NOTE 1 - Organization

 

Aerkomm Inc. (formerly Maple Tree Kids Inc.) (“Aerkomm”) was incorporated on August 14, 2013 in the State of Nevada. Aerkomm was a retail distribution company selling all of its products over the internet in the United States, operating in the infant and toddler products business market.

 

On December 28, 2016, Aircom Pacific Inc. (“Aircom”) purchased 700,000 shares of Aerkomm’s common stock, representing approximately 86.3% of Aerkomm’s issued and outstanding common stock as of the closing date of purchase. As a result of the transaction, Aircom became the controlling shareholder of Aerkomm.

 

On February 13, 2017, Aerkomm entered into a share exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Aircom and its shareholders, pursuant to which Aerkomm acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Aircom in exchange for approximately 99.7% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Aerkomm (or 87.81% on a fully-diluted basis). As a result of the share exchange, Aircom became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aerkomm, and the former shareholders of Aircom became the holders of approximately 99.7% of Aerkomm’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

 

Aircom was incorporated on September 29, 2014 under the laws of the State of California.

 

On December 31, 2014, Aircom acquired a newly incorporated subsidiary, Aircom Pacific Ltd. (“Aircom Seychelles”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. Aircom Seychelles was formed to facilitate Aircom’s global corporate structure for both business operations and tax planning. Presently, Aircom Seychelles has no operations. Aircom is working with corporate and tax advisers in finalizing its global corporate structure and has not yet concluded its final plan.

 

On October 17, 2016, Aircom acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Aircom Pacific Inc. Limited (“Aircom HK”), a corporation formed under the laws of Hong Kong. The purpose of Aircom HK is to conduct Aircom’s business and operations in Hong Kong and China. Presently, its primary function is business development, both with respect to airlines as well as content providers and advertisement partners based in Hong Kong and China. Aircom HK is also actively seeking strategic partnerships whom Aircom may leverage in order to provide more and better services to its customers. Aircom also plans to provide local supports to Hong Kong-based airlines via Aircom HK and teleports located in the Hong Kong and China regions.

 

On December 15, 2016, Aircom acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Aircom Japan, Inc. (“Aircom Japan”), a corporation formed under the laws of Japan. The purpose of Aircom Japan is to conduct business development and operations located within Japan. Aircom Japan is in the process of applying for, and will be the holder of, Satellite Communication Blanket License in Japan, which is necessary for Aircom to provide services within Japan. Aircom Japan will also provide local supports to airlines operating within the territory of Japan.

 

Aircom Telecom LLC (“Aircom Taiwan”), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aircom in December 2017, was organized under the laws of Taiwan on June 29, 2016. During 2017, Aircom advanced a total of $460,000 to Aircom Taiwan, which was not affiliated with Aircom during that time, for working capital, as part of a planned $1,500,000 aggregate equity investment (the “Equity Investment”) in Aircom Taiwan. Before Aircom Taiwan was allowed to issue equity to Aircom, a foreign investor, the Equity Investment must be approved by the Investment Review Committee of the Ministry of Economic affairs of Taiwan (the “Committee”). Aircom entered into an Equity Pre-Subscription Agreement with Aircom Taiwan on August 13, 2017 to memorialize the terms of the Equity Investment. On December 19, 2017, the Committee approved Aircom’s initial Equity Investment (valued as of that date at NT$15,150,000, or approximately US$500,000) and the purchase of the founding owner’s total equity of NT$100,000 (approximately US$3,350). As a result, Aircom Taiwan became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aircom.

 

Aircom Taiwan is responsible for Aircom’s business development efforts and general operations within Taiwan.  We are currently planning to locate the site of our first ground station in Taiwan and we expect that if we raise sufficient funds to move forward with this project (although that cannot be guaranteed), Aircom Taiwan will play a significant role in building and operating that ground station.

 

Aircom and its subsidiaries are full service providers of in-flight entertainment and connectivity solutions with their initial market in the Asian Pacific region.

