ASTRO AEROSPACE LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

Unaudited 

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Astro Aerospace Ltd. (“Astro” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a developer of self-piloted and autonomous, manned and unmanned, eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing) aerial vehicles. The Company intends to provide the market with a mainstream mode of everyday, aerial transportation for both humans and cargo. Astro currently has a working prototype and is making engineering and mechanical improvements to it.

 

Astro is the successor corporation to CPSM, Inc., which through its subsidiaries, Custom Pool and Spa Mechanics, Inc. (“Custom Pool and Spa”), and Custom Pool Plastering, Inc. (“CPP”) collectively (“Custom Pool”) were primarily engaged in the provision of full line pool and spa services, specializing in pool maintenance and service, repairs, leak detection, renovations, decking and remodeling.  The primary market area included Martin, Palm Beach, St Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties, Florida.

 

On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited (“MAAB”), the majority stockholder and parent of Astro, acquired control of CPSM, Inc. and on April 30, 2018, Custom Pool was sold to the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the CPSM (See Note 2, “Sale of Common Stock of Majority Stockholders and Resignation and Election of the Board of Directors” and Note 3, “ Sale of Custom Pool”).

 

On March 24, 2018 the articles of incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company from CPSM, Inc. to Astro Aerospace Ltd. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has one subsidiary, Astro Aerospace Ltd. (Canada), which is incorporated in Canada and is used mainly for refunds of the Goods and Services Tax in Canada.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company had a net loss of $(6,719,484) and used $(712,964) cash in operations, and at September 30, 2018, had negative working capital of $(95,121), current assets of $29,277, and an accumulated deficit of $(7,104,687). The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating the Company’s technologies. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company acknowledges that its current cash position is insufficient to maintain the current level of operations and research and development, and that the Company will be required to raise substantial additional capital to continue its operations and fund its future business plans. The Company intends to continue to raise funds through its parent, MAAB, and plans to raise additional capital in the private and public securities markets by the end of 2018. MAAB’s outstanding note payable balance was $498,758 and there is $251,242 available under the terms of the note at September 30, 2018.

NOTE 2 – SALE OF COMMON STOCK OF MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS AND RESIGNATION AND ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, majority stockholders controlled by Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, sold 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB Global Limited, a non-affiliate of the Company, paid from Bruce Bent, officer and director of MAAB Global Limited’s personal funds resulting in a change of control of the Company.  The stock was transferred to MAAB Global Limited effective March 14, 2018.  The 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares represented 62.35% and 100% of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence Calarco, Loreen Calarco and Charles Dargan II resigned as officers and directors of the Company.  Additionally, on March 14, 2018, Jeffrey Michel and Randy Sofferman resigned as directors of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, Bruce Bent, age 62, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. He will stand for re-election at the next annual meeting of the shareholders.  There are no material arrangements to which Mr. Bent is a party, and there is no family relationship between him and any other party connected to the Company.

 

NOTE 3 – SALE OF CUSTOM POOL

 

On April 30, 2018, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 16, 2018, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries, for 13,668,900 common shares of the Company held by the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company.  The Board of Directors subsequently authorized the cancellation of those common shares.  After said cancellation, the total issued and outstanding common shares is 69,270,060.  The Share Exchange Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and written consent of shareholders holding 62.35% of the voting securities of the Company as of April 16, 2018.

 

The Company determined that there would be no gain or loss on the sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 505-30-10, “Equity – Nonreciprocal Transfers with Owners”. Essentially the transaction is similar to a spin-off or reorganization since the Company acquired shares of its own common stock for the common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries. As such, the transaction is accounted for at the recorded (book value) amount. The book value of the net assets was $876,440.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM CONFIDA AEROSPACE, LTD.

