Note 1 – BasisDescription of PresentationBusiness

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (“AgEagle” or “the Company”) designs, produces and supports technologically-advanced small, unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs” or “drones”). In addition, to providing new utility to UAVs, the Company pioneers and innovates advanced aerial imaging data collection and analytics technologies capable of addressing the impending food and environmental sustainability crises that threaten our planet. Historically, the Company’s daily efforts have focused on delivering the tools and strategies necessary to define and implement commercial drone construction and delivery, along with sustainability and precision farming solutions that solve important problems confronting the global agricultural industry. In fact, AgEagle, has spent ten years serving customers covering more than two million acres in 50 countries and monitoring 53 different crops. AgEagle remains intent on earning distinction as a trusted partner to clients seeking to adopt and support productive agricultural approaches to better farming practices which limit the impact on our natural resources, reduce reliance on inputs and materially increase crop yields and profits.

In addition to UAV sales, in late 2018, the Company introduced a new drone-leasing program, alleviating farmers and agribusinesses from significant upfront costs associated with purchasing a drone, while also relieving them from ongoing drone maintenance and support requirements. Additionally, the new program provides the option of engaging a trained AgEagle pilot to operate the drone and manage the entire image collection process, creating a true turnkey aerial imagery capture solution for its customers.

In the first half of 2019, the Company introduced HempOverview, a scalable, responsive and cost-effective Software-as-a-Solution (“SaaS”) web- and map-based technology platform to support the operations of domestic industrial hemp programs for state and tribal nation departments of agriculture, growers and processors – a solution that provides users with what the Company believes is the gold standard for regulatory oversight, operational assistance and reporting capabilities for the fast emerging industrial hemp industry.

In the third quarter of 2019, AgEagle announced that it had begun to actively pursue expansion opportunities within the emerging Drone Logistics and Transportation market and revealed that it had received its first purchase orders from a major ecommerce company to manufacture and assemble UAVs designed to meet the critical specifications for drones that are meant to carry packaged goods in urban and suburban areas.

Central to the Company’s long-term growth strategy, AgEagle will continue to identify opportunities to leverage its proprietary technological platform and industry expertise to penetrate new, high growth market sectors that may benefit from the Company’s advanced aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions.

Note 1 – Description of Business – Continued

Corporate History; Recent Business Combination

On March 26, 2018, our predecessor company, EnerJex Resources, Inc. (“EnerJex”), a Nevada company, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 19, 2017, pursuant to which AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex, merged with and into AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc., a privately held company organized under the laws of the state of Nevada (“AgEagle Sub”), with AgEagle Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, EnerJex changed its name to AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company, “we,” “our,” or “us”) and AgEagle Sub changed its name initially to “Eagle Aerial, Inc. and then to” AgEagle Aerial, Inc.

On August 28, 2018, we closed the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2018 with AgEagle Aerial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; Agribotix, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Agribotix” or the “Seller”); and the other parties named therein. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we acquired all right, title and interest in and to all assets owned by Agribotix, which included Agribotix’s primary product, FarmLens™, utilized in their business for providing integrated agricultural drone solutions and drone-enabled software technologies and services for precision agriculture.

 

The Company believes that purchasing FarmLens benefitted us and our shareholders by developing important vertically integrated products and services. FarmLens is a subscription cloud analytics service that processes data, primarily collected with a drone such as those produced by AgEagle; and makes such data actionable by farmers and agronomists. FarmLens is currently sold by AgEagle as a subscription service and offered either standalone or in a bundle with drone platforms manufactured by leading drone providers like AgEagle, DJI and senseFly.

To date, FarmLens has processed agricultural imagery for approximately two million acres of crops and analyzed data for over 53 different crop types from over 50 countries around the world.

In late September 2020, the Company began relocating its headquarters and drone manufacturing operations from Neodesha, Kansas to Wichita, Kansas.

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. In response to the pandemic, many states and jurisdictions in which we operate have issued stay-at-home orders and other measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus. We initially closed our offices only and had our executive and administrative staff work remotely. Our manufacturing operations continued operating however we experienced delays with some of our ongoing projects in terms of completion due to vendor delays. We continue to follow guidance from local authorities in determining the appropriate restrictions to put in place for our offices and manufacturing facility, such as social distancing and limited capacities, to ensure the health and safety of our employees. As of the date of this filing, our locations and primary suppliers continue to operate. We may experience constrained supply or other business disruptions that could materially impact our business, results of operations and overall financial performance in future periods.

Merger Agreement

On October 19, 2017, EnerJex entered into an AgreementBasis of Presentation and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AgEagle”), which designs, develops, produces,Consolidation These interim condensed consolidated statements are presented in United States dollars and distributes technologically advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or drones) that are supplied to the agriculture industry, and AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into AgEagle, Merger Sub will cease to exist and AgEagle will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The respective boards of directors of EnerJex and AgEagle have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the shares of AgEagle capital stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive equal to 85% of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. In addition, at the Effective Time all outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of AgEagle common stock will be assumed by the Company and converted into options and warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock. No fractional shares of Company common stock will be issued in the Merger but will be rounded to the nearest whole share. Following the consummation of the Merger, former stockholders of AgEagle with respect to the Merger are expected to own 85% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (inclusive of the AgEagle assumed stock options and warrants), and current common and Series A Preferred stockholders of the Company are expected to own 15% of the Company, excluding shares of common stock that may be issued in connection with the conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, and not including any additional shares which may be issued in connection with the Company’s closing obligation to provide up to $4 million in new working capital and the elimination of all liabilities currently on the Company’s balance sheet.

In connection with the Merger, the Company will also file a proxy statement seeking stockholder approval to: (a) amend the terms of its Series A Preferred Stock (as discussed below); (b) approve the issuance of the Company’s shares in connection with the Merger to the AgEagle shareholders and new investors, in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock; (c) approve the issuance of shares to current Company management and directors in lieu of deferred salary and fees, a majority of which will be held in escrow to secure the Company’s indemnity obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (d) change the name of the Company to “AgEagle Aerial Resources, Inc.


The Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the Effective Time, the existing board of directors and officers of the Company will resign and new directors and officers will be appointed by AgEagle.

The Company intends to dispose of its principal assets, consisting primarily of its Kansas oil and gas properties, concurrently with the closing of the Merger. In the event the Merger is not consummated, the Company does not have a present intention to dispose of the above described assets.

