Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2018 and 2017

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RECAPITALIZATION

Nature of Operations

Novume Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “Novume”) was formed in February 2017 to effectuate the mergers of, and become a holding company for KeyStone Solutions, Inc. (“KeyStone”) and Brekford Traffic Safety, Inc. (“Brekford”). Our services are provided through seven wholly owned subsidiaries: AOC Key Solutions, Inc. (“AOC Key Solutions”); Firestorm Solutions, LLC and Firestorm Franchising, LLC (collectively referred to as “Firestorm”); Brekford; Global Technical Services, Inc. and Global Contract Professionals; Inc. (collectively referred to as “Global”); and Novume Media, Inc. (“Novume Media”).

For narrative purposes, Company and Novume references include AOC Key Solutions, Brekford, Firestorm and Global.

The financial statements for Novume prior to the merger with Brekford reflect the historical financial statements of KeyStone. The financial results of Brekford are included in the results of operations from August 28, 2017 through December 31, 2017. In this document, references to KeyStone are to KeyStone Solutions, Inc. prior to, and to KeyStone Solutions, LLC on and after, August 28, 2017 and references to Novume prior to August 28, 2017 are to KeyStone.

KeyStone was formed in March 2016 as a holding company for AOC Key Solutions, which is headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia. AOC Key Solutions provides consulting and technical support services to assist clients seeking U.S. Federal government contracts in the technology, telecommunications, defense, and aerospace industries.

On January 25, 2017, Novume acquired Firestorm (see Note 4), a nationally-recognized leader in crisis management, crisis communications, emergency response, and business continuity, including workplace violence prevention, cyber-breach response, communicable illness/pandemic planning, predictive intelligence, and other emergency, crisis and disaster preparedness initiatives. Firestorm is headquartered in Roswell, Georgia.

Brekford , headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, is a leading public safety technology service provider of fully-integrated automated traffic safety solutions, including speed, red light, move-over and distracted driving camera systems.

On October 1, 2017, Novume acquired Global (see Note 4). Global provides temporary contract professional and skilled labor to businesses throughout the United States. Contracts to provide such services vary in length, usually less than one year. Global’s corporate offices are located in Fort Worth, Texas.

On December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2018, respectively, Firestorm acquired certain assets of BC Management, Inc. (“BC Management”) and Secure Education Consultants, LLC (“Secure Education”) (see Note 4). Results of operations for both BC Management and Secure Education have been included in the financial statements of Novume since January 1, 2018.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novume, the parent company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries AOC Key Solutions, Inc., Brekford Traffic Safety Inc., Novume Media, Inc., Chantilly Petroleum, LLC, Firestorm Solutions, LLC, Firestorm Franchising, LLC, Global Technical Services Inc. and Global Contract Professionals, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. All necessary adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

Going Concern Assessment

Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

The Company has generated losses since its inception in August 2017 and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, issuance of debt and the sale of a note to provide cash for operations. The Company attributes losses to merger costs, public company corporate overhead and lower than expected revenue and lower gross profit of some of our subsidiaries. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.1 million and used approximately $1.8 million in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and a negative net working capital of $0.6 million.

No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.

We continue to seek additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising adequate funds needed. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. The Company will implement its contingency plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays unless operations improve in the look-forward period.

Uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future and thereafter, and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Without additional funds from debt or equity financing, sales of assets or other transactions yielding funds, we may exhaust our resources and may be unable to continue operations. Absent additional funding, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time.

As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern based on the outcome of these uncertainties described above.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Novume considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with the maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cash balances designated for client jurisdictions related to Brekford as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $820,538 and $641,103, respectively, and corresponds to equal amounts of related accounts payable.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its clients’ financial condition, and the Company generally does not require collateral.

Management reviews accounts receivable to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Factors considered in the determination include, among other factors, number of days an invoice is past due, client historical trends, available credit ratings information, other financial data and the overall economic environment. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. The Company also considers recording as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $24,000 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included $2,276,833 and $1,259,089 in unbilled contracts respectively related to work performed in the period in which the receivable was recorded. The amounts were billed in the subsequent period.

Inventory

Inventory principally consists of parts held temporarily until installed for service. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined by the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, while market value is determined by replacement cost for components and replacement parts.

Property and Equipment

The cost of furniture and fixtures and office equipment is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the lease. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on the straight-line basis.

The range of estimated useful lives used for computing depreciation are as follows:

Furniture and fixtures	2 - 10 years
Office equipment	2 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements	3 - 15 years
Automobiles	3 - 5 years
Camera systems	3 years

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for additions, improvements and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $91,508 and $25,787 , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $173,547 and $51,229 , respectively.

Business Combination

Management conducts a valuation analysis on the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date thereof. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.

Amounts paid for acquisitions are allocated to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We may also allocate a portion of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill.

We recorded goodwill and intangible assets for the mergers and acquisitions that occurred in 2018 and 2017. The BC Management, Secure Education and Firestorm acquisitions were asset acquisitions, which created both book and tax bases in goodwill and non-goodwill intangible assets. Secure Education’s acquisition resulted in $0.4 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. BC Management’s acquisition resulted in $0.4 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. The Firestorm acquisition resulted in $2.5 million of non-goodwill intangible assets. Brekford and Global were stock acquisitions and only have book basis in the goodwill and intangible assets. The fair value assigned to Brekford’s intangible and goodwill is $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Global Technical Services and Global Contract Professionals goodwill and intangible assets resulted in a fair value of $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. As a result of a corresponding deferred tax liability, an adjustment was recorded to goodwill to account for the tax effect of the deferred tax liability in the year ended December 31, 2017. As discussed above, the fair value of BC Management and Secure Education assets may change and require subsequent adjustments.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of acquisitions or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets are compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

Acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the following periods:

Acquired Intangible Asset	Amortization Basis	Expected Life (years)
Customer-Related	Straight-line basis	5-15
Marketing-Related	Straight-line basis	4
Technology-Based	In line with underlying cash flows or straight-line basis	3

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (see Note 3).

The Company generates substantially all revenues from providing professional services to clients. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.

