Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation - These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis included the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included as part of the Form 8-K filed March 29, 2018.
Use of estimates

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for bad debt, warranty and dealer termination costs, obsolete inventory, valuation of stock issued for services and stock options and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, convertible debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents includes any highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Receivables and Credit Policy

Receivables and Credit Policy -Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Terms with our distributor allow for payment terms of 45 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. The Company generally does not charge interest on overdue customer account balances. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The Company determined that no allowance was necessary as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Inventory

Inventories - Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials and direct labor, as well as in-bound freight. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.
Provisions for Inventory Obsolescence

Provisions for Inventory Obsolescence – The Company has a provision for estimated obsolescence and shrinkage of inventory as of March 31, 2018 of $15,369. Our estimates consider the cost of inventory, forecasted demand, the estimated market value, the shelf life of the inventory and our historical experience. If demand for a product declines or a change in the features of our products changes the components required to build it is reasonably likely that circumstances may cause the estimate to change, which would result in additional charges to net income.
Research and Development

Research and Development - The Company expenses research and development costs during the period incurred, which totaled $476 and $316 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight- line basis over the shorter of their estimated lives or the remaining lease term. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the statements of operations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Investee

Investment in Unconsolidated Investee -The Company accounts for investments in which the Company owns more than 20% or more of the investee, using the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method, an investor initially records an investment in the stock of an investee at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the investor's share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income by the investor, and such amount reflects adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated statements including adjustments to eliminate intercompany gains and losses, and to amortize, if appropriate, any difference between investor cost and underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. The investment of an investor is also adjusted to reflect the investor's share of changes in the investee's capital. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred which is other than temporary and which should be recognized even though the decrease in value is in excess of what would otherwise be recognized by application of the equity method.
Shipping Costs

Shipping Costs - Shipping costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $952 and $649, respectively. All shipping costs billed directly to the customer are directly offset to shipping costs resulting in a net expense to the Company which is included in cost of goods sold in shipments of operations.
Revenue Recognition and Concentration

Revenue Recognition and Concentration - The Company recognizes revenues for the sale of its products in the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a customer, distributor or dealer exists, product delivery and acceptance have occurred and title has transferred to the customer, dealer or the distributor, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company generally recognizes revenue on sales to customer, dealer and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory. The Company generally ships FOB Shipping Point terms. Shipping documents are used to verify delivery and customer acceptance. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and quantity of drones being purchased. The Company assesses collectability based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by evaluations and the customer’s payment history. Additionally, customers are required to place a deposit on each drone ordered.

 

The Company has executed one significant non-exclusive worldwide distributor agreement in 2016 and a dealer agreement whereby the dealer and distributor agreed to purchase AgEagle drones and other related products. Only the non-exclusive worldwide distributor has the right of return within twelve months of purchase up to a certain percentage of the annual sales volume less a restocking fee. As of March 31, 2018, no sales of the Company are subject to this right of return clause per the distributor agreement.

 

Sales concentration information for customers comprising more than 10% of our total net sales such customers is summarized below: 

 

    Percent of total sales for period ended March 31,
Customers   2018   2017
Customer A   31.8%   *
Customer B   27.8%                  *
Customer C   19.1%                  *
Customer D   *    29.5%
Customer E   *   17.7%
Customer F   *     10.02%
*- Represents less than 10% of total revenue

  
Advertising costs

Advertising costs – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $906 and $1,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options and convertible instruments. 
Potentially Dilutive Securities

Potentially Dilutive Securities - The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 828,200 warrants and 1,184,300 options to purchase common stock, and 623,293 Preferred Series B and C shares which may be converted into 4,497,611 of common shares. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 200,000 warrants and 125,000 options to purchase common stock, and 511,647 potential convertible shares which may be issued resulting from the provisions of convertible notes.
Income Taxes

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. All income tax returns not filed more than three years ago are subject to federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities.
Recently Issued Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This updated guidance supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Topic 606 requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and recognize revenue under the new standard as costs are incurred. Under previous U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), revenue was generally recognized when deliveries were made, performance milestones were attained, or as costs were incurred. The new standard accelerates the timing of when the revenue is recognized, however, it does not change the total amount of revenue recognized on these contracts. The new standard does not affect revenue recognition  for purposes of the Company’s sales as each of the Company’s revenue transactions represent a single performance obligation that is satisfied at a point time, as defined in the new ASU.  Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for these customers at the point in time when the Company’s performance obligation is complete, which is when the customer accepts delivery of the drone. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as  it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial statements. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will adopt and the expected impact of the updated guidance, but does not believe the adoption of the updated guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February, 2016, FASB issued Account Standards Update 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transaction whereby lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance, but does not believe the adoption of the updated guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

  

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
