SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are predictive in nature and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and generally include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions. Certain of the matters discussed herein concerning, among other items, our operations, cash flows, financial position and economic performance including, in particular, future sales, product demand, competition and the effect of economic conditions, include forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of orders, sales, operating margins, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures, distribution channels, profitability, new products, adequacy of funds from operations, and general economic conditions, these statements and other projections contained herein expressing opinions about future outcomes and non-historical information, are subject to uncertainties and, therefore, there is no assurance that the outcomes expressed in these statements will be achieved. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in forward-looking statements contained herein. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and elsewhere in this report and the risks discussed in our other filings with the SEC.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under the securities laws of the United States.

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”), Air Realty Group, LLC ("Air Realty"), The Sterling Engineering Corporation ("Sterling") effective March 1, 2015, and Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”) effective September 1, 2015, (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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reclassifications
Certain account balances in 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Note 2. ACQUISITIONS
The Company accounts for all business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company expenses all costs as incurred related to an acquisition in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Sterling
On March 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Sterling for $5.4 million in cash and 425,005 shares of the common stock of AIRI. The common stock was valued at $9.89 per share, which was the closing share price on February 27, 2015. The cash consideration is subject to adjustment for working capital changes. The Company has also entered into employment and non-compete agreements for two and three year periods with three of the principals of Sterling. The Company financed the acquisition of Sterling with the proceeds from the issuance of Term Loan D (see Note 7).

Note 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principal Business Activity
AIM 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. 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. AMK is a provider of sophisticated welding and machining services for diversified aerospace and industrial customers. 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 consist mainly of publicly traded companies in the aerospace industry.
Inventory Valuation
The Company does not take physical inventories at interim quarterly reporting periods. Approximately 96% of the inventory value at June 30, 2016 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, 2016 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.
The Company valued inventory at December 31, 2015 at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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, the Company’s business could be severely harmed.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income 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 $56,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $83,000 and $54,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 $10,518,000 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 relates to the acquisitions of Welding ($291,000), NTW ($162,000),
Woodbine ($2,565,000), Eur-Pac ($1,656,000), ECC ($109,000), AMK ($635,000), 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
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.
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 amendment 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 amendment to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is part of the FASB Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2016-09 will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments 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.
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 narrow 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.
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.

Note 6. SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTION
On April 11, 2016, the Company executed a Sale - Leaseback Arrangement, whereby the Company sold the building and real property located in South Windsor, Connecticut (the "Property") for a purchase price of $1,700,000. The net proceeds from the sale of the property were applied to the amounts owed to PNC Bank.
At June 30, 2016, the Company classified the Property as Capital Lease Facility with a balance of $1,700,000.
Simultaneous with the closing of the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a 15-year lease (the "Lease") with the purchaser for the property. Base annual rent is approximately $155,000 for the first year and increases approximately 3% per year, each year thereafter. The Lease grants the Company an option to renew the Lease for an additional period of five years. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Company is required to pay all of the costs associated with the operation of the facilities, including, without limitation, insurance, taxes and maintenance. The Lease also contains representations, warranties, obligations, conditions and indemnification provisions in favor of the purchaser and grants the purchaser remedies upon a breach of the Lease by the Company, including the right to terminate the Lease and hold the Company liable for any deficiency in future rent.
The Company will account for the transaction under the provisions of FASB ASC 840-40, “Leases - Sale-Leaseback Transactions”.

PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC")
The Company has a credit facility with PNC (the "Loan Facility") secured by substantially all of its assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility was most recently amended, the Twelfth Amendment, on May 26, 2016, in connection with which 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, exclusive of the excess advance, was $26,936,000 and $29,604,000, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
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 on each Monday commencing the second Monday after the closing of the Twelfth Amendment.
The repayment terms of Term Loan A were amended in 2014. On April 1, 2014, the Company borrowed $2,676,000, representing an additional $1,328,000, to partially fund the acquisition of Woodbine. The repayment terms of Term Loan A consisted of thirty-two consecutive monthly principal installments, the first thirty-one in the amount of $31,859 which commenced on the first business day of May 2014, and continued on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a thirty-second and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016. Prior to the Twelfth Amendment, Term Loans A and B bore 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 three percent (3.00%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
On October 1, 2014, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 under Term Loan B for the acquisition of AMK. The repayment of Term Loan B consisted of sixty consecutive monthly principal installments, the first fifty-nine in the amount of $58,333 which commenced on the first business day of December 2014, and continued on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a sixtieth and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2019.
