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, 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 of the 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.
 
Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of orders, sales, operating margins, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures, distribution channels, profitability, new products, adequacy of funds from operations, and general economic conditions, 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, 2012 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.

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 recently 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. The reincorporation was approved by the stockholders of Air Industries Delaware at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 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 Corporation (“AIM”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. ("WMI") and Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”) (together, the “Company”).

Note 2. ACQUISITION

On July 1, 2013 the Company acquired certain assets including production equipment, inventory and intangible assets of Decimal Industries, Inc. (“Decimal”).  The acquisition (“Decimal Transaction”) was made by the Company, and Decimal has become a division of WMI. Decimal is a long established Long Island based manufacturer of precision welded and brazed aerospace chassis and other components housing avionics, radars and other electronic devices in aircraft and naval vessels. Decimal’s customers include major aerospace contractors.

The acquisition of Decimal was accounted for under FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”  The purchase price of the assets was $975,000, which included inventory of approximately $665,000 valued at a percentage of completion including anticipated profit on sale and certain fixed assets with an approximate value of $310,000. The purchase price was paid as follows: $315,000 in cash at closing with the balance payable in eight equal monthly installments without interest in the amount of $76,667 commencing in August 2013, with a final payment in the amount of $46,766. The two owners of Decimal have become employees of the Company and are under contract until June 2018. As part of the transaction, the facility of Decimal has been leased for 12 months until June 2014. It is the Company’s intention to combine and relocate the operations of Decimal into WMI’s facility in Hauppauge. At September 30, 2013, $506,667 was owed to the sellers of Decimal and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

On November 6, 2013, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”) for $25,000, which was due at the date of closing, and the net value of the accounts receivable, which are due at the beginning of December 2013.  Miller Stuart is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft manufacturers and the US Military. Miller Stuart specializes in electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies, electronic equipment and printed circuit boards.

The acquisition of Miller Stuart will be accounted for under FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”  The purchase price allocation has not yet been completed.

The Company has 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.

AIM has several sole-source suppliers of various parts that are used in one or more of its products. If any of these sole source suppliers were to go out of business or be unable to provide it parts for any reason, AIM would be required to develop new suppliers or to re-engineer its products, or both, which could delay shipment of products and have a material adverse effect on its operating results.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculation for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

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

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 amounted to $9,000 and $45,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $15,000 and $88,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
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 $453,000 relates to the acquisition of WMI ($291,000) and NTW Acquisition ($162,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not will reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  

The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-02).   ASU 2013-02 requires the disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”).  ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2013-11 on its consolidated 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 financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain account balances in 2012 have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

 PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC")

On June 27, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Security Agreement with PNC (the “Loan Facility”), secured by substantially all of its assets.  The Company paid an amendment fee of $10,000.  The Loan Facility now provides for maximum borrowings of $20,847,604 consisting of the following:

 
(i)
a $18,000,000 revolving credit note (includes inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000); and
 
(ii)
a $2,847,604 term loan.

The assets acquired from Decimal are now part of the collateral securing amounts due under the Loan Facility.

Under the terms of the Loan Facility the revolving credit note now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the greater of the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%) with respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans.   Prior to the amendment the revolving credit note bore interest at (a) the sum of PNC's base commercial lending rate as published from time to time ("PNC Rate") plus 2.00% and (b) the greater of the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus 3.5%.  The revolving credit note had an interest rate of 4.0 % and 5.50% per annum at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and an outstanding balance of $16,381,000 and $15,667,000, respectively. The maturity date of the revolving credit note is November 30, 2016.

Each day, the Company's cash collections are swept directly by the bank to reduce the balance owed under the revolving credit note and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base. As such, the Company generally has no cash on hand. Because the revolving credit note contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the balance owed under the revolving credit note is classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.
 
 
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Under the terms of the Loan Facility, the maturity date of the term loan is the first business day (as defined) of January 2015. The term loan now bears interest equal to (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three quarters of one percent (1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans or (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus three and one half of one percent (3.50%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Prior to the amendment the term loan bore interest, at the option of the Company equal to (a) the greater of (i) the sum of the PNC Rate plus 6.5% and (ii) 11.5%, with respect to Domestic Rate Loans or (b) the greater of (i) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus 8.5% and (ii) 10.5%, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Repayment under the term loan shall consist of 19 consecutive monthly principal installments, the first 18 of which will be in the amount of $150,000 commencing on the first business day of July 2013, with the 19th and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the first business day of January 2015.  Additionally, upon a request from PNC no later than the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter, there is a prepayment equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined) for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 (formerly September 30, 2012), payable upon the delivery of the financial statements for such fiscal period to PNC, but no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter.   PNC did not make such a request for the quarter ended September 30, 2013,   At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the balance due under the term loan was $2,398,000 and $3,748,000, respectively.

