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, as amended, 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 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.

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, 2021, as amended, 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.

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, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2021 was derived.

Effective with the Company’s first quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company is presenting its operations as one reportable operating segment.

Historically the Company operated its businesses and reported its results as two separate segments with AIM and NTW comprising the Complex Machining segment (“CMS”) and Sterling as the Turbine & Engine Component segment (“TEC”). The CMS segment specialized in flight critical components including flight controls and landing gear. The TEC segment focused on manufacturing components for jet engines. Along with its operating subsidiaries, the Company reported the results of its corporate division as an independent segment.

In recent years the Company integrated and consolidated the business of AIM and NTW into one facility on Long Island and the operations of its CMS and TEC segments have become increasingly integrated. The Company also made significant capital expenditures and all of its operations now share the same manufacturing facilities and use most, if not all, of the same sales and marketing functions. The Company made these changes to take advantage of the long-term growth opportunities it sees in the aerospace and defense market. In early fiscal 2022, the Company further changed its management approach and is now making decisions about resources to be allocated and assesses performance based on one integrated business rather than two reporting segments. As such, effective with the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company is presenting its operations as one reportable operating segment.

Reverse Stock Split

On October 4, 2022, the Company announced a reverse stock split of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. The reverse stock split was effective on October 18, 2022, and its common stock began trading on a post-split-adjusted basis at that time. All share and per share amounts of its common stock presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split. As result of the reverse stock split there were no fractional shares issued and all holders were rounded up to the next whole share. See Note 7 for more information.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventory Valuation

For annual periods, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or estimated net realizable value. The Company does not take physical inventories at interim quarterly reporting periods. For interim periods, substantially all of the inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on the annual gross profit percentage of the immediately preceding year as applied to the net sales of the current period. Adjustments to reconcile the annual physical inventory to the Company’s books are recorded in the fourth quarter.

Inventories consist of the following at:

|  | September 30, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Raw Materials |  | $ | 4,163,000 |  |  | $ | 3,410,000 |

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2022 and 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
Product |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |
Military |  | $ | 11,266,000 |  |  | $ | 12,380,000 |  |  | $ | 33,399,000 |  |  | $ | 38,750,000 |
Commercial |  |  | 2,012,000 |  |  |  | 1,973,000 |  |  |  | 5,949,000 |  |  |  | 4,769,000 |
Total |  | $ | 13,278,000 |  |  | $ | 14,353,000 |  |  | $ | 39,348,000 |  |  | $ | 43,519,000 |

Concentration of Credit Risk

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

Major Suppliers

The Company has several key sole-source suppliers of various parts that are important for one or more of its products. These suppliers are its only source for such parts and, therefore, in the event any of them were to go out of business or be unable to provide parts for any reason, its business could be severely harmed.

Customer Deposits

The Company receives advance payments on certain contracts with the remainder of the contract balance due upon the shipment of the final product once the customer inspects and approves the product for shipment. At that time, the entire amount will be recognized as revenue and the deposit will be applied to the customer’s invoice.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, customer deposits were $1,291,000 and $1,470,000 respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $73,000 and $126,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2021. The Company recognized revenue of $132,000 and $507,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2020.

Backlog

Backlog represents executed non-cancellable contracts that represent firm orders that are deliverable over the next 18- month period. As of September 30, 2022, backlog relating to remaining performance obligations in contracts was approximately $65,000,000. We expect to recognize revenue amounts in future periods related to these remaining performance obligations as follows: approximately $13,000,000 to $15,000,000 of our backlog during the remainder of 2022, approximately $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 from January 1, 2023 - June 30, 2023, and approximately $11,000,000 to $15,000,000 from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This expectation assumes that raw material suppliers, and that outsourced processing is completed and delivered on-time and that its customers will accept delivery as scheduled. The Company anticipates that sales during the aforementioned periods will also include sales pursuant to contracts that are not currently in backlog.

