NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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, 2022.

Basis of Presentation

 

The following unaudited interim consolidatedaccompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required byCompany were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in(“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to makefor a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and financial position for the financial statementsthree months ended March 31, 2023 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not misleading. The balance sheet asnecessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2016 has been derived from2023 or any other period. The amounts reported in the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. Theunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, includedand the tables in thisthe notes hereto, of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, are presented in United States dollars and are rounded in thousands with the exception of share and per share data. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on December 7, 2023.

Effective February 10, 2023, the Company enacted a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the “2023 Split”) of the Company’s common stock. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes give effect to the reverse stock split as if it occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

Correction of an Error

See Note 20 - Correction of an Error.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of the valuation of stock-based compensation; the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired; the valuation of the Company’s equity securities issued in transactions; the valuation of inventory; the allowance for credit losses; the valuation of equity securities; the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill.

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.


COMSOVEREIGN HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 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. As of March 31, 2023, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value was below its carrying amount due to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization. Accordingly, it was not necessary to perform impairment testing as of March 31, 2023. However, please see Note 20 – Correction of an Error for details related to the recognition of additional 2022 impairment expense.

In determining whether a quantitative assessment is required, the Company will evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after performing the qualitative assessment, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would perform the quantitative impairment test described in ASC 350. However, if, after applying the qualitative assessment, the entity concludes that it is not more than likely that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is not required. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations.

The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches and compares it to the carrying values. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

Discontinued Operations

On June 21, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Sovereign Plastics business unit to TheLandersCompanies LLC for total consideration of $2.0 million in a secured note with interest of 5% and a maturity date of May 31, 2025. The results of Sovereign Plastics are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for additional information).

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Sky Sapience business unit to Titan Innovations Ltd. for total consideration of $1.8 million. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of Sky Sapience are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for additional information).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement) as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs may be used with standard pricing models or other valuation or internally-developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements primarily in conjunction with the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In addition, certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. In general, nonfinancial assets including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized.

MARCH 31, 2023

As allowed by applicable FASB guidance, the Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities to any of its currently eligible financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes theretopayable. The Company has determined that the book value of its outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximated their fair value due to their short-term nature. 

Reportable Segments and Reporting Units

A reporting unit (“RU”) is a component of an operating segment that is a business activity for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company’s legal operating subsidiaries are not organized to qualify as individual segments, however, each operating entity had separate financial information and an operating manager, who oversees the business and financial activities, reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Therefore, during 2022, the Company operated as one reportable segment and each legal entity was deemed to be a separate reporting unit.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company began operating as a single reporting unit. As part of the Company’s restructuring, the Company integrated its previously separate reporting units, including employing a single integrated sales function, and the Chief Executive Officer is managing the Company and making decisions based on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

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 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In October 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Effective Dates”, to finalize the effective date delays for private companies, not-for-profits, and smaller reporting companies applying the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) standards. The ASU is now effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Sky Sapience business unit to Titan Innovations Ltd. for total consideration of $1.8 million. The sale of Sky Sapience didn’t qualify for discontinued operations presentation because the sale didn’t represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations (the Company will continue to be in the drone business). Sky Sapience’s assets and liabilities met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022 as follows:

Upon the completion of the sale of SKS during the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $0.5 million which consisted of total liabilities assumed of $2.5 million, an obligation receivable of $0.6 million, and cash proceeds of $0.5 million, partially offset by total assets acquired of $3.0 million and closing costs in connection with the sale to a consultant of $0.1 million. See Note 12 – Note and Obligation Receivable.

NOTE 4 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated cash flows from operations of $0.6 million and had an accumulated deficit of $302.5 million and a working capital deficit of $16.3 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund growth initiatives. Based on current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein (see Note 21 – Subsequent EventsDebt and Equity Developments), the Company presently only has enough cash on hand to operate on a month-to-month basis, without raising additional capital or selling assets. Because of the Company’s limited cash availability, its operations have been scaled back to the extent possible (see Note 19 – Other Business Developments – Business Developments). Management continues to explore opportunities with third parties and related parties; however, it has not entered into any agreement to provide the necessary additional capital, except as disclosed herein.

