NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The accounting policies and procedures employed in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are contained in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2017. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from those financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission for Interim Financial Information. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017 have been included. The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Description of Business

 

Orbital Tracking Corp. (the “Company”) was formerly Great West Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Global Telesat Communications Limited (“GTCL”) and Orbital Satcom Corp. (“Orbital Satcom”) is a provider of satellite based hardware, airtime and related services both in the United States and internationally. The Company’s principal focus is on growing the Company’s existing satellite based hardware, airtime and related services business line and developing the Company’s own tracking devices for use by retail customers worldwide.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, preferred deemed dividend and common stock issued for services.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $427 and $6,720.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is US Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, GTCL, is maintained using the appropriate local currency, (Great British Pound) as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency is included in the statements of operations.

 

  4  

 

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 closing rate at 1.3399 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.30842 US$: GBP and 1.27500 US$: GBP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 closing rate at 1.29820 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.31320 US$: GBP and 1.39353 US$: GBP and for the year ended 2016 closing rate at 1.2345 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.35585 US$ GBP.

 

Global Telesat Communications LTD, (GTCL) represents 67.4% of total company sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and as such, currency rate variances have an impact on results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the net effect on revenues were impacted by the differences in exchange rate from yearly average exchange of 1.39353 to 1.27500. Had the yearly average rate remained, sales for the nine months would have been higher by $287,576. GTCL comparable sales in GBP, its home currency, increased 21% or £425,714, from £2,000,471 to £2,426,185, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to September 30, 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from satellite services when earned, as services are rendered or delivered to customers. Equipment sales revenue is recognized when the equipment is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Only equipment sales are subject to warranty. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant expenses for warranties.

 

The Company’s customers generally purchase a combination of our products and services as part of a multiple element arrangement. The Company’s assessment of which revenue recognition guidance is appropriate to account for each element in an arrangement can involve significant judgment. This assessment has a significant impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement.
   
Delivery has occurred. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery.
   
The fee is fixed or determinable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
   
Collectability is reasonably assured. We assess collectability based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

 

In accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements, based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes that its products and services can be accounted for separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer contract.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include customer contracts purchased and recorded based on the cost to acquire them. These assets are amortized over 10 years. Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Others”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

  1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
  2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
  3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

  5  

 

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When property and equipment are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable input (Level 3) from January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017:

Balance September 30, 2017   $ -     $ -     $ -

The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of the instruments.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

Earnings per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, the Company had net loss, therefore all dilutive securities are excluded.

The following are dilutive common stock equivalents during the period ended:

 

    September 30, 2017     September 30, 2016  
Convertible preferred stock     366,207,379       209,416,215  
Stock options     42,850,000       2,850,000  
Stock warrants   -       5,000  
Total     409,057,379       212,271,215  

 

Related Party Transactions

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. The Company reclassified certain expense accounts to conform to the currents year’s treatment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) .” The amendments to this update supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP, including the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “ Revenue Recognition . ”- The standard was originally set to become effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers; Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, thereby delaying the effective date of the standard to January 1, 2018, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements to be completed by the end of 2017.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,210,745, working capital of approximately $161,768 and net loss of approximately $3,609,339 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and financing. Management intends to attempt to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – ORBITAL TRACKING CORP AND GLOBAL TELESAT COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED SHARE EXCHANGE, REVERSE ACQUISITION AND RECAPITALIZATION

 

On February 19, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Global Telesat Communications Limited, a Private Limited Company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“GTCL”) and all of the holders of the outstanding equity of GTCL (the “GTCL Shareholders”). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement the GTCL Shareholders (7 members) transferred all of the issued and outstanding equity of GTCL to the OTC in exchange for (i) an aggregate of 2,540,000 shares of the common stock of the OTC and 8,746,000 shares of the newly issued Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the OTC with each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into ten shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment of $375,000 and (iii) a one-year promissory note in the amount of $122,536. Such exchange caused GTCL to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and has been treated as a recapitalization of Orbital Tracking Corp. with Global Telesat Communications Limited considered the accounting acquirer, and the financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the registrant. The completion of the Share Exchange resulted in a change of control. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and re-capitalization. The GTCL Shareholders obtained approximately 39% of voting control on the date of Share Exchange. GTCL was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Orbital Tracking Corp. was the acquired company. The consolidated financial statements after the acquisition include the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical results of GTCL and the results of the Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. As part of agreement, OTC shareholders retained 5,383,172 shares of the Common Stock, 20,000 shares of series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 6,666 shares of series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,197,442 shares of series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On January 21, 2014, the Board approved the adoption of a 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other types of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants. Pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan, either the Board or a board committee is authorized to administer the plan, including by determining which eligible participants will receive awards, the number of shares of common stock subject to the awards and the terms and conditions of such awards. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate at the close of business on January 21, 2024. Up to 226,667 shares of common stock are issuable pursuant to awards under the 2014 Plan, as adjusted in a single adjustment for an issuance no later than sixty (60) days following the date of shareholder approval of the Plan in connection with (i) a private placement of the Company’s securities in which the Corporation receives gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000 and (ii) an acquisition of at least 50 mining leases and/or claims in the Holbrook Basin.

