Note 1 – Description of Business

 

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (“AgEagle,” “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our”) produces, supports and operates technologically advanced drone systems and solutions for the fast-emerging unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry. We are engaged in delivering the metrics, tools and strategies necessary to invent and implement drone-enabled solutions that solve important problems for our valued customers. With our founding premise rooted in high performance, next-level thinking, and technological innovation, AgEagle is intent on ensuring that new standards for quality U.S. manufacturing and the provision of precision-crafted, purpose-built drone systems and solutions are delivered to empower our customers to thrive and prosper in The Drone Age.™

 

Founded in 2010, AgEagle was originally formed to pioneer proprietary, professional-grade, fixed-wing drones and aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions for the agriculture industry. In addition to selling our innovative drones to the precision and sustainable farming markets, AgEagle’s innovative data collection and analytics solution, FarmLens™, has processed more than two million acres of crops, analyzing data that seeks to adopt and support productive agricultural approaches to improve farming practices which currently limit the impact on our natural resources, reduce reliance on inputs and materially increase crop yields and profits.

 

In the first half of 2019, the Company introduced HempOverview, a scalable, responsive and cost-effective Software-as-a-Solution (“SaaS”) web- and map-based technology platform to support the operations of domestic industrial hemp programs for state and tribal nation departments of agriculture – a solution that provides users with what the Company believes is the gold standard for regulatory oversight, operational assistance and reporting capabilities for the fast emerging industrial hemp industry.

 

In January 2021, AgEagle acquired MicaSense, Inc. (“MicaSense”), a California company. Based in Seattle, Washington, MicaSense has been at the forefront of advanced drone sensor development since its founding in 2014, having formed integration partnerships with several leading fixed wing and multicopter drone manufacturers, including DraganFly™, senseFly™, Quantum-Systems and Wingtra, among others. MicaSense’s patented, high precision thermal and multispectral sensors serve the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture market. MicaSense’s high performance proprietary products, including Altum™, RedEdge-MX™, RedEdge-MX Blue and Atlas Flight, have global distribution in 70 countries.

 

Over the past decade, the broader drone market has continued to evolve and expand. As a result, economic and productivity benefits made possible by drones is fueling global demand for high quality, safe and reliable drone systems and solutions for commercial applications well beyond agriculture. In response, AgEagle is now leveraging our technological expertise and drone engineering and manufacturing experience to penetrate new, high growth market sectors; namely, drone package delivery, public safety/security, large venue decontamination and infrastructure/inspection, among other high growth market opportunities.

 

AgEagle’s key growth objectives are centered on three primary areas of focus:

 

 

	1)	Ag Solutions: Leveraging our reputation as one of the leading technology solutions providers to the agriculture industry to increase market share through delivery of best-in-class drones, sensors and data analytics for hemp and other commercial crops;
	2)	Sensor Solutions: Establishing AgEagle as the world’s preferred source for advanced, proprietary, multispectral drone sensors serving the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture and broader drone markets; and
	3)	Drone Solutions and Manufacturing: Establishing the Company as one of the industry’s leading American-made trusted source for turnkey, end-to-end, tailored drone solutions to the world along with drone design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing company in the United States.

Note 1 – Description of Business – Continued

 

We intend to grow our business by preserving a leadership position in our core Ag Solutions business; providing quality contract manufacturing, assembly, and testing services; and innovating new customer centric drone systems and solutions to capture significant share of the broader commercial drone market. In addition, we expect to accelerate our growth and expansion through strategic acquisitions of drone-related companies offering distinct technological and competitive advantages and have defensible IP protection in place, if applicable.

 

The Company is headquartered in Wichita, Kansas.

 

Corporate History; Recent Acquisition

 

On March 26, 2018, our predecessor company, EnerJex Resources, Inc. (“EnerJex”), a Nevada company, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 19, 2017, pursuant to which AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex, merged with and into AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc., a privately held company organized under the laws of the state of Nevada (“AgEagle Sub”), with AgEagle Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, EnerJex changed its name to AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company, “we,” “our,” or “us”) and AgEagle Sub changed its name initially to “Eagle Aerial, Inc. and then to” AgEagle Aerial, Inc. Prior to this merger all of the EnerJex operations were conducted through EnerJex Kansas, Inc., Black Sable Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Black Sable”) and Black Raven Energy, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Black Raven”). Its leasehold interests were held in its wholly owned subsidiaries Black Sable, Working Interest, LLC, EnerJex Kansas and Black Raven. Black Sable, Black Raven and Working Interest, LLC were all dissolved as of the end of 2020.

 

On January 26, 2021, the Company and AgEagle Sensor Systems, Inc. (“AgEagle Sensor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed in Nevada, entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire MicaSense. Per the agreement, the Company and AgEagle Sensor would purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding MicaSense stock. On January 27, 2021, the purchase, was completed and MicaSense joined the group as a wholly owned subsidiary of AgEagle Sensor. The Company is currently in the process of merging MicaSense and AgEagle Sensor. Upon completion of the merger, the surviving company will be MicaSense, Inc., a Nevada company.