 

On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Confida Aerospace Ltd. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased in-process research and development (“IPRD”) consisting of inventory, hardware designs, software designs, and a trademark all pertaining to passenger drone design and use from Confida Aerospace Ltd. As consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Confida Aerospace Ltd., 10,000 of the Company’s Series B preferred shares (See, Note 11, “Convertible Preferred Stock”).  Each preferred share is convertible into 1,333 common shares and 1,333 warrants.  Each warrant is exercisable into one of the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of $.75.  The warrants have an exercise period of five years upon conversion. Additionally, the Company assumed $50,000 of debts incurred by Confida Aerospace Ltd. related to drone development.

 


11


All of the authorized shares of the Series B Convertible Stock were issued for the assets and $50,000 of accrued liabilities were assumed. The fair market value of the preferred stock was $7,131,214 as determined by an independent third party valuation firm. The fair market value was arrived at using an equivalent conversion into the common stock of Astro, which is trading in the Over-The-Counter Market. Appropriate restrictions and marketability discounts were applied, including using the 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share. The fair value of the common stock equivalent was $3,753,271. As well, the warrants issued in conjunction with the common stock were valued using the Black Scholes Model. The inputs used were a 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share, exercise price of $0.75 per share, a ten year term, a risk free rate of 2.97%, a volatility of 51% and no dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants was $3,377,943.

 

The Company determined the fair value of the IPRD based on the fair market value of the consideration paid for the IPRD: 10,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and 1,333 common stock warrants. The drone prototype is in an early development stage and the fair value is not determinable using cash flow projections and such projections were not available. It is anticipated that the drone will be marketable in 2020 and at that time material net cash flows are expected to commence.

 

Further analysis of the IPRD determined that the recoverability of the fair value carrying amount was not probable and an impairment expense of $6,310,214 was incurred to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to $871,000, which approximates cost.

 

As well, after the initial 90 day period for the assumption of liabilities, the Company determined that it would most likely only assume $25,000 of liabilities and has adjusted the condensed consolidated financial statements accordingly. As of September 30, 2018, the expenses related to the liabilities had been incurred and the impairment expense was reduced by $25,000 to $6,285,214.

 

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared  in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position  as of September 30, 2018 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Company's Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018.

 

Cash

 

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less or money market accounts held at financial institutions are considered to be cash. Substantially all of the cash is placed with one financial institution. From time to time during the year the cash accounts are exposed to credit loss for


12


amounts in excess of insured limits of $250,000 in the event of non-performance by the institution, however, it is not anticipated that there will be non-performance.

 

Intangible Assets – Acquired In-Process Research and Development

 

Acquired in-process research and development consists of acquired drone technology and engineering and trademarks. The Company reviews the IPRD, which currently has an indefinite useful life, for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs creating the potential for impairment, until such time as the research and development efforts are completed or abandoned.  If the research and development efforts are abandoned, the related costs will be written off in the period of such determination. If the research and development efforts are completed successfully, the related assets will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying products. The Company will amortize the cost of identified intangible assets using amortization methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. An impairment expense of $6,285,214 was incurred in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company does not currently have any revenue. In discontinued operations, revenue was recognized when the pool service was completed and the collectability was reasonably assured. For pool resurfacing and remediation work, revenue was recognized at the time of completion of the job.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of GAAP which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options and restricted stock issuances based on estimated fair values.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of stock-based awards is generally recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in income.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP.  Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date.  If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized.  Management believes there are no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 


13


The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of September 30, 2018. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.

 

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Earnings per Share

 

The Company computes (loss) earnings per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, computed using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and the if converted method for convertible notes and preferred stock. Dilutive (loss) earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to the net loss during the period, and the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the net loss during that period. The common stock equivalents are comprised of stock options, convertible promissory notes and the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Further, the Company has presented its discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations”, which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations and the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share from discontinued operations in addition to the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share.

