Recapitalization
On March 15, 2016,October 1, 2017, Novume acquired Global (see Note 4). Global provides temporary contract professional and skilled labor to businesses throughout the stockholders of KSI formed KeyStone as a holding company with the same proportionate ownership percentage as KSI. On that same date KSI entered into a merger agreement (the “KSI Merger Agreement”) with KeyStone and KCS Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of KeyStone with no activity. PursuantUnited States. Contracts to the KSI Merger Agreement, on March 15, 2016, Merger Sub was merged with and into KSI, and thus KSI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of KeyStone (the “KSI Merger”). To complete the KSI Merger, the stockholders exchanged 100% of the outstanding common stock of KSI for newly issued common stock of KeyStone, representing 100% of the outstanding common stock. This effectively transferred 100% of the voting equity interest and control of KSI to KeyStone. The undistributed earnings totaling $1,192,844 of KSI as of that date were considered a capital contribution to KeyStone and were therefore reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The operations of KSI did not change, nor have any assets or operations transferred to either KeyStone or Merger Sub. The KSI Merger transaction resultedprovide such services vary in no gain or loss to either entity. The stockholders’ proportionate ownership of KeyStone remained the same as it was for KSI. KeyStone accounted for the merger transaction as a recapitalizationlength, usually less than one year. Global’s corporate offices are located in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Upon completion of the Brekford Merger, the merger consideration was issued in accordance with the terms of the Brekford Merger Agreement. Immediately upon completion of the Brekford Merger, the pre-merger stockholders of KeyStone owned approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Novume on a fully-diluted basis, and the pre-merger stockholders of Brekford owned approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Novume on a fully-diluted basis.

As the Brekford Merger has recently been completed, the Company is currently in the process of completing the purchase price allocation treating the Brekford Merger as a business combination. The final purchase price allocation for Brekford will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods. The table below shows the preliminary analysis related to the Brekford acquisition:

NOTE 32 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novume, the parent company, and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries AOC Key Solutions, Inc., Brekford Traffic Safety Inc., Novume Media, Inc., Chantilly Petroleum, LLC, Firestorm Solutions, LLC, and Firestorm Franchising, LLC.LLC, Global Technical Services Inc. and Global Contract Professionals, Inc.

 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
 
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. All necessary adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
Going Concern Assessment
Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception in August 2017 and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, issuance of debt and the sale of a note to provide cash for operations. The Company attributes losses to merger costs, public company corporate overhead and lower than expected revenue and lower gross profit of some of our subsidiaries. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.1 million and used approximately $1.8 million in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and a negative net working capital of $0.6 million.
No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.
We continue to seek additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising adequate funds needed. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. The Company will implement its contingency plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays unless operations improve in the look-forward period.

Uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future and thereafter, and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Without additional funds from debt or equity financing, sales of assets or other transactions yielding funds, we may exhaust our resources and may be unable to continue operations. Absent additional funding, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time.
As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern based on the outcome of these uncertainties described above.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Novume considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with the maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash balances designated for client jurisdictions related to Brekford as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $820,538 and $641,103, respectively, and corresponds to equal amounts of related accounts payable.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its clients’ financial condition, and the Company generally does not require collateral.
 
Management reviews accounts receivable to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Factors considered in the determination include, among other factors, number of days an invoice is past due, client historical trends, available credit ratings information, other financial data and the overall economic environment. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.
 
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. The Company also considers recording as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based onThe balance in the information available, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,000was $24,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and determined that an allowance was not required at December 31, 2016.2017.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included $2,276,833 and $1,259,089 in unbilled contracts respectively related to work performed in the period in which the receivable was recorded. The amounts were billed in the subsequent period.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory principally consists of hardware and third-party packaged software that is modified to conform to customer specifications andparts held temporarily until the completion of a contract.installed for service. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined by the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, while market value is determined by replacement cost for raw materialscomponents and parts and net realizable value for work-in-process.

replacement parts.
 
Property and Equipment
 
The cost of furniture and fixtures and office equipment is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the lease. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on the straight-line basis.
 

The range of estimated useful lives used for computing depreciation are as follows:
 
Furniture and fixtures2 - 10 years
Office equipment2 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements3 - 1015 years
Automobiles3 - 5 years
Camera systems3 years
 
DepreciationRepairs and amortizationmaintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for additions, improvements and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017 was $91,508and 2016 was $353,982 and 9,833,$25,787, respectively, and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017 was $173,547and 2016$51,229, respectively.
Business Combination
Management conducts a valuation analysis on the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date thereof. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Amounts paid for acquisitions are allocated to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We may also allocate a portion of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill.
We recorded goodwill and intangible assets for the mergers and acquisitions that occurred in 2018 and 2017. The BC Management, Secure Education and Firestorm acquisitions were asset acquisitions, which created both book and tax bases in goodwill and non-goodwill intangible assets. Secure Education’s acquisition resulted in $0.4 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. BC Management’s acquisition resulted in $0.4 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. The Firestorm acquisition resulted in $2.5 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. Brekford and Global were stock acquisitions and only have book basis in the goodwill and intangible assets. The fair value assigned to Brekford’s intangible and goodwill is $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Global Technical Services and Global Contract Professionals goodwill and intangible assets resulted in a fair value of $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. As a result of a corresponding deferred tax liability, an adjustment was $404,143recorded to goodwill to account for the tax effect of the deferred tax liability in the year ended December 31, 2017. As discussed above, the fair value of BC Management and $39,498, respectively.Secure Education assets may change and require subsequent adjustments.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of acquisitions or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets are compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

Acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the following periods:

Revenue Recognition
 
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(see Note 3).
The Company recognizesgenerates substantially all revenues forfrom providing professional services to clients. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the provision of servicesCompany allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and the collectabilitycontrol of the relatedgoods and services provided are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services using the following steps: 1) identify the contract; 2) identify the performance obligations; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue is reasonably assured.as or when the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company principally derivestypically satisfies performance obligations for professional services over time as the related services are provided.
The Company generates revenues from fees for services generated on a project-by-project basis. Revenues for time-and-materials contracts are recognizedunder three types of billing arrangements: time-and-expense; fixed-fee; and franchise fees.
Time-and-expense billing arrangements require the client to pay based on the number of hours worked by revenue-generating staff at agreed upon rates. The Company recognize revenues under time-and-expense arrangements as the employees or consultants at an agreed-upon rate per hour set forthrelated services are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient which allows us to recognize revenue in the Company’s standard rate sheetamount that the Company has a right to invoice, based on the number of hours worked and the agreed upon hourly rates.
In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services or as written from timedeliverables. The Company sets the fees based on our estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenues under fixed-fee billing arrangements using a proportionate performance approach, which is based on the cost of the work completed to-date versus our estimates of the total cost of the services to timebe provided under the engagement. Estimates of total engagement revenues and cost of services are monitored regularly during the term of the engagement. If our estimates indicate a potential loss, such loss is recognized in the Company’s contracts or purchase orders. Revenues related to firm-fixed-price contractsperiod in which the loss first becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.
The Company collects initial franchise fees when franchise agreements are primarily recognized upon completionsigned. The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue over the estimated life of the project as these projects are typically short-term in nature. Revenue fromfranchise, beginning with the saleopening of individual franchisesthe franchise, which is recognized when the contract is signed and collectability is assured, unlessCompany has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchisee is required to perform certain training before operations commence. The franchisor has no obligation to the franchisee relating to facilitiess developmentfranchise agreement and the franchisee is considered operational atbenefits from the timerights afforded by the franchise agreement is signed or when required training is completed, if applicable. agreement. Royalties from individual franchises are earned based upon the terms in the franchising agreement which are generally the greater of $1,000 or 8% of the franchisee’s monthly gross sales.
 
For automated traffic safety enforcementExpense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenues and cost of revenue.

The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts vary. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled services or deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients, are recorded as unbilled services. Revenues recognized, but for which the Company recognizeshas not yet been entitled to bill because certain events must occur, such as the revenue when the required efforts to collect from citizens are completed and posted to the municipality’s account. The respective municipality is then billed depending on the termscompletion of the respectivemeasurement period or client approval, are recorded as contract typically 15 days afterassets and included within unbilled services. Client prepayments and retainers are classified as deferred revenues and recognized over future periods, as earned, in accordance with the preceding month while collections are reconciled.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company receives a percentagehad $117,636 of collected fines,deferred revenue, is calculated based uponof which $19,063 and $30,303, was recognized for the posted payments from citizens multiplied by the Company’s contractual percentage. For contracts where the Company receives a specific fixed monthly fee regardless of citations issued or collected, revenue is recorded once the amount collected from citizens exceeds the monthly fee per camera. Brekford’s fixed-fee contracts typically have a revenue neutral provision whereby the municipality’s payment to Brekford cannot exceed amounts collected from citizens within a given month.three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
 
Advertising
 
The Company expenses all non-direct-response advertising costs as incurred. Such costs were not material for the three or nineand six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016.2017.
 
Use of Estimates
 
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectability of accounts receivable, fair value of debt and equity instruments goodwill, intangible assets and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 

Income Taxes
 
Through March 15, 2016, KSI elected to be taxed underWe use the provisionsliability method of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, KSI did not pay U.S. Federal corporateaccounting for income taxes andas set forth in most instances state income tax, on its taxable income. Instead, the KSI stockholders were liableauthoritative guidance for individual income taxes on their respective shares of KSI’s net income. KSI effectively revoked its S Corporation election upon the March 15, 2016 merger with the KeyStone. Novume is currently subject to corporateaccounting for income taxes.
This method requires an asset and liability approach for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Management has evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that their benefits will not be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its net deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s evaluationnet deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.
The tax effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. It is our accounting policy to account for ASC 740-10-related penalties and interest as a component of Septemberthe income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 20172018, our evaluation revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The 20132014 through 20152017 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS, and various states. Managementas of June 30, 2018. Our management does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Tax Cut and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) was enacted, which changes U.S. tax law and includes various provisions that impact our company. The 2017 Act effects our company by (i) changing U.S. tax rates, (ii) increasing the Company’s ability to utilize accumulated net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 and (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to deduct interest.
The 2017 Act instituted fundamental changes to the U.S. tax system. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Act. In accordance with SAB 118, management calculated its best estimate of the impact of the 2017 Act in the 2017 year-end income tax provision in accordance with their understanding of the 2017 Act and available guidance. Also pursuant to SAB 118, certain additional impacts of the 2017 Act remain open during the measurement period, including state tax impacts of the 2017 Act. As of the close of the second quarter, the Company continues to analyze the 2017 Act in its entirety and refine its calculations, which could potentially impact the measurement of recorded tax balances. Any subsequent adjustment to the tax balances resulting from the analysis of the 2017 Act, will be recorded to income tax expense in the fiscal quarter of 2018 when the analysis is completed.
 
Equity-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes equity-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Total equity-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017 was $96,350and 2016 was $107,321 and $0,$37,148, respectively, and for the ninesix months ended Septemberend June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $208,805and 2016 was $227,470 and $51,380,$120,149, respectively.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value and projected volatility of the underlying common stock and the expected term of the award.
 
The fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions below during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017:
2017. No options were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
 Nine months ended SeptemberSix Months Ended June 30, 2017
Risk-free interest rate1.00% - 1.99%2.17%
Expected term..30.366.1 years
Volatility70%
Dividend yield0%
Estimated annual forfeiture rate at time of grant0% - 30%
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate The yield on actively traded non-inflation indexed U.S. Treasury notes with the same maturity as the expected term of the underlying grants was used as the average risk-free interest rate.
 
Expected Term – The expected term of options granted was determined based on management’s expectations of the options granted which are expected to remain outstanding.
 
Expected Volatility – Because the Company’s common stock has only been publicly traded since late August 2017, there hasis not been a substantive share price history to calculate volatility and, as such, the Company has elected to use the calculated value method.
 

Dividend Yield – The Black-Scholes option pricing model includesrequires an expected dividend yield (which may be 0.00%) as an input. The Company has not issued common stock dividends in the past nor does the Company expect to issue common stock dividends in the future.
 
Forfeiture Rate – This is the estimated percentage of equity grants that are expected to be forfeited or cancelled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on past turnover data, level of employee receiving the equity grant, and vesting terms, and revises the rate if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of instruments that will vest is likely to differ from the estimate. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated number of awards likely to vest is recognized in compensation cost in the period of the change.
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for long-term debt approximates fair value as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, given management’s evaluation of the instrument’s current rate compared to market rates of interest and other factors.
 