 

 Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 Basis of Presentation and Consolidation – These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries AgEagle Aerial, Inc., AgEagle Sensors, Inc., MicaSense, Inc. and EnerJex Kansas, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

(Unaudited)

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the reserve for obsolete inventory, valuation of stock issued for services and stock options, valuation of intangible assets and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

 

The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

●	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●	Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

We have no assets or liabilities that require to have their fair value measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of impairment.

 

For short-term classes of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable, and which are not reported at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Additionally, the Note payable is carried at face value, which approximates fair value, due to the government backed security which requires payments however management is expecting to apply for and receive full forgiveness during 2021 (See Note 8).

 

Concentrations – The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company’s bank balances at times may exceed the FDIC limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash.

 

As of March 31, 2021, there was one significant vendor that the Company relied upon to perform stitching its FarmLens and Atlas platforms. This vendor provides services to the Company which can be replaced by alternative vendors should the need arise.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy – Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. The Company generally does not charge interest on overdue customer account balances. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $380,419 and $50,038, respectively.

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The Company determined that no allowance was necessary as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

 Inventories – Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. The Company’s sensor equipment is manufactured by a third-party organization. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded a provision for obsolescence of $10,000.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

 

Intangible assets from acquired businesses are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and consist of customer programs, trademarks, customer relationships, technology, and other intangible assets. Customer programs include values assigned to major programs of acquired businesses and represent the aggregate value associated with the customer relationships, contracts, technology and trademarks underlying the associated program and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of expected cash flows used to measure fair value, which ranges from four to ten years.

 

Business Combinations – The Company recognizes, with certain exceptions, 100% of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity. Shares issued in consideration for a business combination, contingent consideration arrangements and pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies are all measured and recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are generally reflected in earnings. Any in-process research and development assets acquired are capitalized as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred. The operating results of entities acquired are included in the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

 

Revenue Recognition and Concentration – The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated primarily by three segments of the business; 1) the sale of sensors and cameras along with the related accessories, 2) contractual agreements to develop, manufacture and/or modify complex drone related products, and to provide associated engineering, technical and other services according to customer specifications and 3) Software-as-a-Solution (“SAAS) subscription sales. All contracts and agreements are a fixed price and are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

 

The Company generally recognizes revenue on sales to customers, dealers, and distributors upon satisfaction of performance obligations which generally occurs once controls transfer to customers, which is when product is shipped or delivered depending on specific shipping terms and, where applicable, a customer acceptance has been obtained. The fee is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all material contingencies related to the sales have been resolved. The Company records revenue in the statements of operations net of any sales, use, value added, or certain excise taxes imposed by governmental authorities on specific sales transactions and net of any discounts, allowances, and returns.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, it will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. The Company accounts for a contract after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

Additionally, a majority of customers are required to place a deposit or pay upon shipping for each sensor, UAV, or drone delivery assembly part ordered. Customer payments received in advance of the Company completing performance obligations are recorded as contract liabilities. Customer deposits represent customer prepayments and are recognized as revenue when the sale is complete. The balance of customer deposits as of December 31, 2020 was $65,893 and $35,117 as of March 31, 2021.

 

The Company’s FarmLens and Atlas platforms are offered on a subscription basis for processing aerial imaging. These subscription fees are recognized ratably over each monthly membership period as the services are provided.

 

Sales concentration information for customers comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales is summarized as follows:

Customers		2021				2020
Customer A			—	%			95.6	%

 

There were no accounts receivable from Customer A due as of March 31, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020.

Sensors Sales			1,677,349				—
Software Subscription Sales			24,243				17,002
Total		$	1,701,592			$	391,280

 

Shipping Costs – Shipping costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $19,897, and $301, respectively. All shipping costs billed directly to the customer are directly offset to shipping costs resulting in a net expense to the Company which is included in cost of goods sold on the accompanying condensed interim statements of operations.

 

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included as part of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statements of operations. Research and development costs totaled $232,804 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus Common Stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options, and convertible instruments.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

Potentially Dilutive Securities – The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase Common Stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, because all such securities are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had no warrants and 2,359,309 options to purchase Common Stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had 4,531,924 warrants, 2,567,470 options to purchase Common Stock, and 3,312 shares of Series C Preferred Stock which may be converted into 6,133,333 shares of Common Stock.

 

Leases – The Company accounts for its operating leases in accordance with FASB Account Standards Update 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all their leases. Additionally, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

 Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. All income tax returns not filed more than three years ago are subject to federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Awards – The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using a closed option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the requisite service period of the award which is generally the vesting period and the related amount is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations within general and administrative expenses. The Company recognizes forfeitures at the time they occur.

 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

Uncertainty – The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus is impacting worldwide economic activity. COVID-19 poses the risk that we or our employees, CROs, suppliers, manufacturers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 could disrupt our supply chain and the manufacture or shipment of our products, and other related activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have not yet experienced any material disruptions in our business or other negative consequences relating to COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The objective of the standard is to improve areas of U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine the potential impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Notes Receivable

 

On October 14, 2020, in connection with, and as an incentive to the entry into a two-year exclusive manufacturing agreement to produce a patented Drone Delivery Station for Valqari LLC (“Valqari”), The Company, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note pursuant to which the Company has made a loan to Valqari, in the principal aggregate amount of $500,000 (the “Note”), which amount accrues interest at a rate of three percent per annum.

