Formation and Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
FORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 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. 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”) Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”), and Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”), together, the (“Company”). Going Concern The Company suffered losses from operations of $5,963,000 and $12,758,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and net losses of $10,992,000 and $22,551,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. In January 2017, the Company sold one of its operating subsidiaries. In December 2018, the Company sold a majority of its Aerostructures & Electronics segment. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent thereto, the Company sold in excess of $29,856,000 in debt and equity securities to secure funds to operate its business. The continuation of the Company’s business is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow and, pending such achievement, future issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Sale of AMK On January 27, 2017, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc., pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 27, 2017 for a purchase price of $4,500,000, net of a working capital adjustment of ($163,000), plus additional quarterly payments, not to exceed $ 1,500,000, equal to five percent (5%) of Net Revenues of AMK commencing April 1, 2017. The Company recorded a $200,000 gain on the sale of AMK. The gain on sale was the difference between the non-contingent payments and the carrying value of the disposed business. The Company has made an accounting policy decision to record the contingent consideration as it is determined to be realizable. The proceeds of the sale of AMK were applied as follows: $1,700,000 to the payment of the Term Loan (as defined in the PNC Loan Agreement), $1,800,000 to the payment of outstanding Revolving Advances (as defined in the PNC Loan Agreement), and $500,000 to the payment of existing accounts payable. The remaining $500,000 later was applied to the payment of the Revolving Advance. Sale of Welding Metallurgy Inc. On December 20, 2018, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of WMI including its wholly owned subsidiaries Miller Stuart, Woodbine, Decimal and Compac Development Corp to CPI Aerostructures, Inc., pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) for a purchase price of $9,000,000, reduced by a working capital adjustment of ($1,093,000). The sale required an escrow deposit of $2,000,000 to cover the working capital adjustment and our obligation to indemnify CPI against damages arising out of the breach of our representations and warranties and obligations under the SPA. The amount of the working capital deficit has been contested by CPI and the discrepancy will likely be resolved through arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. At December 31, 2017, WMI Group’s assets and liabilities had been reclassified as Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Directly Associated with Assets Held for Sale, respectively. Closing EPC and ECC On April 30, 2018 Eur Pac Corporation (“EPC”) received a “Notice of Proposed Debarment” from the Department of the Navy – its principal customer. Immediately after receiving this notice, EPC and AIRI retained counsel to appeal the proposed debarment, and submitted information in opposition to the proposed debarment, and EPC representatives met with the Navy to discuss the matter. On November 8, 2018 EPC received formal notice from the Department of the Navy that EPC’s opposition to debarment was rejected and that EPC was debarred from future government contracts until October 29, 2020. Management implemented its plan to complete existing contracts that had already been awarded and closed EPC by March 31, 2019. The Company recognized a loss on abandoned assets of $386,000 in connection with the shutdown of EPC. Additionally, the Company determined that goodwill for ECC in the amount of $109,000 had been impaired and is included in the loss from continuing operations. Subsequent Events On January 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with 15 accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company assigned to the Purchasers all of its right, title and interest to the remaining $1,136,710 of the $1,500,000 in payments due from Meyer Tool, Inc. for the sale of AMK Welding, Inc. (the “Remaining Amount”) for an aggregate purchase price 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 payments are based upon the net sales of AMK Welding, Inc., which the Company sold to Meyer Tool in January 2017. The Purchasers have the right to demand payment of their pro rata portion of the unpaid Remaining Amount from us commencing March 31, 2023 (“Put Right”). To the extent the Purchasers exercise their Put Right, the remaining payments from Meyer will be made to 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 assignment of the Company’s rights to the payments from Meyer Tool. Michael and Robert Taglich, directors of the Company, are the principals of Taglich Brothers, Inc. On January 15, 2019, the Company issued its 7% senior subordinate convertible promissory notes due December 31, 2020, each in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (together the “Notes” and each a “Note”), to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, each for a purchase of $1,000,000. Each Note bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, is convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.93 per share, subject to the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in the 7% Note, is subordinated to the Company’s indebtedness under its credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, and matures at December 31, 2020, or earlier upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Note). The Company will pay Taglich Brothers, Inc. a fee of $80,000 (4% of the purchase price of the Notes), payable in the form of a promissory note having terms similar to the Notes, in connection with the purchase of the Notes. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.