 

On June 13, 2018, Aerkomm established a new wholly owned subsidiary, Aerkomm Taiwan Inc. (“Aerkomm Taiwan”), a corporation formed under the laws of Taiwan. The purpose of Aerkomm Taiwan is to purchase a parcel of land for ground station building and operate the ground station for data processing.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - Organization - Continued

 

Aerkomm and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) have not generated significant revenues, excluding non-recurring revenues from affiliates in 2015, and will incur additional expenses as a result of being a public reporting company. If the Company is unable to obtain additional working capital, the Company’s business may fail. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $2,136,747 as of June 30, 2018, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The management believes the Company will improve its financial position by the public offering currently in progress, other financing activities, short-term borrowings and equity contributions.

 

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Change in Fiscal Year

 

On March 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. Year-over-year quarterly financial data continue to be comparative to prior periods as the three months that comprise each fiscal quarter in the new fiscal year are the same as those in the Company’s historical financial statements.

 

Principle of Consolidation

 

Aerkomm consolidates the accounts of its subsidiaries, Aircom, Aircom Seychelles, Aircom HK, Aircom Japan, Aircom Taiwan and Aerkomm Taiwan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications of Prior Period Presentation

 

Certain prior period balance sheet amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in banks. As of June 30, 2018, the total balance of cash in bank exceeded the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for the Company by approximately $141,000. The cash deposited in foreign financial institutions is fully insured.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are recorded at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. The Company assesses the impact of changing technology on its inventory on hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. Estimated losses on scrap and slow-moving items are recognized in the allowance for losses. 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When value impairment is determined, the related assets are stated at the lower of fair value or book value. Significant additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line and double declining method over the following estimated service lives: computer equipment - 3 to 5 years, furniture and fixtures - 5 years, satellite equipment – 5 years and vehicles – 5 years.

 

Construction costs for on-flight entertainment equipment not yet in service are recorded under construction in progress.

 

Upon sale or disposal of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss credited or charged to income in the period of sale or disposal.

 

The Company reviews the carrying amount of property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. It determined that there was no impairment loss for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the amount by which the total purchase price paid exceeded the estimated fair value of net assets acquired from acquisition of subsidiaries. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment.

 

Purchased intangible assets with finite life are amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of respective assets. Purchased intangible assets with indefinite life are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Purchased intangible asset consists of satellite system software and is amortized over 10 years.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, other receivable, short-term bank loan and other payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred approximately $146,900 and $116,547 of research and development costs, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Adjustments to prior period’s income tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current period’s tax provision.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

 

The Company follows FASB guidance on uncertain tax positions and has analyzed its filing positions in all the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in those jurisdictions. The Company files income tax returns in the US federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it conducts business. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

 

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with any uncertain tax positions is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. Penalties and interest paid or received, if any, are recorded as part of other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Translation Adjustments

 

If a foreign subsidiary’s functional currency is the local currency, translation adjustments will result from the process of translating the subsidiary’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such adjustments are accumulated and reported under other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholder’s equity.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock warrants and outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased by employees under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions after the reported period up to August 10, 2018, the date on which these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition as of June 30, 2018 have been included in these consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Financial Instruments

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

Intangibles

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which goodwill shall be tested at least annually for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modifies lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

On June 23, 2017, the Board of Directors voted to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Aerkomm 2017 Plan to 10,000,000 shares. The Aerkomm 2017 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to employees, consultants and outside directors of the Company.

The option agreements granted on June 23, 2017 are classified into three types of vesting schedule, which includes, 1) 1/6 of the shares subject to the option shall vest commencing on the vesting start date and the remaining shares shall vest at the rate of 1/60 for the next 60 months on the same day of the month as the vesting start date; 2) 1/4 of the shares subject to the option shall vest commencing on the vesting start date and the remaining shares shall vest at the rate of 1/36 for the next 36 months on the same day of the month as the vesting start date; 3) 1/3 of the shares subject to the option shall vest commencing on the first anniversary of vesting start date and the remaining shares shall vest at the rate of 50% each year for the next two years on the same day of the month as the vesting start date.

NOTE 11 – Stock Based Compensation – Continued

 

Valuation and Expense Information

 

Measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values is required for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors including employee stock options. The Company recognized compensation expense of $383,457 and $784,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to such employee stock options.