 


14


 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations, the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings from discontinued operations and the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share  were computed as follows:

Fair Value Measurement

 

Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to the fair values determined by using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the assets based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company has determined the appropriate level of the hierarchy and applied it to its financial assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 there were no assets or liabilities carried or measured at fair value.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

NOTE 6 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.  The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations. Early application will be permitted for all organizations.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”.  The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which we are required to apply for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidelines currently did not impact our revenue presentation.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. Because the current definition of a business is interpreted broadly and can be difficult to apply, stakeholders indicated that analyzing transactions is inefficient and costly and that the definition does not permit the use of reasonable judgment. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting”, to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment


16


award.  The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity should apply the amendments in this update prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 7 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

 

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES

 

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, which specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

 

Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and overdrafts in the bank account as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures its line of credit, notes payable and loans in accordance with the hierarchy of fair value based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 


17


 

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The estimated fair value of the cash, line of credit, notes payable, and loans at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On March 14, 2018, 1,500,000 stock options were cancelled and two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with a six month maturity were issued to the former option  holders. The principal amount is $25,000 each and there is no prepayment penalty. The Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock based upon the average of the previous ten trading days’ closing price of the stock, at the maturity date of the Notes. Upon conversion of the notes, Bruce Bent or MAAB Global Limited shall have the option to purchase the common stock issued at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock over the previous 10 trading days. The option to purchase expires ten days after the issuance of the common stock.

 

On September 18, 2018, at the maturity of the Notes, the entire outstanding balance was converted into 38,886 shares of common stock of the Company, which included $2,534 of accrued interest. The Company issued the shares of common stock on October 22, 2018.

 

NOTE 10 – PROMISSORY NOTE FROM PARENT

 

On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited, the parent of Astro, issued a Promissory Note for monetary advances to the Company of up to $750,000. The Promissory Note matures on February 28, 2021. The Promissory Note has an interest charge of 10%, compounded monthly.

 


18


Interest accrues on the principal amount or portion thereof which remains unpaid from time to time as well as any interest outstanding, from the date the principal amount is advanced until and including the date upon which the principal amount and all interest due under this promissory note shall be fully paid. The principal amount advanced under the Promissory Note is $498,758 through September 30, 2018. The Company has accrued interest expense of $16,781 at September 30, 2018.

 

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

In December 2015, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a $0.0001 par value and no liquidation value. The Series A Preferred has an 8% dividend paid quarterly, and is convertible into one share of common stock. The Series A Preferred is senior to the common stock as to dividends, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred also has certain voting and registration rights.

 

In January 2016, the Company issued 1,562,500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, sold all 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB Global Limited, a non-affiliate of the Company. Cumulative undeclared Series A Preferred dividends were $5,000 at September 30, 2018.

 

On May 4, 2018, the Board of Directors of Astro Aerospace Ltd. authorized 10,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred”), par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred is entitled to a dividend, when declared by the Board of Directors, votes with all other classes of stock as a single class of stock on all actions to by the stockholders of the Company, and each share of Preferred is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 1,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. On May 8, 2018, the Company issued all of the 10,000 authorized Series B Preferred shares in the acquisition of certain assets from Confida Aerospace Ltd.  

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the shares of Series B preferred stock shall share pro rata with the holders of common stock, on an as if converted basis.

 

NOTE 12 – 2014 STOCK AWARDS PLAN

 

In November 2014, the board of directors of Custom Pool approved the adoptions of a Stock Awards Plan. A total of 7,000,000 shares were authorized to be issued under the plan. For incentive stock options, at the grant date the stock options exercise price is required to be at least 110% of the fair value of the Custom Pool’s common stock. The Plan permits the grants of common stock or options to purchase common stock. As plan administrator, the Board of Directors has sole discretion to set the price of the options. Further, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the plan.

 

On March 14, 2018, the Company cancelled all 3,250,000 outstanding stock options under the 2014 Stock Awards Plan, with 1,500,000 of the stock options exchanged for two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes with a six month maturity (see Note 9, “Convertible Promissory Notes”). Consequently, there are 7,000,000 shares available for issuance at September 30, 2018.

New Operations – Astro Aerospace, Ltd.