To the extent that the Company disposes of collateral used to secure the Loan Facility, other than inventory, the Company must promptly repay the draws on the credit facility in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale.

The terms of the Loan Facility require that, among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. The Company is also limited to the amount of Dividends it can pay its shareholders as defined in the Loan Facility.  As of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all terms of the Loan Facility.

The Company's receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by PNC (subject to the terms of the Loan Facility). PNC may use some elements of subjective business judgment in determining whether a material adverse change has occurred in the Company's condition, results of operations, assets, business, properties or prospects allowing it to demand repayment of the Loan Facility.

As of September 30, 2013 the future minimum principal payments for the term loan are as follows:

On July16, 2012, the Company entered into the 18th amendment to its Loan Facility with PNC.  This amendment allowed for the repayment of $115,000 of its Junior Subordinated Notes (see discussion below).

Capital Leases Payable – Equipment

The Company is committed under several capital leases for manufacturing and computer equipment. All leases have bargain purchase options exercisable at the termination of each lease.

Junior Subordinated Notes

In 2008 and 2009, the Company sold in a series of private placements to accredited investors $5,990,000 of principal amount in Junior Subordinated Notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 1% per month (or 12% per annum).

In connection with the offering of the Company's Junior Subordinated Notes, the Company issued to Taglich Brothers, Inc. ("Taglich Brothers"), as placement agent, a Junior Subordinated Note in the principal amount of $510,000. The terms of the note issued to Taglich Brothers are identical to the notes. In connection with the amounts raised in 2009, the Company issued to Taglich Brothers a Junior Subordinated Note on the same terms as the Junior Subordinated Notes referred to above for commission of $44,500.

In conjunction with the Private Placement of our common stock to raise money for the NTW Acquisition, the Company solicited the holders of our Junior Subordinated Notes to convert their notes to Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share. On June 29, 2012, the Company issued 867,461 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for approximately $5,204,000 of its Junior Subordinated Notes. On July 26, 2012, the Company repaid $115,000 of our Junior Subordinated Notes along with the accrued interest thereon of approximately $1,000.

The proposal to approve the 2013 Plan was approved by the affirmative vote of the Company’s stockholders on July 29, 2013.
 
Derivative Liability

In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
 
 
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
            In connection with the private placement to raise money for the NTW Acquisition, the Company issued warrants to Taglich Brothers.  Such warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions.  As a result, the value of the warrants has to be recognized as a liability.  In addition, the Company would be required to revalue the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations.  The Company did not account for the derivative liability in its financial statements as it was determined to not be material.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that it no longer needed to provide a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets except for the capital loss and section 1231 loss carryforwards.  This was based upon the fact that management believes that the realizability of the net deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized.  The valuation allowance at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1,092,000 and $2,269,000, respectively.

The Company has a capital loss carry forward from the sale of Sigma of $2,719,000 which will expire in fiscal 2015.

Note 11. SEGMENT REPORTING

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company is operating in three segments. AIM manufactures components and subassemblies for the defense and aerospace industry.  NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter aircraft. The financial information of NTW is only included as of the date of acquisition (June 20, 2012). WMI provides specialty welding services and metal fabrications to the defense and commercial aerospace industry. While each of these segments service the same industries and a similar customer base, we evaluate the performance of each segment separately in deciding how to allocate resources and in accessing profitability.

Beginning on January 1, 2013, the Company began to allocate all of the corporate selling and general and administrative costs of AIRI to each of its three subsidiaries. For 2013, these are allocated 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW. For 2012, such costs have been reclassified to reflect an allocation of AIRI corporate costs to its subsidiaries. These were reclassified 75% to AIM and 25% to WMI during the first six months of 2012 and 50% to AIM and 25% each to each of WMI and NTW beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2012 (NTW was acquired on June 20, 2012).

