Nature of Business

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (“PASSUR” or the “Company”), a New York corporation founded in 1967, is a leading business intelligence company, providing predictive analytics and decision support technology for the aviation industry primarily to improve the operational performance and cash flow of airlines, airports, fixed based operators (FBOs) and air navigation service providers (ANSPs). The Company provides a cloud-based platform, ARiVA™, that manages and optimizes operations for its customers. PASSUR uses big data, within the aviation intelligence platform and a suite of web-based solutions that address the aviation industry’s intractable and costly challenges, including, but not limited to, the underutilization of airspace and airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions.

PASSUR’s mission is to improve global air traffic efficiencies by connecting the world’s aviation professionals onto a single aviation intelligence platform, making PASSUR an element in addressing the aviation industry’s system-wide inefficiencies. It is an aviation intelligence company that makes air travel more predictable, gate-to-gate, by using predictive analytics to mitigate constraints for airlines, airports and their customers.

PASSUR delivers digital solutions that are essential to global aviation operations, meeting the needs of global air travel as well as supporting the recovery of the aviation industry from the COVID-19 crisis. The structure and execution of operations within the aviation industry has fundamentally changed as a result of this crisis due to the significant change in the economics required to support current conditions, a return to normal operations and profitability.

PASSUR continues to be a pioneer applying artificial intelligence powered by machine learning to aviation data, addressing the industry’s most costly challenges, including the management and optimization of airspace, airport assets, aircraft, and day of flight operations.

PASSUR’s information solutions are used by airlines and airports in the United States as well as in Latin America. PASSUR provides data aggregation and consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services. Solutions offered by PASSUR help to ensure flight completion, covering the entire flight life cycle, from gate to gate, and result in reductions in overall costs and carbon emissions, while helping to maximize revenue opportunities, as well as improving operational efficiency and enhancing the passenger experience.

PASSUR’s commercial solutions give aviation operators the ability to optimize performance in today’s air traffic management system, while also achieving Next Generation Air Transportation System (“NextGen”) and Single European Sky ATM Research objectives.

PASSUR integrates data from multiple sources. Certain of PASSUR’s services traditionally relied on its proprietary network of sensors for aircraft surveillance. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, in light of the FAA's mandate for ADS-B equipage on aircrafts operating in most U.S. airspace, effective January 2020, and parallel adoption of ADS-B requirements in much of the world, the Company performed a comprehensive review of its data feeds, specifically those associated with the PASSUR Network units, and external ADS-B data feeds to determine if these external data feeds provide sufficient redundant data as to that generated from the existing PASSUR installations. The Company determined that such services could be powered by a combination of FAA data plus commercial ADS-B aggregator feeds and other data feeds available to the Company, which would provide a more cost-effective solution and allow the Company to focus more on value-added analytics, and less on sensor technology. In this regard, the Company reviewed and decommissioned approximately half of its PASSUR Network system assets during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. As a result, the Company wrote off the total net book value of the net assets applicable to the PASSUR Network systems of approximately $3,565,000, and lease assets applicable to these PASSUR locations of approximately $175,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which amounts are included in the impairment charge for the year ended October 31, 2020. The write-off amount included PASSUR System and SMLAT System assets as well as inventory of finished and spare parts. The Company essentially completed the decommissioning process during fiscal year 2021.

Liquidity

The Company’s current assets exceeded current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue and certain CARES Act grant proceeds described in “Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic”, below), by $264,000 as of October 31, 2021. The Company also expended cash in operating activities of approximately $4.6 million and $1.4 million during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020. The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, with a maturity of November 1, 2023 (upon the execution of the Eighth Debt Extension Agreement), was $10,692,000 at October 31, 2021, which amount included additional loans made by Mr. Gilbert of $0 and $1,435,000 in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total amount owed at October 31, 2021 was composed of the principal balance of $9,585,000, plus capitalized accrued and unpaid interest of $1,107,000. The capitalized interest included $200,000 incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and all the fiscal 2020 interest of $907,000. The Company paid all interest that accrued during the fiscal 2021 year. The Company’s stockholders’ deficit was $11,042,000 at October 31, 2021. The Company had net income of $93,000 for the year ended October 31, 2021.

