PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2016
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. ("PASSUR(R)" or the "Company") is a leading business
intelligence company, providing predictive analytics and decision support
technology for the aviation industry primarily to improve the operational
performance and cash flow of airlines and the airports where they operate. The
Company is recognized as a leader in airline and airport operational efficiency
and business aviation marketing and operational solutions, and is a pioneer in
the successful use of big data, with an aviation intelligence platform and suite
of web-based solutions that address the aviation industry's most intractable and
costly challenges, including under utilization of airspace and airport capacity,
delays, cancellations, and diversions, among others. Several studies have
estimated the annual direct costs of such inefficiencies at over $30 billion.
The Company's technology platform is supported by its Aviation Intelligence
Center of Excellence ("COE"), a team of subject matter experts with extensive
experience in airline, airport, and business aviation operations, finance, air
traffic management, systems automation, and data visualization, with specific
expertise in the operational and business needs, requirements, objectives, and
constraints of the aviation industry.
PASSUR's solutions are used by the five largest North American airlines, over 60
airport customers (including 22 of the top 30 North American airports as
customers - with PASSUR solutions also used at the remaining top eight airports
by one or more PASSUR airline customers), more than 200 corporate aviation
customers, and the U.S. government.
PASSUR's mission is to improve global air traffic efficiencies by connecting the
world's aviation professionals onto a single aviation intelligence platform.
PASSUR offers companies products that are commercially proven, commercially
accepted, and with a demonstrated return on investment ("ROI") for airlines,
airports, governments, and business aviation companies.
PASSUR provides data aggregation and consolidation, information, decision
support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional
services to airlines, airports, governments, and business aviation companies. To
enable this unique offering, PASSUR owns and operates the largest commercial
passive radar network in the world that updates flight tracks every 1 to 4.6
seconds, powering a proprietary database that is accessible in real-time and
delivers timely, accurate information and solutions via PASSUR's
industry-leading algorithms and business logic included in its products.
Solutions offered by PASSUR help to ensure flight completion, covering the
entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, and result in reductions in overall
costs and emissions, while maximizing revenue opportunities, as well as
optimizing airline completion rates and enhancing the passenger experience.
PASSUR gives operators the ability to optimize performance in today's air
traffic management system, while bridging the needs of operators and government
aviation agencies through collaborative information exchange, shared procedures,
and common operating metrics. Many of PASSUR's core capabilities developed for
the commercial sector help achieve Next Generation Air Transportation System
("NextGen") objectives. We believe these commercial solutions have helped
operators extract maximum value and capacity from today's infrastructure while
creating business and operational case studies for several core NextGen
programs.
Commercial aviation operators using the airspace depend on information from the
government Air Navigation Services Provider ("ANSP") for flight, airspace, and
airport information outside their own fleets. PASSUR augments and integrates
government information with data from its independent network (the largest
passive commercial radar network in the world), with over 180 radar locations
covering North America from coast to coast, and other installations in Europe
and Asia. PASSUR provides faster aircraft position updates (from 1 to 4.6
seconds), and more complete information on aircraft. PASSUR's sensors receive
aircraft and drone signals in Mode A, C, S, and Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast ("ADS-B"), providing position, altitude, beacon code, and
tail number, among other information.
Page 6 of 19
PASSUR receives signals from aircraft that, when combined with our historical
database of aircraft and airport behavior, including information recorded by our
network over the last 10 years, allows the Company to know more about what has
happened historically, and what is happening in real-time. In addition, the
historical database allows the Company to predict how aircraft, the airspace,
and airports are going to perform, and more importantly, how the aircraft, the
airspace, and airport should perform.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial information contained in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q represents condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include
all footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States("GAAP"). Such footnote information was included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2015, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); the consolidated financial data
included herein should be read in conjunction with that report. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of
January 31, 2015, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015.
The results of operations for the interim period stated above are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be recorded for the full
fiscal year ending October 31, 2016.