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed on March 29, 2013, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Introduction

On August 30, 2013, we changed our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada as a result of the merger of our corporate parent and predecessor, Air Industries Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Air Delaware”), with and into its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation and the surviving entity pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The reincorporation was approved by the stockholders of Air Delaware at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Air Industries Group is deemed to be the successor issuer of Air Industries Delaware under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Business Overview

We are an aerospace company operating primarily in the defense industry, though the proportion of our business represented by the commercial sector is increasing.  We design and manufacture structural parts and assemblies that focus on flight safety, including landing gear, arresting gear, engine mounts, flight controls, Nacelle Struts which transmit the thrust of a jet engine to the body of the aircraft and other components. We also provide sheet metal fabrication of aerostructures, tube bending and welding services.   Our products are currently deployed on a wide range of high profile military and commercial aircraft including Sikorsky's UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter, Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Northrop Grumman's E2D Hawkeye, Pratt & Whitney’s Gear fan jet engine, the US Navy F-18 and USAF F-16 fighter aircraft, and in the commercial sector, Boeing's 777, Airbus' 380 commercial airliners, and other commercial airliners.
 
 
In June 2012 we acquired the business and operations now conducted by Nassau Tool Works, Inc (“NTW”) in an asset acquisition (the “NTW Acquisition”). We acquired the business and operations of Decimal Industries, Inc. (“Decimal”) in an asset acquisition on July 1, 2013 (the “Decimal Transaction”). The assets and business of Decimal will become part of our subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”). On November 6, 2013 we acquired 100% of the stock of Miller Stuart Inc., (“MS”). For the immediate future MS will be operated as a separate business unit. Consequently, during the third quarter of 2013 we had three principal operating subsidiaries – Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”), WMI and NTW.

AIM has manufactured components and subassemblies for the defense and commercial aerospace industry for over 40 years.  WMI has provided specialty welding services and metal fabrications to the defense and commercial aerospace industry since 1979.  The predecessor of NTW was founded in 1959 and its principal business is the fabrication and assembly of  landing gear components and complete landing gear for fighter aircraft for the US and foreign governments. Decimal was founded in 1968, and it principal business is the fabrication of precision sheet metal assemblies for the aerospace industry. Miller Stuart was founded in 1966 and is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft manufacturers and the US Military. Miller Stuart specializes in electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies, electronic equipment and printed circuit boards.
 
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 their 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 service but also by increasing our ability to produce more complex and complete assemblies for our customers.

Our ability to operate profitably is determined by our ability to win new contracts and renewals of existing contracts, and then fulfill these contracts on a timely satisfactory basis at costs that enable us to generate a profit based upon the agreed upon contract price.  Winning a contract generally requires that we submit a bid containing a fixed price for the product or products covered by the contract for an agreed upon period of time.  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.  In addition, the market for the skilled labor we require to operate our plants is highly competitive.

A very large percentage of the products we produce are used on military as opposed to civilian aircraft. These products can be replacement spare parts for aircraft already in the fleet of the armed services, or for the production of new aircraft. Recent reductions to the Defense Department budget commonly referred to as Sequestration have reduced the demand for both production and replacement spares. This reduced demand has reduced our sales. The impact has been felt most severely at AIM, and to a lesser degree at our other subsidiaries. In response to the reduction in military sales, we are focusing greater efforts on the civilian aircraft market.  For example, we were recently awarded a multi-year contract valued at $27 million by a leading aerostructures manufacturer to provide Nacelle thrust struts. These components will be used in a new geared turbofan jet engine manufactured by one of the world’s leading providers of aircraft engines.  This engine is expected to be used on several new commercial jetliners.
 
 
Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of operations constitutes management’s review of the factors that affected our financial and operating performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, we had three operating segments, AIM, WMI and NTW, and separately reported our corporate overhead.  We completed the NTW Acquisition on June 20, 2012. The results of NTW from the date of acquisition are included and reflected in the discussion below. The Decimal Acquisition was completed on July 1, 2013. The results of the business acquired from Decimal for the period July 1 to September 30, 2013 are included in the results for WMI. Inasmuch as we acquired MS on November 6, 2013, it has yet to have an impact on our financial results.

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $16,052,000, an increase of $494,000 or 3.2 % compared with $15,558,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
 
·
Net sales at AIM for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $9,863,000, an increase of approximately $276,000 or 2.9% compared with $9,587,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in net sales at AIM during the quarter compares favorably with the first half of 2013 in which it reported declines in net sales compared to the prior year. The reduction in the defense department budget commonly referred to as Sequestration began to effect sales at AIM in the third quarter of 2012. In addition, AIM continues to experience delays in manufacturing landing gear product for the Navy’s E2-D aircraft due to late shipments from various suppliers.
 
 
 
·
Net sales at Welding for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $3,800,000 an increase of approximately $909,000 or 31.4% compared with $2,891,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Net sales at Welding for 2013 included sales of $557,000 relating to the business acquired from Decimal on July 1st.
 
