ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Any failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.
The shares of our Common Stock are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol VEEE. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholders equity requirement, or the minimum closing bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our Common Stock. Such a de-listing or even notification of failure to comply with such requirements would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Markets listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price, improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from once again dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Markets listing requirements.
On May 10, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaqs Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 28, 2024 through May 9, 2024), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), or the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. We were provided 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2024, to regain compliance, which deadline was subsequently extended to May 5, 2025. On April 4, 2025, we filed the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025, and our Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025. On April 28, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had determined that we now comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as covered securities. Because our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, it is a covered security. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our Common Stock would cease to be recognized as a covered security and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
There can be no assurance that our increased stock price following the Reverse Stock Split will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any continued requirements and policies of Nasdaq or that our common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq.
At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Twin Vee Board of Directors, a reverse stock split at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors and included in a public announcement. On April 4, 2025, we filed the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 7, 2025, and our Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 8, 2025.
While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain the listing of our Common Stock, even if we should effect another reverse stock split for the purpose of regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if a listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then we are not eligible for a Compliance Period.
Accordingly, we may fail to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement or the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Any non-compliance may be costly, divert our managements time and attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financing, and results of operation A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of the common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, materially adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline further, and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a loss from operations of $14,551,769 and a net loss of $14,009,906. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2025, we incurred a loss from operations of $3,354,9006,131,595 and a net loss of $3,264,3116,019,824. As of June 30September, 2025 and December 31, 2024 we had accumulated deficits of $28,657,26631,412,779 and $25,392,955, respectively. Our unaudited financial statements for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2025 and our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are issued.
36
Despite our ongoing efforts to mitigate these conditions, there can be no assurance that our expenses will not continue to increase in future periods or that the cash generated from operations in future periods will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs. Although we have classified $4,334,523 ofWhile the sale of the land and building and land in Marion, North Carolina as an asset held for sale, the proceeds of which could help our liquiditytook place subsequent to quarter-end and we received a $500,000 payment at closing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell the land and building in the next twelve months or, if we do engagcollect subsequent payments due in such a sale, that thfuture proceeds will be as expectederiods. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our continued operations, there can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available,
36
may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to fill new orders and develop new products. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are filed with the SEC, and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations and/or raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate efforts to expand our dealer network or develop new models and may be forced to cease operations or liquidate assets.
We depend on our network of independent dealers for our boats, face increasing competition for dealers, and have little control over their activities.
A significant portion of our sales are derived from our network of independent dealers. We typically manufacture our gas-powered boats based upon indications of interest received from dealers who are not contractually obligated to purchase any boats. While our dealers typically have purchased all of the boats for which they have provided us with indications of interest, it is possible that a dealer could choose not to purchase boats for which it has provided an indication of interest (e.g., if it were to have reached the credit limit on its floor plan), and as a result we once experienced, and in the future could experience, excess inventory and costs. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2025, threefour individual dealers each represented over 10% of our total sales and together represented 7083% of total sales. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2024, threefour individual dealers each represented over 10% of our total sales, and combinedtogether represented 4967% of total sales. The loss of a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The number of dealers supporting our products and the quality of their marketing and servicing efforts are essential to our ability to generate sales. Competition for dealers among other boat manufacturers continues to increase based on the quality, price, value, and availability of the manufacturers products, the manufacturers attention to customer service, and the marketing support that the manufacturer provides to the dealers. We face intense competition from other boat manufacturers in attracting and retaining dealers, affecting our ability to attract or retain relationships with qualified and successful dealers. Although our management believes that the quality of our products in the performance sport boat industry should permit us to maintain our relationships with our dealers and our market share position, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or improve our relationships with our dealers or our market share position. In addition, independent dealers in the boating industry have experienced significant consolidation in recent years, which could result in the loss of one or more of our dealers in the future if the surviving entity in any such consolidation purchases similar products from a competitor. A substantial deterioration in the number of dealers or the quality of our network of dealers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The loss of one or a few dealers could have a material adverse effect on us.
A few dealers have in the past, and may in the future, account for a significant portion of our revenues in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2025, threefour individual dealers represented over 10% of our total sales and combined represented 7083% of total sales. The loss of business from a significant dealer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
37
We rely on third-party suppliers in the manufacturing of our boats.
