Organization and Business of the Company
|
Organization
JetFleet Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries (“JHC” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California on January
27, 1994. As of September 30, 2018, all of the outstanding common stock of JHC was owned indirectly through trusts by Toni M. Perazzo and Abigail Crispin (Ms. Perazzo’s daughter), and by shareholders not affiliated with JHC or its subsidiaries.
JHC owns all of the outstanding common stock of JetFleet Management Corp (“JMC”). JMC owns all of the outstanding common
stock of 1314401 Alberta Inc. (“JetFleet Canada”).
Business of the
Company and the Company's Subsidiaries
The Company was formed to build an integrated aircraft management, marketing and financing business. In August 2015, the
Company extended its management agreement with AeroCentury Corp. (“ACY”) for ten years. The new management agreement expires in August 2025, and the Company remains responsible for the selection of assets to be acquired by ACY and the leasing,
re-leasing and/or subsequent sale of assets owned by ACY. The Company is entitled to acquisition fees, re-sale and re-lease fees and management fees in connection with these activities. As a result of the October 1, 2018 merger between ACY and the
Company discussed in Note 6, the Company will cease to receive these fees.
As mentioned above, JetFleet Canada is a subsidiary of JMC. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, JetFleet Canada provides
aircraft management and technical services for the Company and its affiliates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Financial information for the Company is presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") based upon the continuation of the business as a going concern.
Principles of
Consolidation
These financial statements reflect the consolidation of JHC’s results with those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, JMC,
and JetFleet Canada. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of
consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements are the estimated value of
marketable securities and the accounting for income taxes.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments readily convertible into known amounts of cash, with
original maturities of three months or less, as cash equivalents.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs. The first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
Level 1
– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
– Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant
to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities
Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of September 30, 2018, there were no liabilities that were required to be measured and recorded at fair
value on a recurring basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 securities.
Fair Value of Other Financial
Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, other than cash, consist principally of cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, marketable securities, and accounts payable. The fair value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates the carrying value of these financial instruments because of their short-term nature.
Marketable securities are stated at fair value as of the balance sheet date. The Company measures the fair values of
investments in Level 1 securities using the last quoted sales price from the primary exchange where the security is traded. The Company classifies its marketable equity securities as available for sale. Realized gains and losses, determined using
the first in, first out (FIFO) method are included in earnings; unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had a gross unrecognized loss on its marketable equity
securities available for sale of $11,900. From inception to September 30, 2018, the Company had the following cumulative gross unrealized losses on marketable equity securities available for sale:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
At September 30, 2018, the Company held 214,876 shares of ACY common stock. The Company’s investment in ACY is recorded at
fair value and classified within Level 1 because it is listed on the NYSE American Exchange where its value is based on quoted market prices in active markets. As discussed below in Note 3, the Company made a dividend distribution of the ACY common
stock on October 1, 2018 and recognized the gain in current income at September 30, 2018.
At September 30, 2018, the Company owned 121 shares of Uniform Components non-voting preferred stock. The Uniform
Components non-voting preferred stock has a cumulative preferred annual dividend of 10% and a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, but may not be redeemed
before January 1, 2019. Because the Company owns a minority share of non-voting preferred stock, Uniform Components results are not consolidated with those of the Company.
The Company’s investment in Uniform Components non-voting preferred stock has been classified within Level 3 due to unobservable inputs and infrequent trading. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Company measures their fair value using the income valuation approach, for which sufficient and reliable data is available. At September 30, 2018, the Company has estimated the stock’s fair market value to be equal to its stated liquidation value on January 1, 2019, which does not differ materially from estimating the value based upon expected dividends and liquidation proceeds, discounted at 10%, the stock’s dividend rate.
Note
Receivable
The note receivable is carried at its estimated collectible amount. The Company received the note receivable in July 2014
from an outside consultant in exchange for a cash loan. The note receivable accrues interest at 1% per annum and matures on October 31, 2020. Interest income on the note receivable is recognized using the interest method.
Equipment, Leasehold
Improvements and Depreciation
The Company’s interests in equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over five years.
The Company’s leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Income taxes
As part of the process of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is
required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s current tax exposure under the most recent tax laws and assessing temporary differences resulting from
differing treatment of items for tax and GAAP purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are included in the consolidated balance sheet. Management must also assess the likelihood that the Company’s deferred
tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company must establish a valuation allowance.
To the extent the Company
2.
|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
|
establishes a valuation allowance or changes the
allowance in a period, the Company reflects the corresponding increase or decrease within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s future taxable
income for purposes of assessing the Company’s ability to realize any benefit from its deferred taxes. The Company records non-income based sales, use, property, value added and franchise taxes as general and administrative expense in
the consolidated statement of operations.
