SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, assumptions or forecasts of future events based on information currently available to our management. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

our history of losses;

 

our ability to implement our growth strategy and achieve profitability;

 

our limited operating history with recent acquisitions;

 

  our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future as needed;

 

  our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

  our status as a foreign private issuer;

 

  our ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”);

 

customer demand for or acceptance of the products and services we develop or supply;

 

the impact of competitive or alternative products, technologies and pricing;

 

emerging competition and rapidly advancing technology in our industry that may outpace our technology;

 

our ability to manufacture or distribute any products we develop or supply, and to secure and maintain strategic supply and manufacturing arrangements;

 

our ability to protect our intellectual property;

 

impact of any changes in existing or future regulatory and tax regimes applying to our business;

 

our ability to successfully consummate strategic transactions and integrate companies or technologies we acquire;

 

  our ability to attract and retain management and other employees who possess specialized knowledge and technical skills;

 

  our ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls;

 

  general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our customers, including, but not limited to increases in inflation rates and rates of interest, supply chain challenges, increased costs for materials and labor, cybersecurity threats, and conflicts such as those in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas;

 

our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items; and

 

other factors discussed in this Form 10-Q.

 

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Some of these risks and uncertainties may be amplified in the future and there may be additional risks that we currently consider immaterial, or which are unknown.

 

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

About the Company

 

On December 27, 2023 (the “record date”), we were spun off by our former parent company, XTI Aerospace Inc., formerly known as Inpixon (the “Parent”), by means of a transfer of all of our then outstanding common shares held by the Parent (the “spinoff shares”) to the Grafiti Holding Inc. Liquidating Trust (the “trust”), to be held for the benefit of holders of the Parent’s common stock, preferred stock and those outstanding warrants that were contractually entitled to participate in the distribution (collectively, the “participating Parent securityholders”). Following the effectiveness of our registration statement on Form 10-12B filed in connection with the spinoff (the “Form 10 Registration Statement”) on November 12, 2024, the trust delivered the spinoff shares to the participating Parent securityholders, as beneficiaries of the trust, pro rata in accordance with their ownership of shares or underlying shares of the Parent’s common stock as of the record date.

 

On November 13, 2024, we completed a business combination transaction with Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon Motors”), resulting in Damon Motors becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Business Combination”). Upon completion of the Business Combination with Damon Motors, we changed our corporate name from “Grafiti Holding Inc.” to “Damon Inc.” For further information about these transactions, please refer to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 18, 2024 (the “November 18, 2024 8-K”).

 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” the “Company,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Damon Inc. (“Damon”), formerly known as Grafiti Holding Inc. (“Grafiti Holding”), and as appropriate, its subsidiaries.

 

About Our Foreign Private Issuer Status

 

As a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia, the Company qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in the United States, based on the applicable criteria as of the last business day of the Company’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, ended December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the Company’s qualification as a foreign private issuer, the Company has voluntarily chosen to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) periodic and current reports and registration statements on forms prescribed for U.S. domestic issuers, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this quarterly report, current reports on Form 8-K, and registration statements on Form S-1, instead of filing on the reporting and registration forms available to foreign private issuers.

 

Although the Company has voluntarily chosen to file periodic reports and current reports, as well as registration statements, on U.S. domestic issuer forms, the Company will maintain its status as a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, as a foreign private issuer, the Company remains exempt from the U.S. federal proxy rules pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and Regulations 14A and 14C thereunder, Regulation FD, and its officers, directors, and principal shareholders are not subject to the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, the Company elects to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the listing rules of Nasdaq, as further discussed under Item 5 of this quarterly report.

DAMON INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

1. Nature and continuance of operation

 

Damon Inc. (“Damon” or “the Company”, formerly Grafiti Holding Inc. or “Grafiti”) was originally incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on October 17, 2023. Gratifi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Grafiti Limited (formerly known as “Inpixon Limited”) was incorporated in England and Wales on May 13, 2020. Grafiti Limited provides specialized scientific software products and services for the environmental sciences, life sciences, behavioral sciences, medical research and engineering domains.

 

On October 23, 2023, Grafiti and XTI Aerospace, Inc. (then parent company of Grafiti) entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Damon Motors, Inc. (“Damon Motors”), in which Damon Motors would amalgamate with a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (“Amalco Sub”), with Damon Motors continuing as the surviving entity (“Business Combination”). Damon Motors is developing motorcycles and other personal mobility solutions, integrating proprietary electric powertrain, shifting, and predictive awareness technologies to drive innovation through data intelligence and strategic partnerships.

 

On November 13, 2024, Damon Motors and Amalco Sub amalgamated to continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (the “Amalgamation”). Following the Amalgamation, Damon Motors became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti and Grafiti was immediately renamed to “Damon Inc.” (also referred to herein as the “Pubco,” or the “combined company”). Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our” and similar terms refer to Damon Motors and its subsidiary prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and Damon and its subsidiaries after the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

In accordance with ASC 805- Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Business Combination between Damon (formerly Grafiti) and Damon Motors was accounted for as a reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, with Damon (formerly Grafiti) as the legal acquirer and Damon Motors treated as the accounting acquirer. Damon (formerly Grafiti) remains the continuing registrant and reporting company. Accordingly, the historical financial and operating data of the Company, which covers periods prior to the closing date of the Business Combination, reflects the assets, liabilities, and results of operations for Damon Motors and does not reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Damon (formerly Grafiti) for the periods prior to November 12, 2024 (Note 3 – Business Combinations).

 

The common shares of the combined company are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “DMN”.

