AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Note 1. FORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
On August 30, 2013, Air Industries Group,
Inc. (“Air Industries Delaware”) changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada as a result of a merger
with and into its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation (“Air Industries Nevada”
or “AIRI”) and the surviving entity, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The reincorporation was approved
by the stockholders of Air Industries Delaware at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Air Industries Nevada is deemed to be
the successor.
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”),
Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI” or “Welding”), Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”), Nassau
Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), Woodbine Products, Inc. (“Woodbine” or “WPI”), Decimal Industries,
Inc. (“Decimal”), Eur-Pac Corporation (“Eur-Pac” or “EPC”), Electronic Connection Corporation
(“ECC”), AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”), until sold in January 2017, Air Realty Group, LLC (“Air Realty”),
The Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”), and Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”), (together,
the “Company”).
Going Concern
The Company suffered net losses from
operations of $1,717,000 and $10,789,000 and net losses of $3,126,000 and $15,623,000, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, in 2015 the Company ceased paying dividends on its common stock and in 2016 it
disposed of the real estate on which one of its operating subsidiaries is located through a sale leaseback transaction, and
in January 2017 sold of one of its operating subsidiaries to raise funds for operations. During the year ended December 31,
2016, and subsequent thereto, the Company has had to sell its debt and equity securities to secure funds to operate its
business. Since September 2016 the Company has been issuing additional shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
lieu of cash payment of accrued dividends on its outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and since
February 2017 it has issued additional convertible notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest on its outstanding
convertible notes.
The continuation of the Company’s
business is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow and, pending such achievement, future issuances
of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations. Although no assurances can be given, management believes that the net
proceeds derived from the public offering of 5,175,000 shares of our common stock completed in July 2017, together with borrowings
under the Loan Facility and anticipated cash flow, should provide the necessary funding for us to continue as a going concern for
the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are
unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
31, 2017. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reclassifications
Certain account balances in 2016 have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principal Business Activity
The Company through its AIM subsidiary
is primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft structural parts, and assemblies for prime defense contractors in the aerospace
industry in the United States. NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter
aircraft. Welding is a specialty welding and products provider whose significant customers include the world's largest aircraft
manufacturers, subcontractors, and original equipment manufacturers and upon the merger of Miller-Stuart into Welding, is a manufacturer
of aerospace components specializing in electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies, electronic equipment and printed
circuit boards. Woodbine is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers.
Decimal is a manufacturer of aerospace components specializing in welded and brazed chassis structures housing electronics in aircraft
whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers. Eur-Pac specializes in military packaging and supplies. Eur-Pac’s
primary business is “kitting” of supplies for all branches of the United States Defense Department including ordnance
parts, hose assemblies, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical assemblies. Sterling manufactures components for aircraft and ground
turbine engines. Compac specializes in the manufacture of RFI/EMI (Radio Frequency Interference – Electro-Magnetic Interference)
shielded enclosures for electronic components. The Company’s customers are primarily publicly traded companies in the aerospace
and other industries.
Inventory Valuation
The Company does not take physical inventories
at interim quarterly reporting periods. Approximately 50% of the inventory value at June 30, 2017 has been estimated using a gross
profit percentage based on sales of previous periods to the net sales of the current period, as management believes that the gross
profit percentage on these items are materially consistent from period to period. The remainder of the inventory value at June
30, 2017 is estimated based on the Company's standard cost perpetual inventory system, as management believes the perpetual system
computed value for these items provides a better estimate of value for that inventory. Adjustments to reconcile the annual physical
inventory to the Company’s books are treated as changes in accounting estimates and are recorded in the fourth quarter. The
Company valued inventory at December 31, 2016 at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017
and 2016, the Company had occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company
has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
The Company has several key sole-source
suppliers of various parts that are important for one or more of its products. These suppliers are its only source for such parts
and, therefore, in the event any of them were to go out of business or be unable to provide parts for any reason, its business
could be severely harmed.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations
for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of basic
and diluted earnings per share computations:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under the fair value recognition provision
of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates
the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Stock based compensation
amounted to $0 and $56,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $(73,000) and $83,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition
cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $9,883,000 at June 30, 2017
and December 31, 2016 relates to the acquisitions of Welding ($291,000), NTW ($162,000), Woodbine ($2,565,000), Eur-Pac ($1,656,000),
ECC ($109,000), Sterling ($4,540,000) and Compac ($560,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment,
or if circumstances occur that more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company has determined that there has been no impairment
of goodwill at June 30, 2017.
Debt Issuance Costs
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company
adopted FASB ASU 2015-15 “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt
Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June
18, 2015 EITF Meeting”. The amendments to the SEC paragraphs in this update state that given the absence of authoritative
guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an
entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably
over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit
arrangement. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to interest rate, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments,
including notes payable, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met.
The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host
contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement
of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract in the Company’s
balance sheet.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,
“Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10)” (“ASU 2016-01”).The
main objective of ASU 2016-01 is enhancing the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements
with more decision-useful information. The amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure
of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to increase transparency and
comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information
about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating
Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-10”). The core principle of the guidance
in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The
amendments in ASU 2016-10 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which is not
yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition
requirements of ASU 2014-09. They are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early
adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.
The amendments do not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. The amendments provide clarifying guidance in
certain arrow areas and add some practical expedients. These amendments are effective at the same date that Topic 606 is effective.
Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting
periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Topic 606 is effective for nonpublic entities one year later.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the amendments to Topic 606 and these amendments on its consolidated
financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted cash within the statement
of cash flows. The changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during the period should be included in the beginning
and ending cash and cash equivalents balance reconciliation on the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash or restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one-line item within the statement of financial position, an entity
shall calculate a total cash amount in a narrative or tabular format that agrees to the amount shown on the statement of cash flows.
Details on the nature and amounts of restricted cash should also be disclosed. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in
the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01
(“ASU 2017-01”), Business Combinations, which clarifies the definition of a business, particularly when evaluating
whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or dispositions of assets or businesses. The first part of the guidance
provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business; the second part of the guidance provides a framework to evaluate whether
both an input and a substantive process are present. The guidance will be effective after December 15, 2018, and interim periods
within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for transactions that have not been reported
in issued financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these financial
statements.
In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment
test, which requires determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with its carrying amount has been eliminated.
Thus, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (i.e.,
what was previously referred to as Step 1). In addition, ASU No. 2017-04 requires entities having one or more reporting units with
zero or negative carrying amounts to disclose (1) the identity of such reporting units, (2) the amount of goodwill allocated to
each, and (3) in which reportable segment the reporting unit is included. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective as follows: (1) for a public
business entity that is an SEC filer for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,
Earnings
Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable
Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception.
The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded
conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion
features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted classified as liabilities. A company will recognize
the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified
freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered,
as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible
instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round
as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be
applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance in the current quarter, effective
April 1, 2017. As a result, the warrants issued on May 12, 2017, in connection with the bridge financing, were equity-classified.
The Company does not believe that any other
recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date
of this filing.
On July 12, 2017, the Company sold 5,175,000
shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per for gross proceeds of $7,762,500 in an underwritten public offering (“Public
Offering”) from which it derived net proceeds of $6,819,125, of which approximately $4,000,000 was used to
pay outstanding trade payables, $463,501 was used to redeem an equal principal amount of the $4,158,624 principal amount of the
Notes (the “May 2018 Notes”) sold together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 501,039 shares of common stock,
in May 2017 to 17 accredited investors (including Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich individually and a partnership of which
they are partners) and $2,355,624 was added to the Company’s working capital.
In connection with the Public Offering,
$1,860,908 aggregate principal amount of the May 2018 Notes were converted into an aggregate of 1,240,605 shares
of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, the public offering price of the shares sold in the
Public Offering.