Leases

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

Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

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

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

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |
(Loss) Income - Basic |  | $ | (142,000 | ) |  | $ | (66,000 | ) |  | $ | (177,000 | ) |  | $ | 21,000 |
Add: Convertible Note Interest for Potential Note Conversion |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 232,000 |
(Loss) Income used to calculate diluted earnings per share |  | $ | (142,000 | ) |  | $ | (66,000 | ) |  | $ | (177,000 | ) |  | $ | 253,000 |

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

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share |  |  | 3,232,467 |  |  |  | 3,207,405 |  |  |  | 3,224,912 |  |  |  | 3,202,287 |
Effect of dilutive stock options and warrants |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 266,300 |
Effect of dilutive convertible notes payable |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 405,789 |
Weighted average shares outstanding and dilutive securities used to compute dilutive earnings per share |  |  | 3,232,467 |  |  |  | 3,207,405 |  |  |  | 3,224,912 |  |  |  | 3,874,376 |

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |
Stock Options |  |  | 305,350 |  |  |  | 118,000 |  |  |  | 305,350 |  |  |  | 16,000 |

10

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation even though the exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares during the periods set forth below because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during these periods:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | September 30, 2021 |

|  |  | 405,810 |  |  |  | 642,000 |  |  |  | 405,810 |  |  |  | - |

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 $55,000 and $147,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $262,000 and $361,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense for directors amounted to $54,000 and $52,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $162,000 and $156,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense for employees and directors was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $163,000 at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06), which is intended to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance on the basis of feedback from financial statement users. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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

11

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Webster Bank (F/K/A Sterling National Bank) (“Webster”)

The Company has a loan facility (“Webster Facility”) with Webster Bank that expires on December 30, 2025. The Webster Facility, which was first entered into on December 31, 2019, was amended several times, and now provides for a $20,000,000 revolving loan (“Revolving Line of Credit”), a $5,000,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 Equipment Line of Credit, which as it is drawn upon will be added to the balance of the Term Loan.

As of September 30, 2022, there is currently $14,097,000 outstanding under the Revolving Loan and $4,691,000 under the Term Loan. The below table shows the timing of payments due under the Term Loan:

For the period ending |  | Amount |
December 31, 2022 (remainder of the year) |  | $ | 178,000 |
December 31, 2023 |  |  | 714,000 |

Total long-term portion of Webster Term Loan payable |  | $ | 3,977,000 |

As of December 31, 2021, our debt to Webster in the amount of $16,648,000 consisted of the Webster Revolving Loan in the amount of $12,456,000 and the Webster term loan in the amount of $4,192,000.

Interest expense related to the Webster Facility amounted to approximately $204,000 and $181,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $506,000 and $542,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The below summarizes historical amendments to the Webster Facility and various terms:

In 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Webster Facility which increased the Term Loan to $5,685,000 and required the Company to make monthly principal installments in the amount of $67,679 beginning on December 1, 2020. Other minor modifications were made and the Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000.

In June 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Webster Facility, which clarified the definition and calculation of Excess Cash Flow, and to confirm the due date of required payment of the Excess Cash Flow payment. For so long as the Webster term loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year the Company shall pay to Webster 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 Webster and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to the close of the fiscal year immediately following such fiscal year. The Company made Excess Cash Flow payments of $558,750 in 2021 (for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020) and $854,000 in April 2022 (for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021). In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $10,000.

On December 7, 2021, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Webster Facility (“Third Amendment”). The purpose of the amendment was to provide a maturity date for the Webster Facility of December 30, 2025 as compared to the original maturity date of December 30, 2022. Such amendment also increased the Revolving Line of Credit to its current limit of $20,000,000 (up from the original $16,000,000) and also provided for a similar increase in the inventory sublimit to $14,000,000 (up from the original $11,000,000). The Third Amendment, also allows the Company, subject to certain limitations, to begin amortizing $250,000 of its related party subordinated notes payable each quarter as long as certain conditions are met. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $75,000.

14

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Webster Facility (“Fourth Amendment”). The purpose of the amendment was to increase the Term Loan to $5,000,000, generating proceeds of $1,945,000, reduced the monthly principal installments to be made in respect to the term loan, and establish a capital expenditure line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 which the Company can draw upon from time to time to finance purchases of machinery and equipment, thereby increasing the amount of capital expenditures that the Company may make each year. The principle payments are $59,524 per month commencing in June 2022 with a balloon payment due on December 30, 2025. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000.

Under the terms of the Webster Facility, both the Webster revolving line of credit and the Webster term loan will bear an interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 3.50% and (ii) a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum published from time to time in the “Money Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal (or such other presentation within The Wall Street Journal as may be adopted hereafter for such information) as the base or prime rate for corporate loans at the nation’s largest commercial bank, less sixty-five hundredths (-0.65%) of one percent per annum. The average interest rate charged was 4.70% and 3.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and was 3.94% and 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

All amendment fees paid in connection with the Webster Facility are included in Deferred Financing Costs, Net, Deposits and Other Assets, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the term of the loan.

