Twin Vee PowerCats, Co.

Current report

Any failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.

Current report

There can be no assurance that our increased stock price following the Reverse Stock Split will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any continued requirements and policies of Nasdaq or that our common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq.

Current report

At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Twin Vee Board of Directors, a reverse stock split at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors and included in a public announcement. On April 4, 2025, we filed the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025, and our Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025.

Current report

While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain the listing of our Common Stock, even if we should effect another reverse stock split for the purpose of regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Current report

In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if a listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then we are not eligible for a Compliance Period.

Current report

Accordingly, we may fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement or the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Any non-compliance may be costly, divert our management’s time and attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financing, and results of operation A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of the common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, materially adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline further, and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

Current report

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a loss from operations of $14,551,769 and a net loss of $14,009,906. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a loss from operations of $1,679,094 and a net loss of $1,610,240. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 we had accumulated deficits of $27,003,195 and $25,392,955, respectively. Our unaudited financial statement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are issued.

Current report

Despite our ongoing efforts to mitigate these conditions, there can be no assurance that our expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs. Although we have classified $4,306,896 of building and land in Marion, North Carolina as an asset held for sale, the proceeds of which will help our liquidity, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell the land and building in the next twelve months and if we do engage in such a sale, that the proceeds will be as expected. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our continued operations, there can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to fill new orders and develop new products. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are filed with the SEC, and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations and/or raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate efforts to expand our dealer network or develop new models and may be forced to cease operations or liquidate assets.

Current report

We rely on third-party suppliers in the manufacturing of our boats.

Current report

We depend on third-party suppliers to provide components and raw materials essential to the construction of our boats. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we purchased all engines for our boats under supplier agreements with three vendors. While we believe that our relationships with our current suppliers are sufficient to provide the materials necessary to meet present production demand, we cannot assure you that these relationships will continue or that the quantity or quality of materials available from these suppliers will be sufficient to meet our future needs, irrespective of whether we successfully implement our growth strategy. We expect that our need for raw materials and supplies will increase. Our suppliers must be prepared to ramp up operations and, in many cases, hire additional workers and/or expand capacity in order to fulfill the orders placed by us and other customers. Operational and financial difficulties that our suppliers may face in the future could adversely affect their ability to supply us with the parts and components we need, which could significantly disrupt our operations.

Current report

We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions that could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Current report

We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions including matters related to commercial disputes, intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, whistleblower, environmental, tax, accounting, class action, and product liability, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Current report

On March 10, 2025, shareholders Nabeel Youseph and Marisa Hardyal-Youseph (“Plaintiffs”), who are former holders of common stock of Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza”), commenced an action in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, captioned Youseph, et al. v. Visconti, et al., Case No. 2025-0262, by filing a putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Defendants Joseph Visconti, Kevin Schuyler, Neil Ross, Twin Vee PowerCats Co. and Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), related to Forza’s merger with us seeking an unspecified award of damages, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiffs’ Complaint asserts claims (1) against Defendants for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as controlling shareholders of Forza, (2) against Messrs. Visconti, Schuyler, and Ross for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as directors of Forza, and (3) against Mr. Visconti for breach of fiduciary duty in his capacity as an officer of Forza. Defendants intend to vigorously defending against the claims. At this time, we are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Current report

These securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other current or future litigation matters may be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant defense and settlement costs or liability. We intend to vigorously defend against all such claims. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, as well as claims for indemnity from various of the parties concerned, we may from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. While a certain amount of insurance coverage is available for expenses or losses associated with current or future lawsuits, this coverage may not be sufficient. Determining reserves for any litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that is subject to judgment calls. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines or penalties or to settle claims or proceedings, any of which could harm our business. Based on information currently available, we are unable to estimate reasonably a possible loss or range of possible losses, if any, with regard to the current securities class action; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. Although we plan to defend against the securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other lawsuits vigorously, we cannot assure that the results of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Previous report

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Previous report

Since we did not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by November 6, 2024, we were eligible for additional time to comply. Nasdaq granted us until May 6, 2025 in order to cure the deficiency.

Previous report

We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain our Nasdaq listing.

Previous report

We have incurred losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, and could continue to incur losses in the future.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred a loss from operations of $11,987,299 and a net loss of $9,782,196. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a loss from operations of $10,191,513 and a net loss of $9,864,298. As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,491,078. There can be no assurance that expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs and to generate income from operations and net income.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MERGER

Previous report

All of the Twin Vee and Forza executive officers and most of their directors have conflicts of interest that may influence them to support or approve the Merger without regard to your interests.

Previous report

All of the Twin Vee and Forza officers will be employed by the combined company and several of each of their directors will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger. In addition, all of the Twin Vee and Forza officers and most of their directors have a direct or indirect financial interest in both Forza and Twin Vee. These interests, among others, may influence such executive officers and directors of Twin Vee and Forza to support or approve the Merger.

