PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements January 31, 2010 (Unaudited) 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company", "PASSUR(R)", "we", or "our") is a business intelligence company which develops predictive analytics built on proprietary algorithms and on concurrent integration and simultaneous mining of multiple databases. The Company believes it is positioned to provide the industry standard in business intelligence dashboards and predictive analytics for aviation organizations. The Company's principal business is to provide business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions which save money and make available mission critical information for aviation organizations. These analytics are derived from its proprietary PASSUR(R) Network of live flight information, updated every 4.6 seconds, and include decision support software, predictive analytics, and web-delivered collaborative decision solutions enhanced by professional services, provided by industry experts. PASSUR(R) serves most major airlines (including six of the top seven North American airlines, as well as, the top five hub airlines), over fifty airport customers (including ten of the top fifteen North American airports), and more than two hundred corporate aviation customers. The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers millions of dollars by providing "Predict and Proactively Act" solutions. The PASSUR(R) system simultaneously scans, correlates, and mines information from its proprietary private passive radar system together with multiple additional government and private databases - enabling problems, trends, and patterns of behavior in flight operations to be identified before they happen. The PASSUR(R) Network includes one hundred and thirty Company-owned passive radars located primarily in North America, with one located at each of the top thirty-five U.S. airports. Other PASSUR(R)s are located in Europe and Asia. Flight tracks are updated every 4.6 seconds, thereby providing a system which is user-friendly and useful for decision making. -6-
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial information contained in this Form 10-Q represents condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include all footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such footnote information was included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); the consolidated financial data included herein should be read in conjunction with that report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at January 31, 2010, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009. Subsequent events were evaluated through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC. Management is addressing the Company's working capital and stockholders' deficiencies by aggressively marketing the Company's PASSUR(R) information capabilities in its existing product lines, as well as in new products, which are continually being developed and deployed. The Company intends to increase the size and related airspace coverage of its owned "PASSUR(R) Network," by continuing to install PASSUR(R) Systems throughout the United States and certain foreign countries. In addition, management believes that expanding its existing software suite of products, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company's customer base and subscription-based revenues. Additionally, if the Company's business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company's operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the Company has a commitment to receive the necessary continuing financial support to meet its obligations from its significant shareholder and Chairman through March 8, 2011. Such continuing financial support may be in the form of additional loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the outstanding loans, if deemed necessary. The results of operations for the interim period stated above are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be recorded for the full fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. Certain financial information in the footnotes have been rounded to the nearest thousand for presentation purposes. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. -7-
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 985-605 (SOP 97-2, "SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION"), as amended. ASC 985-605 delineates the accounting practices for software products, maintenance, and support services and consulting revenue. Under ASC 985-605, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For arrangements involving multiple elements (e.g. maintenance, support, and other services), the Company allocates revenue to each element of the arrangement based on vendor-specific objective evidence of its fair value, or for products not being sold separately, the objective and verifiable fair value established by management. The Company recognizes service and maintenance revenues on a straight-line basis over the service contract period. Revenues for data subscription services are recognized on a monthly basis upon the execution of an agreement and the customer's receipt of the data. The Company recognizes license fee revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which typically does not exceed five years. The Company recognizes initial set up fee revenues and associated costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company uses installment license and/or maintenance agreements as part of its standard business practice. The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due under the original payment terms, without making concessions on payments, software products, maintenance, or other services. Net accounts receivable are composed of either the monthly, quarterly, or annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective customer's agreement. These account receivable balances include unearned revenue attributable to deferred subscription revenues, deferred maintenance revenues, and unamortized license fee revenues. Deferred revenue amounts represent fees billed prior to actual performance of services, which will be recognized as revenue over the respective license agreement term, which typically does not exceed five years. Accounts receivable balances also include initial set up fees billed when the service is performed and revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years. As of January 31, 2010, the provision for doubtful accounts was approximately $42,000, compared to $43,000, recorded as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the $42,000 provision is reasonable. COST OF REVENUES The Company has not segregated its cost of revenues between cost of system revenues and cost of subscription and maintenance revenues, as it is not practicable to segregate such costs. Costs associated with system revenues consist primarily of purchased materials, direct labor, and overhead costs. Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR(R) Network assets, amortization of software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, and allocated overhead costs. Also included in costs of revenues are costs associated with the upgrades of PASSUR(R) Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR(R) Network Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR(R) Network units added, which include the production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR(R) Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development programs which are expensed in cost of revenues. -8-