 

The loan matured on April 15, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all outstanding principal and interest that has accrued, but remains, unpaid shall be due. The Note provides for an automatic six month extension of the Maturity Date under the following circumstances (i) Valqari has received in writing, (x) a good faith acquisition offer at a consideration value greater than $15,000,000, (y) such offer, upon consummation, would result in a change in control (as defined in the note) of Valqari, and (z) at such time Valqari, is actively engaged in the negotiation or finalization of such acquisition transaction; or (ii) Valqari has initiated, or is in the process of initiating, a conversion to a “C-Corporation” under the Internal Revenue Code, whereas such conversion will be completed no later than one day prior to the extended Maturity Date. Valqari may not prepay the Note prior to the Maturity Date.

 

 In the event of a change in control or conversion of Valqari to a “C-Corporation” under the Internal Revenue Code on or before the Maturity Date, the Company may convert the outstanding principal amount of the Note and any unpaid accrued interest into (i) Class B Common Units of Valqari: immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control or (ii) upon Valqari’s conversion to a C-corporation, shares of Valqari Common Stock, in both cases at a conversion price no higher than a pre-money valuation of $15,000,000.

 

The Note is subject to customary representations and warranties by Valqari, as well as events of default, which may lead to acceleration of the payment of the Note such as (i) failure to pay all of the outstanding principal, plus accrued interest on the Maturity Date, (ii) Valqari filing a petition or action under any bankruptcy, or other law, or (iii) an involuntary petition is filed again Valqari under any bankruptcy statute (that is not dismissed or discharged within 60 days). The indebtedness evidenced by the Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of any senior indebtedness (as defined in the Note) in existence on the date of the Note or incurred thereafter.

 

On April 15, 2021, the note was due. The Company is in active discussions with Valqari to confirm per the agreement if the requirements to extend the note have been fulfilled.

 

On November 16, 2020, the Company (Payee) executed a promissory note in connection with a proposed acquisition (the “Proposed Acquisition”) by the Payee or its affiliate, for 100% of the capital stock of MicaSense Inc., (“MicaSense”). Parrot Drones S.A.S. promises to pay to the Company the principal amount of $100,000 provided, however that such principal amount was off-set and reduced by all amounts paid or due in connection with the purchase price upon closing of the Proposed Acquisition.

Note 7 – Acquisition

 

On January 27, 2021, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AgEagle Sensor Systems, Inc., we acquired 100% of MicaSense, Inc. from Parrot Drones S.A.S. and Justin B. McAllister. MicaSense is based in Washington and manufactures and sells its patented, high precision thermal and multispectral sensors, serving the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture market. In addition, MicaSense’s patented technologies are well positioned to address applications in advanced inspection in the energy and insurance sectors and autonomous flight safety for package delivery, among other solutions. MicaSense’s high performance proprietary products, including Altum, RedEdge-MX, RedEdge-MX Blue and Atlas Flight, have global distribution in 70 countries. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of MicaSense was $23,000,000, less any debt and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. A portion of the consideration is comprised of shares of common stock of the Company, having an aggregate value of $3,000,000 based on a volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over a ten consecutive trading day period prior to the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the Seller on April 27, 2021 in the amount of 540,541 restricted shares of Common Stock. The consideration is also subject to a $4,750,000 holdback to cover any post-closing indemnification claims and to satisfy any purchase price adjustments. The holdback is scheduled to be released in two equal installments, less any amounts paid or reserved for outstanding indemnity claims, on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2021. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing date, but in any event no later than 90 days after the filing date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act (including by preparing and filing with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary) until all Shares and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of. The Sellers are required to reimburse the Company up to $50,000 for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such registration.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including representations and warranties by the Sellers with respect to MicaSense’s business, operations and financial condition. The Purchase Agreement also includes post-closing covenants relating to the confidentiality and employee non-solicitation obligations of the Sellers, and the agreement of the Sellers not to compete with certain aspects of the business of MicaSense following the closing of the transaction. The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on MicaSense, (ii) the delivery by the parties of certain ancillary documents, including the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) the execution by a key employee of MicaSense of an employment agreement. Subject to certain limitations, each of the parties will be indemnified for damages resulting from third party claims and breaches of the parties’ respective representations, warranties, and covenants in the Purchase Agreement.

Note 7 – Acquisition-Continued

 

The fair value of the purchase consideration was allocated to the preliminary fair value of the net tangible assets acquired and to the separately identifiable intangible assets. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets and identified intangible assets has been treated as goodwill in accordance with ASC 805.

 

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of tangible assets; (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, developed technology and customer relationships, as well as goodwill; and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date of January 27, 2021:

 

Calculation of Goodwill:
Net purchase price, including debt paid at close		$	23,554,169
Plus fair value of liabilities assumed:
Deferred revenue			40,812
Fair value of liabilities assumed		$	40,812
Less fair value of assets acquired:

Note 8 – Promissory Note

 

On May 6, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $107,439 from the Small Business Administration (SBA) as part of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act’s Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP). The loan is unsecured, nonrecourse, accrues interest at one percent per annum, with a due date of May 6, 2022. Under the terms of the loan, a portion or all of the loan is forgivable to the extent that the loan proceeds are used to fund qualifying payroll, rent and utilities during a designated twenty-four-week period through October 21, 2020.

