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, 2013 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining Corporation (“AIM”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. ("WMI" or “Welding”), Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMI and Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”) (together, the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2. ACQUISITION

On April 1, 2014, the Company acquired, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Welding, all of the common stock of Woodbine Products, Inc. (“Woodbine”) for $2.4 million and 30,000 shares of the common stock of AIRI, valued at $9.68 per share, which was the closing share price on April 1, 2014. Additionally, a working capital adjustment is to be calculated within 60 days of closing and is payable to the appropriate party within 10 days of such calculation. Woodbine is a long established manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers. Woodbine specializes in welded and brazed chassis structures housing electronics in aircraft. Woodbine’s products and customers are very complementary to those of Decimal Industries, Inc., which was acquired in July 2013.

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

Note 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principal Business Activity

The Company through AIM is primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft structural parts, and assemblies for prime defense contractors in the aerospace industry in the United States. Welding is a specialty welding and products provider whose significant customers include the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, subcontractors, and original equipment manufacturers. NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter aircraft. The Company's customers consist mainly of publicly- traded companies in the aerospace industry.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory at March 31, 2014 and 2013 was computed based on a “gross profit” method.

The Company valued inventory at December 31, 2013 at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.

Credit and Concentration Risks

There were two customers that represented 54.5% and three customers that represented 59.3% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

Customer		Percentage of Sales
		2014		2013
		(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
	1		32.3		25.8
	2		22.2		**

* Customer was less than 10% of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2014
** Customer was less than 10% of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2013

There were two customers that represented 42.9% of gross accounts receivable at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This is set forth in the table below.

Customer		Percentage of Receivables
		March		December
		2014		2013
		(Unaudited)
	1		25.1		**
	2		17.8		22.8
	3		*		20.1

* Customer was less than 10% of Gross Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2014
** Customer was less than 10% of Gross Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2013

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:

	March 31,		March 31,
	2014		2013
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earning per share		5,863,564		5,711,093
Effect of dilutive stock options and warrants		262,345		98,479
Weighted average shares outstanding and dilutive securities used to compute dilutive earnings per share		6,125,909		5,809,572

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	March 31,		March 31,
	2014		2013
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Stock Options		17,048		12,548
Warrants		-		250
		17,048		12,798

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 $3,000 and $0 for the three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted 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. This guidance is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill (a consensus of the Private Company Council)" (ASU 2014-02). ASU 2014-02 allows an accounting alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. An entity within the scope of the amendment that elects the accounting alternative in ASU 2014-02 should amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years, or less than 10 years if the entity demonstrates that another useful life is more appropriate. As the Company is a public company, this standard does not apply.

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.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

(ii)	a $1,948,000 term loan.

On April 1, 2014, the Loan Facility was amended and the Company paid a loan amendment fee of $15,000. These amendments added Woodbine as a borrower on the Loan Facility and increased the maximum borrowings to $22,676,000 less repayments of the Term Loan made on or after the closing date. The maximum borrowings consist of the following:

(i)	a $20,000,000 revolving loan (includes inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000) and

(ii)	a $2,676,000 term loan.

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 sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one half of one percent (2.50%) with respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Prior to the amendment the revolving credit note bore 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 sum of the Eurodollar rate plus two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The revolving credit note had an interest rate of 4.0 % per annum at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and an outstanding balance of $16,213,000 and $12,029,000, 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 revolving loan and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base. As such, the Company generally has no cash on hand. Because the revolving loan contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the loans are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.

Under the terms of the Loan Facility, the maturity date of the term loan was the first business day (as defined) of January 2015. The term loan 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 percent (3.00%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Repayment under the term loan consisted of 19 consecutive monthly principal installments, the first 18 of which were $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 March 31, 2014, At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance due under the term loan was $1,498,000 and $1,948,000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On April 1, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $1,328,000. The repayment of the Term Loan was also amended on that date to thirty-two consecutive monthly principal installments, the first thirty-one of which shall be in the amount of $31,859 commencing on the first business day of May 2014, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a thirty-second and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016.

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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2014 the future minimum principal payments for the term loan as amended are as follows:

For the twelve months ending	Amount
March 31, 2015	$	501,000
March 31, 2016		382,000

Interest expense related to the Loan Facilities amounted to approximately $186,000 and $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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. Capital lease obligations totaled $1,680,000 and $1,787,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, with various interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 9.5%.

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 due dates of the remaining Junior Subordinated Notes were extended from November 18, 2013 to mature on November 30, 2016 and are subordinated to the Company's obligations to PNC.

