It was originally anticipated that we would retrofit a gas-powered boat with an electric motor that would be designed by us and that we would also sell the motors to other third-party boat manufacturers to retrofit their boats. The retrofitting would require extensive development, testing and manufacturing of multiple variations of electric motors.
Removed
However, consumer preference in the electric marine market was and is trending towards a single purchase of a fully integrated electric boat rather than a retrofitted existing gas and diesel fuel powered boat with electric outboard motors and battery packs.
Removed
Therefore, we decided not to continue designing electric motors for retrofitting, resulting in us no longer needing any funding for the design, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of our fully electric propulsion system and instead those funds are anticipated to be used for working capital needs.
Removed
Further, we originally anticipated that we would acquire waterfront property for a testing center in Fort Pierce, the price of real estate in Florida has prohibited us from moving forward. Therefore, we decided to use the $3,500,000 of funds to build additional manufacturing space at our Fort Pierce location.