In addition, the restructuring transactions
described below, contemplated by the Public Offering, are to be effected at a conversion price of $1.50 per share following a stockholder
vote thereon at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which it expects to hold in October 2017:
|
·
|
An additional $1,834,214 aggregate principal
amount of May 2018 Notes will be converted into additional 1,222,809 shares of the Company’s common stock.
|
|
·
|
The entirety of our outstanding 1,294,441
shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into 8,629,606 shares of common stock.
|
|
·
|
Notes in the original principal amount
of $200,000 and $300,000 due to Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich, respectively, together with accrued interest thereon,
will automatically be converted into approximately 346,944 shares of common stock.
|
The Company issued warrants to purchase
501,039 shares of common stock as part of the private placement of the May 2018 Notes. The warrants, when issued, were exercisable
at an initial exercise price of $2.49 per share until May 12, 2022, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number
of shares based upon prevailing market prices when exercised. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to anti-dilution and
other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as recapitalizations, mergers
and other business combination transactions. In accordance with the terms of the warrants, the exercise price was reduced to $1.50
per share, the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold in the Public Offering.
In July 2017, the Company amended the
Certificate of Designation authorizing the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50, the offering price of
the shares of common stock in the Public Offering, subject to stockholder approval in accordance with the applicable rules of
the NYSE MKT. In addition, the amendment to the Certificate of Designation eliminated the liquidation preference and
quarterly dividend payable to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock now share
ratably with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis (2.0325 shares of common stock for each share of Series
A Preferred Stock held of record) with respect to dividends declared, paid or set aside for payment, assets available for
distribution to stockholders upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, in addition to voting upon the
election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders for approval, except for matters requiring a class vote of
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock specified in the Certificate of Designation or under applicable law. At a meeting
on July 24, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a further amendment to the Certificate of Designation, subject to approval
by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to provide for the automatic conversion of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share if
stockholders do not approve the Restructuring Transactions at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC”)
The Company has a Loan Facility with PNC
secured by substantially all of its assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility was
amended in June 2016 (the “Twelfth Amendment”) and September 2016 (the “Thirteenth Amendment”). In connection
with the Twelfth Amendment, the Company paid PNC a fee of $100,000 and reimbursed it for the fees and expenses of its counsel.
The Twelfth Amendment provides for a $33,000,000 revolving loan. In addition, in the Twelfth Amendment the four term loans (Term
Loan A, Term Loan B, Term Loan C and Term Loan D) then outstanding were consolidated into a single term loan with the initial principal
amount of $7,387,854. Further, in the Twelfth Amendment the Company acknowledged that there were then outstanding excess advances
under the revolving loan in the amount of $12,500,000.
Under the terms of the Loan Facility, as
amended, the revolving loan now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three- quarters of one percent
(1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans; and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus four and one-half of one percent (4.50%) with
respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. The amount outstanding under the revolving loan, inclusive of the excess advance, was $19,804,000
and $24,393,000, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Because the revolving loans contain a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require
repayment prior to maturity, all of the loans outstanding with PNC are classified with the current portion of notes and capital
lease obligations.
The Loan Facility was further amended pursuant
to the Thirteenth Amendment, to modify the advance rate with respect to our inventory to be the lesser of (i) 75% of the eligible
inventory, an increase from 50%, and (ii) 90% of the liquidation value of the eligible inventory, an increase from 85%, subject
to the inventory sublimit of $12,500,000 and such reserves as PNC may deem proper. In addition, in the Thirteenth Amendment the
lender waived any default resulting from the Company’s obligation to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the period
ended June 30, 2016, consented to the issuance of the Company’s 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes and the amendment to the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred
Stock.
The repayment terms of the Term Loan provided
for in the Twelfth Amendment consist of sixty (60) consecutive monthly principal installments, the first fifty-nine (59) of which
shall be in the amount of $123,133 commencing on the first business day of July, 2016, and continuing on the first business day
of each month thereafter, with a sixtieth (60th) and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the
last business day of June, 2021.
At the closing of the Twelfth Amendment,
the Company paid $1,500,000 to reduce the outstanding excess under the revolving loan from $12,500,000 to $11,000,000. It also
agreed that the excess advances will be paid down by $100,000 each week commencing the second week after the closing of the Twelfth
Amendment.
To the extent that the Company disposes
of collateral used to secure the Loan Facility, other than inventory, the Company must promptly repay the draws on the credit facility
in the amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale.
The terms of the Loan Facility require
that among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and maintain a minimum EBITDA. In addition,
the Company is limited in the amount of capital expenditures it can make. The Company also is limited as to the amount of dividends
it can pay its shareholders, as defined in the Loan Facility.
As of June 30, 2017, our debt to PNC in
the amount of $24,014,000 consisted of the revolving credit loan in the amount of $19,804,000 (inclusive of the excess advance)
and the term loan in the amount of $4,210,000. As of December 31, 2016, our debt to PNC in the amount of $31,042,000 consisted
of the revolving credit note due to PNC in the amount of $24,393,000 and the term loan due to PNC in the amount of $6,649,000.
On June 19, 2017, we entered into the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Loan Facility, which waived the failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the periods
ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the Capital Expenditures covenant for the period ended December 31, 2016. The amendment
also requires that we maintain at all times a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, tested quarterly on a consolidated basis beginning
September 30, 2017, as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, tested based upon the prior three
(3) months, (ii) 1.05 to 1.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, tested based upon the prior six (6) months and (iii) 1.05
to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2018, tested based upon the prior nine (9) months and that we maintain EBITDA of not
less than $345,000 for the period ending June 30, 2017. The amendment also provided that we were not required to maintain a Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing was required to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the periods ending December 31,
2016 and June 30, 2017 and that we are not required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing will be required
of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period ending June 30, 2017. The failure to satisfy the foregoing covenants would constitute
a default under the Loan Facility and PNC at its option could give notice to the Company that all amounts under the Loan Facility
are immediately due and payable. In addition, the amendment reduces the weekly payments we are required to make to reduce our
$2,244,071 over-advance under the revolving credit facility as of June 19, 2017 from $100,000 to $25,000 per week during the period
commencing May 22, 2017 through and including July 10, 2017. We paid $50,000 to PNC in connection with the amendment and reimbursed
PNC’s counsel fees.
Each day, the Company’s cash collections
are swept directly by the bank to reduce the revolving loans and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base formula.
The Company's receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by PNC (subject to the terms of the Loan Facility). PNC
may use some elements of subjective business judgment in determining whether a material adverse change has occurred in the Company's
condition, results of operations, assets, business, properties or prospects allowing it to demand repayment of the Loan Facility.
As of June 30, 2017, the scheduled future
minimum principal payments for the term loan are as follows, however as discussed above, the balance of the term loan has been
classified as current:

Related Party Transactions and Notes Payable
Related party notes payable to Michael and Robert Taglich, and
their affiliated entities, totaled $3,576,000 and $1,086,000, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
On March 17, 2017, the Company borrowed
$200,000 and $300,000 from each of Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, respectively, directors and principal stockholders of our
company, and issued promissory notes in the principal amounts of $200,000 and $300,000 to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, respectively,
to evidence our obligation to repay that indebtedness. The notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are payable on September
17, 2017.
On May 2, and May 10, 2017, the Company
borrowed an aggregate of $750,000 from each of Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich. This indebtedness, together with accrued interest,
were converted into May 2018 Notes on May 12, 2017.
Taglich Brothers acted as a placement agent
in connection with the sale of the May 2018 Notes and warrants discussed below for which they are to be paid commissions in the
aggregate amount of $176,000.