The determination of fair value is based upon the fair value framework established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:value (listed from low to high):
 
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or can be derived from observable market data,indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilitiesliabilities; quoted prices in markets that are active or not active; or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputother inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company determined that the value of the remaining balance of the note receivable at December 31, 2017 approximated its recorded value and the Company sold the note in February 2018 for proceeds of $1,400,000. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
The Company has concluded that its Series A Preferred Stock is a Level 3 financial instrument and that the fair value approximates the carrying value due to the proximity of the date of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to independent third-parties as compared to September 30, 2017.third-parties. There were no changes in levels during the three or nineand six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and the Company did not have any financial instruments prior to 2016.2018.

 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s client base. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash balances with high-quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash may exceed U.S. Federally insured limits, and as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had $3,762,265$1,567,954 and $2,788,587,$1,707,212, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents on deposit that exceeded the federally insured limit.
 
Earnings per Share
 
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, except for periods of net loss for which no potentially dilutive securities are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options or warrants using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are calculated using the if-converted method.
 
The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. Participating securities consist of Series A Preferred Stock and warrantspreferred stock that contain a nonforfeitablenon-forfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders.

Segment Reporting
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about operatingreportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Based on its analysis of current operations, management has determined that the Company has only one operating segment, which is Novume. Management will continue to reevaluate its segment reporting as the Company grows and matures. However, the chief operating decision-makers currently use combined results to make operating and strategic decisions, and, therefore, the Company believes its entire operation is currently covered under a single reportable segment.
Going Concern Assessment
Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2016 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period. Management’s assessment determined the Company is a going concern.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Not Yet Adopted
 
In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for hedging activities. This guidance expands strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, changes how many hedging relationships are presented in the financial statements and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. The standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any interim or annual period before the effective date. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.

 
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity will account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the original award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the original award. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The update is to be adopted prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update but does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will test goodwill for impairment within one year of the acquisition or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist.

 
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, as part of its simplification initiatives. The update requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than deferring the recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party as is required under current GAAP. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The new standard will require adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In JanuaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,2016-13 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10)Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Recognition and Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial AssetsInstruments which requires the measurement and Financial Liabilities, which amends the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the classification and measurementrecognition of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirementsexpected credit losses for financial instruments. In addition,assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard2016-13 is effective for fiscal yearsannual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, and2019. We are to be adopted by meanscurrently in the process of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Recently Adopted
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:
 
● 
ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.
● 
ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).
● 
ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.
● 
ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.
ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).
ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.
ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.
 
The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. Novume has aggregated and reviewed all contracts at the date of initial application that are within the scope of Topic 606, excluding time-and-expense contracts at AOC Key Solutions and Global since Topic 606 does not have a material impact on time-and-expense contracts. The impact of adopting Topic 606 to the Company relate to: (1) a change to franchisee agreements recorded prior to 2017; and (2) the timing of certain contractual agreements, which the Company deemed as immaterial. Revenue recognition related to the Company’s other revenue streams will remain substantially unchanged (see Note 3 for the effects of adopting Topic 606).
NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new revenue recognition guidance to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize revenue at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. A five-step model has been introduced for an entity to apply when recognizing revenue. The new guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements (see Note 2). The guidance was effective January 1, 2018. It was applied on a modified retrospective basis to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application through a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018. The prior period comparative information has not been recast and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for that period.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. Novume has aggregated and reviewed all contracts at the date of initial application that are within the scope of Topic 606, excluding time-and-expense contracts at AOC Key Solutions and Global since Topic 606 does not have a material impact on time-and-expense contracts. Based on its evaluation, the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet or related consolidated statements of operations, equity or cash flows. Therefore, prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting Topic 606 to the Company as of January 1, 2018 relate to: (1) a change to franchisee agreements recorded prior to 2017 of $22,000 which will be amortized over remaining term of the franchisee agreements; and (2) the timing of certain contractual agreements which amounted to $45,000 and subsequently recognized as revenue in six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in (3) an increase in each of deferred revenue and accumulated deficit of $67,000. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 reduction to deferred revenue. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 increase in revenue. Revenue recognition related to the Company’s other revenue streams will remain substantially unchanged. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $16,500 of deferred revenue recognized upon adoption of Topic 606 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for a franchise contract over the next 18 months.

The pro-forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 does not include BC Management and Secure Education as it was deemed immaterial. This unaudited pro-forma financial information is presented for information purposes only and is not intended to present actual operating results that would have been attained had the acquisitions been completed as of January 1, 2017 (the beginning of the earliest period presented) or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods.
 
In March 2016, FASB issued ASU ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard reduces complexity in several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard and the impact of the adoption was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 is aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards. Currently, GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction; companies are still prohibited from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted and applied the new standard retrospectively to the prior period presented in the consolidated balance sheets and it did not have a material impact.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, InterestImputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires that deferred debt issuance costs be reported as a reduction to long-term debt (previously reported in other noncurrent assets). The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 in 2016 and for all retrospective periods, as required, and the impact of the adoption was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting standard update applies to all entities and was effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during fiscal year 2016.
The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards, in addition to those referenced above, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 45 – INVESTMENT AT COST AND NOTESNOTE RECEIVABLE
 
On February 6, 2017, prior to the Brekford Merger, the CompanyBrekford entered into a Contribution and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “CUP Agreement”) with LB&B Associates Inc. (“LB&B”) and Global Public Safety, LLC (“GPS”), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Brekford..
 
The closing for the transaction set forth in the CUP Agreement occurred on February 28, 2017 (the “GPS Closing”) and on such date the Company contributed substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities related to its vehicle services business to GPS. On the GPS Closing, the Company sold units representing 80.1% of the units of GPS to the LB&B for $6,048,394, after certain purchase price adjustments of prepaid expenses and unbilled customer deposits. $4,048,394 was paid in cash, including a $250,000 deposit that was paid on February 6, 2017, and $2,000,000 was paid by LB&B issuing the Company a promissory note receivable (the “GPS Promissory Note”). After the GPS Closing, the Company continues to own 19.9% of the units of GPS after the transaction. The Company is accounting for this as an investment at cost.
 
