ASTRO AEROSPACE LTD.

 

Up to a Maximum of 4,343,713 Common Shares

 

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus of up to 4,343,713 common shares, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Shares”) of Astro Aerospace Ltd., a Nevada corporation (“Astro,” “we,” or “Company”). The common shares are issued or issuable by us to the selling stockholder pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by us with Oasis Capital LLC (the “selling stockholder”) dated November 27, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we have issued a senior secured promissory note in the principal sum of up to $1,383,636 for consideration of $1,200,000, payable in two tranches.  This prospectus also relates to the resale by the selling stockholder of up to 156,250 shares of our Common Stock that we issued to the selling stockholder as inducement shares and the 344,029 shares underlying the warrants issued with respect to the Purchase Agreement.

 

For more information about the selling stockholder, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholder” beginning on page 34.

 

The selling stockholder may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time through public or private transactions at either fixed prices or prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or negotiated prices.

 

Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in such resales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection therewith. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. For more information, please see the section of this prospectus titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 15.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholder. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of the note directly to the selling stockholder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and may receive from the exercise of warrants.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or “OTCQB” under the symbol “ASDN.” On June 8, 2020, the closing price for our Common Stock was $0.08 per share. These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for our Common Stock.

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase shares only if you can afford a complete loss. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:

 

1. We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. You may lose your entire investment. 

 

We are a new business and as such, there is no assurance that we will be able to locate customers that could use our services in the future and we may not be able to generate revenues in the future in a manner that will be sufficient for us to remain profitable.

 

Our future profitability will be dependent upon if we can service clients and increase our client base.  There can be no assurance that we will ever increase our profitability.

 

Even if we obtain future revenues sufficient to expand operations, increased operating expenses could adversely affect our ability to operate in a profitable manner.

 

2. There can be no assurance we will continue to be able to successfully compete in the market or generate enough sales to increase our profitability. 

 

There are no assurances that we will continue to be successful in our business endeavors or continue to generate enough sales to be profitable.

 

3.Our success depends on a key employee. 

 

Our success depends to a significant extent on the performance of a single director/officer.

 

We do not have “key person” insurance on the live of our sole officer and director. Our inability to retain or successfully replace a necessary member of our senior management could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

4.We may in the future issue more shares that could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders. 

 

We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized, but unissued, common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of our voting power and equity. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control the Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at that time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by our current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.

 

5.The elimination of personal liability of our director and officer under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights held by our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenses. 

 

We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes.  The Nevada Revised Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification.


6


6.Our industry is highly competitive and cyclical, with intense price competition. 

 

The manned and cargo drone industry is new, but it competes directly with other aircraft industries, such as helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.  These industries are highly competitive throughout the world.  Chartering of such aircraft is often done on the basis of competitive bidding among those providers having the necessary equipment, operational experience and resources.  Factors that affect competition in these industries include price, quality of service, operational experience, record of safety, quality and type of equipment, client relationships and professional reputation.

 

Our industry has historically been cyclical and is affected by the volatility of the market.  There are periods of high demand for aircraft services, followed by periods of low demand for aircraft services, and the manned and cargo drone industry is likely to follow this trend.  Changes in commodity prices can have a significant effect on the demand for our services, and periods of low activity intensify price competition in the industry and often result in aircraft being idle for long periods of time.

 

As a result of significant cross-industry competition, we must be able to provide safe and efficient service.

 

7.Reductions in spending on industrial aviation services by government agencies could result in difficulties in garnering contracts or delays in receiving payments, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

We intend to offer our products to government agencies as potential clients.  However, any reductions in the budgets of government agencies for spending on industrial aviation services, implementation of cost saving measures by government agencies, imposed modifications of contract terms or delays in collecting receivables owed to us by future government agency clients could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, there are inherent risks in contracting with government agencies.  Applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate may result in government agency clients being able to terminate contracts for convenience, reduce, modify or cancel contracts or subcontracts if requirements or budgetary constraints change, or terminate contracts or adjust their terms.

 

8.We may undertake one or more significant corporate transactions that may not achieve their intended results, may adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations or result in unforeseeable risks to our business. 

 

We continuously evaluate the acquisition or disposition of operating businesses and assets and may in the future undertake one or more significant transactions. Any such transaction could be material to our business and could take any number of forms, including mergers, joint ventures and the purchase of equity interests. The consideration for such acquisitive transactions may include, among other things, cash, common stock or equity interests in us or our subsidiaries, or a contribution of equipment to obtain equity interests, and in conjunction with a transaction we might incur additional indebtedness. We also routinely evaluate the benefits of disposing of certain of our assets.

 

These transactions may present significant risks such as insufficient revenue to offset liabilities assumed, potential loss of significant revenue and income streams, increased or unexpected expenses, inadequate return of capital, regulatory or compliance issues, the triggering of certain covenants in our debt agreements (including accelerated repayment) and unidentified issues not discovered in due diligence. In addition, such transactions could distract management from current operations. As a result of the risks inherent in such transactions, we cannot guarantee that any such transaction will ultimately result in the realization of its anticipated benefits or that it will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we were to complete such an acquisition, disposition, investment or other strategic transaction, we may require additional debt or equity financing that could result in a significant increase in our amount of debt and our debt service obligations or the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, thereby diluting holders of our common stock outstanding prior to such acquisition.


7


9.Our operations involve a degree of inherent risk that may not be covered by our insurance and may increase our operating costs. 

 

The development and operations of manned drones inherently involves a degree of risk.  Hazards such as harsh weather, mechanical failures, facility fires, spare parts damage, crashes and collisions are inherent in our business and may result in personal injury, loss of life, damage to property and equipment, suspension or reduction of operations, reduced number of flight hours and the grounding of such aircraft or insufficient ground facilities or spare parts to support operations.  In addition to any loss of property or life, our revenue, profitability and margins could be materially affected by an accident or asset damage.

 

We, or third parties operating our drones, may experience accidents or damage to our assets in the future.  These risks could endanger the safety of both our own and our clients’ personnel, equipment, cargo and other property, as well as the environment.  If any of these events were to occur with equipment or other assets that we need to operate or lease to third parties, we could experience loss of revenue, termination of charter contracts, higher insurance rates, and damage to our reputation and client relationships.  In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with drones we operate or to assets supporting operations, we could be held liable for resulting damages.  Even where losses or liability for damages is covered by insurance, we may incur deductibles and additional insurance premiums.  The lack of sufficient insurance for an incident or accident could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

We attempt to protect ourselves against financial losses and damages by carrying insurance to cover test flights.  Our insurance coverage is subject to deductibles and maximum coverage amounts, and we do not carry insurance against all types of losses, including business interruption. We cannot assure you that our existing coverage will be sufficient to protect against all losses, that we will be able to maintain our existing coverage in the future or that the premiums will not increase substantially. In addition, future terrorist activity, risks of war, accidents or other events could increase our insurance premiums. The loss of our liability insurance coverage, inadequate coverage from our liability insurance or substantial increases in future premiums could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

10.Failure to maintain standards of acceptable safety performance may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain clients and could adversely impact our reputation, operations and financial performance. 

 

Our clients consider safety and reliability as two of the primary attributes when selecting a provider of air transportation services. If we fail to maintain standards of safety and reliability that are satisfactory to our clients, our ability to retain clients and attract new clients may be adversely affected. Accidents or disasters could impact client or passenger confidence in a particular fleet type, us or the air transportation services industry as a whole and could lead to a reduction in client contracts, particularly if such accidents or disasters were due to a safety fault in a type of aircraft used in our fleet. In addition, the loss of aircraft as a result of accidents could cause significant adverse publicity and the interruption of air services to our clients, which could adversely impact our reputation, operations and financial results.

 

11.We are exposed to credit risk 

 

We are exposed to credit risk on our financial investments, if any, which depends on the ability of our counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us. We will manage credit risk by entering into arrangements with established counterparties and through the establishment of credit policies and limits, which are applied in the selection of counterparties.

 

Credit risk on financial instruments arises from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations and is limited to those contracts on which we would incur a loss in replacing the instrument. We will monitor our concentration risk with counterparties on an ongoing basis. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure for financial assets.


8


Credit risk could arise on our trade receivables, if any, from the unexpected loss in cash and earnings when a client cannot meet its obligation to us or when the value of any security provided declines. To mitigate trade credit risk, we have developed credit policies that include the review, approval and monitoring of new clients, annual creditevaluations and credit limits. There can be no assurance that our risk mitigation strategies will be effective and that credit risk will not adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

12.Changes in effective tax rates, taxation of our foreign subsidiaries or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our tax returns could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws, both domestically and internationally, or the interpretation or application thereof.  From time to time, the U.S. Congress and foreign, state and local governments consider legislation that could increase our effective tax rate or the effective tax rates of our consolidated affiliates. We cannot determine whether, or in what form, legislation will ultimately be enacted or what the impact of any such legislation could have on our profitability. If these or other changes to tax laws are enacted, our profitability could be negatively impacted.

 

Our future effective tax rates could also be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, the ultimate repatriation of earnings from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S., or by changes in tax treaties, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof in one or more countries in which we operate. In addition, we are subject to the potential examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities where we file tax returns. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that such examinations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

13.Manned and cargo drones are new technology.  Unforeseen government regulation may limit our ability to operate. 

 

While our industry does share some overlap with helicopter and fixed wing aircraft industries, the technology is new and in development.  As a result, our industry may face increased regulation from one or more government agencies that could have a negative effect on our ability to operate our business.  There is no guarantee that we could continue operations if these regulations are too strict or expansive.