PASSUR(R) NETWORK The PASSUR(R) Network installations, which include the direct and indirect production and installation costs incurred for each of the Company-owned PASSUR(R) Systems (the "PASSUR(R) Network"), are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to cost of revenues and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at seven years. Units that are not placed into service are not depreciated until they are placed in service. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 985-20 (SFAS 86, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED, OR OTHERWISE MARKETED.") Costs incurred to develop computer software products as well as significant enhancements to software features of the existing products to be sold or otherwise marketed, are capitalized, after technological feasibility is established and ending when the product is available for release to customers. Once the software products become available for general release to the public, the Company begins to amortize such costs to cost of revenues. Amortization of capitalized software costs is provided on a product-by-product basis based on the greater of the ratio of current gross revenues to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product beginning at the point the product becomes available for general release, typically over five years. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available for general release are charged to expense as incurred. Costs incurred to enhance products are capitalized. The assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires the exercise of judgment by management. In the opinion of management, all such costs capitalized as of January 31, 2010 are recoverable through anticipated future sales of such applicable products. DEFERRED INCOME Deferred income includes advances received on subscription services and/or maintenance agreements, which are derived from the Company's PASSUR(R) Network and which may be prepaid either annually or quarterly, as well as the unamortized portion of one-time payments received for license fees relating to Company software applications. Revenues from subscription and maintenance services are recognized as income ratably over the subscription and/or maintenance period that coincides with the respective agreement. The Company recognizes license fee revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which typically does not exceed five years. The Company recognizes initial set up fee revenues and associated costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the revised life. -9-
NET INCOME PER SHARE INFORMATION Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. Shares used to calculate net income per share are as follows: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2010 2009 --------- --------- Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 4,415,524 4,146,448 Effect of dilutive stock options 893,645 1,180,992 --------- --------- Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 5,309,169 5,327,440 ========= ========= Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding Weighted-average shares which are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their impact is anti-dilutive Stock options 510,855 604,508 ========= ========= STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company follows FASB ASC 718 (SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payments") which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. For the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, stock compensation expense of $20,000 and $34,000, respectively, was primarily charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The recorded amounts of the Company's cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values principally because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not practicable to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company's related party debt is held by its Chairman and significant shareholder, and the Company does not have any third-party debt with which to compare. Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairments. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) -- Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements" (ASU 2009-13) and ASU 2009-14, "Software (Topic 985) -- Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements" (ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-13 modifies the requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. ASU 2009-14 modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product's essential functionality. These new updates become effective on a prospective basis for the Company's fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of adopting these updates. -10-
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Effective November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new agreement, renewing and extending the term of the $13,814,880 note due to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company's significant shareholder and Chairman, from one year to three years, resulting in an increase in the interest rate from 4.5% to 9% as of February 1, 2009. During fiscal 2009, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $100,000, bringing the principal amount of notes due to Mr. Gilbert to $13,914,880 on October 31, 2009 with a maturity of November 1, 2011. Interest remained at the annual rate of 4.5% from November 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009, payable in cash. Effective February 1, 2009 through October 31, 2011, the interest rate was increased to 9% and is payable as follows: interest at the annual rate of 6% will be payable in cash with the remaining interest, at the annual rate of 3%, payable at the option of the Company in cash or "paid in kind" and added to the principal of the note. Annual interest payments are due at October 31 of each fiscal year. During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the interest payment due to Mr. Gilbert on October 31, 2009 to December 31, 2009. This interest payment was paid in full by the Company prior to the extended payment date. Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $900,000 to fund part of this interest payment, bringing the loan balance to $14,814,880 as of December 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010. During fiscal 2008, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $1,200,000, which brought the principal amount of the note due to Mr. Gilbert to $13,814,880 as of October 31, 2008. The Company has a commitment from Mr. Gilbert that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through March 8, 2011, Mr. Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The notes are secured by the Company's assets. -11-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including, without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and "Liquidity and Capital Resources", below) contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the Company's future plans, objectives, and expected performance. The words "believe," "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "objective," "seek," "strive," "might," "likely result," "build," "grow," "plan," "goal," "expand," "position," or similar words, or the negatives of these words, or similar terminology, identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements referred to above. These factors include, among others, the uncertainties related to the ability of the Company to sell data subscriptions from its PASSUR(R) Network and to make new sales of its PASSUR(R) and other product lines (due to potential competitive pressure from other companies or other products), as well as the current uncertainty in the aviation industry due to terrorist events, the war on terror, increased fuel costs, and airline bankruptcies and consolidations and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic report filings with the SEC. Other uncertainties which could impact the Company are uncertainties with respect to future changes in governmental regulation and the impact that such changes in regulation will have on the Company's business. Additional uncertainties are related to: a) the Company's ability to find and maintain the personnel necessary to sell, manufacture, and service its products; b) its ability to adequately protect its intellectual property; c) its ability to secure future financing; and d) its ability to maintain the continued support of its significant shareholder. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made and which reflect management's analysis, judgments, belief, or expectation only as of such date. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