The Company will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet its future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising or profit-enhancing efforts that it may undertake, and these planned actions do not alleviate the substantial doubt. If the Company is not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to further delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, it could be forced to discontinue operations, liquidate assets and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code. Determining the extent to which conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the extent to which mitigating plans sufficiently alleviate any such substantial doubt requires significant judgment and estimation by the Company. The Company makes assumptions that management’s plans will be effectively implemented but may not alleviate substantial doubt and its ability to continue as a going concern.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have a material 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.

(Amounts in thousands) Total 
Balance at December 31, 2022 $3,384

Revenue earned  (13)
Balance at March 31, 2023 $4,437 

Of the $3.4 million contract balance as of December 31, 2022, $13 thousand was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1.9 million is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2023 resulting in the remaining contract balance of $1.5 million, which will be recognized as revenue when the Company meets the performance obligation, the timing of which is uncertain at this time.

NOTE 6 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“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) attributable to common stockholders 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.

Potential common shares issuable to employees, non-employees and directors upon exercise or conversion of shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss attributable to common shareholders. Stock options and warrants 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 (out-of-the-money), regardless of whether the Company is in a period of net loss attributable to common shareholders.

The following weighted-average potential common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per common share as their effect was anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

  March 31, 
  2023  2022 
Options  24,954   66,808 
Warrants  115,899   128,149 
Convertible notes(1)  189,601   52,080 
   330,454   247,037 

(1)The potentially dilutive shares associated with convertible notes were calculated based on the conditions as of the calculation date.

NOTE 7 CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash is represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions, including cash equivalents, defined as all short-term, highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $195,000 of restricted cash was released upon the sale of a building (see Note 11 – Property and Equipment, Net for additional information related to the sale of the building). The remaining $47,000 was released upon the abandonment of overseas equipment leases and $35,000 was transferred in the sale of Sky Sapience.

MARCH 31, 2023

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in investments in capital expenditures.

On January 31, 2022, the Company sold its Tucson, Arizona office building (the “Tucson Building”) for $15.8 million in cash.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

Debt activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included the following:

For Note F, on March 14, 2023, the Company amended Note F to extend the maturity date to July 29, 2024 with an interest rate of 8% and the ability to convert principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 10% discount to the closing price on which the conversion is elected effective September 15, 2023. In addition, the note became secured with a second priority security interest on the assets of its Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (d/b/a Drone Aviation Corp) business and agreed to extend the term of the advisory agreement pursuant to the original note for an additional two years and issue an additional 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per year while the note is outstanding. On April 13, 2023, the Company issued 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the advisor pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement as consideration for their services.

For Note K, on January 17, 2023, the Company sold an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $90,000, which was due on or before July 30, 2023. Of the $90,000 of proceeds from the first note, usage of $88,000 is restricted to make interest payments due to certain holders of Note M. The note becomes immediately due and payable if the Company raises at least $2.5 million in an equity or debt offering and will accrue 8% interest per annum, which increases to 15% per annum if the note isn’t repaid by the maturity date. The issuance of a second note (Note L) made the principal and accrued interest of both notes convertible if they aren’t repaid by the maturity date and the conversion price will equal 81% of the closing market price of the common stock on the day that the holder elects to convert the note(s), subject to a floor price of $5.00 per share. The Company did not repay the note on maturity and therefore the note became convertible as of the maturity date and is in default.

For Note L, on February 1, 2023, the Company sold an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $80,000, which was due on or before August 1, 2023. The note becomes immediately due and payable if the Company raises at least $2.5 million in an equity or debt offering and accrues 8% interest per annum, which increases to 15% per annum if the note isn’t repaid by the maturity date. The issuance of this note made the principal and accrued interest of Note K convertible if they aren’t repaid by the maturity date and the conversion price will equal 81% of the closing market price of the common stock on the day that the holder elects to convert the note(s), subject to a floor price of $5.00 per share. The Company did not repay the note on maturity and therefore the note became convertible as of the maturity date and is in default.

