Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company” or “ARC”) is a global advanced manufacturer offering a full suite of products and services to our customers, with specific expertise in metal injection molding (“MIM”). To further advance and support our core capabilities, the Company also offers complementary services including: (i) precision metal stamping; (ii) traditional and clean room plastic injection molding; and (iii) advanced rapid and conformal tooling. Through its diverse product offerings, the Company provides its customers with a holistic prototyping and full-run production solution for both precision metal and plastic fabrication. The Company further differentiates itself from its competitors by providing innovative, custom capabilities that improve high-precision manufacturing efficiency and speed-to-market for its customers.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30, and the quarters for interim reporting consist of thirteen weeks; therefore, the quarter end will not always coincide with the date of the calendar month-end.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP. As such, this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Correction of Immaterial Errors

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company's management determined that there was an error with respect to the recording of the full cost absorption adjustment for inventory. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement both quantitatively and qualitatively and determined that the error was immaterial to all prior consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the correction of the error. The correction resulted in an increase in gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 of $1.0 million which related to the reporting period for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for

Table of Contents

doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, valuation of share-based compensation, useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation of long-lived assets, and income taxes.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, there were no material differences between net loss and comprehensive loss.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Period

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers : Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues 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. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the Company may transition to the standard using either the full retrospective approach or retrospectively with a cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 as of July 1, 2018 and no cumulative effect of the adoption was required. We obtained an understanding of the new standard and determined that the Company will retain much of the same accounting treatment used to recognize revenue as compared to the then existing standards. See below for the Company’s updated revenue recognition policy.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (the “new revenue standard”) with respect to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. As a majority of the Company’s sales revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from its manufacturing facility, and there was no material change in the recognition model historically applied to contracts with customers under the new revenue standard, and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The impact to the Company’s results of operations is not expected to be material, on an on-going basis, because the analysis of the Company’s contracts under the new revenue standard supports a recognition model consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition model.

The Company has historically recognized revenue from two streams, product revenue and tooling revenue. Product revenues are primarily generated from the sale of MIM and related products. Revenue from product sales is recognized as products are shipped, as the Company transfers control to the customer and is entitled to payment upon shipment.

Tooling revenue is earned from manufacturing multiple tools, molds, and assembly equipment as part of a tooling program for that customer. Each tooling program consists of a significant service of production, with highly customized products being produced for each customer. As such, each tooling agreement consists of a single performance obligation. Based on the arrangement with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped, as the Company transfers control of the tooling product to the customer and is entitled payment upon shipment.

The Company has elected to exclude from measurement of the transaction price all taxes (e.g., sales, use, value added and certain excise taxes) that are assessed by a governmental authority in connection with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue net of sales taxes. The revenue and cost for freight and shipping is recorded when control over the sale of goods passes to the Company’s customers.

The Company offers assurance-type warranties for its products and does not have any material separate performance obligations related to these warranties. The Company’s historical rates of return are insignificant as a percentage of sales and, as a result, the Company does not record a reserve for returns at the time the Company recognizes revenue.

Table of Contents

Applying the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

The Company has elected the practical expedient detailed at ASC 606-10-50-13, whereas revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations that will be billed in future periods has not been disclosed.

Deferred revenue consists of customer deposits for the development of the tooling revenue component for the purpose of manufacturing the assembly part. However, as this does not trigger any income as no products have changed hands and this is done more as a collectability measure with the Customer, no other actions other than recording the deposit occur at the time of the transaction. The Company recognizes revenue and the related expenses when the customer approves and accepts delivery of the tooling part component, which is the time when the performance obligation of providing product to the customer occurs. Costs incurred related to tooling components in the process of being developed are deferred and are included as a current assets on the balance sheet.

The Company does not have material amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods is transferred. Contract liabilities consist of customer deposits and deferred revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $0.6 million related to the deferred revenue at June 30, 2018.

In regards to the assembly parts, revenue is recognized when the assembly parts are shipped at the Company’s loading dock, which is when the customer takes control of the goods and the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company does not examine the effects of a financing component as the timing difference between performance and payment is less than 12 months. The Company applies this practical expedient to all contracts entered into for all products.

We did not record any adjustments to our financial statements as part of the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The Company reported segment disclosures at Note 12, which presents disaggregated revenue information for financial reporting purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases : Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”), to supersede nearly all existing lease guidance under GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases. ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating additional changes to our processes and internal controls to ensure we meet the standard’s reporting and disclosure requirements. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statements, the adoption of the ASU will result in the recognition of a right of use asset and related liability with an estimated immaterial effect to our retained earnings. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows; however, the Company’s operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses : Topic 326 (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires entities to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-03 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other : Topic 350 (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU 2017-04 also eliminates the

Table of Contents

requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative step, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for all public businesses that are SEC filers for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on the financial statements. There was no impairment noted during nine months ended March 31, 2019, but the Company expects that this standard will impact the financial statements if an impairment is indicated.

