- Sales rose 95%, reflecting increased Slinger Bag orders and the addition of PlaySight-related revenue. Technology segment sales were $1.39 million; equipment sales were $3.56 million.
- Gross profit increased, but gross margin declined. Operating expenses rose about $3.10 million, led by general and administrative costs, research and development, and selling and marketing.
- Net loss included $2.87 million of debt-discount amortization and a $3.69 million noncash gain from changes in derivative fair value. Net loss per share was $(0.61), versus $(1.18); weighted-average shares increased to 7.03 million from 2.91 million.
- At July 31, cash and cash equivalents were $1.60 million and restricted cash was $0.15 million. Current assets were $12.62 million and current liabilities $23.04 million; the resulting current ratio was approximately 0.55. Total liabilities were $26.36 million. The balance sheet showed $2.00 million of related-party notes, $3.87 million of current notes payable, and no convertible notes outstanding.
- Cash increased by $0.17 million, to $1.75 million including restricted cash, despite substantial operating cash use. Financing included $4.20 million of cash equity proceeds and $0.93 million of related-party borrowings, partly offset by debt repayments.
Material changes and unusual items
- On June 17, 2022, $13.20 million of convertible-note principal and about $0.85 million of accrued interest were converted into 4.39 million common shares. The conversion eliminated the convertible-note balance but contributed to substantial share dilution.
- The company completed a $4.20 million cash equity issuance and a 1-for-10 reverse stock split during the quarter. Common shares outstanding increased from 4.19 million at April 30 to 10.26 million at July 31.
- On July 29, 2022, the company entered into two merchant cash advance agreements. Each provided $0.75 million before $60,000 in fees in exchange for $1.12 million of future receivables, with weekly remittances and collateral provisions. The filing describes a lower payoff option of $855,000 per agreement if paid within 45 days.
- Management attributed higher general and administrative expenses partly to acquisition integration, increased staffing, and legal, listing, and filing costs. Higher research and development costs reflected technology/app development and development of launchers for additional sports.
- Subsequent events disclosed the sale of PlaySight in November 2022 and disposal of 75% of Foundation Sports in December 2022, actions management said were intended to reduce funding demands. These occurred after the reporting period.
Outlook, risks, and controls
- Going concern: The filing states there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing an accumulated deficit of $84.86 million and anticipated further losses. Management expected to rely on existing cash, related-party loans, and additional debt or equity financing; it gave no assurance financing would be available on acceptable terms or at all.
- Management described plans to focus on tennis, padel, and pickleball, develop an AI-enabled Slinger app, and pursue additional sports applications. The filing provides no quantified revenue or earnings guidance.
- Listing and reporting risk: The filing recounts Nasdaq notices related to late filings, bid-price compliance, and board and committee composition. Nasdaq granted continued-listing relief subject to conditions and an extended bid-price compliance deadline; the company cautioned it might not regain compliance. The filing also says this 10-Q was delinquent.
- Internal controls: Management concluded disclosure controls/internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of July 31, 2022, citing material weaknesses in segregation of duties, inventory accounting, accounting resources, reconciliations, and oversight. Remediation was still in progress.
- Other cited risks include continued operating losses, financing needs, supply-chain disruption, customer and supplier concentration, and uncertainty around acquired businesses. Two customers represented 64% of trade receivables and four suppliers 68% of trade payables at July 31.
Most important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the issuer and period: the supplied filing is Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. for the quarter ended July 31, 2022, not AIRWA Inc.
- Review subsequent filings and financing activity to assess liquidity, repayment of merchant cash advances, and whether the going-concern uncertainty was resolved.
- Verify the consequences of the Nasdaq listing conditions, filing delays, and disclosed governance deficiencies.
- Assess dilution from note conversions, equity issuances, and warrants, including subsequent capital raises.
- Reconcile the cash-flow narrative: the MD&A contains an apparent sign inconsistency for 2022 financing cash flow, while the cash-flow statement reports positive financing cash flow of $3.41 million.
- Evaluate the effect of the PlaySight and Foundation Sports dispositions on future revenue, costs, assets, and reported results.
