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 newly 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 Corp. (“AIM”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. ("WMI" or “Welding”), Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), Woodbine Products, Inc. (“Woodbine” or “WPI”), Decimal Industries, Inc. ("Decimal"), Eur-Pac Corporation (“Eur-Pac” or “EPC”), Electronic Connection Corporation (“ECC”), AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”), until sold in January 2017, Air Realty Group, LLC ("Air Realty"), The Sterling Engineering Corporation ("Sterling"), and Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”), (together, the “Company”).

 

Going Concern

 

The Company suffered net losses from operations of $519,000 and $10,789,000 and a net loss of $1,154,000 and $15,623,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, in 2015 the Company ceased paying dividends on its common stock and in 2016 it disposed of the real estate on which one of its operating subsidiaries is located through a sale leaseback transaction, and in January 2017 sold of one of its operating subsidiaries to raise funds for operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, and subsequent thereto, the Company has had to sell its debt and equity securities to secure funds to operate its business. Since September 2016 the Company has been issuing additional shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of cash payment of accrued dividends on its outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and since February 2017 it has issued additional convertible notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest on its outstanding convertible notes. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2017, the Company was not in compliance with two financial covenants under the Company's loan facility with PNC Bank (the “Loan Facility”).

 

The continuation of the Company's business is dependent upon future issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations. Management of the Company plans to obtain additional financing during the second quarter and the remainder of 2017 through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in dilution to the Company's existing shareholders. Although no assurances can be given, management of the Company believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. 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, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain account balances in 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

  

AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principal Business Activity

 

The Company through its AIM subsidiary is primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft structural parts, and assemblies for prime defense contractors in the aerospace industry in the United States. NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter aircraft. Welding is a specialty welding and products provider whose significant customers include the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, subcontractors, and original equipment manufacturers and upon the merger of Miller-Stuart into Welding, is a manufacturer of aerospace components specializing in electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies, electronic equipment and printed circuit boards. Woodbine is a manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers. Decimal is a manufacturer of aerospace components specializing in welded and brazed chassis structures housing electronics in aircraft whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers. Eur-Pac specializes in military packaging and supplies. Eur-Pac’s primary business is “kitting” of supplies for all branches of the United States Defense Department including ordnance parts, hose assemblies, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical assemblies. Sterling manufactures components for aircraft and ground turbine engines. Compac specializes in the manufacture of RFI/EMI (Radio Frequency Interference – Electro-Magnetic Interference) shielded enclosures for electronic components. The Company’s customers are primarily publicly traded companies in the aerospace and other industries.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

The Company does not take physical inventories at interim quarterly reporting periods. Approximately 85% of the inventory value at March 31, 2017 has been estimated using a gross profit percentage based on sales of previous periods to the net sales of the current period, as management believes that the gross profit percentage on these items are materially consistent from period to period. The remainder of the inventory value at March 31, 2017 is estimated based on the Company's standard cost perpetual inventory system, as management believes the perpetual system computed value for these items provides a better estimate of value for that inventory. Adjustments to reconcile the annual physical inventory to the Company’s books are treated as changes in accounting estimates and are recorded in the fourth quarter. The Company valued inventory at December 31, 2016 at the lower of cost on a first-in-first-out basis or market.

Raw Materials		$	7,358,000			$	7,031,000
Work in Process			20,939,000				25,635,000

Inventory Reserve			(4,619,000	)			(4,566,000	)
Total Inventory		$	38,132,000			$	39,851,000

 

Credit and Concentration Risks

 

There were four customers that represented 60.5% and 58.4% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

 

Customer	Percentage of Sales
	2017	2016
	(Unaudited)	(Unaudited)
1	16.6	23.2
2	17.1	12.7
3	14.1	11.9
4	12.7	10.6

 

There were three customers that represented 41.8% of gross accounts receivable and one customer that represented 19.9% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This is set forth in the table below.