 

 The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years and can be extended to five years if agreed upon by both parties and bears interest at a rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, there can be no assurance that the Company will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part. The Company has submitted its application for forgiveness and expects the loan to be fully forgiven. The maturities of the loan for the:

Options

 

On March 26, 2018, the EnerJex 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) became effective. Under the Plan, the Company can grant equity-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees, and directors of, and consultants and advisers to, the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to help the Company attract, motivate, and retain such persons and thereby enhance shareholder value. The Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided, however, that the Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted.

Note 9 – Equity – Continued

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued options to purchase 379,500 shares of Common Stock to directors and employees of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $5.47 to $10.11 per share expiring on dates between January 3, 2025 and March 30, 2026. The Company determined the fair-market value of the options to be $1,759,950. In connection with the issuance of these options to employees and directors, the Company recognized $102,191 in stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

The Company previously issued options to purchase 3,469,540 shares of Common Stock to directors and employees of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $0.06 to $6.00 per share expiring on dates between March 30, 2023 and March 28, 2029. In connection with the issuance of these options to employees and directors, the Company recognized $223,127 and $54,635 in stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk-free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day.

 

The significant assumptions relating to the valuation of the Company’s stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows:

 

		March 31, 2021
Dividend yield			0.00%
Expected life			3.02 Years
Expected volatility			85.41%
Risk-free interest rate			0.36%

 

A summary of the options activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

		Shares				Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term				Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2021			2,255,267			$	1.46				5.31 years			$	10,247,548
Granted			379,500				8.22				4.86 years				13,500
Exercised			(275,458	)			0.15				—				1,684,046
Expired/Forfeited			—				—				—				—
Outstanding at December 31, 2020			2,359,309				2.70				4.90 years				9,162,921
Exercisable at period end			1,065,408			$	0.89				4.94 years			$	5,784,588

  

For options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock was based upon the close of market price on the date of grant. The future expected stock-based compensation expense expected to be recognized in future years is $2,916,407 through March 30, 2023.

 

Intrinsic value is measured using the fair market value at the date of exercise (for shares exercised) or at March 31, 2021 (for outstanding options), less the applicable exercise price.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease terms at the commencement dates. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate for its leases, which is equal to the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The incremental borrowing rate for all existing leases as of the opening balance sheet date was based upon the remaining terms of the leases; the incremental borrowing rate for all new or amended leases is based upon the lease terms. The lease terms for all the Company’s leases include the contractually obligated period of the leases, plus any additional periods covered by a Company options to extend the leases that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

 

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in operating costs or General and administrative expense. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less but greater than one month are not recorded on the balance sheet for select asset classes. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments as of the lease commencement date, or the opening balance sheet date for leases existing at adoption of Topic 842. The right-of-use asset recognized is based on the lease liability adjusted for prepaid and deferred rent and unamortized lease incentives.

 

The Company has two operating leases, one of which is located at 8863 E. 34^th Street North, Wichita, Kansas 67226, which serves as our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility. The commencement date of the lease was November 1, 2020 and will expire on October 31, 2023, unless sooner terminated or extended. The second lease is for office space in Seattle, Washington under a noncancelable operating lease that expires in January 2026 and with a 3% per year increase, and two months of abated rent for December 2020 and January 2021. Both leases are operating leases and included in the right-of-use asset, current portion of lease liability, and long-term lease liability captions on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

The aggregate estimated rent payments due over the initial three-to-six-year term is $1,374,097. Operating lease assets are recorded net of accumulated amortization of $1,136,742 as of March 31, 2021. Lease expense for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate estimated rent payments due over the option term would be $314,640. Lease expense payment was $86,875 and $77,688 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows of the operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2021:

 

Year Ending December 31,			Amount
2021			$	189,961
2022				263,890
2023				266,383
2024				194,550
2025				207,101
2026				17,857

GreenBlock Capital LLC Consulting Agreement

 

On May 3, 2019, we entered into a consulting agreement with GreenBlock Capital LLC (“Consultant”) to serve as strategic advisor and consultant with respect to the development of new business opportunities and the implementation of business strategies related to expansion into the emerging domestic hemp cultivation market. The extent of the services will be set forth in separate scopes of work, from time to time, to be prepared and mutually agreed to by the parties. As compensation for the services under the terms of the agreement, the Consultant can receive (i) $25,000 per month during the term of the agreement, (ii) 500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock upon execution of the agreement and up to (iii) up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock upon the achievement of predetermined milestones.

 

On October 31, 2019, the consulting agreement was terminated as a result of the Company no longer needing these services to be provided by an outside consultant. There are no early termination penalties incurred as a result of the termination of the consulting agreement. The Consultant may still be entitled to receive up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock after termination of the Agreement, if the achievement of milestones that commenced during the term of the Agreement are completed after termination.