The balance owed on the Junior Subordinated Notes at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 amounted to $1,000,000.

Interest expense on the Junior Subordinated Notes amounted to $30,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock Issuances

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,442 shares of its common stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of Warrants.

On October 28, 2013, the Company sold 133,000 shares of its common stock for $7.50 a share for gross proceeds of $997,500. The Company reserves the right to pay Taglich Brothers a placement agent fee in connection with the sale in an amount not to exceed $20,000.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement contained a provision such that if at any time prior to April 30, 2014, the Company, in a transaction in which it receives gross proceeds in excess of $1,000,000, issues or otherwise sells or distributes shares of its preferred stock, common stock or options, warrants, rights or other securities to purchase or convertible into shares of its preferred stock or common stock, hereinafter, the “New Securities,” (other than compensatory options to purchase no more than 500,000 shares issued to the directors, employees or regularly engaged consultants of the Company) at its option, the buyer may elect to return all, but not less than all, of the shares to the Company and subscribe for the New Securities to be sold or distributed by the Company. In such event, the buyer shall receive the number of New Securities as is equal to the result obtained by dividing the Aggregate Purchase Price by the price per share at which the New Securities are being sold by the Company. No additional shares were issued as a result of these provisions.

On April 1, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Woodbine, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Woodbine.

Dividends

On March 26, 2014, the Board of Directors approved and the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share paid on April 22, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2014. The approximate amount of the dividend was $880,000.

Stock Options

On June 3, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”). The 2013 plan is virtually identical to and is intended to replace, the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. 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.”

Down Round Feature

As discussed above, the Company issued shares of common stock under a Common Stock Purchase Agreement which contained a “down round” feature. Based on an evaluation as discussed in ASC No. 815-5, “Embedded Derivatives” and ASC No. 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the down round feature in the common stock issued was not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the down round feature should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.

Table of Contents

AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company did not value the derivative liability at October 25, 2013, the date of consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was operating profitably and had generated net cash through operations for the trailing nine months of $3,556,000. Further, at such time the Company was not anticipating any material acquisitions or significant capital expenditures that would require the Company to seek additional cash financing. Moreover, although the Company might seek additional capital to complete a new acquisition, it was only likely to seek to complete an acquisition if it was accretive to earnings. If triggering the down round feature would render an acquisition dilutive rather than accretive, it was unlikely that the acquisition would be made until after the down round feature expired.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at March 31, 2014. At such date, the Company determined that it would not issue equity financing prior to April 30, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. No additional shares were issued as a result of these provisions.

During the year ended December 31, 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 both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,092,000.

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

Note 10. 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. 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 both 2014 and 2013, these are allocated 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW.

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 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, 2013, which was filed on March 25, 2014, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

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 Geared 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 Industries became part of our subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”). On November 6, 2013, WMI acquired 100% of the stock of Miller Stuart Inc., (“MS”). For the immediate future, MS will continue to be operated as a separate business unit and not become part of WMI. Consequently, during the first quarter of 2014, we had four operating subsidiaries – Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”), WMI, NTW and MS. On April 1, 2014, our WMI subsidiary acquired 100% of the stock of Woodbine Products, Inc. ("WPI"). We plan to incorporate the operations of WPI into WMI during 2014.

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. MS was founded in 1966 and is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft manufacturers and the US Military. MS 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.

Table of Contents

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 awarded a multi-year contract by a leading aerostructures manufacturer to provide nacelle thrust struts. The contract is valued at $27 million and 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 also expected to be used on several new commercial jetliners. Based on projections of sales from our customers, we expect that the majority of revenue from this contract will be in calendar 2016 and beyond.

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 months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, we had three operating segments, AIM, WMI (including MS) and NTW, and separately reported our corporate overhead. The results of operations of Decimal and MS have been reflected within our financial reports since the dates of their acquisition, July 1, 2013 and November 6, 2013, respectively.

Consolidated net sales from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were approximately $15,453,000, an increase of $1,128,000 or 7.9 % compared with $14,325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net sales at AIM for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $7,131,000, a decrease of approximately $(347,000) or (4.6%) compared with $7,478,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in sales at AIM results from continuing reductions in defense spending and continued 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 March 31, 2014 were $3,313,000, an increase of approximately $174,000 or 5.5% compared with $3,139,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net sales at Welding for 2014 included sales of $318,000 relating to Decimal and MS which were acquired on July 1, 2013 and November 6, 2013, respectively.

