NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Drone USA, Inc. (“Drone”) is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) and related services and technology company that intends to engage in the research, design, development, testing, manufacturing, distribution, exportation, and integration of advanced low altitude UAV systems, services and products. Drone also provides product procurement, distribution, and logistics services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HowCo Distributing Co., (“HowCo”) (collectively, the “Company”) to the United States Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency. The Company has operations based in West Haven, Connecticut and Vancouver, Washington. The Company is registered with the U.S. State Department and has met the requirements of the Arms Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). The registration allows for the Company to apply for export, and temporary import, of product, technical data, and services related to defense articles. The Company continues to seek strategic acquisitions and partnerships with UAV firms that offer superior technologies in high-growth markets, as well as acquisitions and partnerships with firms that have complementary technologies and infrastructure.

 

On January 26, 2016, Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc., an inactive company trading on the Over-the-Counter Markets, acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Drone USA, LLC pursuant to an Equity Exchange Agreement and Drone USA, LLC paid a $100,000 cash fee which was expensed and included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses. Pursuant to the merger, the sole member of Drone USA, LLC received 38,309,321 shares of Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. common stock. As a result of this merger, the former sole member of Drone USA, LLC owned approximately 94% of the outstanding common stock of Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. immediately following the merger. In connection with the merger, the name of the company was changed to Drone USA, Inc. In connection with the merger, effective January 26, 2016, the Company accepted the resignation of the former Chief Executive Officer and any remaining former officers and directors, and appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman, and board member and a new Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, and board member. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger in which Drone USA, LLC is considered to be the acquirer of Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. Accordingly, the reverse merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Drone USA, LLC in which (i) the assets and liabilities of Drone USA, LLC were recorded at their historical book values, (ii) the common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts which replaced Drone USA, LLC’s member interests were retroactively restated to give effect to the exchange of the Drone USA, LLC member interests for Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. common stock, and (iii) the historical member deficit of Drone USA, LLC was recorded as stockholders’ (deficiency). There were no assets, liabilities, or equity to be accounted for related to the former operations of Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. In connection with the merger, Drone USA, Inc. is deemed to have issued 2,532,196 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc. In February 2016 the Company effected a 1 for 150 reverse split of the common stock as contemplated by the Equity Exchange Agreement and in April 2016 effected a 1 for 12 reverse split of the common stock. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactive restated to reflect both reverse splits.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Drone USA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Drone USA, LLC, and HowCo. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2018. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2017 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 29, 2017. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,300,573 and used cash in operations of $489,002. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit was $11,389,301, $7,504,934, and $15,156,998, respectively, at December 31, 2017. Furthermore, on April 13, 2017 the Company received a default notice on its payment obligations under the senior secured credit facility agreement (see Note 7), defaulted on its Note Payable – Seller in September 2017, and as of December 31, 2017 is subject to lawsuits and has received demands for payment of past due amounts from several consultants and service providers. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional capital as needed from the sales of stock or debt. The Company has been implementing cost-cutting measures and restructuring or setting up payment plans with vendors and service providers and plans to raise equity through a private placement, and restructure or repay its secured obligations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent 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. Significant estimates include the allowance for bad debt on accounts receivable, reserves on inventory, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment analysis, valuation of the earn-out liability at balance sheet dates, valuation of stock based compensation, the valuation of derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows the FASB Fair Value Measurements standard, as they apply to its financial instruments. This standard defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. The standard requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value and carrying amounts of current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company accounts for certain instruments at fair value using level 3 valuation.

 

   At December 31, 2017   At September 30, 2017 
Description  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3

A roll forward of the level 3 valuation financial instruments is as follows:

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods, which are purchased directly from manufacturers. The Company utilizes a just in time type of inventory system where products are ordered from the vendor only when the Company has received sales order from its customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized upon shipment of product to the customer. Provisions for returns and allowances are recorded in the period the sales occur. Payments received from customers prior to shipment of the product to them, are recorded as customer deposit liabilities.