The GPS Promissory Note ($2,000,000) is subordinated to the LB&B’s senior lender and accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum. The maturity date of the GPS Promissory Note is March 31, 2022. The GPS Promissory Note is to be repaid as follows: (a) $75,000 plus all accrued interest on each of September 30, 2017; December 31, 2017; March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 (or, in the event any such date is not a business day, the first business day after such date), (b) $100,000 plus all accrued interest on each of December 31, 2018; March 31, 2019; June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (or, in the event any such date is not a business day, the first business day after such date) (c) $125,000 plus all accrued interest on each of December 31, 2019; March 31, 2020; June 30, 2020; September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020; March 31, 2021, June 31, 2021; September 30, 2021; and December 31, 2021 (or, in the event any such date is not a business day, the first business day after such date), and (d) $100,000 on March 31, 2022. The GPS Promissory Note iswas secured pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement (the “LB&B Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and LB&B. Pursuant to the LB&B Pledge Agreement LB&B, granted the Company a continuing second priority lien and security interest in the LB&B’s units of GPS subject to liens of the LB&B’s senior lender. In December 2017, the Company reclassified the note receivable balance to a current asset and wrote down $450,000 based on the decision to sell the note receivable to an unrelated third party.

NOTE 1214 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
In August 2017, the Company approved and adopted the 2017 Equity Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”) which replaced the 2016 Equity Award Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2017 Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards for the purpose of attracting and retaining quality employees, directors and consultants. Maximum awards available under the 2017 Plan were initially set at 3,000,000 shares. To date, only stock options have been issued under the 2016 Plan and the 2017 Plan.
 
Stock Options
 
Stock options granted under the 2017 Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted to employees and NSOs may be granted to employees, directors, or consultants. Stock options are granted at exercise prices as determined by the Board of Directors. The vesting period is generally three to four years with a contractual term of 10 years.
 
The 2017 Plan is administered by the Administrator, which is currently the Board of Directors of the Company. The Administrator has the exclusive authority, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2017 Award Plan, to determine all matters relating to awards under the 2017 Plan, including the selection of individuals to be granted an award, the type of award, the number of shares of Novume common stock subject to an award, and all terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, including, without limitation, vesting, acceleration of vesting, exercisability, termination, substitution, cancellation, forfeiture, or repurchase of an award and the terms of any instrument that evidences the award.
 
Novume has also designed the 2017 Plan to include a number of provisions that Novume’s management believes promote best practices by reinforcing the alignment of equity compensation arrangements for nonemployee directors, officers, employees, consultants and stockholders’ interests. These provisions include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
No Discounted Awards. Awards that have an exercise price cannot be granted with an exercise price less than the fair market value on the grant date.
 
No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Novume cannot, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of an award (except for adjustments in connection with a Novume recapitalization), and at any time when the exercise price of an award is above the market value of Novume common stock, Novume cannot, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such award for cash, other awards or a new award at a lower (or no) exercise price.
 
No Evergreen Provision. There is no evergreen feature under which the shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan can be automatically replenished.
 
No Automatic Grants. The 2017 Plan does not provide for “reload” or other automatic grants to recipients.
 
No Transferability. Awards generally may not be transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, unless approved by the Administrator.
 

No Tax Gross-Ups. The 2017 Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups.
 
No Liberal Change-in-Control Definition. The change-in-control definition contained in the 2017 Plan is not a “liberal” definition that would be activated on mere stockholder approval of a transaction.
 
“Double-trigger” Change in Control Vesting. If awards granted under the 2017 Plan are assumed by a successor in connection with a change in control of Novume, such awards will not automatically vest and pay out solely as a result of the change in control, unless otherwise expressly set forth in an award agreement.

 
No Dividends on Unearned Performance Awards. The 2017 Plan prohibits the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights on unearned performance-based awards.
 
Limitation on Amendments. No amendments to the 2017 Plan may be made without stockholder approval if any such amendment would materially increase the number of shares reserved or the per-participant award limitations under the 2017 Plan, diminish the prohibitions on repricing stock options or stock appreciation rights, or otherwise constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of the principal exchange on which Novume’s shares are traded.
 
Clawbacks. Awards based on the satisfaction of financial metrics that are subsequently reversed, due to a financial statement restatement or reclassification, are subject to forfeiture.
 
When making an award under the 2017 Plan, the Administrator may designate the award as “qualified performance-based compensation,” which means that performance criteria must be satisfied in order for an employee to be paid the award. Qualified performance-based compensation may be made in the form of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, common stock options, performance shares, performance units or other stock equivalents. The 2017 Plan includes the performance criteria the Administrator has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, for a “qualified performance-based compensation” award.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share under Two – Class Method
 
The Series A Preferred Stock hasand Series B Preferred Stock have the non-forfeitable right to participate on an as converted basis at the conversion rate then in effect in any common stock dividends declared and, as such, is considered a participating security. The Series A Preferred Stock isand Series B Preferred Stock are included in the computation of basic and diluted loss per share pursuant to the two-class method. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock do not participate in undistributed net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so.
 
The computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock that are dilutive were exercised or converted into shares of common stock (or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock) and would then share in our earnings. During the periods in which we record a loss attributable to common stockholders, securities would not be dilutive to net loss per share and conversion into shares of common stock is assumed not to occur.
 

The following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss) to preferred shareholders and common stockholders for purposes of computing net (loss) per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. There were no outstanding participating securities during the three2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017.

General
 
The information provided in this discussion and analysis of Novume’s financial condition and results of operations covers the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017. In 2017, and 2016. During fiscal year 2017, the Companywe completed the acquisition of Firestorm, (described below) and the Brekford Merger, the acquisition of Global and the purchase of certain assets of BC Management (described below). As of the date of hereof, Novume has not completed the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the Brekford assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. It has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Novume’s and Brekford’s accounting policies to Novume’s accounting policies.As of the date of hereof, Novume has completed the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the Firestormassets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the Novume’s consolidated balance sheet and/or statements of operations, which will include operations of Novume, KSI, Firestorm, Brekford and Novume Media.
 

In connection with the audit of its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, Novume’s management concluded that it had material weaknesses in its internal controls because Novume does not currently have adequately designed internal controls to ensure the timely preparation and review of the accounting for certain complex, non-routine transactions by those with appropriate technical expertise, which was necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures would be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, Novume did not have adequately designed and documented financial close and management review controls to properly detect and prevent certain accounting errors and omitted disclosures in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. As defined in the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Novume’s management is developing a plan to remediate the material weaknesses although there can be no assurance that such plans, when enacted, will be successful.
While Novume has no direct current business operations, its significant assets as of September 30, 2017 are its cash and equity interest in its principal operating subsidiaries, KSI, Brekford and Firestorm. Thus, the financial information in this section for periods prior to March 15, 2016 is for KSI prior to the recapitalization into KeyStone. The financial information in this section for all periods subsequent to March 15, 2016 and prior to the January 25, 2017 acquisition of Firestorm is prepared on a consolidated basis for KeyStone and KSI.AOC Key Solutions. The financial information for periods subsequent to January 25, 2017 is prepared on a consolidated basis for KeyStone, KSIAOC Key Solutions and Firestorm.