In connection with the Webster Facility, the Company is required to maintain a defined Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each Fiscal Quarter. The Webster Facility limits the amount of Capital Expenditures and dividends the Company can pay to its stockholders. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Webster Facility.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial loan covenants.

Finance Lease Obligations

The Company entered into a Finance lease in December of 2021 for the purchase of new manufacturing equipment. The obligation for the Finance lease totaled $0 and $263,000 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The lease had an imputed interest rate of 4.2% per annum and was payable monthly with the final payment due on December 17, 2026. In connection with the Fourth Amendment to the Webster Facility, this Finance Lease was paid in full.

Note 8. CONTINGENCIES

A number of actions have been commenced against the Company by vendors, landlords and former landlords, including a third party claim as a result of an injury suffered on a portion of a leased property not occupied by the Company. As certain of these claims represent amounts included in accounts payable they are not specifically discussed herein.

On October 2, 2018, Contract Pharmacal Corp. (“Contract Pharmacal”) commenced an action, relating to a Sublease entered into between the Company and Contract Pharmacal in May 2018 with respect to the property that was formerly occupied by the Company’s former subsidiary WMI, at 110 Plant Avenue, Hauppauge, New York. In the action Contract Pharmacal sought damages for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 for the Company’s failure to make the entire premises available by the Sublease commencement date. On July 8, 2021, the Court denied Contract Phamacal’s motion for summary judgement. In the Order, the court granted Contract Pharmacal’s Motions to drop its claim for specific performance and to amend its Complaint to reduce its claim for damages to $700,000. Contract Pharmacal filed a Motion to reargue which the Court denied on November 30, 2021.

The Company disputes the validity of the claims asserted by Contract Pharmacal and intends contest them vigorously.

Note 9. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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 of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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.

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 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 and in our 2021 Form 10-K that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Air Industries Group is a holding company with three legal subsidiaries, Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”) and the Sterling Engineering Company (“SEC”). SEC began manufacturing aircraft components in 1941 – over 80-years ago – for use in World War II. NTW was formed in the early 1960’s and AIM has been in business since 1971. We became a public company in 2005.

We manufacture aerospace components primarily for the defense industry. AIM and NTW, manufacture structural parts and assemblies focusing on flight safety, including aircraft landing gear, arresting gear, engine mounts, flight controls, throttle quadrants, and other components. SEC makes components and provides services for aircraft jet engines and ground-power turbines.

Products of AIM and NTW 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 and F-15 fighter aircraft. They also make a critical component for the Pratt & Whitney Geared TurboFan (“GTF”) aircraft engine used on commercial airliners. SEC makes products used in jet engines that are used on military and commercial aircraft including the USAF F-15 and F-16, the Airbus A-330 and the Boeing 777, and others, and in addition, a number of ground-power turbine applications.

The aerospace market is highly competitive in both the defense and commercial sectors and we face intense competition in all areas of our business. Nearly all of our revenues are derived by producing products to customer specifications after being awarded a contract through a competitive bidding process. As the commercial aerospace and defense industries continue to consolidate and major contractors seek to streamline supply chains by buying more complete sub-assemblies from fewer suppliers, we have sought to remain competitive not only by providing cost-effective world class products and service but also by increasing our ability to produce more complex and complete assemblies for our customers.

We are focused on maintaining profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities. We remain resolute on meeting customers’ needs. To take advantage of the long-term growth opportunities we see in our markets, we have made significant capital investments in new equipment in recent years. We believe these investments will increase the velocity and efficiency of production, increase the size of product we can make and allow us to offer additional services to our customers. Some of our investments expand our capabilities allowing us to internally process product that was previously outsourced to third party processors. We are pleased with the positive responses from our customers about these initiatives.