For Note M, on May 24, 2022, the Company received notice from counsel for holders of $11.2 million of convertible promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of FastBack that the Company had failed to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner, as required by the terms of the convertible promissory notes. While the note holders have the right to accelerate the maturity of the principal, the notice simply indicated that the holders were reserving their rights. On January 20, 2023, the Company paid cash for interest in the amount of $75,985. In addition, during January 2023, pursuant to a limited time offer, certain note holders agreed to amend their note and convert an aggregate of $1.3 million principal of their notes and $0.3 million of accrued interest into 280,625 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a limited time offer for conversions at a discounted rate of 81% of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day special conversion notices were received. As a result of the conversions, which were recorded using inducement accounting, the Company recognized a $1.9 million of loss on inducement of debt conversions, which is included in income from continuing operations in the income statement, which represents the fair value of the 280,625 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the limited time offer, less the fair value of the 3,068 shares of common stock that would have been issuable pursuant to the original terms of the convertible notes. Interest is being accrued at the 15.0% default rate during 2023.

Certain agreements governing the secured notes payable, unsecured notes payable, and unsecured convertible notes payable contain customary covenants, such as 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.

Future maturities contractually required by the Company under long-term debt obligations are as follows as of March 31, 2023:

(Amounts in thousands)  Total 
2023  $11,817

On January 27, 2022, a former employee filed suit against the Company in the Tulsa County Oklahoma District Court, Case No. CJ-2022-00221.

On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a notice of late filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC to report that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) would not be timely filed. On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On May 17, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On August 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On October 16, 2023, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Staff’s determination was based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the filing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company had not filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and has not filed the Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Company requested and obtained a hearing before the Panel as well as a further stay of any additional action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel. There can be no assurance that a favorable decision will be obtained.

If the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule within any grace period granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the Company’s common stock, warrants and 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance during any grace periods or be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements in the future.

NOTE 20 CORRECTION OF AN ERROR

During the review of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company identified errors in the reporting of historical goodwill impairment (included in impairment expense) and intangible asset impairment (included in impairment expense). The errors resulted in an understatement of impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. Based on management’s evaluation of the SEC Staff’s Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 (“SAB 99”) and 108 (“SAB 108”) and interpretations therewith, the Company concluded that the aforementioned errors were not material to the Company’s previously filed 2022 consolidated financial statements. This is further supported by the fact that all errors are of a non-cash nature, do not impact Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, and stock-based compensation), and would not likely have materially impacted a reasonable investor’s opinion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Because the correction of these errors was not deemed to be material to the results for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the errors are not expected to be material to the year ended December 31, 2023, to correct these errors, the Company recorded the corrections as out-of-period adjustments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. See the table below for the details of the corrections:

Nasdaq Compliance Developments

On June 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVPHS”), of the Company’s 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) has been below the minimum $1 million requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5555(a)(4) (the “Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement”). Under Nasdaq rules, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the delisting decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that, if the Company decides to appeal the delisting determination, such appeal would be successful.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from receipt of the letter, or until December 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement, the Company’s Preferred Stock MVPHS must be $1 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period ending on December 18, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with either listing requirement.

On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. As a result, the Company is required to present its views of the deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than December 22, 2023.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Staff had determined that an additional basis exists to delist the Company’s securities because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of less than $2,500,000 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

As further discussed in Note 6 – Related Party Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Liability, the Company does not currently have the liquid resources to repay the notes. On August 3, 2017, the maturity date of the notes were extended to April 1, 2019 and reclassified as long-term liability as of the balance sheet date. On August 2, 2017, the Company closed on a bank line of credit in the principal amount of $2,000,000 that was guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman and CEO and a private line of credit with a related party investor who is a significant shareholder in the amount of $2,000,000.

5.INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On July 20, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Drone AFS Corp., purchased substantially all the assets of Adaptive Flight, Inc. (“AFI”), a Georgia corporation. The Company purchased assets, including, but not limited to, intellectual property, licenses and permits, including commercial software licenses for the “GUST” (Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool) autopilot system and other transferable licenses which include flight simulation and fault tolerant flight control algorithms. The Company paid $100,000 in 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 a post-October 29, 2015 reverse stock split basis, on the date of agreement, to be held in escrow. 