Revenue is recognized when control of the goods and services provided are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services using the following steps: 1) identify the contract; 2) identify the performance obligations; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as or when the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company typically satisfies performance obligations for professional services over time as the related services are provided.

The Company generates revenues under three types of billing arrangements: time-and-expense; fixed-fee; and franchise fees.

Time-and-expense billing arrangements require the client to pay based on the number of hours worked by revenue-generating staff at agreed upon rates. The Company recognize revenues under time-and-expense arrangements as the related services are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient which allows us to recognize revenue in the amount that the Company has a right to invoice, based on the number of hours worked and the agreed upon hourly rates.

In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services or deliverables. The Company sets the fees based on our estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenues under fixed-fee billing arrangements using a proportionate performance approach, which is based on the cost of the work completed to-date versus our estimates of the total cost of the services to be provided under the engagement. Estimates of total engagement revenues and cost of services are monitored regularly during the term of the engagement. If our estimates indicate a potential loss, such loss is recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

The Company collects initial franchise fees when franchise agreements are signed. The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue over the estimated life of the franchise, beginning with the opening of the franchise, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement and the franchisee benefits from the rights afforded by the franchise agreement. Royalties from individual franchises are earned based upon the terms in the franchising agreement which are generally the greater of $1,000 or 8% of the franchisee’s monthly gross sales.

Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenues and cost of revenue.

The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts vary. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled services or deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients, are recorded as unbilled services. Revenues recognized, but for which the Company has not yet been entitled to bill because certain events must occur, such as the completion of the measurement period or client approval, are recorded as contract assets and included within unbilled services. Client prepayments and retainers are classified as deferred revenues and recognized over future periods, as earned, in accordance with the applicable engagement agreement. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $117,636 of deferred revenue, of which $19,063 and $30,303, was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Such costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectability of accounts receivable, fair value of debt and equity instruments and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. This method requires an asset and liability approach for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Management has evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that their benefits will not be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its net deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

The tax effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. It is our accounting policy to account for ASC 740-10-related penalties and interest as a component of the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2018, our evaluation revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. The 2014 through 2017 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS, as of June 30, 2018. Our management does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements.

Tax Cut and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) was enacted, which changes U.S. tax law and includes various provisions that impact our company. The 2017 Act effects our company by (i) changing U.S. tax rates, (ii) increasing the Company’s ability to utilize accumulated net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 and (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to deduct interest.

The 2017 Act instituted fundamental changes to the U.S. tax system. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Act. In accordance with SAB 118, management calculated its best estimate of the impact of the 2017 Act in the 2017 year-end income tax provision in accordance with their understanding of the 2017 Act and available guidance. Also pursuant to SAB 118, certain additional impacts of the 2017 Act remain open during the measurement period, including state tax impacts of the 2017 Act. As of the close of the second quarter, the Company continues to analyze the 2017 Act in its entirety and refine its calculations, which could potentially impact the measurement of recorded tax balances. Any subsequent adjustment to the tax balances resulting from the analysis of the 2017 Act, will be recorded to income tax expense in the fiscal quarter of 2018 when the analysis is completed.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes equity-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Total equity-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $96,350 and $37,148 , respectively, and for the six months end June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $208,805 and $120,149 , respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value and projected volatility of the underlying common stock and the expected term of the award.

The fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions below during the six months ended June 30, 2017. No options were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Risk-free interest rate	1.00% - 2.17%
Expected term	0.3 – 6.1 years
Volatility	70%
Dividend yield	0%
Estimated annual forfeiture rate at time of grant	0% - 30%

Risk-Free Interest Rate – The yield on actively traded non-inflation indexed U.S. Treasury notes with the same maturity as the expected term of the underlying grants was used as the average risk-free interest rate.

Expected Term – The expected term of options granted was determined based on management’s expectations of the options granted which are expected to remain outstanding.

Expected Volatility – Because the Company’s common stock has only been publicly traded since late August 2017, there is not a substantive share price history to calculate volatility and, as such, the Company has elected to use the calculated value method.

Dividend Yield – The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires an expected dividend yield as an input. The Company has not issued common stock dividends in the past nor does the Company expect to issue common stock dividends in the future.

Forfeiture Rate – This is the estimated percentage of equity grants that are expected to be forfeited or cancelled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on past turnover data, level of employee receiving the equity grant, and vesting terms, and revises the rate if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of instruments that will vest is likely to differ from the estimate. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated number of awards likely to vest is recognized in compensation cost in the period of the change.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for long-term debt approximates fair value as of June 30, 2018, given management’s evaluation of the instrument’s current rate compared to market rates of interest and other factors.

The determination of fair value is based upon the fair value framework established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value (listed from low to high):

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company determined that the value of the remaining balance of the note receivable at December 31, 2017 approximated its recorded value and the Company sold the note in February 2018 for proceeds of $1,400,000. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

The Company has concluded that its Series A Preferred Stock is a Level 3 financial instrument and that the fair value approximates the carrying value due to the proximity of the date of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to independent third-parties. There were no changes in levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s client base. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash balances with high-quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash may exceed U.S. Federally insured limits, and as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $1,567,954 and $1,707,212 , respectively, of cash and cash equivalents on deposit that exceeded the federally insured limit.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, except for periods of net loss for which no potentially dilutive securities are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options or warrants using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are calculated using the if-converted method.

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. Participating securities consist of preferred stock that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders.

On August 28, 2017, the Company effected a 1.9339-to-1 stock exchange related to the Brekford Merger. The per share amounts have been updated to show the effect of the exchange on earnings per share as if the exchange occurred at the beginning of both years for the quarterly financial statements of the Company.

Segment Reporting

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Based on its analysis of current operations, management has determined that the Company has only one operating segment, which is Novume. Management will continue to reevaluate its segment reporting as the Company grows and matures. However, the chief operating decision-makers currently use combined results to make operating and strategic decisions, and, therefore, the Company believes its entire operation is currently covered under a single reportable segment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Not Yet Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for hedging activities. This guidance expands strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, changes how many hedging relationships are presented in the financial statements and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. The standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any interim or annual period before the effective date. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting , which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity will account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the original award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the original award. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The update is to be adopted prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update but does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will test goodwill for impairment within one year of the acquisition or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , as part of its simplification initiatives. The update requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than deferring the recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party as is required under current GAAP. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The new standard will require adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:

●	ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

●	ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations , which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).

