Note 1 – Description of Business

 

AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (the “Company” and/or “AgEagle”) designs, produces, distributes and supports technologically-advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) that the Company offers for sale commercially to the precision agriculture industry. Additionally, the Company recently announced a new service offering using its UAVs and associated data processing services for the sustainable agriculture industry. The Company’s first commercially available product was the AgEagle Classic which was followed shortly thereafter by the RAPID System. As the Company improved and matured its products the Company launched the RX-60 and subsequently its current products, the RX-47 and RX-48. In February 2016, the Company signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Raven Industries, Inc. (“Raven”) under which Raven would purchase the RX-60 for the agriculture markets for resale through their network of dealers worldwide. The first shipment of our RX-60 system to Raven occurred in March 2016. In 2017, the Company amended its agreement with Raven to make it non-exclusive and to allow the Company to sell its products directly into the market. As a result, the Company began selling its products directly to farmers and agronomists and the Company does not anticipate sales to, or through Raven in the near future.

 

The Company believes the success it has achieved with its products, stems from its ability to invent and deliver advanced solutions utilizing our proprietary technologies and trade secrets that help farmers, agronomists and other precision agricultural professionals operate more effectively and efficiently. The Company’s core technological capabilities, developed over five years of innovation, include a lightweight laminated shell that allows the UAV platform to perform under challenging flying conditions, a camera with a Near Infrared (NIR) filter, a rugged foot launcher (RX-60), and high end software provided by third parties that automates drone flights and provides geo-referenced data. Research and development activities are integral to the Company’s business and it follows a disciplined approach to investing our resources to create new technologies and solutions.

 

The Company is headquartered in Neodesha, Kansas 66757. Its website address is http://www.ageagle.com.

 

Corporate History; Recent Business Combination 

 

On March 26, 2018 (the “Merger Date), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 19, 2017, pursuant to which AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a privately held company organized under the laws of the state of Nevada (“AgEagle Sub”), with AgEagle Sub surviving as its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name to AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. and AgEagle Sub changed its name to “AgEagle Aerial, Inc.” The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the NYSE American under its new symbol “UAVS” since March 27, 2018.

 

Prior to the merger, the Company was formerly known as Millennium Plastics Corporation and was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 31, 1999. In August 2006, the Company acquired Midwest Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation pursuant to a reverse merger. After such merger, Midwest Energy became a wholly-owned subsidiary, and as a result of such merger, the former Midwest Energy stockholders controlled approximately 98% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The Company changed its name to EnerJex Resources, Inc., (“EnerJex”) in connection with this merger, and in November 2007, it changed the name of Midwest Energy (one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) to EnerJex Kansas, Inc. (“EnerJex Kansas”). All of its operations conducted prior to this merger were through EnerJex Kansas, Inc., Black Sable Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Black Sable”) and Black Raven Energy, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Black Raven”). The Company’s leasehold interests were held in our wholly-owned subsidiaries Black Sable, Working Interest, LLC, EnerJex Kansas and Black Raven.

In November 2017, AgEagle Sub entered into a multi-agreement arrangement with Agribotix, LLC (“Agribotix”), headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, a leading agricultural information processing company providing actionable data to the agriculture industry. See Note 5 for further details about the transaction. 

 

  

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with AgEagle Sub’s, AgEagle Aerial, Inc.’s audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included as part of the Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 29, 2018.

 

 Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for bad debt, warranty and dealer termination costs, obsolete inventory, valuation of stock issued for services and stock options and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, convertible debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents includes any highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy -Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Terms with our distributor allow for payment terms of 45 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. The Company generally does not charge interest on overdue customer account balances. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The Company determined that no allowance was necessary as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

  

Inventories - Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

 

Provisions for Inventory Obsolescence – The Company has a provision for estimated obsolescence and shrinkage of inventory as of June 30, 2018 of $19,285. Our estimates consider the cost of inventory, forecasted demand, the estimated market value, the shelf life of the inventory and our historical experience. If demand for a product declines or a change in the features of our products changes the components required to build it is reasonably likely that circumstances may cause the estimate to change, which would result in additional charges to net income.

