NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. FORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Air Industries Group is a Nevada corporation (“AIRI”). As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), and the Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”), (together, the “Company”).

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. These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the reported amount of net sales and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which would be recorded in the period in which they become known. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2020 was derived.

Reclassifications

Reclassification occurred to certain 2020 amounts to conform to the 2021 classification. These reclassifications had no impact on the statement of operations.

Liquidity

At each reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company is required to make certain additional disclosures if management concludes that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and such doubt is not alleviated by the Company’s plans or when the Company’s plans alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations regarding cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balance and expectations regarding cash to be generated over the following year.

Although the global outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the Company’s revenues, earnings and operating cash flows in 2020, management believes the Company’s operations substantially returned to normal in fiscal 2021. With nine months of fiscal 2021 now completed and the Company beginning to see the benefits from its recent investments in machinery and equipment, management believes the Company will continue to improve its liquidity. As such, based on the Company generating operating income of $177,000 and $644,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, its current best estimates of fourth quarter fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022 sales, confirmed and expected orders, the strength of existing backlog, overall market demand, expected timing of future cash receipts and expenditures and the Company’s ability to access additional liquidity, if needed, the Company believes it will have adequate cash to support operations through at least November 30, 2022.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventory Valuation

For annual periods, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or estimated net realizable value. The Company does not take physical inventories at interim quarterly reporting periods. For interim periods, substantially all of the inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on annual gross profit percentages of the immediately preceding year as applied to the net sales of the current period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company increased its estimate of its gross profit percentage from the percentage for the prior year based on the better absorption of Manufacturing Overhead which results from increased sales. Adjustments to reconcile the annual physical inventory to the Company’s records are recorded in the fourth quarter.

Credit and Concentration Risks

There were two customers that represented 67.7% and three customers that represented 70.6% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	September 30, 2021			September 30, 2020
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)
1		41.6	%		23.2	%
2		26.1	%		25.8	%
3		*			21.6	%

Customer was less than 10% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

There were three customers that represented 75.5% and 74.2% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	September 30, 2021			September 30, 2020
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)
1		36.8	%		28.2	%
2		26.2	%		32.1	%
3		12.5	%		13.9	%

There were two customers that represented 68.9% and three customers that represented 80.3% of gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

	Percentage of Receivables
Customer	September 30, 2021			December 31, 2020

1		53.5	%		57.1	%
2		15.4	%		*
3		**			12.0	%
4		**			11.2	%

Customer was less than 10% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2020.

Customer was less than 10% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

During the year, the Company had occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

Major Suppliers

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 or unwilling to provide parts for any reason, its business could be severely harmed.

To date, global supply chain constraints that have been impacting the aerospace and defense industry have not materially impacted our ability to source parts or operate our business.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” All leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of- use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense. See Note 4.

Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) 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.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the numerator includes net income plus interest on convertible notes payable assumed converted as of the first day of the period. The denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method.

The following is the calculation of net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders utilized to calculate the EPS:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2021			September 30, 2020			September 30, 2021		September 30, 2020
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)

(Loss) Income used to calculate diluted earnings per share	$	(66,000	)	$	(477,000	)	$	253,000	$	(1,003,000	)

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

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 expense for employees amounted to $147,000 and $52,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $361,000 and $266,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock compensation expense for directors amounted to $52,000 and $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $156,000 and $159,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock compensation expense for employees and directors 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 $163,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 relates to the acquisition of NTW.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least 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 will test Goodwill for impairment at December 31, 2021, and has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016- 13”), which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU 2016-13 credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Once the new pronouncement is adopted by the Company, the allowance for credit losses must be adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides no threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or not yet due may not require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, the Company will have to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables under ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in a future period closer to the date of adoption.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06), which is intended to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance on the basis of feedback from financial statement users. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods in those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848): Scope: which clarified the scope of ASU 2020-04. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of these ASU’s did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modification or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”), which will clarify and reduce diversity in practice. Specifically, the new standard includes a recognition model comprising four categories of transactions and corresponding accounting treatment for each category. The category that would apply to a modification or an exchange of an equity-classified warrant would depend on the substance of the modification transaction (e.g. a financing transaction to raise equity versus one to raise debt). This recognition model is premised on the idea that the accounting for the transaction should not differ from what it would have been had the issuer of the warrants paid cash instead of modifying the warrants. ASU 2021-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Sterling National Bank (“SNB”)

