PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (“PASSUR®” or the “Company”) is a leading aviation business intelligence company that provides predictive analytics and decision-support technology for the aviation industry based on its unique, proprietary technology and real-time accessible databases, supported by a number of leading industry experts, and a proven management team.

 

PASSUR® serves all of the 8 largest North American airlines, more than 60 airport customers, including 22 of the top 30 North American airports, approximately 150 corporate aviation customers, as well as the U.S. government, using a recurring-revenue subscription model.               

 

PASSUR®’s products include a suite of web-based solutions that address the aviation industry’s most intractable and costly challenges, including underutilization of airspace and airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions, among other inefficiencies. Solutions offered by PASSUR® cover the entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, and result in reductions in overall costs, fuel costs, and emissions, while maximizing revenue opportunities, as well as improving operational efficiency, and enhancing the passenger experience. The Company provides data consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services.

 

PASSUR® owns and operates what the Company believes is the largest private passive commercial air traffic surveillance and passive radar network in the world, with one hundred and seventy-five passive radar locations, powering a unique, proprietary database that is accessible in real time, on demand, for critical and timely decision-making with nationwide coverage to support network-wide systemic deployments. The Company’s database contains over 10 years of archived data derived from the network. The Company’s network provides a unique flight tracking data source available to the private sector, which is based on independent, non-U.S. government data, while also including all publicly available government feeds as well. The Company’s unique data supplements the government feeds and offers faster updates, with flight tracks updated every 1 to 4.6 seconds, enabling better flight tracking and more cost effective decision-making during irregular operations.

 

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital deficiency by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR® Network Systems information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company’s customer-base and subscription-based revenues.

 

If the Company’s business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company’s operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing. However, the Company has received a commitment from its significant shareholder and Chairman, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, dated June 10, 2014, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 10, 2015, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations.