On December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $2,500,000 under Term Loan C to refinance the Seller Note and Mortgage of $2,500,000 issued as part of the acquisition of AMK. The maturity date of Term Loan C was the first business day of January 2021, and it was to be paid in seventy two consecutive monthly principal installments, which commenced on the first business day of February 2015, and continued on the first business day of each month thereafter. The first seventy-one of the installments were to be in the amount of $34,722 with a seventy second and final payment of any unpaid principal and interest on the first business day of January 2021. Term Loan C bore interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
On March 9, 2015, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 under Term Loan D for the acquisition of Sterling. The repayment of Term Loan D consisted of twenty consecutive monthly principal installments, the first nineteen in the amount of $62,847 which commenced on the first business day of April 2015, and continued on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a twentieth and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016. Term Loan D bore interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 sixty (60th) and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the last business day of June, 2021. 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 Loan.
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 is also limited to the amount of dividends it can pay its shareholders as defined in the Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all other terms of the Loan Facility. Beacause the Loan Facility contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the revolving loan is classified as current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The failure to maintain the requisite Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio constitutes a default under the Loan Facility and PNC at its option may give notice to the Company that all amounts under the Loan Facility are immediately due and payable Consequently, all amounts due under the Term Loans are also classified as current. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, PNC has excluded the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio requirement. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirement. In addition, the Company has requested a waiver from PNC for the failure to meet the minimum EBITDA covenant.
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. Because the revolving loans contain a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the loans are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.
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, 2016, the scheduled future minimum principal payments for the term loans are as follows, however as discussed above, the balance of the term loans have been classified as current:

Note 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock Offering
On May 25, 2016, the Company, entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Agreement”) Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC and Taglich Brothers, Inc., as placement agents (the “Placement Agents”), pursuant to which the Placement Agents agreed to offer on behalf of the Company, on a best efforts basis, up to $7,000,000 of the Company’s securities, (the “Offering”), in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Pursuant to the Agreement on May 25, 2016, and June 1, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of 700,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) from which it derived gross proceeds $5,250,000, net of $1,750,000 of principal amount of the Company’s promissory notes exchanged by Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich for shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a stated value of $10.00 per share (“Stated Value”) 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). In connection with the placement the Company 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 shares of the Company’s common stock (113,822) issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering (the “Warrants”).
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 June 1, 2017. 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.
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) are payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate for the first two years after the date the Preferred Shares were issued (the “Original Issue Date”) of 12% of the Stated Value per share and thereafter at the annual rate of 16% of the Stated Value per share. Dividends are payable on the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on September 15, 2016. The Company may pay dividends in cash or in additional Preferred Shares (“PIK Shares”). If during the first two years after the Original Issue Date the Company fails to pay in respect of any dividend period a dividend at an annual rate of at least 8% of the Stated Value per share in cash, in addition to paying a sufficient number of PIK Shares so that the sum of the cash dividends and PIK Shares paid equals 12% per annum the Company will issue PIK Shares in an amount equal to the product of the proportion of the cash dividend not paid times 3% per annum. Thereafter if the Company fails to pay in respect of any dividend period a dividend at an annual rate of at least 10% of the Stated Value per share in cash, in addition to paying a sufficient number of PIK Shares so that the sum of the cash dividends and PIK Shares paid equals 16% per annum, the Company will issue PIK Shares in in an amount equal to the product of the proportion of the cash dividend not paid times 3% per annum. If the Company pays any portion of the dividends payable during any dividend period in PIK Shares, it will not be permitted to declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock during that dividend period.
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts of cumulative dividends earned and not declared on the Series A Preferred Stock were approximately $82,000 or $0.12 per share and $0, respectively.
Under Nevada law and the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, dividends are payable only when, as and if authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors. After payment of all liabilities and outstanding debt obligations, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive $10.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the payment of amounts available for distribution to holders of the Company’s common stock upon the liquidation and dissolution of our company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock may elect at any time to convert their Preferred Shares into shares of common stock at the conversion rate of 2.0325 shares of common stock for each Preferred Share (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.92 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be 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.