 

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

 

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40.  This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date.  In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment. 

  

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution. Pursuant to ASB 260, as of December 31, 2017, 335,938 contingent shares issuable under a Securities purchase agreement (See Note 7) are not considered outstanding and are not included in basic net loss per shares or as potentially dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

 

   December 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
Stock options   44,351,200    27,645,000 
Warrants   600,000    500,000 
Related party convertible debt and accrued interest   4,527,184    3,104,000 
Senior convertible debt   28,665,412    - 
Convertible debt   5,902,192    - 
Contingent liability – advisory fees   4,944,667    1,437,540 
Total   88,990,655    32,686,540

Segment Reporting

 

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. As of December 31, 2017, the Company did not report any segment information since the Company only generates sales from its subsidiary, HowCo.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that attempts to establish a uniform basis for recording revenue to virtually all industries financial statements, under U.S. GAAP as amended in March 2016 and April 2016. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. In order to accomplish this objective, companies must evaluate the following five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. There are three basic transition methods that are available - full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. guidance at the date of initial application and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. guidance. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this new accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on leases. The new standard, among other changes, will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. The lease liability will be measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs (e.g. commissions). The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND ADVISORY FEE LIABILITIES

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility Note

 

Effective September 13, 2016 (“Effective Date”), the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility note (the “Agreement”) with an investment fund to provide capital for the acquisition of HowCo. The Company can borrow up to $6,500,000, subject to lender approval, with an initial convertible promissory note at closing of $3,500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 18% per annum, requires monthly payments of $52,500 which is interest only starting on October 13, 2016 through February 13, 2017, and monthly payments, including interest and principal, of $298,341 starting on March 13, 2017 through maturity on March 13, 2018. Events of default are defined in the Agreement and Convertible Note. In the event of default the Convertible Note balance will bear interest at 25% per annum. In connection with this Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay additional advisory fees of $850,000 payable in the form of cash or common stock in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Company was also required to reserve 7,000,000 shares of common stock related to this transaction. The reserved shares will be released upon the satisfaction of the loan.

 

In the event the lender makes additional loans under the Agreement, the Company agrees to pay additional advisory fees under similar terms as the $850,000 fee. As of December 31, 2017, the Company issued 539,204 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the $850,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement, such shares being issued in September 2016. Based upon the value of the shares, at the time the lender sells the shares, of which none were reported as sold by the lender as of December 31, 2017, the Company may be required to redeem unsold shares for the difference between the $850,000 and the lender’s sales proceeds. Accordingly, the $850,000 has been reflected as a current liability as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Lender has not realized net proceeds from the sale of Advisory Fee Shares equal to at least the Advisory Fee by the earlier to occur of: (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date; (B) the occurrence of an Event of Default; or (C) the Maturity Date, then at any time thereafter, the Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to the Borrower, to require that the Borrower redeem all Advisory Fee Shares then in Lender’s possession for cash equal to the Advisory Fee, less any cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any. In the event such redemption notice is given by the Lender, the Borrower shall redeem the then remaining Advisory Fee Shares in Lender’s possession for an amount of Dollars equal to the Advisory Fee, less any cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any, payable by wire transfer to an account designated by Lender within five (5) Business Days from the date the Lender delivers such redemption notice to the Borrower.

As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Convertible Note payable has not been converted and the principal balance of the Convertible Note was $3,500,000 and $3,500,000 and accrued interest was $276,668 and $169,417, respectively.

 

The Convertible Note is only convertible upon default or mutual agreement by both parties at a conversion rate of 85% of the lowest of the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the 5 business days immediately prior to the conversion date. Once a default occurs the Convertible Note will be accounted for as stock settled debt at its fixed monetary value and any shares issued upon conversion are also subject to a make whole provision similar to that described above for the $850,000 advisory fee payable. On March 13, 2017 the Company defaulted on the monthly principal and interest payment of $298,341. Due to this default, as of March 31, 2017, the Company has accounted for the embedded conversion option as stock settled debt and recorded a debt premium of $617,647 with a charge to interest expense, and the interest rate increased to 25% (default rate). The Company has been making interest-only payments of $52,500 each month, however, the Company has not made the full default interest payment of $72,917 per month. On April 13, 2017 the Company received a default notice from the lender and was given a 10-day period to cure the default. Such cure did not occur as of December 31, 2017. The lender has not notified the Company of any intention to convert the debt into shares and has not provided a notice to accelerate principal payments or advisory fee payments, however, in the default notice they reserved the right to do so at any time after the expiration of the cure period.