 

Determining Fair Value

 

Valuation and amortization method

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing-model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant or modification and amortizes the fair value of stock-based compensation at the date of grant on a straight-line basis for recognizing stock compensation expense over the vesting period of the option.

 

Expected term

 

The expected term is the period of time that granted options are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the SEC’s simplified method for determining the option expected term based on the Company’s historical data to estimate employee termination and options exercised.

 

Expected dividends

 

The Company does not plan to pay cash dividends before the options are expired. Therefore, the expected dividend yield used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model is zero.

 

Expected volatility

 

Since the Company has no historical volatility, it used the calculated value method which substitutes the historical volatility of a public company in the same industry to estimate the expected volatility of the Company’s share price to measure the fair value of options granted under Aircom 2014 Plan and Aerkomm 2017 Plan.

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

The Company based the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the market yield in effect at the time of option grant provided in the Federal Reserve Board’s Statistical Releases and historical publications on the Treasury constant maturities rates for the equivalent remaining terms for Aircom 2014 Plan and Aerkomm 2017 Plan.

 

Forfeitures

 

The Company is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

 

The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted in 2018 and 2017 under Aircom 2014 Plan and Aerkomm 2017 Plan as follows:

 

  Assumptions    
  Expected term   3 - 5 years
  Expected volatility   40.11% - 59.70%
  Expected dividends   0%
  Risk-free interest rate   0.71 - 2.89%
  Forfeiture rate   0% - 5%

Overview

 

With advanced technologies and a unique business model, we, as a service provider of in-flight entertainment and connectivity, or IFEC, solutions, intend to provide airline passengers with a broadband in-flight experience that encompasses a wide range of service options. Such options include Wi-Fi, cellular, movies, gaming, live TV, and music. We plan to offer these core services, which we are currently still developing, through both built-in in-flight entertainment systems, such as a seat-back display, as well as on passengers’ personal devices. We also expect to provide content management services and e-commerce solutions related to our IFEC solutions.

 

We plan to partner with airlines and offer airline passengers free IFEC services. We expect to generate revenue through advertising and in-flight transactions. We believe that this is an innovative approach that differentiates us from existing market players.

 

To complement and facilitate our planned IFEC service offerings, we intend to build satellite ground stations and related data centers within the geographic regions where we expect to be providing IFEC airline services. Initially, we are planning to build our first ground station and data center in the Asia region, subject to the availability of sufficient capital and an appropriate ground location.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Financial Performance

 

We believe that our operating and business performance is driven by various factors that affect the commercial airline industry, including trends affecting the travel industry and trends affecting the customer bases that we target, as well as factors that affect wireless Internet service providers and general macroeconomic factors. Key factors that may affect our future performance include:

 

our ability to enter into and maintain long-term business arrangements with airline partners, which depends on numerous factors including the real or perceived availability, quality and price of our services and product offerings as compared to those offered by our competitors;
the extent of the adoption of our products and services by airline partners and customers;
costs associated with implementing, and our ability to implement on a timely basis, our technology, upgrades and installation technologies;
costs associated with and our ability to execute our expansion, including modification to our network to accommodate satellite technology, development and implementation of new satellite-based technologies, the availability of satellite capacity, costs of satellite capacity to which we may have to commit well in advance, and compliance with regulations;
costs associated with managing a rapidly growing company;
the number of aircraft in service in our markets, including consolidation of the airline industry or changes in fleet size by one or more of our commercial airline partners;
the economic environment and other trends that affect both business and leisure travel;
continued demand for connectivity and proliferation of Wi-Fi enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops;
our ability to obtain required telecommunications, aviation and other licenses and approvals necessary for our operations; and
changes in laws, regulations and interpretations affecting telecommunications services and aviation, including, in particular, changes that impact the design of our equipment and our ability to obtain required certifications for our equipment.