The Company may at its option, at any time and from time to time after the market price of a share of common stock is in excess of $9.84 for 30 consecutive trading days, cause all of the Preferred Shares to be converted into shares of common stock at the then-prevailing conversion rate, subject to the certain conditions set forth in the certificate of designations.
Commencing May 26, 2018, the Company may redeem all of the Preferred Shares for a redemption price of $10.00, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Holders of Preferred Shares will vote on an as-converted basis, together with holders of common stock, as a single class, on the election of directors and all other matters presented to stockholders, except for matters as to which under applicable law and the certificate of designation a class vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock is required. The Company may not, without the affirmative vote of the record holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation authorizing the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless such increase is necessary to pay PIK Dividends, (d) authorize a new series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation or redemption rights senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Common Stock Issuances
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted 52,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to an agreement in connection with the acquisition of Sterling. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 25,000 shares of that restricted stock has vested and is included in shares issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 13,125 shares of common stock upon the exercise of options by certain of its directors.
Stock Options
On March 30, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) which was approved by affirmative vote of the Company’s stockholders on June 25, 2015. The Plan authorized the grant of rights with respect to up to 350,000 shares.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company granted options to purchase 138,000 shares of common stock to certain of its employees.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets related to capital loss and section 1231 loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 amounted to $4,000. Management believes that the remainder of the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company received a notice dated August 8, 2016 from the Internal Revenue Service for examination of its corporate tax return for the year ended December 31, 2014. Since the audit has not been completed, the Company cannot determine if any additional taxes, interest or penalties will be assessed.

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, 2015. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Form 10-K”), 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, we now have 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.
In March 2015 we acquired the Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”). Sterling provides complex machining services and its business is concentrated with aircraft jet engine and ground turbine manufacturers. Sterling’s results are reported as part of our Turbine Engine Components segment.
In September 2015 we acquired the business and operations of Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”) in an asset acquisition. Compac specializes in the manufacture of RFI/EMI (Radio Frequency Interference – Electro-Magnetic Interference) shielded enclosures for electronic components. Its results are reported as part of our Aerostructures & Electronics segment.
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.
A very large percentage of the products we produce are used on military as opposed to civilian aircraft. These products can be replacements parts 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 heavily 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, 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 & 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, 2016 and 2015. 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.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016
Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $19,363,000, an increase of $306,000, or 1.6%, compared with $19,057,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in sales resulted from an increase in our Complex Machining segment totaling approximately $771,000, partially offset by decreases in our Aerostructures & Electronics and Turbine Engine Components segments of approximately $236,000 and $229,000, respectively.
|
·
|
The increase at Complex Machining resulted primarily from an increase in orders and deliveries at Nassau Tool Works.
|
|
·
|
The decline at Aerostructures & Electronics during 2016 reflected the absence of a large contract awarded in 2015 that has historically been awarded biennially. This contract contributed more than $2,000,000 in sales in 2015 and zero in 2016. Sales at this segment other than those resulting from the biennial contract increased and partially offset the decline resulting from the absence of the biennial contract. These sales increases resulted from enhanced business development efforts and the inclusion of Compac Development Corporation acquired in August 2016.
|
|
·
|
The decline in the Turbine Engine Components segment reflected the end of a specific project at Sterling Engineering Corporation, partially offset by gains at AMK Technical Services. Gains at AMK resulted from the acquisition of new customers and contracts.
|
As indicated in the table below, three customers represented 42.4% and two customers represented 29.9% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.5% and 20.4 % for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
|
·
|
Gross profit at our Complex Machining increased by $ 335,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 resulting from higher sales and increased absorption of factory overhead.
|
|
·
|
Gross Profit at our Aerostructures & Electronics segment increased marginally by $ 50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, with gains at some units offsetting a decline at Miller Stuart Inc.
|
|
·
|
Gross profit at our Turbine Engine Component segment declined by $(127,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to lower revenues at Sterling Engineering resulting in under absorption of factory overhead. Gross profit at AMK Technical Services increased slightly.
|
Operating Expenses:
Consolidated Operating Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $4,182,000 and increased by $357,000, or 9.3%, compared to $3,825,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Operating costs increased due to the hiring of additional personnel, including those engaged in business development.