F-5

The Company had a milestone of twelve months to complete a technology integration plan, the non-completion of which could result in the return of the purchased assets and termination of the Company’s obligations to release the escrow cash and shares. Additional milestones included exclusive, no-cost and perpetual licenses to all contributing intellectual property included or related to the purchased assets. As such time as all milestones were met, one-half of the escrow shares were to be released to AFI. Upon termination of the escrow agreement, anticipated to be twelve months from the closing of the asset purchase, if all milestones had been met, the remaining escrow shares would be released to AFI; but if all milestones have not been met, the escrow cash and escrow shares would be released to the Company and the purchased assets would be returned to AFI. According to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if the escrow share value was less than $1,400,000, the Company must issue an additional number of unregistered shares, not to exceed 50,000 shares. At December 31, 2015, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.23 per share, or $484,500. The Company recorded $161,500 as an additional liability and expense at December 31, 2015 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.23 per share. On June 3, 2016, the Integration Plan was deemed to be completed. At June 3, 2016, the value of the 150,000 shares was $3.01 per share, or $451,150. The additional liability was reduced to $150,500 for the cost of 50,000 shares at $3.01 per share. The Company recorded the $11,000 reduction in the additional liability through the statement of operations at June 3, 2016. The Company began amortizing the $1,460,000 of purchased assets over a sixty-month period on June 3, 2016 in the amount of $24,333 per month. Total amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $219,000. The remaining unamortized balance of $1,070,667 is estimated be amortized in the estimated amounts of $292,000 per year for 2017 through 2020 and $121,667 in 2021.

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

6.RELATED PARTY CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

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

On August 3, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into amendments (the “Convertible Note Amendments”) with the owners and holders of the following convertible promissory notes issued by the Company (the “Series 2016 Convertible Notes”):

Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $1,500,000 issued by the Company on September 29, 2016 to Frost Gamma Investments Trust (“Frost Gamma”). Frost Gamma is a trust that is controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost, a substantial shareholder of the Company; and

Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $1,500,000 issued by the Company on September 29, 2016 to Jay H. Nussbaum, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The Convertible Note Amendments extend the maturity date for each of the Series 2016 Convertible Notes to April 1, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) and revise the conversion price to mean $1.00 per share subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. Accordingly, the notes have been reclassified as long-term debt. Consistent with the original terms of the Series 2016 Convertible Notes, interest accrues at the rate of 6% interest per annum and is payable on the Maturity Date. The accrued interest is payable at the holders’ option in cash or shares of our common stock valued at the $1.00 per share conversion price. The Convertible Note Amendments provide that an event of default in the City National Bank Loan will be treated as an event of default under the Series 2016 Convertible Notes.

F-6

The Company evaluated the modification under ASC 470-50 and determined that is qualified as an extinguishment of debt. The aggregate loss on extinguishment of debt in 2017 is $681,988, including ($378) on derivative liabilities, and $682,366 on unamortized debt discount. The embedded conversion feature of the notes pre-modification required liability classification. 

The Company analyzed the conversion option in the notes for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting.

The Company therefore performed an analysis to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

   Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
 LIABILITIES:                
 Derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2017 $0  $0  $0  $0 
 Derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016 $0  $0  $1,832,013  $1,832,013 

The following table represents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016:

 Fair value of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2015 $0 
 Fair value of derivative liability at September 30, 2016 recorded as debt discount  2,394,974 
 Change in fair value of derivative liabilities  (562,961)

 Gain on extinguishment of debt  (378)
  Fair value of derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2017 $0 