As described in more detail in Note 6, “Notes Payable – Related Party,” below, as of October 31, 2020, the total amount of principal and accrued interest owed by the Company under the promissory note issued by the Company to Mr. Gilbert on January 27, 2020 (the “Sixth Gilbert Note”) was $10,692,000. On January 29, 2021, the Company and Mr. Gilbert entered into a Seventh Debt Extension Agreement, effective January 29, 2021, pursuant to which the Company cancelled the Sixth Gilbert Note and issued Mr. Gilbert a new promissory note (the “Seventh Gilbert Note”) in the amount of $10,692,000, consisting of a principal of $9,585,000 (which included the principal of $8,670,000 outstanding under the Sixth Gilbert Note and an additional amount of $915,000 loaned to the Company by Mr. Gilbert during the period from January 27, 2020 to October 31, 2020) and unpaid interest of $1,107,000 accrued under the Sixth Gilbert Note through October 31, 2020 (which included unpaid interest of $401,000 accrued under a promissory note previously issued by the Company to Mr. Gilbert that was included in the Sixth Gilbert Note). Under the terms of the Seventh Gilbert Note, the Company agreed to pay the unpaid interest of $1,107,000 accrued under the Sixth Gilbert Note and included in the Seventh Gilbert Note (as described above) at the time and on the terms set forth in the Seventh Gilbert Note. Under the terms of the Seventh Gilbert Note, the maturity date of the loan is November 1, 2022, and the annual interest rate is 9 ¾%, with annual interest payments required to be made on October 31st of each year (although any accrued interest can be paid before such time without penalty). The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

As of October 31, 2021, the total amount of principal and accrued interest owed by the Company under the Seventh Gilbert Note was $10,692,000. During fiscal 2021, the Company made payments of accrued interest for fiscal 2021 under the Sixth Gilbert Note and the Seventh Gilbert Note in the amount of $1,057,000. Interest incurred in fiscal 2022 is anticipated to be paid monthly, and any unpaid and accrued interest is due October 31 in each year.

On January 26, 2022, the Company and Mr. Gilbert entered into an Eighth Debt Extension Agreement, effective as of January 26, 2022, pursuant to which the Company cancelled the Seventh Gilbert Note and issued Mr. Gilbert a new promissory note (the “Eighth Gilbert Note”) in the amount of $10,692,000. Under the terms of the Eighth Gilbert Note, the maturity date of the loan was extended to November 1, 2023, and the annual interest rate remained 9 ¾%, with annual interest payments required to be made on October 31st of each year (although any accrued interest can be paid before such time without penalty). The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted in March 2020, as well as subsequently enacted legislation, including the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “Rescue Act”), have provided economic support for, among others, businesses in the aviation industry. The Company has received grants under both the CARES Act and the Rescue Act (collectively referred to herein as “CARES Act grants”), totaling approximately $6,498,000, as described in more detail below. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $867,000 of stimulus funds available to offset future qualifying salaries, wages and benefits. The Company does not anticipate receiving any additional CARES Act grants subsequent to October 31, 2021. CARES Act grants are to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries, and benefits. The Company has used such proceeds for such purpose. The Payroll Support Program Agreement provides that the relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through the later of September 30, 2021, or the date on which the Company has expended all of the payroll support under the CARES Act grants, as well as other conditions including prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2022, and certain limitations on executive compensation. The Company believes that it has operated in compliance with all the provisions and requirements under the CARES Act and the Rescue Act during the two-year period ended October 31, 2021 and fully intends to continue to comply with all such provisions and requirements. Consequently, the Company has accounted for the advanced funds as grants not requiring repayment and recognized such amounts in income as qualifying salaries, wages and benefits have been incurred.

1.In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to receive an aggregate of $3,003,000 in emergency relief through the CARES Act Payroll Support Program (“PSP1”). The relief payments were received in three installments from July 2020 through September 2020. Pursuant to the Payroll Support Program Agreement, the relief payments must be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries and benefits. The Payroll Support Program Agreement also provides that the relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2020, as well as other conditions including prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2021, and certain limitations on executive compensation.

2.On February 12, 2021, the Company received an additional “top off” disbursement of $875,000 under PSP1, subject to the terms and conditions described above.

3.On March 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an award the Company received under the CARES Act Payroll Support Program (“PSP2”). The total amount awarded to the Company under PSP2 was approximately $1,310,000. The relief payments under PSP2 were received in two installments of approximately $655,000 each on March 8, 2021 and April 26, 2021. As with the original grant under PSP1, PSP2 proceeds are to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries, and benefits. The Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement provides that the relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through the later of March 31, 2021, or the date on which the Company has expended all of the payroll support, as well as other conditions including prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through March 31, 2022, and certain limitations on executive compensation.

