Financial Statement Presentation


1.    Financial Statement Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Air T, Inc. (“AirT”(“Air T”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared, without audit, (except as it relates to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 which have been derived from audited financial statements), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been made.

These

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017. 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periodsperiod ended December 31 June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

New


Formation of new entities
On May 5, 2021, the Company formed a new aircraft asset management business called Contrail Asset Management, LLC (“CAM”), and a new aircraft capital joint venture called Contrail JV II LLC (“CJVII”). The Company and Mill Road Capital (“MRC”) have agreed to become common members in CAM. CAM will serve two separate and distinct functions: 1) to direct the sourcing, acquisition and management of aircraft assets owned by CJVII (“Asset Management Function”), and 2) to directly invest into CJVII alongside other institutional investment partners (“Investment Function”). For the Asset Management Function, CAM will receive origination fees, management fees, consignment fees (where applicable) and a carried interest. For its Investment Function, CAM has an initial commitment to CJVII of approximately $53 million, which is comprised of an $8 million initial commitment from the Company and an approximately $45 million initial commitment from MRC. Any investment returns will be shared pro-rata between the Company and MRC.

COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 and its impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. Each of our businesses implemented measures to attempt to limit the impact of COVID-19 but we still experienced a substantial number of disruptions, and we experienced and continue to experience a reduction in demand for commercial aircraft, jet engines and parts compared to historical periods. Many of our businesses may continue to generate reduced operating cash flow and may operate at a loss during at least the first half of fiscal 2022. We expect that the impact of COVID-19 will continue to some extent. The fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions and our businesses in particular, and, as a result, present material uncertainty and risk with respect to us and our results of operations.
RecentlyAdoptedAccounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements

In May 2014, January 2020, the FASB updated the Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The Company adopted this amendment on April 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04- Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting StandardsReporting. The amendments in this Update ("ASU") 2014-09,Revenueprovide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments are effective for all entities from Contractsthe beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of this ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform.

In July 2021, the FASB updated the Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09Variable Lease Payments. The amendments in this Update address stakeholders’ concerns by amending the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under Topic 840. Lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met:
1.The lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in paragraphs 842-10-25-2 through 25-3.
2.The lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss.
When a lease is classified as operating, the lessor does not recognize a net investment in the lease, does not derecognize the underlying asset, and, therefore, does not recognize a selling profit or loss. The leased asset continues to be subject to the measurement and impairment requirements under other applicable GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, for all entities, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2.    RevenueRecognition
Substantially all of the Company’s non-lease revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude consideration of significant financing components from the determination of transaction price, to expense costs incurred to obtain a contract, and to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations.
The following is a comprehensive newdescription of the Company’s performance obligations:
Type of RevenueNature, Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations, and Significant Payment Terms
Product SalesThe Company generates revenue from sales of various distinct products such as parts, aircraft equipment, printing equipment, jet engines, airframes, and scrap metal to its customers. A performance obligation is created when the Company accepts an order from a customer to provide a specified product. Each product ordered by a customer represents a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs at a point-in-time upon shipment or when control is transferred to the customer. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are at fixed amounts based on standalone selling prices. While the majority of the Company's contracts do not have variable consideration, for the limited number of contracts that do, the Company records revenue based on the standalone selling price less an estimate of variable consideration (such as rebates, discounts or prompt payment discounts). The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected incentive amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue accordingly. Performance obligations are short-term in nature and customers are typically billed upon transfer of control. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue.

The terms and conditions of the customer purchase orders or contracts are dictated by either the Company’s standard terms and conditions or by a master service agreement or by the contract.
Support ServicesThe Company provides a variety of support services such as aircraft maintenance, printer maintenance, and short-term repair services to its customers. Additionally, the Company operates certain aircraft routes on behalf of FedEx. A performance obligation is created when the Company agrees to provide a particular service to a customer. For each service, the Company recognizes revenues over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. This revenue recognition can vary from when the Company has a right to invoice to the output or input method depending on the structure of the contract and management’s analysis.

For repair-type services, the Company records revenue over-time based on an input method of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The Company believes this is appropriate as the Company is performing labor hours and installing parts to enhance an asset that the customer controls. The vast majority of repair-services are short term in nature and are typically billed upon completion of the service.

Some of the Company’s contracts contain a promise to stand ready as the Company is obligated to perform certain maintenance or administrative services. For most of these contracts, the Company applies the 'as invoiced' practical expedient as the Company has a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the entity's performance completed to date. A small number of contracts are accounted for as a series and recognized equal to the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to less an estimate of variable consideration (typically rebates). These services are typically ongoing and are generally billed on a monthly basis.
In addition to the above type of revenues, the Company also has Leasing Revenue, which is in scope under Topic 842 (Leases) and out of scope under Topic 606 and Other Revenues (Freight, Management Fees, etc.) which are immaterial for disclosure under Topic 606.
The following table summarizes disaggregated revenues by type (in thousands):

See Note 11 for the Company's disaggregated revenues by geographic region and Note 12 for the Company’s disaggregated revenues by segment. These notes disaggregate revenue recognition modelrecognized from contracts with customers into categories that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure abouthow the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising fromare affected by economic factors.
Contract Balances and Costs

Contract liabilities relate to deferred income and advanced customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal year 2019), including interim reporting periods within that reporting year, with earlier adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09may be applied using either a full retrospective approach, under which all years included in the financial statements will be presented under the revised guidance, or a modified retrospective approach, under which financial statements will be prepared under the revised guidance for the year of adoption, but not for prior years. Under the latter method, entities would recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the effective date for contracts that still require performance by the entity, and disclose all line items in the year of adoption as if they were prepared under the old revenue guidance.

