Drone Aviation Holding Corp.

Notes to Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For the Period Ended March 31, 2017

  

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Drone Aviation Holding Corp. has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (“LTAS”) and Drone AFS Corp. (“AFS”). Drone Aviation Holding Corp. was incorporated in Nevada on April 17, 2014 and effective April 30, 2014, merged with another company to consolidate our operations into an entity incorporated in Nevada. On June 3, 2014, we acquired Drone Aviation Corp. through a share exchange transaction, and on March 26, 2015, Drone Aviation Corp. merged with and into us. As a result of the share exchange and merger with Drone Aviation Corp., we acquired Drone Aviation Corp.’s subsidiary, LTAS. AFS became our subsidiary upon its formation on July 9, 2015. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company,” “Drone Aviation” and “DAC” as used in this Quarterly Report refer to Drone Aviation Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements. Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Uses and Sources of Liquidity

 

At March 31, 2017, the Company had cash of $1,454,482, a working capital deficit of $499,603, and an accumulated deficit of $20,796,179. Furthermore, the Company has a history of negative cash flow from operations, primarily due to heavy investment in research and development and costs associated with maintaining a public entity. In October 2016, the company issued $3,000,000 in Convertible Notes Payable with a maturity date of October, 2017. As further discussed in Note 6 – Related Party Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Liability, the Company does not currently have the cash resources to repay the notes. Since the maturity date is less than twelve months from the date of this report, the debt is classified as short-term and therefore affects the working capital calculation. Management anticipates that the notes will either be extended until April 1, 2019 or converted to common stock prior to maturity which will alleviate the going concern issue and will mitigate the issue of substantial doubt.

 

The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. In addition, the Company may wish to selectively pursue possible acquisitions of businesses, technologies, or products complementary to those of the Company in the future in order to expand its presence in the marketplace and achieve operating efficiencies. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through a bank credit facility or private equity. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company accounts for related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 (“Related Party Disclosures”). A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was $91,233 and $46,849 accrued interest payable, respectively, to related parties on convertible notes payable.

3. INVENTORY

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out method. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with our supplies, and the estimated utility of our inventory. If the review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, we reduce our inventory to a new cost basis through a charge to cost of goods sold. Allowance for slow moving items increased $6,366 due to a type of aerostat material which was custom ordered. Inventory consists of the following at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: 

  

     March 31,
2017
   December 31,
2016
 
  Raw Materials  $52,935   $48,014 
  Work in Progress   165,587    254,258 
  Finished Goods   273,982    160,819 
  Less valuation allowance   (9,572)   (3,206)
  Total  $482,932   $459,885 

   

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost when acquired.  Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 3-7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, hardware and software and leasehold improvements.   During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company invested $675 in shop machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense was $8,772 and $8,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Property and equipment consists of the following at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

     March 31,
2017
   December 31,
2016
 
  Shop machinery and equipment  $87,704   $87,029 
  Computers and electronics   35,270    35,270 
  Office furniture and fixtures   37,814    37,814 
  Leasehold improvements   19,514    19,514 
      180,302    179,627 
  Less - accumulated depreciation   (69,556)   (60,784)
     $110,746   $118,843 

 

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

On July 20, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Drone AFS Corp., purchased substantially all the assets of Adaptive Flight, Inc. (“AFI”), a Georgia corporation. The Company purchased assets, including, but not limited to, intellectual property, licenses and permits, including commercial software licenses for the “GUST” (Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool) autopilot system and other transferable licenses which include flight simulation and fault tolerant flight control algorithms. The Company paid $100,000 in cash at closing and $100,000 was held in escrow. In addition, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its unregistered common stock valued at $8.40 per share on the date of agreement that was held in escrow.

