Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

April 30, 2019

 (Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (“PASSUR” or the “Company”), a New York corporation founded in 1967, is a business intelligence company that provides the aviation industry with predictive analytics and decision support technology primarily to improve the operational performance and cash flow of airlines and the airports where they operate. PASSUR uses big data, within the aviation intelligence platform, and a suite of web-based solutions to address the aviation industry’s intractable and costly challenges, including, but not limited to, the underutilization of airspace and airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions. The Company’s technology platform is supported by its Aviation Intelligence Center of Excellence, a team of subject matter experts with extensive experience in airline, airport, and business aviation operations, finance, air traffic management, systems automation, and data visualization, and has specific expertise in the operational and business needs, requirements, objectives, and constraints of the aviation industry.

PASSUR’s mission is to improve global air traffic efficiencies by connecting the world’s aviation professionals on a single aviation intelligence platform, making PASSUR an element in addressing the aviation industry’s system-wide inefficiencies. We are an aviation intelligence company that makes air travel more predictable, gate-to-gate, by using predictive analytics generated from our own big data, to mitigate constraints for airlines and their passengers.

PASSUR’s information solutions are used by the five largest North American airlines, more than 60 airport customers, including 20 of the top 30 North American airports (with PASSUR solutions also used at the remaining ten airports by one or more airline customers), over a hundred business aviation organizations, and the U.S. government.

PASSUR provides data aggregation and consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services. To enable this unique offering, PASSUR owns and operates the world’s largest commercial passive radar network, which updates flight tracks every 1 to 4.6 seconds. Our radar network powers a proprietary database that is accessible in real-time and delivers timely, accurate information and solutions via PASSUR’s industry-leading algorithms and business logic.

Solutions offered by PASSUR help to ensure flight completion, covering the entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, result in reductions in overall costs and carbon emissions, help to maximize revenue opportunities, improve operational efficiency and enhance the passenger experience.

PASSUR’s commercial solutions enable aviation operators to optimize performance in today’s air traffic management system, while also achieving Next Generation Air Transportation System (“NextGen”) and Single European Sky ATM Research objectives.

PASSUR integrates data from multiple sources, including its independent network of surveillance sensors installed throughout North America (creating coast-to-coast coverage), Europe and Asia; government data; customer data; and data from third party partners. PASSUR’s sensors receive aircraft and drone signals in Mode A, C, S, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (“ADS-B”), and provide position, altitude, beacon code, and tail number, among other information. PASSUR receives signals from aircraft that, when combined with its historical database of aircraft and airport behavior, including information recorded by its network over the last 15 years, allow the Company to know more about what has happened historically and what is happening in real-time. In addition, the historical database allows the Company to predict how aircraft, the airspace, and airports are going to perform, and more importantly, how the aircraft, the airspace, and airports should perform.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q represents interim condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include all footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such footnote information was included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); the consolidated financial data included herein should be read in conjunction with that report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of April 30, 2019, and its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, and 2018.

The results of operations for the interim period stated above are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be recorded for the full fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

Certain financial information in the footnotes has been rounded to the nearest thousand for presentation purposes.

Liquidity

The Company’s current assets exceeded current liabilities, excluding deferred revenue, by $104,000 as of April 30, 2019. The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, was $6,960,000 at April 30, 2019, with a maturity of November 1, 2020. The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $1,934,000 at April 30, 2019. The Company had a net loss of $2,066,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019.

If the Company’s business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing on commercially reasonable terms. However, the Company has received a commitment from G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, dated June 11, 2019, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 11, 2020, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert will provide the Company with the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASSUR and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, software development costs, the PASSUR Network and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606").   The Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled.

The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription-based, real-time decision and solution information and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
9


The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
   
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
   
Determination of transaction price;
   
Allocation of transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
   
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognized revenue during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, of $3,634,000 and $7,290,000, respectively, under Topic 606, which was not materially different from what would have been recognized under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ("Topic 605"). The Company recorded an addition to opening accumulated deficit and a reduction to deferred revenue of approximately $66,000, respectively, as of November 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606.

