The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 20162017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

When changes are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.

Recently Issued but not probable that there would be any future orders on the A-10 beyond the 173 currently on order. As a result of the information that management became aware of in AprilAdopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 the Company estimated that the A-10 program would run through the conclusion of its current purchase order with Boeing at ship set number 173. The change in estimate resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $8.9 million and an increase in cost of sales of approximately $4.6 million, for an aggregate charge of approximately $13.5 million.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”),Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The fundamental principles of the guidance are that entities should recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of transfer of goods and services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that an entity  expects to receive for the goods and services provided. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with the new standard required to be adopted for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s project implementation team, with the assistance of a third-party consultant, has been evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, we believe that the new standard will have an impact primarily on the recognition of revenue related to distinct deliverables, as defined in the standard, within a long-term, multi-deliverable contract. We continue to review potential required disclosures. In addition, we continue to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations being undertaken by the FASB, which may impact the Company’s current conclusions. The Company will adopt the new standard on its effective date using the modified retrospective method. The Company anticipates using an input method to determine the amounts to be recognized as revenue upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and nonleasenon-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. ASU 2014-09. The updated guidance2016-02 will be effective January 1, 2019, although early adoption is effective for interimpermitted. On July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which, among other things, allows companies to elect an optional transition method to apply the new lease standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. We expect to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 and annual periodsbeginning after December 15,expect to have an estimate of the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial position during the fourth quarter of 2018. Topic ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded disclosure regarding the amounts, timing and uncertainties of cash flows related to a company’s leases. The Company is currently evaluating these disclosure requirements and are incorporating the effectcollection of relevant data into our processes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from long-term contracts with the U.S. government and commercial contractors. The contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) which provides guidance on its financial statements.the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for commercial contractors are based on the specific negotiations with each customer.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)(UNAUDITED)

All of the Company’s current long-term contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. All of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Revenues for the Company’s long-term contracts are recognized over time as the Company performs its obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. The continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in contracts that either allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and the products and services have no alternative use or the customer controls the work in progress.

Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company uses the cost-to-cost input method to measure progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts.

In applying the cost-to-cost input method, the Company compares the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs to determine its progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of estimated revenue and estimated gross profit recognized. For any costs incurred that do not contribute to a performance obligation, the Company excludes such costs from its input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective in transferring control of the asset to the customer. Costs to fulfill include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin for a contract is reflected in revenue in the period the change becomes known. Contract estimates involve considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash received during any reporting period. The Company continually evaluates all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the cost-to-cost input method; however, it cannot be assured that estimates will be accurate. If estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, the Company is required to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if estimates are accurate, there may be a shortfall in cash flow and the Company may need to borrow money, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund its work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

For the Company’s uncompleted contracts, contract assets include unbilled amounts and when the estimated revenues recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are classified as current. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of estimated revenues recognized and contract losses. Contract liabilities are classified as current. The Company’s contract assets and liabilities are reported in a gross position at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, that was included in the contract liabilities at July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2018 was $151,109 and $399,381, respectively.

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of its long-term contracts for which work has not been performed. As of September 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was $77,440,322. The Company estimates that it expects to recognize approximately 31% of its remaining performance obligations in 2018 and 69% in 2019.

In addition, the Company recognizes revenue for parts supplied for certain maintenance repair and overhaul (“MRO”) contracts at a point in time following the transfer of control to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contract.

Revenue from long-term contracts transferred to customers over time and revenue from MRO contracts transferred at a point in time accounted for approximately 95% and 5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Revenue by long-term contract type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is as follows:

Our use of derivative instruments has been to hedge interest rates. These derivative contracts are entered into with a financial institution. The Company doesWe do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes and haswe have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

We record these derivative financial instruments on the condensed balance sheets at fair value. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument for a cash flow hedge is recorded in the results of operations immediately. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations immediately.