 

Research and Development - The Company expenses research and development costs during the period incurred, which totaled $0 and $476 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively and $1,563 and $5,880 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

 Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight- line basis over the shorter of their estimated lives or the remaining lease term. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Investee -The Company accounts for investments in which the Company owns more than 20% or more of the investee, using the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method, an investor initially records an investment in the stock of an investee at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the investor's share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income by the investor, and such amount reflects adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated statements including adjustments to eliminate intercompany gains and losses, and to amortize, if appropriate, any difference between investor cost and underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. The investment of an investor is also adjusted to reflect the investor's share of changes in the investee's capital. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred which is other than temporary and which should be recognized even though the decrease in value is in excess of what would otherwise be recognized by application of the equity method.

Shipping Costs - Shipping costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $2,548 and $1,597, respectively and $1,904 and $2,553 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. All shipping costs billed directly to the customer are directly offset to shipping costs resulting in a net expense to the Company which is included in cost of goods sold in shipments of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition and Concentration

 

The Company generally recognizes revenue on sales to customer, dealer and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory. The Company generally ships FOB Shipping Point terms. Shipping documents are used to verify delivery and customer acceptance. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and quantity of drones being purchased. The Company assesses collectability based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by evaluations and the customer’s payment history. Additionally, customers are required to place a deposit on each drone ordered.

 

The Company has executed one significant non-exclusive worldwide distributor agreement in 2016 and a dealer agreement whereby the dealer and distributor agreed to purchase AgEagle drones and other related products. In 2017, the Company amended its agreement with Raven to make it non-exclusive and to allow the Company to sell its products directly into the market. Only the non-exclusive worldwide distributor has the right of return within twelve months of purchase up to a certain percentage of the annual sales volume less a restocking fee. As of June 30, 2018, no sales of the Company are subject to this right of return clause per the distributor agreement.

 

Sales concentration information for customers comprising more than 10% of our total net sales such customers is summarized below: 

 

                    Percent of total sales for six months ended June 30,
Customers   2018   2017
Customer A   17.2%   *
Customer B   15.1%   *
Customer C   13.1%   *
Customer D   10.6%   *
Customer E   10.1%   *
Customer F   *   12.8%
Customer G   *   10.6%

Advertising Costs – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $483 and $1,389 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $5,043 and $ 6,078 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Earnings Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options and convertible instruments. 

 

Potentially Dilutive Securities - The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 828,200 warrants and 1,246,329 options to purchase common stock, and 6,257 Preferred Series C shares which may be converted into 4,214,672 common shares. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 498,000 warrants and 207,500 options to purchase common stock, and 1,544,869 potential convertible shares which may be issued resulting from the provisions of convertible notes.

  

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. All income tax returns not filed more than three years ago are subject to federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities.

   

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards - In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This updated guidance supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Topic 606 requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and recognize revenue under the new standard as costs are incurred. Under previous U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), revenue was generally recognized when deliveries were made, performance milestones were attained, or as costs were incurred. The new standard accelerates the timing of when the revenue is recognized, however, it does not change the total amount of revenue recognized on these contracts. The new standard does not affect revenue recognition for purposes of the Company’s sales as each of the Company’s revenue transactions represent a single performance obligation that is satisfied at a point time, as defined in the new ASU.  Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for these customers at the point in time when the Company’s performance obligation is complete, which is when the customer accepts delivery of the drone. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial statements. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will adopt and the expected impact of the updated guidance, but does not believe the adoption of the updated guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February, 2016, FASB issued Account Standards Update 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transaction whereby lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance, but does not believe the adoption of the updated guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Note 5 —Investment in Unconsolidated Investee

 

In November 2017, AgEagle Sub entered into a multi-agreement arrangement with Agribotix, LLC (“Agribotix”), headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, an agricultural information processing company providing actionable data to the agriculture industry.  Agribotix’s platform delivers agricultural intelligence to increase yields and profits using drone-enabled technologies. Agribotix was founded in 2013 by Dr. Tom McKinnon, its Chief Technology Officer.

 

The Company believes that developing a strong working relationship with Agribotix will benefit the Company and its shareholders by developing important vertically integrated products and services.  Agribotix’s primary product is FarmLens™, a subscription cloud analytics service that processes data, primarily collected with a drone such as the Company’s, and makes such data usable by farmers and agronomists. FarmLens is currently sold by Agribotix as a subscription and offered either standalone or in a bundle with major drone platforms manufactured by leading drone providers like AgEagle, DJI, and senseFly.