7.REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

On August 2, 2017, the Company issued a promissory note to City National Bank of Florida (“CNB”) in the principal amount of $2,000,000, the CNB Note. The note evidences a revolving line of credit with advances that may be requested by the Company until the maturity date of August 2, 2018 so long as no event of default exists under the note, the Company or Mr. Nussbaum does not cease doing business, Mr. Nussbaum does not seek to revoke or modify his guarantee of the Note, the Company does not misapply the proceeds of this loan or CNB in good faith does not believe itself insecure. The CNB Note bears interest at a variable rate equal to 0.250 percentage points over the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate payable monthly. The Company will pay to CNB a late charge of 5.0% of any monthly payment not received by Lender within 10 calendar days after its due date. The Company may prepay the note at any time without penalty. In the event of a default, the interest rate will increase to the highest lawful rate. The Company is obligated to maintain depository accounts with CNB with a minimum average annual balance of $600,000. In the event the Company does not maintain this account balance, CNB may charge the Company a fee equal to 2% of the deficiency as additional interest under the note. The CNB Note is personally guaranteed by Mr. Nussbaum, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to written guarantee in favor of CNB (the “CNB Guarantee”). Mr. Nussbaum and the Company are obligated to maintain an unencumbered liquidity of no less than $6,000,000 in the form of cash, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit or marketable securities acceptable to CNB. In addition, to secure our obligations under the note, we entered into a security agreement in favor of CNB (the “Security Agreement”) encumbering all of our accounts, inventory and equipment along with an assignment of a bank account we maintain at CNB with an approximate balance of $90,000. As of September 30, 2017, $1,000,000 has been drawn against the line of credit. Accrued interest of $5,231 has been recognized as of September 30, 2017.

Indemnification Agreement

On August 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Nussbaum in order to indemnify and defend him to the fullest extent permitted by law for any claim, expense or obligation which might arise as a result of his guarantee of the CNB Note.

F-7

8.SERIES 2017 SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

On August 3, 2017, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note Series 2017 due August 2, 2018 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Series 2017 Convertible Note”) in a private placement to Frost Nevada Investments Trust (“Frost Nevada”). Frost Nevada is a trust that is controlled by Dr. Frost, a substantial shareholder of the Company. The note evidences a revolving line of credit with advances that may be requested by the Company until the maturity date of August 2, 2018 so long as no event of default exists under the loan. The Company may request advances of principal under this note equal to and at the same time as it requests advances, if any, pursuant to the CNB Note. The note bears interest at a variable rate equal to 0.250 percentage points over the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. The Company may prepay the notes at any time without penalty. If the Company does not prepay the note in full or the holder does not convert the note before the maturity date, the Company may pay the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the maturity date with cash or with common stock or through a combination of cash and stock at Frost Nevada’s discretion. The conversion price under the note is $1.00 per share subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. The Series 2017 Convertible Note is secured by a security interest in all the Company’s assets. This security interest is subordinate to the security interest of CNB discussed in Footnote #7 above. As of September 30, 2017, $1,000,000 has been drawn against the line of credit. Accrued interest of $7,231 has been recognized as of September 30, 2017.

The Company analyzed the conversion option in the notes for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting.

The Company therefore performed an analysis to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.

9.SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On August 3, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the August 24, 2014 Independent Contractor Agreements it entered into with Dr. Philip Frost and Steven Rubin who serve as members of the Company’s Strategic Advisory Board (the “SAB Amendments”). The SAB Amendments extend the term of the agreements from May 1, 2017 until April 30, 2018 and provide for the following equity based compensation: (a) for Dr. Frost, a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Frost Warrant”) and an award of 150,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered restricted Common Stock and (b) for Mr. Rubin, an award of 100,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered restricted Common Stock. The restricted stock vests upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the SAB Amendments). The Warrant has a term of five years and exercise price of $1.00 per share subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. The Company recognized $104,167 expense for the pro rata portion of shares earned by the two members during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, amortizing the expense over the 12 months of the service agreement regardless of the vesting condition.

