Business Overview
Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (“Drone Aviation,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on April 17, 2014 as a wholly owned subsidiary of MacroSolve, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“MacroSolve”). As discussed in detail below under “Recent Developments”, effective April 30, 2014, MacroSolve merged with and into Drone Aviation, with Drone Aviation as the surviving entity, for purposes of moving the Company’s state of incorporation from Oklahoma to Nevada (the “Redomestication”). Any references to “Drone Aviation,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company” or any similar references relating to periods before the Redomestication shall be construed as references to MacroSolve, being the previous parent company of Drone Aviation.
We are focused on intellectual property licensing, enforcement of our patent in the mobile app space and other patent services. Due to the small number of employees, we no longer maintain a physical workspace, but allow our employees to work remotely. Our mailing address is 9521-B Riverside Parkway, #134, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74137.
Starting in March 2011, we began protecting our intellectual property rights against entities we identified as infringing our patent claims. This process was halted in March 2014 as a result of the USPTO Office Action, discussed below under “Recent Developments”. In October 2010, we received U.S. patent #7,822,816, which we refer to as the ‘816 patent, which covers certain mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer. Complaints were filed against 101 defendants. Out of these lawsuits, we received 68 settlements in the form of non-exclusive, perpetual paid-up licenses for licensed products or royalties based on a percentage of revenue. Our objective in these enforcement actions was not to monopolize or prevent other companies from competing; it was to get a return on our investment in the intellectual property.
Recent Transactions
USPTO Office Action
On March 7, 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) sent the Company an office action related to an ex parte reexamination of the ‘816 patent, which rejected all the claims in the patent (the “USPTO Office Action”). The Company has two months to file a request for the patent examiners to reconsider the USPTO Office Action. In the event the examiners do not rescind the USPTO Office Action, the Company would have the option to file an appeal with the Patent Appeals Board. That process can be costly and take an indeterminate amount of time. As a result of the USPTO Office Action, the Company has withdrawn all outstanding litigation relating to the ‘816 patent without prejudice, which will allow it to refile such pending suits if the USPTO Office Action is rescinded or the Company’s rights under the ‘816 patent are restored. The Company will be unable to pursue any new lawsuits relating to the ‘816 patent until the USPTO Office Action is resolved. The inability to pursue claims pursuant to its ‘816 patent until the USPTO Office Action is resolved will negatively impact the Company’s primary source of revenue. Since the sale of Illume Mobile in July 2012, revenue from IP licensing has accounted for over 97% of the Company’s revenue. The Company is presently conferring with its legal counsel and evaluating its options with regard to the recent USPTO Office Action.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On April 14, 2014, shareholders representing a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote thereon approved a plan of merger pursuant to which the Company would merge with a newly created wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary for the purpose of the Redomestication. Pursuant to the Redomestication, the shareholders approved a share consolidation, whereby holders of the Company’s common stock would receive one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Nevada subsidiary for every 50.56186 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, other than shares of Common Stock that are owned by stockholders exercising appraisal rights.
Debt Exchange for Preferred Stock
On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements with certain holders of convertible debentures and promissory notes in the principal face amount of $683,680 and accrued interest of $97,306 previously issued by the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Holders exchanged the Notes and relinquished any and all other rights they may have pursuant to the Notes in exchange for 595,000 shares of newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, 324,671 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and 156,231 shares of newly designated Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Such exchanges were conducted pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-1 Preferred
Pursuant to Certificate of Designations, the Company designated 595,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series C Preferred, 324,671 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series D Preferred, and 156,231 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series D-1 Preferred. Each share of preferred stock has a stated value of $0.01977775 per share. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series C, D and D-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to a payment as set forth in the applicable Certificate of Designation. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to such number of shares of Series C Preferred being converted multiplied by 100 and divided by the stated value. The Series D Preferred is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to such number of shares of Series D Preferred being converted divided by the stated value. The Series D-1 Preferred is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to such number of shares of Series D-1 Preferred being converted divided by the stated value. Each share of Series C, D and D-1 Preferred entitles the holder to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common Stock as a single class. With respect to any such vote, each share of preferred entitles the holder to cast such number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such share of preferred is convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the conversion limitations set forth in the applicable Certificate of Designation. The Series C, D and D-1 Preferred will be entitled to dividends to the extent declared by the Company.