The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

NOTE 11– DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

In June 2008 a FASB approved guidance related to the determination of whether a freestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as equity or debt under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock. The adoption of this requirement will affect accounting for convertible instruments and warrants with provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price (“down-round” provisions). Warrants with such provisions are no longer recorded in equity and are reclassified as a liability.

 

Instruments with down-round protection are not considered indexed to a company’s own stock under ASC Topic 815, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.

 

In connection with the issuance of its 6% convertible debentures and related warrants, the Company has determined that the terms of the convertible warrants include down-round provisions under which the exercise price could be affected by future equity offerings. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. On May 17, 2016, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes in the amount of $504,168 originally issued on December 28, 2015 (the “Notes”) pursuant to which the Notes were cancelled and the exchanging holders were issued an aggregate of 10,083,351 shares of newly designated Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon the conversion of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, additional paid in capital increased by $649,662 from the decrease in the Notes payable of $504,168, decrease in derivative liabilities of $146,502 and increase in Series G Convertible Preferred Stock of $1,008.

 

The Notes were accounted for as liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The Company recorded amortization for the discount to the Notes of $0 and $602,515 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company has an unamortized discount balance of $0. The Company has recognized derivative liabilities of $0 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The gain (loss) resulting from the decrease (increase) in fair value of this convertible instrument was $422,974 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has recognized derivative liabilities for related warrants of $0 and $1,237 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of this convertible instrument was $1,237 and $3,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. On May 19, 2017, the related warrant expired.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Revenue. Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted primarily of sales of satellite phones, accessories and airtime plans. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, revenues generated were approximately $1,588,466 compared to approximately $1,299,373 of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase in total revenues of $289,093 or 22.3%. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $4,547,491 compared to approximately $3,783,230 of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $764,261 increase in total revenues or 20.2%. The Company attributes the increases in revenue to an increase in recurring revenue related customer and the introduction of new product lines, offset by exchange rate variances as described above.

 

Cost of Sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, cost of revenues increased to $1,240,654 compared to $1,035,278 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $205,376 or 19.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cost of revenues increased to $3,589,537 compared to $2,935,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $653,906 or 22.3%. Gross profit margins during the three months ended September 30, 2017 were 21.9% as compared to 20.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, gross profit margins were 21.1% as compared to 22.4%. We expect our cost of revenues to continue to increase during fiscal 2017 and beyond, as we expand our operations and begin generating additional revenues under our current business. However, we are unable at this time to estimate the amount of the expected increases. Gross margins reacted negatively with the devaluation of GBP against US$ following the BREXIT vote and in order to remain competitive we had to maintain product pricing. In addition, we attracted new reseller customers who buy in larger quantities at lower margins.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $574,971, an increase of $3,174, or 0.6%, from total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $571,797. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 total operating expenses were $2,226,923, as compared to $2,058,131, for the same period in 2016, an increase of $168,792 or 8.2%. Factors contributing to the increase are described below.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $158,312 and $150,024 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $8,288 or 5.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, selling, general and administrative expenses were $456,935 as compared to $456,881, an increase of $54 or 0.01%. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, was due to lower exchange rates in the current period offset by variable expenses which increase as revenue increases.

 

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes were $178,762 and $158,720, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $20,042, or 12.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, salaries, wages and payroll taxes were $513,349 as compared to $503,556, an increase of $9,793, or 1.9%, for the same period in the prior year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the increase is attributable to an increase in compensation as a result of additional employees, offset by the decrease in the exchange rate.

 

  20  

 

 

Stock based compensation was $0 and $600,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. On May 26, 2017, the Company issued 5,000,000 options to Mr. Phipps, 3,750,000 options to Theresa Carlise and 20,000,000 options to certain employees of the Company. The employees are the adult children of our Chief Executive Officer. All of the options are fully vested and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a term of 10 years.

 

Professional fees were $163,754 and $192,834 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of $29,080, or 15.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, professional fees were $432,320 as compared to $881,318, a decrease of $448,998 or 51.0% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company’s decrease of investor relation fees from the same period in the prior year.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $74,143 and $70,219 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $3,924 or 5.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 depreciation and amortization expenses were $224,319 as compared to $216,375, an increase of $7,944, or 3.7% from the same period in the prior year. For the three and nine months, the increase in depreciation is proportionately related to an increased in website development, which has a shorter useful life and an increase in computer equipment, respectively.

 

We expect our expenses in each of these areas to continue to increase during fiscal 2017 and beyond as we expand our operations and begin generating additional revenues under our current business. However, we are unable at this time to estimate the amount of the expected increases.