●	ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensin g, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.

●	ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new revenue recognition guidance to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize revenue at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. A five-step model has been introduced for an entity to apply when recognizing revenue. The new guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements (see Note 2). The guidance was effective January 1, 2018. It was applied on a modified retrospective basis to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application through a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018. The prior period comparative information has not been recast and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for that period.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. Novume has aggregated and reviewed all contracts at the date of initial application that are within the scope of Topic 606, excluding time-and-expense contracts at AOC Key Solutions and Global since Topic 606 does not have a material impact on time-and-expense contracts. Based on its evaluation, the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet or related consolidated statements of operations, equity or cash flows. Therefore, prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting Topic 606 to the Company as of January 1, 2018 relate to: (1) a change to franchisee agreements recorded prior to 2017 of $22,000 which will be amortized over remaining term of the franchisee agreements; and (2) the timing of certain contractual agreements which amounted to $45,000 and subsequently recognized as revenue in six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in (3) an increase in each of deferred revenue and accumulated deficit of $67,000. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 reduction to deferred revenue. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is a $50,500 increase in revenue. Revenue recognition related to the Company’s other revenue streams will remain substantially unchanged. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $16,500 of deferred revenue recognized upon adoption of Topic 606 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for a franchise contract over the next 18 months.

Global Acquisition

On October 1, 2017, Novume completed its acquisition of Global by purchasing Global Technical Services, Inc. (“GTS”) and Global Contract Professionals, Inc. (“GCP”). Consideration paid as part of the Global acquisition included: (a) $750,000 in cash, (b) 375,000 shares of Novume common stock valued at $566,288 and (c) 240,861 shares of Novume Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Novume Series B Preferred Stock”) valued at $2,408,610. In addition to the merger consideration, Novume paid $365,037 to satisfy in full all of the outstanding debt of GTS and GCP at closing, except for certain intercompany debt and ordinary course debt, and amounts due under (a) the Secured Account Purchase Agreement dated August 22, 2012 by and between GTS and Wells Fargo Bank , National Association (the “GTS Wells Fargo Credit Facility”) and (b) the Secured Account Purchase Agreement dated August 22, 2012 by and between GCP and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “GCP Wells Fargo Credit Facility” and together with the GTS Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the “Wells Fargo Credit Facilities”), which have remained in effect following the consummation of the Global Acquisition. In connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, Novume delivered general continuing guaranties, dated September 29, 2017 to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, guaranteeing the Guaranteed Obligations of GTS and GCP (as defined in the Wells Fargo Guaranty Agreements) under the Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, and paid $175,000 in the aggregate to reduce the current borrowed amounts under the Wells Fargo Credit Facilities as of October 1, 2017. Additionally, Novume assumed $2,462,276 of Global’s liabilities.

As part of the Global acquisition, the Company issued 240,861 shares of $0.0001 par value Novume Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). All Series B Preferred Stock was issued at a price of $10.00 per share as part of the acquisition of Global. The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to quarterly cash dividends of 1.12% (4.48% per annum) per share. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $5.00 per share. Each Series B Preferred Stock has an automatic conversion feature based on the share price of Novume (see Note 10). The Company measured the holdback consideration in April 2018 and determined that the contingent liability should be decreased by $94,657. In accordance with ASC 805-10-25, a contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability shall be recognized in earnings, and $94,657 was recognized as other income for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $105,343 and $200,000, respectively, of holdback consideration included in accrued expenses.

The Company has completed its analysis of the purchase price allocation. The table below shows the final breakdown related to the Global acquisition:

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT AT COST AND NOTE RECEIVABLE

On February 6, 2017, prior to the Brekford Merger, Brekford entered into a Contribution and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “CUP Agreement”) with LB&B Associates Inc. (“LB&B”) and Global Public Safety, LLC (“GPS”).

The closing for the transaction set forth in the CUP Agreement occurred on February 28, 2017 (the “GPS Closing”) and on such date the Company contributed substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities related to its vehicle services business to GPS. On the GPS Closing, the Company sold units representing 80.1% of the units of GPS to LB&B for $6,048,394, after certain purchase price adjustments of prepaid expenses and unbilled customer deposits. $4,048,394 was paid in cash, including a $250,000 deposit that was paid on February 6, 2017, and $2,000,000 was paid by LB&B issuing the Company a promissory note receivable (the “GPS Promissory Note”). After the GPS Closing, the Company continues to own 19.9% of the units of GPS after the transaction. The Company is accounting for this as an investment at cost.

The GPS Promissory Note ($2,000,000) is subordinated to the LB&B’s senior lender and accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum. The maturity date of the GPS Promissory Note is March 31, 2022. The GPS Promissory Note was secured pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement (the “LB&B Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and LB&B. Pursuant to the LB&B Pledge Agreement LB&B, granted the Company a continuing second priority lien and security interest in the LB&B’s units of GPS subject to liens of the LB&B’s senior lender. In December 2017, the Company reclassified the note receivable balance to a current asset and wrote down $450,000 based on the decision to sell the note receivable to an unrelated third party. The current portion of note receivable was $0 and $1,475,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The sale was consummated on February 13, 2018 and the Company received proceeds of $1,475,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2018. In connection with the sale of the GPS Promissory Note, the Company has indemnified the unrelated third-party buyer for any amounts of principal and interest not paid by LB&B.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

Our income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0 compared to a benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the tax benefit recorded is due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0, compared to a benefit of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the tax benefit recorded is due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets during 2017 and has continued to maintain a full valuation allowance through the six months ended June 30, 2018. Therefore, no tax benefit was recognized for the losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. No U.S. Federal, state or foreign income tax audits were in process as of June 30, 2018.