 

The accompanying condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the need for successful development of products, the need for additional capital (or financing) to fund operating losses (see below), competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key individuals, and risks associated with changes in electric automotive technology. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to fund its research and development, complete the construction of a manufacturing facility or secure third-party manufacturing arrangements for the eventual production of electrical motorcycles and other personal mobility products and meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

F-7

 

The Company has utilized $6,636,484 of cash in operations for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and has accumulated a deficit as of December 31, 2024 of $115,498,661 and expects to incur future additional losses. These conditions indicate material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after financial statement issuance date.

 

When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

Management’s plans to address the uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern include obtaining sufficient debt and equity financing for the Company’s operations and development plans. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain sufficient financing in a timely manner. As such, the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated by management’s plans.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2024 and the related notes thereto included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10.

 

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Grafiti Limited (formerly known as “Inpixon Limited”), Damon Motors Inc. and Damon Motors Corporation, over which the Company has control. Control occurs when the Company has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and the subsidiary are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Basis of measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from the estimates made by management.

 

F-8

 

Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Estimates include the following:

 

Estimating the fair value of the Company’s common shares;

 

Classification and measurement of Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”)

 

Estimating the fair value of convertible notes

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for business acquisitions under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase consideration for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets acquired, equity instruments issued and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets (including intangible assets), liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities) and noncontrolling interests in an acquisition are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized if the fair value of the total purchase consideration and any noncontrolling interests is in excess of the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. A bargain purchase gain is recognized within other income (expense), net, on the consolidated statement of operations if the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is in excess of the fair value of the total purchase consideration and any noncontrolling interests. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for business combinations over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on June 30 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s sole intangible asset consists of the customer list acquired from the Business Combination, which had a remaining estimated useful life of five years.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from the sale of software and software as a service.

 

License Revenue Recognition

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive license for the use of its proprietary software. The contracts provide for either (i) a one year stated term with a one-year renewal option, (ii) a perpetual term or (iii) a two-year term with the option to upgrade to a perpetual license at the end of the term. The contracts may also provide for yearly on-going maintenance services for a specified price, which includes maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software (the “Maintenance Services”), depending on the contract. Licenses for on-premises software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All software provides customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a good or service. Software that relies on an entity’s IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. A software arrangement that is provided through an access code or key represents the transfer of a good. Licenses for on-premises software represents a good and provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. Revenue from distinct on-premises licenses is recognized at a point in time when the software is made available to the customer.

 

F-9

 

Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses (i.e., a distinct good or service), and revenue attributed to the distinct good or service cannot be recognized until (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. Renewal contracts are not combined with original contracts, and, as a result, the renewal right is evaluated in the same manner as all other additional rights granted after the initial contract. The revenue is not recognized until the customer can begin to use and benefit from the license, which is typically at the beginning of the license renewal period. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue resulting from renewal of licensed software starting at the beginning of the license renewal period.

 

The Company recognizes revenue related to software as a service evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the services are performed.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company had deferred revenue of $164,915 and $nil as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, related to cash received in advance for product license and maintenance services to be performed in future periods. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for these license and maintenance services, and recognize the deferred revenue and related contract costs over the next twelve months. The Company recognized revenue of $49,523 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

The Company does not have a history of incurring incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer, but if the Company incurs these costs in the future, the Company will recognize these costs as an asset that will be amortized over the expected contract term.

 

Cost to Fulfill a Contract

 

The Company incurs costs to fulfill their obligations under a contract once it has obtained, but before transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company has determined that these costs are immaterial. Therefore, the Company expenses the costs as they are incurred.

 

Multiple Performance Obligations

 

The Company enters into contracts with customers for its technology licenses that may include multiple performance obligations. Each distinct performance obligation was determined by whether the customer could benefit from the good or service on its own or together with readily available resources. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company’s contracts with its customers outline the terms of the number of software licenses to be issued and any Maintenance Services, along with the agreed-upon prices. The price for both the licenses and any related Maintenance Fees are fixed and stated in the contract.

 

Sales and Use Taxes

 

The Company presents transactional taxes such as sales and use tax collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis.

 

F-10

 

Segment reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s operations consist of two operating segments - electric personal mobility products and scientific software products and services.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional currency is U.S. dollars (“USD”), except for the functional currency of Grafiti Limited is British Pound.

 

Each entity within the consolidated group records transactions using its functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currency of each entity using the foreign currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Period-end balances of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated to the respective functional currencies using period-end foreign currency rates. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations that have a functional currency other than USD are translated into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are included within other comprehensive loss. The cumulative deferred translation gains or losses on the foreign operations are reclassified to net income, only on disposal of the foreign operations.

 

Fair value measurements

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

 

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

Our financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Our financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short -term debt, pre-paid purchase, financial liability convertible to equity, convertible notes and lease liabilities. The carrying amounts of these instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and trade payables and accrued liabilities, are considered to be representative of their fair values because of their short-term nature.

 

F-11

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of principally cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and certain receivables. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions. Balances with these institutions exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amount of $250 thousand as of December 31, 2024. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses in these accounts and does not believe the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk on these instruments.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires public companies, including entities with a single reportable segment, to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other items on an interim and annual basis to provide more transparency about the expenses they incur from revenue generating business units. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to increase the transparency and usefulness of income tax information through improvements to the income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, that requires public companies to disclose, in interim and reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. For public business entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on the Company’s disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Business Combination

 

On October 23, 2023, Grafiti and XTI Aerospace, Inc. (then parent company of Grafiti) entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Damon Motors, Inc. (“Damon Motors”), in which Damon Motors would combine and merge with a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (“Amalco Sub”), with Damon Motors continuing as the surviving entity (“Business Combination”). 