NOTE 3 – Divestitures

General Flange & Forge LLC (“GF&F”)

On September 15, 2017, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of GF&F to GFFC Holdings, LLC (“GFFC”) for $3.0 million in cash. GFFC was owned, in part, by Quadrant Management Inc., which is an affiliate of the Company. The sale of GF&F was therefore a related party transaction. The GF&F sale was made pursuant to an industry-wide auction undertaken on behalf of the Company by a registered investment banking organization that managed the sale process with prospective bidders. GFFC entered into the bidding for the GF&F assets only after the first rounds of the auction indicated uncertainty both in respect to the timing for closing any prospective sale and achieving the Company’s valuation objectives. Mr. Alan Quasha, CEO of Quadrant Management Inc. and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, recused himself from any deliberations or voting by the Board of Directors in respect of the sale of the GF&F assets to GFFC. The Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to oversee and negotiate the sale process. The special committee engaged its own independent legal counsel to advise the special committee in respect of the drafting of the asset sale agreement and ancillary transaction documents in accordance with customary terms and conditions for transactions of this type. In this manner, the special committee was able to conclude that the sale price and the terms and conditions for the transaction were superior to any other offers, as well as fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

Senior Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a new senior asset-based lending credit agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. (“Citizens”) subsequently amended by amendments one through eight (collectively, the “Senior ABL Credit Facility”).

The Senior ABL Credit Facility provides the Company with the following extensions of credit and loans: (1) a Revolving Commitment in the principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Senior Revolving Loan”) and (2) a mortgage-based Term Loan Commitment in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Term Loan”). The loans under the Senior ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets of the Company and guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries who are not borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

The aggregate amount of Senior Revolving Loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of: (i) the sum of 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of 65% of the value of certain eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of certain eligible inventory, plus (iii) an amount not to exceed $4.2 million, which amount will be adjusted based on the face amount of certain letters of credit issued to Citizens in connection with certain operating leases and capitalized leases, minus (iv) reserves for any amounts which the lender deems necessary or appropriate. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $2.0 million available under the borrowing base.

Borrowings under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Base Rate loans will bear interest at the fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) Citizens own prime rate; and (c) the adjusted Eurodollar rate on such day for an interest period of one (1) month plus 1.00%; and (ii) plus the Applicable Rate, as described below. Eurodollar Rate Loans will bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate; plus (ii) the Applicable Rate. The “Applicable Rate” will be (a) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Term Loans, and (b) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Senior Revolving Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Senior Revolving Loans, in each case until December 31, 2016, and thereafter the Applicable Rate will be adjusted quarterly, responsive to the Company’s Quarterly Average Availability Percentage, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Senior Revolving Loans and from 2.25% to 2.75% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Senior Revolving Loans. In addition to interest payments on the Senior ABL Credit Facility loans, the Company will pay commitment fees to the lender of 0.375% per quarter on undrawn Senior Revolving Loans. The Company will also pay other customary fees and reimbursements of costs and disbursements to the lender.

The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including mandatory prepayments due in respect of sales of assets, sales of equity securities, events of default and other customary events, with exceptions for non-core business dispositions.

The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains customary covenants and negative covenants regarding operation of the Company’s business, including maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as restrictions on dispositions of Company assets.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Senior ABL Credit Facility, the Company and the Borrowers together with certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), have entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Citizens dated as of September 29, 2016, which secures all of the loans and credits drawn from the Senior ABL Credit Facility by the Borrowers. The security interests established under the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement include senior secured liens on substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors. The Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the unconditional payment and performance to the lender of all obligations of the Borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

On March 21, 2017, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to modify various definitions, including Consolidated EBITDA and the fixed charge coverage ratio, and amend prepayment provisions.

On May 12, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to amend the definition of capital expenditures and amend the fixed charge coverage ratio effective with the fiscal quarter ending April 2, 2017.

On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

On November 12, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Fourth Senior Amendment”). The Fourth Senior Amendment suspended the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2018. The Fourth Senior Amendment permitted the Company to make infusions of junior capital, which may consist of subordinated debt and/or equity issuances. The junior capital infusions made under the Fourth Senior Amendment will not be subject to mandatory prepayment of the Senior ABL Credit Facility, but are subject to certain limitations in respect of outstanding subordinated indebtedness. The Fourth Senior Amendment imposed a minimum revolving credit availability covenant requiring the Company to maintain at least $3,500,000 of revolving credit available at all times. The Fourth Senior Amendment also reduced the Line Cap (consisting of the lesser of the aggregate revolving credit commitment and the borrowing base) in respect of certain prepayment obligations and conditions precedent to borrowing, by reducing the borrowing base by $1,250,000. The Fourth Senior Amendment contains customary representations and warranties regarding the status of the Company and compliance with all terms and conditions of the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Fifth Senior Amendment”). The Fifth Senior Amendment extended the maturity date of the Senior ABL Credit Facility from August 10, 2019 to November 11, 2019.

