Filing identity and period
Important identity mismatch: The request identifies AIRWA INC., but the supplied filing is for Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (formerly Slinger Bag Inc.). This summary reflects the supplied Connexa filing, not an AIRWA filing.
This unaudited Form 10-Q covers the quarter and six months ended October 31, 2022, the company’s fiscal second quarter of fiscal 2023. It was signed on July 18, 2023. Connexa operated in sports equipment and sports technology, including the Slinger tennis ball launcher and Gameface AI. The period’s reported results include PlaySight and Gameface.

For the six months, revenue rose 12% year over year, but gross profit fell about 24% and gross margin contracted materially. The quarter’s revenue fell about 27% year over year. Management attributed lower Slinger sales to reduced post-pandemic demand and lower distributor orders; six-month revenue growth reflected $2.9 million from PlaySight, partly offset by a $1.9 million decline in Slinger sales.
At October 31, current assets were $8.05 million and current liabilities $28.69 million (current ratio approximately 0.28). Total liabilities were $31.90 million; shareholders’ equity was $37.14 million. Inventory was $4.69 million, down from $8.19 million at April 30. The balance sheet showed $0.80 million of current notes payable and $2.00 million of related-party notes due in 2024; the prior $13.2 million convertible notes had been converted into shares in June 2022. Related-party accrued interest was $0.90 million.
Six-month financing cash flow was $5.35 million, principally from common-stock issuance, while cash declined by $0.97 million. The statement of cash flows reports $9.19 million of proceeds from common stock and $3.84 million of note repayments. No income tax provision was recorded.
Changes, outlook, and material risks
- Operating expenses were far lower than in 2021, chiefly because the prior-year period included substantial share-based compensation and acquisition-related costs. The reduction in reported losses therefore does not by itself demonstrate improved underlying profitability.
- Research and development increased as Connexa funded PlaySight development and a Gameface consumer platform and app. Management described plans to pursue tennis, padel, pickleball and other sports analytics, but provided no quantified financial guidance.
- The company stated that substantial doubt existed about its ability to continue as a going concern. It expected to rely on available cash, related-party support and additional debt or equity financing; it warned financing might not be available on acceptable terms or at all. The filing reports an accumulated deficit of $95.89 million.
- After quarter-end, Connexa sold PlaySight in November 2022 for a $2 million promissory note and releases from specified PlaySight obligations, and transferred 75% of Foundation Sports in December. It recorded a full $0.5 million reserve against its remaining Foundation investment. These transactions followed the reporting date and are not included in the October 31 balance sheet.
- In January 2023, the company obtained an initial $1.4 million secured loan, with up to $0.6 million more available, and issued warrants potentially covering a substantial number of shares. The loan was guaranteed by subsidiaries and secured by company and subsidiary assets. The September 2022 private placement also included extensive warrants and pre-funded warrants, creating significant potential dilution.
- Nasdaq concerns included delinquent filings, bid-price noncompliance and board and committee composition. Nasdaq granted continued listing subject to filing and governance conditions and a deadline to regain bid-price compliance; the company cautioned that compliance was not assured.
- Management said internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to material weaknesses involving segregation of duties, accounting resources, inventory controls and timely reconciliations. Remediation efforts were underway but not yet complete. The filing also identifies customer and supplier concentration: two customers represented 41% of receivables and four suppliers 56% of payables.
Key facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the filing belongs to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc., not AIRWA INC., and verify the reporting period and filing date.
- Review current cash needs, the going-concern disclosure, subsequent financing terms, collateral and repayment obligations.
- Assess dilution from the private-placement warrants, pre-funded warrants, subsequent loan warrants and shares issued in debt conversions.
- Check the status and accounting effects of the PlaySight sale and Foundation Sports divestiture, including the collectability of the $2 million note.
- Verify Nasdaq listing status, delinquent-filing resolution, governance compliance and progress in remediating internal-control weaknesses.
- Reconcile inconsistencies in the filing’s MD&A tables and narrative against the primary financial statements; for example, the financing cash-flow narrative contains a sign inconsistency, and some MD&A expense figures differ slightly from the statements.