Change in Management
On April 17, 2014, Mr. James C. McGill resigned as Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company as well as his position serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. Also on April 17, 2014, Messrs. David Humphrey and John Clerico resigned their positions serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. Effective April 17, 2014, the Company appointed Michael Haas to serve as the Company’s interim President and to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Haas $2,500 a month for his services.
Cancellation of Options and Warrants
On April 17, 2014, management, directors and debenture holders agreed to the cancellation of 29,537,115 warrants with strike prices between $.2618 and $.063 and 9,759,255 options with exercise prices between $2.50 and $.033.
The Redomestication
Effective April 30, 2014, Macrosolve entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Drone Aviation, pursuant to which Macrosolve merged with and into Drone Aviation for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in the State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Redomestication, every 50.56186 shares of common stock of Macrosolve, other than shares that are owned by stockholders exercising appraisal rights, were converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Drone Aviation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares prior to such conversion (such exchange ratio, the “Merger Exchange Ratio”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Macrosolve, other than shares that are owned by stockholders exercising appraisal rights, were converted into one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, (ii) each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Macrosolve, other than shares that are owned by stockholders exercising appraisal rights, were converted into one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, and (iii) each share of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of Macrosolve, other than shares that are owned by stockholders exercising appraisal rights, were converted into one share of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company
11
Prior to the Redomestication, Macrosolve had 198,219,104 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Subsequent to the Redomestication, as a result of the Merger Exchange Ratio described above, the Company has approximately 3,920,329 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. All share-related and per share information in this quarterly report, except for the financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted to give effect to Merger Exchange Ratio.
Preferred Stock Financing
On April 29, 2014, prior to the Redomestication, Macrosolve sold an aggregate of $120,000 of its preferred stock to an accredited investor. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, upon consummation of the Redomestication, the Company would designate 355,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 1, 2014, subsequent to consummation of the Redomestication, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and issued the shares to the investor.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and has a stated value of $0.0001. Such conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder will beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, if such limitation is waived by the holder upon no less than 61 days prior notice, 9.99%) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 2014 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2013 (all references are to the Quarter Ended March 31)
Total Net Revenues: Total net revenues decreased $531,000, or 80%, to $135,000 in the first quarter of 2014 from $666,000 for the same period in 2013. Sources of revenue were derived from our IP licensing and services. IP licensing was severely impacted by the USPTO Office Action described above.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: Cost of revenues, which consisted of legal fees and costs associated with IP licensing, for the first quarter of 2014 decreased $179,000, or 64%, from $279,000 in the first quarter of 2013 to $100,000 in the first quarter of 2014 in relation to the reduced IP licensing revenues. The resulting gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 of $35,000 was a decrease of $352,000, or 91%, from the gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 of $387,000.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $63,000, or 34%, in the first quarter of 2014 to $245,000 from $182,000 in the same period of 2013. The Company incurred $53,000 in legal expenses in the first quarter of 2014, a $39,000 increase over legal expenses of $14,000 in the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to $38,500 in additional legal expenses for services associated with the recapitalization of the Company. The Company incurred $41,000 in accounting expenses in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $22,000 over accounting expenses of $19,000 during the same period of 2013, primarily due to audit expenses related to 2013 and the reaudit of 2012.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $209,000 was an increase of $414,000 over the income from operations in the same period of 2013 of $205,000, which resulted primarily due to the decrease in gross profit of $352,000 and an increase in G&A expenses of $63,000.
Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $16,000 in the first quarter of 2014 were essentially flat with a difference of $1,000 or 8% less than the total of $17,000 in the first quarter of 2013.
Net Loss: Net loss of ($225,000) as of March 31, 2014 increased $413,000, or 220%, from the net income for the same quarter in 2013 of $188,000, primarily as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had total current assets of $610,923 and total current liabilities of $290,408 for working capital of $320,515. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $572,041 and an accumulated deficit of $21,398,779 since operations commenced in 1997.
Although there was a net loss in 2013, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's audit report for the year ended December 31, 2013 did not contain a qualified opinion or an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed above, the Company experienced a $(225,000) net loss in the first quarter of 2014 with future results likely to be impacted by the actions of the USPTO and the suspension of the Company’s patent enforcement activity. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company continues as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis will be dependent upon its ability to resolve issues with the USPTO, including the rejection of claims 1-14 in the ‘816 patent and prosecution of continuation patents, to create and market innovative services and to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations.
We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues, proceeds from bank loans, shareholder loans and sales of equity and debt securities to accredited investors. Since the divestiture of Illume Mobile and its deficit operation in July 2012, the Company had generated sufficient working capital through operations to support its requirements without additional debt or equity financing. However, the USPTO Office Action prevents us from continuing to generate licensing revenue from patent settlements. While we currently believe we have sufficient capital to continue our operations for the next 12 months, we may incur significant expenses in appealing the USPTO Office Action. We could deplete our cash and working capital more rapidly than expected, which could result in our need to curtail our operations.
As a result of the USPTO Office Action, we began to explore strategic alternatives and ways to improve the Company’s balance sheet. We entered into a series of transactions whereby we exchanged outstanding convertible debentures and promissory notes in the principal face amount of $683,680 and accrued interest of $97,306 for shares of preferred stock. We completed the Redomestication to a Nevada corporation pursuant to which we did a reverse stock split pursuant to the Merger Exchange Ratio.
2011 Debenture Financing
Between April and June 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class A Debentures”) with Class A Warrants for gross proceeds of $950,000 and the conversion of $725,000 of 2010 Debentures into 2011 Debentures. Between September and October 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class B Debentures” and together with the 2011 Class A Debentures, the “2011 Debentures”) with Class B Warrants for gross proceeds of $700,000 and the conversion of $25,000 in accrued compensation.
The 2011 Debentures, which mature on December 31, 2016, earn interest at an annual rate of 12%, which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account which has been established with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of the net funds the Company receives from licensing its intellectual property (the “Debenture Account”). Principal on the 2011 Debentures will be paid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. As of March 31, 2014, the Debenture Account had a balance of $195,000.
The 2011 Class A Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class A Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class A Debenture investment. Any 2011 Class A Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. As of March 31, 2014, there was $100,000 principal amount of 2011 Class A Debentures outstanding that were convertible into approximately 1,587,302 shares of common stock. As discussed above in Recent Developments, on April 17, 2014, the debenture and its accrued interest was sold to investors who exchanged the debt for preferred stock.
The 2011 Class A Debenture investors also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class A Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2014, there were Class A Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 18,475,827 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging between $0.063 and $0.109. On April 17, 2014, the warrant associated with the $100,000 debenture to purchase 1,587,302 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.063 was cancelled.
13
The 2011 Class B Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class B Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class B Debenture investment, however the conversion price shall not be less than ten cents per share at any time and the conversion price shall not be more than ten cents per share for investments made prior to October 1, 2011. Any 2011 Class B Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. As of March 31, 2014, there were $50,000 principal amount of 2011 Class B Debentures outstanding that were convertible into approximately 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As discussed above in Recent Developments, on April 17, 2014, the debenture and its accrued interest was sold to investors who exchanged the debt for preferred stock.
The investors in 2011 Class B Debentures also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class B Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016. As of March 24, 2014, there were Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 8,961,614 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.10. On April 17, 2014, the warrant associated with the $50,000 debenture to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 was cancelled.