The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including, among other things: (a) the approval of the stockholders of the Company and AgEagle; (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each of the Company and AgEagle and the compliance by each of the Company and AgEagle with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; (c) approval of the stockholders of the Company for the issuance of its common stock and any other securities (x) to the AgEagle stockholders in connection with the Merger and (y) in connection with the financing transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) approval for the listing of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the Merger and other related transactions on the NYSE American; and (e) that all of the Company’s assets as disclosed shall have been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and the corresponding debt and liabilities shall have been extinguished. The Company’s existing cash resources are insufficient to satisfy all of its outstanding liabilities. Accordingly, in order to satisfy the condition and consummate the Merger, the Company will be required to raise additional funding prior to the closing of the Merger, the failure of which could result in the Company’s failure to consummate the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants obligating each of the Company and AgEagle to continue to conduct its respective business in the ordinary course, to provide reasonable access to each other’s information and to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate and coordinate to make any filings or submissions that are required to be made under any applicable laws or requested to be made by any government authority in connection with the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains a customary “no solicitation” provision pursuant to which, prior to the earlier of January 31, 2018, or the completion or termination of the Merger, neither the Company nor AgEagle may solicit or engage in discussions with any third party regarding another acquisition proposal unless, in the Company’s case, it has received an unsolicited, bona fide written proposal that the recipient’s board of directors determines is or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal. The Company has paid AgEagle a $50,000 non-refundable fee at the signing of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of the Company and AgEagle.

In addition, the Merger Agreement contains provisions for indemnification in the event of any damages suffered by either party as a result of breaches of representations and warranties contained therein. The aggregate maximum indemnification obligation of any indemnifying party for damages with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $350,000, other than fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach. An indemnifying party shall satisfy its indemnification obligations with shares of Company common stock equal to the aggregate amount of losses of the indemnified party, calculated based upon the greater of (i) the value of the Company common stock as of the closing of the Merger; and (ii) the average closing price of the Company common stock on the NYSE American for the five trading days immediately prior to the date such a claim is made. The Company has agreed to deposit an aggregate of 1,215,278 shares of common stock to be issued to current officers and directors of the Company in lieu of deferred salary and fees into escrow to secure its indemnification obligations, the issuance of such shares requiring the approval of the Company’s common stockholders.

In connection with, and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the Company is seeking the consent of the holder of its Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to amend the terms thereof to: (i) allow the Company to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends up to September 30, 2017 in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock based on the value of the liquidation preference thereof, (ii) eliminate the right of the Series A Preferred Stock holders to receive any dividends accruing after September 30, 2017, and (iii) convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into 10 shares of Company common stock. An affirmative vote of 66.7% of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class as of the record date of the proxy statement is required to amend the terms of the Certificate of Designation to provide for these changes, as required under the Merger Agreement.


As of September 30, 2017, the Series A Preferred Stock had accrued a total of $6,039,972 in accrued but unpaid dividends, which would result in an additional 241,599 shares of Series A Preferred Stock being issued by the Company to satisfy these accrued dividends.

The Merger Agreement provides either party the right to terminate the Merger if it has not been consummated by January 31, 2018, provided that if all of the conditions to closing shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied at such time, the required closing date may be extended until March 31, 2018.

Financing Transactions

On October 3, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, and other financial institutions and banks that may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to time (“TCB” or “Bank”). The facilities provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were to be used to refinance a prior outstanding revolving loan facility with TCB dated July 3, 2008, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. On August 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Among other things the Eighth Amendment extended the maturity of the Agreement by three years to October 3, 2018. On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into a Tenth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Among other things, the Tenth Amendment established the requirement of monthly borrowing base reductions commencing September 1, 2015 and continuing on the first of each month thereafter. On November 13, 2015, the Company entered into an Eleventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment reflects the following changes: (i) waived certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, (ii) suspended certain hedging requirements, and (iii) amended certain other items of the Credit Agreement.

On April 1, 2016, the Company informed the Bank that it would cease making the mandatory monthly borrowing base reduction payments and did not make the required April 1, 2016 payment. The Company made its mandatory quarterly interest payment on April 6, 2016 and on April 7, 2016, entered into a Forbearance Agreement whereby the Bank agreed to not exercise remedies and rights afforded it under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for thirty days. On May 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank amended the Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance period to August 31, 2016. On July 29, 2016, the Company and the Bank amended the Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance period to October 1, 2016. Upon the expiration of the Third Forbearance agreement, the Company did not enter into a Fourth Forbearance Agreement. Also, at that time the Company discontinued payment of interest on its outstanding loan obligations with the Bank.

Throughout 2016, the Company evaluated plans to restructure, amend or refinance existing debt through private options. On February 14, 2017, the Company announced that a group of investors unrelated to the Company had purchased from EnerJex’s secured bank lender all rights to the Company’s secured indebtedness, and that EnerJex had executed a definitive written agreement for the discharge of the Company’s secured indebtedness with the purchasing investor group. Final closing on this agreement occurred on May 10, 2017.

On February 10, 2017, the Company, TCB and IberiaBank (collectively, “Sellers”), and PWCM Investment Company IC LLC, and certain financial institutions (collectively, “Buyers”) entered into a Loan Sale Agreement (“LSA”), pursuant to which Sellers sold to Buyers, and Buyers purchased from Sellers, all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, in exchange for (i) a cash payment of $5,000,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), (ii) a Synthetic Equity Interest equal to 10% of the proceeds, after Buyer’s realization of a 150% return on the Cash Purchase Price within five (5) years of the closing date of the sale, with payment being distributed 65.78947368% to TCB and 34.21052632% to IberiaBank, and (iii) at any time prior to February 10, 2022, Buyer may acquire the interest in clause (ii) above. In connection with the LSA, the Company released Sellers and its successors as holders of the rights under the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, including Buyers, from any and all claims under the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents.


Also on February 10, 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries, and successor lender entered into a binding letter agreement dated February 10, 2017, which was subsequently amended on March 30, 2017 (as amended, the “letter agreement”) pursuant to which:

1.the successor lender agreed to forgive our existing secured loan in the approximate principal amount of $17,295,000, and in exchange entered into a secured promissory note (which we refer to as the “restated secured note”) in the original principal amount of $4,500,000.

2.we:

a.conveyed our oil and gas properties and associated performance and surety bonds in Colorado, Texas, and Nebraska;

b.conveyed all of our shares of Oakridge Energy, Inc. (together, the “conveyed oil and gas assets”); and

c.retained our assets in Kansas and continued as a going concern. The Kansas assets currently provide most of our current operating revenue.

The restated secured note:

a.is secured by a first-priority lien in the Company’s oil and gas producing assets situated in the State of Kansas,

b.evidences accrued interest on the $4,500,000 principal balance at a rate of 16% per annum,

c.bears interest from and after May 1, 2017, at a rate of 16.0% per annum,

d.is pre-payable in full at a discount at any time during the term of the restated secured note upon EnerJex paying $3,300,000 to successor lender, and

e.matures and is due and payable in full on November 1, 2017.

We have two options to extend the maturity date of the restated secured note by 90 days each (first to January 30, 2018 and then to April 30, 2018), upon payment of extension fees of $100,000 for each extension.

So long as we repay the $3,300,000 in indebtedness on or prior to the maturity date, as extended, all other amounts payable under the restated secured note are to be forgiven.

The closing occurred on May 10, 2017. As part of the closing procedures and net settlement, we issued a promissory note to Pass Creek Resources LLC in the amount of $105,806. The promissory bears interest at 16% per annum and matured on June 9, 2017. The amount due was not paid on June 9, 2017, but the holder has not provided the Company a notice of default.