Certain financial information in the footnotes has been rounded to the nearest
thousand for presentation purposes.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASSUR and its
wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605-15, ("Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements") which requires that four basic criteria
must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
(3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured.
The Company's revenues are generated by selling: (1) subscription-based,
real-time decision and solution information and (2) professional services.
Revenues generated from subscription agreements are recognized over the term of
such executed agreements and/or customer's receipt of such data or services. In
accordance with ASC 605-15, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists which is evidenced by a signed agreement, the
service has been deployed, as applicable, to its hosted servers, the fee is
fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured. The Company records revenues pursuant to individual contracts on a
month-by-month basis, as outlined by the applicable agreement. In many cases,
the Company may invoice respective customers in advance of the specified period,
either quarterly or annually, which coincides with the terms of the agreement.
In such cases, the Company will defer at the close of each month and/or
reporting period, any subscription revenues invoiced for which services have yet
to be rendered, in accordance with ASC 605-15. Revenues generated by
professional services are recognized when services are provided.
The individual offerings that are included in arrangements with the Company's
customers are identified and priced separately to the customer based upon the
relative fair value for each individual element sold in the arrangement
irrespective of the combination of products and services which are included in a
particular arrangement. As such, the units of accounting are based on each
individual element sold, and revenue is allocated to each element based on
selling price. Selling price is determined using vendor-specific objective
evidence ("VSOE") if available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not
available, or best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE or TPE is
available. BESP must be determined in a manner that is consistent with that used
to determine the price to sell the specific elements on a standalone basis. Best
estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors including,
but not limited to, pricing practices with different classes of customers,
geographies and other factors contemplated in negotiating the arrangement with
the customer. The Company uses either VSOE or BESP.
Page 7 of 19
From time to time, the Company will enter into an agreement with a customer to
receive a one-time fee for rights including, but not limited to, the rights to
use certain data at an agreed upon location(s) for a specific use and/or for an
unlimited number of users. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the
term of the agreement or expected useful life of such arrangement, whichever is
longer, but typically five years.
Deferred revenue is classified on the Company's balance sheet as a liability
until such time as revenue from services is properly recognized as revenue in
accordance with ASC 605-15 and the corresponding agreement.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of
direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR and SMLAT Network Systems, amortization of
capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds,
allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also
included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR and
SMLAT Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software
applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR
and SMLAT Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is
impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems added to the Network,
which includes the cost of production, shipment, and installation of these
assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR Network; and (2) new capitalized
costs associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred
to as "Capitalized Assets" and are depreciated and/or amortized over their
respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due from its
customers under the original terms of its subscription agreements without making
concessions. The Company records accounts receivables for agreements under which
amounts due from customers are contractually required and are non-refundable.
The carrying amount of accounts receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance
that reflects the Company's best estimate of the amounts that will not be
collected. Net accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or
annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each
respective customer's agreement. Account receivable balances include amounts
attributable to deferred revenues.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $45,000 and $30,000 as of January 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts
receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve,
including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, and
economic trends. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable
balances and believes its provision is reasonable.
PASSUR NETWORK
The PASSUR Network is comprised of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems, which include the
direct and indirect production, shipping, and installation costs incurred for
each PASSUR and SMLAT System, which are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is charged to cost of revenues and is recorded using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is
estimated at five years for SMLAT Systems and seven years for PASSUR Systems.
PASSUR and SMLAT Systems which are not installed, raw materials,
work-in-process, and finished goods components are carried at cost and no
depreciation is recorded.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, "Internal Use Software." ASC
350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is
internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software
originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to
the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred
for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company
expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its
development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application
development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the
software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements
add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and
support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company capitalized $621,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and
$521,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2015. The Company records
amortization of the software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the software, typically five years.