A.   Nature of performance obligations

Subscription services revenue

Subscription services revenue is comprised of cloud-based subscription fees that provide the customer the right to access the Company’s software and receive support and updates, if any, for a period of time. The Company has determined such access represents a stand-ready service provided continually throughout the contract term. As such, control and satisfaction of this stand-ready performance obligation is deemed to occur over time. The Company’s subscription contracts include a fixed amount of consideration that is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable contract term, beginning on the date that access is made available to the customer. The passage of time is deemed to be the most faithful depiction of the transfer of control of the services as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company’s performance. Subscription contracts are generally one to three years in length, billed either monthly, quarterly or annually, typically in advance, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. The Company’s subscription contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days. There is no significant variable consideration related to these arrangements. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.

Professional services revenue

Professional services primarily consist of value assessments and customer training services. Payment for professional services is generally a fixed fee or a fee based on time and materials. The obligation to provide professional services is generally satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. For professional services, revenue is recognized by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours, and as a practical expedient, progress for services that are contracted for time and materials is generally based on the amount the Company has the right to invoice. Professional services contracts are generally one year or less in length, billed either in advance, upon pre-defined milestones or as services are rendered, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. The Company’s professional service contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days.

Material rights

Contracts with customers may include material rights which are also performance obligations. Material rights primarily arise when the contract gives the customer the right to renew subscription services at a discounted price in the future. This may occur from time to time when the Company’s contracts provide an implicit discount as the customer pays a nonrefundable up-front fee in connection with the initial services contract that it does not have to pay again in order to renew the service. These non-refundable up-front fees are not related to any promised service that the customer benefits from other than providing access to the subscription service.  Revenue allocated to material rights is recognized when the customer exercises the right over the estimated renewal period of five years or when the right expires. If exercised by the customer, the amount previously deferred for the material right is included in the transaction price of the renewal contract and allocated to the services included in that contract. If expired, revenue is recognized as subscription services revenue in the period the right expired. If the up-front fees do not provide the customer with a material right, then the amount is included in the transaction price of the initial services contract and allocated to the performance obligations in that contract.
10

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple distinct performance obligations. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis.  The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. The Company maximizes the use of directly observable transactions to determine the standalone selling prices for its performance obligations. For subscription services, the Company separately determines the standalone selling prices by type of solution and customer demographics. For professional services, the Company separately determines standalone selling price by type of services.

Other policies and judgments

The commissions that the Company pays for obtaining a contract with a customer are conditional on future service provided by the employee. Therefore, since these costs are not incremental solely based on obtaining a contract, the Company does not defer any commission costs.

C. Contract Balances

The opening and closing balances of the Company's accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:

The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s unbilled receivable and deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment.

Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to customers for which the revenue recognition criteria has not yet been met. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the Company’s subscription services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. Deferred revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. The Company generally invoices its customers in monthly, quarterly or annual installments for subscription services. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not generally represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancellable subscription arrangements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at November 1, 2018 was $260,000 and $2,585,000.
11

Unbilled accounts receivable relates to the delivery of subscription and/or professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period.

D. Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligation

The table above includes amounts billed and not yet recognized as revenue, as well as, unrecognized future committed billings in customer contracts and excludes future billing amounts for which the customer has a termination for convenience right in their agreement.

Cost of Revenues

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR and Surface Multilateration (“SMLAT”) Network Systems (both collectively, the “PASSUR Network”), amortization of capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also, included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR and SMLAT Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR and SMLAT Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems added to the PASSUR Network, which includes the cost of production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR Network; and (2) new capitalized costs associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred to as “Capitalized Assets” and are depreciated and/or amortized over their respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017 the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax reform commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”).  Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted.  The TCJA made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to: (1) reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018; (2) changed the rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; (3) accelerated expensing on certain qualified property; (4) created a new limitation on deductible interest expense to 30% of tax adjusted EBITDA through 2021 and then 30% of tax adjusted EBIT thereafter; (5) eliminated the corporate alternative minimum tax; and (6) imposed further limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation under IRC §162(m) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