On February 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Sixth Senior Amendment”). The Sixth Senior Amendment extended the maturity date of the Senior ABL Credit Facility from November 11, 2019 to February 11, 2020. Additionally, it extended the effective date of the Fixed Charge Ratio to March 31, 2019 with a ratio of 1.10 to 1.00.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on April 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Seventh Senior Amendment”). The Seventh Senior Amendment authorized the Company to obtain a bridge loan of $1.0 million (the “Bridge Loan”) from Quadrant Management, Inc. (“QMI”). Additionally, it permitted the Company’s minimum liquidity to be reduced to $1,750,000 effective March 31, 2019 through May 3, 2019 and waived all covenants as of March 31, 2019 until May 3, 2019.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Eighth Senior Amendment”). The Eighth Senior Amendment extended the maturity date of both the Term Loan and Senior Revolving Loan to December 31, 2020. The Eighth Senior Amendment also authorized the Company to enter into a new $7.5 million junior credit agreement with QMI (the “Junior Revolving Credit Facility”). The Junior Revolving Credit Facility is described below. The Senior Revolving Loan principal amount of $25.0 million was reduced to $17.5 million by reference to the new $7.5 million Junior Revolving Credit Facility principal amount made available to the Company by QMI.

In connection with the Eighth Senior Amendment, the maturity date with respect to the Senior Revolving Loan and the Term Loan was extended to December 31, 2020, provided, however, upon repayment of Company subordinated indebtedness, the maturity date will automatically extend to five years after the Closing Date for Revolving Loans and

Table of Contents

Revolving Commitments, and with respect to the Term Loans, the earlier of the date that is, (i) ten years after the Closing Date, or (ii) the maturity date of the Revolving Loans.

The Company’s Senior ABL Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that require the Company’s compliance. As of March 31, 2019, these financial covenants have not been met, and as part of the Seventh Senior Amendment, Citizens has waived such noncompliance.

Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement

On November 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $20.0 million, five-year Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with McLarty Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“McLarty”), which bears interest at 11% annually ; subsequently the Company entered into amendments one through nine. In May 2018, McLarty rebranded to become The Firmament Group (“Firmament”). Upon an event of default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the interest rate increases automatically by 2.00% annually. The proceeds were used to repay certain outstanding loans under the Company’s previous credit facility. ARC’s Chairman is indirectly related to McLarty; therefore, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to assure that the Subordinated Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

The Subordinated Loan Agreement has been subordinated to the Senior ABL Credit Facility pursuant to a First Lien Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and prepayment terms that are similar to those contained in the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above.

On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio.

On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to authorize discretionary omission by the administrative agent of certain non-cash items from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and to include cash proceeds from the Rights Offering as excluded contributions of capital that will not be subject to mandatory prepayment under the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement.

On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Sixth Subordinated Amendment”). The Sixth Subordinated Amendment extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Loan Agreement from November 11, 2019 to February 11, 2020.

On February 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Seventh Subordinated Amendment”). The Seventh Subordinated Amendment extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Loan Agreement from February 11, 2020 to May 11, 2020.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on April 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Eighth Subordinated Amendment”). The terms of the Eighth Subordinated Amendment permitted the Company to obtain the Bridge Loan and adjusted other unsecured indebtedness limitations, not to exceed in the aggregate $575,000. Additionally, the Eighth Subordinated Amendment modified the minimum availability requirements incumbent upon the Company, as defined in the Senior ABL Credit Facility, requiring availability not to be less than $2,975,000 at any time prior to June 30, 2019 (or less than $1,487,500 until May 3, 2019). The Eighth Subordinated Amendment also waived all covenants as of March 31, 2019 until May 3, 2019.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Ninth Subordinated Amendment”). The Ninth Subordinated Amendment extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Loan Agreement to March 31, 2021. The Ninth Subordinated Amendment also authorized the Company to enter into the Junior Revolving Credit Facility, described below. The ranking of the Subordinated Loan Agreement remains junior to the Senior ABL Credit Facility in repayment and lien priority, however, in conjunction with the Ninth Subordinated Amendment, the Subordinated Loan Agreement ranking was modified to be junior to the Junior Revolving Credit Facility in payment priority and pari passu to the Junior Revolving Credit Facility in lien priority. Subject to such priorities and rankings applicable to the Subordinated Loan Agreement, McLarty has established liens and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The Company’s Subordinated Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require the Company’s compliance. As of March 31, 2019, these financial covenants have not been met, and as part of the Eighth Subordinated Amendment, McLarty has waived such noncompliance.