 

On March 28, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the above senior secured credit facility lender to receive a range of advisory services for a total of $1,200,000 with no definitive terms or length of service which is expensed and recorded as an accrued liability – advisory fees as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. If the Company is a quoted company on any listed exchange, the senior secured credit facility lender will accept a single preferred share convertible into common stock never to exceed 4.99%. The number of shares issued will be set at 100% of the amount due up to availability and subject to a make whole provision. The advisory fee, totaling $1,200,000, was earned upon execution of the agreement and is reported in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

In January 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and amended note agreements with the investment fund (see Note 13).

 

Other Convertible Debt

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”), which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2017-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, ASU 2017-11 requires entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For the Company, ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2017.

 

On October 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) under which the Company received $78,500, net of $21,500 in fees and expenses to be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the Note term, in return for issuing a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $100,000. Power Up received a right of first refusal for the first nine months from the date of the Note to provide any debt or equity financing less than $150,000. The Note bears interest at 10% per annum and has a maturity date of July 15, 2018. The Note may be prepaid at a premium ranging from 112% to 137% depending on the length of time following the date of the Note. The Note is convertible after 180 days into shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of 35% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of Drone USA’s common stock 15 days prior to the date of conversion and the maximum number of shares issued to Power Up may not exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Note is subject to customary default provisions, including a cross default provision. The Company’s CEO entered into a confession of judgment in the principal amount of the Note. The Company has accounted for the convertible promissory note as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and recorded a debt premium of $53,846 with a charge to interest expense.

On November 9, 2017, the Company received a first tranche payment of $75,500 under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 25, 2017, with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”) under which the Company issued to Crown Bridge a convertible note in the principal amount of $105,000 and a five-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 as a commitment fee which is equal to the product of one-third of the face value of each tranche divided by $0.35. The warrants have full ratchet price protection and cashless exercise rights. The convertible note (the “Note”) issued to Crown Bridge is in the principal amount of $105,000, has an original issue discount of $10,500 and issue costs of $19,000 both of which are recorded as debt discount along with the warrant relative fair value to be amortized over the twelve month term of this tranche, bears interest of 10% (12% default rate) per annum, and has a maturity date of 12 months from the date of each tranche of payments under the Note with future tranches being at the discretion of Crown Bridge. The conversion rate for any conversion of unpaid principal and interest under the Notes is at a 35% discount to the lowest market price of the shares of the Company’s common stock within a 20 day trading period prior to the date of conversion to which an additional 10% discount will be added if the conversion price of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.05 per share and no shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued to the extent Crown Bridge would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and the conversion shares contain piggy-back registration rights. The Note is subject to customary default provisions including an event of default if the bid price of the Company’s common stock is less than its par value of $.0001 per share. The Company is entitled to prepay the Note between 30 days after its issuance until 180 days from its issuance at amounts that increase from 112% of the prepayment amount to 137% of the prepayment amount depending on the length of time when prepayments are made. The Company has accounted for the convertible promissory note as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and recorded a debt premium of $56,538 with a charge to interest expense.