 

In February 2021, the Consultant sent a demand letter to the Company alleging a breach of the consulting agreement due to the Company not issuing additional shares of Common Stock in connection with the Consultant’s alleged achievement of the milestones. Following delivery of the letter, the Consultant made a demand for an additional 750,000 shares of common stock to be issued. Although the Company disputed that the milestones were successfully achieved by the Consultant and believed that no additional shares of Common Stock were owed, the Company offered to the Consultant, in the form of a settlement, 250,000 additional shares of Common Stock. As result the Company recorded a contingent loss within general & administrative expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000 based upon the fair market value of $6.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 the offer was not accepted but now has been subsequently accepted, see Note 13.

Measure Acquisition

 

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Brandon Torres Declet, in his capacity as Sellers’ representative, and the sellers named in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sellers”) pursuant to which the Company simultaneously acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Measure Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Measure”) from the Sellers. Measure is an aerial intelligence company that builds software to automate drone operations workflows. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Measure is $45,000,000, less the amount of Measure’s debt and transaction expenses and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The purchase price is comprised of $15,000,000 in cash, and shares of Common Stock of the Company, having an aggregate value of $30,000,000 based on a volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over a seven consecutive trading day period prior to the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the Sellers (the “Shares”). The Company will issue 5,319,149 Shares, in the aggregate, to the Sellers. $5,000,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price is payable 90 days after the closing date of the transaction. As a result of the transaction, Measure is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The consideration is also subject to a $5,625,000 holdback to cover any post-closing indemnification claims and to satisfy any purchase price adjustments. The holdback is scheduled to be released on the date that is 18 months from the closing date, less any amounts paid or reserved for outstanding indemnity claims and certain amounts subject to employee retention conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including representations and warranties by the Sellers with respect to Measure’s business, operations and financial condition. The Purchase Agreement also includes post-closing covenants relating to the confidentiality and employee non-solicitation obligations of the Sellers, and the agreement of the Sellers not to compete with certain aspects of the business of Measure following the closing of the transaction. The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to: (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on Measure, (ii) the delivery by the parties of certain ancillary documents, and (iii) the execution by key employees of Measure of employment offer letters. Subject to certain limitations, each of the parties will be indemnified for damages resulting from third party claims and breaches of the parties’ respective representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Shares issuable to the Sellers will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to a limited number of persons who are “accredited investors” or “sophisticated persons” as those terms are defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, without the use of any general solicitation or advertising to market or otherwise offer the securities for sale. None of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and none may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

(“AgEagle,” “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our”) produces, supports and operates technologically advanced drone systems and solutions for the fast-emerging unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry. We are engaged in delivering the metrics, tools and strategies necessary to invent and implement drone-enabled solutions that solve important problems for our valued customers. With our founding premise rooted in high performance, next-level thinking, and technological innovation, AgEagle is intent on ensuring that new standards for quality U.S. manufacturing and the provision of precision-crafted, purpose-built drone systems and solutions are delivered to empower our customers to thrive and prosper in The Drone Age. ™

 

Founded in 2010, AgEagle was originally formed to pioneer proprietary, professional-grade, fixed-wing drones and aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions for the agriculture industry. In addition to selling our innovative drones to the precision and sustainable farming markets, AgEagle’s innovative data collection and analytics solutions, FarmLens™, has processed more than two million acres of crops, analyzing data that seeks to adopt and support productive agricultural approaches to improve farming practices which currently limit the impact on our natural resources, reduce reliance on inputs and materially increase crop yields and profits.

 

In the first half of 2019, the Company introduced HempOverview, a scalable, responsive and cost-effective Software-as-a-Solution (“SaaS”) web- and map-based technology platform to support the operations of domestic industrial hemp programs for state and tribal nation departments of agriculture – a solution that provides users with what the Company believes is the gold standard for regulatory oversight, operational assistance and reporting capabilities for the fast emerging industrial hemp industry.

 

In January 2021, AgEagle acquired MicaSense, Inc, a California company. (“MicaSense). Based in Seattle, Washington, MicaSense has been at the forefront of advanced drone sensor development since its founding in 2014, having formed integration partnerships with several leading fixed wing and multicopter drone manufacturers, including DraganFly™, senseFly™, Quantum-Systems and Wingtra, among others. MicaSense’s patented, high precision thermal and multispectral sensors serve the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture market; and are well positioned to address applications in advanced inspection in the energy and insurance sectors and autonomous flight safety for package delivery, among other solutions. MicaSense’s high performance proprietary products, including Altum™, RedEdge-MX™, RedEdge-MX Blue and Atlas Flight, have global distribution in 70 countries.

 

Over the past decade, the broader drone market has continued to evolve and expand. As a result, economic and productivity benefits made possible by drones is fueling global demand for high quality, safe and reliable drone systems and solutions for commercial applications well beyond agriculture. In response, AgEagle is now leveraging our technological expertise and drone engineering and manufacturing experience to penetrate new, high growth market sectors; namely, drone package delivery, public safety/security, large venue decontamination and infrastructure/inspection, among other high growth market opportunities.