Junior Revolving Credit Facility

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on May 15, 2019, the Company, as borrower, entered into the $7.5 million Junior Revolving Credit Facility with QMI. At the closing of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility, the liability of the Company to repay the $1.0 million Bridge Loan was rolled into the Company’s repayment obligations of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility and an additional $6.5 million was made available by QMI to the Company. The Bridge Loan terminated upon rollover of its repayment obligation into the Junior Revolving Credit Facility. The Junior Revolving Credit Facility is not limited by any borrowing base or similar requirement. The Junior Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate of 4.5% per annum on drawn capital, to be paid in kind and capitalized in lieu of cash payments. The maturity date of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility is March 31, 2021. No financial covenants apply to the Junior Revolving Credit Facility. There are no mandatory prepayments in respect of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to agreement with Citizens under the terms of the Eighth Senior Amendment entered into simultaneously with the Junior Revolving Credit Facility, the entire availability of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility was drawn in full by the Company and utilized to repay the outstanding amounts previously drawn by the Company from the Citizens Revolving Loan facility. The replenished availability under the Citizens Revolving Loan became immediately available again for the Company to draw upon. Each one dollar of proceeds from the fully drawn Junior Revolving Credit Facility will therefore remain available to the Company through the Senior Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. After the payment in full of the Citizens Revolving Loan facility , the proceeds of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Junior Revolving Credit Facility ranks (i) junior to the Senior ABL Credit Facility in repayment and lien priority; (ii) senior to the Subordinated Loan Agreement in payment priority; and (iii) pari passu to the Subordinated Loan Agreement in lien priority. Subject to such r epayment and lien priorities applicable to the Junior Revolving Credit Facility, QMI has established liens and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

Voluntary repayments of the Junior Revolving Credit Facility are permitted only when no loans are outstanding under the Citizens Revolving Loan facility and only if no default or event of default is continuing under the Senior ABL Credit Facility or would result therefrom (including on a pro forma basis). The Junior Revolving Credit Facility contains cross default provisions to the Senior ABL Credit Facility and the Subordinated Loan Agreement, as well as other material indebtedness.

On May 15, 2019, the Company also entered into (i) an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement with Citizens, McLarty and QMI (the “Subordination Agreement”); and (ii) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with McLarty, together with the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “McLarty Guarantee Agreement”); (iii) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with QMI, together with the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “QMI Guarantee Agreement”); and an Intercreditor Agreement, among the Company, each of its domestic subsidiaries, McLarty and QMI (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), in each case reflecting with respect to the priorities of security interests among Citizens, McLarty and QMI, and the terms and conditions applicable to the guarantees and the collateral granted by the Company and its subsidiaries to Citizens, McLarty and QMI, in each case responsive to the terms and conditions of the Eighth Senior Amendment, the Ninth Subordinated Amendment, and the QMI Junior Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, t he Bridge Loan, the Junior Revolving Credit Facility and an Intercreditor Agreement were entered into by the Company with QMI as a counterparty (collectively, the “QMI Credit Agreements”). QMI is an affiliate of the Company. The QMI Credit Agreements are therefore related party transactions. Mr. Alan Quasha, CEO of QMI and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Mr. Eli Davidai, also affiliated with QMI and serving on the Company Board of Directors, respectively recused themselves from any deliberations or voting by the Board of Directors in respect of review and approval of the QMI Credit Agreements. The Board of Directors convened a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to review and assess the

Table of Contents

terms, conditions and fairness of the QMI Credit Agreements to the Company and its shareholders. In the course of undertaking such assessments, the special committee reviewed similarly situated credit facility transactions. The special committee concluded that all terms and conditions for the QMI Credit Agreements are fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

Loan Contract

On March 23, 2016, AFT-Hungary Kft. (“AFT Hungary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Contract with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt. in an amount equal to €4.0 million (“Loan Contract”). The initial funding of €4.0 million drawn on the Loan Contract occurred on March 31, 2016. Approximately $3.0 million of the net proceeds from the Loan Contract were used to partially repay obligations outstanding under the Senior ABL Credit Facility, with the remaining net proceeds to be used for capital expenditures and other investments to facilitate the export of goods and services provided by AFT Hungary.

The loan matures on March 7, 2021, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 0.98% per annum. The Company is required to make semi-annual principal payments in an amount equal to approximately €400,000 along with monthly interest payments. The Loan Contract is secured by certain of AFT Hungary’s assets, including the real estate and selected machinery and equipment located in Retsag, Hungary.