Management has evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Novume did not record any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. It is the Company’s policy to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. The 2014 through 2017 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) was enacted, which changes U.S. tax law and includes various provisions that impact our Company. The 2017 Act effects our Company by (i) changing U.S. tax rates, (ii) increasing the Company’s ability to utilize accumulated net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017, and (iii) limits the Company’s ability to deduct interest.

In November 2016, Novume commenced its Regulation A Offering (the “Reg A Offering”) of up to 3,000,000 Units. Each Unit (post merger exchange) consisted of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and one Unit Warrant to purchase 0.48 shares of Novume’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.03 per share. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly dividends of 7.0% per annum per share.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have a put right to convert each share into common stock at an initial conversion price and a specified price which increases annually based on the passage of time beginning in November 2019. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock also have a put right after 60 months from the issuance date to redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $15.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Novume has a call right after 36 months from the issuance date to redeem all of the Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price which increases annually based on the passage of time beginning in November 2019. The Series A Preferred Stock contains an automatic conversion feature based on a qualified initial public offering in excess of $30,000,000 or a written agreement by at least two-thirds of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at an initial conversion price and a specified price which increases annually based on the passage of time beginning in November 2016.

On March 17, 2015, Brekford issued a warrant (“Brekford Warrant”), which permits the holder to purchase at any time over five years, up to 56,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $7.50 per share.

The Brekford Warrant exercise price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allow for its reduction in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities, including shares of common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock, for no consideration or for consideration less than $7.50 a share. The Company accounted for the conversion option of the Brekford Warrant in accordance with ASC Topic 815.

NOTE 14 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

In August 2017, the Company approved and adopted the 2017 Equity Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”) which replaced the 2016 Equity Award Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2017 Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards for the purpose of attracting and retaining quality employees, directors and consultants. Maximum awards available under the 2017 Plan were initially set at 3,000,000 shares. To date, only stock options have been issued under the 2016 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2017 Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted to employees and NSOs may be granted to employees, directors, or consultants. Stock options are granted at exercise prices as determined by the Board of Directors. The vesting period is generally three to four years with a contractual term of 10 years.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Administrator, which is currently the Board of Directors of the Company. The Administrator has the exclusive authority, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2017 Plan, to determine all matters relating to awards under the 2017 Plan, including the selection of individuals to be granted an award, the type of award, the number of shares of Novume common stock subject to an award, and all terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, including, without limitation, vesting, acceleration of vesting, exercisability, termination, substitution, cancellation, forfeiture, or repurchase of an award and the terms of any instrument that evidences the award.

Novume has also designed the 2017 Plan to include a number of provisions that Novume’s management believes promote best practices by reinforcing the alignment of equity compensation arrangements for nonemployee directors, officers, employees, consultants and stockholders’ interests. These provisions include, but are not limited to, the following:

No Discounted Awards . Awards that have an exercise price cannot be granted with an exercise price less than the fair market value on the grant date.

No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval . Novume cannot, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of an award (except for adjustments in connection with a Novume recapitalization), and at any time when the exercise price of an award is above the market value of Novume common stock, Novume cannot, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such award for cash, other awards or a new award at a lower (or no) exercise price.

No Evergreen Provision . There is no evergreen feature under which the shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan can be automatically replenished.

No Automatic Grants . The 2017 Plan does not provide for “reload” or other automatic grants to recipients.

No Transferability. Awards generally may not be transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, unless approved by the Administrator.

No Tax Gross-Ups. The 2017 Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups.

No Liberal Change-in-Control Definition. The change-in-control definition contained in the 2017 Plan is not a “liberal” definition that would be activated on mere stockholder approval of a transaction.

“Double-trigger” Change in Control Vesting. If awards granted under the 2017 Plan are assumed by a successor in connection with a change in control of Novume, such awards will not automatically vest and pay out solely as a result of the change in control, unless otherwise expressly set forth in an award agreement.

No Dividends on Unearned Performance Awards . The 2017 Plan prohibits the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights on unearned performance-based awards.

Limitation on Amendments. No amendments to the 2017 Plan may be made without stockholder approval if any such amendment would materially increase the number of shares reserved or the per-participant award limitations under the 2017 Plan, diminish the prohibitions on repricing stock options or stock appreciation rights, or otherwise constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of the principal exchange on which Novume’s shares are traded.

Clawbacks. Awards based on the satisfaction of financial metrics that are subsequently reversed, due to a financial statement restatement or reclassification, are subject to forfeiture.

When making an award under the 2017 Plan, the Administrator may designate the award as “qualified performance-based compensation,” which means that performance criteria must be satisfied in order for an employee to be paid the award. Qualified performance-based compensation may be made in the form of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, common stock options, performance shares, performance units or other stock equivalents. The 2017 Plan includes the performance criteria the Administrator has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, for a “qualified performance-based compensation” award.

Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	14,533,030	5,488,094	14,514,864	5,284,722

Common stock equivalents excluded due to anti-dilutive effect	2,754,268	690,409	2,779,975	625,291

As the Company had a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018, the following 2,754,268 potentially dilutive securities were excluded from diluted loss per share: 917,950 for outstanding warrants, 974,487 related to the Series A Preferred Stock, 481,722 related to the Series B Preferred Stock and 380,109 related to outstanding options. In addition, 643,417 options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as the exercise price of these shares exceeded the per share value of the common stock.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the following 690,409 potentially dilutive securities were excluded from diluted loss per share as the Company had a net loss: 188,082 for outstanding warrants and 502,327 related to the Series A Preferred Stock and 385,075 related to outstanding options. In addition, 455,630 options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as the exercise price of these shares exceeded the per share value of the common stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the following 2,779,975 potentially dilutive securities were excluded from diluted loss per share as the Company had a net loss: 917,950 for outstanding warrants, 974,487 related to the Series A Preferred Stock, 481,722 related to the Series B Preferred Stock and 405,816 related to outstanding options.

In addition, 422,745 options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as the exercise price of these shares exceeded the per share value of the common stock.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share under Two – Class Method

The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have the non-forfeitable right to participate on an as converted basis at the conversion rate then in effect in any common stock dividends declared and, as such, is considered a participating security. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are included in the computation of basic and diluted loss per share pursuant to the two-class method. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock do not participate in undistributed net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so.

The computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock that are dilutive were exercised or converted into shares of common stock (or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock) and would then share in our earnings. During the periods in which we record a loss attributable to common stockholders, securities would not be dilutive to net loss per share and conversion into shares of common stock is assumed not to occur.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss) to preferred shareholders and common stockholders for purposes of computing net (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Executive Summary

Our Company

We were formed in February 2017 and began operations upon the merger of KeyStone Solutions, Inc. (“KeyStone”) and Brekford Traffic Safety, Inc. (“Brekford”) in August 2017. KeyStone was formed in March 2016 as a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary AOC Key Solutions, Inc. (“AOC Key Solutions”) and on January 25, 2017, acquired Firestorm Solutions, LLC and Firestorm Franchising, LLC (collectively referred to as “Firestorm”). On October 1, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Global Technical Services, Inc. (“GTS”) and Global Contract Professionals, Inc. (“GCP) (collectively referred to as “Global”). For narrative purposes, references to the Company and Novume include AOC Key Solutions, Firestorm, Brekford and Global.

AOC Key Solutions is based in Chantilly, Virginia and provides consulting and technical support services to assist clients seeking U.S. federal government contracts in the technology, telecommunications, defense, and aerospace industries. AOC Key Solutions provides consulting and technical support services to assist clients seeking U.S. Federal government contracts in the technology, telecommunications, defense, and aerospace industries.

Firestorm is headquartered in Roswell, Georgia and is a nationally recognized leader in crisis management, crisis communications, emergency response, and business continuity, including workplace violence prevention, cyber-breach response, communicable illness/pandemic planning, predictive intelligence, and other emergency, crisis and disaster preparedness initiatives. For example, its behavioral risk and threat assessment program, BERTHA® , positions schools, businesses and other organizations to prevent violence from occurring. This program helps our clients to identify early warning signs that may be exhibited by an individual before they are on a path to violence. BERTHA® is an integral part of an innovative school violence prevention program launched by Firestorm in partnership with the University of Alabama in November of 2017. On December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2018, Firestorm completed the acquisition of all assets of BC Management, Inc. ("BC Management") and Secure Education Consultants, LLC ("Secure Education"), respectively. BC Management is internationally recognized as a leading executive search firm for business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis management and risk management professionals. Coupled with its staffing expertise, BC Management is a recognized leader in business continuity research with annual studies covering compensation assessments, program maturity effectiveness, event impact management reviews, IT resiliency and critical supply analyses. Secure Education is comprised of an expert team of highly trained, former U.S. Secret Service Agents and assists clients by designing customized plans, conducting security assessments, delivering training, and responding to critical incidents.

Brekford , headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, is a leading public safety technology service provider of fully integrated automated traffic safety enforcement, or ATSE, solutions, including speed, red light, and distracted driving cameras, as well as citation management software and secure electronic evidence storage. Brekford is also in the final stages of development of a new traffic safety product, Argos Guardian, which is currently undergoing field testing, and is expected to be piloted in several jurisdictions later in 2018. The patent pending system will combine leading edge camera and radar technology with an advanced triggering mechanism to detect, capture, and record "move over" law violations. It will also include built-in artificial intelligence-based automated license plate reader, or ALPR, capability. When combined with Brekford’s comprehensive citation management software suite, iP360, Argos Guardian will provide an innovative technology solution that can assist law enforcement agencies in improving the safety of officers and emergency response personnel.

Global is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and provides the U.S. Department of Defense and the aerospace industry with experienced maintenance and modification specialists. Global provides specialized contract personnel, temp-to-hire professionals, direct hires, and temporary or seasonal hires to a diverse group of companies.

In an effort to create specific awareness about us in the Government Contracting, or GovCon, industry, we formed a subsidiary in 2017, Novume Media, to develop a television show called The Bridge -- a weekly 30-minute program featuring panel discussions and interviews with leaders from the government, business, academia and associations. The show premiered on April 2, 2017 in the Washington, DC market and the first season is available on line. We have deferred development of a second season in order to further evaluate the benefit to the Company.

In selective situations, we will also seek to serve as a partner or incubator for businesses where an understanding of government contracting and contacts with seasoned providers of government services or products can be instrumental to success. In making arrangements for the merger with Brekford, Novume assisted it in arranging the sale Brekford’s legacy vehicle unfitting business to LB&B Associates Inc., a long-term client of AOC Key Solutions, retaining a 19.9% interest. We expect to continue our efforts to find low-risk, high-reward opportunities by using our knowledge base and strategic position to facilitate transactions that can provide financial returns without significant operating or balance sheet exposure.

Brekford Acquisition

On August 28, 2017, the mergers by and among Novume, KeyStone, Brekford, Brekford Merger Sub, Inc., and KeyStone Merger Sub, LLC, were consummated (the “Brekford Merger”). As a result, Brekford became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novume, and Brekford Merger Sub, Inc. ceased to exist. KeyStone Merger Sub, LLC also became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novume, and KeyStone Solutions, Inc. ceased to exist. When KeyStone Merger Sub filed its certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, it immediately effectuated a name-change to KeyStone Solutions, LLC, the name by which it is now known. For the purpose of this document any references to KeyStone are to KeyStone Solutions, Inc. prior to August 28, 2017 and to KeyStone Solutions, LLC on and after August 28, 2017.

Upon completion of the Brekford Merger, the merger consideration was issued in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Immediately upon completion of the Brekford Merger, the pre-merger stockholders of KeyStone owned approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Novume on a fully-diluted basis, and the pre-merger stockholders of Brekford owned approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Novume on a fully-diluted basis.

Pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”), by and among Novume, each of the Firestorm Entities, each of the Members of the Firestorm Entities (described below), and a newly-created acquisition subsidiary of Novume, Firestorm Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Firestorm Holdings”), Novume acquired all of the membership interests in each of the Firestorm Entities for the following consideration:

$500,000 in cash in the aggregate paid by Novume as of the Firestorm Closing Date to the three principals (Harry W. Rhulen, Suzanne Loughlin, and James W. Satterfield, collectively the “Firestorm Principals”) of Firestorm. Of that aggregate amount $250,000 was paid to Mr. Satterfield, and $125,000 was paid to each of Mr. Rhulen and Ms. Loughlin;

●	$1,000,000 in the aggregate in the form of four unsecured, subordinated promissory notes issued by Novume with interest payable over, and principal due after, five years after the Firestorm Closing Date, to all the Members of the Firestorm Entities (consisting of the Firestorm Principals and Lancer Financial Group, Inc. (“Lancer”)). The principal amount of the note payable to Lancer is $500,000 (the “Lancer Note”). The principal amount of the note payable to Mr. Rhulen is $166,666.66. The principal amount of the notes payable to each of Mr. Satterfield and Ms. Loughlin is $166,666.67. (The notes payable to Mr. Rhulen, Ms. Loughlin and Mr. Satterfield are individually referred to herein as a “Firestorm Principal Note” and collectively, as the “Firestorm Principal Notes”). The Firestorm Principal Notes are payable at an interest rate of 2% and the Lancer Note is payable at an interest rate of 7%. $907,407 was recorded to notes payable to reflect the net fair value of the notes issued due to the difference in interest rates.

●	Each of the Firestorm Principals received warrants to purchase 54,233 (105,209 post Brekford Merger) Novume Common Shares, exercisable over a period of five years after the Firestorm Closing Date, at an exercise price of $3.60 per share.

Key Trends, Developments and Challenges

U.S. Government Spending and the Government Contractor Industry Generally

On March 23, 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “2018 Act”) was signed into law. It provides $1.3 trillion in funding through September 2018. It also anticipates $500 billion in new federal spending for defense and domestic programs over two years. The 2018 Act provides more than $2.3 billion in new funding for threat identification, mental health, training, and school safety programs at the Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services. The legislation also lifts statutory budget caps and increases funding for emergency disaster aid funding, lifts the debt ceiling and extends certain health care and tax authorizations. We believe that these increases in federal funding will increase demand for our services.

While we anticipate an increasing demand for our services based upon an expected increase in the volume of federal government spending and as our clients elect to outsource their bid and proposal activities, it is still not clear how government spending will be impacted beyond 2018. The administration does have some discretion to delay spending on programs previously authorized.

Impact of Current Federal Budget on Defense Spending

The 2018 Act represents the largest investment in national defense in 15 years. Although the 2018 Act included a 2.4% pay raise for military personnel, it also provides for significant increases in military procurements. We believe that increased defense spending will flow down to government contractor and provide them with new opportunities to offer national defense product and services to the federal government.

The Department of Defense is experimenting with a type of simplified acquisition process known as Other Transactional Authority (OTA). A purpose of OTA is to encourage nontraditional defense contractors to develop innovative technologies, though more traditional defense contractors can also participate. Furthermore, the 2018 Act seeks to maximize the participation of small and socio-economically diverse companies, which may increase the number of contractors offering goods and services to the federal government. We believe that these increases in federal funding will increase demand for our services.

NeoSystems Merger

We filed a Form S-1 with the SEC on January 25, 2018. A portion of the proceeds from the proposed offering was to be used for the planned acquisition of NeoSystems LLC (“NeoSystems”) through a forward merger under an agreement entered into on November 16, 2017. The proposed offering was for $12.5 million Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. A significant portion of the proceeds of the offering were expected to be used in connection with the contemplated acquisition of NeoSystems. The consummation of the merger was subject to, among other things, the completion of the Qualifying Offering by February 28, 2018. We have not yet completed this offering.

On March 7, 2018, we received notice of termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “NeoSystems Merger Agreement”). The stated basis of termination by NeoSystems was due to our failure to complete a Qualifying Offering, as defined in the NeoSystems Merger Agreement, by February 28, 2018. The terms of the NeoSystems Merger Agreement provide that upon termination, we are required to pay certain fees and expenses of legal counsel, financial advisors, investment bankers and accountants, which shall not exceed in the aggregate $450,000. We reserve all rights under applicable law with respect to the NeoSystems Merger Agreement, including such notice.

Sale of Note

On February 13, 2018, Brekford sold a note receivable from Global Public Safety, LLC (“Global Public Safety”), which it had received as part of the purchase price consideration in connection with the sale of its legacy upfitting business prior to its acquisition by Novume as a result of the merger with KeyStone in 2017. On December 31, 2017, based on the decision to sell the note receivable to an unrelated third party, we reclassified the note receivable balance to a current asset and wrote down $450,000 as other expense, thus reducing the balance to $1,475,000. Brekford continues to retain a 19.9% interest in Global Public Safety.

Promissory Note

Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $8,867,611 , or 256% , to $12,338,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $3,470,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate revenue attributable to Brekford and Global for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $8,305,546 . Aggregate revenue attributable to legacy Novume (AOC Key Solutions and Firestorm) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $4,032,618 , an increase of 16.2% compared to the prior year period due to the integration of BC Management and Secure Education into Firestorm and increased contract activity within AOC Key Solutions.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $7,015,315 , or 379% , to $8,865,374 compared to $1,850,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate cost of revenue attributable to Brekford and Global for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $6,816,112 . Aggregate cost of revenue attributable to legacy Novume for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,049,263, or 50.8% of revenue which is a decrease from the prior year legacy period of 53.1% of revenue and is primarily attributable to a decrease in costs of contract labor.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $1,852,295 , or 114% , to $3,472,790 compared to $1,620,494 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate gross profit attributable to Brekford and Global for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,489,435 . Aggregate gross profit attributable to legacy Novume for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,983,355 , an increase of 22.4% compared to the prior year period.

The gross profit margin was 28.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 46.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding the 17.6% gross profit margin for Brekford and Global, the gross profit margin for legacy Novume for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 49.2% compared to the prior year period of 46.2% . Because staffing companies, such as Global, have greater costs of services as compared to professional services support providers such as AOC Key Solutions, the addition of Global has had an impact of lowering the consolidated gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018, increased by $1,873,813 , or 76% , to $4,328,625 compared to $2,454,812 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to Brekford and Global for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,402,101 . Aggregate selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to legacy Novume for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,926,524 , an increase of 33.9% compared to the prior year period.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of legacy Novume was primarily due to increases in professional, legal fees, board and corporate expenses, and expenses related to maintaining compliance with applicable listing rules and SEC requirements. As percentage of revenue, our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to 35.1% compared to 70.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses may continue to increase, however at a reduced pace, in future periods. These increases may include costs related to hiring of personnel and fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants as well as expenses related to maintaining compliance with applicable listing rules and SEC requirements, insurance, and investor relations activities.