  

On November 28, 2017, the Company received a payment of $84,000, net of issue costs of $23,500 to be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the Note term, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 20, 2017, with Labrys Fund, LP (“Labrys”) under which Drone USA issued to Labrys (i) a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $107,500 that bears interest of 10% (24% default rate) per annum and (ii) 335,938 shares of the Company’s common stock as a commitment fee which will be returned to the Company in the event that it pays all unpaid principal and interest under the Note within 180 days of November 20, 2017. Pursuant to ASB 260, as of December 31, 2017, the 335,938 contingent shares issued under the Financial Consulting Agreement are not considered outstanding and are not included in basic net loss per share or as potentially dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS. The Note has a maturity date of nine months and a conversion rate for any unpaid principal and interest at a 35% discount to the market price which is defined as the average of the two lowest trading prices (defined as the lower of the trading price or closing bid price) for the Company’s common stock during the fifteen (15) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of conversion. The conversion rate is further reduced if the Company enters into any section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) transactions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if the terms of those transactions offer greater discounts on conversion prices or a longer look back period for determining the conversion rate and under certain other enumerated events, including if the conversion price is less than $.01 per share or if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink). In addition, if the Company issues any shares of its common stock at less than the conversion price Labrys is entitled to full ratchet anti-dilution in such event. No shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued to the extent Labrys would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock unless Labrys agrees to increase the ownership to 9.99%. The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the conversion price of the Note in effect from time to time). Initially, the Company must instruct its transfer agent to reserve 6,198,049 shares of its common stock. The Note is subject to customary default provisions and also includes a cross-default provision as well as default being triggered if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink) and a $15,000 penalty if not paid by the maturity date. The Company is entitled to prepay the Note between the issue date until 180 days from its issuance but not thereafter.  The Company has accounted for the convertible promissory note as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and recorded a debt premium of $57,885 with a charge to interest expense.

On December 7, 2017, the Company received a payment of $79,000, net of an original issue discount of $5,800 and issue costs of $20,200 fees to be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the Note term, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2017, with EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA Financial”) under which the Company issued to EMA Financial a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $105,000 that bears interest of 10% (24% default rate) per annum. The Note has a maturity date of 12 months, has a conversion rate for any unpaid principal and interest and a conversion price which is the lower of (i) the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of funding and (ii) a 35% discount to (a) the lowest sales price of the shares of the Company’s common stock within a 20 day trading period including and immediately preceding the conversion date or (b) the lowest bid price on the conversion date, whichever is lower, and the conversion shares contain piggy-back registration rights. The conversion rate is further reduced under certain events, including if the closing sales price is less than $0.095 in which case the conversion rate is a 50% discount under the terms set forth above. No shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued to the extent EMA Financial would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also is required at all times to have authorized and reserved eight times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion or adjustment of the Note (based on the conversion price of the Note in effect from time to time) and initially must instruct its transfer agent to reserve 6,802,000 shares of common stock in the name of EMA Financial for issuance upon conversion. The Note is subject to customary default provisions and also includes a cross-default provision as well as default being triggered if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink). The Company is entitled to prepay the Note between the issue date until 180 days from its issuance at a premium of 135% of the unpaid principal and interest if paid within 90 days after the issue date and 150% thereafter. In connection with the issuance of this Note, the Company determined that the terms of the Note contain a conversion formula that caused variations in the conversion price resulting in the treatment of the conversion option as a bifurcated derivative to be accounted for at fair value. Accordingly, under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded conversion option contained in the convertible instruments were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivatives were determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period, the Company revalued the embedded conversion option and warrants derivative liabilities. In connection with this Note, on the initial measurement date of December 7, 2017, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivative of $149,028 was recorded as derivative liabilities, $70,028 was charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense, and $79,000 was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized into interest expense over the term of this Note. At the end of the period, the Company revalued the embedded conversion option derivative liability. In connection with this revaluations, the Company recorded derivative income of $52,015 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using the Binomial valuation model with the following assumptions:

 

Dividend rate   0 
Term (in years)   1.00 year 
Volatility   136.23%
Risk-free interest rate   1.67% to 1.76% 

 

A number of terms included in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Note issued subsequently (see paragraph below) were more favorable than the terms granted to EMA Financial under its Securities Purchase Agreement and the EMA Note. Accordingly, on December 31, 2017, EMA Financial notified the Company that pursuant to the EMA Securities Purchase Agreement that the EMA Note was automatically amended by increasing (i) the annual interest rate to 12% percent and (ii) the Original Issue Discount to $9,450.