As the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate is administratively effective on January 1, 2018, our blended U.S. federal tax rate for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, was approximately 23.2%. The U.S. federal corporate tax rate for the fiscal year ended on and after October 31, 2019 is 21%.   Given our full valuation allowance position, the Company did not record an income tax expense (benefit) in connection with the TCJA.  The Company completed its accounting for the TCJA as of October 31, 2018.
12

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. For both the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record an income tax provision (benefit).  The Company is projecting its annual effective tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2019 to be 0% as its net deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due from its customers under the original terms of its subscription agreements without making concessions. The Company records accounts receivables for agreements where amounts due from customers are contractually required and are non-refundable. The carrying amount of accounts receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Net accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective customer’s agreement. Account receivable balances include amounts attributable to deferred revenues. The Company’s accounts receivable balances included $3,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers as of the six months ended April 30, 2019, which will be invoiced subsequent to April 30, 2019. At October 31, 2018, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included $12,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers during the twelve months ended October 31, 2018.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $159,000 as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, and economic trends. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the provision is adequate.

PASSUR Network

The PASSUR Network is comprised of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems, which includes the direct production, shipping, and installation costs incurred for each PASSUR and SMLAT System, which are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalized $61,000 of PASSUR Network costs for both the three and six months ended April 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company used $13,000 and $22,000 of PASSUR Network parts for repairs during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively, and did not make any material purchases of parts during the same period.

Depreciation expenses related to the Company-owned PASSUR Network was $210,000 and $416,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively. Depreciation is charged to cost of revenues and is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at five years for SMLAT Systems and seven years for PASSUR Systems.

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, the Company capitalized $58,000 and $125,000, respectively, of PASSUR Network costs. Additionally, the Company purchased parts for the PASSUR Network totaling $20,000 and $72,000 and used $7,000 and $11,000 of PASSUR Network parts for repairs during the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively.

Depreciation expenses related to the Company-owned PASSUR Network was $176,000 and $352,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively.

The net carrying balance of the PASSUR Network as of April 30, 2019, and October 31, 2018, was $4,426,000 and $4,801,000, respectively. Included in the net carrying balance as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, were parts and finished goods for the PASSUR Network totaling $1,857,000 and $1,892,000, respectively, which have not yet been installed. PASSUR Network assets which are not installed are carried at cost and not depreciated until installed.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software” (“ASC 350-40”). ASC 350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to the public.  It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.
13

The Company capitalized $647,000 and $1,342,000 of software development costs during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively.  For the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, the Company capitalized $754,000 and $1,302,000, respectively, of software development costs.

The Company amortized $592,000 and $1,112,000 of capitalized software development costs during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, the Company amortized $581,000 and $1,100,000 of capitalized software development costs. The Company records amortization of the software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, typically over five years within “Cost of Revenues”.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the asset’s revised life.

Deferred Tax Asset

Each reporting period, the Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will be realized.  The Company considered all available positive and negative evidence including the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operating results. The ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset is ultimately dependent on sufficient taxable income within the available carryback and/or carryforward periods to utilize the deductible temporary differences.  Based on the weight of available evidence including recent financial operating results, the Company determined its net deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis and that a valuation allowance is required against its net deferred tax assets.

At October 31, 2018, the Company had available federal net operating loss carryforwards of $12,780,000, of which $4,715,000 are indefinite lived and $8,065,000 will expire in various tax years from fiscal year 2022 through fiscal year 2038.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash, receivables, and accounts payables approximate their fair values principally because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not practicable to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company’s related party debt is held by its Chairman and significant shareholder, and the Company does not have any third-party debt with which to compare.

Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairments. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present, and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value.

Net Loss per Share Information

Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.