Interest and financing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $372,000 a decrease of approximately $172,000, or 31.6% compared to $544,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was a result of a reduction of amounts of debt outstanding.
Loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $378,000, an improvement of $40,000 compared to loss before income taxes of $418,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our Complex Machining segment experienced a gain of approximately $507,000. Our Aerostructures & Electronics segment experienced a loss of approximately $167,000 and our Turbine Engine segment experienced a loss of approximately $738,000. Corporate had a gain of approximately $20,000.
The Company recognized a benefit from taxes of $126,000 for three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a provision for taxes of approximately $183,000 for three months ended June 30, 2015, a difference of $309,000. The income tax benefit in 2016 resulted primarily from the net operating losses generated by the Company of approximately $370,000, or $125,000, of deferred tax benefit.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $252,000 an improvement of $349,000, or 58.1%, compared to net loss of $601,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 for the reasons discussed above.
Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016
Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $34,547,000, a decrease of $1,321,000, or 3.7%, compared with $35,868,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease primarily resulted from sales at our Aerostructures & Electronics segment of $858,000 and our Complex Engineering segment of $827,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was offset favorably by sales at our Turbine Engine Components segment of $364,000. The parts manufactured by our Complex Machining segment tend to be larger, more complex and have higher unit prices than many of the parts supplied by our other segments. As a result, a small decline in the number of parts shipped can result in a significant reduction in sales.
As indicated in the table below, four customers represented 54.0% and three customers represented 45.3% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are highly leveraged and rely upon our ability to continue to borrow from PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC") to support operations and acquisitions. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under our existing loan agreements with PNC. Our Company is required to maintain a lockbox account with PNC, into which substantially all of our cash receipts are paid. If PNC were to cease lending, we would lack funds to continue its operations. Over the past twelve months we have also relied upon our ability to borrow money from certain stockholders and raise equity capital to support our operations. Should we continue to need to borrow funds from our principal stockholders or raise 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.
We have a credit facility with PNC (the "Loan Facility") secured by substantially all of our assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility was most recently amended, the Twelfth Amendment, in May 2016 in connection with which we paid a fee of $100,000 and reimbursed PNC 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 we acknowledged that there were then outstanding excess advances under the revolver 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, exclusive of the excess advance, was $26,936,000 and $29,604,000, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
The repayment terms of Term Loan A had previously been amended in 2014 when the Company borrowed $2,676,000, representing an additional $1,328,000 and Term Loan A as amended was originally to be repaid in monthly installments of $31,859 continuing until November 2016. On October 1, 2014, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 under Term Loan B for the acquisition of AMK. Term Loan B was to be repaid in sixty consecutive monthly principal installments of $58,333 continuing until November 2019. Prior to the Twelfth Amendment, Term Loans A and B bore 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 three percent (3.00%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
On December 31, 2014, we borrowed $2,500,000 under Term Loan C to refinance the Seller Note and Mortgage of $2,500,000 issued as part of the acquisition of AMK. Term Loan C was originally to be repaid in monthly installments of $34,722 continuing until January 2021. Prior to the Twelfth Amendment, Term Loan C bore interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
On March 9, 2015, we borrowed $3,500,000 under Term Loan D for the acquisition of Sterling. Prior to the Twelfth Amendment, Term Loan D was to be repaid through twenty consecutive monthly installments of $62,847 continuing until November 2016. Term Loan D bore interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
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 sixty (60th) and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the last business day of June, 2021. 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 Loan.
At the closing of the Twelfth Amendment we paid $1,500,000 to reduce the outstanding excess under the revolving loan. It also agreed that to reduce the excess advances by $100,000 on each Monday commencing the second Monday after the closing of the Twelfth Amendment.
The terms of the Loan Facility require that, among other things, we maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and maintain a minimum EBITDA. 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, 2015, we were not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all other terms of the Loan Facility. Beacause the Loan Facility contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the revolving loan is classified as current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The failure to maintain the requisite Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio constitutes a default under the Loan Facility and PNC at its option may give notice to us that all amounts under the Loan Facility are immediately due and payable. Consequently, all amounts due under the Term Loans are also classified as current. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, PNC has excluded the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio requirement. As of June 30, 2016, we were not in compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirement. In addition, we have requested a waiver from PNC for the failure to meet the minimum EBITDA covenant.