 

Going Concern Opinion

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated significant revenues and will incur additional expenses as a result of being a public reporting company. If we are unable to obtain additional working capital, our business may fail. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flow from limited operations, augmented by cash proceeds from financing activities, short-term borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders. We must raise cash to implement our projected plan of operations.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

 21 

 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

Recent Developments

 

On May 1, 2018, we and our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Aerkomm Taiwan, entered into a binding memorandum of understanding with Tsai Ming-Yin, or the Seller, with respect to the acquisition by Aerkomm Taiwan of a parcel of land, or the Parcel, located at the Taishui Grottoes in the Xinyi District of Keelung City, Taiwan, or Acquisition, for a purchase price, or Purchase Price, of New Taiwan Dollars One Billion Five Thousand Six Hundred Twenty-nine Million Seven Thousand Five Hundred and Seven (NT$1,056,297,507), approximately US$34,712,373 at the exchange rate in effect on May 1st. The Parcel consists of approximately 6.36 acres of undeveloped land and is expected to be used by our company and Aerkomm Taiwan to build our first satellite ground station and data center. Pursuant to the terms of the memorandum, we paid to the Seller in installments a refundable deposit in U.S. dollars of $18 million as of June 26, 2018, which was equal to approximately 50% of the purchase price at the May 1st exchange rate.

 

On July 10, 2018, our company, Aerkomm Taiwan and the Seller entered into a certain Real Estate Sales Contract, or the Definitive Agreement, with respect to the Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, and subsequent amendment on July 30, 2018, the remaining amount of the purchase price, $16,474,462, which may also be paid in installments, must be paid in full by our company and Aerkomm Taiwan in cash before September 4, 2018. The July 30th amendment to the Definitive Agreement, among other things, fixed the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the New Taiwan Dollar, to determine the exact U.S. Dollar amount that will be required to pay the full Purchase Price which is denominated in New Taiwan Dollars. The exchange rate at which the Purchase Price will be settled was fixed at US$1=NT$30.64, which is the average of spot bid (US$1=NT$30.59) and ask (US$=NT$30.69) prices as posted by Bank of Taiwan on July 23, 2018. Accordingly, the Purchase Price expressed in U.S. Dollars is US $34,474,462. The parties to the Definitive Agreement acknowledge that all payments by our company to the Seller have been made from the net proceeds of our ongoing public offering and that the balance of payments is expected to be made from the net proceeds of additional closings of the offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, if we are not able to raise sufficient additional funds in the offering to pay the balance of the purchase price prior to September 4, 2018, we may notify the Seller of this fact and cancel the Definitive Agreement. In such case, the full amount paid by us to the Seller will be returned to us, without interest, in cash or in securities or a combination of cash and securities if the Seller does not have sufficient cash on hand to return the payments in full in cash. The parties agreed that “securities” means securities traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or on the OTC or the foreign equivalent of an exchange-traded or OTC-traded security. The value of any securities so transferred to us shall be valued by an independent Taiwanese third party, Caijie Asset Management Co., Ltd. Additionally, even if we are able to pay the full purchase price prior to September 4, 2018, the Seller may cancel the Definitive Agreement for any reason upon written notice to Aerkomm Taiwan prior to October 4, 2018. Within 90 days following full payment of the purchase price by us to the Seller, assuming the Seller does not exercise his right of cancellation by October 4, 2018, the Seller shall obtain all documents necessary for the title transfer and registration from his escrow attorneys and apply for the registration of the transfer of the Parcel title to Aerkomm Taiwan. If there is a delay or breach by Aerkomm Taiwan in its performance of its obligations under the Definitive Agreement, Aerkomm Taiwan shall be responsible to the Seller for punitive liquidated damages at the rate of one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the purchase price for each day of delay or breach, with such damages capped at a maximum of five percent (5%).  As of August 9, 2018, we have paid $33,850,000 out of the $34,474,462 total purchase price.

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Definitive Agreement, our company and Aerkomm Taiwan entered into a separate binding letter of Commitment, or the Commitment Letter, with Metro Investment Group Limited, or MIGL, pursuant to which our company and Aerkomm Taiwan have agreed to pay MIGL an agent commission, or the Agent Commission of four percent (4%) of the full purchase price, equivalent to NT$42,252,900, or approximately US$1,388,528 at the current exchange rate, for MIGL’s services provided with respect to the Acquisition. The Agent Commission must be paid to MIGL no later than 90 days following the signing of the Definitive Agreement and payment in full of the purchase price. If there is a delay in payment of the Agent Commission, our company and Aerkomm Taiwan shall be responsible to MIGL for punitive liquidated damages at the rate of one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the Agent Commission per day of delay with a maximum cap to these damages of five percent (5%). Under applicable Taiwanese law, the Agent Commission is due and payable upon signing of the Commitment Letter even if the Definitive Agreement is cancelled for any reason and the Acquisition is not completed.