NOTE 8 – Income Taxes

The income tax receivable was $ 0.1 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, which are included in other current assets. The long-term income tax receivable was $0.2 million at March 31, 2019, which is included in other non-current assets.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was signed into law by the President of the United States. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.4 million due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at a blended rate in the three months ended December 31, 2017, which is fully offset by a reduction in valuation allowance. In addition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.3 million due to a reduction in the valuation allowance previously recognized on alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards. Under the Tax Reform Act, AMT credit carryforwards are refundable credits. The tax expense and benefit are provisional amounts and the Company’s current best estimate. Any adjustments recorded to the provisional amounts will be included in income from operations as an adjustment to tax expense, net of any related valuation allowance. The provisional amount incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the Tax Reform Act and may change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation guidance.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2016 through 2018 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2012 through 2018.

NOTE 9 – Earnings Per Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic and Diluted

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. As a result of the Company’s net loss from continuing operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, approximately 91,168 and 43,938 shares, respectively, and f or the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, approximately 66,179 and 85,316 shares, respectively, were considered anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 10 – Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s share-based compensation arrangements include grants of stock options under the ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2016 ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was $0.1 million, and during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was $0.2 and $0.5 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of March 31, 2019, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

NOTE 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases land, facilities, and equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements expiring through 2022, which contain various renewal options. The Company also leases equipment and a building under non-cancellable capital lease agreements expiring through 2024. The capital leases have interest rates ranging from 2.90% to 8.72%.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, regulatory agency inquiries and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was involved in two legal matters related to fiscal 2016 and 2017. During Q3 2019, both matters were settled resulting in payments of approximately $0.5 million, which was accrued as of March 31, 2019. Other matters may exist that could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods. However, management believes that, after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

NOTE 12 – Segment Information

During fiscal 2017, the Company sold its non-core subsidiaries, Tekna Seal and ARC Wireless. Subsequently, in September 2017, the Company sold its non-core subsidiary, GF&F, which comprised the Flanges and Fittings Group segment. The completed divestiture of these non-core businesses has changed the way in which management and its chief operating decision maker evaluate performance and allocate resources. As a result, during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company revised its business segments, consistent with its management of the business and internal financial reporting structure. Specifically, the Precision Components Group now includes the results of its plastic injection molding operations and its tooling product line, which were previously included within the 3DMT Group. During July 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to market 3DMT for possible sale. The Company completed the sale of the non-core 3DMT on March 29, 2019. Based on this, 3DMT is included in discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively. In addition, its precision metal stamping operations are now reported within the newly created Stamping Group, which were previously included in the Precision Components Group.

Table of Contents

As a result of the above transactions, the Company will report two segments as part of continuing operations: the Precision Components Group and the Stamping Group.

The Precision Components Group companies provide highly engineered, precision metal components using processes consisting of metal injection molding. It also includes our tooling product line and plastic injection molding. Industries served include aerospace, automotive, consumer durables, electronic devices, firearms and defense, and medical and dental devices.

NOTE 14 – Subsequent Events

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Bridge Loan, the Seventh Senior Amendment and the Eighth Subordinated Amendment. The interest rate of the Bridge Loan was 4.5% and the maturity date was stated as June 30, 2019. On May 15, 2019, the Bridge Loan terminated upon rollover of its repayment obligations into the Junior Revolving Credit Facility. See discussion under Note 7 above.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Eighth Senior Amendment, the Ninth Subordinated Amendment, the Junior Revolving Credit Facility, the Subordination Agreement, the McLarty Guarantee Agreement, the QMI Guarantee Agreement, and the Intercreditor Agreement. On the same date, the Bridge Loan terminated upon being rolled into the obligations due and payable under the Junior Revolving Credit Facility. See discussion under Note 7 above.

On April 18, 2019, the Company received notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ’s listing rule 5550 (a)(2), requiring minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).

Table of Contents

days following the date of the notification, or prior to October 15, 2019, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the NASDAQ Staff (“the Staff”) will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance.

If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by October 15, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days compliance period if it elects to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market, so as to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notifications, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

On May 14, 2019, Mr. Aaron Willman accepted updated terms of employment offered by the Company in respect of his services as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and as General Manager of the Company’s subsidiary ARC Metal Stamping, LLC. Mr. Willman will continue to serve in all capacities as an employee at will. Mr. Willman will receive an annual combined base salary for all services in the aggregate amount of $200,000 per annum, subject to increase to match the salary of any new Company Chief Executive Officer if such person is employed by the Company or an affiliate of the Company prior to his or her appointment as CEO. Mr. Willman will continue to be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans, practices, and programs maintained by the Company. Mr. Willman will be eligible for bonuses which could range from $80,000 to $475,000 in the aggregate, subject to accomplishing certain value enhancement milestones for the Company.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 17, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued.