4.On April 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program 3 Agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an award the Company received under the Rescue Act (PSP3”). The total amount awarded to the Company under PSP3 was approximately $1,310,000. The first installment, in the amount of approximately $655,000, was received by the Company on April 29, 2021. The second installment of approximately $655,000 was received by the Company on May 27, 2021. The Company does not anticipate any additional stimulus grant payments under the Payroll Support Programs. As with the original grants under PSP1 and PSP2, proceeds under PSP3 are to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries, and benefits. The Payroll Support program 3 Agreement provides that the relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through the later of September 30, 2021, or the date on which the Company has expended all of the payroll support under PSP3, as well as other conditions including prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2022, and certain limitations on executive compensation. The amount of unused stimulus funding as of October 31 2021 and 2020 was $856,000 and $1,934,000 (exclusive of $3,495,000 in grants received after October 31, 2020), respectively, and is shown in the balance sheet under current liabilities as Accrued Liabilities - Stimulus Funding.

If the Company’s business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company’s operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing on commercially reasonable terms. However, the Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated January 26, 2022, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through January 27, 2023, Mr. Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("Topic 606"). The Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled.

The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription-based, real-time decision and solution information and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

·Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

·Determination of transaction price;

·Allocation of transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

·Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

A.Nature of performance obligations

Subscription services revenue

Subscription services revenue is comprised of cloud-based subscription fees that provide the customer the right to access the Company’s software and receive support and updates, if any, for a period of time. The Company has determined such access represents a stand-ready service provided continually throughout the contract term. As such, control and satisfaction of this stand-ready performance obligation is deemed to occur over time. The Company’s subscription contracts include a fixed amount of consideration that is recognized ratably over the non-cancelable contract term, beginning on the date that access is made available to the customer. The passage of time is deemed to be the most faithful depiction of the transfer of control of the services as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company’s performance. Subscription contracts are generally one to three years in length, billed either monthly, quarterly or annually, typically in advance, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. The Company’s subscription contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days. There is no significant variable consideration related to these arrangements. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.

Professional services revenue

Professional services primarily consist of value assessments and customer training services. Payment for professional services is generally a fixed fee or a fee based on time and materials. The obligation to provide professional services is generally satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as the Company satisfies its

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

performance obligations. For professional services, revenue is recognized by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours, and as a practical expedient, progress for services that are contracted for time and materials is generally based on the amount the Company has the right to invoice. Professional services contracts are generally one year or less in length, billed either in advance, upon pre-defined milestones or as services are rendered, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. The Company’s professional service contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are typically due within 30 days.

Material rights

Contracts with customers may include material rights which are also performance obligations. Material rights primarily arise when the contract gives the customer the right to renew subscription services at a discounted price in the future. This may occur from time to time when the Company’s contracts provide an implicit discount as the customer pays a nonrefundable up-front fee in connection with the initial services contract that it does not have to pay again in order to renew the service. These non-refundable up-front fees are not related to any promised service that the customer benefits from other than providing access to the subscription service. Revenue allocated to material rights is recognized when the customer exercises the right over the estimated renewal period of five years or when the right expires. If exercised by the customer, the amount previously deferred for the material right is included in the transaction price of the renewal contract and allocated to the services included in that contract. If expired, revenue is recognized as subscription services revenue in the period the right expired. If the up-front fees do not provide the customer with a material right, then the amount is included in the transaction price of the initial services contract and allocated to the performance obligations in that contract.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple distinct performance obligations. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. The Company maximizes the use of directly observable transactions to determine the standalone selling prices for its performance obligations. For subscription services, the Company separately determines the standalone selling prices by type of solution and customer demographics. For professional services, the Company separately determines standalone selling price by type of services.

Other policies and judgments

The commissions that the Company pays for obtaining a contract with a customer are conditional on future service provided by the employee. Therefore, since these costs are not incremental solely based on obtaining a contract, the Company does not defer any commission costs.