We expect to adopt this guidance when effective using the modified retrospective transition method. Our implementation approach included performing a detailed study of the various types of revenue streams and agreements that we have with our customers and assessing conformance of our current accounting practices with the new standard. We are in the process of completing our assessment and contract review under the new guidance and are in the final stages of determining the impact of the new guidance which should be completed by March 31, 2018.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330). This standard amends existing guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The amendment in ASU 2015-11 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendment should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting ASU 2015-11 to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). This standard eliminates the current requirement to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Under this new guidance, entities will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier adoption permitted. We adopted this amendment with the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  


In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, that amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments (Subtopic 825-10). ASU 2016-01 becomes effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. ASU 2016-01 removes equity securities from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 and creates ASC Topic 321,Investments – Equity Securities. Under the new guidance, all equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value on the statement of financial position, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The update eliminates the option to record changes in the fair value of equity securities through other comprehensive income. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently has investments in available for sale securities and the fair value changes of such securities are, other than in the case of possible other-than-temporary impairments, currently reflected in other comprehensive income. Provided that the Company continues to hold available for sale securities after adoption of the amended guidance, earnings are likely to become more volatile.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard 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 Accounting, which addresses several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and earlier adoption is permitted. The new standard requires that an entity recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Under the previous standard, excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in capital and tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, or in the income statement. This accounting guidance became effective for the Company beginning with the June 30, 2017 quarter.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, including trade receivables. The standard requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” for such assets at inception, and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 clarifies how cash receipts and cash payments in certain transactions are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The update requires retrospective application to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application is impracticable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.


In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the changes in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted cash balance. Amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows. Further, the ASU requires a reconciliation of balances from the statement of cash flows to the balance sheet in situations in which the balance sheet includes more than one line item of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Companies will also be disclosing the nature of the restrictions. ASU 2016-18 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step Two from the goodwill impairment test. Step Two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this standard, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The standard is effective for any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. This update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.

InAugust 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which provides guidance on hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The provisions in this standard create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes, for investors and analysts. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal years before the effective date of the standard. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance relating to the reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires companies to reclassify the stranded effects in other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a result of the change in the tax rates under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The Company has opted to early adopt this pronouncement by retrospective application to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.  The impact of the reclassification from other comprehensive income to retained earnings is approximately $42,000 and was recorded as of December 31, 2017.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Acquisitions

Acquisition of Interests in Contrail Aviation

On July 18, 2016 (the “Contrail Closing Date”), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), a subsidiary of the Company, Contrail Aviation Support, Inc. (the “Seller” or “Contrail”) and Joseph Kuhn, the sole shareholder of the Seller, Contrail Aviation completed the purchase of all of the assets owned, used or usable by the Seller, other than cash, equity in the Seller’s IC-DISC subsidiary and certain other specified excluded assets. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation also assumed certain liabilities of the Seller. Prior to this acquisition, the Seller, based in Verona, Wisconsin, engaged in the business of acquiring surplus commercial jet engines and components and supplying surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components. In connection with the acquisition, Contrail Aviation offered employment to all of the Seller’s employees and Mr. Kuhn was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Contrail Aviation.


The acquisition consideration consisted of (i) $4,033,367 in cash, (ii) equity membership units in Contrail Aviation representing 21% of the total equity membership units in Contrail Aviation, and (iii) and contingent additional deferred consideration payments which are more fully described below. In addition to the net assets of the Seller, beginning equity of Contrail included cash of approximately $904,000.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation agreed to pay as contingent additional deferred consideration up to a maximum of $1,500,000 per year and $3,000,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Earnout Payments” and each, an “Earnout Payment”), calculated as follows:

(i) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in any Earnout Period (as defined below) less than $1,500,000,no Earnout Payment will be payabledeposits with respect to such Earnout Period;

(ii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $1,500,000, but less than $2,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the EBITDA generated with respect to such Earnout Period minus $1,500,000, and (y) two (2);

(iii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $2,000,000, but less than $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,000,000;

(iv) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,500,000; and

(v) if, following the fifth Earnout Period, Contrail Aviation has generated EBITDA equal to or in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate during all Earnout Periods, but the Seller has received or is owed less than $3,000,000 in aggregate Earnout Payments pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above, Contrail Aviation will make an additional Earnout Payment to the Seller in an amount equal to the difference between $3,000,000 and the aggregate Earnout Payments already received or payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above.

As used in the Asset Purchase Agreement, “Earnout Period” means each of the firstfive twelve-full-calendar-month periods following the closing of the acquisition. The Company has estimated its liability with respect to the Earnout Payment of $2,900,000, which amount was included in the “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. As a result of the EBITDA of Contrail Aviation being approximately $2.1 million for the first Earnout Period, the Earnout Payment with respect to that Earnout Period is $1,000,000, which amount was paid in October 2017. The remaining liability of $1,900,000 is included in the “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017.

On the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation and the Seller entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail Aviation and including put and call options (“Put/Call Option”) permitting, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation at its election to purchase from the Seller, and permitting the Seller at its election to require Contrail Aviation to purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation at a price to be agreed upon, or failing such an agreement to be determined pursuant to third-party appraisals in a process specified in the Operating Agreement.

During the Company’s current estimate that the Earnout Payments will be due at the above-specified maximum level. The Contrail Closing Date balance sheet information disclosed above reflects the present value of such estimated Earnout Payments.

The Company has finalized its Contrail Aviation acquisition accounting.