As compensation for its services as placement
agent for the offering of the 12% Notes discussed below, the Company paid Taglich Brothers a fee of $295,400 and issued to Taglich
Brothers five-year warrants to purchase 68,617 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.15, subject to certain
anti-dilution and other adjustments.
Private Placements of 8% Subordinated Convertible Notes
From November 23, 2016 through March 21,
2017, the Company received gross proceeds of $4,775,000 from the sale of an equal principal amount of our 8% Subordinated Convertible
Notes (the 8% Notes”), together with warrants to purchase a total of 383,032 shares of our common stock, in private placement
transactions with accredited investors (the “8% Note Offerings”). In connection with the offering of the 8% Notes,
the Company issued 8% Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $382,000 to Taglich Brothers, Inc., placement agent for the 8%
Note Offerings, in lieu of payment of cash compensation for sales commissions, together with warrants to purchase a total of 180,977
shares of our common stock. Of the $5,147,000 principal amount of 8% Notes issued in connection with the offerings of the 8% Notes,
$2,781,000 principal amount is due November 30, 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and $2,366,000 principal amount is due January
31, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the 8% Notes are junior and subordinate
in right of payment to our indebtedness under the Loan Facility.
Interest on the 2018 Notes is payable on
the outstanding principal amount thereof at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly commencing February 28, 2017, in cash, or
at our option, in additional 2018 Notes, provided that if accrued interest payable on $1,269,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes
issued in December 2016 is paid in additional 2018 Notes, interest for that quarterly interest payment shall be calculated at the
rate of 12% per annum. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per
annum.
On February 28, 2017, the Company
issued an additional $61,596 principal amount of 2018 Notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest for the interest
period then ended, and on May 31, 2017 the Company issued 2018 Notes and 2019 Notes in the aggregate principal amounts of
$68,872 and $72,285, respectively, in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest for the interest period then ended. As of June
30, 2017, the Company had outstanding $5,359,420 principal amount of 8% Notes, including $2,911,135 principal amount of 2018
Notes and $2,448,285 principal amount of 2019 Notes.
The outstanding principal amount plus accrued
interest on the 8% Notes is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock conversion prices ranging from
$2.25 to $4.45 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain
fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business combinations.
An event of default under the 8%
Notes will occur (i) if the Company fails to make any payment under the 8% Notes within ten (10) days after the date first
due, or (ii) if the Company files a petition in bankruptcy or under any similar insolvency law, makes an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or if any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or under any similar insolvency law is filed against the
Company and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof. Upon the occurrence and
continuation of an event of default, holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 8% Notes then
outstanding, upon notice to the Company and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the 8% Notes), may demand
immediate payment of the unpaid principal amount of the 8% Notes, together with accrued interest thereon and all other
amounts payable under the 8% Notes, subject to the subordination provisions of the 8% Notes.
The exercise price of the warrants issued
in connection with the 8% Note Offerings ranges from $3.00 to $4.53 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments,
including stock splits, distributions in respect of the common stock and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such
as mergers and other business combinations, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number of shares depending upon
prevailing market prices at the time of exercise. Of these warrants, 320,702 warrants may be exercised until November 30, 2021
and 243,307 warrants may be exercised until January 31, 2022.
May Note Financing
On May 12 and May 19, 2017, the Company
issued and sold to 17 accredited investors (including Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich individually and a partnership of
which they are partners), its “May 2018 Notes” in the aggregate principal amount of $4,158,624, together with warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 501,039 shares of common stock, for gross proceeds (net of the exchange of indebtedness totaling $1,503,288
due to Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich for working capital advances made on May 2 and 10, 2017) of $2,534,196. Roth Capital
LLC and Taglich Brothers acted as placement agents in connection with the sale of the May 2018 Notes and warrants for which they
are to be paid commissions in the aggregate amount of $191,155.
The May 2018 Notes and warrants were issued
for a purchase price equal to 97% of the principal amount of the May 2018 Notes purchased. The principal amount of each May 2018
Note will be increased by 2% for each 30 days it remains outstanding commencing August 1, 2017. Upon the occurrence of, and during
the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the May 2018 Notes), the May 2018 Notes will accrue late interest at the
rate of 10% per annum. Payment of the principal and accrued interest, if any, on the May 2018 Notes is junior and subordinate in
right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness under the Loan Facility.
The principal amount, together with accrued
interest, if any, of the May 2018 Notes, when issued, were convertible into shares of common stock until November 12, 2017 at a
conversion price of $2.49 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments for stock splits and certain fundamental transactions,
including recapitalizations, mergers and other business combination transactions (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), and
thereafter at the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price and 75% of the five (5) Weighted Average Prices (as defined in the May 2018
Notes) of the common stock during the five consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the day
of a request by the holder for conversion of the May 2018 Note. The Company has the right to redeem all, or a portion of (on a
pro rata basis), of the May 2018 Notes upon written notice to the holders not less than three trading days prior to the applicable
redemption date.
The Company issued warrants to purchase
501,039 shares of common stock as part of the private placement of the May 2018 Notes. The warrants, when issued, were exercisable
at an initial exercise price of $2.49 per share until May 12, 2022, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number
of shares based upon prevailing market prices when exercised. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to anti-dilution and
other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as recapitalizations, mergers
and other business combination transactions. In accordance with the terms of the warrants, the exercise price was reduced to $1.50
per share, the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold in the Public Offering.
The Company early adopted the provisions
of ASU 2017-11 in recognizing the warrants. As a result, the exercise price reset provisions were excluded from the assessment
of whether the warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. The warrants otherwise meet the requirements for
equity classification, as such were initially classified in Stockholders’ Equity. The Company will recognize the value of
the exercise price reset provision if and when it becomes triggered, by recognizing the value of the effect of the exercise price
reset as a deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share.
The proceeds received upon issuing the
May 2018 Notes and warrants was allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The allocation resulted in an effective
conversion price for the May 2018 Notes that was below the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. As such, the
Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature on each issuance date,
resulting in an additional discount to the initial carrying value of the May 2018 Notes with a corresponding credit to additional
paid-in capital.
The Company recognized an aggregate debt
discount on the May 2018 Notes of approximately $2.5 million, comprised of the allocation of proceeds to the warrants and recognition
of the beneficial conversion feature. The debt discount is presented net of the May 2018 Note balance in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the May 2018 Notes using the effective interest method. The
Company amortized approximately $220,000 to interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Note 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and Related Financings
On May 25, 2016, and June 1, 2016, the
Company completed a private placement of 700,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for $10.00 per share and received gross
cash proceeds of $5,250,000, net of $1,750,000 principal amount of our promissory notes exchanged by Michael Taglich and Robert
Taglich, two of our principal stockholders, for shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company had issued the promissory notes
to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich for amounts borrowed from September 2015 through May 2016. The September 2015 loan bore interest
at the rate of 4% per annum and was to be paid on September 7, 2016. The other loans bore interest at the rate of 7% per annum
and were to be repaid on June 30, 2016, or, if earlier, upon the sale of the Company’s equity from which it derived proceeds
of $1,800,000 or $2,000,000 depending upon the promissory notes issued.