In early 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-02 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income
(Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”) was adopted by the FASB, providing that reporting entities could elect to reclassify “stranded tax effects,” resulting from the tax
rate reduction provided for in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, from accumulated comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-02 for its year ended December 31, 2017, and consequently reclassified its stranded
tax effects in that year.
Common Stock
On September 30, 2018, the Company had 362,194 shares of common stock outstanding.
Comprehensive Income
The Company reports unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities in comprehensive income. In addition, for the
Company’s foreign subsidiary where the functional currency is the Canadian dollar, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates while non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts
are translated at the average rates in effect during the period.
Foreign Currency
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of JetFleet Canada is the Canadian
dollar. The balance sheet of the Company’s foreign subsidiary is translated at the September 30, 2018 rate of exchange, and the statement of operations is translated at the average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2018 through September
30, 2018. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes income earned from services provided to ACY pursuant to a management agreement. The Company
receives a monthly management fee based on the net asset value of ACY’s assets under management by the Company. The Company records the monthly management fee at the end of each month. The Company also receives an acquisition fee for locating
assets for ACY and may receive a remarketing fee in connection with the sale or re-lease of ACY’s assets. The Company’s policy is to record acquisition fees on the date ACY completes the acquisition of aircraft assets and to record remarketing fees
on the date a sale or re-lease of ACY’s assets occurs.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentration of
Revenues
All of the fees earned by the Company are derived from aviation assets owned by ACY, which are leased to customers in
countries around the world. Related party transactions between the Company and ACY are discussed in footnote 10.

Dividends
|
On September 18, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a dividend to common stockholders in the form
of 0.593 shares of common stock of ACY, which stock was held as available for sale. On October 1, 2018, stockholders of record on September 19, 2018 received 0.593 shares of ACY’s common stock for each share of the Company's stock held. Retained
earnings was charged in the amount of $3,330,600, which represented the aggregate market value of such ACY stock. A gain of $2,433,700, representing the excess of the distributed stock’s aggregate market value over its aggregate cost, was included
in net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
On September 25, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $10.96 per share of common
stock payable on October 1, 2018 to stockholders of record on September 26, 2018. Retained earnings has been charged in the amount of $3,970,200, which represents the aggregate amount of the cash dividend.
4. Commitments
The Company leases its office space under a lease expiring June 30, 2020 and a storage facility on a
monthly basis. Effective June 1, 2018, the Company agreed to amend its office lease to reduce the size of the rented office space and to provide two consecutive, 1-year renewal options. The amended monthly lease commitment for the office space
includes an amount for base rent and operating expenses (including utilities and insurance costs). The Company estimates that the future minimum lease commitments for its office space, including both the base rent and operating expenses, and
storage facility are as follows:

The projected annual rent expenses shown above are based on periodic increases to the base rental rate provided in the
amended lease, and fixed operating expenses of $10,670 per month as required under the amended lease. Total rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which included rent for a storage facility rented on a monthly basis, was
$288,000.

JetFleet Canada is a Canadian
corporation subject to tax in Canada. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes for JetFleet Canada is reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and includes foreign taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
5. Income tax provision (continued)
Deferred federal income taxes
arise from temporary differences between the valuation of assets and liabilities as determined for financial reporting purposes and federal income tax purposes and are measured at enacted tax rates. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law. Among other things, the Act reduced the Company’s corporate federal tax rate to a flat 21% for years after 2017 and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain
foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. The Act also establishes new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s deferred tax items have been measured and adjusted based on the new federal tax
rate of 21%, which is the rate at which they are expected to reverse in subsequent years.
Utilization of the deferred tax assets may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership
change limitations that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an "ownership change," as defined by the code, results from a transaction or series of
transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.
The Company has not established a valuation allowance at September 30, 2018 for its remaining deferred tax
assets because the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will have sufficient future taxable income (including the reversal of temporary differences) to realize the tax benefits from such assets.
The Company accounts for interest related to uncertain tax positions as interest expense and for income
tax penalties as tax expense. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a balance of accrued tax, penalties and interest of $89,100 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits on its Canadian operation. The
Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of this reporting date.
All of the Company's tax years remain open to examination other than as barred in the various jurisdictions by statutes of
limitation.