PASSUR(R) serves most major airlines (including six of the top seven North American airlines, as well as, the top five hub airlines), over fifty airport customers (including ten of the top fifteen North American airports), and more than two hundred corporate aviation customers. The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers millions of dollars by providing "Predict and Proactively Act" solutions. The PASSUR(R) system simultaneously scans, correlates, and mines information from its proprietary private passive radar system together with multiple additional government and private databases - enabling problems, trends, and patterns of behavior in flight operations to be identified before they happen. The PASSUR(R) Network includes one hundred and thirty Company-owned passive radars located primarily in North America, with one located at each of the top thirty-five U.S. airports. Other PASSUR(R)s are located in Europe and Asia. Flight tracks are updated every 4.6 seconds, thereby providing a system which is user-friendly and useful for decision making. -12-
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2010 increased by approximately $247,000, or 12%, to approximately $2,323,000 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to the continued development and deployment of new software applications and solutions, as well as the wide selection of products which address customers' needs, easily delivered through web-based applications. These efforts resulted in new customers subscribing to the Company's suite of software applications, as well as higher subscriptions from some of its existing customers. Management concentrates its efforts on the sale of business intelligence, predictive analytics, and decision support product applications, utilizing data primarily derived from the PASSUR(R) Network. Such efforts include the continued development of new product applications, as well as enhancements and maintenance of existing applications. As a result, for the three months ended January 31, 2010, subscription-based revenues increased approximately $277,000, or 14%, compared to the period in fiscal 2009. The Company's business plan is to continue to focus on increasing subscription-based revenues from its suite of software applications, and to develop new applications designed to address the needs of the aviation industry. The Company shipped eight and installed six Company-owned PASSUR(R) Systems during the three months ended January 31, 2010 (installations include systems shipped in the current and the previous fiscal year). The shipped and installed PASSUR(R) Systems were capitalized as part of the Company owned "PASSUR(R) Network." The Company will continue to expand the PASSUR(R) Network by shipping and installing additional PASSUR(R) Systems throughout fiscal 2010. Management anticipates that future PASSUR(R) sites will provide increased coverage for the PASSUR(R) Network by increasing the Company's ability to contract with new customers at such locations and by providing existing customers with additional data solutions. The Company will continue to market the business intelligence, predictive analytics, as well as decision support applications and solutions derived from the PASSUR(R) Network, directly to the aviation industry and organizations that serve, or are served by, the aviation industry. There were one hundred and thirty Company-owned PASSUR(R) Systems located at various airports worldwide as of January 31, 2010. COST OF REVENUES Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR(R) Network assets, amortization of software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, and allocated overhead costs. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with the upgrades of PASSUR(R) Systems necessary to make older systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing network systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR(R) units produced, upgraded, shipped, and installed during the year which are added to the PASSUR(R) Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred to as "Capitalized Assets", and are depreciated and/or amortized over their respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues. For the three months ended January 31, 2010, cost of revenues increased by approximately $277,000 or 41%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to increases in communication costs, payroll and related costs, one-time fees, depreciation, data feeds, and consulting fees. No PASSUR(R) Systems were manufactured during the three months ended January 31, 2010. The increase was partially offset by an increase in the number of PASSUR(R) Systems that were shipped and installed, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, as well as an increase in the capitalization of software development costs. -13-
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT For the three months ended January 31, 2010, research and development expenses remained consistent compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. The Company's research and development efforts include activities associated with the enhancement, maintenance, and improvement of the Company's existing hardware, software, and information products. The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in research and development to develop, maintain, and support the existing and newly developed applications for its PASSUR(R) customers. There were no customer sponsored research and development activities during the three months ended January 31, 2010. Research and development expenses are funded by current operations. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE For the three months ended January 31, 2010, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $175,000, or 16%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales and marketing payroll, partially offset by an increase in consulting fees. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS For the three months ended January 31, 2010, revenues of approximately $2,323,000, exceeded costs and expenses of approximately $1,934,000, and resulted in income from operations of approximately $389,000. For the three months ended January 31, 2010, total revenues increased by approximately $247,000, or 12%, total costs and expenses increased by approximately $101,000, or 6%, and income from operations increased by approximately $146,000, or 60%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. OTHER EXPENSE Refinancing and extending the maturity of the Company's debt at a higher interest rate, as well as a higher principal balance, resulted in an increase in interest expense-related party of approximately $185,000, or 116%, for the three months ended January 31, 2010, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. The interest rate charged by the related party increased from 4.5% to 9%, as of February 1, 2009. The principal balance of the note as of January 31, 2010 was $1,000,000 higher as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. NET INCOME The Company earned net income of approximately $25,000, or $.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended January 31, 2010, as compared to net income of approximately $76,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2009. For the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company's income from operations was higher compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, but this increase was more than offset by higher interest costs to a related party, resulting in lower net income compared to the prior fiscal year. -14-