In September 2016 , the Company issued 1,349,000 shares of restricted common stock outside of the 2015 Equity Plan to Jay Nussbaum, Felicia Hess, Daniyel Erdberg, Kendall Carpenter, Mike Silverman and Reginald Brown pursuant to Stock Award Agreements. The shares will vest upon consummation of a significant equity and/or debt financing of at least $5,000,000 provided that the holder remains engaged by the Company through the vesting date. The Company recognized $970,067 stock based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $28,808 in stock based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of August 3, 2017, the Company does not believe the vesting conditions are probable of being achieved, and as such, no stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized in connection with the September 2016 shares.  Consequently, previously recorded stock based compensation of $1,488,596 was reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On August 3, 2017, these awards were modified so that the restrictions set forth in the RSA lapse upon the earlier of (i) consummation of a significant equity and/or debt financing from which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 or (ii) a change in control (as defined in the RSA Amendment), provided that, in either case, the holder remains engaged by the Company through the date of such event. The Company does not believe the modified vesting conditions are probably of being achieved, and as such, no stock-based compensation expense has been recorded. The Company will reassess whether achievement of the vesting conditions is probable at each reporting date. If it is probable, stock-based compensation will be recognized.

F-8

In May 2016, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock with monthly vesting provisions to Strategic Advisory Board members, Dr. Philip Frost and Steven Rubin, for 12 months of services. The advisors can earn a pro rata portion of the shares, calculated based on the twelve-month vesting period, in the event the service agreements are terminated prior to the expiration date as described in the agreements. These shares vested during May 2017. The Company recognized a total of $29,500 and $211,890 expense for the pro rata portion of shares earned by the two members during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In April 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of common stock outside of the 2015 Equity Plan to Jay Nussbaum, Felicia Hess, Daniyel Erdberg, Kendall Carpenter, and Kevin Hess pursuant to Stock Award Agreements. Stock based compensation of $3,346,615 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 on the awards which fully vested on September 29, 2016. That same month, the Company issued 100,000 shares of stock to a director who subsequently resigned and forfeited the shares. The Company recognized a total of $60,495 stock compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 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. Stock based compensation of $604,440 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

On June 1, 2015, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock with monthly vesting provisions to the Chairman of the Board for twenty-four 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. These shares vested on June 1, 2017. The Company recognized a total of $112,500 and $202,500 expense for the portion of such shares earned by the Chairman during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On April 24, 2017, the holder of Series A preferred stock converted a total of 100,100 shares of Series A for an aggregate of 250,250 shares of restricted common stock in accordance with their conversion rights which includes a blocker with respect to individual ownership percentages.

10.PREFERRED STOCK

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

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.

On April 24, 2017, the holder of Series A preferred stock converted a total of 100,100 shares of Series A for an aggregate of 250,250 shares of restricted common stock in accordance with their conversion rights which includes a blocker with respect to individual ownership percentages.

Significant Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues

Our revenues are generated primarily from the sale of our products, which consist primarily of telecom hardware, repairs, support & maintenance, drones, consulting, warranties and other. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in the contract with customers and identify a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligation, we consider all products and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods and services. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 0% and 16%, respectively, of our revenues were derived primarily from aerostatsales outside of the United States. While our near-term focus is on the North American telecom and infrastructure and service market, a key element of our growth strategy is to expand our worldwide customer base and our international operations, initially through agreements with third-party resellers, distributors and other partners that can market and sell our products and accessories. The decrease in sales volume was primarily a result of a longer sales cycle stemming in part from the recent change in presidential administration and congressional budgeting delays.foreign jurisdictions. We expect increasedthat over the short term our percentage of sales in future periods based on a product pipeline developed followingoutside the United States may increase as we build up our increased marketing efforts discussed indomestic sales and service teams. Notwithstanding such percentage increase, we expect the Business Overview section above.sales of tethered aerostats and drones will primarily be to the domestic market customers, primarily to the U.S. government and its agencies, even if such systems are for integration into foreign locations.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit:

Our cost of goods sold is comprised primarily of the costs of manufacturing products, procuring finished goods from our third-party manufacturers, third-party logistics and warehousing provider costs, shipping and handling costs and warranty costs. We presently outsource the manufacturing of our FastBack and DragonWave products to two outsourced manufacturers, SMC for FastBack products and Benchmark for DragonWave products. Cost of goods sold of $33,594 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 decreased $31,057 or 48% from $64,651 for the same period in 2016. Costs included materials, parts and laboralso includes costs associated with supply operations, including personnel-related costs, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, third-party license costs and third-party costs related to the saleservices we provide. Additionally, cost of aerostatgoods sold does not include any depreciation and amortization expenses as we separate depreciation and amortization expense into its own category within operating expenses.

Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including changes in our supply chain and evolving product mix. The margin profile of our current products and accessories. The $59,511future products will vary depending on operating performance, features, materials, manufacturer, and supply chain. Gross margin will vary as a function of product mix, changes in pricing due to competitive pressure, our third-party manufacturing, our production costs, costs of shipping and logistics, provision for excess and obsolete inventory and other factors. We expect our gross profit formargins will fluctuate from period to period depending on the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was a decreaseinterplay of $22,046 or 27% from the $81,557 in gross profit for the same quarter of 2016.  Gross profit margins were 64%these various factors.

ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or 17% to $4,544,499on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. As of September 30, 2017, the CompanyMarch 31, 2023, we had $1,764,389$3.1 million in cash compared to $2,015,214 in cash at$1.9 million on December 31, 2016, a decrease2022, an increase of $250,825. $1.2 million resulting primarily from $0.6 million of cash provided by operating activities, $0.4 million of cash provided by the sale of SKS (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale), and $0.2 million of proceeds from debt.

As of September 30, 2017, the CompanyMarch 31, 2023, we had accounts receivable of $100,749 compared to $394,000 at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $293,251 resulting from increased collections in the first nine months of 2017.

The Company had total current assets of $2,671,573 and total current liabilities of $2,338,139, or working capital of $333,434 at September 30, 2017 compared to total current assets of $2,989,713 and total current liabilities of $3,080,628, or working capital deficit of $90,915 at December 31, 2016.

We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues and sales of equity and convertible debt securities. Although as of September 30, 2017 we have cash of $1,764,389, we have$16.3 million compared to a working capital deficit of $333,434$15.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, we had undiscounted obligations relating to the payment of indebtedness as follows:

$11.8 million related to indebtedness that is due during the remainder of 2023; and

$0.6 million related to indebtedness that is due during 2024.

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the following developments should be noted:

an additional promissory note with a face value of $0.3 million was issued.

Our future capital requirements for our operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of our businesses, and incurredthe costs of our operations. We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a net loss from operationsdecrease in the market price of $6,926,527. Furthermore, the Company hasour common stock. Debt financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a historygoing concern. At March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of negative cash flow from operations, primarily due to historically heavy investment in research$302.5 million and development and costs associated with maintainingwe had a public entity. While we expect a substantial reduction in research and development costs, we believe our existing working capital and access to capital are sufficientdeficit of $16.3 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our historical operating results, accumulated deficit and working capital, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein, we presently only have enough cash on hand to operate on a month-to-month basis, without raising additional capital or selling assets. Because of our limited cash availability, our operations forhave been scaled back to the next 12 months.

extent possible. We continue to explore opportunities with third parties and related parties to provide additional capital; however, we have not entered into any agreement to provide the necessary capital. In anticipationthe near term, there will be limited opportunities to raise capital of increased sales resulting fromsignificance until our developing product pipeline,Nasdaq compliance issues are resolved, as discussed in Nasdaq Compliance Developments herein.

We will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet our future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that we may undertake, and these planned actions do not alleviate the substantial doubt. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on August 2, 2017,a timely basis, we completed financing transactions that provide us with upmay have to $4,000,000 in cashdelay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and extended the maturity date on $3,000,000results of convertible debt until April 2019 providing us with significant increased liquidityoperations, and a strengthened balance sheet. The following is a summary of these completed financing transaction:

The Company will pay to CNB a late charge of 5.0% of any monthly payment not received by Lender within 10 calendar days after its due date. The Company may prepay the note at any time without penalty. In the event of a default, the interest rate will increase to the highest lawful rate. The Company is obligated to maintain depository accounts with CNB with a minimum average annual balance of $600,000.