 

On December 13, 2017, the Company received a payment of $60,000, net of original issue discount fees of $7,500 and $15,000 of issue costs recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the Note term under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 8, 2017, with Morningview Financial, LLC (“Morningview Financial”) under which the Company issued to Morningview Financial a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $82,500 that bears interest of 12% (18% default rate) per annum. The Note has a maturity date of 12 months and a conversion rate for any unpaid principal and interest and a conversion price which is a 35% discount to the lowest sales price of the shares of the Company’s common stock within a 20-day trading period including and immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion rate is further reduced under certain events, including if the closing sales price is less than $0.05 in which case the conversion rate is a 45% discount under the terms set forth above. No shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued to the extent Morningview Financial would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also is required at all times to have authorized and reserved eight times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion or adjustment of the Note (based on the conversion price of the Note in effect from time to time). The Note is subject to customary default provisions and also includes a cross-default provision as well as default being triggered if the Company’s Trading Price as that term is defined in the Note is less than $.0001 or if a money judgment, writ or similar process shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries for more than $50,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 20 days unless otherwise consented to by the holder of the Note. Additionally, upon default and default notice by the lender, the amount immediately due shall be increased to 150% or 200% of the outstanding principal and interest due depending upon the default provisions, plus default interest. The Company is entitled to prepay the Note between the issue date until 180 days from its issuance at a premium of 135% of the unpaid principal and interest. The Company has accounted for the convertible promissory note as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and recorded a debt premium of $44,423 with a charge to interest expense.

Legal Matters

 

In connection with the merger with Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc., a vendor has a claim for unpaid bills of approximately $75,000 against the Company. The Company and its legal counsel believe the Company is not liable for the claim pursuant to its indemnification clause in the merger agreement.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company received demands for non-payment of five months of rent for its New York location. In July 2017, the Company vacated the New York premises.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company accrued into accounts payable approximately $63,000 pursuant to ASC 420-10-30 “Cost to Terminate an Operating Lease”. In October 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the New York lease landlord and paid $30,000 in full settlement and recorded a settlement gain of $33,361.

 

The Company has filed a lawsuit against the former Chief Strategy Officer and member of the Board, who was terminated for cause on July 7, 2017, for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and violation of the California Business & Professions Code. On July 31, 2017, the former Chief Strategy Officer and member of the Board subsequently filed a counterclaim against the Company seeking, among other items, damages in excess of $900,000, prejudgment interest, and reimbursement of legal fees. The Company believes it will prevail in this matter and therefore has not accrued any additional liabilities. Prior to the termination and as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, there was accrued a 401(k) matching contribution of $9,230 and a $100,000 sign on bonus.

In June 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment bank to provide placement agent services on an exclusive basis as it relates to a private placement (“the placement”). The agreement calls for the investment bank to receive 9% of the gross proceeds of the placement and 2.5% warrant coverage of the amount raised.

On January 9, 2018, the Company received a payment of $84,000, net of $23,500 in fees and expenses to be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the Note term under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 20, 2017, with Labrys under which the Company issued to Labrys (i) a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $107,500 that bears interest of 10% per annum and (ii) 421,238 shares of the Company’s common stock as a commitment fee which will be returned to the Company in the event that it pays all unpaid principal and interest under the Note within 180 days of December 26, 2017. The Note has a maturity date of nine months or September 26, 2018, and a conversion rate for any unpaid principal and interest at a 35% discount to the market price which is defined as the average of the two lowest trading prices (defined as the lower of the trading price or closing bid price) for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of conversion. The conversion rate is further reduced if the Company enters into any section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) transactions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if the terms of those transactions offer greater discounts on conversion prices or a longer look back period for determining the conversion rate and under certain other enumerated events, including if the conversion price is less than $.01 per share or if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink). In addition, if the Company issues any shares of its common stock at less than the conversion price, Labrys is entitled to full ratchet anti-dilution in such event. No shares of Drone USA common stock can be issued to the extent Labrys would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock unless Labrys agrees to increase the ownership to 9.99%. The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the conversion price of the Note in effect from time to time). Initially, the Company must instruct its transfer agent to reserve 8,535,980 shares of its common stock. The Note is subject to customary default provisions and also includes a cross-default provision as well as default being triggered if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink). The Company is entitled to prepay the Note between the issue date until 180 days from its issuance but not thereafter. The Company has accounted for the convertible promissory note as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and recorded a debt premium of $57,885 with a charge to interest expense. On February 7, 2018 the lender notified the Company of a non-financial default related to the maintenance of the Company’s market capitalization level. The lender has proposed a waiver of the default in exchange for keeping the 421,238 shares as non-returnable.