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a loan facility (“SNB Facility”) with SNB expiring on December 30, 2022. The loan facility provides for a $16,000,000 revolving loan (“SNB revolving line of credit”) and a term loan (“SNB term loan”).

In 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment”). The terms of the amendment increase the Term Loan to $5,685,000. The repayment terms of the term loan were amended to provide monthly principal installments in the amount of $67,679 beginning on December 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. Additionally, the date by which certain subordinated third-party notes need to be extended was changed from September 30, 2020 to November 30, 2020. The Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000.

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Amendment”). The purpose of the Second Amendment was to clarify the definition and calculation of Excess Cash Flow, and to confirm the extension of the due date for the payment of the Excess Cash Flow payment. For so long as the SNB term loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year the Company shall pay to SNB an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the excess Cash flow for such fiscal year and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. Such payment shall be made to SNB and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to the close of the fiscal year immediately following such fiscal year. The amount of the Excess Cash Flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2020 was calculated to be $558,750. Per the terms of the Second Amendment, the Excess Cash Flow is payable in three instalments of $186,250 on each of June 15, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 15, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company paid this in full. Additionally, the Company paid an amendment fee of $10,000.

The terms of the SNB Facility require that, among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each Fiscal Quarter beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants. The SNB Facility also restricts the amount of dividends the Company may pay to its stockholders. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral under the SNB Facility.

The aggregate payments for the term note at September 30, 2021 are as follows:

For the twelve months ending	Amount
December 31, 2021 (remainder of the year)	$	203,000
December 31, 2022		4,247,000
SNB Term Loan payable		4,450,000

Total SNB Term Loan payable, net of debt issuance costs		4,411,000
Less: Current portion of SNB Term Loan payable		(812,000	)
Total long-term portion of SNB Term Loan payable	$	3,599,000

Under the terms of the SNB Facility, both the SNB revolving line of credit and the SNB term loan bear an interest rate equal to 30-day LIBOR (with a 1% floor) plus 2.5%. The average interest rate charged during the period ended September 30, 2021 was 3.5%.

As of September 30, 2021, the debt to SNB in the amount of $17,874,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $13,463,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $4,411,000. As of December 31, 2020, the debt to SNB in the amount of $21,207,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $15,649,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $5,558,000.

Interest expense related to the SNB Facility amounted to approximately $181,000 and $147,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $542,000 and $420,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2021, respectively.

Loans Payable – Financed Assets

The Company financed the purchase of a delivery vehicle in July 2020. The loan obligation totaled $41,000 and $48,000 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The loan bears no interest and a final payment is due and payable for all unpaid principal on July 20, 2026.

Amortization of debt discount on these notes amounted to approximately $0 and $7,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These costs are included in interest and financing costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 6. LIABILITY RELATED TO THE SALE OF FUTURE PROCEEDS FROM DISPOSITION OF SUBSIDIARY

In connection with the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”) to Meyer Tool, Inc., (“Meyer”) in 2017, Meyer was obligated to pay the Company within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing April 1, 2017, an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the net sales of AMK for that quarter until the aggregate payments made to the Company (the “Meyer Agreement”) equals $1,500,000 (the “Maximum Amount”).

