For the Period Ended March 31, 2016

 

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The financial statements as of December 31, 2015 have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 10K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015.

2.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

The accounts payable due to related party at December 31, 2015 was comprised of $6,000 director fees which were paid in January 2016. 

3.INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out method. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with its supplies, and the estimated utility of its inventory. If the review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, inventory is reduced to a new cost basis through a charge to cost of goods sold. Allowance for slow moving items decreased $15,383 due to sale of aerostat launcher. Inventory consists of the following at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

5.INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire exclusive commercial software licenses for the “GUST” (Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool) autopilot system from Adaptive Flight, Inc. Through the purchase of the assets of privately held Adaptive Flight Inc. (AFI), the Company is assuming the transferable licenses from the Georgia Tech Research Corporation which include flight simulation tools and fault tolerant flight control algorithms. In addition, the company acquired AFI’s dedicated flight computer and additional related hardware and airframes. The Company paid $100,000 in immediately available funds and $100,000 to be held in escrow. In addition, the Company issued 150,000 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $8.40 per share on the date of agreement, to be held in escrow. 

The Company has a milestone of twelve months to complete a technology Integration Plan, the non-completion of which may result in the return of the purchased assets and termination of the Company’s obligations to release the escrow cash and shares. Additional milestones include exclusive, no-cost and perpetual licenses to all contributing intellectual property included or related to the purchased assets. As such time as all milestones are met, one-half of the escrow shares will be released to AFI. Upon termination of the escrow agreement, anticipated to be twelve months from the closing of the asset purchase, if all milestones have been met, the remaining escrow shares will be released to AFI; but if all milestones have not been met, the escrow cash and escrow shares will be released to the Company and the purchased assets will be returned to AFI. According to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if the escrow share value is less than $1,400,000, the Company must issue an additional number of unregistered shares, not to exceed 50,000 shares. At December 31, 2015, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.23 per share, or $484,500. The Company recorded $161,500 as an additional liability and expense at December 31, 2015 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.23 per share. At March 31, 2016, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.00 per share, or $450,000. The additional liability was reduced to $150,000 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.00 per share. The Company recorded the $11,500 reduction in the additional liability through profit and loss statement at March 31, 2016. No amortization expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 since the Company is still in the process of integration and no revenue has been generated from the asset.

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

6.SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On October 29, 2015 a 1:40 reverse split of the Company stock occurred and the effect has been applied retroactively for disclosure purposes.

The Company issued a total of 335,968 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as described below:

The Company issued 2,500 shares of common stock pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series A preferred stock.

The Company issued 183,468 shares of common stock pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of 73,387 shares of Series C preferred stock.

The Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Series D preferred stock.

The Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of 1,999,998 shares of Series F preferred stock.

The Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Series G preferred stock.

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

On September 4, 2015, the Company issued 450,000 shares of restricted common stock to four management employees and one director pursuant to stock award agreements. The shares will vest upon consummation of a $4,000,000 equity or debt financing provided that the holder remains engaged by the Company through the vesting date. Stock based compensation of $604,440 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 based on management’s estimate that the shares will be fully vested by February 4, 2016 when the Board deemed vesting occurred with the issuance of $4,000,000 in common stock on November 20, 2015.

7.PREFERRED STOCK

On October 29, 2015 a 1:40 reverse split of the Company stock occurred and the effect has been applied retroactively for disclosure purposes.

All of the preferred stock of the Company is convertible into common shares. The Series A and Series C stock conversion ratio is 1 to 2.5 common shares. The Series B, B-1, D, E, F and G stock conversion ratio is 1 to 0.025 common shares. All preferred stock has voting rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis subject to any ownership limitations governing such preferred shares. All preferred stock is entitled to dividends rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis. None of the preferred stock is redeemable, participating nor callable.

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

Between January 1 and March 31, 2016, one investor in Series A preferred stock converted a total of 1,000 shares of Series A for an aggregate of 2,500 shares of restricted common stock in accordance with their conversion rights which includes a blocker with respect to individual ownership percentages. During the same period, two investors in Series C preferred stock converted a total of 73,387 shares of Series C for an aggregate of 183,468 shares of restricted common stock, one investor in Series D preferred stock converted a total of 2,000,000 shares of Series D for an aggregate of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock, one investor in Series F preferred stock converted a total of 1,999,998 shares of Series F for an aggregate of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock, and two investors in Series G preferred stock converted a total of 2,000,000shares of Series G for an aggregate of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock, all in accordance with their conversion rights which includes a blocker with respect to individual ownership percentages. 

8.EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

 

On October 29, 2015 a 1:40 reverse split of the Company stock occurred and the effect has been applied retroactively for disclosure purposes.