Page 8 of 19
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized
to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be
disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less
costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in
determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of
useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated
to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the asset's revised
life.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET
The Company had a federal net operating loss carry-forward of $7,795,000
available for income tax purposes as of January 31, 2016, which will expire in
various tax years from fiscal year 2022 through fiscal year 2030. The Company
evaluates whether a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is
required each reporting period. A valuation allowance would be established if,
based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The Company's
deferred tax asset amount was $2,184,000 and $2,210,000 as of January 31, 2016
and October 31, 2015, respectively,and it was determined that it is more likely
than not that the net operating loss carry-forward would be used. As of October
31, 2015, the Company had a federal net operating loss carry-forward of
$7,847,000 available for income tax purposes, which will expire in various tax
years from fiscal year 2022 through fiscal year 2030.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue includes amounts attributable to advances received or invoices
sent on customer agreements, which are contractually required and are
non-refundable, and may be prepaid either annually, quarterly, or monthly.
Revenues from such customer agreements are recognized as income ratably over the
period that coincides with the respective agreement.
The Company recognizes initial set-up fee revenues and associated costs on a
straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period,
typically five years.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The recorded amounts of the Company's cash, receivables, accounts payable, and
accrued liabilities approximate their fair values principally because of the
short-term nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not
practicable to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company's related
party debt is held by its Chairman and significant shareholder, and the Company
does not have any third-party debt with which to compare.
Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when
analyzing asset impairments. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present, and the review
indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on the
undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value.
Page 9 of 19
NET INCOME PER SHARE INFORMATION
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic
earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable
upon exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method in periods in
which they have a dilutive effect. The Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan
allows for a cashless exercise. Shares used to calculate net income per share
are as follows:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JANUARY 31,
2016 2015
------------ ------------
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 7,660,590 7,654,928
Effect of dilutive stock options 75,698 170,892
------------ ------------
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 7,736,288 7,825,820
============ ============
Weighted average shares that are not included in 1,117,802 632,608
the calculation of diluted net income per share
because their impact is anti-dilutive. These
shares consist of stock options.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company follows FASB ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", which
requires the measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair
value on date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over
the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options
was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is
recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures.
Stock-based compensation expense was $57,000 and $29,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and was primarily included in
selling, general, and administrative expenses.
3. NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
The Company has a note payable to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company's
significant shareholder and Chairman, of $3,500,000(the "Second Replacement
Note") as of January 31, 2016. The Second Replacement Note bears a maturity date
of November 1, 2017, with an annual interest rate of 6%. Interest payments are
due by October 31 of each fiscal year. The Company has paid all interest
incurred on the Second Replacement Note through January 31, 2016. In February of
2016 the Company paid $600,000 of principal of the Second Replacement Note to
G.S. Beckwith Gilbert.
The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet operating and
investment requirements through March 3, 2017.

on the Company's business. Additional uncertainties include, without limitation,
uncertainties relating to: (1) the Company's ability to find and maintain the
personnel necessary to sell, manufacture, and service its products; (2) its
ability to adequately protect its intellectual property; and (3) its ability to
secure future financing. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company provides data aggregation and consolidation, information, decision
support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional
services to airlines, airports, governments, and business aviation companies. To
enable this unique offering, PASSUR owns and operates the largest commercial
passive radar network in the world that updates flight tracks every 1 to 4.6
seconds, powering a proprietary database that is accessible in real-time and
delivers timely, accurate information and solutions via PASSUR's
industry-leading algorithms and business logic included in its products.
PASSUR's solutions are used by the five largest North American airlines, over 60
airport customers (including 22 of the top 30 North American airports as
customers - with PASSUR solutions also used at the remaining top eight airports
by one or more airline customers), more than 200 corporate aviation customers,
and the U.S. government.
Our core business addresses some of aviation's most intractable and costly
operational and financial challenges, including under utilization of airspace
and airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions. Several studies
have estimated the annual direct costs to the system of such inefficiencies at
over $30 billion.
Solutions offered by PASSUR help to ensure flight completion. They cover the
entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, and result in reductions in overall
costs and emissions, while maximizing revenue opportunities, improving
operational efficiency, and enhancing the passenger experience.