Gross Profit:

	●	Consolidated: Gross profit from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by approximately $398,000 or 10.9%, to approximately $4,045,000 or approximately 26.2% of sales as compared to gross profit of $3,647,000 or approximately 25.5% for the comparable period in 2013.The increase in gross profit results from the increase in the proportion of our sales generated by NTW which earns a greater gross profit margin on sales than our other subsidiaries.
	●	AIM: Gross profit for three months ended March 31, 2014 at AIM decreased by approximately $(175,000) or (12.0%) to $1,285,000 as compared to $1,460,000 for the comparable period in 2013. The decrease in gross margin is disproportionate to the decrease in net sales. The gross profit margin at AIM decreased from 19.5% of sales in 2013 to 18.0% of sales in 2014.
	●	WMI: Gross profit at Welding for three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $(11,000) or (1.3%) to $838,000 for 2014 compared to $849,000 for the comparable period in 2013. Gross margin decreased while sales increased due to inclusion of Decimal and MS products in 2014 which have lower gross profit margin than WMI’s traditional products.
	●	NTW: Gross profit for three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by approximately $584,000 or 43.6% to $1,922,000 compared to $1,338,000 for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in gross profit results from increased sales and from a slight increase in gross margin percentage.

Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”):

●	Consolidated SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $2,816,000 and increased by $347,000 or 14.0% compared to $2,469,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. An increase in SG&A costs at WMI, principally as a result of the Decimal and MS acquisition, accounted for substantially all of the increase. The principal components of SG&A costs were:

	o	AIM: SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $774,000 a decrease of $(21,000) or (2.6%) compared to $795,000 for the comparable period 2013.

	o	WMI: SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $1,139,000 an increase of $310,000 or approximately 37.4% compared to $829,000 for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in SG&A costs at WMI reflects the recent additions of the operations of Decimal and MS.

	o	NTW: SG&A costs totaled approximately $903,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 an increase of $58,000 or approximately 6.9% compared to $845,000 for the comparable period in 2013.

Interest and Financing Costs; Income Taxes and Net Income:

Interest and financing costs were approximately $303,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $(82,000) or (21.3%) as compared to $385,000 for the comparable period in 2013. Interest expense decreased as a result of lower loan balances and lower interest rates.

Income taxes were approximately $584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (63.1% of income before income taxes) and $489,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (63.7% of income before income taxes).

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $341,000, an increase of $62,000 or 22.2% compared to net income of $279,000 for the comparable period in 2013.

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 April 1, 2014, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to 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 $20,000,000 (including an inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000) limited to the borrowing base as defined and a term loan, initially in the amount of $2,676,000. The maturity date of the term loan was extended to November 30, 2016, and the term loan is to be paid in thirty-two consecutive monthly principal installments, commencing on the first business day of May 2014, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, the first thirty-one of which shall be in the amount of $31,859, with a thirty-second and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November, 2016. The Company paid an amendment fee of $15,000 in connection with the execution of the amended Loan Facility.

On April 1, 2014, the Company acquired, through its wholly-owned subsidiary WMI, all of the common stock of WPI for $2.4 million and 30,000 shares of the common stock of AIRI, valued at $9.68 per share, which was the closing share price on April 1, 2014. Additionally, a working capital adjustment is to be calculated within 60 days of closing and is payable to the appropriate party within 10 days of such calculation.

As of March 31, 2014, our debt for borrowed monies in the amount of $20,954,000 consisted of the revolving credit note due to PNC in the amount of $16,213,000, the term loan due to PNC in the amount of $1,498,000, a note due the sellers of WMI in the aggregate amount of $563,000, Junior Subordinated Notes of $1,000,000 and capitalized lease obligations of $1,680,000. This represents an increase in our debt for borrowed monies at December 31, 2013 of $17,496,000, when the revolving note due to PNC was $12,029,000, the term loan due to PNC was $1,948,000, the note due the sellers of WMI was $732,000, the principal of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes was $1,000,000 and capitalized lease obligations were $1,787,000. The increase in the amount outstanding under the revolving credit note principally reflects amounts borrowed to support the increase in accounts receivable.

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 and are then borrowed according to a borrowing base to support our operations. As indicated above, the payment requirements under the term loan were amended on April 1, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, 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 was approximately $47,000 due to the former owners of Decimal, which was paid on April 1, 2014.

Currently, we are in the later stages of negotiations with two acquisition candidates. The first acquisition candidate is a fabricator of sheet metal components using drop hammer and hydro forming machinery located in the Southwestern United States (the “SW Target”). The SW Target is currently a supplier of components to WMI. Its other customers include major aerospace companies, some of which already do business with us. The second target (the “NE Target”), located in New England, is a logistics company which aggregates products and assembles kits of equipment for the US Military and Government.