The Put/Call Option specifies a fair value strike price as of the exercise date. As such,three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company assigned no value to the Put/Call Option for purposes of purchase accounting. Because the Put/Call Option permits the Seller to require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller’s equity membership interestsrecorded $5.0 thousand in Contrail Aviation, the Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Contrail Aviation between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2017, the redeemable non-controlling interest balance was increased by the Seller’s proportionate share of Contrail Aviation’s net earnings. The redeemable non-controlling interest balance was also increased by a portion of the estimated change in Contrail Aviation’s fair value between March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017 and the additional capital contribution of $252,000 made by the non-controlling member in the third quarter (the Company funded an additional $948,000 as well to maintain the current ownership percentages). The total increase in the redeemable non-controlling interest balance was approximately $554,000 from March 31, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

Acquisition of AirCo Assets

On May 2, 2017 and May 31, 2017, our newly formed subsidiaries, AirCo, LLC and AirCo Services, LLC (collectively, “AirCo”) acquired the inventory and principal business assets, and assumed specified liabilities, of Aircraft Instrument and Radio Company, Incorporated, and Aircraft Instrument and Radio Services, Inc. (collectively, the “AirCo Sellers”).

The tax impact related to the bargain purchase gain was to record a deferred tax liability and record tax expense against the bargain purchase gain of approximately $278,000.  The resulting net bargain purchase gain after taxes was approximately $502,000.

Pro forma financial information is not presented as the results are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Acquisitions and Business Investments

On October 3, 2016, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, Stratus Aero Partners LLC, acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Jet Yard, LLC (“Jet Yard”) from the holder thereof. The cash purchase price was $15,000 and there are no contractual provisions, such as an earn-out, which could result in an increase to this price. Jet Yard is registered to operate a repair station under Part 145 of the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration and its principal asset on the acquisition date was a contract with Pinal County, Arizona to lease approximately 48.5 acres of land at the Pinal Air Park in Marana, Arizona. Jet Yard was organized in 2014, entered into the lease in June 2016 and had maintained de minimus operations from formation through the acquisition date. The lease expires in May 2046 with an option to renew for an additional 30-year period (though the lease to a 2.6-acre parcel of the leased premises may be terminated by Pinal County upon 90 days’ notice). The lease provides for an initial annual rent of $27,000, which rental rate escalates based on a schedule in annual increments during the firstseven years of the lease (at which time the annual rental rate would be $152,000), and increases by an additional five percent for each three-year period thereafter. Because the rental expense will be accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, the rental expense in the initial years will exceed the corresponding cash payments. The lease agreement permits Pinal County to terminate the lease if Jet Yard fails to make substantial progress toward the construction of facilities on the leased premises in phases in accordance with a specified timetable, which includes, as the initial phase, the construction of a demolition pad to be completed by March 31, 2017 and, as the final and most significant phase, the construction of an aircraft maintenance hangar large enough to house a Boeing B777-300 by the first quarter of 2021. The construction of the demolition pad required by March 31, 2017 under the lease has not been completed and Jet Yard and Pinal County are in discussions with respect to improvements on the leased premises.

The acquired Jet Yard business is included in the Company’s commercial jet engine segment. The Company has finalized its Jet Yard acquisition accounting.


Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement signed on October 31, 2016, GAS acquired, effective as of October 1, 2016, substantially all of the assets of D&D which was in the business of marketing, selling and providing aviation repair, equipment, parts, and maintenance sales services and products at the Fort Lauderdale airport. The total amount paid at closing in connection with this acquisition was $400,000. Additionally, $100,000 was due within 30 days after closing and an additional $100,000 is payable in equal monthly installments of $16,667 commencing on November 1, 2016. Earn-out payments of $100,000 were payable based on specified performance for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2017. For purposes of purchase accounting, the Company estimated that the above-mentioned earn-out will be paid in full. Therefore, the Company estimated the total purchase consideration at approximately $700,000. The Company allocated the purchase consideration to identifiable tangible and intangible assets. No liabilities were assumed in the acquisition. The estimated fair value of identifiable tangible and intangibles assets was approximately $200,000 and $300,000, respectively. The $200,000 excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets was recorded as goodwill. The basis of the acquired assets will be “stepped up” for income tax purposes. As such, no deferred taxes were recognized in purchase accounting.

The acquired D&D business is operated by GAS and included in the Company’s ground support services segment. The Company has finalized its D&D acquisition accounting. Based on actual revenue earned by D&D through September 30, 2017, the earnout payment with respect to the purchase agreement was $100,000, which amount was paid in October 2017.

On June 7, 2017, the Company’s Space Age Insurance Company subsidiary (“SAIC”) invested $500,000 for a 40% interest in TFS Partners LLC (“TFS Partners”), a single-purpose investment entity organized by SAIC and other investors for the purpose of making an investment in a limited liability company, The Fence Store LLC (“Fence Store LLC”), organized for the purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets of The Fence Store, Inc. (“Fence Store Inc.”). TFS Partners acquired a 60% interest in Fence Store LLC, which has completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Fence Store Inc. Prior to this transaction, Fence Store Inc. operated a business under the tradename “Town and Country Fence” selling and installing residential and commercial fencing in the greater Twin Cities, Minnesota area. Fence Store LLC intends to continue this business. The Company accounts for its investment in TFS Partners using the equity method of accounting.

