Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - These interim condensed consolidated statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries AgEagle Aerial, Inc., EnerJex Kansas, Inc., Black Sable Energy, LLC, and Black Raven Energy, Inc., was dissolved effective November 2019. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Such interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

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 reserve for obsolete inventory, valuation of stock issued for services and stock options, useful life of intangible assets and property and equipment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents includes any highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company held no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company’s bank balances at times may exceed the FDIC limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash.

Receivables and Credit Policy

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.

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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Inventories

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. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a provision for obsolescence of $10,000.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for the impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets from acquired businesses are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and consist of customer programs, trademarks, customer relationships, technology and other intangible assets. Customer programs include values assigned to major programs of acquired businesses and represent the aggregate value associated with the customer relationships, contracts, technology and trademarks underlying the associated program and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of expected cash flows used to measure fair value, which ranges from four to five years.

Revenue Recognition and Concentration

Revenue Recognition and Concentration – The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated pursuant to written contractual arrangements to develop, manufacture and/or modify complex drone related products, and to provide associated engineering, technical and other services according to customer specifications. These contracts are at a fixed price and are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, it will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. The Company accounts for a contract after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

The Company generally recognizes revenue on sales to customers, dealers and distributors upon satisfaction of performance obligations which generally occurs once controls transfer to customers, which is when product is shipped or delivered depending on specific shipping terms. Additionally, customers are required to place a deposit or pay upon shipping for each UAV or drone delivery assembly part ordered. Customer payments received in advance of the Company completing performance obligations are recorded as contract liabilities.

Subscription services for use of the Company’s proprietary FarmLens™ and HempOverview platforms t are recognized ratably over the membership period as the services are provided.

Sales concentration information for customers comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales such customers is summarized below:

	Percent of total sales for three months ended March 31,
Customers	2020			2019
Customer A		95.6	%		68.0	%
Customer B		—			29.1	%

Accounts receivables due from Customer A and C comprised all of the accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019.

The table below reflects our revenue for the periods indicated by product mix.

	For the three months ended March 31,
Type	2020		2019
Drone Assembly and Product Sales	$	374,278	$	38,083
Software Platform Sales		17,002		7,910
Total	$	391,280	$	45,993

Vendor Concentration

Vendor Concentration – As of March 31, 2020, there was one significant vendor that the Company relies upon to perform stitching its FarmLens platform. This vendor provides services to the Company which can be replaced by alternative vendors should the need arise.

Shipping Costs

Shipping Costs – Shipping costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $301 and $758, respectively. 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 on the condensed statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. 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

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. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company had 4,531,924 warrants and 2,569,970 options to purchase common stock; and 3,312 shares of Series C Preferred Stock which may be converted into 6,133,333 shares of common stock. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company had 4,531,924 warrants and 1,963,720 options to purchase common stock, and 3,636 shares of Series C Preferred Stock which were convertible into 6,733,333 shares of common stock.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) 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.

Stock-Based Compensation Awards

Stock-Based Compensation Awards – The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using a closed option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the requisite service period of the award which is generally the vesting period and the related amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes forfeitures at the time they occur.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

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. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 effective January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued Account Standards Update 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions whereby lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all 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 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 adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as the Company currently has no leases with a term of more than twelve months.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The update simplifies the process for assessing goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance removes the second step that was previously required. Under this ASU, impairment charges to goodwill are based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value to its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2019 and applied the guidance to the annual impairment test (see Note 5).

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This ASU removes or modifies current disclosures while adding certain new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for the removed or modified disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures can be adopted retrospectively, and the added disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Pending Adoption

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 consolidated financial statements.
