NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of cash flows as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 and 20162021 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included to make the Company’s financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 and its results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 not misleading. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any full year or any other interim period.

 

The CompanyCOVID-19 pandemic has evaluated eventsimpacted the global and United States economies. Federal, state, and local governments implemented certain travel restrictions, “stay-at-home” orders, and social distancing initiatives which have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2017,negatively impacted our operations and through the datethose of our customers. As a result of the filingCOVID-19 pandemic, on March 17, 2020 all sightseeing tour operations at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport ceased. On July 20, 2020, New York City started Phase 4 of the city’s reopening. Sightseeing tour operators at the heliport restarted operations under this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred after the current reporting period.phase.

 

For the period July 20, 2020 through March 31, 2022, sightseeing tour operators experienced much lower demand for tours as compared to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Beginning in April 2022, sightseeing tour operators have seen an increase in activity and a much higher demand for tours. There can be no assurance that this increased activity will continue as demand for sightseeing tours will depend on future developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and spread and related travel advisories and restrictions and the impact on overall demand for air travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a less substantial impact on our operations at our Kansas FBO and MRO.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for all share-basedstock-based payment awards are based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For each of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2022 and 2016,2021, the Company incurred stock-based compensation costs of $25,496.$22,998 and $17,196, respectively.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2022, the unamortized fair value of the options totaled $7,500.$22,997 and the weighted average remaining amortization period of the options approximated five years.

 

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions,, including the expected life of the option. In management's opinion, the use of such option valuation models does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Management holds this view partly becauseBecause the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and also because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the” FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018, and, at that time, we may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications affected the Company’s net (loss) income in any period.

The terms “the Company,”“we,” “us,”“we”, “us”, and “our” are used below to refer collectively to Saker Aviation Services, Inc.the Company and the subsidiaries through which our various businesses are actually conducted.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Saker Aviation Services, Inc. is a Nevada corporation.corporation. Our common stock, $0.001$0.03 par value per share (the “common stock”), is publicly tradedquoted on the OTCQB Marketplace (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “SKAS”. Through our subsidiaries, we operate in the aviation services segment of the general aviation industry, in which we serve as the operator of a heliport, a fixed base operation (“FBO”), and as a provider of aircraft maintenance and repair and overhaulservices (“MRO”) services, and as a consultant for a seaplane base that we do not own.. FBOs provide ground-based services, such as fueling and aircraft storage for general aviation, commercial and military aircraft, and other miscellaneous services.

 

We were formed on January 17, 2003 as a proprietorship and were incorporated in Arizona on January 2, 2004. We became a public company as a result of a reverse merger transaction on August 20, 2004 with Shadows Bend Development, Inc., an inactive public Nevada corporation,, and subsequently changed our name to FBO Air, Inc. On December 12, 2006, we changed our name to FirstFlight, Inc. On September 2, 2009, we changed our name to Saker Aviation Services, Inc.

 

Our business activities are carried out as the operator of the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport (the “Heliport”, and as an FBO and MRO at the Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport, and as a consultant to the operator of a seaplane base in New York City.Airport.

 

The Garden City facility became part of our company as a result of our acquisition of the FBO assets of Central Plains Aviation, Inc. in March 2005. Our Garden City facility began offering maintenance services in October 2016 as a result of our acquisition of all of the capital stock2005 and of Aircraft Services, Inc. (“Aircraft Services”).in October 2016.

 

Our business activities at the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport facility (the “Heliport”) commenced as a result ofin November 2008 when we were awarded the Company’s award of a Concession Agreement by the City of New York to operate the Heliport, which we assigned to our subsidiary, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC d/b/a Saker Aviation Services. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.Services (“FFH”).

 

The FBO segmentCOVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global and United States economies. Federal, state, and local governments implemented certain travel restrictions, “stay-at-home” orders, and social distancing initiatives which negatively impacted our operations and those of our customers. As a result of the general aviation industry is highly fragmented. According to the National Air Transportation Association (“NATA”), there are over 3,000 FBOs that serve customers at one or more of over 3,000 airport facilities across the country that have at least one paved 3,000-foot runway. The vast majority of these entities are single location operators. NATA characterizes companies withCOVID-19 pandemic, on March 17, 2020 all sightseeing tour operations at three or more airports as “chains.” An operation with FBOs in at least two distinctive regionsthe Downtown Manhattan Heliport ceased. On July 20, 2020, New York City started Phase 4 of the country is consideredcity’s reopening. Sightseeing tour operators at the heliport restarted operations under this phase.

For the period July 20, 2020 through March 31, 2022, sightseeing tour operators experienced much lower demand for tours as compared to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Beginning in April 2022, sightseeing tour operators have seen an increase in activity and a “national” chain while an operation with FBOsmuch higher demand for tours. There can be no assurance that this increased activity will continue as demand for sightseeing tours will depend on future developments in multiple locations withinthe COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and spread and related travel advisories and restrictions and the impact on overall demand for air travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a single region is considered a “regional” chain.less substantial impact on our operations at our Kansas FBO and MRO.

Our long-term strategy is to increase our sales through growth within our aviation services operations. To do so, we may expand our geographic reach and product offering through strategic acquisitions and improved market penetration within the markets we serve.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018, and, at that time, we may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
