NOTE 1 -
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements
and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required
by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all necessary adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) have been included to make the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 and its results
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 not misleading. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any full year or any other interim
period.
The Company has evaluated events which have occurred subsequent
to March 31, 2016, and through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC, and has determined that
no subsequent events have occurred after the current reporting period.
NOTE 2 –
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $756,398
and a working capital surplus of $2,213,122. We generated revenue from continuing operations of $2,967,080 and had net income from
continuing operations before taxes of $365,866 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31,
2016, cash flows included net cash provided by operating activities of $418,587, net cash used in investing activities of $8,175,
and net cash used in financing activities of $68,675.
On May 17, 2013, we entered into a loan agreement with PNC Bank
(the “PNC Loan Agreement”). The PNC Loan Agreement contained three components: (i) a $2,500,000 non-revolving acquisition
line of credit (the “PNC Acquisition Line”); (ii) a $1,150,000 working capital line (the “PNC Working Capital
Line”); and (iii) a $280,920 term loan (the “PNC Term Loan”).
Proceeds of the PNC Acquisition Line were able to be dispersed,
based on parameters defined in the PNC Loan Agreement, until May 17, 2014 (the “Conversion Date”). As of the Conversion
Date, there was $1,350,000 outstanding under the PNC Acquisition Line. The payment terms provided that 30 days following the Conversion
Date, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, we are required to make equal payments of principal over a 60 month
period. Interest on the outstanding principal continues to accrue at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points (3.18%
as of March 31, 2016). An unused commitment fee had been applied at a rate of 1.5% on the unused portion of the PNC Acquisition
Line and was charged for each fiscal quarter through the Conversion Date. As of March 31, 2016, there was $855,000 outstanding
under the PNC Acquisition Line.
The PNC Working Capital was to have been dispersed for working
capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on outstanding principal accrued at a rate equal to daily LIBOR plus 250 basis
points. The PNC Working Capital Line expired on December 31, 2015, with $0 outstanding.
The PNC Term Loan was utilized to retire our previously outstanding
miscellaneous debt of the same amount. Interest on outstanding principal accrued at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis
points and principal and interest payments were to be made over a thirty-four month period. At December 31, 2015, all amounts under
the PNC Term loan have been repaid.
The Company is party to a concession agreement, dated as of
November 1, 2008, with the City of New York for the operation of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (the “Concession Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement, the Company must pay the greater of 18% of the first $5,000,000 in program year
gross receipts and 25% of gross receipts in excess of $5 million or minimum annual guaranteed payments. The Company paid the City
of New York $1,200,000 in the first year of the term and minimum payments were scheduled to increase to approximately $1,700,000
in the final year of Concession Agreement, which now expires on April 30, 2021, in accordance with an agreement (the “Agreement”)
between the Company and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”). In addition to the extended
base term, the City of New York has two one year options to further extend the Concession Agreement. The Agreement also calls for
certain reductions in air tour activity at the Heliport as well as reductions to the Company’s minimum annual guaranteed
payments, which are further detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred
approximately $478,000 and $403,000, respectively, in concession fees which are recorded in the cost of revenue.
The air tour reductions articulated in the Agreement will negatively
impact the Company’s business and financial results as well as those of the Company’s management company at the Heliport,
Empire Aviation which, as previously disclosed, is owned by the children of Alvin Trenk, our CEO and a member of our Board of Directors.
The Company incurred management fees with Empire Aviation of approximately $710,000 and $394,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is recorded in administrative expenses. The Company and Empire have also contributed
to the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council (“HTJC”), an association that lobbies on behalf of the helicopter air tour
industry, and which had engaged in discussions with the Mayor’s office. Mr. Trenk is also an active participant with
HJTC, which is managed by his grandson.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC (“FFH”), our FBO at Garden City (Kansas)
Regional Airport (“FBOGC”) and Phoenix Rising Aviation, Inc. (“PRA”), see Note 5, Discontinued Operations.
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to
conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications affected the Company’s net (loss) income in any period.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income (loss) was $186,366 and $(136,592) for the three
months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Basic net income per share applicable to common stockholders is computed based
on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted
net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options and warrants, are excluded
from the calculation of the diluted income per share when their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common stock during the period.
The following table sets forth the components used in the computation
of basic net income per share:

(1) Potential common shares of 1,900,000 were excluded from
the computation of diluted shares as their exercise prices were greater than the average closing price of the common stock during
the period.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards are based on the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period
of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred
stock-based compensation costs of $8,500. Such amounts have been recorded as part of the Company’s selling, general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2016, the unamortized fair value
of the options totaled $16,000.
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected life of the option. In management's opinion, the use of such option valuation models does not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Management holds
this view partly because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options and also because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.
2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360) – Reporting
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (ASU 2014-08) which requires entities to
change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and International Accounting
Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations so as not to be overly complex or difficult to
apply to stakeholders. Only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have)
a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial
statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. ASU
2014-08 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2015. Based on the
Company’s evaluation of ASU 2014-08, the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2015 has not had a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 -