 

On November 13, 2024, the following events occurred upon the consummation of the Business Combination:

 

the cancellation and conversion of all 16,758,528 issued and outstanding Damon Motors’ preferred shares to 46,360,093 Damon Motors’ common shares with no gain or loss on conversion recognized;

 

the cancellation and conversion of $8,370,546 convertible notes into 16,496,750 Damon Motors’ common shares;

 

the surrender and exchange of all 76,717,299 issued and outstanding common shares of Damon Motors (including common shares resulting from the conversion of preferred shares and convertible notes) to 14,761,045 Pubco common shares and 1,391,181 Pubco multiple voting shares after giving effect to the exchange ratio of 0.21 (“Exchange Ratio”);

 

The cancellation and exchange of all 9,224,491 granted and outstanding vested and unvested Damon Motors options, into 1,942,127 Pubco options exercisable for Pubco common shares with the same terms and vesting conditions except for the numbers of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted by the Exchange Ratio;

 

The cancellation and exchange of all 6,240,292 granted and outstanding Damon Motors warrants, into 2,186,478 Pubco warrants exercisable for Pubco common shares with the same terms except for the numbers of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the holders of the historical outstanding shares of Damon Motors owned approximately 77.8% of the outstanding shares of Pubco and approximately 81.5% on a fully diluted basis. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the holders of the historical outstanding shares of Grafiti owned approximately 22.2% of the outstanding shares of Pubco and approximately 18.5% on a fully dilutive basis.

Total liabilities assumed   4,401,934 
      
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired  $9,938,960 

 

The purchase price allocations for the Business Combination are preliminary as we have not obtained all of the detailed information to finalize the opening balance sheet related to the intangible assets acquired from the Business Combination. Management has recorded the purchase price allocations based on the information that is currently available.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company recognized approximately $80,000 of identifiable intangible assets and $14,045,955 of goodwill, which represented the excess purchase price over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, pursuant to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event that the value of goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired, an accounting charge for impairment during the period in which the determination is made may be recognized. The goodwill is not anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the Company recorded an adjustment to common stock of $11,123,075 to reflect the value of the consideration for the transaction pursuant to the additional goodwill and intangible assets identified in the preliminary purchase price allocation. The customer list intangible assets of $80,000 was fair valued using replacement cost and will be amortized over the estimated useful life of five years.

 

The following table presents the unaudited, pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 as if the Business Combination had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2023.

At inception, the proceeds from the convertible notes issued with detachable share purchase warrants were determined to be their fair values, were allocated between the convertible notes issued with detachable share purchase warrants based on the residual method. Management has determined that due to the complexity of the various embedded features and the short life expected of the notes, it will elect the fair value option under ASC 825-10-1 as the instruments are eligible for the fair value election under ASC 825-10. As a result, the entire convertible promissory note is carried at fair value. As of June 30, 2024, the convertible notes are valued by management based on the Company’s estimated enterprise value implied by the most comparable transaction and allocating the value to each of the Company’s equity-linked instruments (preferred shares, SAFE agreements, convertible promissory notes, stock options and common shares) based on their respective characteristics and rights. In arriving at the value attributable to each instrument, the Company applies an option pricing model. The Company’s model values the preferred shares, SAFEs, convertible promissory notes, common shares, warrants and stock options as call options on the Company’s equity value with exercise prices based on the conversion options of the respective instruments. The model used the following assumptions, including volatility, risk free rates and management’s best estimate of the expected time for the occurrence of a conversion event as described below.

Convertible notes  $       -   $       -   $40,630,756   $40,630,756 
Financial liability convertible to equity   -    -    3,200,000    3,200,000

As of June 30, 2024, the convertible notes and SAFEs that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as Level 3. For assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company reassesses categorization to determine whether changes have occurred between the hierarchy levels at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of these Level 3 financial liabilities is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation (see Note 8).

 

Areas of significant judgement are the risk-free rate, volatility rate, dividend yield, term to liquidation, discount for lack of marketability, most recent financing rounds and implied equity value per letter of intent. These valuations use assumptions and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company reassesses these assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. A significant increase/decrease in some of those unobservable inputs would result in a significantly higher/lower fair value measurement.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized fair value adjustments with respect to financial instruments categorized as Level 3 of $4,657,388 and $4,739,085, respectively, in the statements of operations as changes in fair value of financial liabilities. No amounts were recognized in other comprehensive income as the changes in fair value due to credit risk were nominal.

16. Basic and diluted earning or loss per share

 

The calculation of basic and diluted earning or loss per share for three and six months ended December 31, 2024 was based on the net income attributable to common shareholders of $32,521,108 and $25,108,933, respectively (December 31, 2023 – net loss of $7,130,860 and $12,508,051 for the three and six months, respectively) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 12,726,152 and 7,811,776, respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 –2,580,041 and 2,537,638 for the three and six months, respectively).

 

The following table presents the reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares used in computing net earning per share:

 

   Three months

Overview of Our Business

 

Our Personal Mobility Products Development Business Through Damon Motors

 

Damon Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon Motors”), is developing electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility industry through innovation, data intelligence and strategic partnerships. Damon Motors is developing technology and investing in the capabilities to lead an integrated personal mobility ecosystem from individual travels to last mile delivery. With decades of combined management and engineering experience across the team’s careers, and a commitment to low carbon personal mobility solutions, Damon Motors is seeking to introduce existing enthusiasts to high-performance electric products while bringing new riders to the motorcycle community with first of its kind advances in zero emissions motorcycle performance, safety, connectivity and AI.