 

14.Adverse results of legal proceedings could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

We may in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Irrespective of merit, litigation may be both lengthy and disruptive to our operations and could cause significant expenditure and diversion of management attention. We may face significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us that could materially adversely affect a portion of our business operations or materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations should we not prevail in certain matters.

 

15.Negative publicity may adversely impact us. 

 

Media coverage and public statements that insinuate improper actions by us, our unconsolidated affiliates, or other companies in our industry, regardless of their factual accuracy or truthfulness, may result in negative publicity, litigation or governmental investigations by regulators. Addressing negative publicity and any resulting litigation or investigations may distract management, increase costs and divert resources. Negative publicity may have an adverse impact on our reputation, the morale of our employees and the willingness of passengers to fly on our aircraft and those of our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


9


16.We are a smaller reporting company, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors. 

 

We are currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset- backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. “Smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited consolidated financial statements in annual reports and in a registration statement under the Exchange Act on Form 10. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

 

17.We lack sufficient internal controls and implementing acceptable internal controls will be difficult with only one officer and director thereby it will be difficult to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. 

 

We lack internal controls over our financial statements and it may be difficult to implement such controls with only one officer and director. The lack of these internal controls makes it difficult to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

 

The reason we believe our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective is because there is a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control due to insufficient accounting staff due to the size of the Company.

 

18.The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities.  

 

We are a "penny stock" company. Our common stock does not currently trade on any market.  We intend for our common stock to trade on the OTC Market Pink Sheets and we will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of investors to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;


10


(iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 

19.We have not paid dividends to date and do not intend to pay any dividends in the near future. 

 

We have never paid dividends on our common shares and presently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operations of our business. You may never receive any dividends on our shares.

 

20.The exercise of stock options and warrants or the later sales of our common shares may further dilute your common shares. 

 

Our board of directors is authorized to sell additional common shares or securities convertible into common shares, if in their discretion they determine that such action would be beneficial to us. Any such issuance below the offering price of the common shares in this prospectus would dilute the interest of persons acquiring common shares in this offering.

 

21.If large amounts of our common shares held by our existing stockholders are sold in the future, the market price of our common shares could decline. 

 

The market price of our common shares could fall substantially if our existing stockholders were to sell large amounts of our common shares in the public market following this offering. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities if we need to do so in the future to address then-existing financing needs. U.S. federal securities laws requiring the registration or exemption from registration in connection with the sale of securities limit the number of shares of common stock available for sale in the public market.

 

22.Investors may suffer substantial dilution or an unrealized loss of seniority in preferences and privileges if we need to seek additional funding in the future. 

 

We have authorized 250,000,000 common shares with 78,129,504 common shares outstanding as of June 10, 2020. If we desire to raise additional capital in the future to expand our operations, we may have to issue additional equity, preferred securities or convertible debt securities, which may not need the approval of current shareholders. The issuance of new common shares would cause the buyers in this offering to suffer dilution of their ownership percentage. In addition, it is possible that any future securities could grant new shareholders rights, preferences, and/or privileges that are different from this offering.

 

23.We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and may dilute your ownership of our common stock. 

 

We currently rely on outside financing to fund our operations, capital expenditures and expansion. We may require additional capital from equity or debt financing in the future to:

 

a)   fund our operations;

b)   respond to competitive pressures;

c)   take advantage of strategic opportunities, including more rapid expansion of

     our business or the acquisition of complementary products, technologies or   

     businesses; and

d)   develop new products or enhancements to existing products.

We may not be able to secure timely additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may place limits on our financial and operating flexibility. If we raise additional funds through issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of the Company, and any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if and when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

 

24.We may expand through acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies or through business relationships, all of which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders and consumption of resources that are necessary to sustain our business. 

 

One of our business strategies is to acquire competing or complementary services, technologies or businesses.   In connection with one or more of those transactions, we may:

 

a)issue additional equity securities that would dilute our stockholders; 

b)use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business; 

c)incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay; 

d)incur large charges or substantial liabilities; 

e)encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse business cultures; 

f)become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges; and 

g)encounter unfavorable reactions from investment banking market analysts who disapprove of our completed acquisitions. 

 

25.Our convertible promissory note entered into default, and we may not be able to maintain the forbearance agreement for the defaulted note. 

 

On November 27, 2018, we issued a Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,383,636. The Note accrues interest (payable at maturity with the principal) at a rate of 8% per annum, six months from the issue date. We defaulted on the Note and entered into a forbearance agreement with the Investor.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Investor is willing to postpone pursuing its rights and remedies under the agreements until June 30, 2020.  There is no assurance that we will be able to repay the Note before this time. If we fail to pay the principal of and interest on the Note when due, the interest rate increases to a default rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount allowed by law until paid. In such event, or in the case of other events of default as defined in the Note, we will likely be required to seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.

 

26.Resales of shares purchased by the selling stockholder under the Purchase Agreement may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.  

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have issued to the selling stockholder a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,383,636 in return for a total investment of $1,200,000.  This note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date.  The selling stockholder will have the financial incentive to sell the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement in advance of or upon receiving such shares and to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the current market price of the shares. This may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. Following the issuance of the common shares upon conversion of the note, the selling stockholder may offer and resell the common shares at a price and time determined by them. The timing of sales and the price at which the shares are sold by the selling stockholder could have an adverse effect upon the public market for our Common Stock. There may be no independent or third-party underwriter involved in the offering of the shares held by or to be received by the selling stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, and there can be no guarantee that the disposition of those shares will be completed in a manner that is not disruptive to the market for our Common Stock. We may be unable to issue shares to the selling stockholder if the trading volume in our stock is not sufficient to allow the selling stockholder to sell the shares.

27.Issuances under the Purchase Agreement may cause dilution to existing stockholders.  

 

Existing stockholders likely will experience increased dilution with decreases in market value of our common shares in relation to our issuances of shares under the Purchase Agreement, which could have a material adverse impact on the value of their shares. The formula for determining the number of common shares to be issued under the Purchase Agreement is based, in part, on the market price of the common shares and is equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common shares over the thirty trading days before the conversion notice is tendered by us to the selling stockholder. As a result, the lower the market price of our common stock at and around the time we issue shares under the Purchase Agreement, the more of our common shares the selling stockholder receives. Any increase in the number of common shares issued as a result of decreases in the prevailing market price would compound the risks of dilution. The selling stockholder may resell some, if not all, of the shares that we issue to them under the Purchase Agreement and such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. To the extent of any such decline, any subsequent conversions would require us to register additional common shares for issuance. Under these circumstances, the existing stockholders of the Company will experience greater dilution. The effect of this dilution may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to decrease further, both because of the downward pressure on the stock price that would be caused by a large number of sales of our shares into the public market by the selling stockholder, and because our existing stockholders may disagree with a decision to sell shares under the Purchase Agreement at a time when our stock price is low, and may in response decide to sell additional shares, further decreasing our stock price.

 

28.There is an increased potential for short sales of our common stock due to the sale of shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which could materially affect the market price of our common stock.  

 

Downward pressure on the market price of our common stock that likely will result from resales of the common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement could encourage short sales of common stock by market participants other than the selling stockholder. Generally, short selling means selling a security not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the security previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price – typically, investors who sell short believe that the price of the stock will fall and anticipate selling at a price higher than the price at which they will buy the stock. Significant amounts of such short selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

 

29.There can be no guarantee that the proceeds available to us under the Purchase Agreement will be sufficient for us to achieve profitable operations or to pay our current liabilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our ability to continue operations.  

 

There is no assurance that the funds available to us under the Purchase Agreement will be sufficient to allow us to continue our marketing and sales efforts to the point we achieve profitable operations.

 

30.Although we are restricted from issuing shares under the Purchase Agreement to the selling stockholder if the purchase of such shares would result in the purchaser owning more than 9.99% of our issued and outstanding common shares following such issuance, such restriction does not prevent the selling stockholder from selling a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.  

 

We are prohibited from issuing shares to the selling stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement if the issuance of shares would result in the selling stockholder holding more than 9.99% of the then-outstanding common shares. This restriction, however, does not prevent the selling stockholder from selling common shares previously received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and then receiving additional common shares in connection with a subsequent conversion. In this way, the selling stockholder could acquire and sell more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 9.99% at one time.


13


31.Because the purchase price paid by the selling stockholder for the shares issued under the Purchase Agreement is based on a discount to the market price of our common stock, if the market price declines, we may be unable to continue to issue common shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement without registering additional shares, which would impose additional costs in connection with the Purchase Agreement.  

 

If the market price of our common stock declines, the number of common shares issuable in connection with the Purchase Agreement will increase. Accordingly, the shares registered for resale under this prospectus may be insufficient to permit us to issue additional shares in connection with the Purchase Agreement. In such an event, we would be required to, and would, file additional registration statements to cover the resale of additional shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The filing of the additional registration statement would impose additional costs in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

 

32.The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic. 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets as well as the global financial markets. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business and shareholders may experience a significant negative impact.  Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to move forward with our operations and has negatively affected our ability to timely comply with our ongoing filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.  We have made the forward-looking statements with management’s best estimates prepared in good faith.

 

Because of the number and range of the assumptions underlying our projections and forward-looking statements, many of which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond our reasonable control, some of the assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and we will not update this information other than required by law.  Therefore, the actual experience of the Company, and results achieved during the period covered by any particular projections and other forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, or any other person, that we will realize these estimates and projections, and actual results may vary materially.  We cannot assure you that any of these expectations will be realized or that any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will prove to be accurate.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The selling stockholder is selling all of the common shares covered by this prospectus for their own accounts.  Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common shares.  However, we will receive proceeds from the issuance of the Note pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement to the selling stockholder.  We intend to use the net proceeds received from such issuance for working capital and general corporate needs.