 

On January 31, 2018 the Company received a payment of $95,000, net of $2,750 for legal fees and $7,250 for due diligence to be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the Note term under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2018, with Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”) under which the Company issued to Auctus a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $105,000 that bears interest of 10% per annum.

The conversion rate is further reduced if the Company enters into any section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) transactions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if the terms of those transactions offer greater discounts on conversion prices or a longer look back period for determining the conversion rate and under certain other enumerated events, including if the conversion shares cannot be delivered by DWAC. In addition, if the Company issues any shares of its common stock at less than the conversion price, Auctus is entitled to full ratchet anti-dilution in such event. No shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued to the extent Auctus would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock unless Auctus agrees to increase the ownership to 9.99%. The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved ten times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the conversion price of the Note in effect from time to time). The Note is subject to customary default provisions and also includes a cross-default provision as well as default being triggered if the Company loses the “bid” price for its common stock ($0.0001 on the “ask” with zero market makers on the “bid” per Level 2 and/or a market such as OTC Pink).

Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility Note

 

On January 3, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) and replacement note agreements with an investment fund related to a senior secured credit facility note dated September 13, 2016 (See Note 7). This settlement did not waive the prior defaults. On the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, all debt owed to the investment fund aggregated $5,788,642 and consisted of a convertible promissory note of $3,500,000, accrued interest payable of $238,642, and accrued advisory fees payable of $2,050,000. Additionally, on the effective date, the amount due of $5,788,642 was split and apportioned into 2 separate and distinct replacement notes (“Replacement Note A” and “Replacement Note B”). Replacement Note A shall have a principal amount of $1,000,000 and Replacement Note B shall have a principal balance of $4,788,642, both of which shall be and remained secured by the original security agreements, the pledge agreements, the guarantee agreement and other applicable loan documents.

 

The Credit Agreement is hereby amended such that the Maturity Date shall be extended to January 13, 20l9 (the “Extended Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all Obligations owing by the Borrower and all other Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement, First Replacement Note B, and all other Loan Documents shall be paid in full by the Extended Maturity Date as follows: $52,500 per month from January 13, 2018 to December 13, 2018 and $5,394,121 on January 13, 2019.

Upon liquidation by the Holder of Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant conversion notice (such net realized amount, the “Realized Amount”), the Company shall issue to the Holder additional shares of the Company’s common stock equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant conversion notice; minus (ii) the Realized Amount, as evidenced by a reconciliation statement from the Holder (a “Sale Reconciliation”) showing the Realized Amount from the sale of the Conversion Shares; divided by (iii) the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five business days immediately prior to the date upon which the Holder delivers notice (the “Make-Whole Notice”) to the Company that such additional shares are requested by the Holder (the “Make-Whole Stock Price”) (such number of additional shares to be issued, the “Make-Whole Shares”).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2017.