Recent Acquisitions
Secure Education Consultants Acquisition
On January 1, 2018, Novume completed its acquisition of certain assets of Secure Education. Secure Education’s security and safety experts provide consulting, technical support, staffingcustomized emergency protocols and systems that helpcritical incident response training for schools and child care organizations and will further augment the risk mitigation and crisis management services we provide to our clients exploit opportunitiesthrough Firestorm. Consideration paid as part of this acquisition included: (a) $99,197 in cash, (b) 33,333 shares of Novume common stock valued at $163,332; (c) warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of Novume common stock, exercisable over a period of five years, at an exercise price of $5.44 per share valued at $65,988 and meet challenges more efficiently and effectively than they can by relying on in-house resources alone. Our clients(d) warrants to purchase 33,333 of Novume common stock, exercisable over a period of five years at an exercise price of $6.53 per share valued at $57,484. As the Secure Education acquisition has recently been completed, we are typically well-established, financially-stable businesses. According to USASpending.gov, between fiscal years 2013 and 2017, the federal governmentcurrently in the United States spent an averageprocess of over $450 billion annuallycompleting the preliminary purchase price allocation treating the Secure Education acquisition as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation for goodsSecure Education is included in our consolidated financial statements for the three and services, creating onesix months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, there are 66,666 Secure Education warrants outstanding.
BC Management Acquisition
On December 31, 2017, Novume completed its acquisition of certain assets of BC Management through Firestorm. Consideration paid as part of this acquisition included: (a) $100,000 in cash, (b) 33,333 shares of Novume common stock valued at $163,332 and (c) 66,666 warrants to purchase Novume common stock valued at $123,472. As the largest and most stable marketsBC Management acquisition has recently been completed, we are currently in the world, and there are thousandsprocess of government contractors providing these goods and services. These contractors range from small privately-owned lifestyle companies tocompleting the Fortune 100. Throughpreliminary purchase price allocation treating the years, Novume’s subsidiaries have served thousands of these entities, including 87 of the Top 100 federal contractors.
A unique characteristic of the industryBC Management acquisition as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation for BC Management is that many of these companies are concentrated in a geographic territory that stretches from Southern Maryland to Northern Virginia, wrapping the nation’s Capital in what is known as the Beltway. Because of the geographic concentration of these clients, there is also a large, but fragmented, concentration of service providers for these companies. Although the businesses that provide resources to the government contracting sector are diverse and highly fragmented, their clients have many common needs resulting from the basic qualifications and standard requirements inherentincluded in the government procurement process. Novume believes that there is a unique opportunity for consolidationCompany’s consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. BC Management results are included in this sector. While our immediate goal is to improve our ability to serve this sector by pooling our existing subsidiaries’ resources and client contacts, our ultimate objective is to expand our ability to meet its unique needs by assembling, through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, a complimentary suitestatement of service and systems providers with demonstrated ability to satisfy the needs of this sector for high value talent and support services. In addition to the benefits of shared costs and pooled resources, we expect to benefit from the increased client involvement that targeted expansion of our market segments can provide. We would like Novume to be recognized as the best place to go for outside help when a company has to meet an unusual need, whether it involves an unusual opportunity or an unusual threat.
Novume intends to fund organic growth and add both vertical and horizontal capabilities by acquiring service providers through a market-focused and disciplined strategy. Novume’s efforts to identify prospective target businesses will look for opportunities where the combination of resources will be additive to the existing capabilities of the Company and will not be limited to any geographic region or any particular sector of the support or services industries. A primary consideration will be to improve the level of support Novume and its subsidiaries provides to its existing customers as well as carefully considered expansions of the customer base.
Novume is an established provider of outsourced services to the GovCon market that generates revenues from fees and reimbursable expenses for professional services primarily billed on an hourly rate, time-and-materials basis. Clients are typically invoiced on a monthly basis, with revenue recognized as the services are provided. In a few cases, a fixed-fee engagement for our services may be entered into. Fixed-fee engagements can be invoiced onceoperations for the entire job, or there could be several “progress” invoices for accomplishing various phases or reaching contractual milestones. Time-and-materials contracts represent a majority of our client engagements and do not provide us with a high degree of predictability of future period performance.
Novume’s financial results are impacted principally by the:
1) 
demand by clients for Novume’s services;
2) 
the degree to which full-time staff can be kept occupied in revenue-generating activities;
3) 
success of the sales team in generating client engagements; and
4) 
number of business days in each quarter.
beginning after December 31, 2017.
 

 
The number of business days on which revenue is generated by our staff and consultants is affected by the number of vacation days taken, as well as the number of holidays in each quarter. There are typically fewer business work days available in the fourth quarter of the year, which can impact revenues during that period. The staff utilization rate can also be affected by seasonal variations in the demand for services from clients. Since earnings may be affected by these seasonal variations, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
Unexpected changes in the demand for our services can result in significant variations in revenues, and present a challenge to optimal hiring, staffing and use of consultants. The volume of work performed can vary from period to period.
While we anticipate an increasing demand for Novume’s services in 2017 based upon an expected increase in the volume of federal government spending and as our clients elect to outsource their bid and proposal activities, it is still not clear how government spending will be impacted in 2018 and beyond. The federal government fiscal year starts on October 1 and ends on September 30. Thus, the bulk of our revenues for 2017 should be based on budget authorizations made in 2016, however, the new administration does have some discretion to delay spending on programs previously authorized and will establish the budgets for the new fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017.
Global Acquisition
 