Other Expense

Other expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $65,453 compared to other expense of $28,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily related to an increase of $142,056 of interest expense offset by approximately $100,000 reversal of a prior year accrued expense.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0, compared to a benefit of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the tax benefit recorded is due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets during 2017 and has continued to maintain a full valuation allowance through the six months ended June 30, 2018; therefore, there was no tax benefit recognized for the losses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $921,288 compared to a net loss of $544,317 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net loss margin was 7.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss margin of 15.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current quarter compared to the prior period increased the net loss.

Results of Operations – Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Consolidated operating results for six months ended June 30, 2017 include AOC Key Solutions, and include Firestorm operations only for the period from January 25, 2017 through June 30, 2017, but do not include operations from Brekford or Global.

Aggregate cost of revenue attributable to Brekford and Global for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $13,127,870 . Aggregate cost of revenue attributable to legacy Novume for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $3,871,540, or 50.8% of revenue which is consistent with the prior year legacy period of 50.8% of revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $3,407,449 , or 108% , to $6,557,523 compared to $3,150,074 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate gross profit attributable to Brekford and Global for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,811,391 . Aggregate gross profit attributable to legacy Novume for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $3,746,132 , an increase of 18.9% compared to the prior year period.

The gross profit margin was 27.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 46.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding the 17.6% gross profit margin for Brekford and Global, the gross profit margin for legacy Novume for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was relatively consistent at 49.2% and 49.2% , respectively. Because staffing companies, such as Global, have greater costs of services as compared to professional services support providers such as AOC Key Solutions, the addition of Global has had an impact of lowering the consolidated gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018, increased by $4,667,471 , or 94.4% , to $9,609,575 compared to $4,942,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Aggregate selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to Brekford and Global for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,990,164 . Aggregate selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to legacy Novume for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $6,619,411 , an increase of 33.9% compared to the prior year period.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of legacy Novume was primarily due to increases in professional, legal fees, board and corporate expenses, and expenses related to maintaining compliance with applicable listing rules and SEC requirements. As percentage of revenue, our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to 40.8% compared to 73.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Other Expense

Other expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $63,082 compared to other expense of $63,905 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was related to an increase of $199,901 of interest expense offset by a $200,000 adjustment to holdback consideration and the reversal of a prior year accrued expense.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0, compared to a benefit of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the tax benefit recorded is due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets during 2017 and has continued to maintain a full valuation allowance through the six months ended June 30, 2018; therefore, there was no tax benefit recognized for the losses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $3,115,134 compared to a net loss of $1,116,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The net loss margin was 13.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss margin of 16.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior period increased the net loss.

Novume expects to finance its operations over the next twelve months from the date of this Form 10-Q primarily through existing cash flow, supplemented as necessary by funds available through access to credit and through access to additional capital, to the extent available to the Company.

On April 7, 2015, the lease was amended to sublease more space to the subtenant and change the rental calculation. The sublease agreement provided for an offset of $91,267 to rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2017 and 2018, we have funded our operations primarily through cash from operating activities from our subsidiaries, revolving lines of credit, issuance of debt, the completed Reg A offering and the sale of assets. As of June 30, 2018, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2,100,462 and working capital deficit of $618,511 , as compared to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1,957,212 and working capital of $2,750,578 as of December 31, 2017.

In the Fall of 2016, we commenced our Regulation A Offering (the "Reg A Offering") of up to 3,000,000 Units. At the initial closing of the Reg A Offering, on December 23, 2016, we sold 301,570 Units and received aggregate gross proceeds of $3,015,700. At the second closing of the Reg A Offering, on January 23, 2017, we sold 119,757 Units and received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,197,570. At the third and final closing of the Reg A Offering, on March 21, 2017, we sold 81,000 Units and received aggregate gross proceeds of $810,000. As reported our Current Report on Form I-U, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2017, the Reg A Offering is now closed, effective as of the third closing.

Following the Brekford Merger, all outstanding shares of KeyStone Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for the right to receive one share of Novume Series A Preferred Stock. Novume Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to quarterly dividends in the amount of $0.175 (7% per annum) per share, being an identical per annum percentage per share dividend as received by holders of KeyStone Series A Preferred Stock prior to the Brekford Merger. We anticipate that we will pay the quarterly cash dividends through cash flow from operations, potential business growth from other acquired entities and access to additional credit or capital. The quarterly dividend payments are due within five business days following the end of a quarter.

On December 31, 2017, we declared and accrued dividends of $87,907 payable to Series A shareholders of record as of December 31, 2017. On January 5, 2018, we paid cash dividends of $87,907 to Series A shareholders of record as of December 31, 2017.

As part of the Global Merger, we issued 240,861 shares of $0.0001 par value Series B Preferred Stock. All Series B Preferred Stock was issued at a price of $10.00 per share as part of the acquisition of the Global Merger. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $5.00 per share. Each Series B Preferred Stock has an automatic conversion feature based on the share price of Novume. The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to quarterly cash dividends of 1.121% (4.484% per annum) per share. On December 31, 2017, we declared and accrued dividends of $27,001 payable to Series B shareholders of record on December 31, 2017. On January 5, 2018, we paid cash dividends of $27,001 to Series B shareholders of record as December 31, 2017.

Operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of receivables from billed and unbilled services, accounts payable, accrued expenses, current portion of long-term debt and lines of credit, and accrued payroll and related benefits. The volume of billings and timing of collections and payments affect these account balances.