 

Agribotix extends the reach of its FarmLens platform by partnering with and directly integrating into offerings by leading agricultural companies like John Deere’s Operations Center and The Climate Corporation’s FieldView.  To date, Agribotix has processed agricultural imagery for over 50 different crop types from over 50 countries around the world.

 

The agreements reached between the Company, through AgEagle Sub, and Agribotix include:

 

  Dealer Agreement whereby the Company appointed Agribotix as a non-exclusive dealer of the Company’s products on a worldwide, best efforts basis.  The term of the agreement is for twelve months with marketing and sales commencing on or after January 1, 2018, and automatically renews for one-year periods unless otherwise terminated.  Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days’ written notice.  Both parties agree to provide standard reporting and support services.  Agribotix is required to maintain proper insurance and is obligated to standard confidentiality clauses.  The Company has the right to audit Agribotix on an annual basis for its business under this agreement.  Both parties agreed to standard indemnification clauses.
     
  Distribution and Resale Agreement whereby Agribotix appointed the Company as a non-exclusive distributor of Agribotix products and analytic services including FarmLens on a worldwide, best efforts basis. The term of the agreement is for twelve months and automatically renews for one-year periods unless otherwise terminated.  Either party may terminate the agreement with 90 days’ written notice. Both parties agree to provide standard reporting and support services. The Company is required to maintain proper insurance and is obligated to standard confidentiality clauses. Both parties agree to standard indemnification clauses.

  Exchange Agreement whereby, to further align interests between the parties, AgEagle Sub exchanged 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock it received in the Merger (equal to an aggregate value of $1,000,000) for 20% of the equity membership interests of Agribotix.  The shares did not affect the Merger exchange ratio, and therefore was not additionally dilutive to the Company’s shareholders.
     
  As part of the signing of the exchange agreement three promissory notes totaling $110,000 with a 6% per annum interest payable that were executed between Agribotix and AgEagle Sub in exchange for exclusive dealing until the later of 120 days after the signing date, or the termination date as defined per the exchange agreement has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as part of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated investee as of the date of close of the Merger Agreement.

   

The Company accounts for its investment in Agribotix using the equity method of accounting. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s investment, and the amount of underlying equity in the net assets of Agribotix, totaling approximately $445,108 is accounted for as if Agribotix was a consolidated subsidiary and all identifiable assets, including goodwill and identifiable intangibles, were recorded at fair value and amortized, with this amortization recorded in “memo” and included in the Company’s portion of earnings of Agribotix.

Options

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved a proposal to adopt and approve the EnerJex 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Board of Directors recommended that this proposal be presented to the EnerJex shareholders for approval. The Plan became effective on March 26, 2018, the date of the Merger, and is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan under which the Company can grant equity-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees and directors of, and consultants and advisers to, the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to help the Company attract, motivate and retain such persons and thereby enhance shareholder value.

 

The Company has reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance as or under awards to be made under the Plan. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares subject to such award shall again be available for the grant of a new award. The Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided, however, that the Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted. The number of shares for which awards which are options or SARs may be granted to a participant under the Plan during any calendar year is limited to 500,000. For purposes of qualifying awards as “performance-based” compensation under Code Section 162(m), the maximum amount of cash compensation that may be paid to any person under the Plan in any single calendar year shall be $500,000.

 

On June 30, 2018, the Company issued options to purchase 49,500 shares of common stock to directors of the Company at the fair-market value exercise price of $1.82 per share expiring on June 29, 2023.

In connection with the issuance of these options the Company recognized $19,932 stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as the vesting period will commenced April 1, 2018.

On October 4, 2017, AgEagle Sub held a board meeting to approve the modification of the existing 207,055 options to purchase common stock from an exercise price of $2.60 to $0.06 per share.

Note 7 — Equity – Continued

  

The fair value of options granted during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2018, were determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day.

 

The significant weighted average assumptions relating to the valuation of the Company’s stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:

For options granted in 2018, the fair value of the Company’s stock was obtained per the close of market as of June 30, 2018. The future expected stock-based compensation expense expected to be recognized in future years is $211,433 through June 30, 2020. 

 

Intrinsic value is measured using the fair market value at the date of exercise (for shares exercised) or at June 30, 2018 (for outstanding options), less the applicable exercise price.