On December 15, 2017, BCCM, Inc. (“BCCM”), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of Blue Clay Capital Management, LLC (“Blue Clay Capital”), an investment management firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with the transaction, BCCM acquired the assets of, and assumed certain liabilities of, Blue Clay Capital in return for payment to Blue Clay Capital of $1.00, subject to adjustment for Blue Clay Capital’s net working capital as of the closing date. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the transaction are provisional. Gary S. Kohler, a director of the Company, was the sole owner of Blue Clay Capital. In connection with the transaction, (i) BCCM replaced Blue Clay Capital as the managing general partner of certain investment funds managed by Blue Clay Capital (Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I, LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III, LP and Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO, LP); (ii) Mr. Kohler entered into an employment agreement with BCCM to serve as its Chief Investment Officer in return for an annual salary of $50,000 plus variable compensation based on the management and incentive fees to be paid to the subsidiary by certain of these investment funds and eligibility to participate in discretionary annual bonuses; and (iii) David Woodis, President of Blue Clay Capital, entered into an employment agreement with BCCM to serve as its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer in return for an annual salary of $125,000 plus revenue sharing and eligibility to participate in discretionary annual bonuses.

In connection with the Blue Clay Capital acquisition, a Partnership Interest Conversion and General Partner Admittance Agreement (“Conversion Agreement”) was entered into effective December 31, 2017 between Blue Clay Capital, BCCM, BCCM Advisors, LLC (“BCCM Advisors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCCM, and various Blue Clay Capital investment funds. Per the Conversion Agreement, Blue Clay Capital sold to BCCM Advisors, and BCCM Advisors purchased from Blue Clay, the general partnership interests in certain investment funds previously managed by Blue Clay Capital (as specified above) for a purchase price equal to, with respect to each general partnership, of (i) one percent (1%) of the aggregate capital accounts of each fund as valued on December 31, 2017 and (ii) $100,000 (or $10,000 in the case of Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO, LP). Upon acquisition of each of the general partnership interests, BCCM Advisors was admitted as the general partner of each fund. Blue Clay Capital retained the incentive allocations associated with Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I, LP and Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III. BCCM Advisors will receive all future incentive allocations accruing as of January 1, 2018 and thereafter associated with Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP which is the onshore feeder fund to the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd. Management determined that the price paid of $227,000 for the combined general partnership interests approximates the fair value of those interests. The portion of the purchase price paid for the general partnership interest in Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP is allocated as an equity interest in the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund, Ltd.

Additionally, effective December 31, 2017, BCCM Advisors entered into an Investment Management Agreement in which it agreed to manage the investments of the following funds: Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd., Blue Clay Capital Fund Ltd. and Blue Clay Capital Partners LP. In connection with the effective date of the Investment Management Agreement, BCCM Advisors became the Incentive Allocation Shareholder of the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd.

Income Taxes

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President on Friday December 22, 2017. The TCJA includes the reduction in the corporate tax rate from a top rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, changes in business deductions, and many international provisions. The drop in the corporate rate is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. IRC Section 15 indicates that “if any rate of tax imposed…changes, and if the taxable year includes the effective date of the change…, then tentative taxes shall be computed by applying the rate for the period before the effective date of the change, and the rate for the period on and after such date, to the taxable income for the entire taxable year, and the tax for such taxable year shall be the sum of that proportion of each tentative tax which the number of days in each period bears to the number of days in the entire taxable year.” (§15(a)). As the Company is a fiscal year taxpayer, they will receive a partial benefit for the drop in the federal corporate tax rate for their fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The weighted average federal tax rate computed in accordance with IRC Section 15 is 30.79% for the current fiscal year.

Based on the drop in the corporate tax rate to a flat 21%, the Company revalued each of their deferred tax assets and liabilities in the current period using the new corporate tax rate. The net impact from this revaluing resulted in a tax expense recognized in the current period of $119,000.

The TCJA also repealed the corporate alternative minimum tax and made any minimum tax credit carryforwards to the extent not utilized refundable for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, Delphax will be able to receive a refund of its minimum tax credit carryforward of $311,000 beginning in their fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Previously, a valuation allowance was established against the minimum tax credit carryforward. As a result of the TCJA relating to the refundability of the minimum tax credit carryforward, an income tax benefit was recognized by the Company during the current period and a long-term income tax receivable was established.

Income taxes have been provided using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $595,000 in income tax expense at an effective tax rate ("ETR") of 37.45%(1.6)%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The individually largest factorprimary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 30.79%21.0% and the Company’sCompany's effective tax rate for the nine-monththree-month period ended December 31, 2017 wasJune 30, 2021 were the change in valuation allowance relating to the other than temporary impairment of available for sale securities included in the pretax activity in the period. Additionally, the estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U. S. federal statutory rate due to the benefit for the Section 831(b) income exclusion for SAIC, the benefit for the federal domestic production activities deduction, the change in the valuation allowance related to the activity of Delphax, and state income tax expense. As a result of tax reform, the rate was also impacted by the recognition of the minimum tax credit carryforward and the expense relating to the revaluing of the deferred tax asset and liability balances to the new federal statutory rate. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $152,000 in income tax expense which resulted in an effective tax rate of (2.99%). The individually largest factor contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the period ending December 2016 was the recognition of a valuation allowance against Delphax’s pretax activityCompany's subsidiaries in the period. The income tax provision for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016 differs from the federal statutory rate due also in part to the effect of state income taxescorporate and the federal domestic production activities deduction. Additionally, the rate for the period ended December 31, 2016 includesother segment, Delphax Solutions, Inc. and Delphax Technologies, Inc. (collectively known as "Delphax") and other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’sCompany's captive insurance company subsidiary afforded("SAIC") under Section 831(b).

As described in Note 9, effective on November 24, 2015, Air T, Inc. purchased equity831(b), and debt interests in Delphax Technologies, Inc. (“Delphax”) and its subsidiary Delphax Technologies Canada Limited (“Delphax Canada”). With an equity investment level bythe exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.


