but not yet fulfilled. All deferred revenue is expected to be recognized within one year. Deferred revenue related to orders placed, but not yet fulfilled totaled $117,171 and $197,117 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes inventory costs, direct packaging costs and production related depreciation, if any.

Operations Expense

Operations expense relates to expenses incurred for fulfilling orders and warehouse related expenditures including our warehouse personnel, supplies, and shipping and handling costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred for products shipped to customers are included in operations expenses and amounted to $70,161 and $23,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development costs, materials, and a proportionate share of overhead costs.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realizable in the future.

The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a part of income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock options are valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility based on comparative companies, expected term using the simplified method and future dividends. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock grants is based on our stock price on the date of grant. Compensation costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which is the vesting term.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company classifies warrants issued for the purchase of shares of its common stock as either equity or liability instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms and conditions of each respective contract. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments or embedded in a host instrument, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants classified as liabilities are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260,Earnings per Share. Diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares. When the Company reports a net loss, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Unusual Machines, which sells drones and drone-related components, operates as a single reportable segment entity. Our chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Chief Executive Officer is regularly provided with consolidated revenue and expenses consistent with those presented in the consolidated statements of operations and assets and liabilities consistent with those presented in the consolidated balance sheets

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, new accounting guidance was issued related to income tax disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This new guidance will likely not result in additional required disclosures when adopted.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 3 –Acquisitions

Fat Shark and Rotor Riot

On February 16, 2024, the Company closed on the acquisitions of both Fat Shark and Rotor Riot from Red Cat and Jeffrey Thompson, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Red Cat (the “Business Combination”) (See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions for additional information). Fat Shark and Rotor Riot are in the business of designing and marketing consumer drones and first-person-view (“FPV”) goggles. Rotor Riot is also a licensed authorized reseller of consumer drones manufactured by third parties.

The Company specializes in the production and sale of small drones and essential components and with the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, it brings brand recognition and a strong curated retail channel in the FPV drone market segment. This Business Combination is a realization of the Company’s strategy to build its business both organically and through strategic acquisitions that leverage our retail business to onshore production of critical drone components. With the transition to onshoring production of drone components, the Company intends to expand into B2B channels for customers that require a domestic supply chain.

The Business Combination was based on a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) that was executed on November 21, 2022. From November 21, 2022 to February 16, 2024, the Purchase Agreement was subject to several amendments and subject to certain working capital adjustments. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended, the consideration paid for the acquired assets consisted of (i) $1.0 million in cash and a cash deposit of $0.1 million made in 2022, (ii) issuance of a $4.0 million 18 month promissory note to Red Cat (see Note 9 “Promissory and Convertible Notes” for further details), and (iii) the issuance of 4,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 48.66% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on February 16, 2024, after the effect of the issued shares (collectively the “Consideration Paid”). The Company valued the Red Cat common stock at $4.00 per share for $17,000,000 which represents the IPO price of the Company’s common stock on February 15, 2024. Accordingly, the value of the Consideration Paid is equal to $22,100,000.

The acquisitions 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 following represents the fair value allocation of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot Purchase Price:

Schedule of fair value allocation
Cash$147,200
Accounts receivable (approximates contractual value)6,798
Inventories (on hand and prepaid)2,611,583
Other current assets10,892
Right of use asset – operating378,430
Other long-term assets59,426
Goodwill17,476,232
Intangible assets2,297,007
Total assets22,987,568
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities287,544
Deferred revenue114,441
Deferred tax liability107,153
Operating lease liability – current and long-term378,430
Total liabilities887,568
Total purchase price$22,100,000

On December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to the above fair value allocation to report a deferred tax liability of $107,153 and increase goodwill by the same amount.

Goodwill and intangible assets relate to Fat Shark and Rotor Riot being FPV market leaders and their well-known and established brands within the industry and related patents. Combining these entities and their existing customer base along with Unusual Machines’ strategy of extending to B2B sales of drone components will provide a strategic advantage.

In February 2024 and in conjunction with the acquisition of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, as discussed in Note 3, the Company issued a promissory note (“Note”) with Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat”) for $2.0 million. In July 2024, the Company finalized its working capital adjustment with Red Cat which increased the overall purchase price by an additional $2.0 million. In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, the additional $2.0 million was treated as a modification that was not treated as a debt extinguishment and expenses related to the debt were expensed as incurred. The additional $2.0 million was added to the existing Note and was reflected as an adjustment to the opening purchase price and was included in the opening balance sheet as of February 16, 2024 as an increase to goodwill and intangible assets. Accordingly, the Note was amended to increase the principal amount of the Note to $4.0 million.

Subsequently and in July 2024, in conjunction with a private sale of Red Cat’s common stock and its promissory note to two accredited investors (“Investors”), the Company issued new notes to the new Investors (the “July Notes”) and cancelled the original Note. The July Notes contained 8% per annum interest. In addition, the maturity date of the July Notes was extended to November 30, 2025, subject to certain conditions.

On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into two exchange agreements with the Investors, under which the Investors exchanged their respective 8% July Notes for new 4% Convertible Notes (the “August Notes”). Pursuant to the exchange agreements, the Investors exchanged the $4,000,000 of July Notes for an aggregate of (i) $3,000,000 for the August Notes, (ii)210 shares of Series C preferred stock, which converts into 630,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and (iii)630,000 warrants with a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.99 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The July Notes were cancelled as a part of the exchange agreement. In accordance with ASC 470, since the August Notes were considered a greater than 10% change from the July Notes and a substantive conversion option was added to the August Notes, this exchange was treated as a debt extinguishment. The August Notes bear interest at 4% annually with interest payable monthly and the principal due on November 30, 2025. The August Notes are convertible into common stock at a fixed $1.99 per share, except in the Event of Default as defined in the August Notes, which the conversion price for an Event of Default Conversion is calculated at a 10% discount of the average three-day volume-weighted average price prior to the conversion date.

During the third quarter 2024, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $685,151 related to the exchange agreement discussed above. The loss on extinguishment related to the August Notes included $315,303 fair value related to the warrant liability issued, $347,947 fair value related to the optional conversion feature derivative liability of the remaining principal balance, and $21,901 cash fees paid for legal costs related to the August Notes. The Company used the binomial option pricing method for calculating the derivative fair value related to the warrants and optional conversion feature.

In December 2024, the Investors exercised their conversion option to convert the remaining $3,000,000 in August Notes to Common Stock at a fixed $1.99 conversion price. As a result, the Company issued 1,507,538 shares of common stock, cancelled the $3,000,000 in August Notes, and recorded $17,864,325 to common stock and additional paid in capital related to the conversion of the August Notes to Common Stock. This value is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 3, 2024 of $11.85 per share. This resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $14,864,325. The settlement of the related conversion option derivative resulted in a gain on extinguishment of $16,503,923. The net gain was $1,639,598.

Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0 and $19,649, respectively.
