Stock BasedStock-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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 2016,2022, the Company incurred stock-based compensation costs of $25,496.$25,500 and $11,499, respectively. Such amounts have been recorded as part of the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the unamortized fair value of the options totaled $7,500.$76,500 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.

OVERVIEW

 

Saker Aviation 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”), as a provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (“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.heliport.

 

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 until October 31, 2022 as an FBOa fixed base operation (“FBO”) and MROa provider of aircraft maintenance and repair services (“MRO”) at the Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport,Airport. FBOs provide ground-based services, such as fueling and as a consultant to the operator of a seaplane base in New York City.

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 business activities at the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport facility (the “New York 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 New York 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.

 

We believe the tourism industry has been historically cyclical, with revenue correlated to general U.S. economic conditions. Although not truly seasonal in nature, the spring and summer months tend to generate higher levels of revenue and our operations generally follow that trend. The FBO segmentCOVID-19 pandemic contributed to a decline in travel and tourism related businesses and general economic conditions in the United States and significantly disrupted our business and operations in the year ended December 31, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, as well as disrupted business operations in the United States and globally. Beginning in April 2022, sightseeing tour operators saw 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 of the general aviation industry is highly fragmented. According toCOVID-19 pandemic, including 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 with operations at three or more airports as “chains.” An operation with FBOs in at least two distinctive regions of the country is considered a “national” chain while an operation with FBOs in multiple locations within a single region is considered a “regional” chain.duration and spread and any future related travel advisories and restrictions and associated impact on overall demand for air travel.

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.

For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks or uncertainties, please see: (i) “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” and “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC and the additional risks described below.

We could be adversely affected by the loss of our Temporary Use Authorization Agreement with the City of New York.

Our Concession Agreement with the City of New York expired on April 30, 2023. On February 15, 2023, NYCEDC reported that it would be bringing a new concession agreement with us as the operator of the New York Heliport to the New York City Franchise and Concession Review Committee meeting on March 3, 2023. The item was subsequently removed from the agenda, with NYCEDC announcing on April 7, 2023 that the previous Request for Proposals ("RFP") had been cancelled and that it is their intention to put out a new RFP in 2023.

We entered into a Temporary Use Authorization Agreement (the “Use Agreement”), effective as of May 1, 2023, with the City of New York acting by and through the New York City of Department of Small Business Services (“DSBS”). The Use Agreement has a term of one year. Pursuant to the terms of the Use Agreement, we have been granted the exclusive right to operate as the fixed base operator for the New York Heliport and collect all revenue derived from the New York Heliport operations. In addition to terminations for an event of default, the Use Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Commissioner of the DSBS or suspended at any time by the NYCEDC. We are required under the Use Agreement to remit a monthly administrative fee to the NYCEDC in the amount of $5,000. We expect that the NYCEDC will conduct a request for proposal for a new concession agreement to govern the operation of the New York Heliport. We are in negotiations with the NYCEDC regarding an additional agreement that will govern our use of the New York Heliport while the RFP process is ongoing, which we expect will clarify the economic relationship between the parties, including additional fees for our operation of the New York Heliport.

All of our business is conducted and reliant on the New York Heliport. Any disruption in business at the New York Heliport or additional restrictions imposed on the operations of the New York Heliport by the NYCEDC could adversely impact our results of operations. Additionally, our business depends on us remaining as the operator of the New York Heliport. If the Use Agreement expires or is terminated early pursuant to its terms without us having a further agreement in place for our continued operation of the New York Heliport, our business would be adversely affected and we would be required to cease all operations.

If we submit an RFP but are not awarded the contract, our operations will be materially adversely affected.

We currently operate the New York Heliport pursuant to the Use Agreement. The NYCEDC announced on April 7, 2023 that it is their intention to put out a new RFP in 2023 to govern the use of the New York Heliport. We expect to submit our best proposal once the RFP is commenced by the NYCEDC. There is no guarantee that any proposal we submit to an RFP for operating the New York Heliport will be accepted or that we will be awarded a contract to operate the New York Heliport under any RFP. If we submit a proposal to an RFP and are not chosen, our business will be materially adversely affected and we may be required to cease all operations.