 

Astro Aerospace Ltd. (“Astro” or the “Company) has acquired the software, firmware and hardware for Version one of a manned drone which has executed multiple flights. It is Astro’s goal to transform how people and things get from place to place. This will be done by making safe, affordable user-friendly autonomous manned and unmanned Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft available to the mass market anywhere. Astro is currently working on Version two of the drone product which will feature design changes which enhance the top speed and length of time the drone can stay in the air and also adding additional safety features. The target market will be government, private sector operators and individuals for a wide range of commercial, logistical and personal uses.  Astro is currently in the flight testing mode of its Passenger Drone Version 1.0, as well as in the development stages of its version 2.0 Passenger Drone model and Version 1.0 of its Cargo Drone model.

 

The Company is working with Paterson Composites Inc., our design and manufacturing partner, who is leading the design and development team with responsibility for developing the team as well as building the new prototypes for the two new drone models. Astro recently added Kasaero GmbH (“Kasaero”), to the design team which is currently working alongside Paterson Composites to build Astro’s soon to be unveiled Passenger Drone Version 2.0 and Cargo Drone Version 1.0 models. Kasaero is responsible for enhancing the design for Version 2 and the Cargo Version, along with planning for the certification process of both. The Company applied for approval to test the Passenger Drone1.0 version in Canada in order to display new software, avionics and stability. The Company received an SFOC (Special Flight Operations Certificate) from Transport Canada in September 2018, allowing Astro to take to the sky, and put the Passenger Drone 1.0 “Elroy” through critical elements of integrated flight testing.  The testing culminated on Wednesday September 19, 2018 with a 4 minute and 30 second flight, reaching heights of over 60 feet and speeds of over 50 km/h. The avionics and flight control systems were put to task with a multitude of maneuvers and the vehicle remained exceptionally stable, even under the effects of a couple of unexpected wind gusts.

 

Overview – Discontinued Operation, Custom Pool

 

The Company’s discontinued operation, Custom Pool, historically was a full-service pool maintenance, resurfacing and repair company whose main service area is the Martin, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties of Florida.  The Company earned revenue by charging service fees in the pool service business and by payments under contracts in the pool resurfacing business.  The Company managed its operating margins of the businesses by controlling personnel costs, chemical and material purchases and other service costs such as motor vehicle and insurance costs.  Personnel were critical to the business since customers choose those companies who have the most experience and perform the service in a timely and professional manner.

 

Custom Pool competed in its markets on the basis of price and the quality of the service.  There are many pool service companies in the market and throughout Florida.  However, this also presented an opportunity for the Company since many of its competitors are smaller and lack the infrastructure and depth of the Company.  This allowed the Company to compete through offering a larger range of services with a lower cost structure and to pursue growth opportunities either through internal growth or through opportunistic acquisitions.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Management will expand the business through further investment of capital provided by the controlling shareholder and through a small capital raise expected to take place by the end of 2018. The Company will continue to keep expenses as low as possible with closely monitoring working capital, development cost and schedule, while the Company continues the development of Passenger Drone Version 1.0 and 2.0 and Cargo Drone Version 1.0.

Results of Operations

 

The Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any revenue. It is developing an eVTOL aircraft and expects that it will be marketing the aircraft some time in 2020. Astro did incur $223,287 in operating expenses, which the majority of the expenses was from $156,996 of research and development expense from the design and engineering of the eVTOL aircraft. There was $91,291 in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses and a $25,000 credit to the impairment expense from a reduction in accrued expenses. Other expenses were $22,780 and consist of banking and filing fees and interest expense. The Company expects to incur operating losses until the eVTOL aircraft is marketable and has passed government and safety regulations. Astro was not in operation in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

There were no discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company consummated the sale of Custom Pool on April 30, 2018. The discontinued operations of Custom Pool for the three months ended September 30, 2017 had pre-tax income of $15,051 on revenue of $1,224,700. Operating margins declined by a small percentage, 1%, from the same quarter in the prior year largely due to the slight decrease in revenue from small fluctuations in customers served. Some of which is the result of the impact from Hurricane Irma.