 

Total Other (Income) Expense. Our total other (income) expenses were $38,540 compared to $30,970 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, an increase of $7,570. Our total other (income) expenses were $2,340,370 compared to $241,932 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, an increase of $2,098,438. The increase is primarily attributable to the expense of $2,308,981 related to the Series J Preferred stock issuance, for price protection to certain Subscribers of Preferred Series F, Preferred Series G and Preferred Series H. The additional issuance for price protection, while expensed as other expense, also results as an increase to additional paid in capital.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

We recorded net loss before income tax of $265,699, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of $338,672, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We recorded net loss before income tax of $3,609,339, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of $1,452,463, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net loss is a result of the factors as described above.

 

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

 

We recorded a gain for foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, of $18,485 and $19,888, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a gain of $32,926 and $17,513, respectively. The fluctuations of the increase are primarily attributed to the increase recognized due to exchange rate variances.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $268,216. Our working capital is $161,769 at September 30, 2017.

 

Our current assets at September 30, 2017 increased by approximately 80.9% from December 31, 2016 and included cash, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, inventory, prepaid and other current assets.

 

Our current liabilities at September 30, 2017 increased by 78.9% from December 31, 2016 and included our accounts payable, derivative liabilities, due to related party and deferred revenue and other liabilities in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Our recent sources of financing are discussed in more detail under “Recent Transactions,” above. Growing and operating our business will require significant cash outlays, liquidity reserves and capital expenditures and commitments to respond to business challenges, including developing or enhancing new or existing products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

 

Our company has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we have

 

an obligation under a guarantee contract, although we do have obligations under certain sales arrangements including purchase obligations to vendors
   
a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets,
   
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or
   
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified our critical accounting estimates which are discussed below.

 

  22  

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of stock based charges, the valuation of derivatives and the valuation of inventory reserves.

 

Effect of Exchange Rate on Results

 

The Company’s reporting currency is US Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, GTCL, is maintained using the appropriate local currency, Great British Pound, as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 closing rate at 1.30240 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.27779 US$: GBP and 1.25801 US$: GBP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 closing rate at 1.3311 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.43544 US$: GBP and 1.43414 US$: GBP and for the year ended 2016 closing rate at 1.2345 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.35585 US$ GBP.

 

Global Telesat Communications LTD, (GTCL) represents 67.4% of total company sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and as such, currency rate variances have an impact on results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the net effect on revenues were impacted by the differences in exchange rate from yearly average exchange of 1.39353 to 1.27500. Had the yearly average rate remained, sales for the nine months would have been higher by $287,576. GTCL comparable sales in GBP, its home currency, increased 21% or £425,714, from £2,000,471 to £2,426,185, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to September 30, 2016.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission for Interim Financial Information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a written credit policy. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate for the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Receivable balances are reviewed on an aged basis and account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $427 and $6,720.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The Company has consulting arrangements which are typically based upon a fee paid monthly or quarterly. Samples are purchased that are used in testing, and are expensed when purchased. R&D costs also include salaries and related personnel expenses, direct materials, laboratory supplies, equipment expenses and administrative expenses that are allocated to R&D based upon personnel costs.

 

  23  

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is US Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries is maintained using the appropriate local currency, (Great British Pound) GTCL as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 closing rate at 1.3399 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.30842 US$: GBP and 1.27500 US$: GBP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 closing rate at 1.29820 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.31320 US$: GBP and 1.39353 US$: GBP and for the year ended 2016 closing rate at 1.2345 US$: GBP, average rate at 1.35585 US$ GBP.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from satellite services when earned, as services are rendered or delivered to customers. Equipment sales revenue is recognized when the equipment is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Only equipment sales are subject to warranty. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant expenses for warranties.

 

The Company’s customers generally purchase a combination of our products and services as part of a multiple element arrangement. The Company’s assessment of which revenue recognition guidance is appropriate to account for each element in an arrangement can involve significant judgment. This assessment has a significant impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement.
   
Delivery has occurred. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery.
   
The fee is fixed or determinable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
   
Collectability is reasonably assured. We assess collectability based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

 

In accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements, based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes that its products and services can be accounted for separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer contract.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When property and equipment are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:

 

    Years  
Office furniture and fixtures     4  
Computer equipment     4  
Appliques     10  
Website development     2

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable input (Level 3) from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017:

 

    Conversion
feature
derivative
liability
    Warrant
liability
    Total  
Balance at January 1, 2016   $ 614,035     $ 4,356     $ 618,391  
                         
Change in fair value included in earnings     (422,974 )     (3,119 )     (426,093 )
Net effect on additional paid in capital     (191,061 )     -       (191,061 )
Balance at December 31, 2016   $ -     $ 1,237     $ 1,237  
Change in fair value included in earnings     -       (1,237 )     (1,237 )
Balance at September 30, 2017   $ -     $ -     $ -  

 

The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of the instruments.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

Compensation cost relating to share based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

With respect to the nine months ending September 30, 2017, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon our evaluation regarding the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to our limited internal audit functions and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. The Company has been actively addressing the evaluation and is pursuing upgrading its accounting software.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to develop procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