In connection with the May 10, 2017 closing and in consideration of the satisfaction of $13,425,000 of the amount due under the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries transferred to PCR Holdings LLC, an affiliate of the successor lenders under the Credit Agreement, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties and assets located in Colorado, Texas, and Nebraska, as well as the Company’s shares of Oakridge Energy, Inc.

To evidence the Company’s remaining $4,500,000 of indebtedness to PWCM Investment Company IC LLC (“PWCM”), RES Investment Group, LLC (“RES”), Round Rock Development Partners, LP (“Round Rock”), and Cibolo Holdings, LLC (“Cibolo Holdings,” and together with PWCM, RES and Round Rock, “Successor Lenders”), the Company’s subsidiaries (except Kansas Holdings, LLC) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the other financial institutions and banks parties thereto (the “New Credit Agreement”), and a related Amended and Restated Note (the “New Note”), in the amount of $3.3 million as described above.


Our subsidiaries’ obligations under the credit agreement and note are non-recourse and are secured by a first-priority lien in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ oil properties and assets located in Kansas. The Company was removed as a borrower under the Credit Agreement, but entered into a Guaranty of Recourse Carveouts, pursuant to which the Company guarantees its subsidiaries’ payment of certain fees and expenses due under the Credit Agreement, and may be liable for certain conduct, such as fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, and waste of the Kansas oil properties or assets.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America onStates. The Company has elected a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, theDecember 31 fiscal year end.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverabilityaccounts of assetsAgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The facilities provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were used to refinance the Borrowers’ prior outstanding revolving loan facility with the Bank, dated July 3, 2008, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.


At our option, loans under the facility will bear stated interest based on the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin, or Floating Rate plus Floating Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate will be, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (b) the Bank’s prime rate. The Floating Rate shall mean, at Borrower’s option, a per annum interest rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus Eurodollar Margin, or (ii) the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Eurodollar borrowings may be for one, two, three, or nine months, as selected by the Borrowers. The margins for all loans are based on a pricing grid ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% for the Base Rate Margin and 2.25% to 3.00% for the Floating Rate Margin based on the Company’s Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).

The Company made its mandatory quarterly interest payment on April 6, 2016 and on April 7, 2016 entered into a Forbearance Agreement whereby the Banks agreed to not exercise remedies and rights afforded it under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for thirty days. On May 31, 2016, the Company and the Banks amended the Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance period to August 31, 2016.

Below is a table showingReceivables and Credit PolicyTrade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the reconciliationinvoice date. Terms with our distributor allow for payment terms of 45 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. The Company generally does not charge interest on overdue customer account balances. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the gaincurrent status of receivables, historical experience and other factors, as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The Company determined that no allowance was necessary as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Inventories  Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on LSA as set forthhand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a provision for obsolescence of $10,000.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for the impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets from acquired businesses are recognized at fair value on the statementacquisition date and consist of operationscustomer programs, trademarks, customer relationships, technology and other intangible assets. Customer programs include values assigned to major programs of acquired businesses and represent the aggregate value associated with the customer relationships, contracts, technology and trademarks underlying the associated program and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of expected cash flows used to measure fair value, which ranges from four to five years.

Revenue Recognition and Concentration – The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated pursuant to written contractual arrangements to develop, manufacture and/or modify complex drone-related products, and to provide associated engineering, technical and other services according to customer specifications. These contracts are at a fixed price and are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, it will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. The Company accounts for a contract after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

The Company generally recognizes revenue on sales to customers, dealers and distributors upon satisfaction of performance obligations, which generally occurs once controls transfer to customers, which is when product is shipped or delivered depending on specific shipping terms. Additionally, customers are required to place a deposit or pay upon shipping for each UAV or drone delivery assembly part ordered. Customer payments received in advance of the Company completing performance obligations are recorded as contract liabilities.

Subscription services for use of the Company’s proprietary FarmLens and HempOverview platforms are recognized ratably over the membership period as the services are provided.

Sales concentration information for customers comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales is summarized below:

  Percent of total sales for nine months

Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, the Company must perform a ceiling test each quarter on its proved oil and natural gas assets within each separate cost center. All of the Company’s costs are included in one cost center as all of the Company’s operations are located in the United States. The Company’s ceiling test was calculated using trailing twelve-month, unweighted-average first-day-of-the-month prices for oil and natural gas as of September 30, 2017, which were based on a West Texas Intermediate oil price of $42.46 per Bbl and a Henry Hub natural gas price of $2.63 per Mcf (adjusted for basis and quality differentials), respectively.periods presented.

WeIncome Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize future accrued dividendsinterest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. All income tax returns not filed more than three years ago are subject to federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation Awards The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of $879,608compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and $2,638,823directors. For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using a closed option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period, and the related amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes forfeitures at the time they occur.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial statements. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 effective January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued Account Standards Update 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions whereby lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for our Series A Preferred Stockvirtually all their leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP — which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet — the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as the Company currently has no leases with a term of more than twelve months at the time of adoption

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The update simplifies the process for assessing goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance removes the second step that was previously required. Under this ASU, impairment charges to goodwill are based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value to its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2019 and applied the guidance to the annual impairment test (see Note 5).

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This ASU removes or modifies current disclosures while adding certain new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for the removed or modified disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures can be adopted retrospectively, and the added disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Promissory Notes

On May 6, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $107,439 from the Small Business Administration (SBA) as part of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act’s Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP). The loan is unsecured, nonrecourse, accrues interest at one percent per annum, with a due date of May 6, 2022. Under the terms of the loan, a portion or all of the loan is forgivable to the extent that the loan proceeds are used to fund qualifying payroll, rent and utilities during a designated twenty-four-week period through October 21, 2020.

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years and can be extended to five years if agreed upon by both parties and bears interest at a rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, there can be no assurance that the Company will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.

As part of the liabilities assumed from the Merger, the Company recorded a promissory note for a principal amount of $125,556 and accrued interest of $4,171 payable over twelve months and maturing on March 27, 2019.

Upon the Warrant Down Round being triggered, the Company recognized $208,918 of a deemed dividend for the difference between the fair value of the original warrants right before modification and the fair value of the modified warrants. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: expected life of 3.5 years, expected dividend rate of 0%, volatility of 90.0%, and an interest rate of 0.29%. The deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders was a recorded as additional paid in capital and a reduction of retained earnings and as an increase to net loss attributable to common stockholders in computing earnings per share on the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations.

On June 5, 2020, the Company and Alpha entered into a letter agreement whereby they agreed to amend the Original Series D Preferred Stock and terminate the Purchase Agreement. Alpha is a current holder of less than 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and has no material relationship with the Company.

On June 5, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Original Series D Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation for Nevada Profit Corporations with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Original Series D Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation”). The amendment among other things, (i) provided for the ability of the Holder to convert the Original Series D, including all accrued, but unpaid dividends on the Original Series D, into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company, (ii) set a conversion price at $0.54 per share (subject to customary adjustments), and (iii) increased the stated value of the Original Series D from $1,000 to $1,116.67. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Series D Preferred Stock was filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada effective as of June 8, 2020.