Our ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows from operating activities is determined by our ability to win new or renewal contracts and fulfilling these contracts on a timely and cost effective basis. Winning a contract generally requires that we submit a bid containing fixed prices for the product or products covered by the contract for an agreed upon period of time, sometimes for five-years or longer, with negotiated increases to reflect a portion of the impact of inflation. 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. The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and retaliatory measures imposed by the United States, United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries, and the responses of Russia to such measures, have negatively impacted the availability of certain minerals, such as titanium, for which Russia was a source of supply. We are working with our larger customers, some of which have access to sources of metals necessary to manufacture their products not readily available to us or other companies of our size. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that disruptions in the markets for metals will not adversely impact our ability to timely meet the needs of our customers.

20

In addition, the market for the skilled labor we require to operate our plants is highly competitive. Changes in the available pool of labor caused by Covid-19 have not materially adversely impacted our ability to meet our production schedules. Nevertheless, as we seek to grow our business, there can be no assurance that the skilled labor we need to operate our machinery will be available to us or that the costs incurred to maintain our current labor force and those we seek to bring on will not increase.

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.

Our revenues are principally determined by orders from our customers for the delivery of product – which we call releases – against LTA’s with those customers. These long-term agreements generally have fixed prices for product with negotiated increases to reflect a portion of the impact of inflation, though over the term of a LTA prices often increase and not all of the increase is covered by agreed upon price protection clauses in our agreements. Our direct costs of production include costs for material, labor, and factory overhead; all of these costs may vary based on the efficiency of our factory operations. Our gross profit is highly variable due to the mix of products sold, and by sales volume, which can lead to the over absorption or under absorption of factory overhead costs.

Beyond these direct costs of production, we incur general and administrative costs termed Operating Expenses and financing costs for borrowed money, income taxes and miscellaneous income and expense.

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 and could adversely impact our business and our revenue.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $13,278,000, a decrease of $1,076,000, or 7.5%, compared with $14,354,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in sales resulted principally from the sale of products with lower selling prices during the quarter.

As indicated in the table below, two customers represented 63.9% and 67.7% of total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Customer |  | Percentage of Sales |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Goodrich Landing Gear Systems |  |  | 40.7 | % |  |  | 41.6 | %
Sikorsky Aircraft |  |  | 23.2 | % |  |  | 26.1 | %

Gross Profit:

Consolidated gross profit from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,242,000, an increase of $228,000, or 11.3%, as compared to gross profit of $2,014,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.9% and 14.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For interim periods, substantially all of the inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on the annual gross profit percentage of the immediately preceding year. Inventory value and gross profit margin for 2021 was estimated using the gross profit margin percentage in 2020. Gross profit margins in 2020 were negatively impacted by Covid-19 and therefore impacted the estimated gross profit margins applied to the 2021 interim periods. Actual gross profit margins returned to historical levels in 2021 and this higher gross profit margin have been used to calculate the gross profit margins for the interim periods for 2022.

Operating Expense

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $2,073,000 and increased by $239,000 or 13.0% compared to $1,837,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was caused by increases in employment costs, including employee health benefits increases which were not passed on to employees, increases in investor relations and increased travel costs resulting from the resumption of travel to customers as Covid restrictions eased. These increased costs were partially offset by reductions in expenses related to information technology and the recovery of bad debt.

Interest and Financing Costs

Interest and financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $323,000 a decrease of $8,000 or 2.4% compared to $331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The primary reason for this was lower balances on our debt with Webster Bank. The average interest rate charged was 4.70% and 3.50% for the three months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, respectively.

22

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $142,000, compared to a net loss of $66,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to the reasons stated above.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $39,348,000, a decrease of $4,171,000, or 9.6%, compared with $43,519,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in sales resulted principally from the sale of products with lower selling prices and from contracts that expired in 2021 and were not renewed in 2022.

As indicated in the table below, three customers represented 68.9% and 75.5% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Customer |  | Percentage of Sales |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Goodrich Landing Gear Systems |  |  | 32.5 | % |  |  | 36.8 | %
Sikorsky Aircraft |  |  | 19.5 | % |  |  | 26.2 | %
United States Department of Defense |  |  | 16.9 | % |  |  | 12.5 | %

Gross Profit:

Consolidated gross profit from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $6,742,000, an increase of $328,000, or 5.1%, as compared to gross profit of $6,414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 17.1% and 14.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For interim periods, substantially all of the inventory value has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on the annual gross profit percentage of the immediately preceding year. Inventory value and gross profit margin for 2021 was estimated using the gross profit margin percentage in 2020. Gross profit margins in 2020 were negatively impacted by Covid-19 and therefore impacted the estimated gross profit margins applied to the 2021 interim periods. Actual gross profit margins returned to historical levels in 2021 and this higher gross profit margin have been used to calculate the gross profit margins for the interim periods for 2022.