 

The Company had a net loss of $246,067 comprised of the eVTOL aircraft operations. Although the preferred stock dividend of $2,500 is undeclared, the net loss available to common stockholders is $248,567 as if the dividend was declared and accrued.

 

Astro also had a foreign currency translation loss of $716 from the difference in the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rates, which produced a comprehensive loss of $246,783.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any revenue. It is developing an eVTOL aircraft and expects that it will be marketing the aircraft sometime in 2020. Astro did incur $6,832,443 in operating expenses, which the majority of the expenses was from an impairment of the assets acquitted from Confida Aerospace of $6,285,214. The impairment expense was reduced by $25,000 due to a reduction of assumed accrued expenses as the expenses were incurred. The Company also incurred $427,816 in research and development expenses from the design and engineering of the eVTOL aircraft. There was $119,413 in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Other expenses were $27,974 and consist of banking and filing fees and interest expense, offset by an adjustment to prepaid corporate taxes. The Company expects to incur operating losses until the eVTOL aircraft is marketable and has passed government and safety regulations. Astro was not in operation in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The discontinued operations of Custom Pool are not comparable in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 since Custom Pool was sold on April 30, 2018 and therefore only four months of operations is in the 2018 period.

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Custom Pool had pre-tax income of $184,638 on revenue of $3,802,571. It paid income taxes of $59,776. The pre-tax income is a result of revenue from an increase in new pool service customers, as well as an increase in new pool plastering and resurfacing contracts. Some of the improvement was offset by general and administrative expenses due to increases in salaries and other compensation expenses, as well depreciation and amortization increased due to the purchase of additional


23


motor vehicles, and replacing older vehicles, as business in both the pools service and resurfacing business has expanded.

 

The Company had a net loss of $6,719,484 comprised of the eVTOL aircraft operations and the discontinued operations. There was also a preferred dividend accrual of $2,500 and undeclared preferred dividends of $5,000, which made the net loss available to common stockholders of $6,726,984.

Astro also had a foreign currency translation loss of $716 from the difference in the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rates, which produced a comprehensive loss of $6,720.200.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

The Company currently is not profitable and must finance its business through raising additional capital. Currently, the Company is financed through its parent, MAAB Global Limited, which has loaned the Company $498,758 and there is $251,242 available under the terms of the note through September 30, 2018. Further capital support will come from the parent, and the Company is looking for additional capital from third party sources by the end of 2018. There is no assurance that the third party capital will be available. In the event that additional capital from the private or public markets is not available, the Company will need to reduce its spending on development and operations to the level of the capital that is available from the parent.

 

The Company has prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company had a net loss of $6,719,484, and used $712,964 cash in operations, and at September 30, 2018, had negative working capital of $95,121, current assets of $29,277, and an accumulated deficit of $7,104,687. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating the Company’s technologies. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company has Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) for tax purposes due to the net loss of $6,719,484 through the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has taken a 100% income tax valuation allowance against it resulting in no deferred tax asset. At this time it is not known if the Company will become profitable with the ability to use the NOL.

 

The Company expects to spend $1,000,000 in the next six months and then another $1,000,000 in the subsequent six months on the development of the eVTOL aircraft.

 

In December 2015, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a $0.0001 par value. The Series A Preferred has an 8% dividend paid quarterly, and is convertible into one share of common stock. The Series A Preferred is senior to the common stock as to dividends, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred also has certain voting and registration rights.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, sold all 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB Global Limited, a non-affiliate of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, 1,500,000 stock options were cancelled and two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with a six month maturity were issued to the former option holders. The principal amount is $25,000 each and there is no prepayment penalty. The Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock based upon the average of the previous ten trading days’ closing price of the stock, at the maturity date of the Notes. Upon conversion of the notes, Bruce Bent or MAAB Global Limited shall have the


24


option to purchase the common stock issued at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock over the previous 10 trading days. The option to purchase expires ten days after the issuance of the common stock.