 

 F-5 

 

 

The Company had a milestone of twelve months to complete a technology integration plan, the non-completion of which could result in the return of the purchased assets and termination of the Company’s obligations to release the escrow cash and shares. Additional milestones included exclusive, no-cost and perpetual licenses to all contributing intellectual property included or related to the purchased assets. As such time as all milestones were met, one-half of the escrow shares were to be released to AFI. Upon termination of the escrow agreement, anticipated to be twelve months from the closing of the asset purchase, if all milestones had been met, the remaining escrow shares would be released to AFI; but if all milestones have not been met, the escrow cash and escrow shares would be released to the Company and the purchased assets would be returned to AFI. According to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if the escrow share value was less than $1,400,000, the Company must issue an additional number of unregistered shares, not to exceed 50,000 shares. At December 31, 2015, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.23 per share, or $484,500. The Company recorded $161,500 as an additional liability and expense at December 31, 2015 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.23 per share. On June 3, 2016, the Integration Plan was deemed to be completed and subsequently, the Company released the cash and stock. At June 3, 2016, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.01 per share, or $451,150. The additional liability was reduced to $150,500 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.01 per share. The Company recorded the $11,000 reduction in the additional liability through the statement of operations at June 3, 2016. The Company began amortizing the $1,460,000 of purchased assets over a sixty month period on June 3, 2016 in the amount of $24,333 per month. Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $73,000. The remaining unamortized balance of $1,216,667 is estimated be amortized in the estimated amounts of $292,000 per year for 2017 through 2020 and $121,667 in 2021.

 

The asset acquisition did not qualify as a business combination under ASC 805-10 and has been accounted for as a regular asset purchase. 

 

6. RELATED PARTY CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

On September 29, 2016, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes Series 2016 due October 1, 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 in a private placement to the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board of the Company, both of whom are greater than 10% shareholders of the Company. The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The Company may prepay the notes at any time without penalty. If the Company does not prepay a note in full or the holder does not convert the note before the maturity date, the Company may pay the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the maturity date with cash or with common stock or through a combination of cash and stock at the Company’s discretion. The conversion price of the notes is the lesser of $3.00 per share or eight-five percent (85%) of the lowest per share purchase price of common stock in the next sale of common stock in which the Company receives gross proceeds of an amount greater than or equal to $3,000,000. 

 

The Company does not currently have the liquid funds necessary to repay these notes at maturity; however, management believes it is probable that the notes will be refinanced or converted to equity prior to maturity.

 

Under ASC 815, these notes require liability classification and must be measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

 

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

     Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
  LIABILITIES:                    
  Derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2017  $0   $0   $1,078,215   $1,078,215 
  Derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016  $0   $0   $1,832,013   $1,832,013 

 

 F-6 

 

 

The following table represents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016:

 

  Fair value of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2015  $0 
  Fair value of derivative liability at December 31, 2016 recorded as debt discount   2,394,974 
  Change in fair value of derivative liabilities   (562,961)
  Fair value of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016  $1,832,013 
  Change in fair value of derivative liabilities   (753,798)
   Fair value of derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2017  $1,078,215 

 

The amortization of the debt discount is $436,962 and $302,818 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The $3,000,000 payable associated with the Convertible Promissory Notes Series 2016 due October 1, 2017 is $1,344,806 as of March 31, 2017, net of a $1,655,194 debt discount which is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

 

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

In September 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,349,000 shares of restricted common stock outside of the 2015 Equity Plan to Jay Nussbaum, Felicia Hess, Daniyel Erdberg, Kendall Carpenter, Mike Silverman and Reginald Brown pursuant to Stock Award Agreements. The shares will vest upon consummation of a significant equity and/or debt financing of at least $5,000,000 provided that the holder remains engaged by the Company through the vesting date. Stock based compensation of $485,862 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

In May 2016, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock with monthly vesting provisions to Strategic Advisory Board members, Dr. Philip Frost and Steven Rubin, for 12 months of services. The advisors can earn a pro rata portion of the shares, calculated based on the twelve-month vesting period, in the event the service agreements are terminated prior to the expiration date as described in the agreements. The Company recognized a total of $25,375 expense for the pro rata portion of shares earned by the two members during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

On September 4, 2015, the Company issued 450,000 shares of restricted common stock to four management employees and one director pursuant to stock award agreements. The shares vested on February 4, 2016. Stock based compensation of $604,440 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

On June 1, 2015, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock with monthly vesting provisions to the Chairman of the Board for twenty-four month’s services pursuant to a Director Agreement. The Chairman can earn a pro rata portion of the shares, calculated on a twenty-four month vesting period, in the event the Chairman relinquishes his position and Board seat prior to the expiration date of the Director Agreement. The Company recognized a total of $67,500 expense for the portion of such shares earned by the Chairman during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no issuances of common stock.