In order to increase liquidity, on January 15, 2019, the Company entered into a “Purchase Agreement” with 15 accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), including Michael and Robert Taglich, pursuant to which the Company assigned to the Purchasers all of its rights, title and interest to the remaining $1,137,000 of the $1,500,000 in payments due from Meyer for the sale of AMK (the “Remaining Amount”) for an immediate payment of $800,000, including $100,000 from each of Michael and Robert Taglich, and $75,000 for the benefit of the children of Michael Taglich. The timing of the payments is based upon the net sales of AMK. If the Purchasers have not received the entire Remaining Amount by March 31, 2023, they have the right to demand payment of their pro rata portion of the unpaid Remaining Amount from the Company (“Put Right”). To the extent the Purchasers exercise their Put Right, the remaining payments from Meyer will be retained by the Company.

The Company recognized $79,000 and $91,000 of non-cash income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $274,000 and $302,000 of non-cash income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflected in “other income, net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and recorded $24,000 and $26,000 of related non-cash interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $82,000 and $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 8. CONTINGENCIES

A number of actions have been 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 portions of these claims represent amounts included in accounts payable they are not specifically discussed herein.

Contract Pharmacal Corp. (“Contact Pharmacal”) commenced an action on October 2, 2018, relating to a Sublease entered into between the Company and Contract Pharmacal in May 2018 with respect to the property at 110 Plant Avenue, Hauppauge, New York. In the action Contract Pharmacal originally sought damages in excess of $1,000,000 for the Company’s failure to make the entire premises available by the Sublease commencement date. On July 8, 2021, the Court denied Contract Pharmacal’s Motion for Summary Judgement. In the Order, the Court granted Contract Pharmacal’s Motions to drop its claim for specific performance and to amend its Complaint to reduce its claim for damages to $700,000. The Company continues to dispute the validity of the claims asserted by Contract Pharmacal and believes it has meritorious defenses to those claims. As of September 30, 2021, it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, as such there has been no accrual.

From time to time the Company may be engaged in various lawsuits and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Currently management is not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in its judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. There are no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder of its common stock, is an adverse party or has a material interest averse to our interest.

Note 9. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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 the Company’s annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.

As a result of the passage of the CARES Act, the Company filed for a net operating loss carryback claim of $1,416,000 in March 2020. The refund was received in April 2020.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company provided a full 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.

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 standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

The Company currently divides its operations into two operating segments: Complex Machining, which consists of AIM and NTW; and Turbine Engine Components, which consists of Sterling. Along with its operating subsidiaries, the Company reports the results of its corporate division as an independent segment.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Intersegment transfers are recorded at the transferor’s cost, and there is no intercompany profit or loss on intersegment transfers. Management evaluates performance based on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed.

Financial information about the Company’s reporting segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and 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, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in this report that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

The financial statements contained in this report as well as the discussion below principally reflect the status of our business and the results of our operations as of September 30, 2021.

AIM became a public company in 2005 and we are an aerospace company operating primarily in the defense industry. Our Complex Machining segment manufactures structural parts and assemblies that focus on flight safety, including landing gear, arresting gear, engine mounts, flight controls, throttle quadrants, and other components. 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 the Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk, Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Northrop Grumman E2D Hawkeye, the US Navy F-18 and USAF F-16 fighter aircraft, Boeing 777 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 the Boeing 777, in addition to a number of ground-power turbine applications.

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.

We are currently focused on maintaining profitability, achieving positive cash flows from operating activities and remain resolute on meeting customers’ needs. In order to take advantage of the long-term growth opportunities we see in our markets, we have made significant capital investments in new equipment in recent years and have expanded our operations and manufacturing cells located in our Connecticut facility where our Turbine Engine segment is located. We believe these investments will increase the volume and efficiency of production, increase the size of product we can make and allow us to offer additional services to our customers. We are pleased with the positive responses received from our customers to date.

Our ability to continue to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows from operating activities 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. 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 decreases 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. Recent increases in Defense Department spending have increased orders for our products. Reductions to the Defense Department budget or decreased usage of aircraft reduces the demand for both new production and replacement spares and could adversely impact our business and our revenues. 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.

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, ASC 280 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 two operating segments: Complex Machining and Turbine Engine Components. Along with our operating subsidiaries, we report the results of our corporate office as an independent segment.