During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company of approximately 38%, Delphax is required to continue filing a separate United States corporate tax return. Furthermore, Delphax has three foreign subsidiaries locatedrecorded $0.3 million in Canada, France, and the United Kingdom which file tax returns in those jurisdictions. With few exceptions, Delphax is no longer subject to examinations by income tax authorities for tax years before 2012.


Delphax maintains a September 30 fiscal year. As of September 30, 2016, Delphax and its subsidiaries had estimated foreign and domestic tax loss carryforwards of $6.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively. As of that date, they had estimated foreign research and development credit carryforwards of $4.3 million, which are available to offset future income tax. The credits and net operating losses expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2023. Domestic alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $311,000 will be refundable beginning in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. Should there be an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 or any equivalent foreign tax rules, the utilization of the previously mentioned carryforwards may be significantly limited. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings involving Delphax Canada (see Note 9), any remaining tax attributes not utilized during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, including net operating losses and credit carryforwards in Canada will be lost. The tax attributes in Canada that will be lost to the extent not utilized include, but are not limited to, $4.0 million of net operating losses and $4.3 million of foreign credits.  The Company has recorded an outside basis difference in stock of these entities of $2.9 million which is the estimated loss that will be recognized in the United States upon their liquidation. See additional information regarding Delphax Canada in Note 9. The returns for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 have not yet been filed.

The provisions of ASC 740 require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that deferred tax assets will be recovered. In accounting for the Delphax acquisition on November 24, 2015, the Company established a full valuation allowance against Delphax’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $11,661,000. The corresponding valuation allowance at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $11,125,000 and $12,352,000 respectively. The cumulative losses incurred by Delphax in recent years was the primary basis for the Company’s determination that a valuation allowance should be established. As previously noted, the TCJA repealed the corporate alternative minimum tax and made any minimum tax credit carryforwards to the extent not utilized refundable for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, Delphax will be able to receive a refund of its minimum tax credit carryforward of $311,000 beginning in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Previously, a valuation allowance was established against the minimum tax credit carryforward. As a result of the TCJA relating to the refundability of the minimum tax credit carryforward, an income tax benefit was recognized byat an ETR of 23.9%. The primary factors contributing to the Company duringdifference between the currentfederal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 were the change in valuation allowance related to Delphax, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b) and a long-term incomethe exclusion from the tax receivable was established.

Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Air T, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, shares issuable under stock options were considered potential common shares and were included in the weighted average common shares unless they were anti-dilutive. Because there was a net loss attributable to Air T stockholders for the three-months ended December 31, 2017 and the nine-months ended December 31, 2016, the effect of options was excluded for computing earnings per share because the effect was anti-dilutive.

The fair value of the interest rate swap as of December 31, 2017 was a liability of $199,000. The interest rate swap was not designated as a hedging instrument.

Prior to December 21, 2017, the Company had a senior secured revolving credit facility of $25.0 million with BB&T with a maturity date of April 1, 2019 (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”). Initially, borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility bore interest (payable monthly) at an annual rate of one-month LIBOR plus an incremental amount ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% based on a consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrued with respect to the unused amount of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.15%. The Company included the commitment fee expense within the interest expense and other line item of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Amounts applied to repay borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility could be reborrowed, subject to the terms of the facility.

On May 2, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the agreement governing the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to establish a separate $2.4 million term loan facility under that agreement. Each of the Company and such subsidiaries were obligors with respect to the term loan, which matured on May 1, 2018, with equal $200,000 installments of principal due monthly, commencing June 1, 2017. Interest on the term loan was payable monthly at a per annum rate equal to 25 basis points above the interest rate applicable to the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the term loan were used to fund the acquisition of the AirCo business. The term loan was secured by the existing collateral securing borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, including such acquired assets.

Effective as of June 28, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to amend the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to provide that the interest rates on the revolving loans and the above-referenced term loan under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility were each increased by an additional 0.25% per annum from the date of the amendment until the second business day after delivery of a compliance certificate for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 or any subsequent fiscal quarter end showing compliance with the financial covenants required under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, other than with respect to covenants as to which compliance had been waived. The compliance certificate for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was so delivered on October 26, 2017 and accordingly, the additional 0.25% per annum additional interest ceased to accrue commencing on October 26, 2017.

Revisions to the terms of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and waiver of compliance with certain covenants by the lender occurred pursuant to a number of amendments to the facility.

On October 31, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries, MAC, GGS, CSA, GAS, ATGL, Jet Yard and Stratus Aero Partners, LLC, entered into a loan agreement dated as of October 31, 2016, (the “Construction Loan Agreement”) with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility lender to borrow up to $1,480,000 to finance the acquisition and development of the Company’s new corporate headquarters facility located in Denver, North Carolina. Under the Construction Loan Agreement, the Company was permitted to make monthly drawings to fund construction costs until October 2017. Borrowings under the Construction Loan Agreement bore interest at the same rate charged under the Revolving Credit Facility. Monthly interest payments began in November 2016. Monthly principal payments (based on a 25-year amortization schedule) commenced in November 2017, with the final payment of the remaining principal balance due in October 2026. Borrowings under the Construction Loan Agreement were secured by a mortgage on the new headquarters facility and a collateral assignment of the Company’s rights in life insurance policies with respect to certain former executives, as well as the same collateral securing borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Construction Loan included the same covenants as in the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.

All of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility including the Construction Loan Agreement referenced above were repaid in full with proceeds of the MBT Credit Agreement, and the Prior Revolving Credit Facility was terminated effective as of December 21, 2017.

On May 5, 2017, Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), a partially owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Business Loan Agreement with Old National Bank (“ONB Loan Agreement”).

