On August 27, 2014, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock with monthly vesting provisions to two members of its Strategic Advisory Board for twelve months services.

All of the preferred stock of the Company is convertible into common shares. The Series A and Series C stock conversion ratio is 100 to 1 shares. The Series B, B-1, D, E and F stock conversion ratio is 1 to 1 shares. The conversion price of Series B stock may be adjusted if a ‘dilutive triggering event’ occurs which could happen if the Company were to sell or issue common stock, warrants or convertible securities without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such sale or issue (dilutive triggering price). In such case, the Series B conversion price would be reduced to a price equal to the dilutive triggering price. All preferred stock has voting rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis subject to any ownership limitations governing such preferred shares. All preferred stock is entitled to dividends rights equal to the number of shares it would have on an ‘as if converted’ basis. None of the preferred stock is redeemable, participating nor callable.

The Company analyzed the conversion option for beneficial conversion features consideration under ASC 470-20 “Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features” and noted Series F stock contained a beneficial conversion feature. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $192,558.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and developments beyond our control or foresight including changes in the trends of the advanced aerostats and tethered drone industry formation of competitors, changes in governmental regulation or taxation, changes in our personnel and other such factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Readers should carefully review the risk factors and related notes included under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.
The following MD&A is intended to help readers understand the results of our operation and financial condition, and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Interim Unaudited Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Interim Unaudited Financial Statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Growth and percentage comparisons made herein generally refer to the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2014 unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and similar expressions to Drone Aviation Holding Corp. and depending on the context, its subsidiaries.
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”). 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 the business of the design, development, marketing and sale of lighter-than air (“LTA”) advanced aersostats and land-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) solutions and tethered drones. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (“LTAS”), which was acquired on June 3, 2014 upon consummation of a Share Exchange with Drone Aviation Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary which was merged into Drone Aviation on March 26, 2015, is focused on the development of a series of tethered aerostats known as the Blimp in a Box® (“BiB”) system and the Winch Aerostat Small Platform (“WASP”) as well as certain other tethered drone products. The BiB system is a lighter-than-air, compact aerostat platform either self-contained on a trailer that can be towed by an MATV or MRAP or other standard vehicle, or it can operate from the bed of a pickup truck. It is designed to provide semi-persistent, mobile, real-time day/night high definition footage for “ISR”, detection of improvised explosive devices (“IEDs”), border security and other governmental and civilian uses. The WASP is a mobile, tactical-sized aerostat capable of carrying a variety of payloads in support of military operations. Both the BiB and the WASP can also be utilized for disaster response missions, by supporting two-way and cellular communications, by acting as a repeater or providing wireless networking.

General and administrative expenses increased $851,000 or 946%, to $941,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 from $90,000 for the same period in 2014. The merger and acquisition activities brought a new management team, board of directors and strategic advisors to the Company for the purpose of increasing business opportunities and shareholder value. Approximately $179,000 of the increase in operating expenses is related to salaries and benefits, $47,000 of the increase is related to investor relations, $319,000 of the increase is related to director and strategic advisory board compensation of which $308,500 was non-cash stock compensation, $189,000 of the increase is related to research and development, $67,000 of the increase is related to legal, audit and accounting fees for SEC filings, and $12,000 of the increase is related to amortization of intangibles.
Income (Loss) from Operations: Loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 increased $934,000 or 100%, to $934,000 from income from operations of $412 in 2014, primarily due to factors discussed above.
Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $133 decreased $368 in the first quarter of 2015 from $501 in 2014. This decrease is primarily due to less interest charged on credit cards.
Net Loss: Net loss increased $934,000 or 100% to $934,000 for the first quarter of 2015 from net loss of $89 in 2014. This increased loss is due to factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had total current assets of $917,000 and total current liabilities of $239,000 for working capital of $678,000. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $794,000 and an accumulated deficit of $(3,098,000).
We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues and sales of equity securities to accredited investors. While we currently believe we have sufficient capital and access to capital to continue our operations for the next 12 months, we may incur significant expenses in implementing our growth plan. We could deplete our cash and working capital more rapidly than expected, which could result in our need to curtail our operations.

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 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-k for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015. 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 sale of tethered aerostats, accessories, spare parts and delivery and installation of aerostats. 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model, in accordance with ASC 815-15 “Derivative and Hedging” to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Revenue Recognition and Unearned Income:
Revenues from the sale of products and services are recognized upon delivery.
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.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective 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.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
