Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Air Industries Group is a Nevada corporation (“AIRI”). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the accompanying 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”).

Principal Business Activity

The Company is a leading manufacturer of precision assemblies and components for large aerospace and defense prime contractors. Its products include landing gears, flight controls, engine mounts and components for aircraft jet engines, ground turbines and other complex machines. Most of its machined components and assemblies are integral to high-profile platforms and named programs including the F-18 Hornet, the E2D Hawkeye, the UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter, the Geared Turbo-Fan Engine, the CH-53 Helicopter, the F-35 Lighting II (also known as the Joint Strike Fighter) and the F-15 Eagle Tactical Fighter.

Our direct customers are primarily large aerospace and defense prime contractors. The ultimate end-users for most of our products are the U.S. Government, international governments, and commercial global airlines.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All dollar amounts have been rounded to the nearest whole number. As a result, totals may not sum precisely due to rounding.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan

At each reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company is required to make certain additional disclosures if management concludes substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern provided that such doubt is not alleviated by the Company’s plans or when the Company’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. This evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations regarding cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash balance and expectations regarding cash to be generated over the following year.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company met all the financial and business covenants required under the terms of its Current Credit Facility which included a minimum EBITDA on a twelve-month basis of $2.8 million. In the past, the Company has not met its financial and business covenants, most recently as of March 31, 2024, and therefore historically classified the term loan as current at December 31, 2023 in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-10-45. “Debt – Other Presentation Matters”, related to the classification of callable debt. The terms of all outstanding indebtedness are discussed further in “Note 8. Debt”.

Management’s plans are to increase net sales for fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. The Company believes that these plans are supported by the Company’s 18- month funded backlog which, as of December 31, 2024, was $117.9 million.