 
·
Net sales at NTW for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $2,389, 000 a decrease of $(691,000) or (22.5%) compared with net sales of $3,080,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decline in sales at NTW results from delays in certain shipments which are now expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2013.
 
As indicated in the table below, three customers represented 58.9% and 59.0%, respectively, of total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Gross Profit:
 
 
Consolidated: Gross profit from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately $(91,000) or (2.4%), to approximately $3,743,000 or approximately 23.3% of sales as compared to gross profit of $3,834,000 or approximately 24.6% for the comparable period in 2012.The decrease in gross profit results in part from the decline in sales at NTW. NTW earns a greater gross profit margin on sales than our other subsidiaries consequently, a decline in sales at NTW, or a decline in NTW’s proportion of total sales has a disproportionate effect on gross profit.
 
AIM: Gross profit for three months ended September 30, 2013 at AIM increased by approximately $138,000 or 7.7% to $1,926,000 as compared to $1,788,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in gross margin is proportionate to the increase in net sales.
 
WMI: Gross profit at Welding for three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $103,000 or 12.1% to $953,000 for 2013 compared to $850,000 for the comparable period in 2012. Gross margin increased at a slower rate than sales. Sales in 2013 included sales of products acquired in the Decimal Acquisition which have lower gross profit margin than WMI’s traditional products.
 
NTW: Gross profit for three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately $(332,000) or (27.8%) to $864,000 compared to $1,196,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The decline in gross profit is roughly proportionate to the decline in sales.
 
Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”):
 
 
Consolidated SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $2,712,000 and increased by $333,000 or 14.0% compared to $2,379,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. SG&A costs at NTW accounted for all of the increase. Beginning January 1, 2013, the Company began to allocate all of the corporate SG&A costs of Air Industries Group to AIM, WMI and NTW. For 2013 these are allocated 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 SG&A costs have been reclassified to reflect an allocation of AIR corporate costs of 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW. The amount reclassified in the three months ended September 30, 2012 is approximately $187,000 to AIM; $93,000 to WMI; and $93,000 to NTW.
 
The principal components of SG&A costs were:
 
    AIM: SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $823,000 a decrease of $(3,000) or less than (1%) compared to $826,000 for the comparable period in 2012.
    WMI: SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $1,050,000 an increase of $107,000 or approximately 11.3% compared to $943,000 for the comparable period in 2012.
    NTW: SG&A costs totaled approximately $839,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 an increase of $52,000 or approximately 6.6% compared to $787,000 for the comparable period in 2012.
  
 
Interest and financing costs were approximately $281,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately $(171,000) or (37.8%) as compared to $452,000 for the comparable period in 2012.  Interest expense decreased principally as a result of the conversion into common stock in June 2012 of $5.2 million of the Company’s Junior Subordinated Notes which bore interest at 12%. The decrease was offset primarily by increased interest charges to PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC”) for the revolver and term loans. The interest rate charged on the PNC debt incurred at the time of the conversion is significantly lower than the rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes.

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $1,795,000 for three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to an income tax expense of $387,000 for the comparable period in 2012. This was based upon the fact that the Company determined it no longer needed to provide a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.  This was based upon the fact that management believes that due to the sustained profitability of the Company and the probability that such profitability will continue, the net deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,534,000, an increase of $1,920,000 or 312.7% compared to net income of $614,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in net income reflects the reversal of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets as described above as well as the reduction in interest and financing costs, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin and increase in SG&A costs.

Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $45,016,000, a decrease of $(1,819,000) or (3.9%) compared with $46,835,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
 
·
Net sales at AIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $25,528,000, a decrease of approximately $(7,786,000) or (23.4%) compared with $33,314,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net sales at AIM is primarily attributable to a reduction in sales to Sikorsky and Goodrich Landing Gear Systems which management believes resulted from the reduction in the defense department budget commonly referred to as Sequestration. In addition AIM continued to experience delays in manufacturing landing gear product for the Navy’s E2-D aircraft due to late shipments from various suppliers.
 
 
 
·
Net sales at WMI for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $10,246,000 an increase of approximately $317,000 or 3.2% compared with $9,929,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net sales at WMI for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included sales of $557,000 relating to the business that was acquired from Decimal on July 1st.
 
 
·
Net sales at NTW for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $9,242,000 compared with net sales of $3,592,000 for the period June 20, 2012, the date of the NTW Acquisition, to September 30, 2012.