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810 - Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 2, 2015 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") among the Company, Delphax Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Delphax Technologies Canada Limited, on November 24, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), the Company purchased (i) at face value a $2,500,000 principal amount Five-Year Senior Subordinated Promissory Note (the "Senior Subordinated Note") issued by Delphax Canada for a combination of cash and the surrender of outstanding principal of $500,000 and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, and cancellation of, a 90-Day Senior Subordinated Note purchased at face valueincurred by the Company from Delphax Canadaduring the 24-week period beginning on October 2, 2015 pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) for $1,050,000April 13, 2020, calculated in cash a total of 43,000 shares of Delphax's Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and a Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") to acquire an additional 95,600 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $33.4728 per share (subject to adjustment for specified dilutive events).

Principal under the Senior Subordinated Note is due on October 24, 2020 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.5%. Interest is to be paid in kind until, in the absence of specified events, November 24, 2017. Thereafter, interest is to be paid in cash. Interest in kind is to be paid monthly, while interest payable in cash is to be paid quarterly. The Senior Subordinated Note is guaranteed by Delphax and is secured by security interests granted by Delphax and Delphax Canada in their respective inventories, equipment, accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts, contract rights and other specified property, as well as a pledge by Delphax of the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiaries, including Delphax Canada. Pursuant to the terms of a subordination agreement (the "Subordination Agreement") entered into on October 2, 2015 by Delphax, Delphax Canada, the Company and the senior lender (the "Senior Lender") that then provided a revolving credit facility under an agreementaccordance with Delphax and Delphax Canada (the "Delphax Senior Credit Agreement"), the Company's rights with respect to payment under and enforcement of the Senior Subordinated Note, and enforcement of its security interests were subordinated to the rights of the Senior Lender under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock of Delphax, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, and has no liquidation preference over shares of common stock of Delphax. No dividends are required to be paid with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, except that ratable dividends (on an as-converted basis) are to be paid in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax. Based on the number of shares of Delphax common stock outstanding and reserved for issuance under Delphax's employee stock option plans at the Closing Date, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock purchased by the Company represent approximately 38% of the shares of Delphax common stock that would be outstanding assuming conversion of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Company.


Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock,CARES Act. The PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of one percent (1%). Once the forgiveness determination is made, the Company will be required to make repayments plus interest on any unforgiven amount. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has used the funds received from the PPP loan on eligible expenses as outlined in the CARES Act.

On June 10, 2019, the Company continues to holdcompleted a specified number of the Series B Preferred Stock and interests in the Warrant sufficient to permit it to acquire up to 50% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchasable under the Warrant (or holds shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired in connectiontransaction with the exercise of the Warrant equal to 50% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchasable under the Warrant), then

The Company issued and replacement) with respect to three-sevenths of the board of directors of Delphax, and after June 1, 2016 the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, would be entitled to elect (and to exercise rights of removal and replacement of) with respect to four-sevenths of the members of the board of directors of Delphax; and

● without the written consent or waiver of the Company, Delphax may not enter into specified corporate transactions.

Pursuant to the provision described above, beginning on November 24, 2015, three designees of the Company were elected to the board of directors of Delphax, which had a total of seven members following their election. 

The Warrant expires on November 24, 2021. In the event that Delphax were to declare a cash dividend on its common stock, the Warrant provides that the holder of the Warrant would participate in the dividend as if the Warrant had been exercised in full and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon exercise had been fully converted into Delphax common stock. The Warrant provides that, prior to any exercise of the Warrant, the holder of the Warrant must first make a good faith written tender offerdistributed to existing holderscommon stockholders an aggregate of Delphax common stock1.6 million trust preferred capital security ("TruPs") shares (aggregate $4.0 million stated value) and an aggregate of 8.4 million warrants ("Warrants") (representing warrants to purchase an aggregate amount$21.0 million in stated value of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock that would be purchased upon such exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant requires that the per share purchase price to be offered in such tender offer would be equal to the then-current exercise price of the Warrant divided by the then-current conversion rate of the Series B Preferred Stock. To the extent that shares of common stock are purchased by the holder in the tender offer, the amount of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchasable under the Warrant held by such holder is to be ratably reduced. The Warrant is to provide that it may be exercised for cash, by surrender of principal and interest under the Senior Subordinated Note equal to 0.95 times the aggregate exercise price or by surrender of a portion of the Warrant having a value equal to the aggregate exercise price based on the difference between the Warrant exercise price per share and an average market value, measured over a 20-trading day period, of Delphax common stock that would be acquired upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred Stock.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluated whether Delphax was a VIE as of November 24, 2015. Based principally on the fact that the Company granted Delphax subordinated financial support, the Company determined that Delphax was a VIE on that date. Therefore, it was necessary for the Company to assess whether it held any “variable interests”, as defined in ASC 810, in Delphax. The Company concluded that its investments in Delphax’s equity and debt, and its investment in the Warrant, each constituted a variable interest. Based on its determination that it held variable interests in a VIE, the Company was required to assess whether it was Delphax’s “primary beneficiary”, as defined in ASC 810.

After considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded that it became the primary beneficiary of Delphax on November 24, 2015. While various factors informed the Company’s determination, the Company assigned considerable weight to both 1) the shortness of time until June 1, 2016 when the Company would become entitled to elect four-sevenths of the members of the board of directors of Delphax and 2) the anticipated financial significance of Delphax’s activities in the periods subsequent to June 1, 2016. Since the Company became Delphax’s primary beneficiary on November 24, 2015, the Company consolidated Delphax in its consolidated financial statements beginning on that date.