 

8. PREFERRED STOCK

 

All of the preferred stock of the Company is convertible into common shares. The Series A stock conversion ratio is 1 to 2.5 common shares. All preferred stock has voting rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis subject to any ownership limitations governing such preferred shares. All preferred stock is entitled to dividends rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis. None of the preferred stock is redeemable, participating nor callable. As of March 31, 2017, there were 100,100 shares of the Series A stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Company analyzed the embedded conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option should be classified as equity.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no issuances or conversions of preferred stock.

 

9. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

 

On June 1, 2015, the Company issued an option award to an employee for 37,500 shares vesting over three years with an exercise price of $10.80 and expiration date of May 4, 2019. Compensation expense of $20,916 and $43,952 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 F-7 

 

 

On January 9, 2017, the Company issued an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.90 per share to a director. The option vests 50,000 after one year from grant date and another 50,000 two years from grant date with an expiration date of four years from grant date provided that the Director is still providing service to the Company.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value on the date of grant of the 100,000 options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the 100,000 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 on the date of grant.

 

     2017 
       
  Expected dividend yield   0%
  Expected volatility   100%
  Risk-free interest rate   1.50%
  Expected life of options   2.50-3.00 years 

 

Under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the fair value of the 100,000 options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is estimated at $174,173 on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, $32,265 compensation expense was recognized on these 100,000 options.

 

During 2016, the Company granted 65,000 common stock options to employees for service provided. Of these, 50,000 options were granted to two employees and were immediately vested with an exercise price of $2.91 and the expiration date is April 27, 2019. One of these employees terminated and did not exercise her 10,000 options resulting in the expiration of the option. Another 5,000 options were immediately vested and were granted with an exercise price of $3.77 and the expiration date is July 29, 2019. Another employee received 10,000 options with two-year vesting and an exercise price of $3.00 and an expiration date of December 6, 2019. The employee who received 5,000 options in July 2016 was terminated and did not exercise his options resulting in the expiration of a total of 5,000 options.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value on the date of grant of the 10,000 stock-based awards that continue to vest during the three months ended March 31, 2017. 

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the 10,000 outstanding stock options granted during 2016 on the date of grant:

 

     2016 
       
  Expected dividend yield   0%
  Expected volatility   102%
  Risk-free interest rate   1.24-1.38%
  Expected life of options   2.00-2.50  years 

 

Under the Black-Scholes option price model, fair value of the 10,000 outstanding options granted during 2016 is estimated at $16,889 on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, $3,118 compensation expense was recognized on these 10,000 options.

10. WARRANTS

 

The Company did not issue any warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

For the year 2016, 60,000 common stock purchase warrants were granted to four consultants for services provided. Each warrant was granted with the exercise price of $2.91, which immediately vested, and the expiration date is April 27, 2019.

 

During 2016, 10,472 warrants expired that were issued in 2011 with exercise prices ranging between $141.00 and $404.50 on a post-reverse split basis.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model to estimate the fair value on the re-measurement dates of the 12,500 warrants that continue to vest during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the 12,500 warrants granted during 2015 as of re-measurement dates:

 

     2017 
       
  Expected dividend yield   0%
  Expected volatility   97%
  Risk-free interest rate   0.73%
  Expected life of warrants   1.25 years 


 

Under the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model, fair value of the 12,500 warrants granted during 2015 is estimated at $3,467 as of re-measurement dates. Compensation expense of $(1,427) and $1,325 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On May 16, 2016, Banco Popular North America (“Banco”) filed a lawsuit in Duval County, Florida in the Circuit Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit against Aerial Products Corporation d/b/a Southern Balloon Works (“Aerial Products”), Kevin M. Hess, LTAS, and the Company to collect on a delinquent Small Business Administration loan that Banco made in 2007 to Aerial Products with Mr. Hess as the personal guarantor. LTAS and the Company filed an Answer on June 30, 2016 and Responses to Interrogatories on December 16, 2016 and we are now in the discovery phase of litigation. It is our position that neither LTAS nor the Company are continuations of Aerial Products, and LTAS and the Company have denied all allegations made by Banco and is vigorously defending itself. The Company has evaluated the probability of loss as possible but the range of loss is unable to be estimated.