AlthoughOn October 1, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Global Technical Services, Inc. (“GTS”) and Global Contract Professionals, Inc. (“GCP) (collectively, the new administration“Global Entities”) (the “Global Merger”). Consideration paid as part Global Merger included: (a) $750,000 in cash, (b) 375,000 shares of Novume common stock and (c) 240,861 shares of Novume Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Novume Series B Preferred Stock”). In addition to the merger consideration, Novume paid $365,037 to satisfy in full all of the outstanding debt of GTS and GCP at closing, except for certain intercompany debt and ordinary course debt, and amounts due under (a) the Secured Account Purchase Agreement dated August 22, 2012 by and between GTS and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “GTS Wells Fargo Credit Facility”) and (b) the Secured Account Purchase Agreement dated August 22, 2012 by and between GCP and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “GCP Wells Fargo Credit Facility” and together with the GTS Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the “Wells Fargo Credit Facilities”), which will remain in effect following the consummation of the Global Merger. In connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, Novume has expressed a desiredelivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, general continuing guaranties (the “Wells Fargo Guaranty Agreements”), effective upon the closing of the Global Merger guaranteeing the Guaranteed Obligations of GTS and GCP under the Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, and paid $175,000 in the aggregate to reduce the federal government bureaucracy, we cannot assume that this will reducecurrent borrowed amounts under the demand for Novume’s services. A short-term resultWells Fargo Credit Facilities as of a program to reduce bureaucracy may be to increase privatization initiatives. Moreover, the new administration’s emphasis on renewing the nation’s infrastructure, which appears to enjoy broad-based support, may result in a significant long-term increase in federal procurements.October 1, 2017.
 
Thus, while changes and adjustments can undoubtedly be anticipated, Novume believes the overall outlook for the GovCon sector remains promising. This is inAs part due to the changing nature of the contracting process.Global Merger, we created 240,861 shares of $0.0001 par value Novume Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

The volume and frequencySeries B Preferred Stock is entitled to quarterly cash dividends of requests for proposals1.121% (4.484% per annum) per share. The Series B Preferred Stock has been increasing during recent years as outdated and ill-conceived programs have been eliminated in favora conversion price of higher priority programs. Moreover, Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) contracts have increasingly fallen into disfavor as$5.00 per share.

Key Trends, Developments and Challenges
U.S. Government Spending and the Government Contractor Industry Generally
On March 23, 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “2018 Act”) was signed into law. It provides $1.3 trillion in funding through September 2018. It also anticipates $500 billion in new federal spending for defense and domestic programs over two years. The 2018 Act provides more than $2.3 billion in new funding for threat identification, mental health, training, and school safety programs at the Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services. The legislation also lifts statutory budget caps and increases funding for emergency disaster aid funding, lifts the debt ceiling and extends certain health care and tax authorizations. We believe that these increases in federal funding will increase demand for our services.
While we anticipate an increasing demand for our services based upon an expected increase in the volume of federal government spending and as our clients elect to outsource their bid and proposal activities, it is still not clear how government spending will be impacted beyond 2018. The administration does have some discretion to delay spending on programs previously authorized.
Impact of Current Federal Budget on Defense Spending
The 2018 Act represents the largest investment in national defense in 15 years. Although the 2018 Act included a 2.4% pay raise for military personnel, it also provides for significant increases in military procurements. We believe that increased defense spending will flow down to government contractor and provide them with new opportunities to offer national defense product and services to the federal government.

The Department of Defense is experimenting with a type of simplified acquisition process known as Other Transactional Authority (OTA). A purpose of OTA is to encourage nontraditional defense contractors to develop innovative technologies, though more traditional defense contractors can also participate. Furthermore, the 2018 Act seeks to maximize the participation of small and socio-economically diverse companies, which may increase the number of contractors offering goods and services to the federal government. We believe that these increases in federal funding will increase demand for our services.
NeoSystems Merger
We filed a Form S-1 with the SEC on January 25, 2018. A portion of the proceeds from the proposed offering was to be used for the planned acquisition of NeoSystems LLC (“NeoSystems”) through a forward merger under an agreement entered into on November 16, 2017. The proposed offering was for $12.5 million Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. A significant portion of the proceeds of the offering were expected to be used in connection with the contemplated acquisition of NeoSystems. The consummation of the merger was subject to, among other things, the completion of the Qualifying Offering by February 28, 2018. We have not yet completed this offering.
On March 7, 2018, we received notice of termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “NeoSystems Merger Agreement”). The stated basis of termination by NeoSystems was due to our failure to complete a Qualifying Offering, as defined in the NeoSystems Merger Agreement, by February 28, 2018. The terms of the NeoSystems Merger Agreement provide that upon termination, we are required to pay certain fees and expenses of legal counsel, financial advisors, investment bankers and accountants, which shall not exceed in the aggregate $450,000. We reserve all rights under applicable law with respect to the NeoSystems Merger Agreement, including such notice.
Sale of Note
On February 13, 2018, Brekford sold a note receivable from Global Public Safety, LLC (“Global Public Safety”), which it had received as part of the purchase price consideration in connection with the sale of its legacy upfitting business prior to its acquisition by Novume as a result of the merger with KeyStone in 2017. On December 31, 2017, based on the decision to sell the note receivable to an unrelated third party, we reclassified the note receivable balance to a current asset and wrote down $450,000 as other expense, thus reducing the balance to $1,475,000. Brekford continues to retain a 19.9% interest in Global Public Safety.
Promissory Note
On April 3, 2018, Novume and Brekford entered into a transaction pursuant to which an institutional investor (the “Lender”) loaned $2,000,000 to Novume and Brekford (the “April 2018 Promissory Note”). The loan is due and payable on May 1, 2019 and bears interest at 15% per annum, with a minimum of 15% interest payable regardless of when the loan is repaid. The loan is secured by a security interest in all of the assets of Brekford. In addition, Novume agreed to issue 35,000 shares of common stock to the Lender, which shares contain piggy-back registration rights. If the shares are not so registered on the next selling shareholder registration statement, Novume shall be obligated to issue an additional 15,000 shares to the Lender. Upon any sale of Brekford or its assets, the Lender will be entitled to receive 7% of any proceeds received by Novume or Brekford in excess of $5 million (the “Lender’s Participation”). In addition, commencing January 1, 2020, the Lender shall be paid 7% of Brekford’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less any capital expenditures, which amount would be credited for any payments that might ultimately be paid to the Lender as its Lender’s Participation, if any. At April 3, 2018, the fair value of shares issued was $126,000 and designated as financing cost and the amortized financing cost for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was determined to be $29,076. The April 2018 Promissory note has an effective interest rate of 20.8%.
Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

On March 16, 2016, Novume entered into a Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Avon Road Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Novume agreed to issue up to $1,000,000 in subordinated debt (the "Avon Road Note") and warrants to purchase up to 242,493 shares of Novume’s common stock (“Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants”). The exercise price for the Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants is equal to $1.03$1.031 per share of common stock. Subordinated notes with a face amount of $500,000 and Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants to purchase 121,247 shares of Novume’s common stock have been issued pursuant to the Avon Road Note Purchase Agreement to Avon Road Partners, L.P. (“Avon Road”), an affiliate of Robert Berman, Novume’s CEO and a member of Novume’s Board of Directors. The Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants hashad an expiration date of March 16, 2019 and qualified for equity accounting as the warrantwarrants did not fall within the scope of ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value was determined to be $58,520 and was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The debt discount is being amortized as interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, through the maturity date of the note payable.  The balance as of September 30, 2017 for the debt discount was $42,711.
 