14


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of shares of our Common Stock covered hereby on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

-ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; 

-block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; 

-purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 

-an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

-privately negotiated transactions; 

-in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; 

-through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; 

-a combination of any such methods of sale; or 

-any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

 

The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, provided such amounts are in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Common Stock will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers.

 

Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act, and such broker-dealers or agents will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


15


The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

At any time, a particular offer of the shares of our Common Stock is made by the selling stockholder, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of any required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of Common Stock. We may suspend the sale of shares by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholder, pursuant to which we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering common shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, common shares issued for purposes of inducement, and common shares underlying warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement within 30 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement.  In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after filing and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the termination of the Purchase Agreement.  The 4,343,713 common shares registered herein represent approximately 0.056% of the shares then issued and outstanding, assuming that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares offered for sale.  The 4,343,713 common shares registered herein represent approximately 24.42% of the shares issued and outstanding held by non-affiliates of the Company.

 

Penny Stock

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will come within the definition of a “penny stock” because the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. As a result, our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" rules and regulations. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. These regulations require broker-dealers to:

 

Make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser;

- Receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and

- Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Astro Aerospace Ltd. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 27, 2007.  On March 14, 2018, the majority of the stock was purchased by MAAB Global Limited, resulting in the name change from CPSM, Inc. to Astro Aerospace Ltd. and the business change from pool sales to the research and development of manned and cargo drones.  

 

The Company has acquired the software, firmware and hardware for version one of a manned drone which has executed multiple flights. It is Astro’s goal to transform how people and things get from place to place. This will be done by making safe, affordable user-friendly autonomous manned and unmanned Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft available to the mass market anywhere. Astro is currently working on Version two of the drone product which will feature design changes which enhance the top speed and length of time the drone can stay in the air and also adding additional safety features.

 

The target market will be government, private sector operators and individuals for a wide range of commercial, logistical and personal uses.  Astro is currently in the flight testing mode of its Passenger Drone Version 1.0, as well as in the development stages of its version 2.0 Passenger Drone model and Version 1.0 of its Cargo Drone model.

Growth Strategy for the Company

The Company is working with Infly Technology, Ltd., our design and manufacturing partner, who is leading the design and development team with responsibility for developing the team as well as building the new prototypes for the two new aircraft models. The Company applied for approval to test the Passenger Drone 1.0 version in Canada in order to display new software, avionics and stability. The Company received an SFOC (Special Flight Operations Certificate) from Transport Canada in September 2018, allowing Astro to take to the sky, and put the Passenger Drone 1.0 “Elroy” through critical elements of integrated flight testing. The testing culminated on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 with a 4 minute and 30 second flight, reaching heights of over 60 feet and speeds of over 50 km/h. The avionics and flight control systems were put to task with a multitude of maneuvers and the vehicle remained exceptionally stable, even under the effects of a couple of unexpected wind gusts.

 

The Company's newest prototype focuses on a multitude of applications including passenger transport, cargo delivery, ambulance and med-evac services, rescue and disaster assistance, military, and B2B. Its newly designed modular structure allows the Astro Top Frame (ALTA) to fly independently, as well as in combination with the individually designed "Astro Pods" for the specific need in that specific industry. A fly-in and pick-up system will allow the vehicle to connect, fly, disconnect and repeat, effectively and efficiently, changing from one application to the next. We refer to it as the Swiss Army Knife of the eVTOL world.

 

Along with recent Avionics and Control system upgrades this modularity opens the door to the evergrowing opportunities that (eVTOL) electric take-off and landing short haul vehicles bring.  

 

The Company anticipates the new prototype to be completed and flying by the end of the second quarter, 2021. We have completed the engineering and firmware for the prototype and are now in development of the body for the new prototype.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement with Confida Aerospace Ltd.

On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Confida Aerospace Ltd. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased in-process research and development (“IPRD”) consisting of inventory, hardware designs, software designs, and a trademark all pertaining to passenger drone design and use from Confida Aerospace Ltd. As consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Confida Aerospace Ltd., 10,000 of the registrant’s Series B preferred shares. Each preferred share is convertible into 1,333 common shares and 1,333 warrants. Each warrant is exercisable into one of the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of $.75. The warrants have an exercise period of five years upon conversion. Additionally, the Company assumed $25,000 of debts incurred by Confida Aerospace Ltd. related to drone development.

 

Competition

The Company is currently a research and development company focused on the creation of aerial drones for use in carrying passengers or cargo.  It is expected that research and development will continue for at least two years, at which point we will seek out a joint venture to help manufacture the design.  Once the research and development is complete, we intend to supply our products to a variety of industries, such as government, military, and for private use.  The cargo drone is intended to be the first available product.

 

Our prime competitors are Volocopter, a German company, and Ehang, a Chinese company, which are both developing manned eVTOL craft.  Our primary competitive advantage is our proprietary avionics and control systems.  Currently, we have a working prototype that has flown while manned, and testing has shown that the design is very stable.

 

Change of Control/Discontinued Operations

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, majority stockholders controlled by Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, sold 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB Global Limited (“MAAB”), a non-affiliate of the Company, paid from Bruce Bent, officer and director of MAAB’s personal


17


funds resulting in a change of control of the Company.  The stock was transferred to MAAB effective March 14, 2018.  The 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares represented 62.35% and 100% of the then issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company, respectively.

 

On April 30, 2018, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 16, 2018, the Company exchanged all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries, for 13,668,900 common shares of the Company held by the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence & Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company. The Board of Directors subsequently authorized the cancellation of those common shares.  After said cancellation, the total issued and outstanding common shares was 69,270,060.  The Share Exchange Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and written consent of shareholders holding 62.35% of the voting securities of the Company as of April 16, 2018.

 

The Company’s discontinued operation, Custom Pool, historically was a full-service pool maintenance, resurfacing and repair company whose main service area is the Martin, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties of Florida.  The Company earned revenue by charging service fees in the pool service business and by payments under contracts in the pool resurfacing business.  The Company managed its operating margins of the businesses by controlling personnel costs, chemical and material purchases and other service costs such as motor vehicle and insurance costs.  Personnel were critical to the business since customers choose those companies who have the most experience and perform the service in a timely and professional manner.

 

Custom Pool competed in its markets on the basis of price and the quality of the service.  There are many pool service companies in the market and throughout Florida.  However, this also presented an opportunity for the Company since many of its competitors are smaller and lack the infrastructure and depth of the Company.  This allowed the Company to compete through offering a larger range of services with a lower cost structure and to pursue growth opportunities either through internal growth or through opportunistic acquisitions.

 

Employees

As of June 10, 2020, we do not have any full or part time employees who are not executive officers.

 

Properties

The Company is currently using office space at 320 W. Main Street, Lewisville, TX 75057 for corporate management.  This office space consists of 4,700 square feet and is provided for the Company’s use rent-free by Bruce Bent, the Company’s CEO.  In addition, we have 1,500 square feet allocated to our use at Infly Technology, Ltd. at their offices at 20 Fasken Dr., Etobicoke, ON, Canada M9W 1K6 for purposes of research and development.  We do not pay rent for this space, and the lease terms for both properties are currently indefinite.

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common shares since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Instead, we will retain any earnings for use in our business.  This policy will be reviewed by our board of directors from time to time in light of, among other things, our earnings and financial position.

 

No distribution may be made if, after giving it effect, we would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless the articles of incorporation permit otherwise) the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.  


18


The board of directors may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibitive either on consolidated financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances or on a fair valuation of other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.

 

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Recent Events

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets as well as the global financial markets. Governments have imposed laws requiring social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and these laws may limit access to the Company’s facilities, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact the Company’s operations, financial condition and demand for the Company’s goods and services, but the Company’s overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it has affected the Company’s efforts to comply with filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s business, customers, and stockholders may experience a significant negative impact. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to move forward with our operations and has negatively affected our ability to timely comply with our ongoing filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s discontinued operation, Custom Pool, historically was a full-service pool maintenance, resurfacing and repair company whose main service area is the Martin, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties of Florida.  The Company earned revenue by charging service fees in the pool service business and by payments under contracts in the pool resurfacing business.  The Company managed its operating margins of the businesses by controlling personnel costs, chemical and material purchases and other service costs such as motor vehicle and insurance costs.  Personnel were critical to the business since customers choose those companies who have the most experience and perform the service in a timely and professional manner.


20


Custom Pool competed in its markets on the basis of price and the quality of the service.  There are many pool service companies in the market and throughout Florida.  However, this also presented an opportunity for the Company since many of its competitors are smaller and lack the infrastructure and depth of the Company.  This allowed the Company to compete through offering a larger range of services with a lower cost structure and to pursue growth opportunities either through internal growth or through opportunistic acquisitions.

 

Plan of Operations

Management will expand the business through further investment of capital provided by the controlling shareholder and through additional capital raises from third party investors. The Company raised an additional $1.2 million of cash in November 2018 through the issuance of an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,383,636. The first tranche of $600,000 was received in November 2018 and the second tranche of $600,000 was received in February 2019. In December 2019, the Company raised an additional $125,000, in the first tranche, through the issuance of a new 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $575,682.

 

On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the same investor who provided the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the investor agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to the investor in each put notice shall not exceed the lesser of $500,000 or one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put. In 2019, no funds were raised by the Company, and no stock issued, under the Equity Purchase Agreement. Through June 10, 2020, the Company raised $63,664 through the Equity Purchase Agreement by selling 1,050,000 shares of its common stock to the investor.