B.Disaggregation

The disaggregation of revenue by customer and type of performance obligation is as follows:

	Year Ended	Year Ended
Revenue by type of customer:	October 31, 2021	October 31, 2020
Airlines	$ 816,000	$ 5,589,000
Airports	4,900,000	5,501,000
Other	441,000	439,000
Total Revenue	$ 6,157,000	$ 11,529,000

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

	Year Ended	Year Ended
Revenue by type of performance obligation:	October 31, 2021	October 31, 2020
Subscription services	$ 5,750,000	$ 10,936,000
Professional services	407,000	593,000
Total Revenue	$ 6,157,000	$ 11,529,000

C.Contract Balances

The opening and closing balances of the Company's accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:

	Accounts Receivable	Unbilled Receivable	Deferred Revenue
Balance at November 1, 2020	$ 609,000	$ 53,000	$ 1,423,000

Balance at October 31, 2021	$ 720,000	$ 89,000	$ 1,494,000

The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s unbilled receivable and deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment, along with lower levels of renewals in fiscal year 2021 compared with fiscal year 2020.

Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to customers for which the revenue recognition criteria has not yet been met. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the Company’s subscription services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. Deferred revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. The Company generally invoices its customers in monthly, quarterly or annual installments for subscription services. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not generally represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription arrangements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. The amount of revenue recognized during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at November 1, 2020 was $1,242,000.

Unbilled accounts receivable relates to the delivery of subscription and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period.

D.Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligation

The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and when the Company expects to recognize the revenue.

	12 months or less	Greater than 12 months *
Subscription services	$ 2,357,000	$ 1,025,000
Professional services	$ 162,000	$ -
Material rights	$ 76,000	$ 168,000

*Approximately 96% of subscription services and 84% of material rights are expected to be recognized between 12 and 36 months.

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The table above includes amounts billed and not yet recognized as revenue as well as, unrecognized future committed billings in customer contracts and excludes future billing amounts for which the customer has a termination for convenience right in their agreement.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date, through the date of issuance of the financial statements, for appropriate accounting and disclosure.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company records accounts receivables for agreements where amounts due from customers are contractually required and are non-refundable. The carrying amount of accounts receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Net accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective customer’s agreement. Account receivable balances include amounts attributable to deferred revenues. The Company’s accounts receivable balances included $89,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers during the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, which will be invoiced subsequent to October 31, 2021. As of October 31, 2020, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included $53,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers.

The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due from its customers under the original terms of its subscription agreements without making concessions. However, during fiscal year 2020, several customers requested, and the Company agreed to, the suspension of certain services to those customers, or the provision of services free of charge during a specified period of time. Additionally, one customer requested extended terms of payment, which the Company also accepted. The Company believes that these decisions were in the best interests of the Company as a partner to the aviation industry and will benefit the Company in the longer term. The Company continues to believe that its products and professional service engagements are critical to the efficient operation of the air transportation market.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $183,000 and $948,000 as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, and economic trends. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the provision is adequate.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the improvements or the term of the lease, including renewal options expected to be exercised, whichever is shorter.

PASSUR Network

The PASSUR Network was comprised of PASSUR and SMLAT Systems, which included the direct production, shipping, and installation costs incurred for each PASSUR and SMLAT System, which were recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was charged to cost of revenues and was recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which was estimated

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

at five years for SMLAT Systems and seven years for PASSUR Systems. PASSUR and SMLAT Systems which were not installed, raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods components were carried at cost and not depreciated until installed.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, in light of the FAA's mandate for ADS-B equipage on aircrafts operating in most U.S. airspace, effective January 2020, and parallel adoption of ADS-B requirements in much of the world, the Company performed a comprehensive review of its data feeds, specifically those associated with the PASSUR Network units, and external ADS-B data feeds to determine if these external data feeds provide sufficient redundant data as to that generated from the existing PASSUR installations. The Company determined that such services could be powered by a combination of FAA data plus commercial ADS-B aggregator feeds and other data feeds available to the Company, which would provide a more cost-effective solution and allow us to focus more on value-added analytics, and less on sensor technology. In this regard, the Company reviewed and decommissioned approximately half of its PASSUR Network system assets during the second quarter of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. As a result, the Company wrote off the total carrying value applicable to the PASSUR Network systems of approximately $3,565,000, and lease assets applicable to these PASSUR locations of approximately $175,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which amounts were included as an impairment charge for the year ended October 31, 2020. The write-off amount included PASSUR System and SMLAT System assets as well as inventory of finished and spare parts. The Company essentially completed the decommissioning process during fiscal year 2021.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software” (“ASC 350-40”). ASC 350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to maintain and support existing products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred. The Company records amortization of the software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three years within “Cost of Revenues”.