The note is subordinated to the 2016 Line of Credit with SSB and any successor financing facility. SimpleAvon Road Note accrues simple interest accrues on the unpaid principal of the note at a rate equal to the lower of (a) 9% per annum, or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Interest is payable monthly, and the note matures on March 16, 2019. The Company terminated the 2016 Loan Agreement in August 2017.
 

PursuantOn April 3, 2018, Novume and Brekford entered into a transaction pursuant to which an institutional investor (the “Lender”) loaned $2,000,000 to Novume and Brekford (the “April 2018 Promissory Note”). The loan is due and payable on May 1, 2019 and bears interest at 15% per annum, with a minimum of 15% interest payable regardless of when the loan is repaid. The loan is secured by a security interest in all of the assets of Brekford. In addition, Novume agreed to issue 35,000 shares of common stock to the termsLender, which shares contain piggy-back registration rights. If the shares are not so registered on the next selling shareholder registration statement, Novume shall be obligated to issue an additional 15,000 shares to the Lender. Upon any sale of Brekford or its assets, the acquisitionLender will be entitled to receive 7% of the membership interests in the Firestorm Entities, the Company issued $1,000,000 in the aggregate in the form of four unsecured, subordinated promissory notes, issuedany proceeds received by Novume or Brekford in excess of $5 million (the “Lender’s Participation”). In addition, commencing January 1, 2020, the Lender shall be paid 7% of Brekford’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and payable over five years afteramortization, less any capital expenditures, which amount would be credited for any payments that might ultimately be paid to the Firestorm Closing Date,Lender as its Lender’s Participation, if any. At April 3, 2018, the fair value of shares issued was $126,000 and designated as financing cost and the amortized financing cost for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was determined to all the Members of the Firestorm Entities.be $29,076. The principal amount of theApril 2018 Promissory note payable to Lancer is $500,000. The principal amount of the note payable to Mr. Rhulen is $166,666.66. The principal amount of the notes payable to each of Mr. Satterfield and Ms. Loughlin is $166,666.67. The Firestorm Principal Notes are payable athas an effective interest rate of 2%20.8%.
The Company has generated losses since its inception in August 2017 and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, issuance of debt and the Lancer Note is payable at an interest ratesale of 7%.a note to provide cash for operations. The balanceCompany attributes losses to merger costs, public company corporate overhead, lower than expected revenue and lower gross profit of these notes payablesome of our subsidiaries. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.1 million and used approximately $1.8 million in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017was $919,7532018 and a negative net working capital of $0.6 million.
No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Although certain of our subsidiaries are profitable, due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization costs at other subsidiaries, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.
We continue to seek additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising adequate funds needed. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. The Company will implement its plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays unless operations improve in the look-forward period.
Uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future and thereafter, and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Without additional funds from debt or equity financing, sales of assets or other transactions yielding funds, we may exhaust our resources and may be unable to continue operations. Absent additional funding, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time.
As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the amortized fair valuepossible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the notes issued dueamounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern based on the difference in interest rates.outcome of these uncertainties described above.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, Novume did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Novumewe did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of Novume’sour financial condition and results of operations is based upon Novume’s consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with “GAAP”accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the management of Novume to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Novume believesWe believe the application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Novume bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management of Novume believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
 
Novume’s accounting policies are further described in its historical audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q. Novume has identified the following critical accounting policies:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Novume recognizesOn January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company generates substantially all revenues from providing professional services to clients. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its revenues for the provision of servicesrelative standalone selling price, which is determined based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collectabilitycontrol of the goods and services provided are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services using the following steps: 1) identify the contract; 2) identify the performance obligations; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as or when the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company typically satisfies performance obligations for professional services over time as the related revenue is reasonably assured. Novume principally derivesservices are provided.
The Company generates revenues from fees for services generated on a project by project basis. Revenues for time-and-materials contracts are recognizedunder three types of billing arrangements: time-and-expense; fixed-fee; and franchise fees.

Time-and-expense billing arrangements require the client to pay based on the number of hours worked by our employees or consultantsrevenue-generating staff at an agreed upon rate per hourrates. The Company recognize revenues under time-and-expense arrangements as the related services are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient which allows us to recognize revenue in the amount that the Company has a right to invoice, based on the number of hours worked and the agreed upon hourly rates.
In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set forth inof professional services or deliverables. The Company sets the fees based on our standard rate sheet or as written from timeestimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenues under fixed-fee billing arrangements using a proportionate performance approach, which is based on the cost of the work completed to-date versus our estimates of the total cost of the services to time inbe provided under the engagement. Estimates of total engagement revenues and cost of services are monitored regularly during the term of the engagement. If our contracts or purchase orders. These costs areestimates indicate a potential loss, such loss is recognized in the period in which services are performed.the loss first becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.
 
Revenues relatedThe Company collects initial franchise fees when franchise agreements are signed. The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue over the estimated life of the franchise, beginning with the opening of the franchise, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement and the franchisee benefits from the rights afforded by the franchise agreement. Royalties from individual franchises are earned based upon the terms in the franchising agreement which are generally the greater of $1,000 or 8% of the franchisee’s monthly gross sales.
Expense reimbursements that are billable to firm-fixed-priceclients are included in total revenues and cost of revenue.
The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts vary. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized uponas either unbilled services or deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients, are recorded as unbilled services. Revenues recognized, but for which the Company has not yet been entitled to bill because certain events must occur, such as the completion of the projectmeasurement period or client approval, are recorded as these projectscontract assets and included within unbilled services. Client prepayments and retainers are typically short-termclassified as deferred revenues and recognized over future periods, as earned, in nature.
The agreements entered into in connectionaccordance with a project, whether on a time-and-materials basis or firm-fixed-price basis, typically allow our clients to terminate early due to breach or for convenience with 30-days’ notice. In the eventapplicable engagement agreement. As of termination, the client is contractually required to pay for all time, materials and expenses incurred by us through the effective date of the termination.
For automated traffic safety enforcement revenue,December 31, 2017, the Company recognizeshad $117,636 of deferred revenue, of which $19,063 and $30,303, was recognized for the revenue when the required collection efforts, from citizens, are completedthree and posted to the municipality’s account. The respective municipality is then billed depending on the terms of the respective contract, typically 15 days after the preceding month while collections are reconciled. For contracts where the Company receives a percentage of collected fines, revenue is calculated based upon the posted payments from citizens multiplied by the Company’s contractual percentage. For contracts where Company receives a specific fixed monthly fee regardless of citations issued or collected, revenue is recorded once the amount collected from citizens exceeds the monthly fee per camera. The Company’s fixed fee contracts typically have a revenue neutral provision whereby the municipality’s payment to Brekford cannot exceed amounts collected from citizens within a given month.six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Novume performsWe perform continuing credit evaluations of itsour clients’ financial condition, and Novume generally does not require collateral.
 