Preferred Stock
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock
have a stated value of $10.00 per share and are initially convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $4.92 per share
(subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events). When issued, the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock was
12% per annum, payable quarterly and was to increase to 15% per annum if we were to issue PIK Shares in lieu of payment of cash
dividends payable until June 15, 2018. The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock was originally to increase to 16% per
annum after June 2018, 19% per annum to the extent dividends were paid in PIK Shares. In July 2017, the Company amended the Certificate
of Designation authorizing the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion of the outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50, the offering price of the shares of common
stock in the Public Offering, subject to stockholder approval in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE MKT. In addition,
the amendment to the Certificate of Designation eliminated the liquidation preference and quarterly dividend payable to holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock now share ratably with the holders of the common stock
on an as-converted basis (2.0325 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record) with respect
to dividends declared, paid or set aside for payment, assets available for distribution to stockholders upon the liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company’s affairs, in addition to voting upon the election of directors and other matters submitted
to stockholders for approval, except for matters requiring a class vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock specified
in the Certificate of Designation or under applicable law. At a meeting on July 24, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors
adopted a further amendment to the Certificate of Designation, subject to approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to provide for the automatic conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share if stockholders do not approve the Restructuring Transactions
at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Company has the right to redeem the
Series A Preferred Stock after May 26, 2018 for a redemption price of $10.00, plus accrued and unpaid dividends; however, the Company
may not have sufficient cash available to effect such redemption.
In connection with the placement we incurred
approximately $606,000 of direct offering costs and $57,000 in legal expenses and granted to the placement agents warrants to purchase
8% of the number of shares of our common stock (113,820 shares) issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock sold in
the offering. The warrants are exercisable in whole or in part, at an initial exercise price per share of $6.15, and are exercisable
for cash or on a cashless basis commencing on November 26, 2016 and expiring on May 26, 2021. The exercise price and number of
shares of common stock issuable under the warrants are subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar
events.
Of the proceeds generated by the sale of
our shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $1,500,000 was paid to PNC to reduce the amount outstanding under our Loan Facility.
In August 2016, the Company completed the
private placement of $2,720,000 principal amount of our 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “12%
Notes”), together with warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 110,658 shares of common stock,
for a total purchase price of $2,720,000, from which we derived net proceeds of approximately $2,319,800, which was used to pay
down the Company’s indebtedness under the Loan Facility and for working capital. The Company also issued to Michael Taglich
a 12% Note in the principal amount of $1,520,713, together with warrants to purchase 61,817 shares of common stock, upon surrender
for cancellation of promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000, together with accrued interest thereon and
on notes previously exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock of $20,713. The Company had issued the promissory notes to Michael Taglich
for amounts borrowed in August 2016. The promissory notes bore interest at the rate of 7% per annum and were to be repaid on December
31, 2016, or, if earlier, upon the sale of our equity securities from which we derived proceeds of $2,000,000. In addition, the
Company issued to Robert Taglich a 12% Note in the principal amount of $4,373, together with warrants to purchase 177 shares of
common stock, in consideration of the forgiveness of interest of $4,373 accrued on notes previously exchanged for Series A Preferred
Stock.
The 12% Notes provided for the automatic
conversion of the principal and accrued interest of the 12% Notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00
per share, the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation increasing the number of shares of preferred stock we are authorized to issue from 1,000,000 shares to 3,000,000
shares, including 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Charter Amendment”). The Company issued 438,770
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the 12% Notes on November 30, 2016, the date the Company’s stockholders
approved the Charter Amendment and the Company filed the certificate of amendment effecting the Charter Amendment with the Office
of the Secretary of State of Nevada. As a result of the automatic conversion of the 12% Notes into shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, no 12% Notes are outstanding.
As compensation for its services as placement
agent for the offering of the 12% Notes, the Company paid Taglich Brothers, Inc. a fee of $295,400 and issued to Taglich Brothers,
Inc. five-year warrants to purchase 68,617 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.15, subject to certain anti-dilution
and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business
combinations.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had
outstanding 1,202,548 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2017, we had outstanding 1,294,441 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, including 45,106 shares issued as pay-in-kind dividends (“PIK Shares”) on March 15, 2017 and 46,787
PIK Shares issued on June 15, 2017.
Note 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded no income tax
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the
estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of our annual
earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, their
ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives. As of June 30,
2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company provided a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company
believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

30, 2017 and 2016 is set forth below:

Note 8. SALE OF AMK
On January 27, 2017, the Company sold all
of the outstanding shares of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc. pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 27, 2017 for a purchase
price of $4,500,000, net of a working capital adjustment of $(240,000), plus additional quarterly payments, not to exceed $ 1,500,000,
equal to five percent (5%) of Net Revenues of AMK commencing April 1, 2017. The Company recorded a $451,000 gain on the sale of
AMK.
In June 2017, the Company agreed to a final
working capital adjustment with the buyer reducing the gain on sale from $ 451,000 to $288,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2017.
Note 9. LOSS CONTINGENCIES
During 2016, a number of actions were commenced
against the Company by vendors, landlords and former landlords, including a third party claim as a result of an injury suffered
on a portion of a leased property not occupied by the Company. As certain of these claims represent amounts included in accounts
payable they are not specifically discussed herein.
Westbury Park Associates, LLC commenced
an action on or about January 11, 2017 against Air Industries Group in the NYS Supreme Court, County of Suffolk, seeking the recovery
of approximately $31,000 for past rent arrears, and for an unidentified sum representing all additional rent due under a commercial
lease through the end of its term, plus attorney’s fees. The additional rent due through the end of the term is approximately
$105,000. The litigation is in the discovery stage and the Company believes there is a meritorious defense to the claim or that
the landlord can and will mitigate its future damages by finding a new tenant.
An employee of the Company commenced an
action against, among others, Rechler Equity B-2, LLC and Air Industries Group, in the Supreme Court State of New York, Suffolk
County, seeking compensation in an undetermined amount for injuries suffered while leaving the premises occupied by Welding Metallurgy,
Inc. Rechler Equity B-2, LLC, has served a Third Party Complaint in this action against Air Industries Group, Inc. and Welding
Metallurgy, Inc. The action remains in the early pleading stage. The Company believes it is not liable to the employee and any
amount it might have to pay would be covered by insurance.
Note 10. SEGMENT REPORTING
In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment
Reporting” (“ASC 280”), the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating
segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly
evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company follows ASC 280, which establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements, and requires that companies
report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements
and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed on April 19, 2017, and our Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (Registration No. 333- 219490) filed on July 26, 2017 and declared effective on August 4, 2017, that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
We are an aerospace company operating
primarily in the defense industry, though the proportion of our business represented by the commercial and industrial sector is
increasing. We manufacture and design structural parts and assemblies that focus on flight safety, including landing gear, arresting
gear, engine mounts, flight controls, throttle quadrants, and other components. We also provide sheet metal fabrication of aerostructures,
tube bending, welding and kitting services. Our Turbine Engine Components segment makes components and provides services for jet
engines and ground-power turbines. Our products are currently deployed on a wide range of high profile military and commercial
aircraft including Sikorsky's UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Northrop
Grumman's E2D Hawkeye, the US Navy F-18 and USAF F-16 fighter aircraft, Boeing’s 777 and Airbus' 380 commercial airliners.
Our Turbine Engine segment makes components for jet engines that are used on the USAF F-15 and F-16, the Airbus A-330 and A-380,
and the Boeing 777, in addition to a number of ground-power turbine applications.
Air Industries Machining, Corp.
(“AIM”) became a public company in 2005 when its net sales were approximately $30 million. AIM has manufactured components
and subassemblies for the defense and commercial aerospace industry for over 45 years and has established long-term relationships
with leading defense and aerospace manufacturers. Since becoming public, we have completed a series of acquisitions of defense
aerospace and recently commercial aerospace businesses which have enabled us to broaden the range of products and services beyond
those which were provided by AIM. For example, where AIM was primarily a machining shop, as a result of acquisitions, Air Industries
Group now has capabilities and expertise in metal fabrication, welding and tube bending; the production of electromechanical systems,
harness and cable assemblies; the fabrication of electronic equipment and printed circuit boards; the machining of turbine engine
components, and the assembly of packages or “kits” containing supplies for all branches of the United States Defense
Department, including ordnance parts, hose assemblies, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical assemblies.