 

On September 18, 2018, at the maturity of the Notes, the entire outstanding balance was converted into 38,886 shares of common stock of the Company, which included $2,534 of accrued interest. The Company issued the shares of common stock on October 22, 2018

 

On May 4, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized 10,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred is entitled to a dividend, when declared by the Board of Directors, votes with all other classes of stock as a single class of stock on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company, and each share of Preferred is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 1,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. On May 8, 2018, the Company issued all of the 10,000 authorized Series B Preferred shares in the acquisition of certain assets from Confida Aerospace Ltd.

 

On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited, the parent of Astro, issued a Promissory Note for monetary advances to the Company of up to $750,000. The Promissory Note matures on February 28, 2021. The Promissory Note has an interest charge of 10%, compounded monthly.

 

Interest accrues on the principal amount or portion thereof which remains unpaid from time to time as well as any interest outstanding, from the date the principal amount is advanced until and including the date upon which the principal amount and all interest due under this promissory note shall be fully paid. The principal amount advanced under the Promissory Note is $498,758 through September 30, 2018. The Company has accrued interest expense of $16,781 at September 30, 2018.

 

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had a net loss of $6,719,484. We had the following adjustments to reconcile net income to cash flows from operating activities: an increase of $6,285,214 due to an impairment expense and an increase of $2,534 due to interest paid in common stock.

 

We had the following changes in operating assets and liabilities: an increase of $19,277 in other receivables, an increase of $10,000 in prepaid expenses, an increase of $20,494 in deposits, an increase of $3,833 in overdrafts at the bank, and increase of $123,065 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a decrease of $358,355 from the discontinued operations.

 

As a result, we had net cash used in operating activities of $712,964 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 which is largely due to the continued development of the eVTOL aircraft.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was not any operations of the Company. From the discontinued operations of Custom Pool, we had a net income of $124,862 and an increase from the discontinued operations during the period of $22,556. As a result, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $147,418 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we did not have any cash flow from investing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net cash used in investing activities of $10,688 from the discontinued operations of Custom Pool.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we accrued a preferred stock dividend of $2,500, and received $498,758 from a Promissory Note from the parent. As a result, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $496,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had cash used in financing activities of $152,359 from the discontinued operations of Custom Pool.


25


For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had a loss on foreign currency translation of $716. There was no foreign currency translation in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis of its Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on- going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the valuation of our assets and contingencies.  We believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances.  However, actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our financial statements are based on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we would experience additional losses from the write-down of assets.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.  The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations. Early application will be permitted for all organizations.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”.  The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which we are required to apply for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidelines currently did not impact our revenue presentation.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. Because the current definition of a business is interpreted broadly and can be difficult to apply, stakeholders indicated that analyzing transactions is inefficient and costly and that the definition does not permit the use of reasonable judgment. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting”, to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified


26


award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity should apply the amendments in this update prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has undergone operational and management changes, specifically with the sale of the discontinued operations and the acquisition of the new eVTOL aircraft in-process research and development and trademarks. In light of these changes management has assessed its internal controls and procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (who are the same person), of the effectiveness of our disclosure, controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2018.

 

A material weakness can be defined as an insufficiency of internal controls that may result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement will not be prevented, detected or corrected in a company’s financial statements.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer /Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, based on the following deficiencies:

 

Weaknesses in Accounting and Finance Personnel: We have a small accounting staff and we do not have the robust employee resources and expertise needed to meet complex and intricate GAAP


27


and SEC reporting requirements of a U.S. public company. Additionally, numerous adjustments and proposed adjustments have been noted by our auditors. This is deemed by management to be a material weakness in preparing financial statements.

 

We do not have written accounting policies and control procedures, and do not have sufficient staff to implement the related controls. Management had determined that this lack of written accounting policies and control procedures and the lack of the implantation of segregation of duties, represents a material weakness in our internal controls.

 

Internal control has as its core a basic tenant of segregation of duties. Due to our limited size and economic constraints, the Company is not able to segregate for control purposes various asset control and recording duties and functions to different employees. This lack of segregation of duties had been evaluated by management and has been deemed to be a material control deficiency.