 

In April 2020, the Company amended the MAAB Promissory Note to increase the maximum principal amount to $1,250,000 and to extend the maturity date to February 28, 2022.

 

The Company will continue to keep expenses as low as possible with closely monitoring working capital, development cost and schedule, while the Company continues the development of Passenger Drone Version 1.0 and 2.0.

 

Results of Operations

The Year Ended December 31, 2019 compared to The Year Ended December 31, 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any revenue. It is developing an eVTOL aircraft and expects that it will be marketing the aircraft sometime in 2021. Astro did incur $1,147,261 in operating expenses, which the majority of the expenses was from $232,084 in sales and marketing and $545,639 in research and development. There was also $369,538 in general and administrative expenses. Other expenses were $1,157,812 and consisting mainly of banking and financing fees and interest expense. The interest expense of $1,316,407 includes $1,191,894 of amortization of the debt discount. Other expense was offset by $178,394 in miscellaneous income, all of which came from the disgorgement of short swing profits under Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.The Company expects to incur operating losses until the eVTOL aircraft is marketable and has passed government and safety regulations.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any revenue. It is developing an eVTOL aircraft and expects that it will be marketing the aircraft sometime in 2021. Astro did incur $7,436,347 in operating expenses, which the majority of the expenses was from an impairment of the assets acquired from Confida Aerospace of $6,285,214. The impairment expense was reduced by $25,000 due to a reduction of assumed accrued expenses as the expenses were incurred. The Company also incurred $901,857 in research and development expenses from the design and engineering of the eVTOL aircraft. There was $249,276 in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Other expenses were $331,185 and consist of banking and financing fees and interest expense, offset by an adjustment to prepaid corporate taxes. The Company expects to incur operating losses until the eVTOL aircraft is marketable and has passed government and safety regulations.

Discontinued Operations

The discontinued operations of Custom Pool are not comparable in the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 since Custom Pool was sold on April 30, 2018 and therefore only had operations in the 2018 period. Custom Pool had a pre-tax income of $178,300 on revenue of $1,786,911 during the year ended December 31, 2018.  The pre-tax income is a result of revenue at the resurfacing business having rebounded from a poor fourth quarter in 2017. This also improved the operating margin. Some of the improvement was offset in general and administrative expenses due to higher compensation and more employees hired in the office. Additionally, this created a higher allocation of employee expenses, such as health and workers compensation insurance.

 

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $2,305,073 for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus a net loss of $7,626,599 for the year ended December 31, 2018, largely comprised of the eVTOL aircraft operations. The reduction in the loss between 2019 and 2018 is largely due to the impairment expense of $6,285,214 incurred in 2018. The reduction is also due to the short swing profit disgorgement of income of $178,394 during 2019. This was offset somewhat by the increase in interest expense from the $1,383,636 principal amount of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued on November 21, 2018 and the interest expense from the issuance of a new 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued in December 2019 in the principal amount up to $575,682. The first tranche had a principal amount of $149,546. There was also an undeclared preferred dividend of $10,000, in both the 2019 and 2018 periods, which made the net loss available to common stockholders of $2,315,073 in 2019 and $7,636,599 in 2018.

 

The Company also had a foreign currency translation loss of $42,802 from the difference in the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rates, which produced a comprehensive loss of $2,347,875 for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the comparable 2018 period, Astro had a foreign currency translation gain of $22,704 which produced a comprehensive loss of $7,603,895.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company currently is not profitable and must finance its business through raising additional capital. The Company is financed through its parent, MAAB, which has loaned the Company $750,017 and there is $499,983 available under the terms of the note through December 31, 2019. The note was amended on April 22, 2020 to increase the maximum principal amount to $1,250,000 and to extend the maturity to February 28, 2022.

 

The Company also raised an additional $1.2 million of cash in November 2018 through the issuance of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,383,636. The first tranche of $600,000 was received in November 2018 and the second tranche of $600,000 was received in February 2019. On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a new 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $575,682. The initial tranche principal of $149,546 was issued, and the Company received $125,000 in proceeds.

 

On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the same Investor who provided the funding with the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement. In 2019, no funds were raised by the Company, and no stock issued, under the Equity Purchase Agreement. Through June 10, 2020, the Company raised $63,664 through the Equity Purchase Agreement by selling 1,050,000 shares of its common stock to the investor.

Further capital support will come from the parent, and additional capital from third party sources. There is no assurance that the third party capital will be available. In the event that additional capital from the private or public markets is not available, the Company will need to reduce its spending on development and operations to the level of the capital that is available from the parent.

 

The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company had a net loss of $2,305,073, and used $950,546 cash in operations, and at December 31, 2019, had negative working capital of $921,829, current assets of $62,299, and an accumulated deficit of $10,316,875. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating the Company’s technologies. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company has Net Operating Losses (“NOL”) for tax purposes due to the net losses through the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company has taken a 100% income tax valuation allowance against it resulting in no deferred tax asset. At this time, it is not known if the Company will become profitable with the ability to use the NOL.

 

The Company expects to spend $250,000 in the next six months and then another $1,000,000 in the subsequent six months on the development of the eVTOL aircraft.

 

In December 2015, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a $0.0001 par value. The Series A Preferred has an 8% dividend paid quarterly and is convertible into one share of common stock. The Series A Preferred is senior to the common stock as to dividends, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred also has certain voting and registration rights.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, sold all 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB, a non-affiliate of CPSM, Inc.

 

On March 14, 2018, 1,500,000 stock options were cancelled and two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with a six month maturity were issued to the former option holders. The principal amount was $25,000 each and there was no prepayment penalty. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s common stock based upon the average of the previous ten trading days’ closing price of the stock, at the maturity date of the Notes. Upon conversion of the notes, Bruce Bent or MAAB had the option to purchase the common stock issued at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock over the previous 10 trading days. The option to purchase expired ten days after the issuance of the common stock.

 

On September 18, 2018, at the maturity of the Notes, the entire outstanding balance was converted into 38,886 shares of common stock of the Company, which included $2,534 of accrued interest. The Company issued the shares of common stock on October 22, 2018.

 

On May 4, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized 10,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred is entitled to a dividend, when declared by the Board of Directors, votes with all other classes of stock as a single class of stock on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company, and each share of Preferred is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 1,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. On May 8, 2018, the Company issued all of the 10,000 authorized Series B Preferred shares in the acquisition of certain assets from Confida Aerospace Ltd.

On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited, the parent of Astro, issued a Promissory Note for monetary advances to the Company of up to $750,000. The Promissory Note matures on February 28, 2021. The Promissory Note has an interest rate of 10%, compounded monthly. On April 22, 2020, the Promissory Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount to $1,250,000 and to extend the maturity to February 28, 2022.

 

Interest accrues on the principal amount or portion thereof which remains unpaid from time to time as well as any interest outstanding, from the date the principal amount is advanced until and including the date upon which the principal amount and all interest due under this promissory note shall be fully paid. The principal amount advanced under the Promissory Note is $750,017 through December 31, 2019. The Company has accrued interest expense of $89,797 at December 31, 2019.

 

On November 21, 2018, the Company issued an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,383,636 in exchange for a total investment of $1,200,000, less commissions and expenses, payable in two tranches. The first tranche was payable upon the closing of the agreement, and the second tranche was payable within ten (10) business days of the Investor receiving written notice confirming the effectiveness of the initial registration statement. The first tranche principal of $701,818 was issued, with an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $81,818, a $20,000 financing fee for the lender’s transactional expenses that was expensed and the Company received proceeds of $600,000. Each tranche matured six months after the issue date. The Company also received the second tranche of $600,000 in February 2019.

 

The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company is subject to certain penalties if the shares are not issued within two business days of receiving the conversion notice. Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the Investor, the Company has granted to the Investor a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of the Notes. The Company must reserve a number of shares equal to 500% of the total amount of shares issuable upon full conversion of the promissory note. The Company meets this requirement since it has 250,000,000 common shares authorized and as of June 10, 2020, 88,882,955 common shares available to be issued.

 

As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued 156,250 shares of its common stock to the Investor, valued at $89,531 at the date of issuance, plus warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. Upon the closing of the second tranche in February 2019, the Company issued additional warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 421,656 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share.  Each Warrant is exercisable by the Investor beginning on the Effective Date through the fifth year anniversary thereof.

 

The Note has a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) for both tranches, which were valued, along with the warrants, on a relative fair value method. In the first tranche, the warrant fair value was $171,121 and the beneficial conversion feature fair value was $523,326 for a total debt discount of $694,447. The exercise price was $0.375 per share which converts into 1,871,515 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.573 per share and the effective conversion price was calculated as $0.293, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.280 per share valuing the BCF at $523,326.

 

However, adding the OID and the inducement shares to the debt discount, made final total debt discount $865,796, larger than the principal amount of the Note. Consequently, $163,978 of the debt discount was expensed. Additionally, $108,886 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, with an additional $534,682 amortized to interest in the year ended December 31, 2019, bringing the debt discount to $58,250 at December 31, 2019.

 

In the second tranche, the warrant fair value was $121,320 and the BCF fair value was $403,689 for a debt discount of $525,009. The exercise price was $0.2475 per share which converts into 2,754,820 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.35 per share and the effective conversion price was calculated as $0.204, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.146 per share valuing the BCF at $403,689.


24


Including the $81,818 of OID, the total debt discount is $606,827. Prior to the forbearance agreement dated September 11, 2019, $498,402 of the debt discount was amortized into interest expense, bringing the debt discount to $108,425. However, the forbearance agreement increased the principal amount, and the debt discount, which were allocated to the second tranche, so there was a net increase in the principal and the debt discount in the second tranche of $257,135 (See Note 10, “Default and Forbearance on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note”). Additional amortization of the debt discount into interest expense in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019 was $117,986 bringing the debt discount to $230,843 at December 31, 2019.