 

We caution that these factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

Drone USA, Inc. is a UAV and related services and technology company that intends to engage in the research, design, development, testing, manufacturing, distribution, exportation, and integration of advanced low altitude UAV systems, services and products. Drone also provides product procurement, distribution, and logistics services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HowCo Distributing Co., to the United States Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency. The Company has operations based in West Haven, Connecticut and Vancouver, Washington. The Company continues to seek strategic acquisitions and partnerships with UAV firms that offer superior technologies in high-growth markets, as well as acquisitions and partnerships with firms that have complementary technologies and infrastructure.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had $2,309,255 in current assets, including $181,381 in cash, compared to $2,059,246 in current assets, including $152,492 in cash, at September 30, 2017. Current liabilities at December 31, 2017 totaled $13,698,576 compared to $12,419,948 at September 30, 2017. The increase in current assets from September 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017 is primarily due to an increase in cash of approximately $29,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $207,000. The increase in current liabilities from September 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017 is primarily due to the increase in convertible notes payable of approximately $799,000 primarily due to the borrowing of funds under convertible note agreements, amortization of debt discount and accretion of a premium, an increase in notes payable of $239,246, and an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $222,000. While we have revenues as of this date, no significant UAV revenues are anticipated until we have implemented our full plan of operations, specifically, initiating sales campaigns for our UAV platforms. We must raise cash to implement our strategy to grow and expand per our business plan. We anticipate over the next 12 months the cost of being a reporting public company will be approximately $250,000.

 

If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our equity or debt securities, or secure more loans, we would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment. Under the terms of our credit agreement with TCA, all potential new investments must first be reviewed and approved by TCA, which may constrain our options for new fundraising.

 

 19 

 

 

We anticipate our short-term liquidity needs to be approximately $5.8 million which will be used to settle our existing current liabilities and we expect gross profits of approximately $2,000,000. To meet these needs we intend to complete equity financing and refinance or restructure certain existing liabilities. Once this is completed, and we implement our sales and marketing plan to sell UAV products, we anticipate minimal long-term liquidity needs which we expect to meet through equity financing or short-term borrowings.  

  

Additionally, we will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement the business plan and may impede the speed of its operations.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities:

Results of Operations

 

Three months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

We generated sales of $4,433,060 and $6,984,392 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of $2,551,332, or 36.5%. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we reported cost of goods sold of $4,141,893 and $6,532,810, respectively, a decrease of $2,390,917, or 36.6%. The decrease in sales and cost of goods sold for the 2017 period as compared to the 2016 period is due to a delay in shipments caused by a delay in shipments as we attempt to renegotiate our selling prices. Additionally, we stopped selling certain products with low gross margins.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we reported selling, general, and administrative expenses of $820,762 as compared to $967,476, a decrease of $146,714, or 15.2%. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, selling, general, and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the Three
Months ended
   For the Three
Months ended
 
   December 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
Compensation and related benefits  $480,617   $528,903 
Professional fees   223,233    248,702 
Other selling, general and administrative expenses   116,912    189,871 
Total selling, general and administrative expenses  $820,762   $967,476 

 

The decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs for the 2017 period as compared to the 2016 period was due to a reduction in employees, a reduction in professional fees and a decrease in other selling, general and administrative due to cost cutting measures.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, amortization expense amounted to $66,250 and $66,250, respectively, and related to the amortization of intangible assets.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, other income (expense) amounted to $704,728 and $369,590, respectively, an increase of $335,138, or 94.8%. The increase was attributable to an increase in interest and financing costs of $350,486, or 94.8%, primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing debt financings, and the amortization of related discounts and accretion of premiums, an increase in derivative expense of $18,013, offset by an increase in gain on settlement of $33,361.