We depend on third-party suppliers to provide components and raw materials essential to the construction of our boats. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2025, we purchased all engines for our boats under supplier agreements with three vendors. While we believe that our relationships with our current suppliers are sufficient to provide the materials necessary to meet present production demand, we cannot assure you that these relationships will continue or that the quantity or quality of materials available from these suppliers will be sufficient to meet our future needs, irrespective of whether we successfully implement our growth strategy. We expect that our need for raw materials and supplies will increase. Our suppliers must be prepared to ramp up operations and, in many cases, hire additional workers and/or expand capacity in order to fulfill the orders placed by us and other customers. Operational and financial difficulties that our suppliers may face in the future could adversely affect their ability to supply us with the parts and components we need, which could significantly disrupt our operations.
37
We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2025, we do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and in accordance with GAAP. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.
Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses, due to inadequate staffing levels. We have retained a full-time controller and financial analyst and a controllerre utilizing the services of experienced SEC reporting consultants as necessary. We have also selected and implemented a robust operating system and we are utilizing the assistance of outside advisors where appropriate. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from our international expansion. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
38
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.
38
We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions that could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We are currently, and may in the future be, subject to substantial litigation, regulatory actions, government investigations, proceedings and similar actions including matters related to commercial disputes, intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, whistleblower, environmental, tax, accounting, class action, and product liability, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert managements attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
On March 10, 2025, shareholders Nabeel Youseph and Marisa Hardyal-Youseph (Plaintiffs), who are former holders of common stock of Forza X1, Inc. (Forza), commenced an action in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, captioned Youseph, et al. v. Visconti, et al., Case No. 2025-0262, by filing a putative class action complaint (the Complaint) against Defendants Joseph Visconti, Kevin Schuyler, Neil Ross, Twin Vee PowerCats Co. and Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc. (collectively, Defendants), related to Forzas merger with Twin Vee seeking an unspecified award of damages, plus interest, costs, and attorneys fees. Plaintiffs Complaint asserts claims (1) against Defendants for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as controlling shareholders of Forza, (2) against Messrs. Visconti, Schuyler, and Ross for breach of fiduciary duty in their capacities as directors of Forza, and (3) against Mr. Visconti for breach of fiduciary duty in his capacity as an officer of Forza. Defendants deny the allegations and intend to vigorously defend against the claims. At this time, as the matter is in its early stages, we are unable to estimate or project the ultimate outcome of this matter.
These securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other current or future litigation matters may be time-consuming, divert managements attention and resources, cause us to incur significant defense and settlement costs or liability. We intend to vigorously defend against all such claims. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, as well as claims for indemnity from various of the parties concerned, we may from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. While a certain amount of insurance coverage is available for expenses or losses associated with current or future lawsuits, this coverage may not be sufficient. Determining reserves for any litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that is subject to judgment calls. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines or penalties or to settle claims or proceedings, any of which could harm our business. Based on information currently available, we are unable to estimate reasonably a possible loss or range of possible losses, if any, with regard to the current securities class action; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. Although we plan to defend against the securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions and other lawsuits vigorously, we cannot assure that the results of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

We may be required to repurchase inventory of certain dealers.
Many of our dealers have floor plan financing arrangements with third-party finance companies that enable the dealers to purchase our products. In connection with these agreements, we have an obligation to repurchase our products from a finance company under certain circumstances, and we may not have any control over the timing or amount of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptable to us to satisfy any repurchase obligation. This obligation is triggered if a dealer defaults on its debt obligations to a finance company, the finance company repossesses the boat, and the boat is returned to us. Our obligation to repurchase a repossessed boat for the unpaid balance of our original invoice price for the boat is subject to reduction or limitation based on the age and condition of the boat at the time of repurchase, and in certain cases by an aggregate cap on repurchase obligations associated with a particular floor plan financing program. As disclosed in the notes accompanying the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, on April 21, 2025, Northpoint Commercial Finance LLC (Northpoint) requested that we take possession of and repurchase certain inventory consisting of six boats in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement between us and Northpoint. To Prior to that date, we have not been obligated to repurchase any other boats under our dealers floor plan financing arrangements,
39
and we are not aware of any applicable laws regulating dealer relations which govern our relations with the dealers or would require us to repurchase any boats. However, there is no assurance that a dealer will not default on the terms of a credit line in the future. In addition, applicable laws regulating dealer relations may also require us to repurchase our products from our dealers under certain circumstances, and we may not have any control over the timing or amount of any repurchase obligation nor have access to capital on terms acceptable to us to satisfy any repurchase obligation. If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement or under applicable dealer laws, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Certain of our shareholders have sufficient voting power to make corporate governance decisions that could have a significant influence on us and the other stockholders.
Our Chief Executive Officer owns 10.4% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, our Chief Executive Officer does and will have significant influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in our control and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.