Merger Agreement

 

On March 26, 2018, EnerJex Resources, Inc. (“EnerJex”), a Nevada company, consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 19, 2017, pursuant to which AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex, merged with and into AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a privately held company organized under the laws of the state of Nevada (“AgEagle Sub”), with AgEagle Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, EnerJex changed its name to AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (the “Company, “we,” “our,” or “us”) and AgEagle Sub changed its name to “Eagle Aerial Systems, Inc.” Our common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under its new symbol “UAVS” commencing on March 27, 2018. As a result of the Merger, through AgEagle Sub, the Company is now engaged in the business of designing, developing, producing, distributing and supporting technologically-advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) that we supply to the precision agriculture industry.

 

Each share of common stock issued and outstanding and underlying options and warrants of AgEagle Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was exchanged for 1.66 shares of Company common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). As a result, at the effective time of the Merger Date (the “Effective Time”), 5,439,526 shares of AgEagle Sub’s capital stock, representing all currently outstanding common shares and all other debt or equity securities convertible into common shares (except options and warrants as described below) were automatically converted into 7,944,941 shares of Company common stock. In addition, at the Effective Time, 685,100 outstanding options and 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of AgEagle Sub common stock were assumed by EnerJex and converted into 1,134,830 options and 828,221 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company.

 

All holders of EnerJex’s 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) had their shares automatically converted into 896,640 shares of the Company’s common stock. EnerJex’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) remains outstanding, and 1,623.79 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) are now convertible into 1,060,432 shares of Company common stock. Furthermore, an additional 5,050.60 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, convertible into 3,298,348 shares of Company common stock, were issued to the current holder of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with a $4 million financing of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Financing”) and the conversion and retirement of $425,000 in prior EnerJex promissory notes due and owing to such holder.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies - Continued

 

As of the Effective Time, the former shareholders of AgEagle Sub own approximately 67% of the Company’s common stock (inclusive of the AgEagle Sub assumed stock options and warrants), the former EnerJex holders of common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Financing, collectively own 12.7% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

 

In connection with the Merger, AgEagle waived the requirement for EnerJex to have paid and satisfied in full all outstanding indebtedness of EnerJex such that there would be no continuing liabilities of EnerJex subsequent to the closing of the Merger (“Liability Condition”). In consideration for AgEagle waiving the Liability Condition, the 1,215,278 shares of common stock to be held in escrow (valued at $350,000) owned by certain former principal stockholders, officers and directors of EnerJex to secure losses, if any, that may be suffered by the AgEagle indemnified parties pursuant to the indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement, were never issued and such former principal stockholders, officers and directors are not entitled to receive such shares. However, such former principal stockholders, officers and directors received, in the aggregate, deferred salaries and fees valued at approximately $297,500. In lieu of payment of the deferred salaries and fees in cash, such amounts have been converted into an aggregate of 1,032,986 shares of Company common stock.

 

Prior to the Merger, EnerJex operated as an oil exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration and production of oil in Eastern Kansas. In connection with the Merger, EnerJex disposed of its principal assets, consisting primarily of its Kansas oil and gas properties.

Company Overview

 

         On March 26, 2018, EnerJex Resources, Inc. (“EnerJex”), a Nevada company, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 19, 2017, pursuant to which AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex, merged with and into AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a privately held company organized under the laws of the state of Nevada (“AgEagle Sub”), with AgEagle Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnerJex (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, EnerJex changed its name to AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company, “we,” “our,” or “us”) and AgEagle Sub changed its name to “AgEagle Aerial, Inc.” Our common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under its new symbol “UAVS” commencing on March 27, 2018. As a result of the Merger, through AgEagle Sub, we are now engaged in the business of designing, developing, producing, distributing and supporting technologically-advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) that we supply to the precision agriculture industry.

We are headquartered in Neodesha, Kansas, and are a manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles focused on providing actionable data to the precision agriculture industry. We design, produce, distribute and support technologically-advanced small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) that we offer for sale commercially to the precision agriculture industry. Additionally, we recently announced a new service offering using our UAVs and associated data processing services for the sustainable agriculture industry.

 

Historically, AgEagle’s derived the majority of its revenue from the sale of our AgEagle Classic and RAPID Systems. However, as a result of the development of our new product, the RX-60, RX-47 and RX-48, we will no longer manufacture and distribute our previous two systems. We believe that the UAV industry is currently in the early stages of development and has significant growth potential. Additionally, we believe that some of the innovative potential products in our research and development pipeline will emerge and gain traction as new growth platforms in the future, creating market opportunities.

