1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

COMSovereign Holding Corp., formerly known as Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (the Company), provides technologically-advanced telecom solutions to network operators, mobile device carriers, governmental units and other enterprises worldwide. The Company has assembled a portfolio of communications, power and niche technologies, capabilities and products that enable the upgrading of latent 3G networks to 4G and 4G-LTE networks and will facilitate the rapid rollout of the 5G and “next-Generation” (“nG”) networks of the future. The Company focuses on special capabilities, including signal modulations, antennae, software, hardware, and firmware technologies that enable increasingly efficient data transmission across the radio-frequency spectrum. The Company’s product solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration, and sophisticated research and development programs. Since the Company’s business operations are in this early stages and the Company has a limited operating history as a consolidated company, the Company may be susceptible to numerous risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties associated with early stage enterprises as outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. While the Company competes globally on the basis of its innovative technology, broad product offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, as well as the scale of its global customer base and distribution, the Company’s primary focus is on the North American telecom infrastructure and service market. The Company believes it is in a unique position to rapidly increase its near-term domestic sales as it is among the few U.S.-based providers of telecommunications equipment and services.

Corporate History 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on April 17, 2014. On June 3, 2014, the Company acquired Drone Aviation Corp. through a share exchange transaction, and on March 26, 2015, Drone Aviation Corp. merged with and into the Company. As a result of the share exchange and merger with Drone Aviation Corp., the Company acquired Drone Aviation Corp.’s subsidiary, Lighter Than Air Systems Corp., which does business under the name Drone Aviation. 

On November 27, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition (the “ComSovereign Acquisition”) of ComSovereign Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ComSovereign”) in a stock-for-stock transaction with a total purchase price of approximately $75 million. The ComSovereign Acquisition was treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes under U.S. GAAP with ComSovereign as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are those of ComSovereign for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the period January 10, 2019 (Inception) to June 30, 2019 and those of the Company for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. The operations of our pre-acquisition business, which consisted primarily of the operations of Drone Aviation, are included in our consolidated operating results only for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

ComSovereign was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 10, 2019 and commenced operations through a series of acquisitions. 

On January 31, 2019, ComSovereign acquired the capital stock of VEO, a San Diego, California-based research and development company innovating Silicon Photonics (SiP) technologies for use in copper-to-fiber-to-copper switching, high-speed computing, high-speed ethernet, autonomous vehicle applications, mobile devices and 5G wireless equipment.

On January 31, 2019, ComSovereign acquired the capital stock of InduraPower Inc. (“InduraPower”), a Tucson, Arizona-based developer and manufacturer of intelligent batteries and back-up power supplies for network systems and telecom nodes. It also provides power designs and batteries for the aerospace, marine and automotive industries.  

On March 4, 2019, ComSovereign acquired the capital stock of Silver Bullet Technology, Inc. (“Silver Bullet”), a California-based engineering firm that designs and develops next generation network systems and components, including large scale network protocol development, software-defined radio systems and wireless network designs.  

On April 1, 2019, ComSovereign acquired the equity securities of DragonWave-X, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, DragonWave Corp. and DragonWave-X Canada, Inc. (collectively, “DragonWave”), a Dallas-based manufacturer of high-capacity microwave and millimeter point-to-point telecom backhaul radio units. DragonWave and its predecessor have been selling telecom backhaul radios since 2012 and its microwave radios have been installed in over 330,000 locations in more than 100 countries worldwide. According to a report by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, as of December 2019, DragonWave was the second largest provider of licensed point-to-point microwave backhaul radios in North America.

On April 1, 2019, ComSovereign acquired the capital stock of Lextrum Inc. (“Lextrum”), a Tucson, Arizona-based developer of full-duplex wireless technologies and components, including multi-reconfigurable RF antennae and software programs. This technology enables the doubling of a given spectrum band by allowing simultaneous transmission and receipt of radio signals on the same frequencies. 