In March 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing the Company’s exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item. No material ineffectiveness was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The interest rate swap contract was terminated as of March 24, 2016. The Company paid approximately $4,000 at termination to settle the swap contract.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a newan interest rate swap with the objective of reducing its exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of this contract match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge. The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a net deferred loss associated with the interest rate swap of approximately $10,800, which was included in other liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was determined by comparing the fixed rate set at the inception of the transaction to the “replacement swap rate,” which represents the market rate for an offsetting interest rate swap with the same notional amounts and final maturity date. The market value is then determined by calculating the present value of the interest differential between the contractual swap and the replacement swap.

As of December 31, 2017, $18,781 was included in other liabilities related to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap $15,000, net of tax of approximately $4,000, respectively, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to uncompleted open contracts, it is possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 is computed using the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock, as well as unvested RSUs. Incremental shares of 49,641 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Incremental shares of 43,064 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.

Legal Proceedings

On July 5, 2018, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Air Industries Group (“Air Industries”) relating to the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2018 (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Air Industries, pursuant to which Air Industries agreed to sell to us all of the shares of capital stock of its subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that Air Industries willfully breached its contractual obligation to provide financial information required to fulfill key conditions for closing under the Agreement. Air Industries’ answer and counterclaims, filed on July 30, 2018, denies the allegations made by the Company in the complaint and alleges that the Company breached the Agreement and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

On July 31, 2018, the Company filed a motion for preliminary injunction against Air Industries. The motion argued that the failure by Air Industries to provide financial data and other information necessary to close the transaction contemplated by the Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Company. The Company sought an order directing Air Industries to furnish the Company with all previously requested financial, operating, and other data and information relating to WMI.

See Note 12 Subsequent Events for further information subsequent to September 30, 2018 related to this litigation. In addition, for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with this litigation and with the acquisition of WMI. The Company remains committed to completing the acquisition as soon as practicable.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Litigation

On October 2, 2018, the Company entered into a court-ordered stipulation (the “Stipulation and Order”) with Air Industries with respect to the litigation discussed above in Note 11 Legal Proceedings.

As part of the Stipulation and Order, Air Industries has withdrawn its purported termination of the Agreement. Among other things, the Stipulation and Order requires Air Industries to deliver to the Company within 45 days audited, unqualified financial statements of WMI for 2017 certified by Air Industries’ auditor. Subject to fulfillment of other conditions to closing set forth in the Agreement, the parties agreed that the acquisition will close within three weeks after the Company receives the audited financial statements. The Company also agreed to promptly amend the Agreement to reflect the terms of the Stipulation and Order. The Court will retain jurisdiction of the case for all purposes, including enforcing the terms of the Stipulation and Order.

On November 9, 2018, the Court ordered an amendment to the Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger Gutilla, P.C. (“RM”) will replace CohnReznick LLP as auditors of WMI’s financial statements, consisting of the balance sheet as at December 31, 2017 and the related statements of income, retained earnings, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The Amendment provides that RM’s auditor’s report shall be delivered on or before November 16, 2018, and shall be unqualified in all respects, except that a “going concern” opinion will be considered unqualified. The Company and Air Industries agreed to share equally all fees and expenses charged by RM and all fees and expenses previously charged by CohnReznick LLP.

Public Offering

On October 19, 2018 the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,760,000 shares of its common stock, including 360,000 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $6.25 per share. The Company’s net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses, were approximately $16.10 million. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment, or strategic acquisitions.

On October 19, 2018, the Company used $4.1 million of the net offering proceeds for prepayments of loans under the BankUnited Facility, as amended, including $1.2 million applied to the term loan and $2.9 million applied to the revolving line of credit.

BankUnited Facility

On November 9, 2018, BankUnited, N.A., as Sole Arranger, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Lender, and Citizens Bank, N.A., as Lender, agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with the leverage ratio financial covenant of the BankUnited Facility as of September 30, 2018.

Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts. Our total backlog as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017 was as follows:

These long-term contracts are expected to have yearly orders, which will be funded in the future.

