Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards are based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred stock-based compensation of $
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
NOTE 4 – Investments
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America establish a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
Level 1 – |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. |
|
Level 2 – |
Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
|
● |
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
● |
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
|
● |
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
|
● |
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or by other means. |
|
Level 3 – |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value measurements and levels within the fair value hierarchy of these measurements for the assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills in the amount of $
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers of investments into or out of Level 3 as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and twelve months ended December 31,2024, there were no transfers of investments into or out of Level 3. There are no assets requiring the use of Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
NOTE 5 – Related Parties
The law firm of Wachtel & Missry, LLP provides certain legal services to the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time. William B. Wachtel, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is a managing partner of this firm. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company was billed approximately $
The Company was party to a management agreement with Empire Aviation, an entity owned by the children and grandchild of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former member of our Company’s Board of Directors.
NOTE 6 – Subsequent Events

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Gross Profit was substantially lower on a year over year basis due to the termination of our Concession Agreement to operate the Downtown Manhattan Heliport effective March 29, 2025.
OPERATING EXPENSE
Selling, General and Administrative
Total selling, general and administrative expenses, (“SG&A”), from operations were $264,319 in the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $191,813 or 42.1percent, as compared to the same period in 2024. Total SG&A expenses from operations were $1,640,683 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 representing an increase of $257,398 or 18.6 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
SG&A expenses associated with our operations were approximately $158,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing a decrease of approximately $170,000, or 51.9 percent, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in SG&A on a year-over-year basis is primarily attributable to a one-time charge to record deferred compensation expense relating to a Covenant to Compete Agreement as well as increased professional fees relating to the Company’s ongoing challenge, and pending litigation, of the NYCEDC selection of the heliport’s new operator.