 

On February 22, 2019, the Investor converted $55,387 in principal amount of the Note into 215,054 shares of the Company’s common stock. Likewise, on March 19, 2019, the Investor converted $38,633 in principal amount of the Note into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. However, the conversion share calculation was incorrect for the March 19, 2019 conversion of the $38,633 in principal amount of the Note and the actual shares issued for the conversion were 26,712 shares less than what it should have been. These shares were added to a subsequent conversion in April 2019.

 

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Investor converted $449,397 in principal amount of the Note into 1,830,373 shares of the Company’s common stock. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Investor converted $93,830 in principal amount of the Note into 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Investor converted $20,000 in principal amount of the Note into 491,099 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has accrued interest on the Note of $83,557 through December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate for both tranches of this Note was 8.33% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

On May 21, 2019, six months after the issuance of the first tranche of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Note matured with $307,798 in principal outstanding and approximately $24,118 in accrued interest. The Company was unable to repay the principal and accrued interest and therefore was in default of the Note. The Note has default provisions permitting default interest of 18% to be charged on the Note as well as to charge a default amount of 150% of the unpaid principal and interest.

 

The Note was issued with two $600,000 tranches of cash payments. Since both tranches are in one Note, both tranches are in default as of May 21, 2019.

 

The Company and the Investor promptly began negotiations on a Forbearance Agreement and on September 11, 2019, the Company and the Investor agreed to a Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Investor is willing to postpone pursuing its rights and remedies under the agreements, in particular and without limitation with respect to the acceleration of the promissory note and the immediate payment of the default amount and reduce the balance of the promissory note to the pre-default balance plus accrued non-default interest of $1,062,784 on the following terms:

 

1)    Subject to the Company’s compliance with the forbearance agreement, the forbearance shall commence on the effective date and will expire on June 30, 2020.  

2)    Should the Company fail to abide by any of the terms and conditions of the forbearance agreement, fail to comply with the terms of the other agreements, or fail to timely make the payments required under the promissory notes, or should the Company trigger an event of default, the forbearance period will immediately terminate.  

3)    Subject to the Company’s compliance with the forbearance period, the repayment of the promissory note will be reduced from 35% to 0%.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a new 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $575,682. The initial tranche principal of $149,546 was issued, with an OID of $17,046, the pro-rated portion of the $68,182 OID for the entire principal amount of $575,682, a $7,500 financing fee for the lender’s transactional expenses that was expensed and the Company received proceeds of $125,000. The Note will mature on June 2, 2020.


25


 

The Note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date, which created a BCF valued at greater than the total principal amount of the Note issued of $149,546. The exercise price was $0.0375 per share which converts into 3,987,880 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.13 per share and the effective conversion price was calculated as $0.0375, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.0925 per share valuing the BCF at $368,879.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20-30-8, if the intrinsic value of the BCF is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the BCF shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument. Therefore, the BCF is limited to $132,500, which when added to the OID of $17,046 equals the principal amount of $149,546. The BCF is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

 

Amortization of the debt discount into interest expense was $24,093 for the year ended December 31, 2019, bringing the debt discount to $125,453 at December 31, 2019. The Company has accrued interest of $1,927 on the Note through the year ended December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate for this Note was 8.33% at December 31, 2019.

 

On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the same Investor who provided the funding with the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note. Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

On August 26, 2019, in connection with its entry into the Equity Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company committed to 600,000 Commitment Shares (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) to the Investor.  These shares are initially being issued pursuant to the Section 4(a)(2) exemption and will be registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Subsequent to the Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Commitment Shares, the Company renegotiated the payment to 300,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the Commitment Shares as of August 26, 2019 was $48,300. The fair value was entirely expensed in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not issued any stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement. Through June 10, 2020, the Company raised $63,664 through the Equity Purchase Agreement by selling 1,050,000 shares of its common stock to the investor.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis of its Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on- going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the valuation of our assets and contingencies. We believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our consolidated financial statements are based on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we would experience additional losses from the write-down of assets.

2014 Stock Awards Plan

In November 2014, the board of directors of Custom Pool approved the adoptions of a Stock Awards Plan. A total of 7,000,000 shares was authorized to be issued under the plan. For incentive stock options, at the grant date the stock options exercise price is required to be at least 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Plan permits the grants of common stock or options to purchase common stock. As plan administrator, the Board of Directors has sole discretion to set the price of the options. Further, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the plan.

 

On March 14, 2018, the Company cancelled all 3,250,000 outstanding stock options under the 2014 Stock Awards Plan, with 1,500,000 of the stock options exchanged for two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes with a six month maturity (see Note 11, “Convertible Promissory Notes” of the consolidated financial statements beginning on page 41). Consequently, there are 7,000,000 shares available for issuance at December 31, 2019.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification

We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts specified in Section 78 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit. Our articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of our directors or our shareholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent provided by the NRS.

 

The NRS provides that a Nevada corporation must indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, in which he or she was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation's articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any such limitation.

 

The NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director against any obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person's conduct was in the corporation's best interests and, in all other cases, his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  Our articles of incorporation and bylaws allow for such indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was judged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Any indemnification permitted in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding.


31


The NRS, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Nevada corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract. Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company to the full extent permitted by Nevada law.

 

Our articles of incorporation also provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or agent of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

 

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

AND MANAGEMENT

 

The table below sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of June 10, 2020, by:

 

All of our current directors and executive officers, individually; and 

All persons who beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. 

 

The beneficial ownership of each person was calculated based on 78,129,504 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 10, 2020.  The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. For example, a person has beneficial ownership of a share not only if he owns it in the usual sense, but also if he has the power (solely or shared) to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of the share. Beneficial ownership also includes the number of shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days, pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of notes, debentures or other indebtedness, but excludes stock appreciation rights. Two or more persons might count as beneficial owners of the same share. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of our common stock shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise set forth in the notes to the table. Unless otherwise noted, the address of the following persons listed below is c/o Astro Aerospace Ltd., 320 W. Main Street, Lewisville, TX 75057.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Transactions with Related Persons

On March 14, 2018, MAAB, the parent of Astro, issued a Promissory Note for monetary advances to the Company of up to $750,000. The Promissory Note matures on February 28, 2021. The Promissory Note has an interest charge of 10%, compounded monthly. Interest accrues on the principal amount or portion thereof which remains unpaid from time to time as well as any interest outstanding, from the date the principal amount is advanced until and including the date upon which the principal amount and all interest due under this promissory note shall be fully paid. The principal amount advanced under the Promissory Note was $591,439 through December 31, 2018 and $750,017 through December 31, 2019. The Company has accrued interest expense of $41,291 and $89,797 at December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. On April 22, 2020, the Promissory Note was amended to increase the principal amount and the maturity date.

 

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the Company must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of Company’s equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply.  Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year.  Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder.  Mr. Bruce Bent, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is currently up to date in meeting these requirements and has notified the Company that he is now compliant.  On August 30, 2019, pursuant to Section 16(a), Mr. Bent disgorged short swing profits of $178,394 to the Company, which was recorded as miscellaneous income and a reduction of the debt owed to MAAB, the parent of the Company.

 

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

Except as indicated under the heading “Transactions with Related Persons” above, there have been no transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.

 

Director Independence

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, which does not impose specific standards relating to director independence or the makeup of committees with independent directors or provide definitions of independence. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we determine the independence of our directors by reference to the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In accordance with such rules, the Board has determined that we do not have any independent directors. There were no transactions, relationships or arrangements not disclosed under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” of this report that were considered by the Board of Directors under the applicable independence definitions in determining that there are no independent directors.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

The following table details the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholder, and the number of shares that may be offered by the selling stockholder for resale under this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell up to 4,343,713 common shares from time to time in one or more offerings under this prospectus. Because the selling stockholder may offer all, some or none of the shares they hold,


34


and because, based upon information provided to us, there are currently no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after the offering can be provided. The selling stockholder has informed us that they are not registered broker-dealers and do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. Furthermore, the selling stockholder is not an affiliate of a broker-dealer. The following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares offered under this prospectus will be sold to parties unaffiliated with the selling stockholder.

 

This prospectus covers the resale of 4,343,713 common shares by the selling stockholder, comprised of the following: i) the 156,250 common shares we issued under the Purchase Agreement as Inducement Shares, ii) the 3,843,434 common shares issuable upon the conversion of the promissory note we issued to the selling stockholder on November 27, 2018 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and iii) the 344,029 common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants we issued to the selling stockholder on November 27, 2018 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue common shares to the selling stockholder to the extent that the selling stockholder would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common shares as determined in accordance with SEC rules.

 

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days.

1)Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to common shares.  Common shares subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other convertible securities but are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. 

2)This number represents i) the 156,250 common shares we issued under the Purchase Agreement as Inducement Shares, ii) the 3,843,434 common shares issuable upon the conversion of the promissory note we issued to the selling stockholder on November 27, 2018 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and iii) the 344,029 common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants we issued to the selling stockholder on November 27, 2018 pursuant to the Purchase Agreements.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue common shares to the selling stockholder to the extent that the selling stockholder would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common shares as determined in accordance with SEC rules. 

3)The amount and percentage of common shares that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering assume that they will sell all common shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. 

4)Based on 78,129,504 common shares issued and outstanding as of June 10, 2020.  All common shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholder is counted as outstanding for computing the percentage beneficial ownership of such selling stockholder.