The low level of funded backlog on commercial programs is the result of customers placing funded orders based upon expected lead time. These programs are under long-term agreements with our customers, and as such, we are protected by termination liability provisions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenueEffective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 Revenue from our contracts overContracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the contractual period under the percentage-of-completion (“POC”)modified retrospective method for all of accounting. Under the POC method of accounting,its contracts. ASC 606 requires sales and gross profit areto be recognized over the contract period as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as an asset captioned “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.“Contract assets.” Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded as a liability captioned “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.“Contract liabilities.” Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in cost of sales in the period the change becomes known. The use of the POC method of accountingASC 606 involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any reporting period. WeThe Company continually evaluateevaluates all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting;process; however, weit cannot assure yoube assured that our estimates will be accurate. If our estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, we will be forcedthe Company is required to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if our estimates are accurate, wethere may havebe a shortfall in our cash flow and wethe Company may need to borrow money, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund ourits work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

When adjustmentschanges are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.

Following the adoption of ASC 606, the Company’s revenue recognition for all of its contracts remained materially consistent with historical practice and there was no impact in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 condensed financial statements upon adoption.

In compliance with ASC 606, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, on the December 31, 2017 condensed balance sheet, have been reclassified to contract assets. Additionally, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and contract losses, on the December 31, 2017 condensed balance sheet, have been combined and reclassified to contract liabilities.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 was $20,706,460$19,944,558 compared to $22,110,829$20,706,460 for the same period last year, a decrease of $1,404,369$761,902 or 6.4%3.7%. This decrease is predominantly the result of the wind-down of our current Northrop Grumman E-2D multi-year program as we begin transitioning to a new multi-year contract, partially offset by increased revenue from our prime contracts direct with the U.S. Government for F-16 components and T-38 kits..

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $58,397,420 compared to $57,471,112 for the same period last year, an increase of $926,308 or 1.6%. This increase is predominantly the result of ramping up of the next generation jammer pod program and the production of T-38 kits, offset by a normal cyclical decrease in revenue on the Company’s E-2D programs for both domestic and foreign sales.

Revenue from government subcontracts was $9,516,799 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $10,766,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,249,237 or 11.6%. The decrease in revenue is predominantly the result of a normal cyclical decrease in revenue on the Company’s E-2D programs for both domestic and foreign sales, offset by the ramping up of the next generation jammer pod program.

Revenue from government subcontracts was $28,228,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $33,018,118 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $4,789,661 or 14.5%. The decrease in revenue is predominantly the result of a normal cyclical decrease in revenue on the Company’s E-2D programs for both domestic and foreign sales, offset by the ramping up of the next generation jammer pod program.

Revenue from direct military was $57,471,112 compared to $57,061,826$2,891,062 for the same period last year, an increase of $409,286 or 0.7%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had information that the United States Air Force ("USAF") was intendingSeptember 30, 2018 compared to increase the number of ship sets on order$2,567,947 for the A-10. Anthree months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $323,115. The increase in the number of ship sets on order would improve the Company’s estimated gross margin on the overall program.revenue is primarily driven by an increase in revenue from T-38 kits.

In April 2016, the Company became aware that the USAF had reevaluated its position and as such had deferred any decision regarding increasing the orders on the A-10 program. These changes in position by the USAF were supported by communications from Boeing, the Company’s customer.

Based on the above facts, the Company believed that it was not probable that there would be any future orders on the A-10 beyond the 173 currently on order. As a result of the information that management became aware of in April 2016, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 the Company estimated that the A-10 program would run through the conclusion of its current purchase order with Boeing at ship set number 173. The change in estimate resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $8.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

In addition to the change in estimate adjustment to revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which caused military revenue to be unusually low in that year, military revenue in 2017 increased by approximately $10.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

At September 30, 2017,2018, we had working capital of $75,782,789$81,485,900 compared to $70,595,485$78,137,801 at December 31, 2016,2017, an increase of $5,187,304$3,348,099 or 7.3%4.3%.

Cash Flow

A large portion of our cash flow is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”“Contract Assets” on our condensed balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Because the POC method of accountingour revenue recognition policy requires us to use estimates in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money, or to raise additional capital, until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

At September 30, 2017,2018, we had a cash balance of $711,083$828,594 compared to $1,039,586$1,430,877 at December 31, 2016.2017.

Our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billingscontract assets increased by approximately $8.8$2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018.

Several of our programs require us to expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units. In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear impairment charges which may be material, for costs that are not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity.

We continue to work to obtain better payment terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternative funding sources.