 

As a result, we reported a net loss of $1,300,573, or $0.03 per common share, and $951,784, or $0.02 per common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $1,300,573 and used cash in operations of $489,002. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit was $11,389,301, $7,504,934, and $15,156,998, respectively, at December 31, 2017. Furthermore, on April 13, 2017, we received a default notice on its payment obligations under the senior secured credit facility agreement, defaulted on its Note Payable – Seller in September 2017, and as of December 31, 2017 is subject to two lawsuits and has received demands for payment of past due amounts from several consultants and service providers. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional capital as needed from the sales of stock or debt. We have been implementing cost-cutting measures and restructuring or setting up payment plans with vendors and service providers and plan to raise equity through a private placement, and restructure or repay our secured obligations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. These estimates are based on Management’s historical industry experience and not the company’s historical experience.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts, as needed. Factors used to establish an allowance include the credit quality of the customer and whether the balance is significant. The Company may also use the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts that are not received. Using the direct write-off method, trade receivable balances are written off to bad debt expense when an account balance is deemed to be uncollectible.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods, which are purchased directly from manufacturers. The Company utilizes a just in time type of inventory system where products are ordered from the vender only when the Company has received sales order from its customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s goodwill and tradename assets are deemed to have indefinite lives and, accordingly, are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, but more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances occur which may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The customer list was deemed to have a life of four years and will be amortized through September 2020.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. In instances where impairment is determined to exist, the Company writes down the asset to its fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized upon shipment of product to the customer. Provisions for returns and allowances are recorded in the period the sales occur. Payments received from customers prior to shipment of the product to them, are recorded as customer deposit liabilities.  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of restricted stock and stock options, is recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values measured at the grant date, or the date of any later modification, over the requisite service period. The cost of all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of restricted stock and stock options, is recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values at each reporting date until measurement date occurs, over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes compensation cost for unvested stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period.

 

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

 

We may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. We record the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

  

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution. Pursuant to ASB 260, contingent shares issued under a Securities purchase agreement are not considered outstanding and are not included in basic net loss per shares or as potentially dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS.

 

Tax Loss Carryforwards

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no 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, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems, (3) lack of inventory controls, and (4) since the resignation of our former CFO in July 2017, we do not have a qualified in-house financial accounting expert to maintain our parent company and consolidation level books and records. To remediate this situation we have engaged outsourced accountants. It is likely that we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 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 

 

In connection with the merger with Texas Wyoming Drilling, Inc., a vendor has a claim for unpaid bills of approximately $75,000 against the company. The Company and its legal counsel believe the Company is not liable for the claim pursuant to its indemnification clause in the merger agreement.

 

In response to the Complaint we filed July 12, 2017 against Paulo Ferro in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:17-cv-05124) seeking damages and injunctive relief for alleged violations of the Federal Trade Secrets Act and the California Trade Secrets Act, breach of his employment agreement, breach of his duty of good faith and fair dealing and violation of the California Business and Professional Code, Mr. Ferro filed an answer and counterclaim on July 31, 2017 seeking damages in the amount of $900,000 based on allegations of breach of his employment agreement by Drone USA as well as additional amounts based on alleged libel and a demand for punitive damages. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims and oppose the counterclaims by Mr. Ferro.

 

A lawsuit has been filed against the Company in Supreme Court, Westchester County (Index No. 61772/2017), on August 9, 2017, in a case styled Porter, LeVay & Rose v. Drone USA, Inc . The complaint alleged two causes of action, one for goods and services furnished and one for an account stated, in the amount of $74,325. The plaintiff obtained a default judgment. The Company filed an Order to Show Cause to vacate the default judgment on the grounds that the service of the complaint was invalid. The court granted the Company’s Order to Show Cause on December 19, 2017 and a hearing occurred on January 12, 2018, and a decision will be forthcoming. The Company also intends to contest any claim of damages by the plaintiff on the grounds that it failed to perform its obligations under the agreement between the two companies.

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

 

On September 1, 2017, we entered into a consulting agreement with an individual.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, an aggregate of 20,000 common shares were issuable pursuant to the agreement. This agreement was terminated in December 2017.

 

On November 28, 2017, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note Agreement with Labrys (see Note 7), we issued to Labrys 335,938 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee which will be returned to the Company in the event that we pay all unpaid principal and interest under the Note within 180 days of November 20, 2017. Such contingent shares issued under a Securities purchase agreement are not considered outstanding and are not included in basic net income per ordinary shares or as potentially dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS.

 

The above securities were issued in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(a) (2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