The Company's business plan is to continue to focus on increasing
subscription-based revenues from its suite of software applications, and to
develop new applications and professional services designed to address the needs
of the aviation industry and the U.S. government. The Company's goal is to help
solve problems faced by its customers and is built on the following product
development objectives: (1) continue developing decision support solutions built
on business intelligence, predictive analytics, and web-dashboard technology;
(2) continue integrating multiple additional industry data sets into its
integrated aviation database, including data from a variety of additional
aircraft, airspace, and ground surveillance technologies, in order to ensure
that PASSUR is the primary choice for data integration and management for large
aviation organizations; (3) continue extending the reach of the PASSUR Network,
which provides the proprietary backbone for many of the Company's solutions; and
(4) continue developing the Company's professional service capabilities, in
order to ensure that its solutions can be fully implemented in its customers'
work environments, with minimal demand on customers' internal resources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Management concentrates its efforts on the sale of business intelligence,
predictive analytics, and decision support product applications, utilizing data
primarily derived from the PASSUR Network. Such efforts include the continued
development of new products, professional services, and existing product
enhancements.
Revenues increased $671,000, or 24%, to $3,435,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015. Customer
subscriptions to the Company's suite of software applications and services
increased compared to the prior year period by $555,000, or 20%, for the three
months ended January 31, 2016. The Company had consulting and license revenue of
$118,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to none in the
same period in fiscal 2015. The Company continues to develop and deploy new
software applications and solutions, as well as a wide selection of products
which address customers' needs, easily delivered through web-based applications,
as well as other new products which include stand-alone professional services.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of
direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR and Surface Multilateration
("SMLAT")Network Systems, amortization of capitalized software development
costs, communication costs, data feeds, allocated overhead costs, travel and
entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs
associated with upgrades to PASSUR and SMLAT Systems necessary to make such
systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary
repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR and SMLAT Systems. Additionally, cost
of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR
and SMLAT System units added to the Network, which includes the production,
shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR
Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development and data
center projects. Both of these are referred to as "Capitalized Assets", and are
depreciated and/or amortized over their respective useful lives and charged to
cost of revenues. The Company does not break down its costs by product.
When the Company uses its employees to manufacture PASSUR and SMLAT Systems,
build capital assets, and ship and install PASSUR and SMLAT Systems in the
field, or for software development, there is a reduction in cost of revenues due
to the fact that the labor-related costs for these systems are capitalized,
rather than expensed in the period.
Cost of revenues increased $398,000, or 36%, to $1,512,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015.
In the current three month period compared to the same period in the prior year,
the increase in cost of revenues primarily resulted from lower capitalized costs
of $122,000 due to a decrease in the number of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems
manufactured, shipped, and installed in the field, higher amortization of
$108,000, higher compensation related costs of $92,000,and an increase in
consulting costs of $78,000.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development efforts include activities associated
with new product development, as well as the enhancement and improvement of the
Company's existing software and information products. Research and development
expenses were consistent for the three months ended January 31, 2016, as
compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in research and
development to develop, maintain, and support existing and newly developed
applications for its customers.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $452,000, or 38%, for
the three months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in
fiscal year 2015. The increase in the current three month period compared to the
same period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in compensation
and related costs of $436,000, primarily due to an increase in headcount.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations decreased $179,000, or 63%,for the three months ended
January 31, 2016, to $106,000 as compared to the same period in fiscal year
2015. This decrease in the three months ended January 31, 2016, was largely due
to an increase in total costs and expenses of $850,000, or 34%, partially offset
by an increase in revenue of $671,000, or 24%, as compared to the same period in
fiscal year 2015.
INTEREST EXPENSE - RELATED PARTY
Interest expense - related party decreased $6,000, or 9%, for the three months
ended January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015, due
to the lower principal balance on the note.
