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 months ending March 31, 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”). The results of Eur-Pac Corporation (“EPC”) and Electronic Connection Corporation (“ECC”) are included in loss from discontinued operations, since operations ceased on March 31, 2019. See Note 2 for details of discontinued operations.

Principal Business Activities

The Company through its AIM subsidiary is primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft structural parts, and assemblies for prime defense contractors in the aerospace industry in the United States. NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter aircraft. Sterling manufactures components and provides services for jet engines and ground-power turbines. The Company’s customers consist mainly of publicly traded companies in the aerospace industry.

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 months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. 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, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2019 was derived.

Reclassifications

Certain account balances in 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Closing of EPC and ECC

Management completed its shut-down plan of EPC and ECC and has closed related operations during the quarter ending March 31, 2019.

Impact of Covid-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President announced a national emergency relating to the disease. National, state and local authorities have adopted various regulations and orders, including mandates on the number of people that may gather in one location and closing non-essential businesses. To date, the Company has been deemed an essential business and has not curtailed its operations.

In accordance with the Department of Defense guidance issued in March 2020 designating the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure workforce, the Company’s facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. government and the U.S. military, however, facility closures or work slowdowns or temporary stoppages could occur. Although the Company’s facilities are open, we have been unable to operate at full capacity or achieve high levels of productivity due to the implementation of enhanced safety procedures and increased employee absenteeism.

Financial impacts related to COVID-19, including actions and costs in response to the pandemic, were not material to the Company’s first quarter 2020 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Going forward, the Company currently expects the COVID–19 crisis to result in a reduction to 2020 revenue and operating margins in portions of its business driven primarily by supplier disruption, changes in employee productivity, and related program delays or challenges. The Company and its employees, suppliers, customers and its global community are facing tremendous challenges and the Company cannot predict how this dynamic situation will evolve or the impact it will have.

The Company has implemented procedures to promote employee safety including more frequent and enhanced cleaning and adjusted schedules and work flows to support physical distancing. These actions will result in increased operating costs. In addition, a number of the Company’s suppliers and customers have suspended or otherwise reduced their operations, and the Company is experiencing some supply chain shortages. Suppliers are also experiencing liquidity pressures and disruptions to their operations as a result of COVID-19. The Company also has large numbers of employees working from home.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides aid to small businesses through programs administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The CARES Act includes, among other things, includes provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs.

In May 2020, AIM, NTW and Sterling (each a “Borrower”) entered into government subsidized loans with Sterling National Bank (“SNB”) as the lender in an aggregate principal amount of $2.4 million (“SBA Loans”). Each SBA Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (“Note”). Subject to the terms of the Note, the SBA Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has an initial term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. At least 75% of the proceeds of each Loan must be used for payroll and payroll-related costs, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the federal statute authorizing the loan program administered by the SBA and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Loan Program”). The Borrower may apply to SNB for forgiveness of a portion of the SBA Loan in accordance the applicable provisions of the federal statute authorizing the Loan Program. Each Note provides for customary events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with SNB. Each SBA Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

In addition, as a result of the passage of the CARES Act, the Company filed a net operating loss carryback claim in the amount of $1,416,000. See Note 10.

We believe the Company will have enough cash on hand to support the Company’s activities at least through June 1, 2021.

Subsequent Events

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

Note 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 1, the Company disposed of its EPC and ECC subsidiaries in March 2019. As required, the Company has retrospectively recast its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 2019 period presented. As such, these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company has not segregated the cash flows of these businesses in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Management was also required to make certain assumptions and apply judgment to determine historical expenses related to the discontinued operations presented in prior periods. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to the Company’s continuing operations.

The following table presents the results of discontinued operations presented separately in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2019
	(unaudited)
Net revenue	$	132,000
Cost of goods sold		105,000
Gross profit		27,000
Operating expenses:
Selling, general and administrative		96,000
Gain on impairment of assets		41,000
Total operating loss		(28,000	)
Interest expense		(1,000	)
Other income		101,000
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes		72,000

Provision for income taxes		-
Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax	$	72,000

Non-cash operating amounts for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include depreciation and amortization of $6,000. The Company did not incur any capital expenditures for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no other significant non-cash operating amounts or investing items of the discontinued operations for the period.