On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), subject to shareholder approval, unanimously adopted the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to replace the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”), which expired February 24, 2019. The Company’s shareholders approved the Plan on April 9, 2019, and the Plan became effective upon the date of its adoption by the Board. The Plan allows for a cashless exercise. Shares used to calculate net loss per share are as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense was $163,000 and $319,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $171,000 and $342,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation is primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

On November 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of applying the standard to all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged following adoption of Topic 606 and therefore the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on revenues. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the accounting for nonrefundable up-front fees. The Company recognized revenue during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, of $3,634,000 and $7,290,000, respectively, under Topic 606, which was not materially different from what would have been recognized under Topic 605. The Company recorded an addition to opening accumulated deficit and a reduction to deferred revenue of approximately $66,000, respectively, as of November 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation: Topic 718” — Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), to clarify when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new standard, modification is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of an award as equity or liability changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended January 31, 2019, using the prospective method, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the ASC and creates Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company's preliminary analysis indicates that the Company will recognize a liability for remaining lease payments and a right-of-use asset related to the Company's operating lease covering its corporate office and other facilities that expires through various dates through June 2023. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the Company's financial statements.

3. Notes Payable – Related Party

On January 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Fifth Debt Extension Agreement with G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s Chairman and significant stockholder, effective January 28, 2019, pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Gilbert agreed to modify certain terms and conditions of the debt agreement with Mr. Gilbert (the “Past Gilbert Note”). The maturity date of the Past Gilbert Note was November 1, 2019, and the total amount of principal and interest due and owing as of January 28, 2019 under the Past Gilbert Note was $7,122,000. Pursuant to the Fifth Debt Extension Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Gilbert a new debt agreement, which has a principal amount of $6,960,000 (the “Gilbert Note”), in exchange for the Past Gilbert Note and agreed to pay Mr. Gilbert $162,000 of interest which accrued under the Past Gilbert Note during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, at the time and on the terms set forth in the Past Gilbert Note. The Gilbert Note bears a maturity date of November 1, 2020, with an annual interest rate of 9 3/4%. Interest payments are due by October 31st of each fiscal year. The Gilbert Note is secured by the Company’s assets. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, and prior to January 28, 2019, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $910,000 (which amount is included in the outstanding principal amount of $6,960,000 under the Gilbert Note). During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Company paid $336,000 of interest incurred on the Gilbert Note through April 30, 2019.

The Company has evaluated its financial position as of April 30, 2019, including an operating loss of $1,730,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and working capital deficit of $4,103,000 as of April 30, 2019, and has requested and received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated June 11, 2019, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 11, 2020, Mr. Gilbert will provide the Company with the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations.  Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary.

Description of Business

The Company provides data aggregation and consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services. To enable this unique offering, PASSUR® owns and operates the world’s largest commercial passive radar network, which updates flight tracks every 1 to 4.6 seconds. Our radar network powers a proprietary database that is accessible in real-time and delivers timely, accurate information and solutions via PASSUR’s industry-leading algorithms and business logic.
16

PASSUR’s information solutions are used by the five largest North American airlines, more than 60 airport customers, including at the top 30 North American airports (with PASSUR solutions also used at the remaining ten airports by one or more airline customers), over a hundred business aviation organizations, as well as the U.S. government.

Our core business addresses some of aviation industry’s most intractable and costly challenges, including, but not limited to, the underutilization of airspace and airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions, among others. Several independent studies have estimated the annual direct costs of such inefficiencies to airlines in the United States at over $8 billion annually, and worldwide direct cost at over $30 billion annually.

Solutions offered by PASSUR help to ensure flight completion. They cover the entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, and result in reductions in overall costs and carbon emissions, help to maximize revenue opportunities, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the passenger experience.

The Company’s business plan is to continue to focus on increasing subscription-based revenues from its suite of software applications, and to develop new applications and professional services designed to address the needs of the aviation industry and the U.S. government. The Company’s goal is to help solve problems faced by its customers based on the following product development objectives:

1)
Continue developing decision support solutions built on business intelligence, predictive analytics, and web-dashboard technology;
   
2)
Continue integrating multiple additional industry data sets into the Company’s integrated aviation database, including data from a variety of additional aircraft, airspace, and ground surveillance technologies, in order to ensure that PASSUR is the primary choice for data integration and management for large aviation organizations;
   
3)
Continue extending the reach of the PASSUR Network, which provides the proprietary backbone for many of the Company’s solutions; and
   
4)
Continue developing the Company’s professional service capabilities in order to ensure that its solutions can be fully implemented in its customers’ work environments, with minimal demand on customers’ internal resources.

