1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza” or the “Company”) was initially incorporated as Electra Power Sports, Inc. on October 15, 2021, but subsequently changed its name to Forza X1, Inc. on October 29, 2021. The Company’s parent company was incorporated in the State of Florida as Twin Vee Catamarans, Inc. on December 1, 2009, and reincorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2021, as Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (“Twin Vee”).

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to discontinue and wind down the Company’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Twin Vee PowerCats Co. As part of this decision, the Company obtained an appraisal of its partially constructed facility in Monroe, NC and evaluated the carrying costs of its assets, primarily its inventory and fixed assets. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of $1,674,000 against the carrying cost of its partially constructed building as of June 30, 2024. The Company has evaluated any material liabilities resulting from this action and has determined that there are no additional material liabilities to be recorded as of September 30, 2024.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial statements and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied and control over promised goods is transferred to the dealer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for a product.

 

Payment received for the future sale of a boat to a customer is recognized as a customer deposit. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer deposits of $6,175 and $5,700, respectively, which is recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. These deposits are expected to be returned to customers within a one-year period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States “U.S. GAAP” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in those estimates are assumptions about useful life of fixed assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of the purchase. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,200,427 and $9,821,531, respectively.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

 

●Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

 

●Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

●Level 3: Significant 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 a significant judgment or estimation.

 

Financial instruments measured as fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires it to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

 

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk

 

The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit of $250,000 are at risk. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $6,920,427 and $9,557,799, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which are raw materials for upcoming production, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method using a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to Cost of Goods Sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $58,100 and $351,158, respectively.
