NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Astro Aerospace Ltd. (“Astro” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a developer of self-piloted and autonomous, manned and unmanned, eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing) aerial vehicles. The Company intends to provide the market with a mainstream mode of everyday, aerial transportation for both humans and cargo. Astro currently has a working prototype and is making engineering and mechanical improvements to it.
Astro is the successor corporation to CPSM, Inc., which through its subsidiaries, Custom Pool and Spa Mechanics, Inc. (“Custom Pool and Spa”), and Custom Pool Plastering, Inc. (“CPP”) collectively (“Custom Pool”) were primarily engaged in the provision of full line pool and spa services, specializing in pool maintenance and service, repairs, leak detection, renovations, decking and remodeling. The primary market area included Martin, Palm Beach, St Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties, Florida.
On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited (“MAAB”), the majority stockholder and parent of Astro, acquired control of CPSM, Inc. and on April 30, 2018, Custom Pool was sold to the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the CPSM (See Note 2, “Sale of Common Stock of Majority Stockholders and Resignation and Election of the Board of Directors” and Note 3, “ Sale of Custom Pool”).
On March 24, 2018 the articles of incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company from CPSM, Inc. to Astro Aerospace Ltd. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has one subsidiary, Astro Aerospace Ltd. (Canada), which is incorporated in Canada and is used mainly for refunds of the Goods and Services Tax in Canada.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company had a net loss of $(7,626,599) and used $(1,373,936) cash in operations, and at December 31, 2018, had negative working capital of $(95,862), current assets of $106,976, and an accumulated deficit of $(8,011,802). The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating the Company’s technologies. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company acknowledges that its current cash position is insufficient to maintain the current level of operations and research and development, and that the Company will be required to raise substantial additional capital to continue its operations and fund its future business plans. The Company has continued to raise funds through its parent, MAAB and the outstanding note payable balance was $591,439 and there is $158,561 available under the terms of the note at December 31, 2018. The Company has also raised funds through independent capital sources, of which the Company has a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with an outstanding balance of $701,818 at December 31, 2018. Astro plans to raise additional capital in the private and public securities markets in 2019.

NOTE 2 – SALE OF COMMON STOCK OF MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS AND RESIGNATION AND ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, majority stockholders controlled by Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, sold 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB, a non-affiliate of the Company, paid from Bruce Bent, officer and director of MAAB’s personal funds resulting in a change of control of the Company. The stock was transferred to MAAB effective March 14, 2018. The 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares represented 62.35% and 100% of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company.
On March 14, 2018, Lawrence Calarco, Loreen Calarco and Charles Dargan II resigned as officers and directors of the Company. Additionally, on March 14, 2018, Jeffrey Michel and Randy Sofferman resigned as directors of the Company.
On March 14, 2018, Bruce Bent, age 62, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. He will stand for re-election at the next annual meeting of the shareholders. There are no material arrangements to which Mr. Bent is a party, and there is no family relationship between him and any other party connected to the Company.
NOTE 3 – SALE OF CUSTOM POOL
On April 30, 2018, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 16, 2018, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries, for 13,668,900 common shares of the Company held by the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company. The Board of Directors subsequently authorized the cancellation of those common shares. After said cancellation, the total issued and outstanding common shares was 69,270,060. The Share Exchange Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and written consent of shareholders holding 62.35% of the voting securities of the Company as of April 16, 2018.
The Company determined that there would be no gain or loss on the sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 505-30-10, “Equity – Nonreciprocal Transfers with Owners”. Essentially the transaction is similar to a spin-off or reorganization since the Company acquired shares of its own common stock for the common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries. As such, the transaction is accounted for at the recorded (book value) amount. The book value of the net assets was $876,440.

NOTE 4 – ACQUSITION OF ASSETS FROM CONFIDA AEROSPACE, LTD.
On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Confida Aerospace Ltd. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased in-process research and development (“IPRD”) consisting of inventory, hardware designs, software designs, and a trademark all pertaining to passenger drone design and use from Confida Aerospace Ltd. As consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Confida Aerospace Ltd., 10,000 of the Company’s Series B preferred shares (See, Note 13, “Convertible Preferred Stock”). Each preferred share is convertible into 1,333 common shares and 1,333 warrants. Each warrant is exercisable into one of the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of $.75. The warrants have an exercise period of five years upon conversion. Additionally, the Company assumed $50,000 of debts incurred by Confida Aerospace Ltd. related to drone development.
All of the authorized shares of the Series B Convertible Stock were issued for the assets and $50,000 of accrued liabilities were assumed. The fair market value of the preferred stock was $7,131,214 as determined by an independent third party valuation firm. The fair market value was arrived at using an equivalent conversion into the common stock of Astro, which is trading in the Over-The-Counter Market. Appropriate restrictions and marketability discounts were applied, including using the 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share. The fair value of the common stock equivalent was $3,753,271. As well, the warrants issued in conjunction with the common stock were valued using the Black Scholes Model. The inputs used were a 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share, exercise price of $0.75 per share, a ten year term, a risk free rate of 2.97%, a volatility of 51% and no dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants was $3,377,943.