If all both acquisitions were completed, it is anticipated that for the foreseeable future, the operations of the SW Target and NE Target would remain in their current locations and be operated as separate subsidiaries of Air Industries.

As of the date hereof, there is no binding contract with the shareholders of either of the two Targets and there can no assurance that either or both of the transactions will be consummated.

Subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and compliance with PNC’s loan covenants, we intend to continue to make quarterly dividend payments on our common stock. On January 24, 2014, we paid a dividend equal to $0.125 per share or $733,000 to all shareholders of record as of January 9, 2014. On April 22, 2014, we paid a dividend equal to $0.15 per share or $880,000 to all shareholders of record as of April 15, 2014.

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 description of capitalized engineering costs can be found in footnote 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 cash used in investing activities was $241,000. This was comprised of $54,000 for capitalized engineering costs and $187,000 for the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities consists of the net proceeds from the sale of our equity securities, dividend payments, the borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities with our senior lender, and repayment of our capital lease obligations and other notes payable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 cash provided by financing activities was $2,705,000. This was comprised of additional borrowings of $4,183,000 under our revolving credit facility offset by repayments on our term loan of $450,000, $108,000 in repayments under our capital leases, $168,000 paid to the former shareholders of WMI, $733,000 used for dividends and $19,000 related to Lease Impairment.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results.

Inventory Valuation

For interim reporting, the Company computes its inventory based on a “gross profit” method.

For annual reporting, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.

AIM and NTW generally purchase inventory only when non-cancellable contracts for orders have been received for finished goods. AIM and NTW occasionally produce finished goods in excess of purchase order quantities in anticipation of future purchase order demand. Historically this excess has been used in fulfilling future purchase orders. The Company periodically evaluates inventory items that are not secured by purchase orders and establishes reserves for obsolescence accordingly. The Company also reserves for excess quantities, slow-moving goods, and for other impairments of value.

WMI generally produces pursuant to customer orders and maintains relatively lower inventory levels than AIM or NTW.

The Company presents inventory net of progress billings in accordance with the specified contractual arrangements with the United States Government, which results in the transfer of title of the related inventory from the Company to the United States Government, when such progress payments are received.

Capitalized Engineering Costs

The Company has contractual agreements with customers to produce parts, which the customers design. Though the Company has not designed and thus has no proprietary ownership of the parts, the manufacturing of these parts requires pre-production engineering and programming of our machines. The pre-production costs associated with a particular contract are capitalized and then amortized beginning with the first shipment of product pursuant to such contract. These costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of the estimated length of the contract, or three years.

If the Company is reimbursed for all or a portion of the pre-production expenses associated with a particular contract, only the unreimbursed portion would be capitalized. The Company may also progress bill customers for certain engineering costs being incurred. Such billings are recorded as progress billings (a reduction of the associated inventory) until the appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Terms and Conditions contained in customer purchase orders may provide for liquidated damages in the event that a stop-work order is issued prior to the final delivery of the product.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Payments received in advance from customers for products delivered are recorded as customer deposits until earned, at which time revenue is recognized. The Terms and Conditions contained in our customer Purchase orders often provide for liquidated damages in the event that a stop work order is issued prior to the final delivery. The Company utilizes a Returned Merchandise Authorization or RMA process for determining whether to accept returned products. Customer requests to return products are reviewed by the contracts department and if the request is approved, a credit is issued upon receipt of the product. Net sales represent gross sales less returns and allowances. Freight out is included in operating expenses.

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes certain revenues under a bill and hold arrangement with two of its large customers. For any requested bill and hold arrangement, the Company makes an evaluation as to whether the bill and hold arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition. The customer must initiate the request for the bill and hold arrangement. The customer must have made this request in writing in addition to their fixed commitment to purchase the item. The risk of ownership has passed to the customer, payment terms are not modified and payment will be made as if the goods had shipped.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances change that will more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company accounts for the impairment of goodwill under the provisions of ASU 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), “Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 updated the guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. The updated guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

The Company performs impairment testing for goodwill annually, or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist, using a three-step approach. Step “zero” is a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Step one compares the fair value of the net assets of the relevant reporting unit (calculated using a discounted cash flow method) to its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill impairment.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the period of expected benefit. Long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may be impaired. The Company records an impairment loss if the undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amounts of the asset. If an impairment loss has occurred, a charge is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to fair value.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(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.