The aerospace market is highly
competitive in both the defense and commercial sectors and we face intense competition in all areas of our business. Nearly all
of our revenues are derived by producing products to customer specifications after being awarded a contract through a competitive
bidding process. As the commercial aerospace and defense industries continue to consolidate and major contractors seek to streamline
supply chains by buying more complete sub-assemblies from fewer suppliers, we have sought to remain competitive not only by providing
cost-effective world class service but also by increasing our ability to produce more complex and complete assemblies for our customers.
Our ability to operate profitably
is determined by our ability to win new contracts and renewals of existing contracts, and then fulfill these contracts on a timely
basis at costs that enable us to generate a profit based upon the agreed upon contract price. Winning a contract generally requires
that we submit a bid containing a fixed price for the product or products covered by the contract for an agreed upon period of
time. Thus, when submitting bids, we are required to estimate our future costs of production and, since we often rely upon subcontractors,
the prices we can obtain from our subcontractors.
While our revenues are largely
determined by the number of contracts we are awarded, the volume of product delivered and price of product under each contract,
our costs are determined by a number of factors. The principal factors impacting our costs are the cost of materials and supplies,
labor, financing and the efficiency at which we can produce our products. The cost of materials used in the aerospace industry
is highly volatile. In addition, the market for the skilled labor we require to operate our plants is highly competitive. The profit
margin of the various products we sell varies based upon a number of factors, including the complexity of the product, the intensity
of the competition for such product and, in some cases, the ability to deliver replacement parts on short notice. Thus, in assessing
our performance from one period to another, a reader must understand that changes in profit margin can be the result of shifts
in the mix of products sold. Many of our operations have a large percentage of fixed factory overhead. As a result our profit margins
are also highly variable with sales volumes as under-absorption of factory overhead can decrease profits.
A very large percentage of the
products we produce are used on military as opposed to civilian aircraft. These products can be replacements for aircraft already
in the fleet of the armed services or for the production of new aircraft. Reductions to the Defense Department budget and decreased
usage of aircraft have reduced the demand for both new production and replacement spares. This has reduced our sales, particularly
in our complex machining segment. In response to the reduction in military sales, we are focusing greater efforts on the civilian
aircraft market though we still remain dependent upon the military for an overwhelming portion of our revenues.
Public Offering
On July 12, 2017, we
sold 5,175,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per for gross proceeds of $7,762,500 in a firm commitment underwritten
public offering (the “Public Offering”). We received net proceeds of approximately $6,819,125 from the sale of our
shares in the Public Offering. For additional information concerning the Public Offering and the related restructuring transactions
(the “Restructuring Transactions”), see the discussion under the caption “Liquidity,” below.
Segment Data
We follow Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB”) ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), which establishes standards
for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements, and requires that companies report
financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
We currently divide our
operations into three operating segments: Complex Machining; Aerostructures and Electronics; and Turbine Engine Components.
We separately report our corporate overhead (which was comprised of certain operating costs that were not directly
attributable to a particular segment). Effective January 1, 2015, all operating costs are allocated to the Company’s
three operating segments. As our businesses continue to develop and evolve, and we acquire additional companies, we may deem
it appropriate to reallocate our companies into different operating segments and, once we achieve sufficient integration
among our businesses, report as a unified company.
The accounting policies of each
of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We evaluate performance based
on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of our
results of operations constitutes management's review of the factors that affected our financial and operating performance for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The results of operations of the businesses we have acquired are included
in our financial results from their respective dates of acquisition.

Gross Profit:
Consolidated gross profit
from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,919,000 a decrease of approximately $1,236,000, or 29.7%, as compared
to gross profit of $4,155,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was
17.1% and 21.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. All segments reported declines in gross profit.
The decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales was caused by inventory adjustments during the quarter.
Operating Expenses:
Consolidated operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $4,117,000 and decreased by $65,000, or 1.6%, compared to $4,182,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2016. The modest decrease in operating costs reflected an increase in professional fees, offsetting
cost reduction programs undertaken during 2017. Interest and financing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately
$875,000, an increase of approximately $503,000, or 135.2%, compared to $372,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The
increase resulted from increases in debt in the form of subordinated notes bearing interest at higher rates than debt under the
PNC Loan Facility and to a lesser degree higher interest rates on the PNC loan facility, offset in part by lower principal balances
outstanding on the PNC loans.
Loss before income taxes
for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,171,000, an increase in the loss of $1,793,000, or 474.3% compared to the loss
before income taxes of $378,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016
Net Loss:
Net loss for the three
months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,972,000, an increase in the loss of $1,720,000, or 682.5%, compared to net loss of $252,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2016 for the reasons discussed above.
Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017
Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $33,237,000, a decrease of $1,310,000, or 3.8%, compared with $34,547,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2016. The decrease resulted from an increase at our Complex Machining segment of $ 2,596,000 or 14.6% offset by
decreases at Aerostructures and Electronics, and Turbine and Engine of $ 2,148,000 or 19.2% and $ 1,758,000 or 31.5% respectively.
Excluding AMK which was sold in January 2017, consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately
$32,820,000, an increase of $571,000, or 1.8%, compared with $32,249,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, with revenue in
the Turbine & Engine segment essentially flat year-over-year.
As indicated in the table below, three customers
represented 53.5% and four customers represented 54.0% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Gross Profit:
Consolidated gross profit from operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $5,621,000 a decrease of approximately $1,355,000, or 19.4%, as compared to gross profit
of $6,976,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.9% and 20.2% for
the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
|
·
|
Gross profit at our Complex Machining decreased by 582,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decline in gross profit results from a decline of gross profit percentage resulting from inventory adjustments and changes in product mix.
|
|
·
|
Gross Profit at our Aerostructures & Electronics segment decreased by $434,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The reduction was roughly equal to and caused by the decline in sales.
|
|
·
|
Gross profit at our Turbine Engine Component segment declined by $339,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due the sale of AMK in January 2017 and the loss of its gross profit in 2017. Sterling Engineering, the sole operating company in the Turbine & Engine segment, operated at a negative gross profit for the period due to the under absorption of factory overhead due to low sales volume.
|
Operating Expenses:
Consolidated Operating Expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $7,338,000 and decreased by $1,256,000, or 14.6%, compared to $8,594,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Operating costs decreased due to cost control measures undertaken by management offset
by higher professional fees in the last three months of the half.
Interest and financing
costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $1,768,000 an increase of approximately $891,000, or 101.6%, compared
to $877,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense resulted from increases in debt in the form
of subordinated notes bearing interest at higher rates than debt under the PNC Loan Facility and to a lesser degree higher interest
rates on the PNC loan facility, offset in part by lower principal balances outstanding on the PNC loans.
Loss before income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 was $3,325,000, increase of $861,000, or 34.9%, compared to net loss before taxes of $2,464,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2016.
The Company recognized a benefit for income
taxes of approximately $199,000 for six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to a provision for taxes of approximately $782,000
for six months ended June 30, 2016, a change of $583,000.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30,
2017 was $3,126,000, a decrease in performance of $1,444,000, or 85.9%, compared to net loss of $1,682,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in net income results primarily from the impact of the loss incurred at our Turbine
Engine Components segment and the tax effects discussed above.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a material effect
on our results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are highly leveraged
and rely upon our ability to continue to borrow under our Loan Facility with PNC or to raise debt and equity from third parties
to support operations and acquisitions. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under our Loan Facility. We are
required to maintain a lockbox account with PNC, into which substantially all of our cash receipts are paid. If PNC were to cease
providing revolving loans to us under the Loan Facility, we would lack funds to continue our operations. Over the past twelve months
we have also relied upon our ability to borrow money from certain stockholders and raise debt and equity capital to support our
operations. Should we continue to need to borrow funds from our principal stockholders or raise debt or equity, there is no assurance
that we will be able to do so or that the terms on which we borrow funds or raise equity will be favorable to us or our existing
shareholders.