 

In February 2016, we signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Raven Industries, Inc. (“Raven”) under which Raven would purchase the RX-60 for the agriculture markets for resale through their network of dealers worldwide. The first shipment of our RX-60 system to Raven occurred in March 2016. In 2017, we amended our agreement with Raven to make it non-exclusive and to allow us to sell our products directly into the market. As a result, we began selling our products directly to farmers and agronomists and we do not anticipate sales to, or through Raven in the near future.

The success we have achieved with our products, which we believe has carried over into the new RX-47 and RX-48, stems from our ability to invent and deliver advanced solutions utilizing our proprietary technologies and trade secrets that help farmers, agronomists and other precision agricultural professionals operate more effectively and efficiently.

 

Our core technological capabilities, developed over five years of innovation, include a lightweight laminated shell that allows the UAV platform to perform under challenging flying conditions, a camera with a Near Infrared (NIR) filter, a rugged foot launcher (RX-60), and high end software provided by third parties that automates drone flights and provides geo-referenced data. We design all of our UAVs to be man-portable, thereby allowing one person to launch and operate them through a hand-held control unit or tablet. All of our UAVs are electrically powered, weigh approximately six pounds fully loaded, are capable of flying over approximately 400 acres (roughly 60 minutes of airtime) per flight from their launch location, and are configured to carry a camera with our NIR filter that uses near infrared images to capture crop data. We believe that these characteristics make our UAVs well suited for providing a complete aerial view of a farmer’s field to help precisely identify crop health and field conditions faster than any other method available.

 

We believe the success that has been achieved with our products, stems from its ability to invent and deliver advanced solutions utilizing our proprietary technologies and trade secrets that help farmers, agronomists and other precision agricultural professionals operate more effectively and efficiently. Our UAVs were initially specifically designed to help farmers increase profits by pinpointing areas where nutrients or chemicals need to be applied, as opposed to traditional widespread land application processes, thus decreasing input costs, reducing the amount of chemicals applied and potentially increasing yields. Our products were designed for busy agriculture professionals who do not have the time to process images on their computers, which some of our competitors require, and our first generation product, the AgEagle Classic used to do. Our UAVs can be programmed using a tablet device to overlay a flight path over a farmer’s specific crop area. The software can automatically take pictures from the camera, stitch the photos together through the cloud, and deliver a geo-referenced, high quality aerial map to the user’s desktop or tablet device using specialty precision agriculture software such as SST Software or SMS Software. The result is a prescription or zone map that can then be used in a field computer that can typically be found in a sprayer or applicator that has been designed to drive through fields to precisely apply the amount of nutrients or chemicals required to continue or restore the production of healthy yields

 

Research and development activities are integral to our business and we follow a disciplined approach to investing our resources to create new technologies and solutions.

 

In November 2017, we entered into a multi-agreement arrangement with Agribotix, LLC (“Agribotix”), headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, a leading agricultural information processing company providing actionable data to the agriculture industry. See Note 5 for further details about the transaction.

   

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. 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 stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to: collectability of receivables, realizability of inventories, warranty accruals, valuation of share-based transactions, and valuation of deferred tax assets. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 See Note 2 in the accompanying unaudited financial statements for a listing of our critical accounting policies.

Results of Operations

 