 

Other than the Banco matter, there are no material claims, actions, suits, proceedings inquiries, labor disputes or investigations pending.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 24, 2017, the holder of Series A preferred stock converted a total of 100,100 shares of Series A for an aggregate of 250,250 shares of restricted common stock in accordance with their conversion rights which includes a restriction on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be beneficially owned by the holders.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  

Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and developments beyond our control or foresight, including changes in the trends of the advanced aerostats and tethered drone industry, formation of competitors, changes in governmental regulation or taxation, changes in our personnel and other such factors.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.  Readers should carefully review the risk factors and related notes included under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2017.

 

The following MD&A is intended to help readers understand the results of our operations and financial condition and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Growth and percentage comparisons made herein generally refer to the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2016 unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and similar expressions refer to Drone Aviation Holding Corp. and, depending on the context, its subsidiaries.

 

Business Overview

 

We design, develop, market and sell lighter-than-air (“LTA”) advanced aerostats, tethered drones, and land-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) solutions. We focus on the development of a tethered aerostat known as the Winch Aerostat Small Platform (“WASP”), as well as tethered drone products, including the WATT and BOLT electric tethered drones launched on March 2, 2015 and July 13, 2016, respectively. The WATT and BOLT products are designed for commercial and military applications and provide secure and reliable aerial monitoring for extended durations while being tethered to the ground via a high strength armored tether. 

 

Recent Transactions and Events

 

  On January 9, 2017, we appointed David V. Aguilar, former Deputy Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to our Board of Directors.

 

  On March 1, 2017, we announced the successful integration of government-furnished ISR equipment supporting the simultaneous use of communications and optical payload packages onto an enhanced WASP aerostat for the Department of Defense.

 

In addition to our plans to organically grow our LTAS business through increased marketing and sales, we intend to continue to consider potential strategic transactions, which could involve acquisitions of businesses or assets, joint ventures or investments in businesses, products or technologies that expand, complement or otherwise relate to our current or future business.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Revenues:  Revenues of $367,653 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 decreased $75,797 or 17% from $443,450 for the same period in 2016. Sources of revenue were derived primarily from aerostat products, refurbishments and accessories ordered in 2016 and delivered in 2017. The reason for the decrease is that revenues in the first quarter of 2017 were primarily related to refurbishments and enhancements of aerostat systems and the revenues in the first quarter of 2016 were primarily from the sale of an aerostat system.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit:  Cost of goods sold of $243,530 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 increased $109,644 or 81.9% from $133,886 for the same period in 2016. Costs in both periods included materials, parts and labor associated with the sale of aerostat products, refurbishments and accessories. The aerostat system delivered in the first quarter of 2016 had a 73% gross profit margin which was greater than the gross profit realized in the first quarter of 2017 on aerostat system refurbishments due to the increased time and material costs to disassemble and reassemble refurbished systems. The $124,123 gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was a decrease of $185,441 or 59.9% from the $309,564 in gross profit for the same quarter of 2016.  Gross profit margins were 34% and 70% for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

 

General and Administrative Expense:  General and administrative expense primarily consists of payroll and related costs, sales and marketing costs, research and development costs, business overhead and costs related to maintaining a public entity.  General and administrative expenses decreased $29,971 or 1.9% to $1,519,969 in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from $1,549,940 for the same period in 2016. Contributing to the decrease was non-cash stock-based compensation of $633,609 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $83,608 from $717,217 in the same period in 2016. Research and development costs decreased $136,632 due to drone products becoming ready for market, partially offset by an amortization expense increase of $73,000 related to assets acquired from AFI in 2015 and fully integrated in 2016, and an increase in payroll of $35,053.

 

Loss from Operations:  Loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 increased $155,470 or 12.5% to $1,395,846 from loss from operations of $1,240,376 for the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit of $185,441 partially offset by a decrease of general and administrative expense of $29,971 as discussed above.

 

Other Income and Expense:  Total other income of $272,452 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $272,592 greater than the total other expense of $140 in 2016.  This increase was primarily due to $753,798 non-cash income due to a change in fair value of derivative liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $44,384 in accrued interest expense on the related party convertible notes payable and $436,962 debt discount charged to interest expense. The Company will continue to incur interest expense in 2017 on the related party convertible notes payable and will continue to record derivative gains or losses related to those notes until they are repaid or converted.