 

 

Customer	Percentage of Receivables
	March	December
	2017	2016
	(Unaudited)
1	19.1	19.9
2	12.1	*
3	10.6	*
4	*	*

 

* Customer was less than 10% of Gross Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

 

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

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations 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:

 

		Three Months Ended
		March 31,				March 31,
		2017				2016
		(Unaudited)				(Unaudited)
Weighted average shares outstanding used
to compute basic earnings per share			7,650,165				7,584,765
Effect of dilutive stock options and
warrants			—				—
Weighted average shares outstanding and
dilutive securities used to compute dilutive
earnings per share			7,650,165				7,584,765

 

The following table sets forth securities which were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the conversion price or the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

 

		Three Months Ended
		March 31,				March 31,
		2017				2016
		(Unaudited)				(Unaudited)
Convertible Preferred Stock			2,517,013				—
Stock Options			513,342				252,000
Warrants			653,540				56,800
			3,683,895				308,800

 

The following table sets forth securities which were excluded from the diluted per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 even though the exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares and unvested restricted stock because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during that period:

 

		March 31,				March 31,
		2017				2016
		(Unaudited)				(Unaudited)
Stock Options			3,000				312,342
Warrants			432,917				107,785
Unvested Restricted Stock			—				27,000
			435,917				447,127

 

 

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 $(73,000) and $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $9,883,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 relates to the acquisitions of Welding ($291,000), NTW ($162,000), Woodbine ($2,565,000), Eur-Pac ($1,656,000), ECC ($109,000), Sterling ($4,540,000) and Compac ($560,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not 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, 2017.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2015-15 “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting”. The amendments to the SEC paragraphs in this update state that given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10)” (“ASU 2016-01”).The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is enhancing the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is part of the FASB Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2016-09 will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2017, and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-10”). The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. They are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments do not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. The amendments provide clarifying guidance in certain arrow areas and add some practical expedients. These amendments are effective at the same date that Topic 606 is effective. Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Topic 606 is effective for nonpublic entities one year later. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the amendments to Topic 606 and these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. The changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during the period should be included in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balance reconciliation on the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one-line item within the statement of financial position, an entity shall calculate a total cash amount in a narrative or tabular format that agrees to the amount shown on the statement of cash flows. Details on the nature and amounts of restricted cash should also be disclosed. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”), Business Combinations, which clarifies the definition of a business, particularly when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or dispositions of assets or businesses. The first part of the guidance provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business; the second part of the guidance provides a framework to evaluate whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The guidance will be effective after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for transactions that have not been reported in issued financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these financial statements.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with its carrying amount has been eliminated. Thus, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (i.e., what was previously referred to as Step 1). In addition, ASU No. 2017-04 requires entities having one or more reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to disclose (1) the identity of such reporting units, (2) the amount of goodwill allocated to each, and (3) in which reportable segment the reporting unit is included. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective as follows: (1) for a public business entity that is an SEC filer for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

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

 

On May 2, and May 10, 2017, we borrowed an aggregate of $750,000 from each of Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich. The two loans totaled $1,500,000.

 

On May 12, 2017, we issued and sold to seven accredited investors, including Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, an aggregate of $3,089,186 principal amount of our Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 12, 2018, together with warrants to purchase a total of 372,191 shares of common stock, for a total purchase price of $2,999,198, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,495,870, net of the cancellation of $1,503,328 of indebtedness we owed to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich for working capital advances made on May 2 and 10, 2017 together with accrued interest.

 

On May 19, 2017 we issued and sold to ten accredited investors, including a partnership in which Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich are partners, an aggregate of $1,069,438 principal amount of our Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 12, 2018, together with warrants to purchase a total of 128,848 shares of common stock, for a total purchase price of $1,038,286. The Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 12, 2018 sold on May 19 2017 and warrants are identical to those sold by the Company on May 12, 2017, except for the date of issuance.

 

Our Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 12, 2018 (the “May 2018 Notes”) and related warrants were issued for a purchase price equal to 97% of the principal amount of the May 2018 Notes purchased. The principal amount of each May 2018 Note will be increased by 2% for each 30 days it remains outstanding commencing August 1, 2017. Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the May 2018 Notes), the May 2018 Notes will accrue late interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Payment of the principal and accrued interest, if any, on the May 2018 Notes is junior and subordinate in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness under the Loan Facility.

