Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Business Combination On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation (the Seller) to broaden the Companys range of drone products. The Seller sold certain assets used in designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling long range, AI-powered UAVs for commercial use. Pursuant to the APA, the Company has acquired substantially all of the assets owned, controlled or used by the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $14,000,000 worth of shares of the Companys common stock, and as such, the asset purchase will be treated as a business combination. The purchase price was payable as follows: $7 million worth of the Companys common stock issued on September 30, 2024, totaling 2,544,991 shares, equal to the VWAP on such date. $7 million worth of the Companys common stock issued on December 31, 2024, totaling 698,317 shares, equal to the VWAP on such date. Goodwill for FlightWave is ascribed to existing relationships with several U.S. government agencies including classification as approved vendors. The Company has reported net losses since its inception and is presently unable to determine when and if the tax benefit of this deduction will be realized. The summary of the purchase price and its related allocation at fair market value is as follows: Shares issued $ 14,000,000 Total Purchase Price $ 14,000,000 Assets acquired Inventory $ 297,630 Operating lease right-of-use assets 128,433 Other assets 69,

Commitments and contingencies · 962 characters as filed

Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved, at times, in various legal proceedings involving a variety of matters. We do not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. We have not recorded any litigation reserves as of September 30, 2025 . One pending legal matter is an action filed against Teal in a U.S. District Court in Delaware by Autonodyne, LLC. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract which management denies. We are asserting vigorous defenses to the complaint. A motion for summary judgment was filed by Autonodyne, LLC that will be heard in Delaware Superior Court on December 11 2025. No discovery in this matter has occurred yet.

New accounting pronouncements · 1,296 characters as filed

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 requiring enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The amendments require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and may be applied retrospectively. While the Company is still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, the Company anticipates this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