The Loan Facility has
been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility was amended in June 2016 (the “Twelfth Amendment”), September
2016 (the “Thirteenth Amendment”), January 2017 (the “Fourteenth Amendment”) and June 2017 (the “Fifteenth
Amendment”).
The Twelfth Amendment
provides for a $33,000,000 revolving loan. In addition, in the Twelfth Amendment the four term loans (Term Loan A, Term Loan B,
Term Loan C and Term Loan D) then outstanding were consolidated into a single term loan with the initial principal amount of $7,387,854.
Further, in the Twelfth Amendment we acknowledged that there were then outstanding excess advances under the revolver in the amount
of $12,500,000. At the closing of the Twelfth Amendment we paid $1,500,000 to reduce the outstanding excess under the revolving
loan. We also agreed to reduce the excess advances by $100,000 each week commencing the second week after the closing of the Twelfth
Amendment. In connection with the Twelfth Amendment, we paid PNC a fee of $100,000 and reimbursed PNC for the fees and expenses
of its counsel.
Under the terms of
the Loan Facility, as amended, the revolving loan now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three-quarters
of one percent (1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans; and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus four and one-half of one percent
(4.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. The amount outstanding under the revolving loan (including excess advances) was $19,804,000
and $24,393,000, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Loan Facility was
further amended pursuant to the Thirteenth Amendment, to modify the advance rate with respect to our inventory to be the lesser
of (i) 75% of the eligible inventory, an increase from 50%, and (ii) 90% of the liquidation value of the eligible inventory, an
increase from 85%, subject to the inventory sublimit of $12,500,000 and such reserves as PNC may deem proper. In addition, in the
Thirteenth Amendment the lender waived any default resulting from our failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the
period ended June 30, 2016, consented to the issuance of our 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes and the amendment to our Articles
of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
The repayment terms of the Term Loan provided
for in the Twelfth Amendment consist of sixty (60) consecutive monthly principal installments, the first fifty-nine (59) of which
are in the amount of $123,133 commencing on the first business day of July, 2016, and continuing on the first business day of each
month thereafter, with a sixtieth (60th) and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the last
business day of June, 2021.
The terms of the Loan
Facility require that, among other things, we maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and maintain a minimum EBITDA for
specified periods. In addition, we are limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures we can make. We are also limited to the amount
of dividends we can pay our shareholders as defined in the Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2016, we were not in compliance with
the minimum EBITDA covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Capital Expenditures covenant.
In connection with the
sale of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc., on January 27, 2017 we, together with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Loan Facility which amended certain terms and conditions of the Loan Facility and released AMK from its obligations
under the Loan Facility.
The proceeds of the
sale of AMK, net of a working adjustment in the amount of ($240,000), were applied as follows: $1,700,000 to the payment of the
Term Loan, $1,800,000 to the payment of outstanding revolving loans, and $500,000 to the payment of existing accounts payable.
The remaining $260,000 will be applied to outstanding accounts payable on a future date to be determined by PNC or used to reduce
the revolving loans. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Loan Facility also waived the noncompliance at September 30, 2016 with the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the minimum EBITDA covenants for the period then ended, and required that we maintain a Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, tested quarterly on a consolidated rolling twelve (12) month basis; however,
for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, which was to be tested based upon the prior six (6) months, we were required to maintain
a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 and for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, which was to be tested
based upon the prior nine (9) months, we were required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00.
The amendment also reduced the amount to be paid weekly in repayment of excess advances under the revolving credit facility from
$100,000 to $50,000 for each Monday during the months of January, February and March of 2017. Thereafter, the weekly payments were
to return to $100,000 until such excess advances were repaid in full.
On June 19, 2017, we
entered into the Fifteenth Amendment to the Loan Facility, which waived the failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant
for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the Capital Expenditures covenant for the period ended December
31, 2016. The amendment also requires that we maintain at all times a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, tested quarterly on a consolidated
basis beginning September 30, 2017, as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, tested based upon the
prior three (3) months, (ii) 1.05 to 1.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, tested based upon the prior six (6) months
and (iii) 1.05 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2018, tested based upon the prior nine (9) months and that we maintain
EBITDA of not less than $345,000 for the period ending June 30, 2017. The amendment also provided that we were not required to
maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing was required to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the periods ending
December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and that we are not required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing
will be required of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period ending June 30, 2017. In addition, the amendment reduces the
weekly payments we are required to make to reduce our $2,244,071 over-advance under the revolving credit facility as of June 19,
2017 from $100,000 to $25,000 per week during the period commencing May 22, 2017 through and including July 10, 2017. We paid $50,000
to PNC in connection with the amendment and reimbursed PNC’s counsel fees.
As of June 30, 2017,
our outstanding indebtedness to PNC was $24,014,000 and consisted of revolving loans in the amount of $19,804,000 and the term
loan of $4,210,000, as compared to December 31, 2016, when our debt to PNC was $31,042,000 and consisted of revolving loans of
$24,393,000 and the term loan of $6,649,000. In addition, as of June 30, 2017 we had capitalized lease obligations to third parties
of $3,595,000, as compared to capitalized lease obligations of $4,215,000 as of December 31, 2016.
Significant Transactions Since January 1, 2017 Which Have
Impacted Our Liquidity
Dispositions
On January 27, 2017,
we sold all of the outstanding shares of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc., pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 27, 2017,
for a purchase price of $4,500,000, net of a working capital adjustment of $(240,000), plus additional quarterly payments, not
to exceed $1,500,000, equal to five percent (5%) of Net Revenues of AMK commencing April 1, 2017. In June 2017, we agreed
to a final working capital adjustment with the buyer reducing the gain on sale from $451,000 to $288,000. The proceeds of the sale
were applied in accordance with the terms of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Loan Facility, as discussed above.
AMK, based in South
Windsor, Connecticut, is a provider of sophisticated welding and machining services for diversified aerospace and industrial customers
which we acquired in October 2014.
Series A Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2017,
we had outstanding 1,294,441 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including 45,106 shares issued as pay-in-kind dividends (“PIK
Shares”) on March 15, 2017 and 46,787 PIK Shares issued on June 15, 2017.
In July 2017, we amended
the Certificate of Designation authorizing the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50, the offering price of the
shares of common stock in the public offering of our shares of common stock consummated on July 12, 2017, subject to stockholder
approval in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE MKT. In addition, the amendment to the Certificate of Designation
eliminated the liquidation preference and quarterly dividend payable to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock now share ratably with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis (2.0325 shares of common
stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record) with respect to dividends declared, paid or set aside for payment,
assets available for distribution to stockholders upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, in addition to
voting upon the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders for approval, except for matters requiring a
class vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock specified in the Certificate of Designation or under applicable law.
At a meeting on July 24, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a further amendment to the Certificate of Designation, subject to
approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to provide for the automatic conversion
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share if stockholders
do not approve the Restructuring Transactions at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Private Placements of 8% Subordinated Convertible Notes
From November 23, 2016
through March 21, 2017, we received gross proceeds of $4,775,000 from the sale of our 8% Notes, together with warrants to purchase
a total of 383,032 shares of our common stock, in private placement transactions with accredited investors (the “8% Note
Offerings”). In connection with the 8% Notes offerings, we issued 8% Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $382,000
to Taglich Brothers, placement agent for the 8% Note Offerings, in lieu of payment of cash compensation for sales commissions,
together with warrants to purchase a total of 180,977 shares of our common stock. Of the $5,147,000 principal amount of 8% Notes
issued in connection with the Note Offerings, $2,781,000 principal amount is due November 30, 2018 (the “2018 Notes”)
and $2,366,000 principal amount is due January 31, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). Payment of the principal and accrued interest
on the 8% Notes are junior and subordinate in right of payment to our indebtedness under the Loan Facility.