The accounting policies of our 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2021

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $14,354,000, an increase of $692,000, or 5.1%, compared with $13,662,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in consolidated net sales is driven by our ability to increase production and return to pre-COVID-19 business environment.

Net sales of our Complex Machining segment were $13,043,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $620,000, or 5.0%, from $12,423,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net sales in our Turbine Engine Components segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,311,000, an increase of $72,000, or 5.8%, compared with $1,239,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

As indicated in the table below, two customers represented 67.7% and three customers represented 70.6% of total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	2021			2020
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)

Goodrich Landing Gear Systems		41.6	%		23.20	%
Sikorsky Aircraft		26.1	%		25.80	%
United States Department of Defense		*			21.60	%

Customer was less than 10% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross Profit:

Consolidated gross profit from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $2,014,000, an increase of $358,000, or 21.6%, as compared to gross profit of $1,656,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 14.0% and 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During interim periods, substantially all of our inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on annual gross profit percentages of the immediately preceding year as applied to the net sales of the current period. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we increased our estimate of the gross profit percentage for our Complex Machining segment from the percentage for 2020 based on the better absorption of Manufacturing Overhead which results from increased sales.

Operating Expense

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $1,837,000 and decreased by $59,000 or 3.1% compared to $1,896,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in operating expenses is due to management’s successful efforts to reduce costs as well as timing.

Interest and Financing Costs

Interest and financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $331,000 a decrease of $28,000 or 7.8% compared to $359,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $66,000, compared to a net loss of $477,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The lower loss period-over-period primarily reflects our ability to generate operating income in fiscal 2021 as compared to an operating loss in fiscal 2020.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $43,519,000, an increase of $7,916,000, or 22.2%, compared with $35,603,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in consolidated net sales is driven by our ability to increase production and return to pre-Covid-19 business environment.

Net sales of our Complex Machining segment were $38,992,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $7,197,000, or 22.6%, from $31,795,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net sales in our Turbine Engine Components segment were $4,527,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $719,000, or 18.9% compared with $3,808,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

As indicated in the table below, three customers represented 75.5% and 74.2% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	2021			2020
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)

Goodrich Landing Gear Systems		36.8	%		28.2	%
Sikorsky Aircraft		26.2	%		32.1	%
United States Department of Defense		12.5	%		13.9	%

Gross Profit:

Consolidated gross profit from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $6,414,000, an increase of $1,963,000, or 44.1%, as compared to gross profit of $4,451,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 14.7% and 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During interim periods, substantially all of our inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on annual gross profit percentages of the immediately preceding year as applied to the net sales of the current period. However, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we increased our estimate of the gross profit percentage for our Complex Machining segment based on the better absorption of Manufacturing Overhead which results from increased sales.

Operating Expense

Consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $5,770,000 and decreased by $294,000 or 4.8% compared to $6,064,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest and Financing Costs

Interest and financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $961,000 a decrease of $206,000 or 17.7% compared to $1,167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is attributable to the conversion of our third party Convertible Debt during fiscal 2020.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $21,000, compared to a net loss of $1,003,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, for the reasons discussed above. The Company was able to generate net income for its most recent nine-month period primarily due to the generating of operating income in fiscal 2021 as compared to an operating loss in fiscal 2020. The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $1,414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 pursuant to the filing of a net operating loss claim (see below).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During fiscal 2020, we took advantage of a number of U.S. government programs to improve our liquidity to offset the negative impact to our business from COVID-19. These steps included:

Received Low Interest Loans from the SBA – In May 2020, our three operating subsidiaries entered into government subsidized loans with Sterling National Bank (“SNB”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2.4 million (“SBA Loans”).

Applied for and Received Forgiveness of the SBA Loans – In accordance with U.S. government regulations we applied to SNB for forgiveness of each Loan in full and in December 2020 we received final approval from the SBA that the entire principal amount of our SBA Loans plus accrued interest had been forgiven.