The holder of the Original Series D approved the amendment to the Original Series D. There is no class or series of stock which is senior to the Original Series D as to the payment of distributions upon dissolution of the Company, and therefore the approval of any other class or series of stock of the Company to the amendments to the Original Series D Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation is not required pursuant to Nevada law.

On the date of the above amendment to the Original Series D Preferred Stock the fair value of the Company’s common stock price was $1.45 which is higher than the effective conversion price of $0.54 that was agreed to on June 5th, 2020. Due to the modification of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $3,763,591 representing the intrinsic value of $0.91 multiplied by the number of common stock shares to be issued upon conversion.

Company Overview

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (“AgEagle” or “the Company”) designs, produces and Black Raven Energy, Inc. unlesssupports technologically-advanced small, unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs” or “drones”). In addition, providing new utility to UAVs, we pioneer and innovate advanced aerial imaging data collection and analytics technologies capable of addressing the context requires otherwise.impending food and environmental sustainability crises that threaten our planet. Historically, our daily efforts have focused on delivering the tools and strategies necessary to define and implement commercial drone construction and delivery, along with sustainability and precision farming solutions that solve important problems confronting the global agricultural industry. We reporthave spent ten years serving customers, covering more than two million acres in 50 countries monitoring 53 different crops. AgEagle remains intent on earning distinction as a trusted partner to clients seeking to adopt and support productive agricultural approaches to better farming practices which limit the impact on our financial informationnatural resources, reduce reliance on the basis of a December 31 fiscal year end.inputs and materially increase crop yields and profits.

 

In addition unlessto UAV sales, in late 2018, we introduced a new drone-leasing program, alleviating farmers and agribusinesses from significant upfront costs associated with purchasing a drone, while also relieving them from ongoing drone maintenance and support requirements. Additionally, the context otherwise requiresnew program provides the option of engaging a trained AgEagle pilot to operate the drone and manage the entire image collection process, creating a truly turnkey aerial imagery capture solution for its customers.

In the first half of 2019, we introduced HempOverview, a scalable, responsive and cost-effective Software-as-a-Solution (“SaaS”) web- and map-based technology platform to support the operations of domestic industrial hemp programs for state and tribal nation departments of agriculture, growers and processors – a solution that provides users with what we believe is the gold standard for regulatory oversight, operational assistance and reporting capabilities for the purposesfast emerging industrial hemp industry.

In the third quarter of 2019, AgEagle announced that it had begun to actively pursue expansion opportunities within the emerging Drone Logistics and Transportation market and revealed that it had received its first purchase orders from a major ecommerce company to manufacture and assemble UAVs designed to meet the critical specifications for drones that are meant to carry packaged goods in urban and suburban areas.

Central to our long-term growth strategy, we will continue to identify opportunities to leverage our proprietary technological platform and industry expertise to penetrate new, high growth market sectors that may benefit from our advanced aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions.

Research and development activities are integral to our business and we follow a disciplined approach to investing our resources to create new technologies and solutions.

 Our business is seasonal in nature and, as a result, our revenue and expenses and associated revenue trends fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Commercial Drone Package Delivery

Over the past year, there has been a surge of prominent companies, including Alphabet (Google), FedEx, Intel, Qualcomm, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Alibaba, UPS, 7-Eleven, Uber and many others, actively developing commercial drone delivery service initiatives as part of their long-term strategic plans. These companies intend to leverage the latest in UAV technologies to deliver food, consumer products, medicines and other types of lightweight freight direct to consumers and businesses in the fastest, most cost efficient and environmentally responsible manner possible – a practical alternative to costly auto transport.

AgEagle’s proven expertise in manufacturing rugged, reliable and professional grade UAVs makes us a logical partner for designing, manufacturing and testing drone platforms in the fast growing package delivery market – a market forecasted by Research and Markets will climb to $11.2 billion by 2022 and subsequently rise to $29.06 billion by 2027. The anticipated growth of the industry is expected to be largely fueled by the high usage of drones in the ecommerce industry for delivery of products in rural areas, where automotive transport vehicles cannot readily reach or where deliveries take longer time to arrive.

In September 2019, we announced that we were actively pursuing expansion opportunities within the Drone Logistics and Transportation market, and reported that we had received our first purchase order from a major unnamed ecommerce company to manufacture and assemble UAVs designed to meet the critical specifications for drones that are meant to carry goods in urban and suburban areas. AgEagle is currently working in close collaboration with this report only:new customer on its tethered test flight operations and ongoing development. In association with the initial purchase order, AgEagle recorded its first revenues in the second half of 2019 and had recognized additional revenues from the project in the first quarter of 2020.

In the second quarter of 2020, we announced that we had received follow-on purchase orders from the ecommerce company client relating to the continued manufacture and assembly of drones used for the testing and refining of client’s commercial drone small delivery vehicles, systems and operations currently in development. Due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting delivery delays of components ordered from certain suppliers for this project, revenues associated with these purchase orders will be reported in the third quarter, ending September 30, 2020. It is our belief that we will continue to perpetuate and enhance our relationship with this customer on a moving-forward basis.

Our Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Business

Our first commercially available product was the AgEagle Classic, which was followed shortly thereafter by the RAPID System. As we improved and matured our product, we launched the RX-60 and subsequently our current UAV product, the RX-48. The success AgEagle has achieved with its legacy products, which we believe has carried over into the continued improvement of the RX-60 and RX-48, stems from AgEagle’s ability to invent and deliver advanced solutions utilizing its proprietary technologies and trade secrets that help farmers, agronomists and other precision agricultural professionals operate more effectively and efficiently. Our core technological capabilities, developed over five years of research and innovation, include a lightweight laminated shell that allows the UAV platform to perform under challenging flying conditions, a camera with a Near Infrared (NIR) filter, a rugged foot launcher (RX-60), and high-end software that automates drone flights and provides geo-referenced data. All of AgEagle’s proprietary UAVs are electrically powered, weigh approximately six pounds fully loaded, are capable of flying over approximately 400 acres (roughly 60 minutes of airtime) per flight from their launch location, and are configured to carry a camera with an NIR filter that uses near infrared images to capture crop data. Our leadership believes that these characteristics make its UAVs well suited for providing a complete aerial view of a farmer’s field to help precisely identify crop health and field conditions faster than any other method available.

Our UAVs were initially specifically designed to help farmers increase profits by pinpointing areas where nutrients or chemicals need to be applied, as opposed to traditional widespread land application processes, thus decreasing input costs, reducing the amount of chemicals applied and potentially increasing yields. AgEagle’s products were designed for busy agriculture professionals who do not have the time to process images on their computers, which some of its competitors require. The software can automatically take pictures from the camera, stitch the photos together through the cloud, and deliver a geo-referenced, high quality aerial map to the user’s desktop or tablet device using specialty precision agriculture software such as SST Software, SMS Software or most other agricultural software solutions. The result is a prescription or zone map that can then be used in a field computer that is typically found in a sprayer or applicator designed to drive through fields to precisely apply the amount of nutrients or chemicals required to continue or restore the production of healthy crops.