 

The principal amount, together with accrued interest, if any (together, the “Conversion Amount”), of the May 2018 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock until November 12, 2017 at an initial conversion price of $2.49 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments for stock splits and certain fundamental transactions, including recapitalizations, mergers and other business combination transactions (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), and thereafter at the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price and 75% of the five (5) Weighted Average Prices (as defined in the May 2018 Notes) of the common stock during the five consecutive trading day period ending on the trading immediately preceding the day of a request by the holder for conversion of the May 2018 Notes. The Company has the right to redeem all, or a portion of (on a pro rata basis), the May 2018 Notes upon written notice to the holders not less than three trading days prior to the applicable redemption date. Subject to the subordination provisions of the May 2018 Notes, holders of the May 2018 Notes have the right to request the redemption of their Notes at any time, and following an Event of Default or in advance of a Change of Control (as defined in the May 2018 Notes).

 

The warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $2.49 per share until May 12, 2022, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number of shares based upon prevailing market prices when exercised. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as recapitalizations, mergers and other business combination transactions. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be reset, (x) to the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold in a public offering of the Company’s common stock, if lower than the exercise price then in effect, provided the Company receives gross process of at least $3,000,000 from the sale of the shares of common stock sold in that offering, or (y) the Weighted Average Price (as defined in the 2018 Notes) of the common stock on the first date on which none of the 2018 Notes are outstanding, if lower than the exercise price then in effect, whichever event first occurs.

 

The Company has paid or agreed to pay a fee of $191,155 to Taglich Brothers, Inc. and another third party entity for acting as placement agents for with the sale of the May 2018 Notes and warrants.

PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC")

 

The Company has a Loan Facility with PNC secured by substantially all of its assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility was amended in June 2016 (the “Twelfth Amendment”) and September 2016 (the “Thirteenth Amendment”). In connection with the Twelfth Amendment, the Company paid PNC a fee of $100,000 and reimbursed it for the fees and expenses of its counsel. The Twelfth Amendment provides for a $33,000,000 revolving loan. In addition, in the Twelfth Amendment the four term loans (Term Loan A, Term Loan B, Term Loan C and Term Loan D) then outstanding were consolidated into a single term loan with the initial principal amount of $7,387,854. Further, in the Twelfth Amendment the Company acknowledged that there were then outstanding excess advances under the revolving loan in the amount of $12,500,000.

 

Under the terms of the Loan Facility, as amended, the revolving loan now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three- quarters of one percent (1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans; and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus four and one-half of one percent (4.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. The amount outstanding under the revolving loan, exclusive of the excess advance, was $18,847,000 and $24,393,000, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The Loan Facility was further amended pursuant to the Thirteenth Amendment, to modify the advance rate with respect to our inventory to be the lesser of (i) 75% of the eligible inventory, an increase from 50%, and (ii) 90% of the liquidation value of the eligible inventory, an increase from 85%, subject to the inventory sublimit of $12,500,000 and such reserves as PNC may deem proper. In addition, in the Thirteenth Amendment the lender waived any default resulting from the Company’s obligation to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the period ended June 30, 2016, consented to the issuance of the Company’s 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes and the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The repayment terms of the Term Loan provided for in the Twelfth Amendment consist of sixty (60) consecutive monthly principal installments, the first fifty-nine (59) of which shall be in the amount of $123,133 commencing on the first business day of July, 2016, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a sixtieth (60th) and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the last business day of June, 2021.

 

 

At the closing of the Twelfth Amendment, the Company paid $1,500,000 to reduce the outstanding excess under the revolving loan from $12,500,000 to $11,000,000. It also agreed that the excess advances will be paid down by $100,000 each week commencing the second week after the closing of the Twelfth Amendment.

 

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 the 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 and maintain a minimum EBITDA. In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of capital expenditures it can make. The Company also is limited as to the amount of dividends it can pay its shareholders, as defined in the Loan Facility. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant or minimum EBITDA covenant. The failure to maintain the requisite Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and minimum EBITDA constitutes a default under the Loan Facility and PNC at its option may give notice to the Company that all amounts under the Loan Facility are immediately due and payable. Consequently, all amounts due under the term loan are also classified as current. The Company has requested a waiver from PNC for the failure to meet the specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and minimum EBITDA covenant. Because the revolving loans contain a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, all of the loans outstanding with PNC are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.