Gross Profit:
 
 
Consolidated: Gross profit from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $480,000 or 4.6% to approximately $11,020,000 or approximately 24.5% of sales as compared to gross profit of $10,540,000 or approximately 22.5% of sales for the comparable period in 2012.The increase in gross profit results from the inclusion of NTW for the entire nine month period in 2013 which offset the decline in gross profit at both AIM and WMI.
 
AIM: Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 at AIM decreased by approximately $(1,241,000) or (19.9%) to $4,986,000 as compared to $6,227,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease in gross profit at AIM is attributable to and declined by a comparable percentage as the decline in net sales.
 
WMI: Gross profit at Welding for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately $(225,000) or (7.7%) to $2,694,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,919,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease in gross profit at WMI was attributable to lower sales, offset in part by an increase in gross margin resulting from the reclassification of costs of certain personnel from indirect labor – factory overhead expense - to General and Administrative expense. This reclassification was made in June 2012.  The decrease was also offset by the inclusion of sales resulting from the Decimal Acquisition on July 1, 2013.
 
NTW: Gross profit for nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3,340,000.
 
 
Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”):
 
 
Consolidated SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $7,733,000 and increased by $1,543,000 or 24.9% compared to $6,190,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The inclusion of SG&A costs at NTW for the entire first nine months of 2013 compared to the period from June 20 to September 30, 2012 in the prior year accounted for nearly all of the increase in costs. Beginning January 1, 2013, the Company began to allocate all of the corporate SG&A costs of Air Industries Group to its three operating segments. For 2013, these are allocated 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW. For 2012 SG&A costs have been reclassified to reflect an allocation of AIR corporate SG&A costs of 75% to AIM and 25% to WMI for the first six months of 2012 and 50% to AIM and 25% each to WMI and NTW beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2012. (NTW was acquired on June 20, 2012). The amount reclassified for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is approximately $775,000 to AIM; $289,000 to WMI and $93,000 to NTW.
 
The principal components of SG&A costs were:
 
 
o
AIM: SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $2,405,000 and decreased by $(411,000) or (14.6%) compared to $2,816,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The decline in SG&A costs at AIM results from the reclassification of AIR corporate SG&A costs described above and from other cost reductions.
 
o
WMI: SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $2,734,000 and increased by $611,000 or approximately 28.8% compared to $2,123,000 for the comparable period in 2012.  A portion of this increase is related to the allocation of corporate expenses to WMI and the additional SG&A costs associated with the acquisition of the assets of Decimal.
 
o
NTW: SG&A costs totaled approximately $2,594,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2013. SG&A costs were $828,000 for the period June 20 to September 30, 2012. NTW was acquired on June 20, 2012
 
Interest and financing costs were approximately $1,027,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately $(395,000) or (27.8%) as compared to $1,422,000 for the comparable period in 2012.  Interest expense decreased principally as a result of the conversion into common stock in June 2012 of $5.2 million of the Company’s Junior Subordinated Notes which bore interest at 12%. The decrease was offset primarily by increased interest charges to PNC for the revolver and term loans. The interest rate charged on the PNC debt incurred at the time of the conversion is significantly lower than the rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes.

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $876,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to an income tax expense of $1,036,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was based upon the fact that the Company determined it no longer needed to provide a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.  This was based upon the fact that management believes that due to the sustained profitability of the Company and the probability that such profitability will continue, the net deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3,039,000, an increase of $1,284,000 or 73.2% compared to net income of $1,755,000 for the comparable period in 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company is highly leveraged and relies upon its ability to continue to borrow from PNC.  Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under our existing loan agreements with PNC.  The Company is required to maintain a lockbox account with PNC, into which substantially all of the Company’s cash receipts are paid.  If PNC were to cease lending, the Company would lack funds to continue its operations.

On June 27, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Security Agreement (“Loan Facility”) with PNC.  The Loan Facility now provides for maximum borrowings under a revolving loan of $18,000,000 (including an inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000) limited to the borrowing base as defined and a term loan in the amount of $2,847,604.  The Company paid an amendment fee of $10,000 in connection with the execution of the amended Loan Facility. This amendment reduced our interest rate on the term loan from 11.5% per annum to 5.0% per annum. The interest rate on our revolving credit line, which adjusts based upon changes in a referenced rate, was also reduced from 5.5% per annum to 4% per annum.
 