NOTE 4 – ACQUSITION OF ASSETS FROM CONFIDA AEROSPACE, LTD. (Continued)
The Company determined the fair value of the IPRD based on the fair market value of the consideration paid for the IPRD: 10,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and 1,333 common stock warrants. The drone prototype is in an early development stage and the fair value is not determinable using cash flow projections and such projections were not available. It is anticipated that the drone will be marketable in 2020 and at that time material net cash flows are expected to commence.
Further analysis of the IPRD determined that the recoverability of the fair value carrying amount was not probable and an impairment expense of $6,310,214 was incurred to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to $871,000, which approximates cost.
As well, after the initial 90 day period for the assumption of liabilities, the Company determined that it would most likely only assume $25,000 of liabilities and has adjusted the consolidated financial statements accordingly. As of December 31, 2018, the expenses related to the liabilities had been incurred and the impairment expense was reduced by $25,000 to $6,285,214.
NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP).
Cash
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less or money market accounts held at financial institutions are considered to be cash. Substantially all of the cash is placed with one financial institution. From time to time during the year the cash accounts are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits of $250,000 in the event of non-performance by the institution, however, it is not anticipated that there will be non-performance.

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Intangible Assets – Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Acquired in-process research and development consists of acquired drone technology and engineering and trademarks. The Company reviews the IPRD, which currently has an indefinite useful life, for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs creating the potential for impairment, until such time as the research and development efforts are completed or abandoned. If the research and development efforts are abandoned, the related costs will be written off in the period of such determination. If the research and development efforts are completed successfully, the related assets will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying products. The Company will amortize the cost of identified intangible assets using amortization methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. An impairment expense of $6,285,214 was incurred in the year ended December 31, 2018.
Allowance for uncollectible receivables
Management evaluates credit quality by evaluating the exposure to individual counterparties, and, where warranted, management also considers the credit rating or financial position, operating results and/or payment history of the counterparty. Management establishes an allowance for amounts for which collection is considered doubtful. Adjustments to previous assessments are recognized in income in the period in which they are determined. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for uncollected receivables was $16,653 and $16,181, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company does not currently have any revenue. In discontinued operations, revenue was recognized when the pool service was completed and the collectability was reasonably assured. For pool resurfacing and remediation work, revenue was recognized at the time of completion of the job.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of GAAP which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options and restricted stock issuances based on estimated fair values.
In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of stock-based awards is generally recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in income.

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Warrants
Warrants issued with the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method.
The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative and not qualify for equity treatment, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option model, and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”).
If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note.
The convertible note is recorded at its fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant. Further, the convertible promissory note is examined for any intrinsic beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of which the convertible price of the note is less than the closing common stock price on date of issuance. If the relative fair value method is used to value the convertible promissory note and there is an intrinsic BCF, a further analysis is undertaken of the BCF using an effective conversion price which assumes the conversion price is the relative fair value divided by the number of shares the convertible debt is converted into by its terms. The BCF value is accounted for as equity.
The warrant and BCF relative fair values are also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory notes. As present, these equity features of the convertible promissory notes have recorded a discount to the convertible notes that is substantially equal to the proceeds received.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. Management believes there are no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of December 31, 2018. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Earnings per Share
The Company computes (loss) earnings per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, computed using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and the if converted method for convertible notes and preferred stock. Dilutive (loss) earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2018 due to the net loss during the year. The common stock equivalents are comprised of stock options, convertible promissory notes and the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
Further, the Company has presented its discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations”, which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations and the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share from discontinued operations in addition to the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share.