In addition, to secure our obligations under the note, we entered into a security agreement in favor of CNB (the “Security Agreement”) encumbering all of our accounts, inventorywhich mitigating plans sufficiently alleviate any such substantial doubt requires significant judgment and equipment along with an assignment of a bank account we maintain at CNB with an approximate balance of $90,000.

The Company may request advances of principal under this note equal to and at the same time as it requests advances, if any, pursuant to the CNB Note.

If the Company does not prepay the note in full or the holder does not convert the note before the maturity date, the Company may pay the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the maturity date with cash or with common stock or through a combination of cash and stock at Frost Nevada’s discretion. The conversion price under the note is $1.00 per share subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. The Series 2017 Convertible Note is secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. This security interest is subordinate to the security interest of CNB discussed above.

The Convertible Note Amendments provide that an event of default in the City National Bank Loan will be treated as an event of default under the Convertible Notes.

Accrued interest may be paid with: (i) cash; (ii) the issuance and delivery to the holder of shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price provided for in the Series 2016 Convertible Note; or (iii) any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the holder in its sole discretion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We dodid not have any off balanceoff-balance sheet arrangements that materiallyhave had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

TheThere have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully describedas set forth in Note 1 of the Financial StatementsCompany’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2017. As disclosed therein, the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.2022.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:

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

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue:

The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered; 3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. We record unearned revenue as a liability and the associated costs of sales as work in process inventory. There is a balance of $34,549 in accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 for employee commission advances and no balance in unearned revenue.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

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

Stock-Based Compensation:

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

ITEMItem 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESControls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, withThe term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the participationSecurities Exchange Act of our1934. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefActing Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizesreport. Based upon that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Management, with the participation ofevaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefActing Principal Financial and Accounting Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017the end of the period covered by this report.

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the reasons discussed below. In addition,fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, management identifiedconcluded that the following material weaknesses that were first identified in its assessment of the effectiveness of2021, continued to exist in our disclosure controls and procedures asprocedures:

we do not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of our accounting staff;

there is a lack of timely reconciliations of account balances; and

there is a lack of documented and tested internal controls to meet the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Our remediation of September 30, 2017:

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

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies,weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the determination that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as of June 30, 2017, and that there was a material weakness as identified in this Quarterly Report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered hereby in all material respects.

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Smaller reporting companiesReaders should carefully review the risk factors included under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023.

Our stockholders’ equity fails to meet the minimum requirement for continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that because the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was ($15,001,000), we do not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and do not otherwise satisfy the alternative minimum requirements for market value of listed securities ($35 million) or net income from continuing operations ($500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years), and therefore the Company’s securities are subject to delisting.

The Company previously requested and was granted a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), as well as a further stay of any suspension action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its plan to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing criteria and request an extension to do so. If the Panel denies the Company’s request for continued listing or if the Company is unable to evidence compliance within any extension of time that may be granted by the Panel, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted and, as such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq. If we are not requiredable to provideregain compliance or maintain compliance, our common stock, warrants, and 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (collectively our “securities”) will be suspended and subject to delisting from Nasdaq.

If our securities were delisted from Nasdaq, among other things, it would likely lead to a number of negative implications, including an adverse effect on the information requiredprice of our securities, reduced liquidity in our securities, no market for our securities and no ability for you to sell our securities, greater difficulty in obtaining financing, potential loss of confidence by this Item.employees, loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

On or about May 25, 2022, the Company announced that it had suspended the payment on the Series A Preferred Stock to preserve cash. Since June 20, 2022, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are accruing at the rate of approximately $61,664 per month. The total arrearage on the date of filing for the accrued dividends is approximately $1,171,616.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except for limited voting rights, including if the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for 18 or more monthly periods (whether or not consecutive). On November 18, 2023, we reached 18 monthly periods of dividend arrears. Therefore, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote at either (i) a special meeting called upon the written request of the holders of at least 25% of the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) at our next annual meeting and each subsequent annual or special meeting of stockholders for the election of two additional directors to serve on our board of directors until all unpaid dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid.