As of June 30, 2016, our debt to PNC in the amount of $40,833,000 consisted of the revolving credit note due to PNC in the amount of $26,936,000, the term loans due to PNC in the amount of $7,388,000, and capitalized lease obligations of $6,509,000. This represents a decrease of $3,972,000 in our debt for borrowed monies from December 31, 2015 of $44,805,000, when the revolving note due to PNC was $29,604,000, the term loans due to PNC were $9,833,000, and we had a note in the amount of $350,000, and capitalized lease obligations were $5,018,000.
Subordinated Loans and Issuance of Preferred Stock
During the period September 2015 through May 2016, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,750,000 from two of our principal stockholders. These 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 $2,000,000. The indebtedness related to these loans was converted into a total of 175,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection the private placement discussed below.
On May 25, 2016, and June 1, 2016, we completed a private placement of 700,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock from which we derived gross proceeds of $5,250,000, net of $1,750,000 of principal amount of our promissory notes exchanged by Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich for shares of Series A 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). 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 shares of the Company's common stock (113,822) issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering (the "Warrants"). 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 June 1, 2017. 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 Preferred Shares, $1,500,000 was paid to PNC to reduce the amount outstanding under our Loan Facility.
On August 1 and August 5, 2016, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,500,000 from one of our principal stockholders. The loans are evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are 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.
We anticipate that we may seek to raise cash through the sale of our subordinated debt or equity securities to bolster our working capital. There is no assurance that such equity will be available to us or, if available, that the terms will be favorable to us our current stockholders.
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. In addition, dividends on the Preferred Shares are payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate for the first two years after the date the Preferred Shares were issued of 12% of the Stated Value per share and thereafter at the annual rate of 16% of the Stated Value per share. The Company may pay dividends in cash or in additional Preferred Shares (“PIK Shares”). If during the first two years after the date of issuance the Company fails to pay dividends in respect of any dividend period a dividend at an annual rate of at least 8% of the Stated Value per share in cash, in addition to paying a sufficient number of PIK Shares so that the sum of the cash dividends and PIK Shares paid equals 12% per annum the Company will issue PIK Shares in an amount equal to the product of the proportion of the cash dividend not paid times 3% per annum.

For interim reporting, the Company computes its inventory using the “gross profit” method for some subsidiaries.
For annual reporting, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.
We generally purchase raw materials and supplies uniquely for 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 products, 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.
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.
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 deferred revenues 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is part of the FASB Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2016-09 will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. 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 amendment to Topic 606 and these amendments on its 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 financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) 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.
When we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness related to (i) the inability of our internal accounting personnel to identify, analyze, record and disclose the tax and financial reporting implications of certain complex accounting matters related to non-standard and unusual transactions and (ii) inventory accounting, in particular with respect to tracking for the aging of certain items reserving for slow moving inventory and obsolescence and, consequently, valuation of our inventory. In an effort to eliminate such weakness, we have added Marianne Giglio to our accounting department and entered into an agreement with Chord Advisors, LLC, an advisory firm that provides financial accounting and advisory services to public companies, to assist our internal accounting staff in determining the appropriate tax and financial accounting treatment of our significant transactions and in connection with such other financial reporting matters as our management deems appropriate. Given that such actions were taken recently, they have yet to have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the hiring of Marianne Giglio and the engagement of Chord Advisors as described above, 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.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Reference is made to the risks and uncertainties disclosed in our 2015 Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this report. Prospective investors are encouraged to consider the risks described in our 2015 Form 10-K, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operation contained in this Report and other information publicly disclosed or contained in documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission before purchasing our common stock, in addition to the risk factors set forth below:.