6. Acquisition by AeroCentury Corp.
In October 2017, the Company and ACY entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") for the
acquisition of the Company by ACY in a reverse triangular merger (the "Merger") for consideration of $3.5 million in cash and 129,286 shares of common stock of ACY, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement. ACY submitted an
application to the State of California Department of Business Oversight (the "DBO") for a permit (the "Permit") to issue securities to the Company's shareholders in the Merger, which Permit was issued on February 22, 2018 after a hearing with the
DBO. The Company’s shareholders approved the acquisition of the Company by ACY on March 14, 2018. ACY held a special meeting of its shareholders to
approve the Merger and the issuance of ACY Common Stock in connection with the Merger as required under the applicable listing rules of the NYSE American exchange on which ACY’s common stock is traded. Approval of the Merger was not required
under Delaware or California corporate law, or under the Merger Agreement.
6. Acquisition by AeroCentury Corp. (continued)
In August 2018 ACY’s shareholders approved the issuance of ACY Common Stock, and the Merger was
consummated on October 1, 2018.
In April 2018, subsequent to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to waive its right to receive
management and acquisition fees ("Contract Fees") otherwise owed by
ACY to the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement for all periods after March 31, 2018 and until the earlier of the consummation of the
Merger or August 15, 2018. In return, ACY agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses ("Management Expense") incurred in providing management services set forth under the Management Agreement. In July 2018, the Company agreed to extend the
expiration of this agreement (the "Waiver and Reimbursement Agreement") through October 15, 2018. Thus, if the Merger Agreement was terminated on or before October 15, 2018 or the Merger otherwise did not close by October 15, 2018, ACY would have
become obligated to pay the Company any excess (the "JMC Margin") of (i) the Contract Fees that would have been paid to the Company since April 1, 2018 in the absence of the Waiver and Reimbursement Agreement over (ii) the Management Expenses
actually paid by ACY to the Company since April 1, 2018. For the period April 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018, contractual fees exceeded reimbursed fees by $1,023,100 of management fees and $494,400 of acquisition fees. Pursuant to the Waiver
and Reimbursement Agreement, the Company did not accrue as income the JMC Margin that would have been due under the Management Agreement.
Upon the consummation of the Merger Agreement on October 1, 2018, ACY will not be obligated to pay the Company the JMC
Margin for the period from April 1, 2018, through October 1, 2018. Thereafter, the Company will not recognize its right to receive management fees and acquisition fees pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement.
7. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at various financial institutions, where they are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $250,000. The balances of these accounts from time to time exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2018, the amount over FDIC and SIPC limits was approximately $0.

8. Accumulated Comprehensive Income (continued)
The Company has not established a deferred tax asset from the unrealized capital loss in the Uniform
Components preferred stock of $25,400, at September 30, 2018. When it is realized, the loss will be characterized as a capital loss for income tax purposes and only available to off-set capital gains. In addition, the unused capital loss could only
be carried forward for five-years before it expires. Based on an assessment of all available information, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will not have sufficient future taxable capital gains to realize the tax benefit from
such an asset.
9. Retirement plan
The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution salary deferral profit sharing plan for U.S.
employees. An employee must be at least 21 years of age to participate in this plan. This plan permits employees to defer up to 15% of their salary based on strict IRS guidelines. Participants are always 100% vested in their salary deferral
contributions. Participants vest in the matching Company contributions ratably over two years. The Company made no matching contributions to this plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
10. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s subsidiary, JMC, an integrated aircraft management, marketing and financing business, manages and
administers a portfolio of leased aircraft assets owned by ACY pursuant to a management agreement which expires in August 2025. Certain officers of the Company are also officers of ACY and hold significant ownership positions in both ACY and the
Company. JMC also receives an acquisition fee for locating assets for ACY and may receive a remarketing fee in connection with the sale or re-lease of ACY’s assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, JMC earned management fees of
$3,459,700.
As discussed above in Note 6, if the Merger had been terminated on or before October 15, 2018 or the Merger otherwise had
not closed by October 15, 2018, ACY would have been obligated to pay the Company the JMC Margin. For the period April 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018, the JMC Margin consisted of $1,023,100 of management fees and $494,400 of acquisition fees.
Upon consummation of the Merger on October 1, 2018, the fees subject to the Waiver and Reimbursement Agreement for the period beginning on April 1, 2018 and ending on October 1, 2018, will not be collected.
11. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events occurring through December 10, 2018 the date the financial statements were available to
be issued.
On October 1, 2018, the Company distributed to stockholders of record on September 19, 2018, the ACY common stock dividend
as described in Note 3.
The Company and ACY consummated the merger agreement on October 1, 2018. As a subsidiary of ACY, the Company’s results
will be included in ACY’s consolidated financial statements beginning in fourth quarter of 2018. There are no other events that require recording or disclosure in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