Other
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had recorded $169,306 in notes payable to directors. During 2012, multiple directors advanced $778,300 on short-term notes bearing 12% interest rates. Four directors agreed to exchange $320,000 of their short-term notes for 2012 Convertible Debentures Series C. During the same year, $115,000 in notes was repaid in cash and $21,075 in accrued interest was reclassified as note payable. The total amount due to multiple directors of $533,681, including accrued interest, was rolled over into new notes dated September 30, 2012. The new notes are secured by the unencumbered 75% of patent settlement license fees and provide for accrued interest at 6% payable on maturity at January 1, 2015. The accrued interest at March 31, 2014 is $47,987. As discussed above in Recent Developments, on April 17, 2014, the debenture and its accrued interest was sold to investors who exchanged the debt for preferred stock. On April 17, 2014, these directors agreed to the cancellation of 26,296,410 warrants with strike prices between $.098 and $.2618 and 5,843.792 options with exercise prices between $2.50 and $.033.
To lower its required cash expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 7,454,546 shares of common stock to directors, management and attorneys for compensation for services.

Operating Activities:
Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $112,000, which was a decrease in operating cash flow of approximately $185,000 from $73,000 net cash inflow from operating activities during the same quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2014 net loss of approximately $225,000 was $413,000 less than the first quarter 2013 net income, which was approximately $188,000.
Investing Activities:
The Company did not expend any cash related to investing activity during the first quarter of 2014. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily related to patent application fees.
Financing Activities:
The Company repaid its Oklahoma Technology Commercialization Center note payable by $22,500 in in both the first quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2013.
14
Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations. Although the Company has been experiencing positive cash flow from operations since divesting of Illume Mobile in July 2012, significant negative cash flow from operations are likely to occur in the future, as the USPTO office action rejecting our patent claims will have a material effect on our cash flow until the issue is resolved. We are exploring various strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. These alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships or alliances, a merger or acquisition, a sale of the Company or other possible transactions.
As of March 31, 2014, our common stock is the only class of stock outstanding and we have $766,181 in debt that consists of $150,000 convertible secured debentures offset by $50,000 in debt discount, $533,681 in shareholder notes payable, $22,500 in note payable – related party and a $110,000 note from the Oklahoma Technology Commercialization Center, all of which is classified as current maturities of long-term debt. As discussed above in Recent Developments, subsequent to March 31, 2014, we issued various series of preferred stock and exchanged approximately $683,680 of outstanding debt for shares of preferred stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:
Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the consulting services. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. In many instances, the Company is extending trade terms to customers who have agreed to acquire IP licenses as a result of settlement agreements. In April 2014, the Company transferred $18,542 in receivables to its former employee, Clint Parr, as compensation due him in accordance with his incentive plan. Mr. Parr’s employment terminated in April 2014.
Revenue Recognition and Unearned Income:
Revenues from intellectual property licenses are recognized upon receipt. When intellectual property licenses are received under a contingent fee agreement with the law firm of Antonelli, Harrington & Thompson LLP, the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale.
Consulting services revenues consist primarily of advisory services to third party customers under contract for specific projects. Contracted projects that are fixed price are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from contracted projects that are for provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided.
Long-Lived Assets:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the periods ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
15
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Compensation Costs”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:
a)
|
Financial Reporting Systems: We did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes; and
|
|
b)
|
Segregation of Duties: We do not currently have a sufficient complement of technical accounting and external reporting personnel commensurate to support standalone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements. Specifically, the Company did not effective segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff, and maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting and the closing process. In addition, there were inadequate reviews and approvals by the Company’s personnel of certain reconciliations and other processes in day-to-day operations due to the lack of a full complement of accounting staff.
|
As our current financial condition allows, we will analyze and develop processes for the establishment of formal policies and procedures with necessary segregation of duties, which will establish mitigating controls to compensate for the risk due to lack of segregation of duties.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
