Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

July 31, 2011

 

(Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Business

 

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”, “PASSUR®”, “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 offers vertical expertise in the aviation market – providing data consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services for aviation operations worldwide.

 

The Company’s principal business is to provide business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions which save money, enhance operational efficiency, increase safety and security, and improve the passenger experience. These analytics are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® Proprietary Surveillance Network (the “PASSUR® 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.

 

The Company serves most major airlines (including five of the top six North American airlines, as well as the top five hub and spoke airlines), approximately fifty airport customers (including twenty-three of the top thirty North American airports), and approximately two hundred corporate aviation customers, as well as the U.S. government, including the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”).

 

The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers costs annually by enabling preemptive decision-making and more effective operational planning. The PASSUR® System simultaneously scans, correlates, and pulls information from the Company’s PASSUR® Network together with multiple additional government and private databases.

 

The PASSUR® Network includes one hundred and fifty-five Company-owned PASSUR® Radar Systems, covering ninety-eight of the top one hundred North American airports. Other PASSUR®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.

 

The Company delivers these tools primarily on “web-dashboards,” – a single page or screen which aggregates many different sets of information into a simplified presentation of performance indicators and exception alerts to support quick decisions and information useful in predicting future situations. Almost all of the PASSUR® solutions have a live or real-time component, and most also include alerts, decision support, collaborative components, immediate playback or review, as well as analysis. The PASSUR® products are protected by multiple patents and patent pending applications.

 

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, 2010, 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 July 31, 2011, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

Page 7
 

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital and stockholders’ deficiencies by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR® Network Systems information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service 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 obtained, the Company has received an unconditional and irrevocable commitment from its significant shareholder and Chairman to receive the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations through September 6, 2012.

 

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, 2011.

 

Certain financial information in the footnotes has 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.

 

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, support services, and professional services 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 performs certain professional services for customers on a subscription basis that have stand-alone value. Such subscription-based professional services are recognized over the subscription period.

 

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.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR® Network Systems, amortization of software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR® Network Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR® Network Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR® Network units added, which include the production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR® 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.

Page 8
 

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. Net accounts receivable is comprised of 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.

 

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.

 

The provision for doubtful accounts was $80,000 and $25,000 as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the provision is reasonable.

 

PASSUR® Network

 

The PASSUR® Network includes PASSUR® Systems and the related software workstations used for the data derived from PASSUR® Systems, as well as costs pertaining to raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods components. PASSUR® Network installations include the direct and indirect production and installation costs incurred for each of the Company-owned PASSUR® Systems. PASSUR® Network assets which are not installed in the PASSUR® Network are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded.

 

Capitalized Software Development 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.”) Capitalized software development costs are comprised of costs incurred to develop and significantly enhance software products to be sold or otherwise marketed. Once technological feasibility is established, and the software product is 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 July 31, 2011 are recoverable through anticipated future sales of such applicable products.

 

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.

Page 9
 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue includes advances received on subscription services and/or maintenance agreements, which are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® 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.

 

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 will be reduced to estimated fair value.

 

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 For the nine months ended
  July 31, July 31,
  2011 2010 2011 2010
         
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 6,945,036 4,590,741 5,463,353 4,517,254
Effect of dilutive stock options 837,572 872,683 799,423 857,045
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 7,782,608 5,463,424 6,262,776 5,374,299
         
Weighted average shares which are not included in        
   the calculation of diluted net income per share        
   because their impact is anti-dilutive        
Stock options 647,928 515,818 686,077 531,454

 

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 stock-based compensation expense 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 an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense was $81,000 and $222,000, and $31,000 and $78,000, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

3. Notes Payable – Related Party

 

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement, renewing and extending the term of the $13,815,000 notes payable due to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, from one year to three years with a maturity of November 1, 2011. Under the agreement, effective February 1, 2009 through October 31, 2011, the interest rate was increased from 4.5% to 9%, payable as follows: interest at the annual rate of 6%, payable in cash, and 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 notes payable. Annual interest payments were 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 due date. During fiscal year 2009, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $100,000, bringing the principal amount of the notes payable due to Mr. Gilbert to $13,915,000 on October 31, 2009.

 

In fiscal year 2010, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company an additional $1,150,000, used in part to fund the prior fiscal year’s interest payment, increasing the principal balance of the notes payable to $15,065,000. During fiscal year 2010, the Company paid fiscal year 2010 interest to Mr. Gilbert of $914,000, representing the entire cash portion of the fiscal year 2010 interest due, thereby meeting the cash payment requirements of the loan agreement. Total cash payments for interest made to Mr. Gilbert in fiscal year 2010 were $2,037,000, including the remaining fiscal year 2009 interest payment. The balance of the fiscal year 2010 interest payable of $446,000 was accrued. In October 2010, the Company made a $250,000 principal payment, reducing the loan principal to $14,815,000, resulting in a total of $15,261,000 due to Mr. Gilbert on October 31, 2010.