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At January 31, 2010, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $1,154,000. The notes payable to a related party of $14,814,880 are due November 1, 2011. At January 31, 2010, the Company's stockholders' deficit was approximately $5,790,000. For the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company had net income of approximately $25,000. Management is addressing the Company's working capital and stockholders' deficiencies by aggressively marketing the Company's PASSUR(R) information capabilities in its existing product lines, as well as in new products, which are continually being developed and deployed. The Company intends to increase the size and related airspace coverage of its owned "PASSUR(R) Network," by continuing to install PASSUR(R) Systems throughout the United States and certain foreign countries. In addition, management believes that expanding its existing software suite of products, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company's customer base and subscription-based revenues. Additionally, if the Company's business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company's operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the Company has a commitment to receive the necessary continuing financial support to meet its obligations from its significant shareholder and Chairman through March 8, 2011. Such continuing financial support may be in the form of additional loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the outstanding loans, if deemed necessary. Effective November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new agreement, renewing and extending the term of the $13,814,880 note due to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company's significant shareholder and Chairman, from one year to three years, resulting in an increase in the interest rate from 4.5% to 9% as of February 1, 2009. During fiscal 2009, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $100,000, bringing the principal amount of notes due to Mr. Gilbert to $13,914,880 on October 31, 2009 with a maturity of November 1, 2011. Interest remained at the annual rate of 4.5% from November 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009, payable in cash. Effective February 1, 2009 through October 31, 2011, the interest rate was increased to 9% and is payable as follows: interest at the annual rate of 6% will be payable in cash with the remaining interest, at the annual rate of 3%, payable at the option of the Company in cash or "paid in kind" and added to the principal of the note. Annual interest payments are due at October 31 of each fiscal year. During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the interest payment due to Mr. Gilbert on October 31, 2009 to December 31, 2009. This interest payment was paid in full by the Company prior to the extended payment date. Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $900,000 to fund part of this interest payment, bringing the loan balance to $14,814,880 as of December 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010. During fiscal 2008, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $1,200,000, which brought the principal amount of the note due to Mr. Gilbert to $13,814,880 as of October 31, 2008. The Company has a commitment from Mr. Gilbert that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through March 8, 2011, Mr. Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The notes are secured by the Company's assets. Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was due primarily to an increase of approximately $779,000 of accrued interest-related party, which more than offset approximately $470,000 non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization, and approximately $25,000 net income. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $570,000 and consisted of investments in the Company's PASSUR(R) Network, capitalized software development costs, and capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $1,007,000 and consisted of $900,000 from notes payable-related party, and approximately $107,000 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. No principal payments on notes payable-related party were made during three months ended January 31, 2010. -15-
Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $1,452,000, primarily due to increases of approximately $1,713,000 non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization, approximately $104,000 net income, and approximately $140,000 other operating activities, offset by a decrease of approximately $505,000 accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. Cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $2,306,000 and consisted of investments in the Company's PASSUR(R) Network, capitalized software development costs, and capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $1,129,000 and consisted of $1,000,000 from notes payable-related party, and approximately $129,000 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. No principal payments on notes payable-related party were made during twelve months ended January 31, 2010. The Company was profitable for the three months ended January 31, 2010. To date, the Company's revenue has increased as a result of its subscription-based revenue model. The Company is actively addressing the increasing costs associated with supporting the business, and plans to identify and reduce any unnecessary costs as part of its cost reduction initiatives. Additionally, the aviation market has been impacted by budgetary constraints, airline bankruptcies and consolidations due to the downturn in the current economy, the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the continued war on terrorism, and increased fuel costs. The aviation market is extensively regulated by government agencies, particularly the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, and management anticipates that new regulations relating to air travel may continue to be issued. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from airports, airlines, and organizations that serve, or are served by, the aviation industry. Any new regulations or changes in the economic situation of the aviation industry could have an impact on the future operations of the Company, either positively or negatively. Interest by potential customers in the information and decision support software products obtained from the PASSUR(R) Network remains strong, and the Company anticipates an increase in future revenues. However, the Company cannot predict if such revenues will materialize. If sales do not increase, losses may occur. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved and Company cost reduction initiatives. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS None. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES GENERAL The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities based upon accounting policies management has implemented. These significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and there have been no material changes to such policies since the filing of such Annual Report. These policies and estimates are critical to the Company's business operations and the understanding and evaluation of our financial condition and results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies are discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, where such policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions. -16-
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Not applicable. ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our 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")). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2010. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) within the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. -17-