In addition to UAV sales, in late 2018, AgEagle introduced a new drone-leasing program, alleviating farmers and agribusinesses from significant upfront costs associated with purchasing a drone, while also relieving them from ongoing drone maintenance and support requirements. Additionally, the new program provides the option of engaging a trained AgEagle pilot to operate the drone and manage the entire image collection process, creating a truly turnkey aerial imagery capture solution for our customers.

HempOverview Platform

With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill in December 2018, industrial hemp is now recognized as an agricultural commodity, such as corn, wheat or soybeans.

More specifically, the 2018 Farm Bill authorizes state departments of agriculture, including agencies representing the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and any other territory or possession of the United States, and Indian tribal governments, to submit plans to the USDA applying for primary regulatory authority over the production of hemp in their respective state or tribal territory.

Table of Contents

As one of the agriculture industry’s leading pioneers of advanced aerial-image-based data collection and analytics solutions, AgEagle is intent on leveraging our expertise to champion the use of proven, advanced web- and map-based technologies as a means to streamline and ultimately standardize hemp cultivation in the United States. Growers need to be registered/permitted; crops need to be monitored and inspected; and enforcement operations must be established to ensure compliance with state and federal mandates. Through the introduction of HempOverview, AgEagle represents the first agriculture technology company to its knowledge to bring to market an advanced agtech

solution that is designed to meet the unique complexities and vigorous oversight, compliance and enforcement demands of the emerging American hemp industry and the unique needs and demands of its key stakeholders.

HempOverview is comprised of four modules:

1)Registration: secure, scalable software to handle all farmer and processer application and licensing matters.
2)Best Management Practices: iterative, intelligent data collection and analysis utilizing satellite imagery and advanced, proprietary algorithms to help farmers reduce input costs, avoid missteps, detect pest impacts and monitor water usage.
3)Oversight and Enforcement: integration of data management and satellite imagery to provide continuous monitoring of all hemp fields in the state, predict and respond to issues and assist in proper crop testing.
4)Reporting: generation of actionable reports for USDA requirements, legislative oversight and support of research institutions.

In November, 2019, AgEagle announced that the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (“FDACS”) had chosen the HempOverview solution to manage its online application submission and registration process for hemp growers and their farms and hemp fields in the State of Florida for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022. In addition, the Company has entered discussions with several other states across the nation, as well as with certain growers and processors, and expects to announce additional new HempOverview clients in 2020.

HempOverview focuses on simultaneously collecting data, analyzing field-related problems and providing readily accessible analysis and reporting for achieving and sustaining end-to-end visibility and best management practices for the growing industrial and CBD hemp supply chain.

FarmLens Platform

Our FarmLens platform has benefitted us and our shareholders by developing important vertically integrated products and services with our drone-enabled software technologies. FarmLens is a subscription cloud analytics service that processes data, primarily collected with a drone, such as those produced by AgEagle, and makes such data actionable by farmers and agronomists. FarmLens is currently sold by AgEagle as a subscription service and offered either standalone or in a bundle with drone platforms manufactured by leading drone providers like AgEagle, DJI and senseFly. The FarmLens platform extends AgEagle’s reach as a business through key partnerships.

Growth Strategy

Moving forward, the Company intends to concentrate its growth strategies on three focused pursuits:

1)Contract Manufacturing: establishing AgEagle as the dominant commercial drone design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing company in the United States with emphasis on quality;
2)Drone Solutions: establishing AgEagle as the world’s trusted source for turn-key drone delivery services and solutions; and
3)Ag Solutions: leveraging our reputation as one of the leading technology solutions providers to the Agriculture industry with best-in-class drones and data analytics for hemp and other commercial crops.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATACOVID-19 On Our Business Operations

 

The market dataoutbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has spread to many regions of the world, including the United States. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and certainoperating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Should the coronavirus continue to spread, our business operations could be delayed or interrupted. For instance, we currently utilize third parties to, among other statistical informationthings, manufacture components and parts for the proprietary and contracted drones we produce, and to perform quality testing. We also manufacture and assemble products and perform various services at our manufacturing facility. If either we or any third-parties in the supply chain for materials used throughout this reportin our manufacturing and assembly processes are basedadversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, our supply chain may be disrupted, limiting our ability to manufacture and assemble products.

The spread of the coronavirus, which has caused a broad impact globally, including restrictions on independent industry publications, government publications, reportstravel and quarantine policies put into place by market research firmsbusinesses and governments, may have a material economic effect on our business. While the potential economic impact brought on by and the duration of the pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruptions of global financial markets, which may reduce our future ability to access capital either at all or on favorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other published independent sources. In addition, some datasustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the coronavirus could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

On October 19, 2017, EnerJex entered the Merger Agreement with AgEagle, described in greater detail under “Part I” – “Item 1 Financial Statements” of this report above under “Note 2 – Going Concern” – “Merger Agreement”.

The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions described in greater detail under “Part I” – “Item 1 Financial Statements” of this report above under “Note 2 – Going Concern” – “Merger Agreement”.

In the event the Merger closes, the shareholders of AgEagle will become our majority shareholders, our operations will change to those of AgEagle, i.e., the design, development, production, and distribution of technologically advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or drones) that are supplied to the agriculture industry and we will also dispose of our current principal assets, consisting of our Kansas oil and gas properties, concurrently with the closing of the Merger. In the event the Merger is not consummated, the Company does not have a present intention to dispose of the above described assets or to change its business focus.

Our current principal strategy is to consummate the pending Merger with AgEagle. We continue to manage our existing assets with reduced operating expenses while working to complete the Merger. In the event that the Merger does not close, we will continue to operate as an oil and gas company.

We will continue to investigate multiple opportunities to both increase and unlock value and accelerate growth in an accretive manner on behalf of shareholders, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and non-dilutive financings. There can be no assurance of the results or timing associated with this process.  

Plan of Operations

The Board of Directors is currently focused on the pending Merger, but is continuing to pursue possible strategic transactions involving opportunities both in and outside the oil and gas industry that will offer the opportunity for future growth and net cash flow. Those opportunities may involve a business combination with another business enterprise, the acquisition of one or more groups of assets, an equity or debt financing transaction to provide capital with which to fund operations and expansion, and other similar transactions. To illustrate the types of transactions that the Company is investigating, the Company has been investigating the acquisition by purchase or contribution of certain operating oil and gas assets.

As discussed previously, on October 19, 2017, the Company executed the Merger Agreement with AgEagle which is subject to shareholder approval at a meeting to be scheduled. While we are confident the Merger will be approved, the Company expects to continue to pursue other acquisition and business combination opportunities. No assurance can be given that any one or more of these potential business combinations or asset acquisition opportunities will be consummated.


Recent Developments

The following is a brief description of our most significant corporate developments that have occurred since the end of 2015:

On April 1, 2016, the Company informed the Bank that it would cease making the mandatory monthly borrowing base reduction payments and did not make the required April 1, 2016 payment. The Company made its mandatory quarterly interest payments on April 6, 2016, and May 2, 2016. On April 7, 2016 the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement whereby the Bank agreed to not exercise remedies and rights afforded it under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for thirty days.