Previous report

The Exchange Ratio is not adjustable based on the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock so the Merger consideration at the closing may have a greater or lesser value than it had at the time the Merger Agreement was signed.

Previous report

The parties to the Merger Agreement have set the Exchange Ratio for the Forza Common Stock and the Exchange Ratio is not adjustable. Any changes in the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock or Forza Common Stock will not affect the number of shares holders of Forza Common Stock will be entitled to receive upon consummation of the Merger. Therefore, if the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock declines from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably less value. Similarly, if the market price of Twin Vee Common Stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably more value than their shares of Forza Common Stock and the Twin Vee stockholders immediately prior to the Merger will not be compensated for the increased market value of the Twin Vee Common Stock. If the market price of Forza Common Stock declines from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably more value. Similarly, if the market price of Forza Common Stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger, Forza stockholders could receive Merger consideration with considerably less value than their shares of Forza Common Stock and the Forza stockholders immediately prior to the Merger will not be compensated for the increased market value of the Forza Common Stock. The Merger Agreement does not include a price-based termination right. Because the Exchange Ratio does not adjust as a result of changes in the value of Twin Vee Common Stock, for each one percentage point that the market value of Twin Vee Common Stock rises or declines, there is a corresponding one percentage point rise or decline, respectively, in the value of the total Merger consideration issued to the Forza stockholders.

Previous report

The Merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the Merger, industry-wide changes and other causes.

Previous report

In general, either Twin Vee or Forza can refuse to complete the Merger if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party between August 12, 2024, the date of the Merger Agreement, and the closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Twin Vee or Forza, including:

Previous report

If adverse changes occur and Twin Vee and Forza still complete the Merger, the combined company stock price may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the Merger to the stockholders of Twin Vee and Forza.

Previous report

The combined company’s stock price is expected to be volatile, and the market price of its common stock may drop following the Merger.

Previous report

The market price of the combined company’s common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations following the Merger especially when the shareholder base is increased. Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of the combined company’s common stock.

Previous report

The market price of the combined company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by Twin Vee or Forza or investors, financial or industry analysts.

Previous report

The combined company may not experience the anticipated strategic benefits of the Merger.

Previous report

The respective managements of Twin Vee and Forza believe that the Merger would provide certain strategic benefits that may not be realized by each of the companies operating as standalones. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the Merger will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased stockholder value or revenue stream to the combined company.

Previous report

Twin Vee and Forza stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Merger.

Previous report

If the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger, Twin Vee and Forza securityholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

Previous report

Even if the Merger is approved by the stockholders of Twin Vee and Forza, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived in order to complete the Merger, including, among others:

Previous report

These and other conditions are described in detail in the Merger Agreement. Twin Vee and Forza cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur or will be delayed, and Twin Vee and Forza each may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.

Previous report

Twin Vee and Forza will incur substantial expenses whether or not the Merger is completed.

Previous report

Twin Vee and Forza have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial expenses related to the Merger whether or not the Merger is completed.

Previous report

Twin Vee will assume all of Forza’s outstanding liabilities if the Merger is completed.

Previous report

By operation of law, Twin Vee will assume all of Forza’s outstanding liabilities if the Merger is completed.

Previous report

During the pendency of the Merger, Twin Vee and Forza may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party at a favorable price because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses.

Previous report

Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of Twin Vee and Forza to make acquisitions, subject to certain exceptions relating to fiduciary duties, or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending the closing of the merger. As a result, if the Merger is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during that period. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, each party is generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business, with any third-party, subject to certain exceptions. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s stockholders.

Previous report

The terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit each of Twin Vee and Forza from soliciting alternative takeover proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited takeover proposals, except in certain circumstances where the Twin Vee Board of Directors or Forza Board of Directors, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that an unsolicited alternative takeover proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior takeover proposal and that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Forza Board of Directors.

Previous report

Twin Vee’s business and stock price may be adversely affected if the acquisition of Forza is not completed.

Previous report

Twin Vee’s acquisition of Forza is subject to several customary conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of Twin Vee Common Stock in the Merger and the approvals of the transaction by the stockholders of Forza and Twin Vee.

Previous report

If Twin Vee’s acquisition of Forza is not completed, Twin Vee could be subject to a number of risks that may adversely affect Twin Vee’s business and stock price, including:

Previous report

If Twin Vee’s acquisition of Forza is not completed, Forza could be subject to a number of risks that may adversely affect Twin Vee’s business and stock price, including:

Previous report

Should the Merger not qualify as a tax-free reorganization, Forza stockholders may recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the shares of Twin vee common stock received in the Merger.

Previous report

The Merger is expected to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, however, neither Twin Vee nor Forza has received an Internal Revenue Services ruling to that effect. The failure of the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code would result in a Forza stockholder recognizing capital gain or loss with respect to the shares of Forza Common Stock surrendered for Twin Vee Common Stock received in the Merger.