 

As of March 31, 2017, our debt to PNC in the amount of $23,427,000 consisted of the revolving credit loan in the amount of $18,847,000 and the term loan in the amount of $4,580,000. As of December 31, 2016, our debt to PNC in the amount of $31,042,000 consisted of the revolving credit note due to PNC in the amount of $24,393,000 and the term loan due to PNC in the amount of $6,649,000.

 

Each day, the Company’s cash collections are swept directly by the bank to reduce the revolving loans and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base formula. 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, 2017, the scheduled future minimum principal payments for the term loan are as follows, however as discussed above, the balance of the term loan has been classified as current:

  

For the twelve months ending			Amount
March 31, 2018		$	1,478,000
March 31, 2019			1,478,000
March 31, 2020			1,478,000
March 31, 2021			146,000
March 31, 2022			4,580,000
Thereafter			(4,580,000	)
Long-term portion		$	—

 

Interest expense related to these credit facilities amounted to approximately $720,000 and $435,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 $3,902,000 and $4,215,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, with various interest rates ranging from approximately 4% to 14%.

 

As of March 31, 2017, the aggregate future minimum lease payments, including imputed interest, with remaining terms of greater than one year are as follows:

 

For the twelve months ending		Amount
March 31, 2018		$	1,442,000

Related Party Notes Payable

 

On March 17, 2017, the Company borrowed $200,000 and $300,000 from each of Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, respectively, directors and principal stockholders of our company, and issued promissory notes in the principal amounts of $200,000 and $300,000 to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, respectively, to evidence our obligation to repay that indebtedness. The notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are payable on September 17, 2017. Michael and Robert Taglich have the option to convert the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest on the promissory notes into shares of common stock or other securities of the company which the Company may offer and sell in any public or private financing (each a “Financing”), on the same terms and conditions as are offered to purchasers in such Financing, or, if more favorable to us, on such other terms as may be required under the rules of the NYSE MKT, which option they must exercise by notice to the Company within three business days following the completion of such Financing. Upon completion of any Financing, upon notice to Michael and Robert Taglich, the Company has the right to convert the unpaid principal amount of those promissory notes and accrued interest thereon into shares of common stock or other of our securities sold in the Financing on the same terms and conditions as are offered to purchasers in the Financing, or if more favorable to the Company, on such other terms as may be required under the rules of the NYSE MKT, which right the Company must exercise within three business days following the completion of such Financing.

 

Related Party Notes Payable – Subsequent Events

 

On May 2, and May 10, 2017, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $750,000 from each of Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich. This indebtedness, together with accrued interest, were converted into May 2018 Notes on May 12, 2017.

 

Private Placements of 8% Subordinated Convertible Notes

 

From November 23, 2016 through March 21, 2017, the Company received gross proceeds of $4,775,000 from the sale of an equal principal amount of our 8% Subordinated Convertible Notes (the 8% Notes”), together with warrants to purchase a total of 383,032 shares of our common stock, in private placement transactions with accredited investors (the “8% Note Offerings”). In connection with the offering of the 8% Notes, the Company issued 8% Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $382,000 to Taglich Brothers, Inc., placement agent for the 8% Note Offerings, in lieu of payment of cash compensation for sales commissions, together with warrants to purchase a total of 180,977 shares of our common stock. Of the $5,147,000 principal amount of 8% Notes issued in connection with the offerings of the 8% Notes, $2,781,000 principal amount is due November 30, 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and $2,366,000 principal amount is due January 31, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the 8% Notes are junior and subordinate in right of payment to our indebtedness under the Loan Facility.

 

Interest on the 2018 Notes is payable on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly commencing February 28, 2017, in cash, or at our option, in additional 2018 Notes, provided that if accrued interest payable on $1,269,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes issued in December 2016 is paid in additional 2018 Notes, interest for that quarterly interest payment shall be calculated at the rate of 12% per annum. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum.