On April 28, 2016, the Bank informed the Company that it would extend the above Forbearance Agreement period to May 31, 2016, upon effecting a principal reduction of $125,000.

 On October 1, 2016, the Company and the Bank could not reach an agreement to extend the Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement. Following this outcome, the Company decided to discontinue payment of interest on its outstanding loan obligations with the Bank. The Company continued to evaluate plans to restructure, amend or refinance existing debt through private options.

On October 26, 2016, the NYSE American (the “NYSE”) delisted our Series A preferred stock from the NYSE due to the failure to maintain a market capitalization of above $1 million. On January 11, 2017, we announced that we received a letter of noncompliance from the NYSE due to our failure to hold an annual meeting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. On January 17, 2017, we announced that the NYSE had accepted our plan to restore compliance with certain NYSE regulations on or before March 31, 2017. The NYSE subsequently granted an extension and on April 27, 2017, the Company held an annual meeting of shareholders.

On February 10, 2017, we and the other Sellers entered into the LSA, described in greater detail in “Part I” – “Item 1 Financial Statements” of this report above under “Note 2 – Going Concern” – “Financing Transactions” and thereafter, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement and New Note, also described in “Note 2 – Going Concern” under “Financing Transactions”.

Additional information regarding the Merger, the operations of AgEagle, which will become the operations of the Company in the event the Merger is completed and risk factors associated with the Merger, can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K which we filed with the SEC on October 10, 2017.

On October 19, 2017, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, a principal stockholder of AgEagle (the “Key AgEagle Stockholder”) entered into a voting agreement in favor of EnerJex (the “EnerJex Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the EnerJex Voting Agreement, the Key AgEagle Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of capital stock of AgEagle beneficially owned by him in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and any actions required in furtherance thereof. The AgEagle Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; or (ii) the date on which the Merger becomes effective.

In connection with, and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the Company is seeking the consent of the holder of its Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to amend the terms thereof to: (i) allow the Company to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends up to September 30, 2017 in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock based on the value of the liquidation preference thereof, (ii) eliminate the right of the Series A Preferred Stock holders to receive any dividends accruing after September 30, 2017, and (iii) convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into 10 shares of Company common stock. An affirmative vote of 66.7% of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class as of the record date of the proxy statement is required to amend the terms of the Certificate of Designation to provide for these changes, as required under the Merger Agreement.

As of September 30, 2017, the Series A Preferred Stock had accrued a total of $6,039,972 in accrued but unpaid dividends, which would result in an additional 241,599 shares of Series A Preferred Stock being issued by the Company to satisfy these accrued dividends.


On October 19, 2017, the Company received notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. that it is not compliance with certain NYSE American (“NYSE American”) continued listing standards relating to stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if an issuer has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). As a result, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and is required to submit a plan by November 19, 2017, advising the NYSE American of the actions the Company has taken or will take to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards.

Oil Revenues2019

 

OilFor the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded revenues of $750,325 compared to revenues of $41,616 for the same period in 2019, a 1,703% increase. The increase for this quarter in comparison to the prior quarter was largely due to new revenues derived from follow-on purchase orders to manufacture and assemble drone related products that had been deferred due to vendor delays impacted by COVID-19 shut-downs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded revenues of $1,157,930 compared to revenues of $107,785 for the same period in 2019, a 974% increase. The increase was largely due to new revenues derived from follow-on purchase orders to manufacture and assemble drone delivery products designed to meet specific criteria for package delivery in urban and suburban area. In addition, revenue growth was also positively impacted by continued focus on expansion of our platforms, providing for aerial imaging and analytics solutions which serve new and emerging markets including registration, oversight and compliance of hemp fields by state departments of agriculture.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, cost of sales totaled $430,683 and $32,728, respectively, an increase of $397,955 or 1,216%. Costs of sales totaled $620,196 and $85,875, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $1,082,4922020 and 2019, respectively, reflecting an increase in our cost of goods sold of 622% commensurate with the increase in sales.

We also had gross profit of $319,642, or 43%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to revenues$8,888, or 21%, for the comparable period in 2019, resulting in an increase in our profit margin in the current period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we had a gross profit of $1,581,972$537,734 or 46% and $21,910 or 20%, respectively, an increase in our profit margins of 2,354%. The primary factors contributing to the increase in our cost of sales and gross profit margin was due to the continued shift in mix of products and services we now offer customers in the new markets we serve that have resulted in higher margin for our sales.

General and administrative expenses totaled $626,605 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $396,432 in 2019, an increase of 58%. The increase was due primarily to stock compensation expenses, investor relations costs, payments to directors as compensation fees, and additional payroll and bonus payments made to employees. Professional fees also increased 67% as we had $254,532 of expenses for the current period versus $152,192 in the comparable prior period. The increase was mainly due to additional consulting service fees related to fractional CTO services, an operational consultant and business development consultants required to expand our growth opportunities along with incremental legal expenses as a result of our capital raising activities. Lastly, included in operating expenses was selling costs that decreased 30% to $16,242 versus $23,302 in the prior comparable period due to less travel and conference expenses for the purposes of new business development as a result of COVID-19.

Of the year-to-date oil revenue decrease of $499,480, approximately $852,109 (offset by the increase in prices as described below) was due to lower production volumes. Oil production decreased approximately 44% in the first nine months of 2017 from barrels produced in the first nine months of 2016 to barrels produced for the first nine months ended September 30, 2017. The production decrease was due primarily to the curtailment of both growthgeneral and maintenance capital expenditures,administrative costs, professional fees and the conveyance of the Company’s oil and gas properties in Colorado, Nebraska and Texas in connection with the restructuring of its outstanding senior debt in May 2017.

This was offset by an increase in revenues of approximately $352,629 due to higher crude oil prices. Crude oil prices increased $7.84 or 22% to an average price of $43.03 per barrel for the first nine months of 2017 compared to $35.19 per barrel for the same period in 2016.

Direct Operating CostsCOVID-19.

 

Direct operating costs include direct labor and equipment costs related to pumping, gauging, pulling, well repairs, compression, transportation costs, and general maintenance requirements in our oil and gas fields. These costs also include certain contract labor costs, and other non-capitalized expenses. Direct operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $903,385, or 47% to $1,013,389 from $1,916,774 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $205,253 compared to $569,109 for the same period in 2016. Year-to-date direct operating costs per Boe decreased $1.29 or approximately 3% to $37.40 for 2017, compared to $37.16 per boe for the same period of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the curtailment of both growth and maintenance capital expenditures, and the conveyance of the Company’s oil and gas properties in Colorado, Nebraska and Texas.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $305,684 compared to $312,322 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $80,449 compared to $63,644 for the same period in 2016. The year-to-date decrease in depletion expense of $16,805 or approximately 26% was due to the decrease in our depletable base year-over-year resulting from the impairment sustained in 2016 and further reduced by lower production volumes. Depletion expense per Boe decreased $1.29 or approximately 44% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and also as discussed above production decreased approximately 44% nine months over nine months due primarily to lower spending on lease operating expenditures and lower investments in maintenance capital.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and gas property costs less accumulated depletion and net of deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves and the cost of unproved properties not subject to amortization (without regard to estimates of fair value), or estimated fair value, if lower, of unproved properties that are not subject to amortization. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment expense is recognized.