  

On June 20, 2018, we entered into a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement (the “Tencent Framework Agreement”) with Guang Dong Tengnan Internet Information Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. (“Tencent”), one of the leading integrated internet service providers in China. Pursuant to the terms of the Tencent Framework Agreement, we and Tencent agreed to cooperate to explore ways to incorporate Tencent’s platform of product offerings, such as WeChat Pay and Tencent QQ instant messaging, into our in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems. For a more detailed discussion of the Tencent Framework Agreement and a related agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2018.

Total comprehensive loss  $(2,136,747)  $(2,425,608)  $288,861    (11.9)%

 

Sales. Our sales were $0 for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as we are still developing our core business in in-flight entertainment and connectivity and there was no non-recurring sale of equipment to related parties during the periods.

 

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales was $0 for both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as we did not have any sales during the periods.

 

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by $287,600 to $2,135,585 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, from $2,423,185 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. Such decrease was mainly due to the decrease in accounting expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, R&D expense and legal expense of $227,570, $400,543, $367,768 and $64,137, respectively, which was offset by the increase in consulting fees and investor relation expenses of $468,846 and $277,961, respectively.

 

Net non-operating income. We had $5,454 in net non-operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to net non-operating income of $635 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. Net non-operating income in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 represents interest expense of $2,032 and gain on foreign exchange of $7,444, while net non-operating income in the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 includes a foreign exchange translation gain of $934.

 

Loss before income taxes. Our loss before income taxes decreased by $292,419 to $2,130,131 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, from a loss of $2,422,550 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, as a result of the factors described above.

 

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $0 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the income taxes expense of $3,051 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 was mainly due to California franchise tax and foreign subsidiary’s income tax expenses.

 

Total comprehensive loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our total comprehensive loss decreased by $288,861 to $2,136,747 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, from a total comprehensive loss of $2,425,608 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $580,615. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash proceeds from financing activities, short-term borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders.

 

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow:

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used for operating activities was $4,452,245 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $470,302 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. In addition to the net loss of $2,130,131, the increase in net cash used for operating activities was mainly due to increase in prepaid expenses, decrease in accrued expenses, other payable – related parties, and other payable of $666,502, $463,581, $384,102 and $1,435,059, respectively, offset by the decrease in deposits $93,694.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $18,373,400 as compared to $344,775 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was mainly due to the $18 million deposits paid toward the purchase of a parcel of land to build our first satellite ground station and data center. We also used $142,150 for the purchase of property and equipment. 

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $23,354,639 and $344,021, respectively. These net cash amounts provided by financing activities were mainly attributable to proceeds from the issuance of our common stock increase in subscribed capital and short-term loans from affiliates in the amount of $23,223,979, which was offset by the repayment of short-term bank loan and short-term loans from affiliates in the amount $10,000 and $325,040, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and issuance of our common stocks in the amount of $300,021 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

On May 14, 2018, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC in connection with the public offering, issuance and sale of up to 7,058,823 shares of our common stock on a best efforts basis, with a minimum requirement of 588,235 shares, at the public offering price of $8.50 per share, less underwriting discounts, for minimum gross proceeds $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of $60,000,000. We also granted Boustead Securities, LLC an over-subscription option, exercisable on or prior to the Offering Termination Date to extend the offering for an additional 45 days, pursuant to which we may sell up to 1,058,823 additional shares of the common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts. The material terms of this offering are described in the prospectus, dated May 14, 2018, filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC, on May 14, 2018 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. This offering is registered with the SEC pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended and supplemented to date (File No. 333-222208), initially filed by us on December 20, 2017.