Note 3. 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. As such, substantially all of the inventory value at March 31, 2020 and 2019 has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on historical gross profit percentages of previous periods as applied 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 March 31, 2020 and 2019 is estimated based on the Company’s standard cost perpetual inventory system, as management believes the perpetual system computed value for these items provides a better estimate of value for that inventory. Adjustments to reconcile the annual physical inventory to the Company’s books are treated as changes in accounting estimates and are recorded in the fourth quarter.

Credit and Concentration Risks

Net Sales and Accounts Receivable

There were three customers that represented 79.9% and 73.8% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

3		12.20		*
4		*		13.60

* Customer was less than 10% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

There were two customers that represented 60.0% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2020 and three customers that represented 67.8% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2019, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

During the year, 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.

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

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.

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 income (loss) applicable to common stockholders utilized to calculate EPS:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2020		March 31, 2019
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Net Income (loss) per statement of operations	$	1,058,000	$	(923,000	)

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 $140,000 and $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock compensation expense for directors amounted to $55,000 and $131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock compensation expenses for employees and directors were included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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 COVID-19 pandemic was a triggering event for testing whether goodwill has been impaired. The goodwill amounted to $163,000 at March 31, 2020. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined it is not more likely than not that the fair value was less than their carrying values as of March 31, 2020. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in future quarters. Changes in our forecasts or further decreases in the value of our common stock could cause book values to exceed fair values which may result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued 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. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

Sterling National Bank (“SNB”)

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a new loan facility (“SNB Facility”) with Sterling National Bank, (“SNB”) expiring on December 30, 2022. The new Loan Facility provides for a $16,000,000 revolving loan (“SNB revolving line of credit”) and a term loan (“SNB term loan”) with a balance of $3,800,000 at December 31, 2019.

Proceeds from the SNB Facility repaid our outstanding loan facility (“PNC Facility”) with PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC”).

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 the Company’s eligible receivables and eligible inventory (as defined in the SNB Facility). Each day, the Company’s cash collections are swept directly by SNB to reduce the SNB revolving loan balance and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base formula. The Company’s receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by SNB (subject to the terms of the SNB Facility).

The repayment terms of the SNB term loan provide for monthly principal installments in the amount of $45,238, payable on the first business day of each month, beginning on February 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. In addition, 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, 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 April 15 of the Fiscal Year immediately following such Fiscal Year.

The Company may voluntarily prepay balances under the SNB Facility. Any prepayment of less than all of the outstanding principal of the SNB term loan is applied to the principal of the SNB term loan.

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 March 31, 2020 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.

As of March 31, 2020 the future minimum principal payments for the SNB term loan are as follows:

For the twelve months ending	Amount
December 31, 2020 (remainder of the year)	$	406,000
December 31, 2021		543,000
December 31, 2022		2,760,000
SNB Term Loan payable		3,709,000
Less: debt issuance costs		(64,000	)
Total SNB Term Loan payable, net of debt issuance costs		3,645,000
Less: Current portion		543,000
Long-term portion	$	3,102,000

Under the terms of the SNB Facility, both the SNB revolving line of credit and the SNB term loan will 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 March 31, 2020 was 4.0%.

As of March 31, 2020, our debt to SNB in the amount of $17,222,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $13,577,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $3,645,000. As of December 31, 2019, our debt to SNB in the amount of $16,343,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $12,543,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $3,800,000.

Interest expense related to the SNB Facility amounted to approximately $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC”)

The Company previously maintained the PNC Facility. Under the PNC Facility, substantially all of the Company’s assets were pledged as collateral. The PNC Facility provided for a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit (“PNC revolving line of credit”) and a term loan (“PNC term loan”).

Interest expense related to the PNC Facility amounted to approximately $512,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

On December 31, 2019, both the PNC revolving line of credit and PNC term loan were paid in full and all assets that were previously pledged as collateral were released.

Loan Payable – Financed Asset

NOTE 7. 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”).

As of December 31, 2018, the Company received an aggregate of $363,000 under the Meyer Agreement.

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 their 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 Purchasers have agreed to pay Taglich Brothers, Inc. a fee equal to 2% per annum of the purchase price paid by such Purchasers, payable quarterly, to be deducted from the payments of the Remaining Amount, for acting as paying agent in connection with the payments from Meyer.

Although the Company sold all of its rights to retain the Remaining Amount, as a result of its obligation to the Purchasers, the Company is required to account for the Remaining Amount or portion thereof as income when earned. The Company recorded the $800,000 in proceeds as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, net of transaction costs of $3,000. Transaction costs will be amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the Purchase Agreement.