On August 11, 2016, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2016 Line of Credit”) with Sandy Spring Bank (“SSB”). The 2016 Line of Credit was comprised of: 1) an asset-based revolving line of credit up to $1,000,000 for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes which matured on July 31, 2017, bore interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, floating, plus 0.50% and was secured by a first lien on all of our business assets; and 2) an optional term loan of $100,000, which was for permanent working capital, bore interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, floating, plus 0.75%, required monthly payments of principal plus interest to fully amortize the loan over four years, was secured by a first lien on all of our business assets, cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the revolving line of credit, and was to mature on February 15, 2019.

The borrowing base for the 2016 Line of Credit was up to the lesser of (1) $1,000,000 or (2) eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate amount of all eligible accounts receivable as defined by SSB. The borrowing base for the $100,000 term loan was fully reserved under the borrowing base for the revolving line of credit. The 2016 Line of Credit had periodic reporting requirements and balance sheet covenants, as well as affirmative and negative operational and ownership covenants. Novume was in compliance with all 2016 Line of Credit covenants at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017. In August 2017, we terminated the 2016 Line of Credit with SSB.

As such, as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, Novume had no balances due for the 2016 Line of Credit and there were no amounts outstanding as of the date of this Form 10-Q.

Global has revolving lines of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WFB”) (“the Global Wells Agreements”). WFB agreed to advance to Global , 90% of all eligible accounts with a maximum facility amount of $5,000,000. Interest is payable under the Global Wells Agreements at a monthly rate equal to the Three-Month LIBOR in effect from time to time plus 3% plus the Margin. The Margin is 3% . Payment of the revolving lines of credit is secured by the accounts receivable of Global. The current terms of the Global Wells Agreements run through December 31, 2018, with automatic renewal terms of 12 months. WFB or Global may terminate the Global Wells Agreements upon at least 60 days’ written notice prior to the last day of the current term. The principal balance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $2,012,997 and $2,057,259, respectively. As part of the lines of credit agreements, Global must maintain certain financial covenants. Global met all financial covenant requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

On November 12, 2017, AOC Key Solutions entered into an Account Purchase Agreement and related agreements (the “AOC Wells Agreement”) with WFB. Pursuant to the AOC Wells Agreement, AOC Key Solutions agreed to sell and assign to WFB all of its Accounts (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code), constituting accounts arising out of sales of Goods (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or rendition of services that WFB deems to be eligible for borrowing under the AOC Wells Agreement. WFB agreed to advance to AOC Key Solutions , 90% of all eligible accounts with a maximum facility amount of $3,000,000. Interest is payable under the AOC Wells Agreement at a monthly rate equal to the Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time plus 5%. The AOC Wells Agreement also provides for a deficit interest rate equal to the then applicable interest rate plus 50% and a default interest rate equal to the then applicable interest rate or deficit interest rate, plus 50%. The initial term of the AOC Wells Agreement runs through December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Term”), with automatic renewal terms of 12 months (the “Renewal Term”), commencing on the first day after the last day of the Initial Term. AOC Key Solutions may terminate the AOC Wells Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice, but no more than 120 days’ written notice, prior to and effective as of the last day of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be. WFB may terminate the AOC Wells Agreement at any time and for any reason upon 30 days’ written notice or without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Agreement) after the expiration of any grace or cure period. The principal balance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $854,650 and $1,606,327, respectively. As part of the line of credit agreement, AOC Key Solutions must maintain certain financial covenants. AOC Key Solutions met all financial covenant requirements for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

On March 16, 2016, Novume entered into a Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Avon Road Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Novume agreed to issue up to $1,000,000 in subordinated debt (the "Avon Road Note") and warrants to purchase up to 242,493 shares of Novume’s common stock (“Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants”). The exercise price for the Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants is equal to $1.031 per share of common stock. Subordinated notes with a face amount of $500,000 and Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants to purchase 121,247 shares of Novume’s common stock have been issued pursuant to the Avon Road Note Purchase Agreement to Avon Road Partners, L.P. (“Avon Road”), an affiliate of Robert Berman, Novume’s CEO and a member of Novume’s Board of Directors. The Avon Road Subordinated Note Warrants had an expiration date of March 16, 2019 and qualified for equity accounting as the warrants did not fall within the scope of ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . The debt discount is being amortized as interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, through the maturity date of the note payable.

The Avon Road Note accrues simple interest on the unpaid principal of the note at a rate equal to the lower of (a) 9% per annum, or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Interest is payable monthly, and the note matures on March 16, 2019.

The Company has generated losses since its inception in August 2017 and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, issuance of debt and the sale of a note to provide cash for operations. The Company attributes losses to merger costs, public company corporate overhead, lower than expected revenue and lower gross profit of some of our subsidiaries. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.1 million and used approximately $1.8 million in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and a negative net working capital of $0.6 million.

No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Although certain of our subsidiaries are profitable, due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization costs at other subsidiaries, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.

We continue to seek additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising adequate funds needed. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. The Company will implement its plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays unless operations improve in the look-forward period.

As of June 30, 2018, Novume did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Recent Events

None.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon Novume’s consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the management of Novume to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements.

We believe the application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Novume bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management of Novume believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

Novume’s accounting policies are further described in its historical audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Novume has identified the following critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .

The Company generates revenues under three types of billing arrangements: time-and-expense; fixed-fee; and franchise fees.

Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenues and cost of revenue.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our clients’ financial condition, and Novume generally does not require collateral.

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $24,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

Income Taxes

Management has evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, we fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that their benefits will not be realized in future periods. We will continue to evaluate its net deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of our net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan

Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017 and all annual and interim periods thereafter, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates, and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

No additional sources of capital have been obtained or committed through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. While certain of our subsidiaries are profitable and due to the operating costs associated with being a public company and expenses related to product development and commercialization, we anticipate that we will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Not Yet Adopted

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to accounting for hedging activities. This guidance expands strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, changes how many hedging relationships are presented in the financial statements, and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. The standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any interim or annual period before the effective date. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting , which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity will account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the original award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the original award. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The update is to be adopted prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this update but do not believe it will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , as part of its simplification initiatives. The update requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than deferring the recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party as is required under current GAAP. The update is effective for fiscal year 2019. The new standard will require adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this update will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Recently Adopted

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this review, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