Effective as of November 27, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company (the “selling stockholder”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the selling stockholder (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,383,636 in exchange for a total investment of $1,200,000, less commissions and expenses, payable in two tranches. The first tranche is payable upon the closing of the agreement, and the second tranche will be payable within ten (10) business days of the selling stockholder receiving written notice confirming the effectiveness of the initial registration statement.  This note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date.  These shares are to be issued within two (2) business days, with a daily $3,000 penalty for unissued shares.  Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the selling stockholder (the “Security Agreement”), the Company has granted to the selling stockholder a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of the Note. The Company reported the transaction in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.  The Company must reserve an amount of shares equal to 500% of the total amount of shares issuable upon full conversion of the promissory note.

 

As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued 156,250 shares of its common stock (the “Inducement Shares”) to the selling stockholder plus warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. Upon the closing of the second tranche investment, a number of additional warrants shall be issued equal to one quarter of the face value of the note divided by the exercise price, which shall be 110% of the volume weighted average price on the day prior to the second closing date. Each Warrant is exercisable by the selling stockholder beginning on the Effective Date through the fifth year anniversary thereof.  Any shares issued that do not currently fall under the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement will be issued under the Section 4(a)(2) or the Regulation 506 exemption.

 

The maturity date of the Notes is twelve months from the Effective Date. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum (with twelve months of interest guaranteed). The Notes may be prepaid in any amount, subject to the following prepayment penalties: (1) during the first 30 days after the Effective Date, any amount prepaid will be subject to a 10% prepayment penalty; (2) during the next 30 days thereafter, any amount prepaid will be subject to a 15% prepayment penalty; (3) during the next 30 days thereafter, any amount prepaid will be subject to a 25% prepayment penalty; and (5) any amount prepaid after the 90th calendar day after the Effective Date will be subject to a 35% prepayment penalty.

 

Should the Company reserve an insufficient amount of shares, fail to issue the shares in a timely manner, or fail to remove any restrictive legends on any shares issued, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the selling stockholder an amount equal to the default amount multiplied by two.  Should the Company default in any other way, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the selling stockholder an amount equal to 150% (plus an additional 5% per each additional event of default that occurs) multiplied by the then outstanding entire balance of the Note plus default interest, plus any amounts owed for failing to deliver the shares in a timely fashion together with costs such as legal fees and collection expenses.  Alternatively, should a default exist, the selling stockholder shall have the right to require the Company to immediately issue, in lieu of the default amount, common shares equal to the default amount divided by the lesser of 1) $0.50 per share or 2) the alternative conversion price equal to 55% of the lowest trading price in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date.

 

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the selling stockholder (the “Registration Rights Agreements”), the Company has agreed, among other things, to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Inducement Shares and any other shares issuable under the transaction documents and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective before February 25, 2018. The Company must amend the registration statement as necessary within ten (10) business days should any change to the total amount registered be required, with a non-completion penalty of liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance, but not less than $15,000.

The Company agrees not to effectuate a reverse split while the Note is outstanding.  Should the Company effectuate a reverse split during this time, they agree to pay liquidated damages of 30% of the outstanding principal balance of the note, payable in either a cash payment or as an addition to the balance of the note, or as a combination of both forms of payment.  This is in addition to any other rights the selling stockholder holds.

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Upon the date of this prospectus, there are 78,129,504 common shares outstanding, none of which may be freely traded without registration or an applicable exemption.  The common shares being registered pursuant to this registration statement shall be freely tradable upon the effective date of the registration statement until the termination of the offering, unless sold.

 

Any additional common shares issued in the future but not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission are restricted within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and are subject to the resale provisions of Rule 144.

 

At the present time, re-sales or distributions of such shares are provided for by the provisions of Rule 144.  That rule is a so-called "safe harbor" rule that, if complied with, should eliminate any questions as to whether or not a person selling restricted shares has acted as an underwriter.

 

Rule 144(d) (1) states that if the issuer of the securities is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a minimum of six months must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer, or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of such securities.

 

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to notice and manner of sale requirements and to the availability of current public information and must be made in unsolicited brokers' transactions or to a market maker.

 

A person who is not an affiliate of the registrant under the Securities Act during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned such shares for at least six months is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to the volume, notice, information and manner of sale provisions.  Affiliates must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144 when transferring restricted shares even after the six month holding period has expired and must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144 in order to sell unrestricted shares.

 

No predictions can be made of the effect, if any, that market sales of common shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time.  Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of our common shares could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common shares, as well as impair our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity securities.

 

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant as provided in the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED

STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

There is a limited public trading market for the common stock. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Market OTCQB under the symbol "ASDN", with quotations that commenced in October 2009; however, the market for common shares is extremely limited. No assurance can be given that the present limited market for our common stock will continue or will be maintained.

 

For any market that is maintained for our common stock, the resale of “restricted securities” pursuant to Rule 144 of the Commission by members of management or other persons may have a substantial adverse impact on any such public market.  Present members of management have already satisfied the one-year holding period of Rule 144 for public sales of a large portion of their holdings in the Company thereunder.

 

A minimum holding period of six months is required for resales under Rule 144. In addition, affiliates of the Company must comply with certain other requirements, including publicly available information concerning the Company; limitations on the volume of “restricted securities” which can be sold in any 90-day period; the requirement of unsolicited broker’s transactions; and the filing of a Notice of Sale on Form 144.

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low sales prices for our common stock for each of the fiscal quarters for the past two years as reported on the OTCQB. These prices represent inter-dealer prices without adjustments for mark-up, markdown, or commission and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions

Holders

As of June 10, 2020, we have approximately 41 shareholders of record of our common stock.  

 

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who has not been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

Dividend Policy

As of the date of this annual report, we have not paid any dividends to shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors

Astro Aerospace Ltd.

Lewisville, Texas:

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Astro Aerospace Ltd. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss stockholders' (deficit) equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $10,316,875 at December 31, 2019 and a loss from operations of $2,305,073 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and a working capital deficiency of $921,829 which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, the Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ASTRO AEROSPACE LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 And For The Years Then Ended

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Astro Aerospace Ltd. (“Astro” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a developer of self-piloted and autonomous, manned and unmanned, eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing) aerial vehicles. The Company intends to provide the market with a mainstream mode of everyday, aerial transportation for both humans and cargo. Astro currently has a working prototype and is making engineering and mechanical improvements to it.

 

Astro is the successor corporation to CPSM, Inc., which through its subsidiaries, Custom Pool and Spa Mechanics, Inc. (“Custom Pool and Spa”), and Custom Pool Plastering, Inc. (“CPP”) collectively (“Custom Pool”) were primarily engaged in the provision of full line pool and spa services, specializing in pool maintenance and service, repairs, leak detection, renovations, decking and remodeling.  The primary market area included Martin, Palm Beach, St Lucie, Indian River and Brevard counties, Florida.

 

On March 14, 2018, MAAB Global Limited (“MAAB”), the majority stockholder and parent of Astro, acquired control of CPSM, Inc. and on April 30, 2018, Custom Pool was sold to the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the CPSM (See Note 2, “Sale of Common Stock of Majority Stockholders and Resignation and Election of the Board of Directors” and Note 3, “ Sale of Custom Pool”).

 

On March 24, 2018 the articles of incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company from CPSM, Inc. to Astro Aerospace Ltd. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has one subsidiary, Astro Aerospace Ltd. (Canada), which is incorporated in Canada and is used mainly for refunds of the Goods and Services Tax in Canada.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company had a net loss of $2,305,073 and used $950,546 in cash in operations, and at December 31, 2019, had negative working capital of $921,829, current assets of $62,299, and an accumulated deficit of $10,316,875. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating the Company’s technologies. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company acknowledges that its current cash position is insufficient to maintain the current level of operations and research and development, and that the Company will be required to raise substantial additional capital to continue its operations and fund its future business plans. The Company has continued to raise funds through its parent, MAAB and the outstanding note payable balance was $750,017 and there is $499,983 available under the terms of the note at December 31, 2019. The note was amended on April 22, 2020 (See Note 20, “Subsequent Events”). The Company has also raised funds through independent capital sources, of which the Company has two 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the first of which has an outstanding balance of $983,524 at December 31, 2019 and the second of which has an outstanding balance of $149,546 at December 31, 2019. The first 8% Senior secured Convertible Note is subject to a forbearance agreement (See Note 10, “Default and Forbearance on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note”). The Company has also executed an Equity Purchase Agreement whereby the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. (See Note 16, “Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement”). Through May 29, 2020, the Company put 1,050,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.055 to $.081 per share for total proceeds of $63,664. Astro plans to raise additional capital in the private and public securities markets in 2020.

NOTE 2 – SALE OF COMMON STOCK OF MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS AND RESIGNATION AND ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, majority stockholders controlled by Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, sold 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB, a non-affiliate of the Company, paid from Bruce Bent, officer and director of MAAB’s personal funds resulting in a change of control of the Company.  The stock was transferred to MAAB effective March 14, 2018. The 51,711,571 common shares and 1,562,500 preferred shares represented 62.35% and 100% of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company, respectively.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence Calarco, Loreen Calarco and Charles Dargan II resigned as officers and directors of the Company. Additionally, on March 14, 2018, Jeffrey Michel and Randy Sofferman resigned as directors of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, Bruce Bent, age 62, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. He stood for re-election at the subsequent annual meeting of the shareholders. There are no material arrangements to which Mr. Bent is a party, and there is no family relationship between him and any other party connected to the Company.

