SAKER AVIATION SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included to make the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2015 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 not misleading. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any full year or any other interim period.

 

The Company has evaluated events which have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2015, and through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC, and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred after the current reporting period.

 

NOTE 2 – Liquidity

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash of $460,245 and had a working capital surplus of $762,523. The Company generated revenue of $2,710,142 and net losses of $136,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

On May 17, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with PNC Bank (the “PNC Loan Agreement”). The PNC Loan Agreement contained three components: (i) a $2,500,000 non-revolving acquisition line of credit (the “PNC Acquisition Line”); (ii) a $1,150,000 working capital line (the “PNC Working Capital Line”); and (iii) a $280,920 term loan (the “PNC Term Loan”). Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under the PNC Loan Agreement.

 

Proceeds of the PNC Acquisition Line were able to be dispersed, based on parameters defined in the PNC Loan Agreement, until May 17, 2014 (the “Conversion Date”). As of the Conversion Date, there was $1,350,000 outstanding under the PNC Acquisition Line. The payment terms provide that 30 days following the Conversion Date, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, the Company is required to make equal payments of principal over a 60 month period. Interest on the outstanding principal continues to accrue at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points (2.93% as of March 31, 2015). As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the PNC Acquisition Line was $1,125,000.

 

The PNC Working Capital Line may be dispersed for working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on outstanding principal accrues at a rate equal to daily LIBOR plus 250 basis points (2.68 % as of March 31, 2015) and the PNC Working Capital Line is annually renewable at PNC Bank’s option. As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the PNC Working Capital Line was $550,000.

 

The PNC Term Loan was dispersed to settle miscellaneous Company debt of the same amount. Interest on outstanding principal accrues at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points (2.93% as of March 31, 2015) with principal and interest payments shall be made over a 34 month period. At March 31, 2015, $104,342 was outstanding.

 

The Company is party to a concession agreement, dated as of November 1, 2008, with the City of New York for the operation of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (the “Concession Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement, the Company must pay the greater of 18% of the first $5,000,000 in program year gross receipts and 25% of gross receipts in excess of $5 million or minimum annual guaranteed payments. The Company paid the City of New York $1,200,000 in the first year of the term and minimum payments are scheduled to increase to approximately $1,700,000 in the final year of Concession Agreement, which expires on October 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred approximately $403,000 and $334,000 in concession fees, respectively, which is recorded in the cost of revenue.

NOTE 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC (“FFH”), our FBO at Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport (“FBOGC”) and Phoenix Rising Aviation, Inc. (“PRA”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Net Income Per Common Share

Net (loss)/income was $(136,592) and $11,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Basic net income per share applicable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation of the diluted income per share when their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. 

 

The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic net income per share:

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2015   2014(1) 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic   33,107,610    33,104,277 
Common shares upon exercise of options   711,187    430,381 
Common shares upon exercise of warrants   39,721    1,369,723 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted   33,858,518    34,904,380 

 

(1) Potential common shares of 750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings as their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards are based on the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred stock-based compensation costs of $8,500 and $7,689 respectively. Such amounts have been recorded as part of the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2015, the unamortized fair value of the options totaled $12,750.

 

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option. In management's opinion, the use of such option valuation models does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Management holds this view partly because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and also because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360) – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (ASU 2014-08) which requires entities to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations so as not to be overly complex or difficult to apply to stakeholders. Only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2015. Based on the Company’s evaluation of ASU 2014-08, the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2015 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read together with the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes in this report. This Item 2 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed throughout this report and include, but are not limited to, those set forth at the end of this Item 2 under the heading "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements." Additional factors are under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” are used below to refer collectively to the Company and the subsidiaries through which our various businesses are actually conducted.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a Nevada corporation. Our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “common stock”), is publicly traded on the OTCQB Marketplace (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “SKAS”.  Through our subsidiaries, we operate in the aviation services segment of the general aviation industry, in which we serve as the operator of a heliport, a fixed base operation (“FBO”), as a provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services, and as a consultant for a seaplane base that we do not own.  FBOs provide ground-based services, such as fueling and aircraft storage for general aviation, commercial and military aircraft, and other miscellaneous services.  

 

We were formed on January 17, 2003 as a proprietorship and were incorporated in Arizona on January 2, 2004.  We became a public company as a result of a reverse merger transaction on August 20, 2004 with Shadows Bend Development, Inc., an inactive public Nevada corporation, and subsequently changed our name to FBO Air, Inc.  On December 12, 2006, we changed our name to FirstFlight, Inc.  On September 2, 2009, we changed our name to Saker Aviation Services, Inc.

 

Our business activities are carried out as the operator of the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport, as an FBO at the Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport, as an MRO at the Bartlesville (Oklahoma) Municipal Airport, and as a consultant to the operator of a seaplane base in New York City.

 

The Garden City facility became part of our company as a result of our acquisition of the FBO assets of Central Plains Aviation, Inc. (“CPA”) in March 2005.

 

Our business activities at the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport facility (the “Heliport”) commenced as a result of the Company’s award of the Concession Agreement by the City of New York to operate the Heliport, which we assigned to our subsidiary, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC d/b/a Saker Aviation Services (“FFH”). See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. of this report.  

 

The Bartlesville facility became part of our company as a result of our acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Phoenix Rising Aviation, Inc. (“PRA”) on August 15, 2013.

 

The FBO segment of the general aviation industry is highly fragmented.  According to the National Air Transportation Association (“NATA”), there are over 3,000 FBOs that serve customers at one or more of over 3,000 airport facilities across the country that have at least one paved 3,000-foot runway. The vast majority of these entities are single location operators. NATA characterizes companies with operations at three or more airports as “chains.” An operation with FBOs in at least two distinctive regions of the country is considered a “national” chain while an operation with FBOs in multiple locations within a single region is considered a “regional” chain.

REVENUE AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.

 

REVENUE

 

Revenue decreased by 11.0 percent to $2,710,142 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with corresponding prior-year period revenue of $3,045,439.  

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenue associated with the sale of jet fuel, aviation gasoline and related items decreased by 21.3 percent to approximately $1,015,000 as compared to approximately $1,300,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease was largely attributable to a lower volume of gallons, particularly gallons associated with our general aviation fueling operations.  The general aviation category experienced a significantly higher demand in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which demand did not recur during the same period in 2015.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenue associated with services and supply items decreased by 5.0 percent to approximately $1,650,000 as compared to approximately $1,700,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was largely attributable to higher levels of activity and related revenue in our Heliport operations offset by a decline in demand for maintenance services at our Oklahoma MRO, as compared to the same period last year.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, all other revenue increased by 89.7 percent to approximately $53,000 as compared to approximately $28,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was largely attributable to miscellaneous revenue recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2015 that did not occur in the same period last year.

 

GROSS PROFIT

 

Total gross profit decreased 3.0 percent to $1,216,418 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Gross margin increased to 44.9 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 41.2% percent in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit related to a decline in demand for maintenance services at our Oklahoma MRO as compared to the same period last year.

The increased operating expenses were largely attributable to additional costs related to the higher levels of activity in our Heliport operations.

OPERATING INCOME

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360) – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (ASU 2014-08) which requires entities to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations so as not to be overly complex or difficult to apply to stakeholders. Only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2015. Based on the Company’s evaluation of ASU 2014-08, the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2015 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