During the second quarter of 2020, due to the financial and economic hardships being experienced by the Company’s customers and air transportation support vendors in the current COVID-19 environment, there was a sufficient amount of uncertainty surrounding the ability of our customers to either renew and/or maintain their current levels of committed contracts with the Company. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company conducted a review of its customer contracts to determine whether an impairment had occurred. In order to determine whether or not an impairment had occurred, we looked at existing contracted revenue, adjusted for future uncertainties, and compared those amounts with the net carrying value of the related software development asset. Where the contracted revenue amount was less than the net carrying value of the software development asset, we noted an impairment. As a result, the Company wrote off previously capitalized software development costs totaling approximately $6,134,000 due to impairment, given the impact of the current COVID-19 environment on the aviation industry and its customers.

The total amount of these charges and write-offs of the PASSUR Network and capitalized software development costs are included as an impairment charge for the year ended October 31, 2020 totaling $9,874,000.

The Company did not capitalize any software development costs, as well as network and data center costs, subsequent to January 31, 2020. Given business conditions in the aviation industry surrounding the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s software efforts were concentrated in the areas of maintenance of existing products.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the asset’s revised life.

Cost of Revenues

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, amortization of previously capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Previously, cost of revenues in each reporting period was impacted by capitalized costs associated with software development and data center projects, and costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR and SMLAT Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications (all referred to as “Capitalized Assets”), depreciation of PASSUR and SMLAT Network Systems as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR and SMLAT Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each previous reporting period was impacted by the number of PASSUR and SMLAT System units added to the PASSUR Network, which included the production, shipment, and installation of these assets (largely installed by unaffiliated outside contractors), which had previously been capitalized to the PASSUR Network. The PASSUR Network was written off as of April 30, 2020, as described in more detail below. In prior periods, the labor and fringe benefit costs of the Company employees involved in creating Capitalized Assets were capitalized, rather than expensed, and amortized over three years, as determined by their projected useful life. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs as well as network and data center costs for any periods subsequent to January 31, 2020. Given business conditions in the aviation industry surrounding the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s software efforts were concentrated in the areas of maintenance of existing products.

As a result of the industry changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (described in “Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic”, below), the corresponding review conducted by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the resultant write-offs taken during fiscal 2020, the Company anticipates that its level of capitalized software development costs, including related amortization of such costs, will continue to decrease in the future.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the temporary differences in the tax bases of the assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount currently estimated to be realized. After weighing all available positive and negative evidence including cumulative losses in recent years, the Company continues to conclude that the more likely than not threshold for the realization of deferred tax assets has not been met.

The Company follows ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) where tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. At October 31, 2021, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. As permitted by ASC 740-10, the Company’s accounting policy is to prospectively classify accrued interest and penalties related to any unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Net Income/(Loss) per Share Information

Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.

Shares used to calculate net income/(loss) per share for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

	2021	2020
Basic Weighted average shares outstanding	7,712,091	7,710,561
Effect of dilutive stock options	39,897	-
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	7,751,988	7,710,561

Weighted average shares which are not included in the calculation of diluted net income/(loss) per share because their impact is anti-dilutive. These shares consist of stock options.	1,277,500	1,690,000

Weighted average options to purchase 1,277,500 and 1,690,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.28 to $4.50 per share that were outstanding during fiscal years 2021 and 2020, were excluded from each respective year’s computation of diluted earnings per share. In each of these years, such options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock, thereby causing the effect of such options to be anti-dilutive.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue includes amounts attributable to advances received or billings related to customer agreements, which are contractually required and are non-refundable, and may be prepaid either annually, quarterly, or monthly. Deferred revenues from such customer agreements are recognized as revenue ratably over the period that coincides with the respective agreement. The Company recognizes initial set-up fee revenues and associated costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash, receivables, and accounts payables approximate their fair values principally because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not practicable to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company’s related party debt is held by its significant shareholder and Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, and the Company does not have any third-party debt with which to compare.

Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairments. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present, and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock represents previously issued shares of the Company that are no longer outstanding and are excluded from the calculation of net income/(loss) per share. Treasury stock is recorded at cost. At October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company had 784,435 treasury shares at a cost of $1,934,000.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense was $223,000 and $467,000 for the year ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

The Company’s comprehensive income/(loss) is equivalent to that of the Company’s total net income/(loss) for fiscal years 2021 and 2020.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared COVID-19 a “pandemic” on March 11, 2020, and the U.S. government declared a national state of emergency on March 13, 2020. The U.S. government has implemented, at various times throughout 2020 and 2021, enhanced screenings, quarantine requirements and other travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. U.S. state governments also instituted similar measures at times, such as “shelter-in-place” requirements and declared states of emergency. In addition, the U.S. government has strongly recommended “social distancing” measures, and, during the initial stages of the outbreak, avoiding large gatherings and avoiding discretionary travel.

Government restrictions and consumer fears relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, while easing during the Company’s fiscal 2021 period, have nevertheless impacted flight schedules, given rise to a general reluctance of consumers to fly, and resulted in unprecedented cancellations of flights, substantially reducing demand for flights during fiscal 2020 and into fiscal 2021. The severe reduction in air travel during fiscal 2020 and 2021 negatively impacted the Company’s revenues for both years and is also anticipated to impact the first quarter of fiscal 2022 in terms of the Company’s revenue.

The CARES Act, enacted in March 2020, as well as subsequently enacted legislation, including the Rescue Act, have provided economic support for, among others, businesses in the airline industry. The Company has been granted government funds totaling $6.5 million pursuant to the various Payroll Support Programs for Air Carriers and Contractors under the CARES Act and the Rescue Act. Pursuant to the various Payroll Support Program Agreements entered into by the Company with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Company is required to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs, reducing employee rates of pay or benefits through the later of September 30, 2021, or the date on which the Company has expended all of the payroll support under the Payroll Support Programs, and paying dividends or engaging in share repurchases through September 30, 2022. The Payroll Support Program Agreements also require the Company to limit certain executive compensation through March 24, 2022, maintain certain internal controls and records relating to the CARES Act funds and comply with certain reporting requirements. The Company believes that it has operated in compliance with all the provisions and requirements under the CARES Act and the Rescue Act during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, and fully intends to continue to comply with all such provisions and requirements. Consequently, the Company has accounted for the advanced funds as grants not requiring repayment and recognized such amounts in income as qualifying salaries, wages and benefits have been incurred. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company reduced its compensation expense by $4,578,000 and $1,130,000, respectively, as CARES Act grant proceeds received by the Company were used to fund eligible payroll costs. If the Company does not comply with the provisions of the CARES Act, the Rescue Act and the Payroll Support Program Agreements, the Company may be required to repay the government funds and also be subject to other remedies.

Additionally, provisions under the CARES Act allow the Company to defer payment of the employer’s share of social security taxes incurred from March of 2020 through December 31, 2020. The amount of payroll taxes subject to deferred payment is approximately $139,000. Under the terms of the legislation, 50% of the deferred payroll taxes were due and payable by December 31, 2021, and the remaining 50% are due and payable by December 31, 2022.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, in response to the uncertainty surrounding the prospects of airlines and airports and the travel industry as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the declines in revenue that the Company began to experience during the same period, partly as a result of the pandemic, the Company reviewed its operating costs to more closely align those costs with its outlook for the foreseeable future. Beginning in April 2020 and prior to receiving CARES Act funds, the Company took several actions to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, as outlined below:

·Eliminated or furloughed approximately one-third of then-existing positions;

·Instituted a temporary pay reduction plan affecting essentially all of the then-remaining employees;

·Reduced the use of outside consultants;

·Rationalized the PASSUR Network to reduce data feed and telecom costs; and

·Reduced and/or eliminated other operating expenses that were not critical to the short-term outlook of the Company.

The effects of the actions above were reflected in lower costs of revenues, research and development and administrative costs in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, as compared to prior periods, and the Company anticipates that such cost savings will continue into fiscal 2022. However, if the recovery of the air transportation industry accelerates and revenue levels quickly return to pre-COVID-19 levels, these levels of cost savings may not be practicable or sustainable to support the operations necessary for the increased level of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the ASC and creates Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP on the balance sheet. On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities of $1,497,000 and $1,620,000, respectively. The Company did not have any finance lease ROU assets and liabilities. There was no change to our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows, as a result of the adoption.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes Topic 740-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of Topic 740. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of Topic 740 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Current Expected Credit Losses” (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduces an impairment model based on expected, rather than incurred, losses. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding (a) credit risk inherent in a portfolio and how management monitors the portfolio’s credit quality; (b) management’s estimate of expected credit losses; and (c) changes in estimates of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not yet quantified the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. However, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