 

 

NOTE 3 – SALE OF CUSTOM POOL

 

On April 30, 2018, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 16, 2018, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries, for 13,668,900 common shares of the Company held by the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust, an entity controlled by Lawrence Calarco and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company.  The Board of Directors subsequently authorized the cancellation of those common shares.  After said cancellation, the total issued and outstanding common shares was 69,270,060.  The Share Exchange Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and written consent of shareholders holding 62.35% of the voting securities of the Company as of April 16, 2018.

 

The Company determined that there would be no gain or loss on the sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 505-30-10, “Equity – Nonreciprocal Transfers with Owners”. Essentially the transaction is similar to a spin-off or reorganization since the Company acquired shares of its own common stock for the common shares of Custom Pool & Spa Mechanics, Inc. and Custom Pool Plastering, its wholly owned subsidiaries. As such, the transaction is accounted for at the recorded (book value) amount. The book value of the net assets was $876,440.

 

Custom Pool is presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements. The following is a reconciliation of the major line items constituting income of discontinued operations, net that are presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations:

NOTE 4 – ACQUSITION OF ASSETS FROM CONFIDA AEROSPACE, LTD.

 

On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Confida Aerospace Ltd. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased in-process research and development (“IPRD”) consisting of inventory, hardware designs, software designs, and a trademark all pertaining to passenger drone design and use from Confida Aerospace Ltd. As consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Confida Aerospace Ltd., 10,000 of the Company’s Series B preferred shares (See, Note 13, “Convertible Preferred Stock”).  Each preferred share is convertible into 1,333 common shares and 1,333 warrants.  Each warrant is exercisable into one of the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of $.75. The warrants have an exercise period of five years upon

conversion. Additionally, the Company assumed $50,000 of debts incurred by Confida Aerospace Ltd. related to drone development.

 

All of the authorized shares of the Series B Convertible Stock were issued for the assets and $50,000 of accrued liabilities were assumed. The fair market value of the preferred stock was $7,131,214 as determined by an independent third party valuation firm. The fair market value was arrived at using an equivalent conversion into the common stock of Astro, which is trading in the Over-The-Counter Market. Appropriate restrictions and marketability discounts were applied, including using the 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share. The fair value of the common stock equivalent was $3,753,271. As well, the warrants issued in conjunction with the common stock were valued using the Black Scholes Model. The inputs used were a 40 day volume weighted average price of $0.46 per share, exercise price of $0.75 per share, a ten year term, a risk free rate of 2.97%, a volatility of 51% and no dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants was $3,377,943.

 

The Company determined the fair value of the IPRD based on the fair market value of the consideration paid for the IPRD: 10,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and 1,333 common stock warrants. The drone prototype is in an early development stage and the fair value is not determinable using cash flow projections and such projections were not available. It is anticipated that the drone will be marketable and flying by the end of the second quarter of 2021 and at that time that cash flows are expected to commence.

NOTE 4 – ACQUSITION OF ASSETS FROM CONFIDA AEROSPACE, LTD., CONTINUED

 

Further analysis of the IPRD determined that the recoverability of the fair value carrying amount was not probable and an impairment expense of $6,310,214 was incurred to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to $871,000, which approximates cost.

 

As well, after the initial 90 day period for the assumption of liabilities, the Company determined that it would most likely only assume $25,000 of liabilities and has adjusted the consolidated financial statements accordingly. During 2018, the expenses related to the liabilities had been incurred and the impairment expense was reduced by $25,000 to $6,285,214.

 

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP).

 

Cash

 

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less or money market accounts held at financial institutions are considered to be cash. Substantially all of the cash is placed with one financial institution. From time to time during the year the cash accounts are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits of $250,000 in the event of non-performance by the institution, however, it is not anticipated that there will be non-performance.

 

Intangible Assets – Acquired In-Process Research and Development

 

Acquired in-process research and development consists of acquired drone technology and engineering and trademarks. The Company reviews the IPRD, which currently has an indefinite useful life, for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs creating the potential for impairment, until such time as the research and development efforts are completed or abandoned.  If the research and   development efforts are abandoned, the related costs will be written off in the period of such determination. If the research and development efforts are completed successfully, the related assets will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying products. The Company will amortize the cost of identified intangible assets using amortization methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. An impairment expense of $6,285,214 was incurred in the year ended December 31, 2018. An updated valuation by an independent third party was performed for the year ended December 31, 2019, and no further impairment expense was required.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company does not currently have any revenue. In discontinued operations, revenue was recognized when the pool service was completed and the collectability was reasonably assured. For pool resurfacing and remediation work, revenue was recognized at the time of completion of the job.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 And For The Years Then Ended

 

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of GAAP which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options and restricted stock issuances based on estimated fair values.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of stock-based awards is generally recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in operations.

 

Convertible Notes, Warrants and Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”)

 

The convertible note is recorded at its fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant. Further, the convertible promissory note is examined for any intrinsic BCF of which the convertible price of the note is less than the closing common stock price on date of issuance. If the relative fair value method is used to value the convertible promissory note and there is an intrinsic BCF, a further analysis is undertaken of the BCF using an effective conversion price which assumes the conversion price is the relative fair value divided by the number of shares the convertible debt is converted into by its terms. The BCF value is accounted for as equity.

 

Warrants issued with the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method. The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative and not qualify for equity treatment, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option model and recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”).

 

If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note.

 

The warrant and BCF relative fair values are also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory notes and as additional paid-in-capital. The discount on the convertible notes is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. At present, these equity features of the convertible promissory notes have recorded a discount to the convertible notes that is substantially equal to the proceeds received.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 And For The Years Then Ended

 

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

 

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP.  Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date.  If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized.  Management believes there are no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of December 31, 2019. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year, computed using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and the if converted method for convertible notes and preferred stock. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the net loss during the years. The common stock equivalents are comprised of stock options (cancelled as of March 14, 2018), convertible promissory notes and the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Further, the Company has presented its discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations”, which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations and the basic and diluted net earnings per share from discontinued operations in addition to the basic and diluted net loss per share.

NOTE 5 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss plus the foreign currency translation (loss) gain.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The translation of assets and liabilities for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is made at year end exchange rates, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the year transactions occurred.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to the fair values determined by using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the assets based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company has determined the appropriate level of the hierarchy and applied it to its financial assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no assets or liabilities carried or measured at fair value.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the impairment of IPRD. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make this estimate. Although considerable variability is likely to be inherent in this estimate, management believes that the amount provided is reasonable. This estimate is continually reviewed and adjusted if necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are reflected in operations.

 

 

NOTE 6 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the consolidated balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.  The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The ASU became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” to include share based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company evaluated the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but it does not have a material impact.

 

 

NOTE 7 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

 

 

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES

 

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, which specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

 

Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company's cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures its notes payable and loans in accordance with the hierarchy of fair value based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

NOTE 9 – 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On November 21, 2018, the Company issued an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,383,636 in exchange for a total investment of $1,200,000, less commissions and expenses, payable in two tranches. The first tranche was payable upon the closing of the agreement, and the second tranche was payable within ten (10) business days of the Investor receiving written notice confirming the effectiveness of the initial registration statement. The first tranche principal of $701,818 was issued, with an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $81,818, a $20,000 financing fee for the lender’s transactional expenses that was expensed and the Company received proceeds of $600,000. The second tranche was issued on February 12, 2019 in the principal amount of $681,818, with an OID of $81,818 and the Company received proceeds of $600,000. Each tranche matured 6 months after the issue date, the first tranche matured on May 21, 2019 and the second tranche matured on August 12, 2019 (See Note 10, “Default And Forbearance On The 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note”).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 And For The Years Then Ended

 

NOTE 9 – 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES, CONTINUED

 

The Note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company is subject to certain penalties if the shares are not issued within two business days of receiving the conversion notice. Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the Investor (the “Security Agreement”), the Company has granted to the Investor a security interest in its assets

 

 

to secure repayment of the Notes. The Company must reserve an amount of shares equal to 500% of the total amount of shares issuable upon full conversion of the promissory note. The Company meets this requirement since it has 250,000,000 common shares authorized and as of May 29, 2020, 88,882,955 shares available to be issued.

 

As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued 156,250 shares of its common stock to the Investor, valued at $89,531 at the date of issuance, plus warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. Upon the closing of the second tranche in February 2019, the Company issued additional warrants to acquire up to an aggregate amount of 421,656 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. Each Warrant is exercisable by the Investor beginning on the Effective Date through the fifth year anniversary thereof.

 

The Note has a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) for both tranches, which were valued, along with the warrants, on a relative fair value method. In the first tranche, the warrant fair value (See Note 15, “Warrants”) was $171,121 and the beneficial conversion feature fair value was $523,326 for a total debt discount of $694,447. The exercise price was $0.375 per share which converts into 1,871,515 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.573 per share and the effective conversion price was calculated as $0.293, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.280 per share valuing the BCF at $523,326.

 

However, adding the OID and the inducement shares to the debt discount, made final total debt discount $865,796, larger than the principal amount of the Note. Consequently, $163,978 of the debt discount was expensed. Additionally, $108,886 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, with an additional $534,682 amortized to interest in the year ended December 31, 2019, bringing the debt discount to $58,250 at December 31, 2019.

 

In the second tranche, the warrant fair value (See Note 15, “Warrants”) was $121,320 and the beneficial conversion feature fair value was $403,689 for a debt discount of $525,009. The exercise price was 0.2475 per share which converts into 2,754,820 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.35 per share and the effective conversion price was calculated as $0.204, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.146 per share valuing the BCF at $403,689.  Including the $81,818 of OID, the total debt discount is $606,827. Prior to the forbearance agreement dated September 11, 2019, $498,402 of the debt discount was amortized into interest expense, bringing the debt discount to $108,425. However, the forbearance agreement increased the principal amount, and the debt discount, which were allocated to the second tranche, so there was a net increase in the principal and the debt discount in the second tranche of $257,135 (See Note 10, “Default and Forbearance on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note”). Additional amortization of the debt discount into interest expense in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019 was $117,986 bringing the debt discount to $230,843 at December 31, 2019.