 

On February 28, 2017, the Company issued an additional $61,596 principal amount of 2018 Notes in payment of accrued interest. As of March 1, 2017, the Company had $5,262,596 principal amount of 8% Notes outstanding, consisting of $2,842,596 principal amount of 2018 Notes and $2,420,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes.

 

The outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest on the 8% Notes is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock conversion prices ranging from $2.25 to $4.45 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business combinations.

 

 

An event of default under the 8% Notes will occur (i) if the Company fails to make any payment under the 8% Notes within ten (10) days after the date first due, or (ii) if the Company files a petition in bankruptcy or under any similar insolvency law, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or under any similar insolvency law is filed against the Company and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 8% Notes then outstanding, upon notice to the Company and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the 8% Notes), may demand immediate payment of the unpaid principal amount of the 8% Notes, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the 8% Notes, subject to the subordination provisions of the 8% Notes.

 

The exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the 8% Note Offerings ranges from $3.00 to $4.53 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, distributions in respect of the common stock and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business combinations, and may be exercised on a cashless basis for a lesser number of shares depending upon prevailing market prices at the time of exercise. Of these warrants, 320,702 warrants may be exercised until November 30, 2021 and 243,307 warrants may be exercised until January 31, 2022.

 

Note 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and Related Financings

 

On May 25, 2016, and June 1, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of 700,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for $10.00 per share and received gross cash proceeds of $5,250,000, net of $1,750,000 principal amount of our promissory notes exchanged by Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich, two of our principal stockholders, for shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company had issued the promissory notes to Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich for amounts borrowed from September 2015 through May 2016. The September 2015 loan bore interest at the rate of 4% per annum and was to be paid on September 7, 2016. The other loans bore interest at the rate of 7% per annum and were to be repaid on June 30, 2016, or, if earlier, upon the sale of the Company’s equity from which it derived proceeds of $1,800,000 or $2,000,000 depending upon the promissory notes issued.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a stated value of $10.00 per share and are initially convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $4.92 per share (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events).  The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is 12% per annum, payable quarterly. The dividend rate increases to 15% per annum if we issue PIK Shares in lieu of payment of cash dividends payable until June 15, 2018. The number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of June 15, 2018 would increase from 700,000 shares to approximately 1,500,000 shares if we elected to pay all dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock by issuing PIK Shares.  The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock increases to 16% per annum after June 2018, 19% per annum to the extent dividends are paid in PIK Shares.

 

Dividends payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock will reduce the amount of net income, if any, or increase the amount of net loss attributable to holders of common stock. While the issuance of PIK Shares in payment of all or a portion of the dividends payable in respect of any dividend period preserves our cash, the increase in the rate of dividend which must be paid when we choose to issue PIK Shares in lieu of cash dividends further reduces the amount of net income, if any, or increases the amount of net loss attributable to holders of common stock. In addition, the issuance of PIK Shares will dilute the interests of our common stockholders.  Although holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert their shares into common stock they are unlikely to convert if the Company is unable to pay cash dividends and the price of the common stock does not increase significantly above $4.92 per share, the conversion price, for a sustained period. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock after May 26, 2018 for a redemption price of $10.00, plus accrued and unpaid dividends; however, the Company may not have sufficient cash available to effect such redemption.

 

In connection with the placement we incurred approximately $606,000 of direct offering costs and $57,000 in legal expenses and granted to the placement agents warrants to purchase 8% of the number of shares of our common stock (113,820 shares) issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering. The warrants are exercisable in whole or in part, at an initial exercise price per share of $6.15, and are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis commencing on November 26, 2016 and expiring on May 26, 2021.  The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable under the warrants are subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events.

 

 

Of the proceeds generated by the sale of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $1,500,000 was paid to PNC to reduce the amount outstanding under our Loan Facility.