Forour moving to Wichita of $594. There were no other expenses recorded for the same period during 2019.

Professional Fees

Professional feesOur net loss was $578,606 and $563,038 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $2,237,248 and $1,867,805, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $422,5382020 and 2019, respectively. Overall, the increase in net loss is due to an increase in our operating costs as a result of the shifts in our sales and our business development growth strategies. We are in the process of continuing to address these shifts by developing new platforms, products and services that support prevailing growth opportunities in the domestic industrial hemp market, sustainable agriculture market and the growing drone-enabled package delivery business.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our net loss available to common stockholders decrease to $578,606 from $603,927, a decrease of 4%. Our net loss available to common stockholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11,348,575 and $1,989,138, respectively. The increase is due to non-cash charges stemming from required deemed dividend accounting for modifications to certain preferred stock, redemption of preferred stock and the trigger of Down Round provisions on certain preferred stock and warrants.

Interest expense decreased as a result of the reduction of debt under the Loan Sale Agreement (“LSA”) (see “Part I” – “Item 1 Financial Statements” of this report above under “Note 2 – Going Concern” – “Financing Transactions” for further information) offset by higher interest rate charges under the forbearance agreement also described under the Note 2.

Gain on Loan Sale Agreement

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain of $11,500,124 on the LSA and the restructuring of our debt completed thereby. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the three months ended September 30, 2017, we had no loan sale gains or sale of loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through debt financing, revenues from operations, asset sales, and the issuance of equity securities. Due to the decline in oil prices and the restructuring of our outstanding debt, it will be more difficult during the remainder of 2017 and into 2018 to use our historical means of meeting our capital requirements to provide us with adequate liquidity to fund our operations and capital program.

Recent Funding and Related Transactions

On April 10, 2017, we obtained an unsecured loan in the principal amount of $150,000 from an affiliate of the holder of our issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “lender”). The loan was converted into 150 shares of Series Convertible Preferred Stock.

On April 27, 2017, the Company entered into an Additional Issuance Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt, for the purchase of 300 restricted shares of its newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in consideration for $300,000, of which $150,000 was payable in cash and $150,000 was payable via a note conversion, with an option to purchase an additional 200 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had working capital of $24,535,292 and a loss from operations of $2,237,248 for the Company had issued 300 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. In addition, during the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Company had received $150,000 from Alpha Capital Anstalt to purchase an additional 150 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2017, the additional 150 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have not been issued and are reflected as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Issuable on the balance sheet in the aggregate amount of $150,000. The shares have also not been issued as of the date of this filing.


The Series C Preferred Stock is non-voting (except to the extent required by law and except for certain consent rights relating to amending the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and the like), ranks senior to the common stock with respect to dividends and with respect to distributions upon a deemed dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, and ranks junior to the Company’s Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock with respect to dividends and with respect to distributions upon a deemed dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At September 30, 2017,2020, we had one full-time employee,did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including field personnel. As production and drilling activities increase or decrease, we may have to continue to adjust our technical, operational and administrative personnel as appropriate. We are using and will continue to use independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, particularly in the area of land services, reservoir engineering, geology drilling, water hauling, pipeline construction, well design, well-site monitoring and surveillance, permitting and environmental assessment. We believe that this use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain operating and general expenses, and capital costs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We follow the full-cost method of accounting under which all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized. We also capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with our acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities.

Proved properties are amortized using the units of production (UOP) method. Currently we only have operations in the Unites States of America. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the cost of these reserves. The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop proved reserves) and asset retirement costs, less related salvage value.

The cost of unproved properties are excluded from the amortization calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until development projects are placed into service. Geological and geophysical costs not associated with specific properties are recordedAs a “smaller reporting company” as proved property immediately. Unproved properties are reviewed for impairment quarterly.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is (a) the present value of future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil & gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil & gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of 10 percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized less (d) income tax effects related to differences between book and tax basis of properties. Future cash outflows associated with settling accrued retirement obligations are excluded from the calculation. Estimated future cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.


Any excessItem 10 of Regulation S-K, the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceilingCompany is charged to expense and reflected as additional DD&A in the statement of operations. The ceiling calculation is performed quarterly. For the three and nine months ended September 30 30, 2017, we were not required to record an impairment expense on our evaluated oil and gas properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred no impairment charges and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our impairment charge was $7,444,597.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The asset retirement obligation relates to the plugging and abandonment costs when our wells are no longer useful. We determine the value of the liabilityprovide information required by obtaining quotes for this service and estimate the increase we will face in the future. We then discount the future value based on an intrinsic interest rate that is appropriate for us. If costs rise more than what we have expected there could be additional charges in the future however we monitor the costs of the abandoned wells and we will adjust this liability if necessary.

Share-Based Payments

The value we assign to the options and warrants that we issue is based on the fair market value as calculated by the Black-Scholes pricing model. To perform a calculation of the value of our options and warrants, we determine an estimate of the volatility of our stock. We need to estimate volatility because there has not been enough trading of our stock to determine an appropriate measure of volatility. We believe our estimate of volatility is reasonable, and we review the assumptions used to determine this whenever we issue new equity instruments. If we have a material error in our estimate of the volatility of our stock, our expenses could be understated or overstated.

Effects of Inflation and Pricing

The oil industry is very cyclical and the demand for goods and services of oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry puts extreme pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Material changes in prices impact revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations of bank loans and value of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. We anticipate business costs and the demand for services related to production and exploration will fluctuate while the commodity prices for oil remains volatile.Item.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed belowItem 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities and in “Part I” - “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, and “Part II” – “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, filed with the SEC on August 21, 2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and which risk factors are incorporated by reference herein. You should also review the risk factors relating to the Merger set forth under AgEagle Risk Factors in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 20, 2017. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

In the event the Merger closes, it will cause immediate and substantial dilution to existing shareholders and a changeUse of control of the Company.

As described above, we are party to a Merger Agreement with AgEagle relating to the acquisition by us of the outstanding securities of AgEagle.  We anticipate the consideration exchanged with AgEagle for the securities of AgEagle will be 85% of our total outstanding securities on a fully-diluted basis.  As such, in the event the contemplated transaction closes, the issuance of the common stock consideration to AgEagle will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of our then shareholders and result in a change of control of the Company.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could adversely impact competing proposals to acquire us. These provisions include the prohibition on us generally from soliciting any acquisition proposal or offer for a competing transaction. These provisions might discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our company from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the current proposed Merger consideration.


Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact our stock price and future business and financial results.