During 2015, the Company granted 842,500 common stock options to employees and a director for service provided. Of these, 250,000 options were immediately vested and were granted with an exercise price of $6.00 and the expiration date is May 18, 2018. Another 105,000 options were immediately vested and were granted with an exercise price of $5.00 and the expiration date of December 10, 2018. Another 250,000 options vest over two years or upon the up listing of the Company’s common stock and were granted with an exercise price of $6.00 and the expiration date is June 1, 2018. These 250,000 options were surrendered and cancelled on September 4, 2015. A director received two options. The first was for 75,000 shares vesting over two years and was granted with an exercise price of $10.00 and the expiration date is June 1, 2018. The second was for 125,000 shares with vesting tied to performance and was granted with an exercise price of $10.00 and the expiration date is June 1, 2018. These two director options were surrendered and cancelled on September 4, 2015. Stock based compensation was reversed for costs previously recognized on the total 450,000 surrendered and cancelled unvested options. Another option for 37,500 shares vesting over three years was granted with an exercise price of $10.80 and the expiration date is May 4, 2019.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value on the date of grant of the 37,500 stock-based awards that continue to vest during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

F-7 
 

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the 37,500 stock options granted during 2015 on the date of grant:

 

   2015
    
Expected dividend yield   0%
Expected volatility   129%
Risk-free interest rate   0.79 – 1.05% 
Expected life of options   2.43 – 3.43 years 

Under the Black-Scholes option price model, fair value of the options granted is estimated at $293,954 on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, $43,952 compensation expense was recognized.

The following table represents stock option activity as of and for the period ended March 31, 2016:

9.WARRANTS

 

On October 29, 2015 a 1:40 reverse split of the Company stock occurred and the effect has been applied retroactively for disclosure purposes.

 

For the year 2015, 52,500 common stock purchase warrants were granted to two consultants and a vendor for service provided. One consultant was granted 25,000 warrants with exercise price of $10.00, vesting over two years and the expiration date is June 16, 2018. The other consultant was granted 12,500 warrants with exercise price of $10.00, vesting over one year and the expiration date is June 25, 2018. These same two consultants and the vendor each received 5,000 warrants with exercise price of $5.00, immediately vested and an expiration date of December 10, 2018.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model to estimate the fair value on the re-measurement date as of March 31, 2016 of the 30,000 warrants that continue to vest during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the 30,000 warrants granted during 2015 as of March 31, 2016:

   March 31, 2016 
     
Expected dividend yield   0%
Expected volatility   116%
Risk-free interest rate   0.73%
Expected life of warrants   2.19 – 2.24 years 

 

 

Under the Black-Scholes warrant price model, fair value of the warrants granted during 2015 is estimated at $32,995 as of March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, $1,325 compensation expense was recognized.

10.OKLAHOMA TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION CENTER

 

At the time of the April 30, 2014 merger between MacroSolve, Inc. and Drone Aviation Holding Corp., MacroSolve had an $110,000 balance on its refundable award from the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program. The Company has not made any reductions in the award so it is in default. The parties are discussing a release from the debt that is unrelated to the current operations.

 

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On January 30, 2012, MacroSolve, Inc. filed suit against Newegg, Inc. in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of one or more claims of United States Patent #7,822,816. On March 7, 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) sent MacroSolve, Inc. an office action related to an ex parte reexamination of the ‘816 patent, which rejected all the claims in the patent (the USPTO Office Action”). As a result of the USPTO Office Action, on March 31, 2014, the Company dismissed its patent enforcement case against Newegg Inc. with prejudice. On April 6, 2015, the court denied the motion by Newegg for recovery of defendant legal fees of approximately $400,000 from the Company. On April 24, 2015, Newegg filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On August 19, 2015, the Company filed a Brief of Appellee MacroSolve, Inc. with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and on September 8, 2015, Newegg filed a Reply Brief. Oral arguments occurred on February 1, 2016. The Federal Circuit decision affirming the district court’s denial of fees came down on February 9, 2016 in the form of a Rule 36 (‘summary affirmance”) per curiam decision. Newegg has ninety days to file a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review. The Company has prevailed in this matter but should the case be accepted by the Supreme Court and the Company not prevail in that venue, the judgment would be borne by the former MacroSolve directors who sold their loans on April 17, 2014.

 

12.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed Chairman Jay H. Nussbaum to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Kevin Hess resigned as Chief Executive Officer and was appointed to the position of Chief Technology Officer.

 

On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors increased from four directors to five directors. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn (Retired) was appointed as an independent director and Vice Chairman of the Board for a two year term. General Flynn has also been appointed to the Strategic Advisory Board.  The Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock with monthly vesting provisions for twenty-four months services pursuant to a Director Agreement. The Vice Chairman can earn a pro rata portion of the shares, calculated on a twenty-four month vesting period, in the event the Vice Chairman relinquishes his position and board seat prior to the expiration date of the Director Agreement.

 

On April 27, 2016, the Company issued 150,000 shares of restricted common stock with monthly vesting provisions to two members of its Strategic Advisory Board for 12 month’s services. The advisors can earn a pro rata portion of the shares, calculated based on the twelve-month vesting period, in the event the service agreements are terminated prior to the expiration date as described in the agreements.