On March 6, 2020, the Company’s newly-formed subsidiary, Sovereign Plastics LLC (“Sovereign Plastics”), acquired substantially all of the assets of a Colorado Springs, Colorado-based manufacturer of Plastics and metal components to third-party manufacturers. The Company acquired its Sovereign Plastics business to increase its operating margins by reducing the manufacturing and production costs of its telecom products. Sovereign Plastics will also primarily operate as the material, component manufacturing and supply chain source for all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company does not expect the revenues of Sovereign Plastics from sales to third parties to be material in the future. 

Each of the Company’s subsidiaries was acquired to address a different opportunity or segment within the North American telecom infrastructure and service market. 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As a result, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial positions, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Drone AFS Corp., Lighter Than Air Systems Corp., DragonWave, Lextrum, Silver Bullet, VEO, InduraPower and Sovereign Plastics. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial December 31, 2019 amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. The Company evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in making these evaluations. Hence, changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information or different assumptions or conditions make cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This guidance provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for borrowing instruments that use LIBOR as a reference rate and is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact ASU 2020-04 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for the Company in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2019-12 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 326 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN

U.S. GAAP requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance and to provide related note disclosures in certain circumstances.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $1,432,896 and had an accumulated deficit of $42,136,478 and negative working capital of $16,730,537.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund growth initiatives. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets and secure lines of credit. The Company anticipates an approximate $15,000,000 offering of equity securities in the third quarter of 2020. The Company’s fiscal operating results, accumulated deficit, and negative working capital, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the Company believes the fundraising actions outlined above, and its future operating cash flows, will enable it to meet its liquidity requirements through June 2021. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake, and the failure of the Company to raise additional capital could adversely affect its future operations and viability.

4. REVENUE

The following table is a summary of the Company’s timing of revenue recognition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the period January 10, 2019 (Inception) to June 30, 2019:  

The Company disaggregates revenue by source and geographic destination to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Revenue by source consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the period January 10, 2019 (Inception) to June 30, 2019:

Revenue by geographic destination consisted of the following for the for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the period January 10, 2019 (Inception) to June 30, 2019:

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets when it has a right to consideration and records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of cash payments received (or unconditional rights to receive cash) in advance of fulfilling performance obligations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have a contract assets balance.

The following table is a summary of the Company’s opening and closing balances of contract liabilities related to contracts with customers.

The increase in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to invoiced amounts that did not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria, partially offset by the revenue recognition criteria being met for previously deferred revenue. The amount of revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 that was included in the prior period contract liability balance was $116,707. This revenue consisted of services provided to customers who had been invoiced prior to the current year.

 5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants for each period.

There were no adjustments to net loss, the numerator, for purposes of computing basic earnings per share. The following table sets out the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share: 

Potential common shares issuable to employees, non-employees and directors upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, or convertible debt are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period, regardless of whether the Company is in a period of net loss available to common shareholders.

6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions, including all short-term, highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of the Company’s products. Such accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 45 days of receipt of the invoice. The Company provides 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.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

8. INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”). The cost of inventory is calculated on a standard cost basis, which approximates weighted average actual cost. NRV is determined as the market value for finished goods, replacement cost for raw materials and finished goods market value less cost to complete for work in progress inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records an impairment for excess and obsolete inventory based on factors including its estimated forecast of product demand, the stage of the product life cycle and production requirements for the units in question. Indirect manufacturing costs and direct labor expenses are allocated systematically to the total production inventory.

Inventory consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

9. PREPAID

Prepaid expenses consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

10. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment are stated at cost when acquired. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company invested $34,065 in capital expenditures.

The Company recognized $291,974 and $107,223 of depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $518,944 and $107,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the period January 10, 2019 (Inception) to June 30, 2019, respectively.

11. LEASES

Operating Leases

The Company has operating leases for office, manufacturing, and warehouse space. Amounts recognized as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for operating leases were as follows:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized three months of rent abatement for its executive office located at 5000 Quorum Drive, Dallas, TX 75254, resulting in a reduction of the right-of-use asset and lease liability by $101,438.

As part of the Acquired Business transaction on March 6, 2020, the Company assumed a lease for 23,300 square feet of flexible office space with a remaining term of approximately 62 months that will expire on May 30, 2025. A right-of-use asset and lease liability for $1,048,058 was recorded on March 6, 2020. Monthly payments will range from $17,600 to $20,903 during the life of the lease. The lease did not include an implicit rate of return; therefore, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on other leases with similar terms. The lease agreement has no renewal option.