Overview

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. is a global advanced manufacturer offering a full suite of products and services to our customers, with specific expertise in metal injection molding (“MIM”) and precision metal stamping (“Stamping”). To further advance and support these core capabilities, the Company also offers complementary services including: (i) traditional and clean room plastic injection molding; and (ii) advanced rapid and conformal tooling. Through our diverse product offerings, we provide our customers with a holistic prototyping and full-run production solution for both precision metal and plastic fabrication. We further differentiate ourselves from our competitors by providing innovative, custom capabilities, which improve high-precision manufacturing efficiency and speed-to-market for our customers.

Our business model is to accelerate the widespread adoption of MIM, supported by other key technologies, including automation, robotics, and production software in traditional manufacturing, thereby benefiting from the elimination of inefficiencies currently present in the global supply chain. More specifically, the two key pillars of our business strategy are centered on the following areas:

Holistic Manufacturing Solution. The metal and plastic fabrication industries are highly fragmented sectors with numerous single-solution providers. Given the inefficiencies associated with working with these disjointed groups, many manufacturers seek to improve their supplier base by working with more scaled, holistic providers. Our strategy is to facilitate the consolidation and streamlining of global supply chains by offering a holistic solution to our customers’ manufacturing needs. In particular, ARC provides a “one-stop shop” solution to our customers by offering a spectrum of highly advanced products, processes, and services, thereby delivering highly-engineered precision components at efficient production yields. This is evident in the cross-selling we are currently achieving across all divisions.

Accelerating Speed-to-Market. The traditional prototype-to-production process is often subject to lengthy bottlenecks and is characterized by inefficient price quoting delays, time-consuming tooling procedures, and outdated production methodologies. To differentiate itself from competitors, ARC focuses on reducing inefficiencies in the development cycle by offering the seamless integration of a wide-variety of proprietary technologies in order to dramatically reduce the time and cost associated with new product development. Specifically, the Company has developed rapid prototype solutions, short-run production services, in-house rapid and advanced conformal tooling, and rapid full production capabilities.

Separately, U.S. manufacturing has been rejuvenated as global wage disparities and traditional labor-intensive processes are displaced by technology. We believe these macroeconomic trends will aid in the adoption of our business strategy.

Table of Contents

Our key fundamental strengths are built upon core capabilities, including:

Metal Injection Molding. We are a large and well-respected MIM provider. As a pioneer of MIM technology, and driven by our material science understanding, powder metallurgy experience, and established global facilities, we are one of the most advanced MIM operators in the marketplace. ARC provides high-quality, complex, precise, net-shape metal components to market-leading companies in numerous sectors, including the medical and dental, firearm and defense, automotive, aerospace, consumer durable, and electronic device industries. Further, our process is highly automated, utilizing advanced robotics and automation to facilitate high levels of quality and efficiency.

Precision Metal Stamping. We are one of the leading stamping companies, utilizing advanced robotics, automation, and a reduced time-to-market strategy. Our offerings include stamping, robotic and resistance welding, component assemblies, and fuel system tank floats. Our wide range of press capabilities allows us to deliver precision parts of various sizes and materials to the automotive, consumer durable, electronic device, firearm and defense, and through recently awarded contracts, the aerospace industries. Operating out of a modern facility, Stamping’s innovative manufacturing techniques and commitment to exploring new technologies represent a departure from tradition, giving our customers a competitive edge in today’s market.

Additional Complementary Metal and Plastic Fabrication Capabilities. We offer a number of additional specialty metal and plastic fabrication capabilities that enable us to provide our customers with a full suite of custom-component products. Our specialty capabilities include plastic injection molding (including medical clean room applications), magnesium injection molding, and computer numerical control machining.

Our overall growth strategy is centered on:

Driving organic improvement through the expansion and cross-selling of our core services to existing clients.

Accelerating the adoption of our technology by new customers in traditional manufacturing markets.

Expanding our metal processing capabilities to be able to provide additional product solutions beyond traditional offerings.

Improving financial and operational results from the implementation of operational best practices.

Further diversification into aerospace and medical device industries, providing higher overall margins.

Accordingly, all of our business divisions are managed consistently with this strategy in order to drive organic sales growth and cash flow generation, while improving quality, speed, and service to our customers.

Sales

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2018

Precision Components Group sales during the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $1.2 million, or 7.5%. This was due to lower sales in our Plastics division from reduced orders in the defense market. Additionally the company undertook a process to begin divesting low margin and unprofitable programs across all of the Precision Components Group. This process will continue into fiscal fourth quarter 2019.