 

On February 22, 2019, the Investor converted $55,387 in principal amount of the Note into 215,054 shares of the Company’s common stock. Likewise, on March 19, 2019, the Investor converted $38,633 in principal amount of the Note into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. However, the conversion share calculation was incorrect for the March 19, 2019 conversion of the $38,633 in principal amount of the Note and was 26,712 shares less than what it should have been. These shares were added to a subsequent conversion in April 2019.

NOTE 9 – 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES, CONTINUED

 

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Investor converted $449,397 in principal amount of the Note into 1,830,373 shares of the Company’s common stock. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Investor converted $93,830 in principal amount of the Note into 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Investor converted $20,000 in principal amount of the Note into 491,099 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has accrued interest on the Note of $83,557 through December 31, 2019.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a new 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $575,682. The initial tranche principal of $149,546 was issued, with an OID of $17,046, the pro-rated portion of the $68,182 OID for the entire principal amount of $575,682, a $7,500 financing fee for the lender’s transactional expenses that was expensed and the Company received proceeds of $125,000. The Note will mature on June 2, 2020.

 

The Note is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the lowest market value in the thirty trading days prior to the conversion date, which created a BCF valued at greater than the total principal amount of the Note issued of $149,546. The exercise price was $0.0375 per share which converts into 3,987,880 common shares. The common stock price at the valuation date was $0.13 per share and the conversion price was calculated as $0.0375, so that the BCF was calculated to be $0.0925 per share valuing the BCF at $368,879.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20-30-8, if the intrinsic value of the BCF is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the BCF shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument. Therefore, the BCF is limited to $132,500, which when added to the OID of $17,046 equals the principal amount of $149,546. The BCF is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

 

Amortization of the debt discount into interest expense was $24,093 for the year ended December 31, 2019, bringing the debt discount to $125,453 at December 31, 2019. The Company has accrued interest of $1,927 on the Note through the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

 

NOTE 10 – DEFAULT AND FORBEARANCE ON THE 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

On May 21, 2019, six months after the issuance of the first tranche of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Note matured with $307,798 in principal outstanding and approximately $24,118 in accrued interest. The Company was unable to repay the principal and accrued interest and therefore was in default of the Note. The Note has default provisions permitting default interest of 18% to be charged on the Note as well as to charge a default amount of 150% of the unpaid principal and interest.

 

The Note was issued with two $600,000 tranches of cash payments. Since both tranches are in one Note, both tranches are in default as of May 21, 2019.

 

The Company and the Investor promptly began negotiations on a Forbearance Agreement and on September 11, 2019, the Company and the Investor agreed to a Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Investor is willing to postpone pursuing its rights and remedies under the agreements, in particular and without limitation with respect to the acceleration of the promissory note and the immediate payment of the default amount and reduce the balance of the promissory note to the pre-default balance plus accrued non-default interest of $1,062,784 on the following terms:

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 And For The Years Then Ended

 

NOTE 10 – DEFAULT AND FORBEARANCE ON THE 8% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE, CONTINUED

 

1) Subject to the Company’s compliance with the forbearance agreement, the forbearance shall commence on the effective date and will expire on June 30, 2020.  

2) Should the Company fail to abide by any of the terms and conditions of the forbearance agreement, fail to comply with the terms of the other agreements, or fail to timely make the payments required under the promissory notes, or should the Company trigger an event of default, the forbearance period will immediately terminate.

3) Subject to the Company’s compliance with the forbearance period, the repayment of the promissory note will be reduced from 35% to 0%.

 

The Company’s outstanding principal amount of the Note, after conversions, and the accrued interest as of the Forbearance Agreement date of September 11, 2019, was $805,649. The Forbearance Agreement for the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of $1,062,784 produces a forbearance penalty of $257,135. This amount increased both the principal balance of the Note and increased the debt discount by the same amount. The $257,135 penalty is being amortized over the new maturity of the Note, June 30, 2020, and resulted in a $97,747 amortization expense during the year ended December 31, 2019. The outstanding principal amount of the Note is $983,524 at December 31, 2019.

 

 

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On March 14, 2018, 1,500,000 stock options were cancelled and two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with a six month maturity were issued to the former option holders. The principal amount was $25,000 each and there was no prepayment penalty. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s common stock based upon the average of the previous ten trading days’ closing price of the stock, at the maturity date of the Notes. Upon conversion of the notes, Bruce Bent or MAAB had the option to purchase the common stock issued at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock over the previous 10 trading days. The option to purchase was set to expire ten days after the issuance of the common stock. The option was not exercised.

 

On September 18, 2018, at the maturity of the Notes, the entire outstanding balance was converted into 38,886 shares of common stock of the Company, which included $2,534 of accrued interest. The Company issued the shares of common stock on October 22, 2018.

 

 

NOTE 12 – PROMISSORY NOTE FROM MAAB

 

On March 14, 2018, MAAB, the parent of Astro, issued a Promissory Note for monetary advances to the Company of up to $750,000. The Promissory Note matures on February 28, 2021. The Promissory Note has an interest charge of 10%, compounded monthly. Interest accrues on the principal amount or portion thereof which remains unpaid from time to time as well as any interest outstanding, from the date the principal amount is advanced until and including the date upon which the principal amount and all interest due under this promissory note shall be fully paid. The principal amount advanced under the Promissory Note was $591,439 through December 31, 2018 and $750,017 through December 31, 2019. The Company has accrued interest expense of $41,291 and $89,797 at December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. On April 22, 2020, the Promissory Note was amended to increase the principal amount and the maturity date (See Note 20, “Subsequent Events”).

NOTE 14 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

In December 2015, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a $0.0001 par value and no liquidation value. The Series A Preferred has an 8% dividend paid quarterly and is convertible into one share of common stock. The Series A Preferred is senior to the common stock as to dividends, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred also has certain voting and registration rights.

 

In January 2016, the Company issued 1,562,500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, former officers and directors of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2018, Lawrence and Loreen Calarco, officers and directors of the Company, the Lawrence & Loreen Calarco Family Trust and the Lawrence and Loreen Calarco Trust of June 3, 2014, sold all 1,562,500 preferred shares to MAAB, a non-affiliate of CPSM, Inc. Cumulative undeclared Series A Preferred dividends were $17,500 at December 31, 2019.

 

On May 4, 2018, the Board of Directors of Astro Aerospace Ltd. authorized 10,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred is entitled to a dividend, when declared by the Board of Directors, votes with all other classes of stock as a single class of stock on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company, and each share of Preferred is convertible into 1,333 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 1,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. On May 8, 2018, the Company issued all of the 10,000 authorized Series B Preferred shares in the acquisition of certain assets from Confida Aerospace Ltd.

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall share pro rata with the holders of the common stock, on an as if converted basis.

 

 

NOTE 15 – WARRANTS

 

As part of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issuance, the Company issued warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 344,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. These warrants were fair valued using the Black Scholes Model with the following inputs: stock price on November 21, 2018, date of issuance, $0.57, strike price $0.51, time to expiration, five years, five year Treasury constant maturity rate, 2.33%, volatility 253% and no dividend yield.

NOTE 16 - EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the same Investor who provided the funding with the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note. Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have the discretion to deliver put notices to the Investor and the Investor will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to the Investor in each put notice shall not exceed the lesser of $500,000 or one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Investor that would result in the Investor’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock exceeding 9.99%. The price of each put share

shall be equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the Market Price (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement). Puts may be delivered by the Company to the Investor until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor has purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, (ii) August 26, 2022, or (iii) written notice of termination delivered by the Company to the Investor, subject to certain equity conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

On August 26, 2019, in connection with its entry into the Equity Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company committed to 600,000 Commitment Shares (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) to the Investor.  These shares are initially being issued pursuant to the Section 4(a)(2) exemption and will be registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Subsequent to the Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Commitment Shares, the Company renegotiated the payment to 300,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the Commitment Shares as of August 26, 2019 was $48,300. The fair value was entirely expensed in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has not issued any stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall (i) file with the Commission the Registration Statement by November 25, 2019; and (ii) use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission at the earliest possible date (in any event, within 120 days after the execution date of the definitive agreements). The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Commission on November 25, 2019 and the S-1 was declared effective on December 27, 2019.

 

 

NOTE 17 – 2014 STOCK AWARDS PLAN

 

In November 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved the adoptions of a Stock Awards Plan. A total of 7,000,000 shares was authorized to be issued under the plan. For incentive stock options, at the grant date the stock options exercise price is required to be at least 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Plan permits the grants of common stock or options to purchase common stock. As plan administrator, the Board of Directors has sole discretion to set the price of the options. Further, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the plan.

 

On March 14, 2018, the Company cancelled all 3,250,000 outstanding stock options under the 2014 Stock Awards Plan, with 1,500,000 of the stock options exchanged for two 10% Convertible Promissory Notes with a six month maturity (see Note 11, “Convertible Promissory Notes”). Consequently, there are 7,000,000 shares available for issuance at December 31, 2019.

NOTE 20 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, CONTINUED

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets as well as the global financial markets. Governments have imposed laws requiring social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and these laws may limit access to the Company’s facilities, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact the Company’s operations, financial condition and demand for the Company’s goods and services, but the Company’s overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it has affected the Company’s efforts to comply with filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s business, and stockholders may experience a significant negative impact.