 

Net Loss: Net loss decreased $117,122 or 9.4% to $1,123,394 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from net loss of $1,240,516 for the same period in 2016.  The decrease in net loss was due to factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $1,454,482 in cash compared to $2,015,214 in cash at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $560,732. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable of $157,850 compared to $394,000 at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $236,150 resulting from increased collections in the first three months of 2017.

 

The Company had total current assets of $2,185,637 and total current liabilities of $2,685,240, or working capital deficit of $499,603 at March 31, 2017 compared to total current assets of $2,989,713 and total current liabilities of $3,080,628, or working capital deficit of $90,915 at December 31, 2016.

 

We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues and sales of equity and convertible debt securities. Although as of March 31, 2017 we have cash of $1,454,482, we have a working capital deficit of $499,603 and incurred a net loss from operations of $1,395,846. Furthermore, the Company has a history of negative cash flow from operations, primarily due to historically heavy investment in research and development and costs associated with maintaining a public entity. While we expect a substantial reduction in research and development costs, we believe our existing working capital and access to capital are sufficient to continue our operations for the next 12 months. This assumes, among other things, that our principal amount $3,000,000 convertible notes payable held by related parties are refinanced or converted to common stock upon maturity in October 2017. We can, however, give no assurances regarding our future liquidity as we may incur significant expenses in implementing our growth plan, and we could deplete our cash and working capital more rapidly than expected, which could result in our need to raise additional working capital through the sale of equity securities or debt financing or enter into a strategic arrangement with other third parties.

Net cash used in investing activities was $675 and $5,641 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which in each case was related to purchase of shop machines and equipment, computers and electronics and furniture and equipment.

 

Financing Activities:

 

There was no cash provided by financing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that materially effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2017. As disclosed therein, the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:

 

Accounts receivable-trade consists of amounts due from the sale of tethered aerostats, accessories, spare parts, and customization and refurbishment of aerostats. Such accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, none of the Company’s accounts receivable-trade was deemed uncollectible.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue:

 

The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered; 3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. We record unearned revenue as a liability and the associated costs of sales as work in process inventory. There is a balance of $157,850 in accounts receivable at March 31, 2017 for sales on account and no balance in unearned revenue.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments:

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model, in accordance with ASC 815-15 “Derivative and Hedging” to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

  

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

   

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

  

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017 for the reasons discussed below. In addition, management identified the following material weaknesses in its assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017:

 

The Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the determination that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as of March 31, 2017, and that there was a material weakness as identified in this Quarterly Report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered hereby in all material respects.

 

 We expect to be dependent upon our Chief Financial Officer who is knowledgeable and experienced in the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to maintain our disclosure controls and procedures and the preparation of our financial statements for the foreseeable future. We plan on increasing the size of our accounting staff at the appropriate time for our business and its size to ameliorate our auditor’s concern that we do not effectively segregate certain accounting duties, which we believe would resolve the material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures, but there can be no assurances as to the timing of any such action or that we will be able to do so. 

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as discussed below, we are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

 

Banco Popular North America. v Aerial Products Corporation d/b/a Southern Balloon Works, et al. (Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, Duval County Florida-Civil Division) Case No. 16:2016:CA-003343

 

On May 16, 2016, Banco Popular North America (“Banco”) filed a lawsuit in Duval County, Florida in the Circuit Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit against Aerial Products Corporation d/b/a Southern Balloon Works (“Aerial Products”), Kevin M. Hess, LTAS, and the Company to collect on a delinquent Small Business Administration loan that Banco made in 2007 to Aerial Products with Mr. Hess as the personal guarantor. LTAS and the Company filed an Answer on June 30, 2016 and Responses to Interrogatories on December 16, 2016 and we are now in the discovery phase of litigation. It is our position that neither LTAS nor the Company are continuations of Aerial Products, and LTAS and the Company has denied all allegations made by Banco and is vigorously defending itself. The Company has evaluated the probability of loss as possible but the range of loss is unable to be estimated.

 

Other than the Banco matter, there are no material claims, actions, suits, proceedings inquiries, labor disputes or investigations pending.