On January 6, 2017, the Company notified Delphax and Delphax Canada of certain “Events of Default” (as defined under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement) existing under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that the Company was reserving all rights to exercise remedies under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that no delay in exercising any such remedy is to be construed as a waiver of any of its remedies. Also, on January 6, 2017, the Company and Delphax Canada entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement dated as of January 6, 2017, which amended the Senior Subordinated Note to increase the default rate of interest from an annual rate of 10.5% to an annual rate of 18%, to be in effect until all amounts under the Senior Subordinated Note are paid in full, and which provides that so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note) occurs under the Senior Subordinated Note, other than Events of Default that existed as of January 6, 2017, the Company agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies under the Senior Subordinated Note until May 31, 2017 and further provided for the payment by Delphax Canada to the Company of a forbearance fee equal to approximately $141,000. Notwithstanding the existence of events of default, during the firstsix calendar months of 2017, the Company permitted additional borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement to, among other things, fund a final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for its legacy printing systems, which production run was primarily completed over that period. Delphax Canada was Delphax's sole manufacturing subsidiary.

$4.4 million.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, Delphax was informed by its largest customer that the customer had decided to accelerate its plans for removing Delphax legacy printing systems from production and that Delphax should, as a consequence, expect the future volume of legacy product orders from the customer to decline markedly from prior forecasts. Furthermore, the future timeframe over which orders could be expected from this customer was being sharply curtailed. In addition to this specific customer communication, Delphax also experienced a broad-based decline in legacy product customer demand during the first quarter. Sales of Delphax’s new élan printer system also had not materialized to expectations.

The adverse business developments during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the significantly deteriorated outlook for future orders of legacy and élan product caused the Company to reevaluate the recoverability of Delphax’s assets, both tangible and intangible. Based on this reevaluation, which involved material estimation and subjectivity (including with respect to the recovery on assets in an operating liquidation), the Company concluded that a significant increase to inventory reserves was necessary. In addition, the Company concluded that Delphax related intangible assets, both amortizable assets and goodwill, should be fully impaired. The Company also recorded a partial impairment of Delphax related long-lived tangible assets. Furthermore, there was an assessment regarding whether, at June 30, 2016, future severance actions under existing Delphax employee benefit plans were both probable and estimable. This assessment led to the Company establishing an estimated accrual for future severance actions. The effects of these various adjustments, which aggregated to approximately $5,610,000, were reflected in the operating results of Delphax for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The Company concluded that Delphax related intangible assets, both amortizable assets and goodwill, should be fully impaired. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $375,000 in connection with its investment in Delphax. The Company estimated a subsequent impairment of this goodwill during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 of $100,000 and an additional impairment of $275,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. These impairment losses are reflectedamount outstanding on the consolidated statement of income (loss) within the “depreciation, amortization and impairment” line item.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized an impairment charge which resulted in the remaining net book value of Delphax intangible2021.

Total tangible long-lived assets, being fully written off. The Company estimated and recorded a tradename and patent impairment charge related to Delphax in the amount of approximately $1,385,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. An impairment charge in the amount of $50,000 was recorded during the fiscal year 2016. These impairment losses are reflected on the consolidated statement of income (loss) within the “depreciation, amortization and impairment” line item.

The above described adverse business developments drove significant negative operating results and led to severe liquidity constraints for Delphax. In addition to other measures intended to respond to developments, Delphax engaged an outside advisory firm to assist with operations, cost reductions and expense rationalization, and to provide an objective assessment and recommendations regarding Delphax’s business outlook and alternative courses of action. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a number of Delphax employees were either severed or furloughed. For most of fiscal year 2017, Delphax’s operations were maintained at a significantly curtailed level.

In light of continuing events of default under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and the conclusion of final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for Delphax’s legacy printing systems, on July 13, 2017, the Company delivered a demand for payment and Notice of Intention to Enforce Security to Delphax Canada. On August 10, 2017, the Company foreclosed on all personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada. The Company foreclosed as a secured creditor with respect to amounts owed to it by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. The Company provided notice of its intent to foreclose to Delphax Canada and its secured creditors and shareholder on July 26, 2017. The outstanding amount owed to the Company by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2017 was approximately $1,510,000. The Company also submitted an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency (the "Ontario Court") seeking that Delphax Canada be adjudged bankrupt. On August 8, 2017, the Ontario Court issued an order adjudging Delphax Canada to be bankrupt. The recipients of the foreclosure notice did not object to the foreclosure or redeem. As a result, the foreclosure was completed on August 10, 2017, and the Company accepted the personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada in satisfaction of the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.


With its being adjudged bankrupt on August 8, 2017, Delphax Canada ceased to have capacity to deal with its property. The property of Delphax Canada vested in the trustee in bankruptcy of Delphax Canada subject to the rights of secured creditors. The Company’s rights under Delphax Senior Credit Agreement permitted it to foreclose upon the personal property and rights of undertakings of Delphax Canada. Since the Company foreclosed on Delphax Canada’s assets within very close time proximity to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and because the bankruptcy and foreclosure were undertaken in contemplation of one another, the Company treated these as one single financial reporting event. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered whether Delphax Canada was still a business post-bankruptcy and foreclosure of the assets by the Company and concluded that Delphax Canada no longer constituted a business as it is defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, derecognition of Delphax Canada’s liabilities will occur when Delphax Canada is legally released as the primary obligor with respect to the liabilities in the bankruptcy proceedings. As of December 31, 2017, the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoing in accordance with Canadian law and, therefore, Delphax Canada was still the primary obligor of its liabilities.

The intercompany balances under the Delphax Senior Subordinated Note as of December 31, 2017 are eliminated in the presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The effect of interest expense arising under the Senior Subordinated Note and, from January 6, 2017 to August 10, 2017, under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement, and other intercompany transactions, are reflected in the attribution of Delphax net income or loss to non-controlling interests because Delphax is a variable interest entity.