 

Founded in 2017, Damon Motors started reimagining the future of motorcycling by means of advanced safety design, electric vehicle powertrain technology and user experience. In 2019, Damon Motors took its first alpha prototype motorcycles and safety systems into the field to test the concept. In 2021, Damon Motors expanded its operations and R&D expertise to accelerate the engineering and development of its HyperDrive platform drive unit and the HyperSport motorcycle. Through core technology advancements, Damon Motors electric motorcycles are in prototype phase of product validation. 

 

Damon Motors’s electric vehicles are developed with a set of proprietary design principles that elevate the brand, deliver differentiated riding experiences and bring emotion to electric propulsion. The initial product portfolio of motorcycle models will be built upon and utilize a single powertrain platform called HyperDrive™. As a patented, monocoque-constructed battery-chassis, HyperDrive houses a proprietary 150 kW 6-phase liquid cooled IPM motor-gearbox and proprietary electronics. This platform approach establishes a capital-efficient path to grow the product line to meet a wide range of future segments and price points, while also supporting a wide range of future motorcycle models and power sizes that share as much as 85 percent common parts. By using the frame of the battery as the motorcycle’s chassis, HyperDrive also achieves valuable weight and cost reduction advantages. With 150 kW of power at its disposal, HyperDrive has been specifically designed to compete with the performance of market leaders in the high-performance motorcycle market, whether internal combustion or electric. Thanks to the energy modularity designed into it, HyperDrive-based motorcycles can be detuned in power, energy and thus cost to support 500 – 1500cc power equivalent classes of motorcycles in both the North American and European markets, with price points ranging from $20,000 - $80,000.

 

The HyperDrive platform is contrasted by the smaller, less powerful and lower cost HyperLite platform, currently in its early design phase. HyperLite will be developed using a very similar design architecture as HyperDrive, enabling the production of a range of light weight, low to medium cost motorcycles and scooters with milder levels of horsepower that are more common in overseas and developing markets. With these two platforms paired with Damon Motors’s three patented cornerstone technologies, CoPilot™, Shift™ and its AI-enabled cloud platform. Damon Motors’s long-term objective is to build a premium, high-tech, electric motorcycle company that rivals the largest incumbents in both profit and annual volume, by providing a technologically enhanced riding experience that is not currently available from other manufacturers.

 

CoPilot provides a novel rider assistance and warning system integrated into the motorcycle. Shift allows the handlebars and foot pegs to mechatronically adjust on the fly, addressing issues of ergonomic comfort and allowing users to select different riding positions for changing conditions such as a lower, more aerodynamic position for highway use or a more upright position for urban use. Its AI-enabled cloud will collect environmental and situational data that, paired with over-the-air software updates, can drive a continual loop of collision warning improvements, with an aim to further reduce accident probability over time.

 

The commercial production of Damon Motors’s motorcycles is expected to commence after passing various internal and external tests and undergoing a self-certification process required for US-bound vehicle homologation. These tests include: the completion of Damon Motors’s ride quality and long-term durability testing, completion of FCC Title 47 certification for the onboard charger, completion of UN 38.3 battery testing, completion of Damon Motors’s internal battery testing, extreme temperature operation verification, brake testing per FMVSS, and an internal and external review of FMVSS compliance with Damon Motors engineering subcontractor TUV of Germany.

Our SAVES Distribution Business Through Grafiti Limited

 

Damon, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Grafiti Limited, distributes in the United Kingdom and certain other European countries data analytics and visualization software products referred to as “SAVES” primarily for scientists and engineers. Grafiti Limited products can be downloaded to a user’s desktop. These products help scientific research in the health and life sciences domain in the discovery of new drugs, in the study of the efficacy of established drugs and therapies, and in epidemic propagation research, among other applications. Engineers use our products for a multitude of applications which include, but are not limited to, conducting surface modelling analysis and curve fitting in order to design new engineering processes, studying signal attenuation and propagation in radio engineering. Potential automobile and motorcycle applications could include surface panel design for aerodynamics, aesthetic symmetry, and calculated asymmetry among others. We believe the Grafiti Limited regression analysis product could also be used for predicting vehicle sharing demand and pricing trends in various markets based on a wide range of variables.

 

Grafiti Limited’s strategy is to build a broader, long term customer base by increasing its sales of Grafiti Limited’s product offerings which will include cloud and Macintosh compatible data analytics and statistical visualization software products. We believe this will enable the Grafiti Limited business to focus on generating more recurring revenues in the future.

 

Our Corporate Strategy

 

We are pursuing a corporate strategy focused on developing a business offering of end-to-end solutions ranging from personal mobility products to the collection of data to delivering insights from that data to our customers with a focus on safety and data intelligence and engineering services. In connection with such strategy and to facilitate our long-term growth, we continue to evaluate various strategic transactions, including acquisitions of companies with personal mobility products, technologies and intellectual property that complement those goals by adding technology, differentiation, customers and/or revenue. We are primarily looking for accretive acquisitions that have business value and operational synergies, but will be opportunistic for other strategic and/or attractive transactions. We believe these complementary technologies will add value to the Company and allow us to provide a comprehensive integrated personal mobility ecosystem to our customers. In addition, we may seek to expand our capabilities around safety, security, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality or other high growth sectors. Candidates with proven technologies and personal mobility products that complement our overall strategy may come from anywhere in the world, as long as there are strategic and financial reasons to make the acquisition. We are also exploring opportunities that will supplement our revenue growth. We are primarily looking for accretive acquisitions that have business value and operational synergies, yet also opportunistic for other strategic and/or attractive transactions that we believe may increase overall shareholder value, which may include, but not be limited to, other alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments and joint ventures. If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions using our equity securities and/or cash and debt financings in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.