 

On May 9, 2011, as a result of the transactions described in Note 4, “Private Placement” below, the Company’s outstanding notes payable to Mr. Gilbert were reduced by $10,000,000, and a new note payable was issued to Mr. Gilbert in the amount of $4,815,000. The new note payable bears a maturity date of November 1, 2014 and the annual interest rate is 9%, payable as follows: interest at the annual rate of 6% will be payable in cash, and 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 payable. Interest payments will be made annually on October 31 of each year. On September 6, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment reducing the annual interest rate of the note payable, as described in Note 5, “Subsequent Event” below.

 

The accrued interest balance on the notes payable was $287,000 as of July 31, 2011, resulting in a total of $5,102,000 due to Mr. Gilbert on July 31, 2011.

 

The Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated September 6, 2011, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through September 6, 2012, 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/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

4. Private Placement

 

On May 9, 2011, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements to sell 1,044,644 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to trading restrictions, in a private placement financing with a select group of accredited investors, including certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company - 687,500 shares of restricted common stock were sold to non-affiliated investors at a price of $4.00 per share and 357,144 shares of restricted common stock were sold to three of the Company’s Directors at a price of $4.20 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $4,250,000.

 

In addition, on the same day, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with Mr. Gilbert, pursuant to which the Company (1) repaid, from the private placement proceeds, $4,250,000 of principal on the outstanding notes payable to Mr. Gilbert and (2) converted $5,750,000 of the principal amount of the notes payable held by Mr. Gilbert into 1,369,048 shares of common stock, subject to trading restrictions. A new note payable was issued to Mr. Gilbert equal to the remaining $4,815,000 principal balance of the existing notes payable following such conversion.

 

The new note payable bears a maturity date of November 1, 2014 and the annual interest rate is 9%, payable as follows: (i) interest at the annual rate of 6% will be payable in cash, and (ii) 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 payable. Interest payments will be made annually on October 31 of each year. On September 6, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment reducing the annual interest rate of the note payable, as described in Note 5, “Subsequent Event” below.

 

5. Subsequent Event

 

On September 6, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the note payable, issued by the Company on May 9, 2011 to Mr. Gilbert. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the interest rate on the note payable was reduced from an annual rate of 9% to an annual rate of 6%, and the Company’s option to pay interest at the annual rate of 3% in cash or “paid in kind” was discontinued. As of September 6, 2011, the note payable bears interest at an annual rate of 6%, payable in cash.

Description of Business

 

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. 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 offers vertical expertise in the aviation market – providing data consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services for aviation operations worldwide.

 

The Company’s principal business is to provide business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions which save money, enhance operational efficiency, increase safety and security, and improve the passenger experience. These analytics are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® Proprietary Surveillance Network (the “PASSUR® 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.

 

The Company serves most major airlines (including five of the top six North American airlines, as well as the top five hub and spoke airlines), approximately fifty airport customers (including twenty-three of the top thirty North American airports), and approximately two hundred corporate aviation customers, as well as the U.S. government, including the FAA and TSA.

 

The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers money annually by enabling preemptive decision making and more effective operational planning. The PASSUR® System simultaneously scans, correlates, and pulls information from the Company’s PASSUR® Network together with multiple additional government and private databases.

 

The PASSUR® Network includes one hundred and fifty-five Company-owned PASSUR® Radar Systems, covering ninety-eight of the top one hundred North American airports. Other PASSUR®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.

Page 13
 

The Company delivers these tools primarily on “web-dashboards,” – a single page or screen which aggregates many different sets of information into a simplified presentation of performance indicators and exception alerts to support quick decisions and information useful in predicting future situations. Almost all of the PASSUR® solutions have a live or real-time component, and most also include alerts, decision support, collaborative components, immediate playback or review, as well as analysis. The PASSUR® products are protected by multiple patents and patent pending applications.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

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 and professional services designed to address the needs of the aviation industry and the U.S. government.

 

The Company will continue to market the business intelligence, predictive analytics, and decision support product applications and solutions derived from the PASSUR® Network. Such efforts include the continued development of new products, professional services, and existing product enhancements. There were one hundred and fifty-five Company-owned PASSUR® Systems located at airports worldwide as of July 31, 2011. Redundant PASSUR® Systems have been installed at major customer locations.

 

Revenues increased by $562,000, or 20%, and $2,710,000, or 36%, to $3,333,000 and $10,208,000, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. New customer subscriptions and existing customer upgrades to the Company’s suite of software applications accounted for this increase, partially offset by an 11% reduction for professional services engagements, for the three months ended July 31, 2011. New customer subscriptions and existing customer upgrades to the Company’s suite of software applications and new customer engagements for professional services accounted for 87% and 13% of this increase, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2011.

