Description of Business

 

COMSovereign Holding Corp., formerly known as Drone Aviation Holding Corp. ("the "Company"), is a provider of technologically-advanced telecom solutions to network operators, mobile device carriers, governmental units and other enterprises worldwide. The Company has assembled a portfolio of communications, power and niche technologies, capabilities and products that enable the upgrading of latent 3G networks to 4G and 4G-LTE networks and will facilitate the rapid rollout of the 5G and "next-Generation" ("nG") networks of the future. The Company focuses on special capabilities, including signal modulations, antennae, software, hardware and firmware technologies that enable increasingly efficient data transmission across the radio-frequency spectrum. The Company's product solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration, and sophisticated research and development programs. The Company competes globally on the basis of its innovative technology, broad product offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, as well as the scale of its global customer base and distribution. In addition, the Company believes it is in a unique position to rapidly increase its near-term domestic sales as it is among the few U.S.-based providers of telecommunications equipment and services.

 

Acquisition of ComSovereign Corp.

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 17, 2014. On November 27, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 27, 2019 (the "Merger Agreement") with ComSovereign Corp., a Delaware corporation ("ComSovereign"), and DACS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Merger Sub with and into ComSovereign (hereafter referred to as the "ComSovereign Acquisition"). As a result of the ComSovereign Acquisition, Merger Sub ceased to exist, and ComSovereign became the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, the former stockholders of ComSovereign (the "ComSovereign Stockholders") received a direct equity ownership and controlling equity interest in the Company. For each share of ComSovereign common stock, the stockholder received 1.8902 shares of the Company's common stock. The ComSovereign Acquisition was completed on November 27, 2019. On December 10, 2019, the Company changed its name from Drone Aviation Holding Corp. to COMSovereign Holding Corp.

 

The ComSovereign Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger with ComSovereign acquiring the assets of the Company, and the net assets, including other intangible assets, of the Company prior to the ComSovereign Acquisition being recorded at fair value with the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. As a result of the completion of the ComSovereign Acquisition, these consolidated financial statements include (1) the assets and liabilities of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ComSovereign and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2019, (2) the historical operations of ComSovereign from inception (January 10, 2019) to the date of consummation of the ComSovereign Acquisition, and (3) and the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the date of completion of the ComSovereign Acquisition (November 27, 2019) to December 31, 2019.