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, total revenue increased 4% to $3,634,000, compared with $3,502,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. Loss from operations for the three months ended April 30, 2019 was $964,000, compared to $950,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. For the three months ended April 30, 2019, net loss was $1,132,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1,024,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same period in fiscal year 2018.

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, total revenue increased 4% to $7,290,000, compared with $7,015,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. Loss from operations for the six months ended April 30, 2019 was $1,730,000, compared to $2,051,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, net loss was $2,066,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2,191,000, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the same period in fiscal year 2018.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Management concentrates its efforts on the sale of business intelligence, predictive analytics, and decision support product applications, utilizing data primarily derived from the PASSUR Network. Such efforts include the continued development of existing products, new product offerings and to a lesser extent, professional services.

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, total revenues increased by $132,000, or 4%, to $3,634,000, as compared with $3,502,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue of $191,000, or 6%, which was offset by a decrease in consulting revenue of $59,000 to $54,000, as compared with the same period in the prior year.
17

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, total revenues increased by $275,000, or 4%, to $7,290,000, as compared with $7,015,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue of $282,000, or 4%, as compared with the same period in the prior year.

The increase in subscription revenue for both the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 was primarily due to (i) a new contract for subscription services closed during fiscal year 2019 and (ii) net incremental revenue recognized during the periods in fiscal 2019 related to new contracts closed during fiscal year 2018. These increases were offset by expired contracts during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company continues to enhance its wide selection of products and develop and deploy new software applications and solutions to better address customers’ needs, all of which are easily delivered through web-based applications or as stand-alone professional services.

Cost of Revenues

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR and SMLAT Network Systems, amortization of capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR and SMLAT Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR and SMLAT Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR and SMLAT System units added to the PASSUR Network, which includes the production, shipment, and installation of these assets (currently largely installed by unaffiliated outside contractors), which are capitalized to the PASSUR Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development and data center projects; and (3) data center projects, (all referred to  as “Capitalized Assets”). The labor and fringe benefit costs of Company employees involved in creating Capitalized Assets are capitalized, rather than expensed, and amortized, usually over five or seven years, as determined by their projected useful life. The Company does not break down its costs by product.

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, cost of revenues increased $10,000, or 1%, to $2,036,000, as compared with the same period in fiscal year 2018. The increase in cost of revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year, was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization expense associated with previously capitalized software projects which were placed into service during the current period.

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, cost of revenues decreased $197,000, or 5%, to $4,069,000, as compared with the same period in fiscal year 2018. The decrease in cost of revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year, was primarily attributable to a net decrease in personnel related cost of $250,000 due to the outsourcing of some of our software development activities. This decrease in cost of revenues was offset by an increase in amortization expenses associated with our capitalized software projects of $12,000, and net increases in other accounts within cost of revenues as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

Finally, as we continue to release product enhancements/new versions to our existing product offerings, and new product offerings, our amortization expenses associated with the historical software capitalization is anticipated to increase. As a result, we anticipate that our software capitalization and amortization expense, when netted, will not have a significant impact on our financial results.

Research and Development

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, research and development expenses decreased $10,000, or 7%, to $139,000, as compared to $149,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related costs allocated to cost of revenues from research and development as compared to prior year.

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, research and development expenses decreased $21,000, or 7%, to $283,000, as compared to $304,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related costs allocated to cost of revenues from research and development as compared to prior year.

The Company’s research and development efforts include activities associated with new product development, as well as the enhancement and improvement of the Company's existing software and information products. The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in its software portfolio to develop, maintain, and support existing and newly developed applications for its customers.