Other information related to the Company’s operating leases are as follows:

The following table presents the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates related to the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

Finance Leases

As part of the Acquired Business transaction on March 6, 2020, the Company assumed a finance lease for certain equipment with a remaining term of approximately 20 months. The finance lease includes a bargain purchase option of $1 for the equipment at the end of the term on October 1, 2021. A right-of-use asset and lease liability for $18,009 was recorded on March 6, 2020. Monthly payments are $964.76 during the life of the lease, excluding the bargain purchase option. The lease did not include an implicit rate of return; therefore, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate.

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into a 24-month finance lease for certain equipment. The finance lease includes a bargain purchase option of $1 for the equipment at the end of the term on June 11, 2022.

The following table presents the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates related to the Company’s finance leases as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and has established a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The Company has determined that the book value of its outstanding financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 approximated their fair value due to their short-term nature.

13. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Fast Plastic Parts, LLC and Spring Creek Manufacturing, Inc. Acquisition

On March 6, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the net assets of Fast Plastic Parts, LLC and 100% of the shares of common stock of Spring Creek Manufacturing, Inc. (together, the “Acquired Business”). The consideration paid was the purchase price of $829,347, representing cash paid on the closing date of $253,773 and short-term debt incurred to the sellers of $575,574. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the acquired business occupies a 23,300-square-foot manufacturing facility that houses a full-production machine shop, a comprehensive line of state-of-the-art plastic injection molding machinery, as well as light-assembly fulfilment and packaging lines serving customers 24x7. To finance the cash paid on the closing date and a portion of the short term debt incurred, the Company entered into a new promissory note with an unaffiliated lender in the principal amount of $500,000 for proceeds of $446,000 that matures on December 5, 2020 and issued 50,000 shares of common stock. See Note 15 for further discussion of the promissory note. The Company expensed acquisition-related costs of $25,714 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company has accounted for the purchase using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities in proportion to their respective fair values. The following table summarizes the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the preliminary acquisition accounting for the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020:

14. LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This accounting standard requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded no impairments.

Investments

An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless (1) the Company has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (2) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary.

15. DEBT AGREEMENTS

Beneficial Conversion Features and Warrants

The Company evaluates the conversion feature of convertible debt instruments to determine whether the conversion feature was beneficial as described in ASC 470-30, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the relative fair value of any warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value of the BCF and warrants are recorded as a debt discount and is accreted over the expected term of the convertible debt as interest expense.

Debt Discounts

The Company records debt discounts as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related indebtedness on its Consolidated Balance Sheet with the respective debt discount amortized in interest expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the issuance of certain notes payable and senior convertible debentures, the Company, or its subsidiaries, issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock and has BCFs. The warrants are exercisable at various exercise prices per share. The Company evaluated the terms of these warrants at issuance and concluded that they should be treated as equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes model and was recorded as a debt discount offsetting the carrying value of the debt obligation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company presents debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related indebtedness on its Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortizes these costs over the term of the related debt liability using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization is recorded in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Long-term debt consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Certain agreements governing the secured notes payable, notes payable and senior convertible debentures contain customary covenants, such as debt service coverage ratios, limitations on liens, dispositions, mergers, entry into other lines of business, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness.

All debt agreements are subject to customary events of default. If an event of default occurs with respect to the debt agreements and is continuing, the lenders may accelerate the applicable amounts due. The Company is in default on several debt agreements, and has accrued the proper penalties or disclosed any additional contingencies that resulted from the default

Other than for reasons of noncompliance with debt covenants as noted above, all long-term debt obligations are classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the significant debt issuance costs discounting these obligations and causing classification as noncurrent to be negative.

Future maturities contractually required by the Company under long-term debt obligations are as follows for the years ending December 31:

18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-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 and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Stock Options

On March 20, 2019, the Company granted options outside of any equity plan to two employees and one non-employee for the purchase of an aggregate of 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