We believe that our existing resources, together with the availability under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of our Form 10-Q.this filing.

Part II: Other Information

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

None.

Reference is made to the section titled “Legal Proceedings” in Note 11 to our unaudited condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report for a discussion of current legal proceedings, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

Material risks

The pendency of and uncertainty surrounding the proposed acquisition of Welding Metallurgy, Inc. could adversely affect our business.

On July 2, 2018, we received notice from Air Industries Group (“Air Industries”) that claimed to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Air Industries, pursuant to which Air Industries agreed to sell to the Company all of the shares of capital stock of its subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”).

On July 5, 2018, we filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (“Court”), against Air Industries alleging, among other things, that Air Industries willfully breached its contractual obligation to provide financial information required to fulfill key conditions for closing under the Agreement. Air Industries’ answer and counterclaims, filed on July 30, 2018, denies the allegations made by us in the complaint and alleges that we breached the Agreement and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

On July 31, 2018, we filed a motion for preliminary injunction against Air Industries. The motion argued that the failure by Air Industries to provide financial data and other information necessary to close the transaction contemplated by the Agreement would cause irreparable injury to us. We sought an order directing Air Industries to furnish us with all previously requested financial, operating, and other data and information relating to WMI.

On October 2, 2018, we entered into a court-ordered stipulation (the “Stipulation and Order”) with Air Industries. As part of the Stipulation and Order, Air Industries has withdrawn its purported termination of the Agreement. Among other things, the Stipulation and Order requires Air Industries to deliver to us within 45 days audited, unqualified financial statements of WMI for 2017 certified by Air Industries’ auditor. Subject to fulfillment of other conditions to closing set forth in the Agreement, the parties agreed that the acquisition will close within three weeks after we receive the audited financial statements. We also agreed to promptly amend the Agreement to reflect the terms of the Stipulation and Order. The Court will retain jurisdiction of the case for all purposes, including enforcing the terms of the Stipulation and Order.

On November 9, 2018, the Court ordered an amendment to the Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger Gutilla, P.C. (“RM”) will replace CohnReznick LLP as auditors of WMI’s financial statements, consisting of the balance sheet as at December 31, 2017 and the related statements of income, retained earnings, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The Amendment provides that RM’s auditor’s report shall be delivered on or before November 16, 2018, and shall be unqualified in all respects, except that a “going concern” opinion will be considered unqualified. The Company and Air Industries agreed to share equally all fees and expenses charged by RM and all fees and expenses previously charged by CohnReznick. The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

We remain committed to completing the acquisition of WMI as soon as practicable, and believe that the Stipulation and Order and the Amendment will allow us to do so. However, if the WMI acquisition is not consummated as originally proposed, we may not realize any potential benefits of the acquisition. Additionally, our inability to consummate the WMI acquisition could create uncertainty with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations are disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2017.  There have been no material changes to such risk factors.  The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report should be carefully considered in evaluatingdelay us from pursuing other strategic opportunities, or otherwise adversely affect our business, because such factorsfinancial results, and operations. It is uncertain whether the acquisition will be consummated.

We have diverted, and will continue to divert, management resources towards the proposed acquisition. Also, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs with respect to the proposed acquisition, including legal and other costs. The litigation is ongoing and the Court has retained jurisdiction of this matter. In the event that we and Air Industries are not able to close the transaction expeditiously, we may incur substantial additional legal fees. Litigation of this nature may be lengthy and may not lead to a successful result. Even though we have a significant impact onobtained favorable rulings thus far, they may not be predictive of the ultimate resolution of the matter. The incurrence of legal and other costs could adversely affect our business, operatingfinancial results, liquidity and financial condition.

Changes in accounting standardsoperations. Finally, any binding or non-binding decision of the Court that delays or eliminates our ability to consummate the WMI acquisition could create uncertainty with respect to our business, delay or prevent us from pursuing other strategic opportunities or otherwise adversely affect our reported financial results.

New accounting standards or pronouncements that may become applicable to our Company from time to time, or changes in the interpretation of existing standards and pronouncements, could have a significant effect on our reportedbusiness, financial results, for the affected periods.and operations.