Table of Contents

Stamping Group sales during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, due to increased automotive sales during second quarter 2019 as compared to the prior year. These increased sales were from new programs ramping up into production. These were offset by lower tool and die sales and new part program delays by our largest customer, which is now expected to launch in first quarter of fiscal 2020. Like the Precision Components Group, Stamping Group has begun divesting low margin and low volume sales programs. These divestitures will continue into fiscal fourth quarter 2020, but are not overall material to the sales of Stamping Group.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2018

Precision Components Group sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $3.0 million, or 6.9%. This was due to the firearms industry continuing its improvement from the sales decline noted in the first three quarters of 2018. Additionally, the Company continued its increase in medical and aerospace sales during the first three quarters of 2019 as part of our focus on selling to those industries.

Stamping Group sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $0.7 million, or 5.4%, due to increased automotive sales during first three quarters of 2019 as compared to the prior year. These increased sales were predominately from new programs ramping up into production. This increase was offset by a delay in program launch by our largest customer, which is now expected to launch in first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors including unit volumes, pricing, product mix, (including the mix of new and ongoing parts), cost of labor and raw materials, competition, new products and service, and capacity utilization. In the case of acquisitions and new customer programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin can improve over time if manufacturing volumes increase and as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2018

Precision Components Group gross profit decreased $1.1 million and gross margin decreased 6.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin are related to an initial increase in staffing early in the quarter. At the same time, the Company experienced a sales decline primarily in the defense sector of the Plastics division. The Precision Components Group, mainly through the ARC Colorado facility, has implemented a plan to reduce costs by $7.1 million on an annualized basis beginning in the middle of March 2019. This plan included cancelling certain operating leases and building leases; increasing spending controls; and a labor reduction of approximately 32% of their workforce. Additionally, the Company started and will continue adjusting pricing or divesting unprofitable business programs to reduce the level of fixed costs. At the end of the quarter, the cost improvement plan was 53% completed, with the end of April achieving 91% of the reduction plan.

Stamping Group gross profit decreased $0.8 million and gross margin decreased 16.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The primary reasons for the decreases in gross profit and gross margin were additional employees hired to support the startup of new programs and the delay of a major program into quarter four of fiscal year 2019.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2018

Precision Components Group gross profit increased $2.8 million and gross margin increased 5.5% during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The increases in gross profit and gross margin were related to both the increase in the overall demand, as well as the Company’s strategic shift to sell more product to the aerospace and medical device industries which typically provide higher margins.

Stamping Group gross profit decreased $1.0 million and gross margin decreased 6.5% during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The primary reasons for the decreases in gross profit and gross margin were due to additional labor and logistics costs.

Table of Contents

The following paragraphs discuss other items affecting the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) from continuing operations totaled $2.9 million, or 14.7% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $3.1 million, or 14.5% of sales, for the three months ended April 1, 2018. SG&A from continuing operations totaled $9.4 million, or 15.3% of sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $9.7 million, or 16.9% of sales, for the nine months ended April 1, 2018. The decreases in SG&A expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily due to lower labor and labor related costs related to cost reduction initiatives.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and other expense, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018. Other income, net, was $0.2 and $0.1 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively. The increase in other income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to a change in foreign exchange rates for foreign denominated accounts.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively, and was $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively. The increase in overall interest expense is related to increased borrowing on the revolver.

Discontinued Operations

On September 15, 2017, the Company sold its subsidiary GF&F. Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 1, 2018, excludes the income from discontinued operations before tax of $3 thousand and the loss on disposition of this business, after tax, of $0.3 million.

On March 29, 2019, the Company the Company finalized an agreement with Aerojet to sell its 3DMT division. For the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2019, 3DMT had a net loss of $3.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, recorded in discontinued operations.

Income Tax

Income tax benefit from continuing operations was $0.8 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and an income tax benefit of $0.1 million the three months ended April 1, 2018, respectively. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.7 million as compared to income tax benefit for the nine months ended April 1, 2018 of $0.2 million.

The primary reason for the increase in tax benefit is due to the expiration of the FIN 48 liability with a three year statute of limitations for tax year ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, held in financial institutions outside the United States. Our Hungarian subsidiary, where these funds are held, is taxed in a similar manner to our domestic subsidiaries. Thus, we would not incur a material tax obligation should we decide to repatriate these funds.

Under our Senior ABL Credit Facility with Citizens Bank, N.A., we will not maintain any cash on hand in our domestic bank accounts by design. Instead, we maintain a $25.0 million asset-based revolver loan, which includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding revolver loan balance. The automatic cash sweep feature serves to decrease

our daily interest expense. Disbursements are paid daily from cash being made available under our revolver loan based on a borrowing base calculation. Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on May 15, 2019, we entered into a new $7.5 million revolving credit facility with Quadrant Management, Inc., and the Citizens revolver loan was correspondingly reduced by $7.5 million.