December 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville

 

On December 20, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”). Under the agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Streeterville one or more pre-paid purchases at an aggregate purchase price of up to $10,000,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount”) for the purchase of the Company’s common shares. As consideration for Streeterville’s commitment, the Company also agreed to issue 343,053 common shares to Streeterville (the “Commitment Shares”).

 

Each pre-paid purchase includes an original issue discount of 7% and accrues interest at an annual rate of 8%. For the initial pre-paid purchase, which closed on December 20, 2024 (the “Initial Closing Date”), Streeterville paid $2,000,000, creating in an initial principal balance of $2,140,000.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement entered into on the same date, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, to register the resale of 18,000,000 common shares, including the Commitment Shares and common shares issuable pursuant to the pre-paid purchases (the “Registration Statement”). If the Registration Statement is declared effective within 90 days of the Initial Closing Date and no default has occurred, and if requested by the Company, Streeterville will fund $1,000,000 for a second pre-paid purchase. The Registration Statement was declared effective on February 6, 2025. 

 

Within a committed two-year period, and subject to certain specified conditions, the Company may request the issuance of additional pre-paid purchases to Streeterville, with each purchase amount no less than $250,000, provided that the total outstanding balance of all pre-paid purchases does not exceed $3,000,000.

 

The proceeds from the pre-paid purchases are expected to be used for working capital and other corporate purposes. However, $100,000 from the initial pre-paid purchase funding, and 15% of the funding from subsequent pre-paid purchases, shall be used to repay the indebtedness under the secured promissory note issued to Streeterville in June 2024 with an original principal amount of $6,470,000.

 

Following the funding of each pre-paid purchase, Streeterville has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the Company its common shares not exceeding (i) the outstanding balance of the funded amount, and (ii) 9.99% beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The purchase price of the common shares will be the lower of (i) $1.50 or (ii) 90% of the lowest daily VWAP during the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the purchase notice date, but not less than the floor price, which is equal to 20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) prior to the applicable closing. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to seek shareholder approval for the issuance of common shares up to the Total Commitment Amount (the “Required Shareholder Approval”). Until such approval is obtained, the Company will not request additional pre-paid purchases that may cause the total amount of common shares issuable to exceed the limits set under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Exchange Cap”).

 

The outstanding pre-paid purchases, unless reduced by the Company’s sale of common shares to Streeterville as described, will remain outstanding and may be repaid in cash at the Company’s option. There is no maturity date for the outstanding balance of the pre-paid purchases. However, if the Company fails to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval at its initial shareholder meeting, any remaining outstanding balance above the Exchange Cap must be repaid in cash. Additionally, if certain triggering events occur, including (a) the VWAP of the Company’s common shares falling below the floor price for at least five trading days within a seven-trading-day period, or (b) the Company having issued 75% of the shares under the Exchange Cap, the Company must make monthly cash repayments of $350,000 in principal plus any accrued unpaid interest until the outstanding balance is fully repaid or the triggering event conditions are resolved. In an event of default as specified in the pre-paid purchase, Streeterville may accelerate repayment, requiring the outstanding balance to become immediately due, with a 10% increase to the principal and interest accruing at a rate of 18% per annum.

 

On January 28, 2025, Streeterville made the second pre-paid security purchase in the amount of $600,000, creating an additional balance of $642,000. On February 7, 2025, Streeterville made the third pre-paid security purchase in the amount of $1,200,000, creating an additional balance of $1,285,000. $90,000 from the second pre-paid security purchase funding and $180,000 from the third pre-paid security purchase funding were used to repay the indebtedness under the secured promissory note issued to Steeterville in June 2024 with an original principal amount of $6,470,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience, current trends, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be affected. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included in the information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the amended registration statement on Form 10-12B filed with the SEC on September 26, 2024.

Revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 was $49,523 compared to $nil for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase of revenue was due to the Company having consolidated the newly acquired subsidiary, Grafiti Limited.

Sales and marketing expenses were $178,379 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $196,660 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Sales and marketing expenses were $352,545 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $572,972 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to the decreased sales and marketing activities.

 

Other non-operating income / (loss)

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, other non-operating income were $37,970,099, compared to other non-operating loss of $4,907,787 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase of other non-operating income of $42,877,886 was primarily due to the following:

 

change in fair value of financial liabilities increased by approximately $42,903,000; partially offset by

 

finance expense increased by approximately $25,000.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024, other non-operating income were $32,457,865, compared to other non-operating loss of $6,500,244for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase of other non-operating income of $38,958,109 was primarily due to the following:

 

change in fair value of financial liabilities increased by approximately $39,073,000; partially offset by

 

finance expense increased by approximately $115,000.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net income of $32,521,108, compared to a net loss of $7,130,860 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net income of $25,108,933, compared to a net loss of $12,508,051 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net income is mainly due to the changes in fair value of financial liabilities of $38,990,961 and $34,333,573 recognized for three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Upon the completion of Business Combination, the convertible notes were mandatorily converted into 16,496,750 Damon Motor’s common shares. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the convertible debt approximates fair value of the shares issued.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $788,561, and working capital deficiency of approximately $10 million. Damon’s accumulated deficit and expected future losses cast substantial doubt upon Damon’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, Damon had negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. These operating losses and negative cash flows were mainly the result of on-going operating costs, transaction costs incurred due to the business combination and the public listing exercise and financing cost to sustain its operation. Based on the foregoing and its growth strategy, Damon expects to continue to make significant expenditures to expand Damon’s business and develop manufacturing operations in the future. As a result, Damon may continue to incur operating losses and have negative cash flows in the short term, as it continues to execute on its growth strategy and develop manufacturing capability to produce the motorcycles to meet delivery of the motorcycles in our order book.