Selling, General, and Administrative

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $146,000, or 6%, to $2,422,000, as compared to $2,276,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended April 30, 2019 was primarily due to (i) an increase in professional and consulting expenses of $130,000 and (ii) net increase in miscellaneous other accounts within selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $171,000, or 4%, to $4,668,000, as compared to $4,497,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2018. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense for the six months ended April 30, 2019, was primarily due to an increase in professional and consulting expenses of $226,000. This increase was offset by (i) a decrease in depreciation expenses of approximately $39,000 and (ii) net decrease in miscellaneous other accounts within selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

Loss from Operations

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, loss from operations increased $14,000 to $964,000, as compared with the same period in fiscal year 2018.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $146,000, or 3%, offset by an increase in revenue of $132,000, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, loss from operations decreased $321,000 to $1,730,000, as compared with the same period in fiscal year 2018. The decrease was primarily due to (i) an increase in revenue of $275,000 or 4% and (ii) a decrease in operating expenses of $46,000 or 1%, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

Interest Expense – Related Party

Interest expense – related party increased $98,000, or 139%, and $200,000, or 147%, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2018, due to the higher principal balance outstanding on the note in fiscal year 2019 and the interest rate increase on the outstanding note, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $1,132,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to a net loss of $1,024,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the same period in 2018. The Company had a net loss of $2,066,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the six months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to a net loss of $2,191,000, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities, excluding deferred revenue, by $104,000 as of April 30, 2019. The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $1,934,000 as of April 30, 2019.

On January 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Fifth Debt Extension Agreement with G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s Chairman and significant stockholder, effective January 28, 2019, pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Gilbert agreed to modify certain terms and conditions of the debt agreement with Mr. Gilbert (the “Past Gilbert Note”). The maturity date of the Past Gilbert Note was November 1, 2019. The outstanding principal amount under the Past Gilbert Note was $6,050,000 as of October 31, 2018, and the total amount of principal and interest due and owing as of January 28, 2019 under the Past Gilbert Note was $7,122,000. Pursuant to the Fifth Debt Extension Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Gilbert a new debt agreement, which has a principal amount of $6,960,000 (the “Gilbert Note”), in exchange for the Past Gilbert Note and agreed to pay Mr. Gilbert $162,000 of interest which accrued under the Past Gilbert Note during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, at the time and on the terms set forth in the Past Gilbert Note. The Gilbert Note bears a maturity date of November 1, 2020, with an annual interest rate of 9 3/4%. Interest payments are due on October 31st of each fiscal year. The Gilbert Note is secured by the Company’s assets.
19

During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Company paid interest incurred on the Gilbert Note totaling $336,000. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, and prior to January 28, 2019, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $910,000 (which amount is included in the outstanding principal amount of $6,960,000 under the Gilbert Note).

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital deficiency by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR Network 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 the continued development of its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company’s customer-base and subscription-based revenues. However, there are no assurances that such growth will be achieved.

If the Company’s business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing on commercially reasonable terms. However, the Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated June 11, 2019, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 11, 2020, Mr. Gilbert will provide the Company with the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,328,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, and consisted of a net loss of $2,066,000, depreciation and amortization of $1,714,000, stock-based compensation expense of $319,000, and deferred revenue of $1,398,000, with the balance consisting of a decrease in accounts receivables and other assets and a net decrease in account payable, accrued expense, and operating liabilities, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,462,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, which was expended for software development costs and additions to the PASSUR Network. Net cash provided by financing activities was $910,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, and consisted of proceeds from note payable – related party.  Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $585,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

The Company actively monitors the costs associated with supporting the business, and continually seeks to identify and reduce any unnecessary costs as part of its cost reduction initiatives, while strategically reinvesting back into the business as part of its long-term plans. Additionally, the aviation market has been impacted by budgetary constraints, airline bankruptcies and consolidations, current economic conditions, the continued war on terrorism, and fluctuations in fuel costs. The aviation market is extensively regulated by government agencies, particularly the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, and management anticipates that new regulations relating to air travel may continue to be issued. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from airlines, airports, and organizations that serve, or are served by, the aviation industry. Any new regulations or changes in the economic situation of the aviation industry could have an impact on the future operations of the Company, either positively or negatively.