On February 28, 2018, we completed a Rights Offering during the quarter for net proceeds of $9.8 million, after expenses, and such proceeds were used for general working capital needs.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and revolving loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2019, $10.9 million of borrowings were outstanding under the senior secured revolving loan, with additional borrowings subject to compliance with the terms of our Senior ABL Credit Facility as described in Note 7. While we believe these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to maintain ongoing operations for the next twelve months, we may seek additional sources of capital to provide incremental liquidity, to assist in the acceleration of organic growth, and to support the achievement of other strategic and financial objectives.

Operating Activities

Cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2019, was $0.7 million, which consisted of the following:

Net loss of $11.4 million included $10.2 million of non-cash expenses, which consisted primarily of $7.7 million of depreciation and amortization, loss on sale of subsidiary of $2.1 million, loss on sale of an asset $0.1 million, $0.2 million of share-based compensation; and

Cash provided by working capital of $0.5 million, primarily the result of the increase in outstanding payables and the increase in prepaids. This was reduced by the reversal of the unrealized tax position discussed above for $0.8 million.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, cash used by investing activities was $1.2 million primarily due to the normal purchases of property, plant and equipment as part of the ordinary course of business for the period.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million, primarily due to the net additional debt draws on the Company’s revolving line of credit.

Debt and Credit Arrangements

For a discussion of our long-term debt, see Note 7, Debt, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 to this Report incorporated herein by reference thereto and Note 7, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 .

The descriptions of the Senior ABL Credit Facility and the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement (together, our “Credit Facilities”) do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the respective documents.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of March 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, including estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. Policies determined to be critical are those that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require

Table of Contents

management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to permissive authority under Regulation S-K, Rule 305, we have omitted Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019, at the reasonable assurance level due to weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We previously reported material weaknesses that were identified as of June 30, 2016. The primary outstanding weakness being our information technology and accounting infrastructure was inadequate, which could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters.

Plan for Remediation of the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During fiscal years 2017 and 2018, as part of our efforts to improve on of our internal control environment, we implemented the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting:

We sold Tekna Seal, ARC Wireless, and General Flange & Forge. These entities were smaller entities that contributed to our weak segregation of duties and IT Infrastructure issues;

We improved the operation of our enterprise resource planning system at Advanced Tooling Concepts (“ATC”), which established better access controls, segregation of duties, timely reporting and more efficient processes and operations; and

We reviewed weaknesses in internal controls with our plant general managers and controllers to implement improved controls over information technology, segregation of duties, and policies and procedures.

We strengthened the documentation of processes, procedures and the review and approval of financial activities at our facilities.

To address the material weaknesses associated with the Company’s information technology infrastructure, actions planned in fiscal year 2019 include:

Effective July 1, 2018, the Colorado divisions of ATC, Advanced Forming Technology (“AFT”), and Thixoforming have been combined into one company. The combination of these three divisions into one company will now streamline the process and eliminate redundancy in the monthly closing process and allow us to standardize process across the three former units. This will allow the staff to focus on only one monthly close process which we expect to mitigate weaknesses attributable to inadequate segregation of duties.

In July 2018, the Company upgraded its accounting software to the latest Syteline ERP Version 9.01. The Company plans to revise and implement all the user right permissions in the new software to adequately segregate duties and functions in the system and restrict access to only authorized personnel.

Table of Contents

The Company introduced a systematic tool, Prophix, to improve the efficiency and control over our consolidation process. Implementation of this tool is in progress.

The Company follows best practices IT policies and procedures and performs needed system maintenance procedures even though these two process changes have not been documented in writing. The Company will develop written IT policies and procedures and disseminate to all authorized personnel and maintenance logs will be kept to document the process changes being administered.

The Company plans to implement additional review procedures by the Controllers at smaller facilities to mitigate the inadequate segregation of duties due to having a limited number of accounting staff in those locations.

The Audit Committee has directed management to develop a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remedial measures and will monitor their implementation. In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Management believes the measures described above and other procedures that will be implemented will largely remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, the implementation of certain mitigating processes and procedures will be dependent on certain factors, including, but not limited to, financial performance, and as such, the timing and effectiveness cannot be accurately forecasted at present time. Management is committed to continuous improvement of our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances, not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors since the filing on September 28, 2018 of our from 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, except for the following:

If we fail to comply with the continued minimum closing bid requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) or other requirements for continued listing, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810 (c)(3)(A), if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or prior to October 15, 2019, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the NASDAQ Staff (“the Staff”) will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance.

Table of Contents

A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business development opportunities.