Damon’s primary sources of liquidity used in the funding of its operations and the execution of its growth comes from on-going fund raised in the form of issuance of share capital. The Company cannot provide assurance that the Company will secure financing in a timely manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Detailed information about our critical accounting policies and significant judgements and estimates is set forth in Item 1.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and includes, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, being December 31, 2024. This evaluation was carried out by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024.

 

Due to the Company’s recent completing the going public Business Combination, the Company did not have sufficient time to perform the effective assessment of the internal control and keep formal documentation for design and implementation of the Company’s internal control systems including processes needed to mitigate critical risks.

 

Management is currently completing the formal documentation for the design and implementation of the of the internal control systems and will perform testing.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

The material weakness described above has not been remediated as of December 31, 2024 and there were no changes in our internal controls except for our current progress to complete documentation and testing (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not party to, nor is any of our property the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings reportable under Item 103 of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the risk factors below, a description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement on Form S-1/A filed by the Company on January 31, 2025, which are incorporated herein by reference. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risks.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which may afford less protection to shareholders.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those required under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. These home country corporate governance practices may differ in significant respects and could provide less protection to shareholders than they would have under the Nasdaq rules applicable to domestic issuers.

 

Specifically, we do not intend to adhere to the following Nasdaq corporate governance requirements and will instead follow the corporate and securities laws, rules, and regulations of the Province of British Columbia, Canada:

 

Regularly Scheduled Independent Director Meetings: We are not required to hold regularly scheduled meetings exclusively attended by independent directors. However, we are subject to certain corporate governance disclosure requirements under Canadian securities laws and must disclose whether the independent directors hold executive sessions and, if such executive sessions are held, how many of these meetings have been held since the beginning of our most recently completed financial year. If we do not hold executive sessions, we must describe what the Board does to facilitate open and candid discussion among our independent directors.

 

  Proxy Delivery Requirements: As a “foreign private issuer”, we are exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. We will solicit proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

 

  Shareholder Approval for Certain Transactions: We do not require shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including:

 

  o Acquisition of another company’s stock or assets;
     
  o Equity-based compensation plans for employees;
     
  o A change of control; or
     
  o Certain private placements.

 

  Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports: We intend to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5250(d)(1) and 5250(d)(4)(A), but we may not do so or on a consistent basis. We are required to file annual and interim financial statements with the SEC and on SEDAR+, a secure web-based system maintained on behalf of the Canadian Securities Administrators and accessible at www.sedarplus.ca, and to send annually a request form to the registered holders and beneficial owners of our common shares that can be used to request a paper copy of our audited annual financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, and a copy of our unaudited interim financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, in each case free of charge.

 

As a result, shareholders will not have the same rights and protections as they would if we complied with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements for U.S. domestic issuers.

 

11

 

 

We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses and may impede our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq.

 

The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to the Company on the last business day of December 2025. If the Company loses its foreign private issuer status on this determination date, then, beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following the determination date, it would have to comply with U.S. federal proxy rules and Regulation FD, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders would become subject to the reporting and short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company would lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, the Company may incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer, as well as increased accounting, reporting and other expenses in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange. If the Company loses its foreign private issuer status and is unable to devote adequate funding and the resources needed to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements applicable to domestic issuers, the Company may become unable to maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

 

We have a history of operating losses and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability, raise additional financing or continue as a going concern.

 

We have a history of operating losses and have accumulated a deficit of $115,498,661 as of December 31, 2024, and expect to incur additional future losses. The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient financing.

 

Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon sustaining targeted cost reductions and generating sufficient revenues. While we have implemented measures to reduce non-essential costs, these reductions alone are insufficient to offset our operating losses. Our management is evaluating options and strategic transactions and continuing to market and promote our product and service offerings to increase revenues, however, there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability. We have funded our operations primarily with private offerings and debt financing. Our history of operating losses and cash uses, our projections of the level of cash that will be required for our operations to reach profitability, may impair our ability to raise capital on terms that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings or debt financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the requisite amount of financing needed to fund our planned operations, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern, and we may have to curtail, or even to cease, certain operations. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, it will be dilutive to our shareholders and could result in a decrease in our share price.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these weaknesses, or otherwise fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business, our share price and access to the capital markets.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and those weaknesses have led to a conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024. Our inability to remediate the material weaknesses, our discovery of additional weaknesses, and our inability to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our results of operations, our share price and investor confidence in our company.

 

12

 

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and report on the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in more detail under Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” above, we have identified material weaknesses as of December 31, 2024. Due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have also concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024.

 

Failure to have effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures can impair our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis and has led and could again lead to a restatement of our financial statements. If, as a result of the ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we cannot provide reliable financial statements, our business decision processes may be adversely affected, our business and results of operations could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and our ability to obtain additional financing, or additional financing on favorable terms, could be adversely affected.

 

Our management has taken action to begin remediating the material weaknesses; however, certain remedial actions have not started or have only recently been undertaken, and while we expect to continue to implement our remediation plans throughout the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, we cannot be certain as to when remediation will be fully completed. In addition, we could in the future identify additional internal control deficiencies that could rise to the level of a material weakness or uncover other errors in financial reporting. During the course of our evaluation, we may identify areas requiring improvement and may be required to design additional enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review. In addition, there can be no assurance that such remediation efforts will be successful, that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts or that any such future deficiencies identified may not be material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods.