For the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded revenues of $24,517 compared to revenues of $47,192 for the same period in 2017, representing a 48% decrease. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded revenues of $53,707 compared to revenues of $82,391 for the same period in 2017, a 35% decrease. The decrease was due to a shift in the drone industry from do-it-yourself, early adopter farmers to a more services oriented model whereby independent agronomists provided prescriptions for the application of chemicals based on data they collect through aerial imagery and drones. The Company is in the process of addressing this change in the market through strategic acquisitions and the launch of a service oriented model toward sustainable markets as result of the recent infusion of operating capital and significant reduction of debt.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cost of sales totaled $18,174 and $36,905, respectively, a decrease of 50%. Costs of sales totaled $41,971 and $43,183, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, reflecting a decrease in our cost of goods sold of 3%. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017 we had a gross profit of $6,343 or 26% and $10,287 or 22% representing an increase of 4% in our profit margins. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we had a gross profit of $11,736 or 22% and $39,208 or 48%, a decrease in our profit margins of 26%. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our cost of sales decreased while increasing our gross margin as we did not sell our slow-moving inventory during the period and instead focused on our UAVS sales. The decrease in our gross margin and increase in our costs of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in comparison to the comparable prior periods is due to the increase of slow-moving inventory due to the innovation of our products which resulted in raw-materials being sold at a discount such as sensors, cameras and other parts.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 we recorded $428,044 and $15,578 in professional fees, respectively, a 2,648% increase. The increase is mainly due to more professional fees related to legal, accounting and consulting services in connection with the Merger completed on March 26, 2018 and the on-going expenses related to us being publicly traded such as legal, audit and consulting services. General and administrative expenses also increased 208% as we had $233,797 of expenses for the current period versus $75,999 in the comparable prior period. This was mainly due to an increase in salaries, financial service fees, investor relations costs and stock compensation expense due to the issuance of shares and options to directors and employees. Lastly included in operating expenses was selling costs that increased 222% to $27,005 versus $8,377 in the prior comparable period due to attendance to various trade shows in that propel our sustainable market initiatives.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 we recorded $578,629 and $101,550 in professional fees, respectively, a 470% increase.

General and administrative expenses also increased 89% as we had $269,823 of expenses for the current period versus $142,625 in the comparable prior period.

The decrease is mainly due to the conversion of all debt as of the date of the merger with EnerJex except for the promissory note assumed as a result of the merger and the amortization of debt discounts in 2017 totaling $18,621 that was not recorded in 2018.

 

Our net loss was $712,210 and $133,474 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $915,707 and $306,054, for the six month ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Cash Flows

 

June 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017

 

Cash on hand was $2,560,062 at June 30, 2018 compared to the $35,289 at December 31, 2017, an increase of $2,524,773. Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $(1,683,498) compared to $(245,983) of cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was driven mainly by a significant amount of accounts payable assumed by us in the amount of $950,258 from EnerJex in connection with the Merger and added insurance expenses that were prepaid of $ 101,282. We also recorded non-cash expenses of $135,600 for stock issued in exchange for services and investment in unconsolidated investee of $30,352.

 

Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $221,255 compared to cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $12,775, the increase was mainly due to the $265,255 of cash acquired in connection with the Merger and . a payment to Agribotix of $35,000 related to the investment made in Agribotix..

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $3,987,016 compared to $248,050 as of June 30, 2017. This was as a result of $4,000,000 net of $20,000 in fees invested in the company in exchange for common and preferred shares. Cash was also used to repurchase shares from a shareholder for $210,642 and make payments of $32,341 on the promissory note assumed from Enerjex offset by additional cash that was received in connection with issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On November 21, 2017, Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) signed a binding commitment letter with EnerJex to provide prior to or at the closing of the Merger a minimum of $4 million in new equity capital (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was consummated on March 26, 2018. In connection with the Private Placement, Alpha purchased an additional 4,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for total aggregate consideration of $4 million. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,612,245 shares of our common stock. In addition, as consideration for their funding commitment, Alpha received a fee equal to 408,552 shares of our common stock.

 

On May 11, 2018, we issued an additional 250 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 163,265 shares of our common stock. received a cash payment of $250,000 for the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock includes a beneficial ownership limitation preventing conversion of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into more than 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the stated value of $1,000 per share, by (y) a conversion price of $1.53. Until the volume weighted average price of our common stock on NYSE exceeds $107.50 with average trading volume of 200,000 shares per day for ten consecutive trading days, the conversion price of our Series C Preferred Stock is subject to full-ratchet, anti-dilution price protection. Under that provision, if, while that full-ratchet, anti-dilution price protection is in effect, we issue shares of our common stock at a price per share (the “Dilutive Price”) that is less than the conversion price, then the conversion price of our Series C Preferred Stock is automatically reduced to be equal to the Dilutive Price. The effect of that reduction is that, upon the issuance of shares of common stock at a Dilutive Price, the Series C Preferred Stock would be convertible into a greater number of shares of our common stock.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in reliance on the recipient’s status as an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.,

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had working capital of $2,307,361 and a loss from operations of $900,203 for the period then ended.  While there can be no guarantees, we believe cash on hand, in connection with cash from operations and this offering, will be sufficient to fund operations for the next year of operations.  In addition, we intend to pursue other opportunities of financing with outside investors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2018, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1. pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and

 

3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