Management reviews accounts receivable to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Factors considered in the determination include, among other factors, number of days an invoice is past due, client historical trends, available credit ratings information, other financial data and the overall economic environment. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.
 
Novume recordsWe record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. NovumeWe also recordsrecord as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and Novume’sour assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $24,000 and $0$24,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016, respectively. Based on the information available, Novume determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.2017. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

 
Income Taxes
 
Through March 15, 2016, KSI had elected to be taxed underWe use the provisionsliability method of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, KSI did not pay U.S. federal corporateaccounting for income taxes andas set forth in most instances state income tax, on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholders of KSI were liableauthoritative guidance for individual income taxes on their respective shares of KSI’s net income. KSI effectively revoked its S Corporation election upon the March 15, 2016 merger with Novume. As a result, Novume is now subject to corporateaccounting for income taxes. Firestorm is a single-member LLC with Novume asThis method requires an asset and liability approach for the sole member.
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Novume’s
Management has evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, we fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that their benefits will not be realized in future periods. We will continue to evaluate its net deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of our net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.
The tax effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. It is our accounting policy to account for ASC 740-10-related penalties and interest as a component of the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
As of June 30, 2018, our evaluation as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. The 20132014 through 20152017 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. ManagementIRS, as of NovumeJune 30, 2018. Our management does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements.
Going Concern and Management’s Plan
Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates, and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception in August 2017 and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, issuance of debt and the sale of a note to provide cash for operations. The Company attributes losses to merger costs, public company corporate overhead and lower than expected revenue and lower gross profit of some of our subsidiaries. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.1 million and used approximately $1.8 million in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and a negative net working capital of $0.6 million.
No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. While certain of our subsidiaries are profitable and due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.
We continue to seek additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising adequate funds needed. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. The Company will implement its contingency plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays unless operations improve in the look-forward period.

Uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future and thereafter, and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Without additional funds from debt or equity financing, sales of assets or other transactions yielding funds, we may exhaust our resources and may be unable to continue operations. Absent additional funding, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time.
As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern based on the outcome of these uncertainties described above.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Not Yet Adopted
 
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to accounting for hedging activities. This guidance expands strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, changes how many hedging relationships are presented in the financial statements, and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. The standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any interim or annual period before the effective date. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company isWe are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.
 
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity will account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the original award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the original award. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The update is to be adopted prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company isWe are currently evaluating the effect of this update but doesdo not believe it will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentImpairment.. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will test goodwill for impairment within one year of the acquisition or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist.

 
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, as part of its simplification initiatives. The update requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than deferring the recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party as is required under current GAAP. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The new standard will require adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, and early adoption is permitted. The Company isWe are currently evaluating the effect that this update will have on itsour financial statements and related disclosures.

 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company isWe are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on itsour consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. The Company is currently in the process of completing its assessment of any significant contractASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact the adoption of the new revenue standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The standard update, as amended, will beASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company performed an initial assessment of the impact of the ASU and is developing a transition plan, including necessary changes to policies, processes, and internal controls as well as system enhancements to generate the information necessary for the new disclosures. The project is on schedule for adoption on
On January 1, 2018, and the Company will applyadopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. The Company expects revenue recognition across its portfolioNovume has aggregated and reviewed all contracts at the date of services to remain largely unchanged. However,initial application that are within the Company expects to recognize revenue earlier than itscope of Topic 606, excluding time-and-expense contracts at AOC Key Solutions and Global since Topic 606 does under current guidance in a few areas, including accounting for variable fees and for certain consulting services, which will be recognized over time rather than at a point in time. While the Company has not finalized its assessment of the impact of the ASU, based on the analysis completed to date, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ASU will have a material impact on time-and-expense contracts. Based on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that will have a significant impact on Novume’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 provides guidance to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the assets acquired (or disposed of) are not considered a business. We adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard reduces complexity in several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard and the impact ofevaluation, the adoption was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 is aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards. Currently, GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction; companies are still prohibited from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. KeyStone early adopted and applied the new standard retrospectively to the prior period presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and it did not have a material impact.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires that deferred debt issuance costs be reported as a reduction to long-term debt (previously reported in other noncurrent assets). The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 in 2016 and for all retrospective periods, as required, and the impact of the adoption was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting standard update applies to all entities and was effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during fiscal year 2016 and itTopic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet or related consolidated resultsstatements of operations, financial positionequity or cash flows.
In March 2016, Therefore, prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting Topic 606 to the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, ImprovementsCompany as of January 1, 2018 relate to: (1) a change to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard reduces complexity in several aspectsfranchisee agreements recorded prior to 2017 of $22,000 which will be amortized over remaining term of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, includingfranchisee agreements; and (2) the income tax consequences, classificationtiming of awardscertain contractual agreements which amounted to $45,000 and subsequently recognized as either equity or liabilities,revenue in six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in (3) an increase in each of deferred revenue and classification on the statementaccumulated deficit of cash flows. $67,000. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard and the impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 reduction to deferred revenue. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated income statement for the adoption was not materialsix months ended June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 increase in revenue. Revenue recognition related to the consolidated financial statements.Company’s other revenue streams will remain substantially unchanged. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $16,500 of deferred revenue recognized upon adoption of Topic 606 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for a franchise contract over the next 18 months.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefPrincipal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 

We carried out an evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefPrincipal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company is in the process of executing a plan to address this lack of effectiveness.