 

 

AgEagle’s key growth objectives are centered on three primary areas of focus:

 

	1)	Ag Solutions: Leveraging our reputation as one of the leading technology solutions providers to the agriculture industry to increase market share through delivery of best-in-class drones, sensors and data analytics for hemp and other commercial crops;
	2)	Sensor Solutions: Establishing AgEagle as the world’s preferred source for advanced, proprietary, multispectral drone sensors serving the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture and broader drone markets; and
	3)	Drone Solutions and Manufacturing: Establishing the Company as one of the industry’s leading American-made trusted source for turnkey, end-to-end, tailored drone solutions to the world along with drone design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing company in the United States.

In addition, we expect to accelerate our growth and expansion through strategic acquisitions of drone-related companies offering distinct technological and competitive advantages and have defensible IP protection in place, if applicable.

 

Key Growth Strategies

 

We intend to grow our business by achieving greater market penetration of the growing precision agriculture marketplace; by promoting our new service targeting the sustainable agriculture marketplace for the 2021 growing season; and by creating new, easier to use and higher value products that position AgEagle as a leading innovator and trusted solutions provider in high growth markets where advanced aerial imaging and data capture and analytics technologies can be used to achieve specific business and sustainability objectives. Currently, our management is actively exploring new vertical expansion opportunities in other industries outside of agriculture and its related areas, including drone-enabled package delivery. In addition to drone package deliveries, we believe that our solutions and services may also be well suited for use in decontamination, mapping and surveying, mining/resource exploration, insurance inspection and infrastructure/asset inspection, among other industrial applications.

 

Key components of our growth strategy include the following:

 

 

	●	Achieving greater market penetration of the U.S. industrial hemp industry by working to establish HempOverview and other related products and services as the gold industry standard for hemp cultivation oversight, compliance, enforcement and commerce. AgEagle is – and intends to remain – at the leading edge of leveraging best-in-class technology to provide turnkey solutions for state and tribal regulatory departments of agriculture, industrial hemp and hemp-derived CBD growers and processors. At this time, AgEagle believes that it is the only company in the nation with extensive experience in agriculture that is effectively addressing the emerging needs and challenges of the domestic hemp cultivation industry through the application of advanced technology – a key competitive differential that the Company hopes to continue capitalizing on in the coming year.
	●	Deliver new and innovative solutions. AgEagle’s research and development efforts are the foundation of the Company, and we intend to continue investing in our own innovations, pioneering new and enhanced products and solutions that enable us to satisfy the Company’s customers – both in response to and in anticipation of their needs. AgEagle believes that by investing in research and development, the Company can be a leader in delivering innovative drone systems and solutions that address market needs within our current target markets, enabling us to create new opportunities for growth.

 

●

Continue to expand the AgEagle platform of drone systems and solutions into other industries beyond agriculture and commercial package delivery. The Company is actively pursuing opportunities outside of agriculture as we continue to expand and grow the AgEagle platform. We are confident in the UAV systems, services and solutions we offer today and believe that these systems, services and solutions could provide other drone industry sectors the same kind of optimization we are currently providing the agriculture industry. Expansion initiatives include the provision of quality contract manufacturing, design and engineering, assembly and testing of advanced drones and drone-related equipment, as well as turnkey drone solutions for the broader drone market.

 

 

●

Growth through acquisition. Through successful execution of our growth-through-acquisition strategies, we intend to acquire technologically-advanced drone-related companies and intellectual property that complement and strengthen our value proposition to the market. We believe that by investing in complementary acquisitions, we can accelerate our revenue growth and deliver a broader array of innovative drone systems and solutions that address specialized market needs within our current target markets and in emerging drone industry sectors.

  

Competitive Strengths

 

AgEagle believes the following attributes and capabilities provide us with long-term competitive advantages:

 

	●	Proprietary technologies, in-house capabilities and industry experience - We believe our decade of experience in commercial drone design and engineering; in-house manufacturing, assembly and testing capabilities; and advanced technology development skillset serve to differentiate AgEagle in the marketplace. As of today, we develop and manufacture all the drone systems and solutions we produce in the United States, which allows us to avoid many of the potential difficulties that could arise if our engineering and manufacturing operations were otherwise located outside of the country. In addition, AgEagle is committed to meeting and exceeding quality and safety standards for manufacturing, assembly, design and engineering and testing of drones, drone subcomponents and related drone equipment in our Wichita-based manufacturing operations.
	●	Advanced technology solutions allow users to remove the guesswork in effectively managing hemp cultivation oversight, compliance, enforcement, reporting and commerce - To our knowledge, there is no other SaaS solution available on the market today – particularly one that has been developed by a proven Agtech company with the level of experience and expertise of AgEagle – that provides the multi-faceted level of support and services that HempOverview offers to all stakeholders in the industry.
	●	Increased margins for farmers - We believe our drones and drone solutions directly enhance margins for commercial farmers by reducing the amount of nutrients and chemicals needed to manage their farms. The software equipped on our UAVs deliver a high-quality aerial map upon completion of the flight, allowing the user to accurately identify the specific areas that are malnourished. This software is compatible with precision applicator tractors, which assist users in applying a precise amount of nutrients in only the areas it is needed. In addition, Our UAVs are specially designed to provide users with a portable and easy to operate device, which can be controlled with a hand-held unit or tablet. Through our FarmLens platform, users are able to plan and track an efficient flight path for their UAV. The UAVs are equipped with a camera and NIR filter whose images provide a holistic aerial view of the fields, along with meaningful data that is uploaded and delivered to the user within a very short time frame. As a result, this platform allows users to quickly detect any issues in their crops, which enables them to address such issues in a timely manner before any damage, or further damage, may affect their crops.
	●	Expertise in drone delivery – Since 2019, AgEagle has been actively engaged in the custom manufacturing and assembly of drones and drone equipment used for the testing and refining of a world leading ecommerce company’s commercial drone small package delivery vehicles, systems and operations. As a result, we are uniquely positioned to collaborate with other organizations seeking to activate and accelerate adoption of end-to-end drone delivery solutions to drive new and differentiated value creation in their business-to-business or business-to-consumer operations.
	●	Leading-edge research and delivery – In order to propel functional commercial applications of drone solutions in real world, real-time environments, and to best aid in the determination and ultimate adoption of a regulatory framework to guide and direct mainstream commercial use of drones beyond visual line of sight, AgEagle is a lead participant in the FAA’s BEYOND program in Kansas and is actively engaged in partnering with other leading drone solutions companies on pilot projects with long-term commercial potential.