Operating Expense

Consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $6,116,000 and increased by $346,000 or 6.0% compared to $5,770,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was caused by increases in employment costs, including employee health benefits increases which were not passed on to employees, increases in investor relations and increased travel costs resulting from the resumption of travel to customers as Covid restrictions eased. These increased costs were partially offset by reductions in information technology and bad debt expense.

Interest and financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $935,000 a decrease of $26,000 or 2.7% compared to $961,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary reason for this was lower balances on our debt with Webster Bank. The average interest rate charged was 3.94% and 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net (Loss) Income

Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $177,000, compared to net income of $21,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for the reasons discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our material cash requirements are for debt service, capital expenditures and funding working capital/operating costs.

As of September 30, 2022, we have debt service requirements related to:

| 1) | Our Webster Facility of $18,788,000 consisting of a Revolving Loan of $14,097,000 and a term loan in the amount of $4,691,000. During the remainder of fiscal 2022, we are required to pay $178,000 of principal under the term loan.

| 2) | Related party debt consisting of convertible subordinated note payables of $4,812,000 and subordinated note payables of $1,350,000. This debt is not due until July 1, 2026. We are permitted to make principal payments against this debt in the amount of $250,000 per quarter pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Webster Bank, as long as certain conditions are met. On July 14, 2022, a principal payment in the amount of $250,000 was made as the conditions for such payment were met for the first quarter of 2022.

| 3) | Various equipment leases and contractual obligations related to our normal business.

We have historically met our cash requirements with funds provided by a combination of cash generated from operating activities and cash generated from equity and debt financing transactions. Based on our current revenue visibility and strength of our backlog, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our short-term cash requirements. On May 17, 2022, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Webster Bank. The purpose of the amendment was to increase the Term Loan to $5,000,000, reduce the monthly principal installments to be made in respect to the term loan and establish a capital expenditure line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 which we can draw upon from time to time to finance purchases of machinery and equipment, thereby increasing the amount of capital expenditures we may make each year.

Because we believe our fourth quarter fiscal 2022 sales will be in line with the amount achieved in the comparable period of 2021, we believe our liquidity will continue to improve. As a result of recent increases in the federal funds borrowing rate, interest rates and related expense under our Webster Facility are expected to increase from current levels. Such increases are not expected to materially impact our liquidity.

Our future liquidity may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as COVID-19 and the war in the Ukraine, increases in inflation, disruptions in the labor market and other risks detailed in Part1, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should our cash requirements change beyond our current expectations due to general economic conditions or a strategic decision, we may choose to raise additional funds through equity and debt financing transactions. We believe that we have sufficient access to credit and/or financing from public and private debt and equity markets.

Changes in our cash flow are discussed further below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our net loss as adjusted for non-cash items provided cash of $2,414,000. This was a result of our net loss of $177,000, offset by $2,591,000 of non-cash items consisting primarily of depreciation of property and equipment of $1,906,000, non-cash employee stock compensation expense of $262,000, amortization of right-of-use assets of $403,000 and non-cash directors’ compensation expense of $162,000. The remaining non-cash items totaled absorbed $142,000.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash in the net amount of $2,487,000 consisting primarily of increases in inventory, deposits and prepaid expenses and other current assets in the amounts of $3,876,000, $74,000 and $24,000, respectively, and decreases in operating lease liabilities and customer deposits of $504,000 and $179,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable in the amount of $1,917,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $117,000 and an increase in other current liabilities of $139,000.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consists of capital expenditures for property and equipment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $1,980,000.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities consisted of net proceeds from the Webster re-financing of $1,945,000 and net advances on our Webster revolving loan in the amount of $1,641,000, partially offset by repayments of $1,430,000 on our Webster term note, $263,000 on our financed lease obligations, $250,000 on our subordinated notes payable – related party and $5,000 on our financed asset note payable.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of September 30, 2022 have been taken into consideration in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our condensed consolidated financial statements:

| ● | Liquidity;

| ● | Inventory valuation;

| ● | Revenue recognition;

| ● | Income taxes;

| ● | Stock-based compensation; and

| ● | Goodwill.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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