 
On July 1, 2013 the Company acquired certain assets including production equipment, inventory and intangible assets of Decimal Industries.  The business acquired has become a division of WMI. The purchase price of the assets was $975,000, which included inventory of approximately $665,000 valued at a percentage of completion including anticipated profit on sale. The purchase price was paid as follows: $315,000 in cash at closing with the balance payable in eight equal monthly installments without interest in the amount of $76,667, with a final payment in the amount of $46,766. As part of the transaction, the Company leased for 12 months until June 2014 the facility that had been occupied by Decimal Industries. It is our intention to relocate the operations of Decimal into WMI’s facility in Hauppauge.

On November 6, 2013 the Company acquired all of the common stock of MS for $25,000 due at the date of closing and the net value of the accounts receivable in excess of the accounts payable, which is due at the beginning of December 2013.  Miller Stuart is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft manufacturers and the US Military. Miller Stuart specializes in electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies, electronic equipment and printed circuit boards.

As of September 30, 2013, our debt for borrowed monies in the amount of $22,287,000 consisted of the revolving credit note due to PNC in the amount of $16,831,000, the term loan due to PNC in the amount of $2,398,000, a note due the sellers of WMI in the aggregate amount of $897,000, Junior Subordinated Notes of $1,000,000 and capitalized lease obligations of $1,161,000. This represents an increase in our debt for borrowed monies at September 30, 2012 of $21,431,000, when the revolving note due to PNC was $12,507,000, the term loan due to PNC was $4,950,000, the note due the sellers of WMI was $1,530,000, the principal of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes was $1,000,000 and capitalized lease obligations were $1,444,000.

On July 1, 2013, coincident with the Decimal Acquisition, we retired capital leases in the amount of $454,000 that had maturities of less than one year remaining and took title to the equipment that had been leased. We pledged this equipment to PNC as collateral supporting the term loan. The equipment acquired in the Decimal Transaction was also pledged as collateral to PNC and we are in the process of amending the Loan Facility to pledge the assets of MS to PNC in support of the revolving note.

Anticipated uses of Cash
As a requirement of our Loan Facility substantially all of our cash receipts from operations are deposited into our lockbox account at PNC.  These cash receipts are used to reduce our indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Note.  Repayment under the term loan shall consist of 19 consecutive monthly principal installments, the first 18 of which will be in the amount of $150,000 and which commenced on the first business day of July 2013, with the 19th and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the first business day of January 2015.  Additionally, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 (formerly September 30, 2012), upon a request from PNC no later than the last day of any fiscal quarter, we would be required to make a payment equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined) for that fiscal quarter at such time as we deliver our financial statements for such fiscal quarter to PNC, but no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter.   PNC did not make such a request for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, there is approximately $518,000 due to NTW Dissolution, the party from which we acquired the business now operated by NTW.  This amount relates to a working capital adjustment based on the net working capital of Nassau Tool Works as of June 20, 2012, the date of the acquisition as compared to the net working capital at December 31, 2011.  The $518,000 will be offset by $107,000 that is due to Air Industries Group for the payment of certain liabilities that were not assumed in the transaction. Additionally there is approximately $507,000 due to the former owners of Decimal Industries, which is to be paid in monthly installments of approximately $76,667.

Subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and compliance with our senior lender’s loan covenants, we intend to continue to make quarterly dividend payments on our common stock. Dividend payments of $0.0625 per share or approximately $360,000 were made in the last quarter of 2012 and the first two quarters of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013 the dividend was increased to $0.125 per share or approximately $716,000, and paid on October 15, 2013.

Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of our net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes to working capital.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our net cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million was comprised of net income of $3,039,000 less $596,000 of cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities plus adjustments for non-cash items of $1,113,000.  Adjustments for non-cash items consisted primarily of depreciation of property and equipment of $1,242,000, amortization of capitalized engineering costs, intangibles and other items of $1,234,000, bad debt expense of $275,000 representing all amounts more than 120 days past due, and non-cash compensation of $15,000. These non-cash items were offset by $28,000 of deferred gain on the sale of real estate and $1,625,000 of deferred income taxes.  The decrease in operating assets and liabilities consisted of a net increase in Operating Assets of $41,000 and a net decrease in Operating Liabilities of $555,000.  The increases in Operating Assets were comprised of an increase in inventory of $1,295,000 offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $807,000 due to the timing of shipments to and cash receipts from customers and decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $447,000.  The net decrease in Operating Liabilities was comprised of decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $362,000 due to the timing of the receipt and payment of invoices and income taxes payable of $249,000 offset by an increase in deferred rent of $56,000.
 
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities consists of capital expenditures for property and equipment, capitalized engineering costs and the cash portion of the cost of any business we might acquire.

(a) 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 under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) 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.