 

As of June 30, 2018, we held seven closings of this offering, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,885,543 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $24.5 million, or net proceeds of approximately $22.7 million after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us. Subsequent to June 30, 2018, we held an additional four closings in which we sold an additional 2,239,268 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $19.0 million, or net proceeds of approximately $17.8 million. Additional closings of this offering may be held from time to time until August 5, 2018, which date was extended until September 4, 2018 and which may be further extended for up to an additional 45 days if the over-subscription option is exercised.

 

Currently available working capital will not be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels for the next twelve months. We expect to satisfy our working capital requirements over the next twelve months through the sale of equity or debt securities. However, we do not have any commitment from any third-party to invest in our company or otherwise acquire any of our equity or debt securities and there can be no assurances that we will be able to secure any such commitments. Furthermore, even if we successfully raise sufficient capital to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months, in the future, we will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in these efforts. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

  

Capital Expenditures

 

Our operations continue to require significant capital expenditures primarily for technology development, equipment and capacity expansion. Capital expenditures are associated with the supply of airborne equipment to our prospective airline partners, which correlates directly to the roll out and/or upgrade of service to our prospective airline partners’ fleets. Capital spending is also associated with the expansion of our network, ground stations and data centers and includes design, permitting, network equipment and installation costs.

 

Capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $18,520,300, and $279,995, respectively.

 

We anticipate an increase in capital spending in fiscal year 2018 and estimate that capital expenditures will range from $6 million to $60 million as we begin airborne equipment installations and continue to execute our expansion strategy.

 

 24 

 

 

Inflation

 

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in our industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

 

Seasonality

 

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to significant seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Inventories. Inventories are recorded at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. We assess the impact of changing technology on our inventory on hand and write off inventories that are considered obsolete. Estimated losses on scrap and slow-moving items are recognized in the allowance for losses.

 

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred approximately $146,900 and $116,547 of research and development costs, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When value impairment is determined, the related assets are stated at the lower of fair value or book value. Significant additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method and double declining method over the following estimated service lives: computer equipment - 3 to 5 years, furniture and fixtures - 5 years and satellite equipment – 5 years. Construction costs for on-flight entertainment equipment not yet in service are recorded under construction in progress. Upon sale or disposal of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss credited or charged to income in the period of sale or disposal. We review the carrying amount of property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We determined that there was no impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the amount by which the total purchase price paid exceeded the estimated fair value of net assets acquired from acquisition of subsidiaries. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Purchased intangible assets with finite life are amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of respective assets. Purchased intangible assets with indefinite life are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, purchased intangible asset consists of satellite system software and is amortized over 10 years.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We utilize the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions.

 

 25 

 

 

The carrying amounts of our cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, short-term loans, accounts payable, and other payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Foreign Currency Translation.  If a foreign subsidiary’s functional currency is the local currency, translation adjustments will result from the process of translating the subsidiary’s financial statements into the reporting currency of our company. Such adjustments are accumulated and reported under other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholder’s equity.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2018.

 

Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Transition Report on Form 10-KT filed on April 30, 2018 for the transition period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018 and further referenced below, which we are still in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

 

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on the use of external legal and accounting professionals.

 

As disclosed in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT filed on April 30, 2018, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we continued to implement the following remedial procedures:

 

We are looking to hire additional personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel. As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

 

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weakness discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weakness that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

There were no material developments during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” of our Transition Report on Form 10-KT filed on April 30, 2018.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.

 

Certain Risks Associated with the Definitive Agreement

 

The entry into the Definitive Agreement and related amendments subjects the Company to significant risks. Investors in the Offering and other purchasers of the Company’s securities should carefully consider these risks before making an investment decision regarding an investment in the Company.