Interest on the outstanding
principal of the 2018 Notes is payable quarterly commencing February 28, 2017 at the annual rate of 8%, in cash, or if we are prohibited
by applicable law or PNC, our principal lender under our Loan Facility, from paying interest in cash, or we otherwise elect to
do so, we may pay accrued interest, in additional 2018 Notes (“PIK Notes”), provided that if accrued interest with
respect to the 2018 Notes issued in December 2018 (which represented approximately$1,269,000 in principal amount when issued in
December 2016, and as of May 31, 2017, represented approximately $1,336,770 in principal amount after giving effect to the issuance
of PIK Notes ) is paid in additional 2018 Notes, interest for that quarterly interest payment will be calculated at the rate of
12% per annum. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum.
Interest on the 2019 Notes is payable on
the outstanding principal amount thereof at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly commencing May 31, 2017, in cash, or if we
are prohibited by applicable law or PNC, our principal lender under our Loan Facility, from paying interest in cash, or we otherwise
elect to do so, we may pay accrued interest, in additional 2019 Notes. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default,
interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum.
Since covenant defaults
under our Loan Facility have prohibited us from paying accrued interest in cash on our 8% Notes, we have paid accrued interest
on the 8% Notes through the issuance of additional Notes.
On
February 28, 2017, we issued an additional $61,596 principal amount of 2018 Notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest
for the period then ended and on May 31, 2017 we issued 2018 Notes and 2019 Notes in the aggregate principal amounts of $68,871
and $72,285, respectively, in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest for the period then ended. As of June 30, 2017, we had
outstanding $5,359,420 principal amount of our 8% Notes, including $2,911,135 principal amount of 2018 Notes and $2,448,285 principal
amount of 2019 Notes.
The outstanding principal
amount plus accrued interest on the 8% Notes is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at conversion
prices ranging from $2.25 to $4.00 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, and
in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business combinations.
The exercise price of
the warrants issued in connection with the 8% Note Offerings ranges from $3.00 to $4.53 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution
and other adjustments, including stock splits, distributions in respect of the common stock and in the event of certain fundamental
transactions such as mergers and other business combinations, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number of shares
depending upon prevailing market prices at the time of exercise. Of these warrants, 320,702 warrants may be exercised until November
30, 2021 and 243,307 warrants may be exercised until January 31, 2022.
Loans from Principal Stockholders
Recent Loans from Principal Stockholders
On March 17, 2017, we
borrowed $200,000 and $300,000 from each of Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich, respectively, directors and principal stockholders
of our company, and issued our promissory notes in the principal amounts of $200,000 and $300,000, respectively, to evidence our
obligation to repay that indebtedness (the “Taglich Notes”). The Taglich Notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per
annum and are payable on March 17, 2017. The Taglich Notes have been amended to provide for the automatic conversion of the indebtedness
evidenced thereby into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, the public offering price of the shares
of our common stock sold in the Public Offering, following the stockholder vote on the Restructuring Transactions at our 2017 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, even if the Restructuring Transactions are not approved by stockholders in accordance with applicable
rules of the NYSE MKT.
On May 2 and May
10, 2017, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,500,000 from Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich, each of whom loaned us
$750,000. The demand loans were exchanged for May 2018 Notes in the same principal amount of indebtedness.
May Note Financing
On May 12 and May 19,
2017, we issued and sold to a total of 17 accredited investors (including Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich individually
and a partnership of which they are partners), our May 2018 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,158,624, together with
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 501,039 shares of common stock, for gross proceeds (net of the exchange of indebtedness totaling
$1,503,288 due to Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich for working capital advances made on May 2 and 10, 2017) of $2,534,196.
Roth Capital LLC and Taglich Brothers acted as placement agents in connection with the sale of the May 2018 Notes and warrants
for which they are to be paid commissions in the aggregate amount of $191,155.
The May 2018 Notes and
warrants were issued for a purchase price equal to 97% of the principal amount of the May 2018 Notes purchased. The principal amount
of each May 2018 Note will be increased by 2% for each 30 days it remains outstanding commencing August 1, 2017. Upon the occurrence
of, and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the May 2018 Notes), the May 2018 Notes will accrue late interest
at the rate of 10% per annum. Payment of the principal and accrued interest, if any, on the May 2018 Notes is junior and subordinate
in right of payment to our indebtedness under the Loan Facility.
The principal amount,
together with accrued interest, if any, of the May 2018 Notes, when issued, were convertible into shares of common stock until
November 12, 2017 at a conversion price of $2.49 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments for stock splits and
certain fundamental transactions, including recapitalizations, mergers and other business combination transactions (the “Fixed
Conversion Price”), and thereafter at the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price and 75% of the five (5) Weighted Average Prices
(as defined in the May 2018 Notes) of the common stock during the five consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day
immediately preceding the day of a request by the holder for conversion of the May 2018 Note. We have the right to redeem all,
or a portion of (on a pro rata basis), the May 2018 Notes upon written notice to the holders not less than three trading days prior
to the applicable redemption date.
We issued warrants to
purchase 501,039 shares of common stock as part of the private placement of the May 2018 Notes. The warrants, when issued, were
exercisable at an initial exercise price of $2.49 per share until May 12, 2022, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a
lesser number of shares based upon prevailing market prices when exercised. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to anti-dilution
and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as recapitalizations,
mergers and other business combination transactions. In accordance with the terms of the warrants, the exercise price was reduced
to $1.50 per share, the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold in the Public Offering.
Effect of Public Offering and Restructuring Transactions
on our Capitalization
On July 12, 2017, we
sold 5,175,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per for gross proceeds of $7,762,500 in the Public Offering. We received
net proceeds of approximately $6,819,125 from the sale of our shares in the Public Offering, of which approximately $4,000,000
was used to pay outstanding trade payable, $463,501 was used to redeem an equal principal amount of May 2018 Notes at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount thereof and approximately $2,355,624 was added to our working capital.
In connection with
the Public Offering, approximately $1,860,908 aggregate principal amount of the May 2018 Notes were converted into an aggregate
of 1,240,605 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, the public offering price of the shares sold
in the Public Offering.
In addition, the Restructuring
Transactions, described below, contemplated by the Public Offering, are to be effected at a conversion price of $1.50 per share,
the public offering price of the shares sold in the Public Offering, following a stockholder vote thereon at our 2017 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, which we expect to hold in October 2017:
|
·
|
Holders of an additional $1,834,214 aggregate
principal amount of May 2018 Notes have agreed to convert their 2018 Notes into additional 1,222,809 shares of common stock.
|
|
·
|
Holders of our outstanding 1,294,441 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into 8,629,606 shares of common stock.
|
|
·
|
The Taglich Notes in the principal amount
of $500,000, together with accrued interest thereon, will automatically be converted into approximately 346,944 shares of common
stock.
|
Upon consummation
of the Restructuring Transactions, we will have outstanding approximately 24,452,179 shares of common stock and no shares of
preferred stock. In addition, other than the indebtedness under our Loan Facility, which as of June 30 2017, was
approximately $24,014,000, our only other indebtedness for money borrowed is the indebtedness for our 8% Notes, which as of
June 30, 2017 was $5,359,420.