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The translation of assets and liabilities for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is made at year end exchange rates, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the year transactions occurred.
Fair Value Measurement
Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to the fair values determined by using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the assets based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company has determined the appropriate level of the hierarchy and applied it to its financial assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2018 and 2017 there were no assets or liabilities carried or measured at fair value.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 6 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve 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. The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which we are required to apply for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidelines currently did not impact our revenue presentation.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. Because the current definition of a business is interpreted broadly and can be difficult to apply, stakeholders indicated that analyzing transactions is inefficient and costly and that the definition does not permit the use of reasonable judgment. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting”, to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity should apply the amendments in this update prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” to include share based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment

awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company evaluated the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but it does not have a material impact.
NOTE 7 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, which specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions.
Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures its line of credit, notes payable and loans in accordance with the hierarchy of fair value based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The estimated fair value of the cash, line of credit, notes payable, and loans at December 31, 2018 and 2017, were as follows:

NOTE 9 – 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
On November 21, 2018, the Company issued an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,383,636 in exchange for a total investment of $1,200,000, less commissions and expenses, payable in two tranches. The first tranche is payable upon the closing of the agreement, and the second tranche will be payable within ten (10) business days of the Investor receiving written notice confirming the effectiveness of the initial registration statement. The first tranche principal of $701,818 was issued, with an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $81,818, a $20,000 financing fee for the lender’s transactional expenses that was expensed and the Company received proceeds of $600,000. Each tranche matures 6 months after the issue date.
The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market price in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company is subject to certain penalties if the shares are not issued within two business days of receiving the conversion notice. Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the Investor (the “Security Agreement”), the Company has granted to the Investor a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of the Notes. The Company must reserve an amount of shares equal to 500% of the total amount of shares issuable upon full conversion of the promissory note. The Company has 250,000,000 common shares authorized, of which 180,691,084 are available to be issued as of December 31, 2018, fulfilling this requirement.
As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued 156,250 shares of its common stock to the Investor, valued at $89,531 at the date of issuance, plus warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. Upon the closing of the second tranche investment, a number of additional warrants shall be issued equal to one quarter of the face value of the note divided by the exercise price, which shall be 110% of the volume weighted average price on the day prior to the second closing date (See Note 17, “Subsequent Events”). Each Warrant is exercisable by the Investor beginning on the Effective Date through the fifth year anniversary thereof.
The Note has a beneficial conversion feature which was value, along with the warrants, on a relative fair value method. The warrant fair value (See Note 14, “Warrants”) was $171,121 and the beneficial conversion feature fair value was $523,326 for a total debt discount of $694,447. However, adding the OID and the inducement shares to the debt discount, made final total debt discount $865,796, larger than the principal amount of the Note. Consequently, $163,978 of the debt discount was expensed. Additionally, $108,886 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, bringing the debt discount to $592,932 at December 31, 2018.
NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
On March 14, 2018, 1,500,000 stock options were cancelled and two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with a six month maturity were issued to the former option holders. The principal amount was $25,000 each and there was no prepayment penalty. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s common stock based upon the average of the previous ten trading days’ closing price of the stock, at the maturity date of the Notes. Upon conversion of the notes, Bruce Bent or MAAB had the option to purchase the common stock issued at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock over the previous 10 trading days. The option to purchase was set to expire ten days after the issuance of the common stock. The option was not exercised.

On December 22, 2017, the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017," or the Tax Act, was signed into law. The Tax Act, among other things, reduced the maximum statutory federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of enactment of the Tax Act, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset. This revaluation resulted in an additional benefit to the income tax provision of $8,681 in 2017.

At December 31, 2018, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $654,000 available to offset future taxable income with no expiration. Realization of the deferred tax assets, which relate to operating loss carry-forwards and timing differences, is dependent on future earnings. The timing and amount of future earnings are uncertain and therefore the Company has established a 100% valuation allowance.

NOTE 13 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)
On May 4, 2018, the Board of Directors of Astro Aerospace Ltd. authorized 10,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred is entitled to a dividend, when declared by the Board of Directors, votes with all other classes of stock as a single class of stock on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company, and each share of Preferred is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 1,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

NOTE 14 – WARRANTS
As part of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issuance, the Company issued warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share.

The result was a fair value of $0.5676 per warrant or $195,271 in aggregate. This fair value was reduced with the relative fair value method when including the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible note (See Note 9, “8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note”) to $171,121. The warrant relative fair value was added to additional paid in capital – common stock. Upon funding of the second tranche of the convertible note, additional warrants will be issued equal to one quarter of the face value of the note divided by the exercise price, which shall be 110% of the volume weighted average price on the day prior to the second closing date.