Deferred Certain Tax Payments – In accordance with Section 2302 of the CARES Act, we elected to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s portion of Social Security taxes. These deferred amounts must be repaid 50% on December 31, 2021 with the remaining 50% on December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, we deferred $627,000, which is included in Deferred payroll tax liability – CARES Act on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Received a Net Operating Loss Refund – Pursuant to the CARES Act, we filed a net operating loss carryback claim for $1,416,000, which was received during the second quarter 2020.

Also, the U.S. Department of Defense has, to date, taken steps to increase the rate for certain progress payments from 80 percent to 90 percent for costs incurred and work performed on certain contracts.

In addition to taking advantage of U.S. government programs, during fiscal 2020 we took additional significant steps to improve our liquidity and operating performance, including:

Entered into a Lower Cost Financing Facility – On December 31, 2019, we entered into a new loan facility (“SNB Facility”) with Sterling National Bank, (“SNB”) which expires on December 30, 2022. The SNB Facility provides for a $16,000,000 revolving loan (“SNB revolving line of credit”) and a term loan (“SNB term loan”). The interest on the SNB Facility is more advantageous than that of our previous lending facility which we paid off with the proceeds from the SNB Facility.

Increased Term Loan to Modernize Equipment – On November 6, 2020, we amended the SNB Facility, increasing the Term Loan to $5,685,000. This allowed us to finance the acquisition of the new equipment at what we believe to be a reasonable interest rate.

The repayment terms of the term loan were amended to provide monthly principal installments in the amount of $67,679 beginning on December 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. We paid an amendment fee of $20,000. Additionally, the date by which certain subordinated third-party notes were to be extended by was changed from September 30, 2020 to November 30, 2020. We caused all of these notes to be converted into common stock prior to December 31, 2020.

The formula to determine the amounts of revolving advances permitted to be borrowed under the SNB revolving line of credit is based on a percentage of eligible receivables and inventory (as defined in the SNB Facility).

For so long as the SNB term loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2020, we shall pay to SNB an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. Such payment shall be made to SNB and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to the April 15 immediately following such Fiscal Year.

On June 14, 2021, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Amendment”). The purpose of the Second Amendment was to clarify the definition and calculation of Excess Cash Flow, and to confirm the extension of the due date for the payment of the Excess Cash Flow. The amount of the Excess Cash Flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2020 was calculated to be $558,750. Per the terms of the Second Amendment, the Excess Cash Flow is payable in three installments of $186,250 on each of June 15, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 15, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, we paid the full amount of the Excess Cash Flow. Additionally, we paid an amendment fee of $10,000.

The terms of the SNB Facility require that, among other things, we maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each Fiscal Quarter beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2020. In addition, we are limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures we can make. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all loan covenants. The SNB Facility also restricts the amount of dividends we may pay to our stockholders. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under the SNB Facility.

As of September 30, 2021, our debt to SNB in the amount of $17,874,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $13,463,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $4,411,000.

Conversion and Extension of Subordinated Notes – During 2020, third party holders of convertible subordinated notes of the remaining principal balance plus accrued interest, converted these notes into common stock. In addition, the maturity date of related party convertible subordinated notes and subordinated notes payable in the aggregate amount of $6,012,000 plus $400,000 of accrued interest was extended until July 1, 2023, and we were relieved of the obligation to make any principal payments on these notes prior to maturity.

Because we continue to believe our fiscal 2021 sales will be higher than the amount achieved in fiscal 2020, we believe our liquidity for the remainder of 2021 will continue to improve.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of September 30, 2021 have been taken into consideration in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our condensed consolidated financial statements:

●

Liquidity;

●

Inventory valuation;

●

Revenue recognition;

●

Income taxes;

●

Stock-based compensation; and

●

Goodwill.

We base our estimates, to the extent possible, on historical experience. Historical information is modified as appropriate based on current business factors and various assumptions that we believe are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and make changes when necessary. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter which is the subject of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