 

The Company continues to develop and deploy new software applications and solutions, as well as a wide selection of products which address customers’ needs, easily delivered through web-based applications, as well as other new products which include stand-alone professional services.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR® Network Systems, amortization of software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR® Network Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR® Network Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR® Network units added to the Network, which include the production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR® 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.

 

Cost of revenues increased by $263,000, or 21%, and $1,184,000, or 36%, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. These increases consisted of payroll and related costs of $32,000 and $475,000, depreciation and amortization of $130,000 and $235,000, as well as an increase in communication costs for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, and an increase in consulting fees for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010.

Page 14
 

When the Company ships and installs its PASSUR® Network Systems there is a reduction in cost of revenues due to the fact that the labor related costs for these processes are capitalized, rather than expensed as a component of costs of revenue. Fewer systems were shipped and installed in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 than in the same period of the previous fiscal year, which resulted in a $178,000 and $679,000 increase in cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as the capitalized costs were lower in the current period. The increase in cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 described above, was partially offset by increases of $128,000 and $714,000 in the capitalization of software development costs during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010, due to the hiring of four additional programmers.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses increased by $100,000, or 132%, and $108,000, or 49%, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. During the quarter ended July 31, 2011, the Company increased its investment in research and development in a substantial software product using employees that ordinarily perform work that would be capitalized as part of software development costs, and therefore these increases consisted primarily of payroll and related costs. The Company’s research and development efforts include activities associated with the enhancement 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 customers. There were no customer-sponsored research and development activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. Research and development expenses are funded by current operations.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $356,000, or 34%, and $1,089,000, or 37%, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs.

 

Income from Operations

 

Revenues increased by $562,000 or 20%, and $2,710,000 or 36%, to $3,333,000 and $10,208,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. Total costs and expenses increased by $718,000, or 31%, and $2,381,000, or 37%, to $3,065,000 and $8,808,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. Income from operations decreased by $156,000, or 37%, to $268,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the hiring of six additional employees, as well as an increase of $100,000 in research and development. Income from operations increased $329,000, or 31%, to $1,400,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010.

 

Interest Expense – Related Party

 

Interest expense – related party was $133,000 and $824,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to $343,000 and $1,017,000 for the same periods in fiscal year 2010. On May 9, 2011, the Company entered into a transaction that reduced its outstanding notes payable to Mr. Gilbert by $10,000,000 and this resulted in a reduction of interest expense of $210,000 and $193,000 respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010.

 

On September 6, 2011, the interest rate on the note payable to Mr. Gilbert was reduced from an annual rate of 9% to an annual rate of 6%, and the Company’s option to pay interest at the annual rate of 3% in cash or “paid in kind” was discontinued, as a result of the transaction described in Note 5, “Subsequent Event” above.

Net Income

 

The Company had net income of $127,000, or $.02 per diluted share, and $559,000, or $.09 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to net income of $73,000, or $.01 per diluted share, and $25,000, or $.00 per diluted share, respectively, for the same periods in fiscal year 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,208,000 at July 31, 2011. The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, was $4,815,000 at July 31, 2011, with a maturity of November 1, 2014.

 

The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $5,052,000 at July 31, 2011. The Company had net income of $559,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011.

 

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital deficiency by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR® Network Systems information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service 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 obtained, the Company has received an unconditional and irrevocable commitment from its significant shareholder and Chairman to receive the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations through September 6, 2012.

 

The Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated September 6, 2011, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through September 6, 2012, 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/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,042,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, and consisted of $1,843,000 non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization, $559,000 of net income, and a decrease in accounts receivable, due to the timing of customer invoicing, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable, primarily due to the timing of vendor invoice payments, as well as decreases in deferred revenue and accrued interest – related party, as well as an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Cash used in investing activities was $1,836,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, expended primarily for capitalized software development costs. Cash used in financing activities was $133,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, and consisted of $4,250,000 repayments of notes payable – related party and private placement expenditures, offset by $4,250,000 proceeds from stock issuance and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

The Company’s revenue has increased as a result of its subscription-based revenue model for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. 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 changes in 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.

Page 16
 

Interest by potential customers in the information and decision support software products obtained from PASSUR® Network Systems as well as in its professional services 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.

 

The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet its operating and investment needs through at least October 31, 2011, and the Company does not anticipate borrowing additional funds from Mr. Gilbert during that period, although the Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert to do so if the Company needs additional funds.

 

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, 2010 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 of its results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations 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, 2010, where such policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. 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, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the control system are met. 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 at a reasonable assurance level as of July 31, 2011.

 

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.