 

On April 27, 2016, the Company issued 1,150,000 shares of restricted common stock outside of the 2015 Equity Plan to five management employees pursuant to stock award agreements. The shares will vest upon consummation of a significant equity and/or debt financing at least equal to the November 2015 financing which raised $3,725,000 provided that the holder remains engaged by the Company through the vesting date.

 

On April 27, 2016, the Company issued 110,000 options and warrants from the 2015 Equity Plan to six employees and consultants for services provided. These options were immediately vested and were granted with an exercise price of $2.91 and the expiration date of April 27, 2019.

Results of Operations

 

Quarter Ended March 31, 2016 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

 

Net Revenues:  Net revenues of $443,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased $428,000 or 2,816% from $15,000 for the same period in 2015.   Sources of revenue were derived primarily from aerostat products and accessories. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company primarily focused resources on continued development of the WATT product line; a focus which continues through the first quarter of 2016.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit:  Cost of goods sold of $134,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased $126,000 or 1,549% from $8,000 for the same period in 2015. Costs include material, parts and labor associated with the sale of aerostats products and accessories. The resulting gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $310,000 was an increase of $303,000 or 4,267% from the $7,000 gross profit for the same quarter of 2015.  Gross profit margins were 70% and 47% for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses:  Operating expenses primarily consist of general and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased $609,000 or 65%, to $1,550,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $941,000 for the same period in 2015. Approximately $650,000 of the increase is attributable to non-cash stock compensation expense related to 2015 stock grants which vested in 2016. Research and development costs increased $74,000, salaries and benefits increased $93,000, marketing and promotions increased $49,000, rent and utilities increased $7,000, accounting and professional fees decreased ($15,000), financial advisory costs decreased ($21,000) and costs associated with the Board of Directors and Strategic Advisory Board decreased ($227,000).

 

Loss from Operations:  Loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased $306,000 or 33%, to $1,240,000 from loss from operations of $934,000 in 2014, primarily due to factors discussed above. 

 

Other Income and Expense:  Total other expenses related to interest expense of $140 increased $7 in the first quarter of 2016 from $133 in 2014.

Net Loss: Net loss increased $306,000 or 33% to $1,240,000 for the first quarter of 2016 from net loss of $934,000 in 2015.  This increased loss is due to factors discussed above. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had total current assets of $2,413,000 and total current liabilities of $383,000 for working capital of $2,030,000. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,742,000 and an accumulated deficit of $12,380,000.

 

We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues and sales of equity securities to accredited investors. While we currently believe we have sufficient capital and access to capital to continue our operations for the next 12 months, we may incur significant expenses in implementing our growth plan.  We could deplete our cash and working capital more rapidly than expected, which could result in our need to curtail our operations.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $912,000, which was a decrease in operating cash flow of approximately $349,000 from $563,000 net cash used in operating activities during the same three months of 2015. The net loss of approximately ($1,241,000) for the first three months of 2016 was $306,000 greater than the same period of 2015, which was approximately ($934,000). In addition to the increased net loss, the Company recognized approximately $409,000 more non-cash stock based compensation in the first three months of 2016 than the previous year, offset by a $415,000 increase in accounts receivable as a result of the increased sales activity in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Investing Activities:

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $6,000 and $13,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which was related to purchase of furniture and equipment.

 

Financing Activities:

 

There were no financing activities during the first quarters of either 2016 or 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that 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 investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-k for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2016. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

 Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:

 

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of tethered aerostats, accessories, spare parts and delivery and installation of aerostats.  Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 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.  At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company deems $0 and $0 as uncollectible, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Income:

 

The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered; 3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. We record unearned revenue as a liability and their associated costs of sales as work in process inventory. There is a balance of $470,000 in accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 for sales on account.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments:

 

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

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

  

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

     On January 30, 2012, MacroSolve, Inc. filed suit against Newegg, Inc. in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of one or more claims of United States Patent #7,822,816. On March 7, 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) sent MacroSolve, Inc. an office action related to an ex parte reexamination of the ‘816 patent, which rejected all the claims in the patent (the “USPTO Office Action”). As a result of the USPTO Office Action, on March 31, 2014, the Company dismissed its patent enforcement case against Newegg Inc. with prejudice. On April 6, 2015, the court denied the motion by Newegg for recovery of defendant legal fees of approximately $400,000 from the Company. On April 24, 2015, Newegg filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On August 19, 2015, the Company filed a Brief of Appellee MacroSolve, Inc. with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and on September 8, 2015, Newegg filed a Reply Brief. Oral arguments occurred on February 1, 2016. The Federal Circuit decision affirming the district court’s denial of fees came down on February 9, 2016 in the form of a Rule 36 (‘summary affirmance”) per curiam decision. Newegg has ninety days to file a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review. The Company has prevailed in this matter but should the case be accepted by the Supreme Court and the Company not prevail in that venue, the judgment would be borne by the former MacroSolve directors who sold their loans on April 17, 2014.