We may not be able to pay cash dividends on our Preferred Shares
Our ability to pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares is limited by applicable law, the terms of our Loan Facility (and the terms of any future indebtedness or other agreements) and our status as a holding company. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we are permitted to pay cash dividends on the Preferred Shares only to the extent that we are in compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the Loan Agreement and we satisfy certain other conditions. If, in the future, we are unable to meet these conditions, we may need to seek covenant changes or we would have to pay all of the dividends accrued for such periods in PIK Shares. There can be no assurance our lenders would agree to covenant changes acceptable to us or at all. In addition, we may in the future incur indebtedness or otherwise become subject to agreements whose terms restrict our ability to pay dividends. In addition, no payment or adjustment will be made upon conversion for any undeclared or, subject to limited exceptions, unpaid dividends.
There is no public market for the Series A Preferred Shares.
There is currently no public market for the Series A Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or for quotation through OTC Markets or any other quotation service. Consequently, it is unlikely that a trading market will develop for the Series A Preferred Shares and that due to the absence of liquidity, you may not be able to sell your shares of Series A Preferred Shares at the price you paid to acquire them, if at all.
The Series A Preferred Shares rank junior to all of our liabilities and will not limit our ability to incur indebtedness and other liabilities that will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Shares.
The Series A Preferred Shares rank junior to all of our liabilities. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, our assets will be available to make payments of dividends on and liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. In addition, the Series A Preferred Shares will rank structurally junior to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries and the rights of any equity holders (other than us) of those subsidiaries. We are a holding company and our ability to pay dividends or otherwise make payments in respect of the Series A Preferred Shares may be limited. If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series A Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding. We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial amounts of additional debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Shares, and the terms of Series A Preferred Shares will not limit the amount of such debt or other obligations that we may incur. In addition, our subsidiaries may issue capital stock or other ownership interests to third parties.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will have no rights as a holder of our common stock until they acquire our common stock.
Until a holder acquires shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, he will have no rights with respect to our common stock, other than voting rights. Upon acquiring shares of our common stock through conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the date you acquire such shares of our common stock.
We may engage in transactions that could dilute the value of shares of our common stock into which shares of our Series A Preferred Shares may be convertible.
We will adjust the conversion rate of the Series A Preferred Shares only for certain events. We will not adjust the conversion rate, among other things, for:
•
|
the issuance of shares of our common stock, or any securities convertible into or exchange or exercisable for shares of our common stock at an effective price per share less than the conversion price;
|
•
|
the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date our Series A Preferred Shares were first issued; and
|
•
|
the issuance of shares of common stock as a dividend on our outstanding shares of common stock or the distribution of any rights or other property in respect of the common stock .
|
If we engage in any of these types of transactions, the value of the shares of common stock into which our Series A Preferred Shares may be convertible may be decreased.
There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock into which our Series A Preferred Shares may be converted.
Future sales or issuances of our common stock, including the issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and upon exercise of our outstanding warrants or for future acquisitions, would be substantially dilutive to the outstanding shares of common stock. We also may issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock in the future, including PIK Shares if we are unable to pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares. Any dilution or potential dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a downward movement in the price of our common stock, which in turn, could adversely affect the value of the Series A Preferred Shares.
We may not be able to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock
Our ability to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock is limited by the terms of our Loan Facility (and the terms of any future indebtedness or other agreements), the Certificate of Designation authorizing the issuance of our Series A Preferred Shares, under applicable law, and our status as a holding company.
We have substantial indebtedness under our Loan Facility and debt service costs associated therewith, as well as an obligation to pay accrued dividends quarterly to holders of Series A Preferred Shares. Although we may issue additional Series A Preferred Shares (“PIK Shares”) in payment of all or a portion of the dividends payable in respect of any dividend period, the issuance of PIK Shares will result in an increase in the rate of dividends payable to holders of Series A Preferred Shares and dilute the interests of our common shareholders. Furthermore, under the terms of the Certificate of Designation authorizing the issuance of our Series A Preferred Shares, we are not permitted to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock during any dividend period if we pay all or a portion of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares in PIK Shares.
The amount available for distribution to holders of common stock upon the liquidation and dissolution of our company will be substantially reduced so long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding.
After payment of all liabilities and outstanding debt obligations, including the indebtedness under our Loan Facility, holders of our Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive $10.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the payment of amounts available for distribution to holders of our common stock upon the liquidation and dissolution of our company. Consequently, there may not be any funds available to pay holders of our common stock upon the liquidation and dissolution of our company as long as the Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding.