As payments are remitted to the Purchasers, the balance of the recorded liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the Purchase Agreement. To determine the amortization of the recorded liability, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future payment to be received by the Purchasers. The Company estimates that the entire Remaining Amount will be received, and accordingly, the Remaining Amount less the $800,000 purchase price received (the “Discount”) will be amortized into the liability balance and recorded as interest expense. The Discount will be amortized through the earliest date that the purchasers can exercise their Put Right, using the straight line method (which is not materially different than the effective interest method) over the estimated life of the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers. Periodically the Company will assess the estimated payments to be made to the Purchasers related to the Meyer Agreement, and to the extent the amount or timing of the payments is materially different from their original estimates, the Company will prospectively adjust the amortization of the liability. The amount or timing of the payments from Meyer are not within the Company’s control. Since the inception of the Purchase Agreement, the Company estimates the effective annual interest rate over the life of the agreement to be approximately 18%.

The liability is classified between the current and non-current portion of liability related to sale of future proceeds from disposition of subsidiary based on the estimated recognition of the payments to be received by the purchasers in the next 12 months from the financial statements reporting date.

The Company recognized $92,000 and $109,000 of non-cash income reflected in “other income, net” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and recorded $28,000 and $33,000 of related non-cash interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The table below shows the activity within the liability account for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Liabilities related to sale of future proceeds from disposition of subsidiaries - as of December 31, 2019	$	602,000
Non-Cash other income recognized		(92,000	)
Non-Cash interest expense recognized		28,000
Liabilities related to sale of future proceeds from disposition of subsidiary - as of March 31, 2020		538,000
Less: unamortized transaction costs		(3,000	)
Liability related to sale of future proceeds from disposition of subsidiary, net	$	535,000

In January 2020, we issued and sold 419,597 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $984,000 pursuant to our Form S-3 filed on October 10, 2019 as updated on January 15, 2020. Costs of the sale amounted to $145,000.

The Company issued 43,771 and 147,830 shares of common stock in lieu of cash payments for director fees for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 9. 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 of these claims represent amounts included in accounts payable they are not specifically discussed herein.

On December 20, 2018, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 21, 2018 (“SPA”), the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. to CPI Aerostructures. On March 19, 2019, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the SPA with CPI Aerostructures, the Company received a notice from CPI claiming that the working capital deficit used to compute the purchase price was understated. The issue of the amount of the working capital deficit was submitted to BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), acting as an expert, and it issued a report dated September 3, 2019, where it determined that the amount of the working capital deficit was approximately $4,145,870. On September 9, 2019 the Company received a demand from CPI for payment of such amount. The Company advised CPI that the determination of BDO is void because, among other things, it believes BDO exceeded the scope of its authority as set forth in the SPA. On September 27, 2019, CPI filed a notice of motion in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against the Company seeking, among other things, an order of specific performance requiring delivery of the funds deposited in escrow, together with the balance of the working capital deficit which it claimed, and a judgment against the Company in the amount of approximately $4,200,000 of which $2,000,000 would be satisfied by delivery of the funds in escrow. On October 7, 2019, the Company agreed to the release of $619,316 of the funds held in escrow in respect of claims related to the working capital deficit not related to the value of WMI’s inventory. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has placed a reserve against substantially all of the escrowed amount and cannot estimate the amount of loss. For, among others, the reasons stated above the Company intends to contest vigorously any claim CPI may make for payment based on the BDO Report. Outside counsel for the company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, it cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. As of March 31, 2020, there has been no new developments.

Contract Pharmacal Corp. 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 seeks damages for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 for our failure to make the entire premises available by the Sublease commencement date. The Company disputes the validity of the claims asserted by Contract Pharmacal and believes it has meritorious defenses to those claims and have recently submitted a motion in opposition to its motion for summary judgement. As of March 31, 2020, it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, as such there has been no accrual.

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

Note 10. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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 a net operating loss carryback claim in the amount of $1,416,000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of other provisions of the CARES Act on its accounting for income taxes and does not believe it has a material impact at this time.

The Company recorded no other federal income tax benefit for both of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 11. 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 our corporate division as an independent segment.

For reporting purposes, EPC and ECC have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months ending March 31, 2019.

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 transferors cost, and there is no intercompany profit or loss on intersegment transfers. We evaluate performance based on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed.