 

If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to rely on the integrity of our financial results, which could result in inaccurate or additional late reporting of our financial results, as well as delays or the inability to meet our future reporting obligations or to comply with SEC rules and regulations. This could result in claims or proceedings against us, including by shareholders or the SEC. The defense of any such claims could cause the diversion of the Company’s attention and resources and could cause us to incur significant legal and other expenses even if the matters are resolved in our favor.

 

Our common shares are listed on Nasdaq, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to satisfy the applicable listing standards going forward.

 

The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC requires listed companies to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed. On January 7, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq staff providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. To regain compliance, the MVLS of the Company’s common shares must be $50 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before July 7, 2025. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by July 7, 2025, Nasdaq will provide a written notification to the Company that our common shares are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.

 

The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and July 7, 2025, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the MVLS Requirement and regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.

 

Additionally, on January 22, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq staff providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive days, the Company’s common shares had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.

 

13

 

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until July 21, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing price of the Company’s common shares closes at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before July 21, 2025. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by July 21, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market except for the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing price of its common shares between now and July 21, 2025, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule including effecting a reverse stock split. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.

 

Delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market or any Nasdaq market could make trading our common shares more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. In addition, without a Nasdaq market listing, shareholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our shares, the sale or purchase of our shares would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our shares could decline. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity and make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common shares as transaction consideration or the value accorded our common shares by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common shares and the ability of our shareholders to sell our common shares in the secondary market. We cannot assure you that our common shares, if delisted from Nasdaq, will be listed on another national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the counter quotation system. If our common shares are delisted, they may come within the definition of “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and would be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That Rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Issuance of the Amalgamation Consideration

 

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement under the laws of British Columbia, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, securityholders of Damon Motors exchanged their securities of Damon Motors for amalgamation consideration (the “Amalgamation Consideration”) consisting of: (i) 14,764,803 common shares of the Company; (ii) 1,391,181 multiple voting shares of the Company issued to Jay Giraud, the Company’s then CEO and director, and its controlled entity, which shares have been converted to common shares of the Company on a 1 for 1 basis; (iii) warrants to purchase 2,186,478 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $7.81 per share, with terms substantially similar to those of Damon Motors’s warrants, issued to former Damon Motors warrant holders, and (iv) options to purchase 1,942,127 common shares at exercise prices between $0.57 and $12.73, issued to former Damon optionholders under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Amalgamation Consideration was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, on the basis that these securities were issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the fairness of which was approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville

 

On December 20, 2024, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville and agreed to issue and sell to Streeterville one or more pre-paid purchases at an aggregate purchase price of up to $10,000,000 for the purchase of the Company’s common shares. As consideration for Streeterville’s commitment, the Company also agreed to issue 343,053 common shares to Streeterville (the “Commitment Shares”) The offer and sale of the pre-paid purchases, the Commitment Shares and the common shares issuable under the pre-paid purchases were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, on the basis that these securities are issued to an institutional accredited investor and the Company did not engage in any general solicitation in connection with such offer and sale.

Compensation Shares to Marketing Service Provider

 

On December 16, 2024, the Company issued 401,884 common shares to a marketing service provider for its past services to Damon Motors. The offer and sale of the shares were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, on the basis that these securities are issued to an entity accredited investor and the Company did not engage in any general solicitation in connection with such offer and sale.

 

c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

None.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

Information Required for a Form 8-K

 

The information set forth below is included herein for the purpose of providing disclosure under “Item 8.01 Other Events.” of Form 8-K.

 

The Company has determined that it qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, based on the applicable criteria as of the last business day of the Company’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, ended December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the Company’s qualification as a foreign private issuer, the Company has voluntarily chosen to file with the SEC periodic and current reports and registration statements on forms prescribed for U.S. domestic issuers, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this quarterly report, current reports on Form 8-K, and registration statements on Form S-1, instead of filing on the reporting and registration forms available to foreign private issuers. The SEC Forms prescribed for U.S. domestic issuers are more detailed and extensive in certain respects, and must be filed more promptly, than the forms currently available to foreign private issuers.

 

Although the Company has chosen to file periodic and current reports on U.S. domestic issuer forms, the Company will maintain its status as a foreign private issuer as long as it meets the qualifications for a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Company intends to avail itself of exemptions from certain provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies and certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq applicable to domestic U.S. issuers.

 

As a foreign private issuer, the Company will avail itself of the following exemptions from the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

 

sections of the Exchange Act that regulate the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of any securities registered under the Exchange Act; and

 

sections of the Exchange Act that require insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and that impose liability on insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time.

 

15

 

 

Accordingly, the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the requirements to report transactions in the Company’s equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is also not subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

Additionally, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is permitted, and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the listing rules of Nasdaq for domestic U.S. issuers. These home country corporate governance practices could differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would have if the Company complied with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. The Company’s corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules in the following manner:

 

Shareholder Approval Requirements

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 requires shareholder approval for issuances of common shares, or any securities convertible or exercisable into common shares:

 

(a)in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company

 

(i)where, due to the present or potential issuance of common shares (including shares issued pursuant to an earn-out or similar type of provision, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares) other than a public offering for cash:

 

(A)the common shares constitute or will upon issuance constitute at least 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of the common shares (or, if applicable before the issuance of the securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares); or

 

(B)the common shares constitute or will upon issuance constitute at least 20% of the number of common shares outstanding before the issuance; or

 

(ii)if any director, officer or Substantial Shareholder (as defined by Rule 5635(e)(3) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules) of the listed company has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target company or assets to be acquired, or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions, and the present or potential issuance of common shares, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares, could result in an increase of 5% or more in the outstanding common shares or voting power of the listed company; and

 

(b)where the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the listed company.

