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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