Financial information about the Company’s reporting segments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

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, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 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 March 31, 2020.

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 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. In response to recent operating losses and their impact on our working capital, we have repositioned our business through the sale and liquidation of certain subsidiaries we acquired since becoming a public company. We also consolidated our headquarters and the operations of our subsidiaries, AIM and Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), at our primary location in Bay Shore, New York, allowing us to re-focus our operations on our core competencies. In December 2018 we sold WMI Group, and in March 2019 we closed our subsidiaries Eur-Pac Corporation (“EPC”) and Electronic Connection Corporation (“ECC”). As a result of our restructuring, Complex Machining and Turbine Engine Components constitute all of our operations.

In addition to repositioning our business to obtain profitability and positive cash flow, we remain resolute on meeting customers’ needs and continue to align production schedules to meet the needs of customers. We believe that an unyielding focus on our customers will allow us to execute on our existing backlog in a timely fashion and take on additional commitments. We are pleased with our progress and the positive responses received from our customers.

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. 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. Reductions to the Defense Department budget and decreased usage of aircraft reduces the demand for both new production and replacement spares. Recent increases in Defense Department spending has increased orders for our products. 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.

COVID -19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President announced a national emergency relating to the disease. National, state and local authorities have adopted various regulations and orders, including mandates on the number of people that may gather in one location and closing non-essential businesses. To date, we have been deemed an essential business and has not curtailed its operations.

In accordance with the Department of Defense guidance issued in March 2020 designating the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure workforce, our facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. Government and the U.S. military, however, facility closures or work slowdowns or temporary stoppages could occur. Currently, our facilities are not operating under full staffing as a result of COVID-19, which could have a longer-term impact.

Financial impacts related to COVID-19, including our actions and costs in response to the pandemic, were not material to our first quarter 2020 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Going forward, we currently expect the COVID–19 crisis to result in a reduction to 2020 revenue and operating margins in portions of our business driven primarily by supplier disruption, changes in employee productivity, and related program delays or challenges. Our Company, employees, suppliers and customers, and our global community are facing tremendous challenges and we cannot predict how this dynamic situation will evolve or the impact it will have.

We have implemented procedures to promote employee safety including more frequent and enhanced cleaning and adjusted schedules and work-flows to support physical distancing. These actions will result in increased operating costs. In addition, a number of our suppliers and customers have suspended or otherwise reduced their operations, and we are experiencing some supply chain shortages. Suppliers are also experiencing liquidity pressures and disruptions to their operations as a result of COVID-19. We also have large numbers of employees working from home.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides aid to small businesses through programs administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs.

In addition, as a result of the passage of the CARES Act, the Company filed a net operating loss carryback claim in the amount of $1,416,000. The Company expects to receive the carryback claim in the third quarter of this year.

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.

For reporting purposes, EPC and ECC have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months ending March 31, 2019.

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.

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $13,447,000, a decrease of $431,000, or 3.1%, compared with $13,878,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net sales of our Complex Machining segment were $12,064,000, a decrease of $354,000, or 2.9%, from $12,418,000 in the prior year. Net sales in our Turbine Engine Components segment were $1,383,000, a decrease of $77,000, or 5.3% compared with $1,460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As indicated in the table below, three customers represented 79.9% and 73.8% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	2020			2019
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)
Sikorsky Aircraft		36.20	%		28.80	%
Goodrich Landing Gear Systems		31.50	%		31.40	%
United States Department of Defense		12.20	%		*
Rohr Inc.		*			13.60	%

* Customer was less than 10% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Gross Profit:

Consolidated gross profit from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $2,181,000, a decrease of $93,000, or 4.1%, as compared to gross profit of $2,274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.2% and 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest and Financing Costs

Interest and financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $380,000 a decrease of $583,000 or 60.5% compared to $963,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was due to lower interest rates and finance costs under the Company’s new credit facility (“SNB Facility”) with SNB, which replaced the Company’s previous credit facility (“PNC Facility”) with PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC”) as of December 31, 2019.