If the Merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

we will not realize the benefits expected from the Merger, including a potentially enhanced competitive and financial position, expansion of operations, and will instead be subject to all the risks we currently face as an independent company;
we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and our partners and employees;
the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement. Such restrictions, the waiver of which is subject to the consent of AgEagle, may prevent us from making certain acquisitions, taking certain other specified actions or otherwise pursuing business opportunities during the pendency of the Merger; and
matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) may require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which would otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us as an independent company.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Merger may not be completed.

The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including, among other things: (a) the approval of the shareholders of the Company and AgEagle; (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each of the Company and AgEagle and the compliance by each of the Company and AgEagle with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; (c) approval of the shareholders of the Company for the issuance of its common stock and any other securities (x) to the AgEagle shareholders in connection with the Merger and (y) in connection with the financing transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) approval for the listing of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the Merger and other related transactions on the NYSE American; and (e) that all of the Company’s assets as disclosed shall have been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and the corresponding debt and liabilities shall have been extinguished. The Company’s existing cash resources are insufficient to satisfy all of its outstanding liabilities. Accordingly, in order to satisfy the condition and consummate the Merger, the Company will be required to raise additional funding prior to the closing of the Merger, the failure of which could result in the Company’s failure to consummate the Merger Agreement. These conditions to the closing of the Merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the Merger may not be completed. In addition, if the Merger is not completed by January 31, 2018, provided that if all of the conditions to closing shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied at such time, the required closing date may be extended until March 31, 2018, either we or AgEagle may choose not to proceed with the Merger, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after shareholder approval. In addition, we or AgEagle may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances.

Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact the Company.

In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, our business may have been adversely impacted by our failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, and the market price of our common stock might decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and our board of directors seek another business combination, our shareholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration provided for by the Merger.


We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on our partners may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed, and could cause partners and others that deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships, cease doing business with us or cause potential new partners to delay doing business with us until the Merger has been successfully completed. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the Merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles or compensation structure. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, our business following the Merger could be negatively impacted. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the Merger is completed without the consent of AgEagle. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger.

We are currently not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards and if we are unable to maintain compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards, our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE American equities market, which would likely cause the liquidity and market price of our common stock to decline.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE American. The NYSE American will consider suspending dealings in, or delisting, securities of an issuer that does not meet its continued listing standards. If we cannot meet the NYSE American continued listing requirements, the NYSE American may delist our common stock, which could have an adverse impact on us and the liquidity and market price of our stock.

We may be unable to comply with NYSE American continued listing standards. Our business has been and may continue to be affected by worldwide macroeconomic factors, which include uncertainties in the credit and capital markets. External factors that affect our stock price, such as liquidity requirements of our investors, as well as our performance, could impact our market capitalization, revenue and operating results, which, in turn, could affect our ability to comply with the NYSE American’s listing standards. The NYSE American has the ability to suspend trading in our common stock or remove our common stock from listing on the NYSE American if in the opinion of the exchange: (a) the financial condition and/or operating results of the Company appear to be unsatisfactory; or (b) it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of our common stock has become so reduced as to make further dealings on the exchange inadvisable; or (c) we have sold or otherwise disposed of our principal operating assets, or have ceased to be an operating company; or (d) we have failed to comply with our listing agreements with the exchange (which include that we receive additional listing approval from the exchange prior to us issuing any shares of common stock, something we have inadvertently failed to comply with in the past); or (e) any other event shall occur or any condition shall exist which makes further dealings on the exchange unwarranted.

On October 19, 2017, the Company received notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. that it is not in compliance with certain NYSE American (“NYSE American”) continued listing standards relating to stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if an issuer has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). As a result, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and is required to submit a plan by November 19, 2017, advising the NYSE American of the actions the Company has taken or will take to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards. The plan period may not exceed April 19, 2019.

The Company intends to submit a plan by the November 19, 2017 deadline. The plan will be based in significant part upon the merger and the associated financing. The Company expects that its common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company seeks to regain compliance with the listing standard noted, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to submit a plan or if the Company’s plan is not accepted then the NYSE American may commence delisting procedures. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company will be required to satisfy all applicable requirements for the initial listing on the NYSE American.


If we are unable to retain compliance with the NYSE American criteria for continued listing, our common stock would be subject to delisting. A delisting of our common stock could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock and reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing. In addition, delisting from the NYSE American might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business. Additionally, if we were delisted from the NYSE American and we are not able to list our common stock on another national exchange we will no longer be eligible to use Form S-3 registration statements and will instead be required to file a Form S-1 registration statement for any primary or secondary offerings of our common stock, which would delay our ability to raise funds in the future, may limit the type of offerings of common stock we could undertake, and would increase the expenses of any offering, as, among other things, registration statements on Form S-1 are subject to SEC review and comments whereas take downs pursuant to a previously filed Form S-3 are not.

If we are delisted from the NYSE American, your ability to sell your shares of our common stock would also be limited by the penny stock restrictions, which could further limit the marketability of your shares.

If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American, it would come within the definition of “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and would be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That Rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Rule 15g-9, if it were to become applicable, would affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and accordingly would affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the public market. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On April 27, 2017, the Company entered into an Additional Issuance Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt, for the purchase of 300 restricted shares of its newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in consideration for $300,000, with an option to purchase an additional 200 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had issued 300 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. In addition, during the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Company had received $150,000 from Alpha Capital Anstalt to purchase an additional 150 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2017, and the date of this filing, the additional 150 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have not been issued and are reflected as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Issuable on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, in the aggregate amount of $150,000.

We claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the transaction did not involve a public offering, the recipient was an “accredited investor”, and acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and are further subject to the terms of the escrow agreement. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Pursuant to the anti-dilutive provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 11, 2015, which requires the Company to issue additional shares of common stock to adjust the purchase price paid by purchasers in the Company’s March 2015 offering, in the event any shares are sold (or convertible securities are sold), with a price per share less than the purchase price paid by the March 2015 purchasers subject to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Alpha Capital Anstalt received 597,461 shares of common stock. In addition, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock conversion ratio equal to approximately 571 shares of common stock for each one (1) share of Preferred Stock reset to approximately 3,333 shares of common stock for each one (1) share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, to be consistent with the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to the anti-dilution requirements of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  


As the issuance of the anti-dilutive shares did not involve a “sale” of securities under Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act, we believe that no registration of such securities, or exemption from registration for such securities, was required under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent such shares are deemed “sold or offered”, we claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the transaction did not involve a public offering, the recipient was an “accredited investor”, and acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and are further subject to the terms of the escrow agreement. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2017, Alpha Capital Anstalt converted 390 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,300,000 shares of common stock.

We claim an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for such issuance, as the securities were exchanged by us with our existing security holder in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

Pursuant to the Merger, the Company will issue unregistered shares of Company common stock to the stockholders of AgEagle with respect to the Merger equal to 85% of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The shares to be issued by the Company to the stockholders of AgEagle in the Merger and related transactions will be issued exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the offer and sale of such securities does not involve a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and other applicable requirements will be met.