NET INCOME
The Company had net income of $25,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three
months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to net income of $141,000, or $0.02
per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal year 2015.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,701,000 as
of January 31, 2016. The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert,
the Company's significant shareholder and Chairman, was $3,500,000 as of January
31, 2016, with a maturity of November 1, 2017. In February of 2016 the Company
paid $600,000 of principal of the Second Replacement Note to G.S. Beckwith
Gilbert.
The Company's stockholders' equity was $11,565,000 as of January 31, 2016. The
Company had net income of $25,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016.
Management is addressing the Company's working capital deficiency by
aggressively marketing the Company's PASSUR and SMLAT Network Systems
information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines,
as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually
being developed and deployed.
Since the PASSURs and SMLATS manufactured by PASSUR are not sold, but used by
the Company in its wholly-owned networks, PASSUR's inventory of parts, work in
process, and finished goods (not yet installed in the networks) located at its
plant of $1,785,000 is not included in Total current assets, but rather is
included in the PASSUR Network, net, a long term asset.
Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and
professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation
industry, through the continued development of new product and service
offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company's
customer-base and subscription-based revenues.
If the Company's business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to meet the Company's operating cash requirements, the Company will
attempt to obtain external financing on commercially reasonable terms. The
Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet operating and investment
requirements through March 3, 2017.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $362,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2016, and consisted of $25,000 of net income, depreciation and
amortization of $786,000, and stock-based compensation expense of $57,000, with
the balance offset by a decrease in operating assets and an increase in
operating liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $904,000 for
the three months ended January 31, 2016, which was expended for capitalized
software development costs, additions to the PASSUR Network, and additional
servers at our redundant server center in Orlando, Florida. Net cash provided by
financing was $74,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016, which
consisted of an equipment lease for computer servers in Orlando, Florida and the
exercise of stock options of $10,000.
The Company actively monitors the costs associated with supporting the business,
and continually seeks to identify and reduce any unnecessary costs as part of
its cost reduction initiatives. Additionally, the aviation market has been
impacted by budgetary constraints, airline bankruptcies and consolidations,
current economic conditions, the continued war on terrorism, and fluctuations in
fuel costs. The aviation market is extensively regulated by government agencies,
particularly the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, and
Page 13 of 19
management anticipates that new regulations relating to air travel may continue
to be issued. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from
airlines, airports, and organizations that serve, or are served by, the aviation
industry. Any new regulations or changes in the economic situation of the
aviation industry could have an impact on the future operations of the Company,
either positively or negatively.
Interest by potential customers in the information and decision support software
products obtained from PASSUR Network Systems and its professional services
remains strong. As a result, the Company anticipates an increase in future
revenues. However, the Company cannot predict if such revenues will materialize.
If revenues do not increase, losses may occur. The extent of such profits or
losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved and Company cost reduction
initiatives.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
GENERAL
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities based upon accounting policies management
has implemented. These significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1
to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2015, and there have been no material changes to such policies since the
filing of such Annual Report. These policies and estimates are critical to the
Company's business operations and the understanding of its results of
operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the
Company's business operations are discussed throughout Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, as such
policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these
factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue
from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606" ("ASU 2014-09"), to supersede nearly
all-existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of
ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are
transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is
expected to be received for those goods or services, ASU 2014-09 defines a five
step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible
more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition
process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance
obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to
include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each
separate performance obligation. We are currently evaluating the impact of our
pending adoption of ASC 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance
Sheet Classification of Deferred Assets. This ASU is intended to simplify the
presentation of deferred taxes on the balance sheet and will require an entity
to present all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as non-current
on the balance sheet. Under the current guidance, entities are required to
separately present deferred taxes as current or non-current. Netting deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by tax jurisdiction will still be
required under the new guidance. This guidance will be effective beginning in
2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this new
accounting standard update will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02,
which amends the ASC and creates Topic 842, Leases. Topic 842 will require
lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases
classified as operating leases under previous US GAAP on the balance sheet. This
guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and
early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe this new accounting
standard update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance,
that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on their evaluation as
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and
procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of January 31,
2016.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) within the fiscal quarter to which this report relates, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