Anticipated Uses of Cash
As a requirement of our Loan Facility
substantially all of our cash receipts from operations are deposited into our lockbox account at PNC. These cash receipts are used
to reduce our indebtedness under our revolving credit note and are then borrowed according to a borrowing base to support our operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Going Concern
We suffered net
losses from operations of $1,717,000 and $10,789,000 and net losses of $3,126,000 and $15,623,000, respectively, for the six
months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016. We also had negative cash flows from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, in 2015 we ceased paying dividends on our common stock and in 2016 disposed of
the real estate on which one of our operating subsidiaries was located through a sale leaseback transaction, and in January
2017 sold this operating subsidiary. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent thereto, we sold debt and equity
securities to secure funds to operate. Since September 2016, we have been issuing additional shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in lieu of cash payment of accrued dividends on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and since February 2017
have issued additional convertible notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest on outstanding convertible notes.
On June 19, 2017, we
entered into the Fifteenth Amendment to the Loan Facility, which waived the failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant
for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the Capital Expenditures covenant for the period ended December
31, 2016. The amendment also requires that we maintain at all times a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, tested quarterly on a consolidated
basis beginning September 30, 2017, as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, tested based upon the
prior three (3) months, (ii) 1.05 to 1.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, tested based upon the prior six (6) months
and (iii) 1.05 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2018, tested based upon the prior nine (9) months and that we maintain
EBITDA of not less than $345,000 for the period ending June 30, 2017. The amendment also provided that we were not required to
maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing was required to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the periods ending
December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and that we are not required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and that no testing
will be required of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period ending June 30, 2017.
The continuation of
our business is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow and, pending such achievement, future
issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations. Although no assurances can be given, management believes that
the net proceeds derived from the public offering of 5,175,000 shares of our common stock completed in July 2017, together with
borrowings under the Loan Facility and anticipated cash flow, should provide the necessary funding for us to continue as a going
concern for the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the
policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results.
Inventory Valuation
For annual reporting,
the Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.
The Company presents
inventory net of progress billings in accordance with the specified contractual arrangements with the United States Government,
which results in the transfer of title of the related inventory from the Company to the United States Government, when such progress
payments are received.
The Company does not
take physical inventories at interim quarterly reporting periods. Approximately 50% of the inventory value at June 30, 2017 has
been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on sales of previous periods to the net sales of the current period. The remainder
of the inventory value at June 30, 2017 is estimated based on the Company’s standard cost perpetual inventory system. Adjustments
to reconcile the annual physical inventory to the Company’s books are treated as changes in accounting estimates and are
recorded in the fourth quarter. The Company valued inventory at December 31, 2016 at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out
basis or market.
We generally purchase
raw materials and supplies uniquely suited to the production of larger more complex parts, such as landing gear, only when non-cancellable
contracts for orders have been received for finished goods. We occasionally produce larger more complex products, such as landing
gear, in excess of purchase order quantities in anticipation of future purchase order demand. Historically this excess has been
used in fulfilling future purchase orders. We purchase supplies and materials useful in a variety of products as deemed necessary
even though orders have not been received. The Company periodically evaluates inventory items that are not secured by purchase
orders and establishes reserves for obsolescence accordingly. The Company also reserves for excess quantities, slow-moving goods,
and for other impairments of value.

Capitalized Engineering Costs
The Company has contractual
agreements with customers to produce parts, which the customers design. Though the Company has not designed and thus has no proprietary
ownership of the parts, the manufacturing of these parts requires pre-production engineering and programming of our machines. The
pre-production costs associated with a particular contract are capitalized and then amortized beginning with the first shipment
of product pursuant to such contract. These costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of the estimated length
of the contract, or three years.
If the Company is reimbursed
for all or a portion of the pre-production expenses associated with a particular contract, only the unreimbursed portion would
be capitalized. The Company may also progress bill customers for certain engineering costs being incurred. Such billings are recorded
as progress billings (a reduction of the associated inventory) until the appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met.
The Terms and Conditions contained in customer purchase orders may provide for liquidated damages in the event that a stop-work
order is issued prior to the final delivery of the product.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes revenue
when products are shipped and/or the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is
probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Payments received in advance
from customers for products delivered are recorded as customer deposits until earned, at which time revenue is recognized. The
Terms and Conditions contained in our customer purchase orders often provide for liquidated damages in the event that a stop work
order is issued prior to the final delivery. The Company utilizes a Returned Merchandise Authorization or RMA process for determining
whether to accept returned products. Customer requests to return products are reviewed by the contracts department and if the request
is approved, a credit is issued upon receipt of the product. Net sales represent gross sales less returns and allowances. Freight
out is included in operating expenses.
The Company recognizes
certain revenues under a bill and hold arrangement with two of its large customers. For any requested bill and hold arrangement,
the Company makes an evaluation as to whether the bill and hold arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition. The customer must
initiate the request for the bill and hold arrangement. The customer must have made this request in writing in addition to their
fixed commitment to purchase the item. The risk of ownership has passed to the customer, payment terms are not modified and payment
will be made as if the goods had shipped.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires
that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.
A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts
for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”
The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The
ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts
for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under
the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair
value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option
pricing model.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents
the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized,
but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances change that will more likely than not reduce the fair value
of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company accounts
for the impairment of goodwill under the provisions of ASU 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), “Intangibles Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 updated the guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill
for impairment. The updated guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is
more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
The Company performs
impairment testing for goodwill annually, or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist, using a three-step approach.
Step “zero” is a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount. Step one compares the fair value of the net assets of the relevant reporting unit (calculated
using a discounted cash flow method) to its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment.
In this process, a fair value for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to
its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill impairment.
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible
assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the period of expected benefit. Long-lived assets and intangible assets
subject to amortization to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the related carrying amount may be impaired. The Company records an impairment loss if the undiscounted future cash flows are found
to be less than the carrying amount of the asset. If an impairment loss has occurred, a charge is recorded to reduce the carrying
amount of the asset to fair value. There has been no impairment as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10)”
(“ASU 2016-01”).The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is enhancing the reporting model for financial instruments to provide
users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement,
presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended to have a significant
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to
increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet
and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended to have a significant impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB
issued ASU 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-10”). The core principle
of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”,
which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and
transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. They are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017
and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and
Practical Expedients. The amendments do not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. The amendments provide
clarifying guidance in certain arrow areas and add some practical expedients. These amendments are effective at the same date that
Topic 606 is effective. Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Topic 606 is effective for nonpublic
entities one year later. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the amendments to Topic 606 and these
amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted
cash within the statement of cash flows. The changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during the period should
be included in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balance reconciliation on the statement of cash flows. When cash,
cash equivalents, restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one-line item within the statement
of financial position, an entity shall calculate a total cash amount in a narrative or tabular format that agrees to the amount
shown on the statement of cash flows. Details on the nature and amounts of restricted cash should also be disclosed. This standard
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.
In January 2017, the
FASB issued ASU 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”), Business Combinations, which clarifies the definition of a business, particularly
when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or dispositions of assets or businesses. The first
part of the guidance provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business; the second part of the guidance provides a framework
to evaluate whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The guidance will be effective after December 15, 2018,
and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for transactions that
have not been reported in issued financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation
of these financial statements.
In January 2017, FASB
issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment, Step
2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with its carrying
amount has been eliminated. Thus, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with
its carrying amount (i.e., what was previously referred to as Step 1). In addition, ASU No. 2017-04 requires entities having one
or more reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to disclose (1) the identity of such reporting units, (2) the amount
of goodwill allocated to each, and (3) in which reportable segment the reporting unit is included. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective
as follows: (1) for a public business entity that is an SEC filer for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard
on our financial statements.
The Company does not
believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statements.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the
JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements
for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company,” we may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities
Act, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We may take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that
we (i) are no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this extended transition
period. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements
may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date
that we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the exemption provided
by Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B), upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our consolidated financial
statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption
is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.