 

In August 2016, the Company completed the private placement of $2,720,000 principal amount of our 12% Subordinated Convertible Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “12% Notes”), together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 110,658 shares of common stock, for a total purchase price of $2,720,000, from which we derived net proceeds of approximately $2,319,800, which was used to pay down the Company’s indebtedness under the Loan Facility and for working capital. The Company also issued to Michael Taglich a 12% Note in the principal amount of $1,520,713, together with warrants to purchase 61,817 shares of common stock, upon surrender for cancellation of promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000, together with accrued interest thereon and on notes previously exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock of $20,713.   The Company had issued the promissory notes to Michael Taglich for amounts borrowed in August 2016. The promissory notes bore interest at the rate of 7% per annum and were to be repaid on December 31, 2016, or, if earlier, upon the sale of our equity securities from which we derived proceeds of $2,000,000. In addition, the Company issued to Robert Taglich a 12% Note in the principal amount of $4,373, together with warrants to purchase 177 shares of common stock, in consideration of the forgiveness of interest of $4,373 accrued on notes previously exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The 12% Notes provided for the automatic conversion of the principal and accrued interest of the 12% Notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of shares of preferred stock we are authorized to issue from 1,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares, including 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Charter Amendment”). The Company issued 438,770 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the 12% Notes on November 30, 2016, the date the Company’s stockholders approved the Charter Amendment and the Company filed the certificate of amendment effecting the Charter Amendment with the Office of the Secretary of State of Nevada. As a result of the automatic conversion of the 12% Notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no 12% Notes are outstanding.

 

As compensation for its services as placement agent for the offering of the 12% Notes, the Company paid Taglich Brothers, Inc. a fee of $295,400 and issued to Taglich Brothers, Inc. five-year warrants to purchase 68,617 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.15, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, including stock splits, and in the event of certain fundamental transactions such as mergers and other business combinations.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding 1,202,548 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including 62,684 shares issued in lieu of payment of cash dividends on December 15, 2016. We issued an additional 45,106 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on March 15, 2017 in lieu of payment of cash dividends.

 

Note 7. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded no income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2017 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of our annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, their ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company provided a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is set forth below:

 

		2016
			(Unaudited)
Current
Federal		$	—
State			22,000

Note 8. SALE OF AMK

 

On January 27, 2017, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc. pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 27, 2017 for a purchase price of $4,500,000, net of a working capital adjustment of $(240,000), plus additional quarterly payments, not to exceed $ 1,500,000, equal to five percent (5%) of Net Revenues of AMK commencing April 1, 2017. The Company recorded a $451,000 gain on the sale of AMK.

 

Note 9. LOSS CONTINGENCIES

 

During 2016, a number of actions were commenced against the Company by vendors, landlords and former landlords, including a third party claim as a result of an injury suffered on a portion of a leased property not occupied by the Company. As certain of these claims represent amounts included in accounts payable they are not specifically discussed herein.

 

Westbury Park Associates, LLC commenced an action on or about January 11, 2017 against Air Industries Group in the NYS Supreme Court, County of Suffolk, seeking the recovery of approximately $31,000 for past rent arrears, and for an unidentified sum representing all additional rent due under a commercial lease through the end of its term, plus attorneys fees. The additional rent due through the end of the term is approximately $105,000. The litigation is in the discovery stage and the Company believes there is a meritorious defense to the claim or that the landlord can and will mitigate its future damages by finding a new tenant.

 

On January 18, 2017, REP B-2, LLC filed a petition for a warrant of eviction and a money judgment of approximately $56,000 against Air Industries Group arising from rent arrears on commercial space. On January 18, 2017, 360 Motor Parkway, LLC filed a petition for a warrant of eviction and a money judgment of approximately $12,000 against Air Industries Group arising from rent arrears on commercial space. Each proceeding has resulted in a stipulation of settlement providing monthly repayment schedules to bring those rent arrears current, the last of which are due on May 1, 2017, at which time the proceedings may be dismissed.

 

An employee of the Company commenced an action against, among others, Rechler Equity B-2, LLC and Air Industries Group, in the Supreme Court State of New York, Suffolk County, seeking compensation in an undetermined amount for injuries suffered while leaving the premises occupied by Welding Metallurgy, Inc. Rechler Equity B-2, LLC, has served a Third Party Complaint in this action against Air Industries Group, Inc. , and Welding Metallurgy, Inc. The action remains in the early pleading stage. The Company believes it is not liable to the employee and any amount it might have to pay would be covered by insurance.