 

 

Impact of COVID-19 On Our Business Operations

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has spread to many regions of the world, including the United States. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

 

Should the coronavirus continue to spread, our business operations could be delayed or interrupted. For instance, we currently utilize third parties to, among other things, manufacture components and parts for the proprietary and contracted drones we produce, and to perform quality testing. We also manufacture and assemble products and perform various services at our manufacturing facility. If either we or any third-parties in the supply chain for materials used in our manufacturing and assembly processes are adversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, our supply chain may be disrupted, limiting our ability to manufacture and assemble products.

 

The spread of the coronavirus, which has caused a broad impact globally, including restrictions on travel and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, may have a material economic effect on our business. While the potential economic impact brought on by and the duration of the pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruptions of global financial markets, which may reduce our future ability to access capital either at all or on favorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the coronavirus could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our Common Stock.

 

The ultimate impact of the current pandemic, or any other health epidemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on our operations in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our most critical estimates include those related to revenue recognition, inventories and reserves for excess and obsolescence, accounting for stock-based awards, and income taxes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Please see Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which are included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report, for our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded revenues of $1,701,592 compared to revenues of $391,280 for the same period in 2020, a 335% increase. The increase was mainly due to new revenues derived from the acquisition of MicaSense business related specifically to sensor sales for Altum. Revenue growth was also positively impacted by the continued focus on expansion of our platform with the State of Iowa, providing aerial imaging and analytics solutions which serve new and emerging markets including registration, oversight, and compliance of hemp fields by state departments of agriculture for the State of Iowa.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cost of sales totaled $621,904, a $447,420, or 256.4%, increase when compared to $174,483 in the three months ended March 31, 2020. We had a gross profit of $1,079,688, or 63% gross profit margin, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $216,797, or 55% gross profit margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary factors contributing to the increase in our cost of sales and gross profit margin was due to the continued shift in mix of products and services we now offer customers in the new markets we serve that have resulted in higher margin for our sales specifically for our sensor sales related to MicaSense acquisition.

 

We recorded total operating expenses of $4,040,488 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, a 552% increase as compared to operating expenses of $620,070 in the same period of 2020. Our operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative expenses, professional fees, research and development and sales and marketing expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $1,851,653 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $445,531 in the same period of 2020, an increase of 316%. The increase was primarily due to costs for additional payroll and bonus payments associated with new hires, MicaSense acquisition and existing employees, stock compensation expenses an estimated contingent liability accrual associated with a consultant agreement, new rent for Washington offices, audit, taxes, valuation and financial service fees and amortization expense associated to the intangibles acquired in the recent acquisition and platform development costs. Professional fees also increased 867% as we had $1,658,326 of expenses for the current period versus $171,498 in the comparable prior period. The increase was mainly due to largely to added legal expenses associated with our capital raising activities and acquisition activity and an estimated contingent liability accrual associated with a consultant agreement. Also included in operating expenses was sales and marketing costs that increased 9,690% to $297,705 versus $3,041 in the prior year’s comparable period due to MicaSense acquisition sales and marketing team. Lastly, we recorded research and development expenses totaled $232,804 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, no expenses were recorded for the same period during 2020, the increase was due to the MicaSense acquisition for development of new sensor products.

 

Interest income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,851 related to interest accrued for the note from Valqari offset by interest expense related to MicaSense credit line paid in fully upon close of the transaction as compared to $0 in the prior period.

 

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $27,419, there was no other income recorded for the comparable period during 2020. The Other income represented insurance claims proceeds related to a theft in 2020.

 

Our net loss was $2,930,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This represents a $2,527,257 increase over our net loss of $403,273 in the same period during 2020. Overall, the increase in net loss is due to greater operating costs which includes additional general and administrative costs along with added professional expenses as a result of the shift in our sales and long-term growth strategies that required increased business development resources, legal expenses to support capital and acquisition growth and an estimated contingent liability accrual associated with a consultant agreement. We are in the process of continuing to address these shifts by developing new platforms, products and services that support prevailing growth opportunities in domestic industrial hemp and sustainable agriculture and growing our drone-enabled package delivery business.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our net loss available to Common Stockholders was $2,930,530 and $443,718, respectively an increase of $2,486,812. The net loss increase in the prior period was due to Series D Preferred Stock dividends recorded during the period.