Interest by potential customers in the Company’s information and decision support software products obtained from the PASSUR Network Systems and other sources and its professional services remains strong. As a result, the Company believes that future revenues will increase on an annualized basis. However, there are no guarantees that such annualized future revenue increases will occur. If revenues do not increase and the Company’s cost-structure is not adjusted accordingly, losses may occur. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved and the Company’s ability to optimize its cost structures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities based upon accounting policies management has implemented. These significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. The Company had a change to its Revenue Recognition policy, as described below. These policies and estimates are critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, as such policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions.
20

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Topic 606, The Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled.

The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription-based, real-time decision and solution information and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
   
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
   
Determination of transaction price;
   
Allocation of transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
   
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognized revenue during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, of $3,634,000 and $7,290,000, respectively, under Topic 606, which was not materially different from what would have been recognized under Topic 605. The Company recorded an addition to opening accumulated deficit and a reduction to deferred revenue of approximately $66,000, respectively, as of November 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606.

Subscription services revenue

Subscription services revenue is comprised of cloud-based subscription fees that provide the customer the right to access the Company’s software and receive support and updates, if any, for a period of time. The Company has determined such access represents a stand-ready service provided continually throughout the contract term. As such, control and satisfaction of this stand-ready performance obligation is deemed to occur over time. The Company’s subscription contracts include a fixed amount of consideration that is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable contract term, beginning on the date that access is made available to the customer. The passage of time is deemed to be the most faithful depiction of the transfer of control of the services as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company’s performance. Subscription contracts are generally one to three years in length, billed either, monthly, quarterly or annually, typically in advance, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. The Company’s subscription contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days. There is no significant variable consideration related to these arrangements. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.

Professional services revenue

Professional services primarily consist of value assessments and customer training services. Payment for professional services is generally a fixed fee or a fee based on time and materials. The obligation to provide professional services is generally satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. For professional services, revenue is recognized by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours, and as a practical expedient, progress for services that are contracted for time and materials is generally based on the amount the Company has the right to invoice. Professional services contracts are generally one year or less in length, billed either in advance, upon pre-defined milestones or as services are rendered which coincides with the terms of agreement. The Company’s professional service contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days.
21

Material rights

Contracts with customers may include material rights which are also performance obligations. Material rights primarily arise when the contract gives the customer the right to renew subscription services at a discounted price in the future. This may occur from time to time when the Company’s contracts provide an implicit discount as the customer pays a nonrefundable up-front fee in connection with the initial services contract that it does not have to pay again in order to renew the service. These non-refundable up-front fees are not related to any promised service that the customer benefits other than providing access to the subscription service.  Revenue allocated to material rights is recognized when the customer exercises the right over the estimated renewal period of five years or when the right expires. If exercised by the customer, the amount previously deferred for the material right is included in the transaction price of the renewal contract and allocated to the services included in that contract. If expired, revenue is recognized as subscription services revenue in the period the right expired. If the up-front fees do not provide the customer with a material right, then the amount is included in the transaction price of the initial services contract and allocated to the performance obligations in that contract.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple distinct performance obligations. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis.  The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. The Company maximizes the use of directly observable transactions to determine the standalone selling prices for its performance obligations. For subscription services, the Company separately determines the standalone selling prices by type of solution and customer demographics. For professional services, the Company separately determines standalone selling price by type of service.

Other policies and judgments

The commissions that the Company pays for obtaining a contract with a customer are conditional on future service provided by the employee. Therefore, since these costs are not incremental solely based on obtaining a contract, the Company does not defer any commission costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

On November 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of applying the standard to all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged following adoption of Topic 606 and therefore the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on revenues. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the accounting for nonrefundable up-front fees. The Company recognized revenue during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, of $3,634,000 and $7,290,000, respectively, under Topic 606, which was not materially different from what would have been recognized under Topic 605. The Company recorded an addition to opening accumulated deficit and a reduction to deferred revenue of approximately $66,000, respectively, as of November 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation: Topic 718” — Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), to clarify when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new standard, modification is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of an award as equity or liability changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended January 31, 2019, using the prospective method, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the ASC and creates Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company's preliminary analysis indicates that the Company will recognize a liability for remaining lease payments and a right-of-use asset related to the Company's operating lease covering its corporate office facility that expires in June 2023 and other office locations. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the Company's financial statements.