 

Risks Relating to the Refund of the Purchase Price in Securities

 

As indicated above, it is possible that the Company could receive Securities in lieu of a cash repayment in refund of the Purchase Price amount. The possible repayment to the Company in Securities involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following risks actually occurs, the Company’s cash flow, financial condition and operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The Company has already deposited US$33,850,000 toward the Purchase Price and expects to deposit an additional US $642,462 on or before September 4, 2018. Notwithstanding these significant deposits, the Seller has the unilateral right to cancel the Definitive Agreement on or before October 4, 2018 and may not have enough cash available to refund the deposited amounts to the Company upon such cancellation. The Company may lose some or all of the entire amount deposited, which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

 

If the Seller or the Company cancels the Definitive Agreement for any reason, then the Seller is required to either return the cash previously deposited or provide us with an equivalent value in securities of a U.S. exchange-traded or OTC-traded security or the foreign equivalent thereof, or a combination of cash and Securities. There is no restriction on the Seller utilizing the cash deposited by us and such cash is not being held in escrow. Accordingly, upon cancellation of the Agreement the Seller may not have any cash to return to us. As noted above, the Seller may deliver to us Securities instead of cash. However, the Seller may not have any Securities to deliver to us either. In this case, the Company would have to resort to litigation in Taiwan to seek a recovery of the deposited amount. Any such litigation would be costly and the results thereof uncertain. Accordingly, the Company could lose all or a significant portion of the cash deposited with the Seller.

 

The Seller has deposited the deed to the Parcel with its legal counsel and has instructed such counsel to enter into an agreement with the Company’s counsel that provides for a release to the Company of the deed to the Parcel if the Seller terminates the Definitive Agreement and does not have the cash or Securities to refund the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding this escrow arrangement, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the full amount of funds deposited with the Seller.

 

Furthermore, if the Seller does not have sufficient cash to refund the entire deposit, the value of the Securities it may deliver to the Company in lieu of cash is to be determined by Caijie Asset Management Co., Ltd., which is an independent third-party appraiser selected mutually by the parties. If the Company does not agree with the value of the Securities ascribed by the appraiser, the Company has limited recourse as the parties have mutually agreed upon such appraiser.

  

If Securities are delivered to the Company instead of cash, we may become the owner of Securities of one or more companies that we did not perform any due diligence investigation upon and which we may know nothing about. Furthermore, any Securities that we receive may be illiquid and we may have to hold them for an indeterminate amount of time. While holding these Securities, the market value thereof may decline and we may suffer the loss of some or all of the cash deposits we have made so far.

 

If Securities are delivered to the Company by the Seller upon a cancellation of the Definitive Agreement, such Securities may ultimately become worthless and the Company may lose the entire amount deposited.

 

If the Company or the Seller cancels the Definitive Agreement and the Seller is only able to refund the Purchase Price in Securities rather than cash and the Company does not raise any additional capital in the Offering, the Company may be left without any working capital and may not be able to continue operations.

 

The majority of the Company’s cash has been deposited with the Seller toward the Purchase Price. If the Definitive Agreement is cancelled and the Company receives all or part of the deposit back in Securities or does not receive the deposit back at all, the Company may not have sufficient working capital to execute its business plan. The Company may not be able to raise additional capital in the Offering or otherwise to resolve any such working capital deficit. In such circumstance, the Company may not be able to operate as a going concern.

  

 28 

 

 

A receipt by the Company of Securities in a refund of the Purchase Price could result in the Company being defined as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

To date, the Company has forwarded to the Seller deposits totaling US$33,850,000 and intends to forward additional deposits in US Dollars to complete the payment of the full Purchase Price. If the Seller is required to refund these deposits and does so in Securities valued at the amount of the Company’s total deposits to the Seller, the value of such Securities would exceed forty percent (40%) of the value of the Company’s total assets, and as such, the Company would be deemed to be an “investment company” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Investment Company Act”). The Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed requirements for the organization and operation of investment companies. Among other things, the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder limit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, generally prohibit the issuance of options, impose certain governance requirements and would require the Company to register separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. Although the Company is conducting its operations so that the Company will not be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, if the Company is required to accept Securities in lieu of cash for a refund by the Seller in the event that the Acquisition is canceled pursuant a termination of the Definitive Agreement by either the Company or the Seller, this would cause the Company to be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and impose on the Company various burdensome requirements specified by the Investment Company Act. Such restrictions could make it impractical for the Company to continue its business as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among it, its subsidiaries and its senior personnel, or any combination thereof, and materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

For additional information regarding risk factors, please refer to our prospectus dated May 14, 2018 contained in our Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2018, which may be accessed via EDGAR through the Internet at www.sec.gov.