 

 

Cash Flows

 

March 31, 2021 As Compared to March 31, 2020

 

Cash on hand was $24,193,542 on March 31, 2021, an increase of $253,209 compared to the $356,084 on hand at March 31, 2020. Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31,2021 was $1,128,591 compared to $359,629 of cash used by operations for the same period during 2020. The increase in cash used in operating activities was driven mainly driven by increase in operating loss due to greater overhead expenses along with increase in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid balances offset by accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue associated with the growth of the business.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $13,278,891 compared to $2,284 during the same period during 2020. The increase in cash used in our investing activities resulted from the acquisition of MicaSense and purchase of property and equipment and building improvements related to the new leased warehouse and corporate offices in Wichita along with recording capitalized costs associated with the development of the HempOverview platform.

 

Cash provided in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $14,660,691 compared to no cash used in financing activities during the same period of 2020. The increase in cash provided by our financing activities was due to sales of our Common Stock and the exercise of warrants issued in connection with a securities purchase agreement executed in August 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

 As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $17,184,362 and a loss from operations of $2,930,530 for the period then ended. While there can be no guarantees, we believe cash on hand, in connection with cash generated from revenue, will be sufficient to fund the next year of operations. In addition, we intend to pursue other opportunities of raising capital with outside investors.

 

On December 31, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investor in a registered direct offering Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,057,214 shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of approximately $6.375 million (which includes subsequent payment of the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants in the amount of $1,057.21). The shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants are referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The purchase price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $6.029. The exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.001.

 

We continue to realize losses from operations. However, as a result of our capital raise efforts, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements through December 2022. Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service, and for general corporate purposes. Our primary source of liquidity is funds generated by financing activities and from private placements. Our ability to fund our operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to make planned acquisitions, to make scheduled debt payments, and to repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

On March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Inflation

 

Our opinion is that inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our operations.

 

Climate Change

 

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

 

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(t) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Although we currently maintain liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, we cannot assure that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable to us. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and certain other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Lopez v. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01810 (C.D. Cal.)

 

On February 26, 2021, Shawn Lopez filed a shareholder class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking unspecified monetary damages for alleged violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the period from September 2, 2019 to February 18, 2021 against AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), J. Michael Drozd, Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, Bret Chilcott, and Barrett Mooney (the “Defendants”). The case is captioned Lopez v. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01810 (C.D. Cal.) and was assigned to District Judge Christina A. Snyder and Magistrate Judge Charles F. Eick. Plaintiff’s initial complaint alleges, among other things, that Defendants purportedly violated the securities laws by making or approving statements that contained allegedly false representations concerning the Company’s business relationship with an e-commerce company.

 

As of this date and to the best of our knowledge, neither AgEagle nor the individual Defendants have been served or have agreed to accept service of the summons and complaint.  As of this date, Plaintiff has not filed an affidavit of service with the Court concerning service upon any Defendant.  On April 27, 2021, a number of non-party movants filed motions seeking the Court’s appointment to serve as lead plaintiff(s) in the action, for the further appointment of certain lead counsel, as well as the consolidation of this action with the Madrid action discussed below.  The pending motions have been made returnable with the Court on or before June 7, 2021, following the Court’s resolution of which it is common for the newly-appointed lead plaintiff(s) to amend the complaint and allegations underlying the claims.  For this reason, we cannot provide a meaningful evaluation at this time of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.

 

Madrid v. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01991 (C.D. Cal.)

 

On March 4, 2021, Cristian Jesus Merino Madrid filed a shareholder class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking unspecified monetary damages for alleged violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the period from September 2, 2019 to February 18, 2021 against AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), J. Michael Drozd, Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, Bret Chilcott, and Barrett Mooney (captioned Madrid v. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01991 (C.D. Cal.)) (the “Defendants”). Plaintiff’s initial complaint alleges, similar to the Lopez case described above, that Defendants, among other things, purportedly violated the securities laws by making or approving statements that contained allegedly false representations concerning the Company’s business relationship with an e-commerce company.

 

On March 9, 2021, this case was transferred to District Judge Christina A. Snyder and Magistrate Judge Charles F. Eick as a related case to Lopez v. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01810.

 

Nostrand and Rickerson v. Mooney et al. (Defendants) and AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (Nominal Defendant), Case No. 3:21-cv-00130 (D. Nev.)

 

On March 17, 2021, John Nostrand and Drew Rickerson filed a shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of nominal defendant AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (“AgEagle” or the “Company”) against Barrett Mooney, Grant Begley, Luisa Ingargolia, Thomas Gardner, Bret Chilcott, J. Michael Drozd, and Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, seeking unspecified monetary damages and other relief for the benefit of the Company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the period September 3, 2019 to the present. Plaintiffs’ complaint alleges, among other things, that Defendants purportedly breached their fiduciary duties and violated the securities laws by making or approving statements that contained allegedly false representations concerning the Company’s business relationship with an e-commerce company.

 

The Company believes that each of the foregoing complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against each of these claims.