 

The Company intends to follow the British Columbia corporate and securities laws, which do not require shareholder approval for dilutive events unless the Company were to dispose of all or substantially all of its undertaking.

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) also requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when a stock option or purchase plan is established or materially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants, except for:

 

(a)warrants or rights issued generally to all security holders of the listed company or stock purchase plans available on equal terms to all security holders of the listed company (such as a typical dividend reinvestment plan);

 

(b)tax qualified, non-discriminatory employee benefit plans (e.g., plans that meet the requirements of Section 401(a) or 423 of the Internal Revenue Code) or parallel nonqualified plans, provided such plans are approved by the listed company’s independent compensation committee or a majority of the listed company’s independent directors; or plans that merely provide a convenient way to purchase shares on the open market or from the listed company at market value;

 

16

 

 

(c)plans or arrangements relating to an acquisition or merger as permitted under IM-5635-1; or

 

(d)issuances to a person not previously an employee or director of the listed company, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual’s entering into employment with the listed company, provided such issuances are approved by either the listed company’s independent compensation committee or a majority of the listed company’s independent directors. Promptly following an issuance of any employment inducement grant in reliance on this exception, a listed company must disclose in a press release the material terms of the grant, including the recipient(s) of the grant and the number of shares involved.

 

The Company intends to follow British Columbia corporate and securities laws, which do not require shareholder approval of equity compensation plans or most discount to market offerings of securities unless otherwise indicated in the Articles of the Company. If the Company intends to grant incentive stock options (ISOs) to U.S. employees in excess of the 10 million maximum number of common shares that may be issued as ISOs under the Company’s 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, which plan received Company shareholder approval in June, 2024, the Company will need to obtain stockholder approval of any such additional ISOs under relevant U.S. Internal Revenue Code provisions.

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) also requires shareholder approval where there is a transaction other than a public offering (as defined in Nasdaq IM-5635-3), involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the listed company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), which alone or together with sales by officers, directors or Substantial Shareholders of the listed company, equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance (a “20% Issuance”) at a price less than the lower of (the “Minimum Price”):

 

(a)the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or

 

(b)the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.

 

The Company intends to follow British Columbia corporate and securities laws, which do not require shareholder approval of 20% Issuances at a price that is less than the Minimum Price.

 

Executive Sessions

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(2), a listed company must have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present (“executive sessions”).  The rule contemplates that executive sessions will occur at least twice a year, and perhaps more frequently, in conjunction with regularly scheduled board meetings.  Under applicable Canadian rules, customs and practice, the Company’s independent directors are not required to hold executive sessions.  However, since the Company’s common shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq, the Company is subject to certain disclosure requirements prescribed in Canadian Form 58-101F1 - Corporate Governance Disclosure. In particular, the Company must disclose whether the independent directors hold executive sessions and, if such executive sessions are held, how many of these meetings have been held since the beginning of the Company’s most recently completed financial year. If the Company does not hold executive sessions, the Company must describe what the Board does to facilitate open and candid discussion among its independent directors.

 

Proxy Delivery Requirements

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(b), a listed company that is not a limited partnership must solicit proxies and provide proxy statements for all meetings of shareholders, and also provide copies of such proxy solicitation materials to Nasdaq. As a foreign private issuer, the equity securities of the Company are exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

 

17

 

 

Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(d)(1), a listed company shall make available to shareholders an annual report containing audited financial statements of the listed company and its subsidiaries (which, for example may be on Form 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR) within a reasonable period of time following the filing of the annual report with the SEC. A listed company may comply with this requirement either:

 

(a)by mailing the report to the shareholders;

 

(b)by satisfying the requirements for furnishing an annual report contained in Rule 14a-16 under the Act; or

 

(c)by posting the annual report to shareholders on or through the listed company’s website, along with a prominent undertaking in the English language to provide shareholders, upon request, a hard copy of the listed company’s annual report free of charge. A listed company that chooses to satisfy this requirement pursuant to this paragraph (c) must, simultaneous with this posting, issue a press release stating that its annual report has been filed with the SEC (or other regulatory authority). This press release shall also state that: (i) the annual report is available on the listed company’s website and include the website address; and (ii) shareholders may receive a hard copy free of charge upon request. A listed company must provide such hard copies within a reasonable period of time following the request.

 

In addition, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(d)(4)(A), each listed company that is not a limited partnership and is not subject to Rule 13a-13 under the Exchange Act and that is required to file with the SEC, or other regulatory authority, interim reports relating primarily to operations and financial position, shall make available to shareholders reports which reflect the information contained in those interim reports. Such reports shall be made available to shareholders either before or as soon as practicable following filing with the appropriate regulatory authority. If the form of the interim report provided to shareholders differs from that filed with the regulatory authority, the listed company shall file one copy of the report to shareholders with Nasdaq in addition to the report to the regulatory authority that is filed with Nasdaq pursuant to Rule 5250(c)(1).

 

The Company intends to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5250(d)(1) and 5250(d)(4)(A) but the Company may not do so or on a consistent basis. Instead, the Company may determine to comply with British Columbia corporate and securities laws which do not require the distribution of annual or interim reports to shareholders but do require the Company to place before the annual general meeting the annual financial statements that the Company is required to file with the applicable securities commissions in Canada under the Securities Act (British Columbia) in relation to the most recently completed financial year, file annual and interim financial statements on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and send annually a request form to the registered holders and beneficial owners of its securities that can be used to request a paper copy of the Company’s audited annual financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, and a copy of the Company’s unaudited interim financial reports and related management discussion and analysis, in each case free of charge.

 

As a result, our shareholders will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to these Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Please refer to the relevant risk factors discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” above.

 

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined under Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