Operating Expense

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $2,262,000 and increased by $200,000 or 9.7% compared to $2,062,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,058,000, an improvement of $1,981,000, compared to a net loss $923,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, for the reasons discussed above. The improvement in net income reflects the reduction in our net loss from continuing operations as a result of the reduction in interest expense due to the refinancing of our Loan Facility and an income tax benefit of $1,414,000. Net loss for 2019 included a gain from discontinued operations in the amount of $72,000. Excluding discontinued operations, our net loss in 2019 would have been $995,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial impacts related to COVID-19 were not material to our first quarter 2020 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Going forward, we currently expect the COVID–19 crisis to result in a reduction to 2020 revenue and operating margins in portions of our business driven primarily by supplier disruption, changes in employee productivity, and related program delays or challenges. Our Company, employees, suppliers and customers, and our global community are facing tremendous challenges and we cannot predict how this dynamic situation will evolve or the impact it will have.

With respect to the remainder of 2020, the negative impact COVID-19 may have on the broader global economy and the pace of the economic recovery and the aerospace industry is unknown. Given the unknown magnitude of the depth and duration of this crisis, we anticipate a more challenging macroeconomic environment in the remainder of the year.

The CARES Act established a program with provisions to allow U.S. companies to defer the employer’s portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and pay such taxes in two installments in 2021 and 2022. In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) has, to date, taken steps to increase the rate for certain progress payments from 80 percent to 90 percent for costs incurred and worked performed on relevant contracts. We expect both of these actions should help mitigate COVID-19 related negative impacts to our operating cash flows for the remainder of the year.

Significant Transactions Which Have Impacted Our Liquidity

Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks detailed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report. However, based on our confirmed orders, we believe that funds generated from operations, amounts received under government subsidized loan programs and amounts available under our credit facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements. However, no assurance can be given that will be the case.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides aid to small businesses through programs administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualifies improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent and related costs.

In May 2020, AIM, NTW and Sterling (each a “Borrower”) entered into government subsidized loans with SNB in an aggregate principal amount of $2.4 million (“SBA Loans”). Subject to the terms of the Note, the SBA Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has an initial term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. At least 75% of the proceeds of each Loan must be used for payroll and payroll-related costs, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Federal statute authorizing the loan program administered by the SBA and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Loan Program”). The Borrower may apply to SNB for forgiveness of a portion of the SBA Loan in accordance the applicable provisions of the federal statute authorizing the Loan Program. Each Note provides for customary events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with SNB. Each SBA Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notes, a copy of which are filed with this report as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.

As discussed above, we filed a net operating loss carryback claim for $1,416,000 which it expects to receive in the third quarter of this year.

On December 31, 2019, we entered into the SNB Facility with SNB expiring 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”) of $3,800,000 at December 31, 2019.

Proceeds from the SNB Facility repaid our outstanding PNC Facility.

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).

The repayment terms of the SNB term loan provide for monthly principal installments in the amount of $45,238, payable on the first business day of each month, beginning on February 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. In addition, 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 Lender and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to April 15 of the Fiscal Year immediately following such Fiscal Year.

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 March 31, 2020 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 March 31, 2020, our debt to SNB in the amount of $17,222,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $13,577,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $3,645,000.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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 March 31, 2020 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:

●

Revenue recognition;

●

Inventory valuation

●

Lease accounting;

●

Legal contingencies; and

●

Stock-based compensation.

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.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Prospective investors are encouraged to consider the risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Report and other information publicly disclosed or contained in documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission before purchasing our securities. The following risk factor supplements the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in our Annual Report which are incorporated herein by reference.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting macroeconomic disruption have affected how we, our customers and our suppliers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.

COVID -19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections caused by the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) had become pandemic and the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. National, state and local authorities, including those in which our offices and manufacturing facilities are located, have adopted various regulations and orders, including “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on travel, mandates on the number of people that may gather in one location and closing non-essential businesses. The global impact of the outbreak is continually evolving.

The measures adopted by various governments and agencies, as well as the likelihood that many individuals and businesses will voluntarily shut down or self-quarantine, are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts which may be adopted by governments is uncertain. The likely overall economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be highly negative to the general economy. While we continue to operate substantially in the normal course, we have implemented procedures to promote employee safety including more frequent and enhanced cleaning and adjusted schedules and work-flows to support physical distancing and our facilities are not operating under full staffing. These actions will result in increased operating costs. Further, we may be forced to close or reduce operations for reasons such as the health of our employees or because of disruptions in the continued operation of our supply chain and sources of supply.

While the potential economic impact brought by COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, and a recession or long-term market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could cause severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which could make it difficult for us to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and impact our ability to fund business activities and repay debt on a timely basis.

At this time, we cannot forecast with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will increase, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows in fiscal 2020.
