Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for credit losses based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, current economic conditions and other relevant factors, including specific reserves for certain accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Bad debt expenses are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense.

The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is set forth in the table below

	September 30,
	2023		2022
Balance, January 1,	$	281,000	$	594,000

Provision (Reversal)		67,000		(99,000	)
Write-offs		—		—
Balance, September 30	$	348,000	$	493,000

Inventory Valuation

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or estimated net realizable value.

The Company generally purchases raw materials and supplies uniquely suited to the production of larger more complex parts, such as landing gear, only when non-cancellable contracts for orders have been received for finished goods. It occasionally produces larger more complex products, such as landing gear, in excess of purchase order quantities in anticipation of future purchase order demand, when it is economically advantageous to do so, since historically this excess has been used in fulfilling future purchase orders. The Company purchases supplies and materials useful in a variety of products as deemed necessary even though orders have not been received. The Company periodically evaluates inventory items not secured by purchase orders and establishes write-downs to estimated net realizable value for excess quantities, slow-moving goods, obsolescence and for other impairments of value.

Inventories consist of the following at:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2023			2022

Raw Materials	$	4,836,000		$	4,198,000
Work In Progress		16,337,000			20,488,000
Finished Goods		13,415,000			10,748,000
Reserve		(3,240,000	)		(3,613,000	)
Total Inventory	$	31,348,000		$	31,821,000

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
Product	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022

Military	$	10,144,000	$	11,266,000	$	31,513,000	$	33,399,000
Commercial		2,149,000		2,012,000		6,534,000		5,949,000

Total	$	12,293,000	$	13,278,000	$	38,047,000	$	39,348,000

Cash

During the period, 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 or services that are important for one or more of its products. These suppliers are its only source for such parts or services and, therefore, in the event any of them were to go out of business or be unable to provide parts or services 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 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, customer deposits were $3,476,000 and $781,000 respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $147,000 and $461,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2022. 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.

Backlog

Backlog represents executed non-cancellable contracts that represent firm orders that are deliverable over the next 18- month period. As of September 30, 2023, backlog relating to remaining performance obligations in contracts was approximately $66,900,000. We expect to recognize revenue amounts in future periods related to these remaining performance obligations as follows: approximately $11,900,000 to $13,900,000 of our backlog during the remainder of 2023, approximately $48,500,000 from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and approximately $3,000,000 to $4,500,000 from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025. This expectation is based on the Company’s belief that raw material will be delivered on time from its suppliers, and that its customers will accept delivery as scheduled.

Contract Costs Receivable

Contract costs receivable represent costs to be reimbursed from a terminated contract. Contract costs receivable totals $296,000 at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. 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 securities have been excluded from the calculation as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

	Three and Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,
	2023		2022

Stock options		462,870		305,350
Warrants		-		76,000
		462,870		381,350

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during these periods:

	Three and Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,
	2023		2022

Stock options		-		-
Convertible notes payable		405,800		405,800
		405,800		405,800

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 $28,000 and $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $260,000 and $262,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock compensation expense for directors amounted to $54,000 and $54,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $162,000 and $162,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock compensation expense for employees and directors was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted 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. 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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