Delphax’s revenues and expenses are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning November 24, 2015 through December 31, 2017. Revenues and expenses prior to the date of initial consolidation were excluded. We have determined that the attribution of Delphax net income or loss should be based on consideration of all of Air T’s investments in Delphax and Delphax Canada. The Warrant provides that in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax, the holder of the Warrant is entitled to participate in such dividends on a ratable basis as if the Warrant had been fully exercised and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon such exercise had been converted into shares of Delphax common stock. This provision would have entitled Air T, Inc. to approximately 67% of any Delphax dividends paid, with the remaining 33% paid to the non-controlling interests. We concluded that this was a substantive distribution right which should be considered in the attribution of Delphax net income or loss to non-controlling interests. We furthermore concluded that our investment in the debt of Delphax should be considered in attribution. Specifically, Delphax’s net losses are attributed first to our Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant investments and to the non-controlling interest (67%/33%) until such amounts are reduced to zero. Additional losses are then fully attributed to our debt investments until they too are reduced to zero. This sequencing reflects the relative priority of debt to equity. Any further losses are then attributed to Air T and the non-controlling interests based on the initial 67%/33% share. Delphax net income is attributed using a backwards-tracing approach with respect to previous losses.

As a result of the application of the above-described attribution methodology, for the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the attribution of Delphax net income to non-controlling interests was 3.19% and for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the attribution of Delphax net loss to non-controlling interests was 33%.


The following table sets forth the revenue and expenses of Delphax, prior to intercompany eliminations, that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities and Other Entities

As discussed in Note 2, BCCM Advisors holds equity interests in certain investment funds as of December 31, 2017. The Company determined that the equity interest it holds as the general partner in the following funds are variable interests based on the applicable GAAP guidance: Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III LP and Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO LP. However, the Company further determined that these funds should not be consolidated as BCCM Advisors is not the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities. The Company determined that its equity interest in the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd. is not a variable interest and should not be consolidated based on the applicable GAAP guidance. The Company’s total investment within these investment funds at December 31, 2017 is valued at $227,000, consistent with the purchase price of the general partnership and equity interests disclosed in Note 2.

The elimination of intercompany revenues is primarily related to the sale of an aircraft from Contingencies

Contrail Aviation to AirCo during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 along with the premiums paid to SAIC. The elimination of intercompany operating income for such period reflects the margins on the sales of those assets.

12.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that these matters, if adversely decided, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

In July 2016, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation agreed to pay as contingent additional deferred consideration up to a maximum of $1,500,000 per year and $3,000,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Earnout Payments” and each, an “Earnout Payment”), calculated as follows:

(i) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in any Earnout Period (as defined below) less than $1,500,000,no Earnout Payment will be payable with respect to such Earnout Period;

(ii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $1,500,000, but less than $2,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the EBITDA generated with respect to such Earnout Period minus $1,500,000, and (y) two (2);

(iii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $2,000,000, but less than $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,000,000;

(iv) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,500,000; and

(v) if, following the fifth Earnout Period, Contrail Aviation has generated EBITDA equal to or in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate during all Earnout Periods, but the Seller has received or is owed less than $3,000,000 in aggregate Earnout Payments pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above, Contrail Aviation will make an additional Earnout Payment to the Seller in an amount equal to the difference between $3,000,000 and the aggregate Earnout Payments already received or payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above.

As used in the Asset Purchase Agreement, “Earnout Period” means each of the firstfive twelve-full-calendar-month periods following the closing of the acquisition. The Company has estimated its liability with respect to the Earnout Payment of $2,900,000, which amount was included in the “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. As a result of the EBITDA of Contrail Aviation being approximately $2.1 million for the first Earnout Period, the Earnout Payment with respect to that Earnout Period is $1,000,000, which amount was paid in October 2017. The remaining liability of $1,900,000 is included in the “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017.

On the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation and the Seller entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating“Contrail Operating Agreement”) in connection with the acquisition of Contrail Aviation in 1996 providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail Aviation and including put and call options with the Seller of Contrail (“Contrail Put/Call Option”) permitting, at any time after. The Contrail Put/Call Option permits the fifth anniversary of the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation at its election to purchase from the Seller and permitting the Seller at its election to require Contrail Aviation to purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’sSeller’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation at a pricecommencing on the fifth anniversary of the acquisition, which was on July 18, 2021. The Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Contrail Aviation ("Contrail RNCI") between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has elected to be agreed upon, or failing such an agreement to be determined pursuant to third-party appraisals in a process specifiedrecognize changes in the Operating Agreement.

redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest is $7.0 million as of June 30, 2021. The change in the redemption value compared to March 31, 2021 is an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was driven by $0.3 million of contributions made from the non-controlling interest and $0.2 million of the net change in fair value, partially offset by $0.1 million of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

As discussed in Note 8, Contrail Aviation entered intoof the Loan Agreement with Old National Bank on May 5, 2017. Contrail Aviation’s obligations underdate of this filing, neither the Loan Agreement are guaranteed bySeller nor Air T has indicated the intent to exercise the put and call options. If either side were to exercise the option, the Company with such guaranty limited in amount to a maximum of $1,600,000 plus interest on such amount atanticipates that the rate of interest in effect underprice would approximate the Loan Agreement, plus costs of collection.


A newly organized subsidiary of Air T leases 12,206 square feet of space in a building located in Mississauga, Ontario. The lease commenced on August 1, 2017 and terminates on July 31, 2020. Annual rent under the lease escalates annually, with annual rent of approximately $94,600 (CDN) for the first year and approximately $97,000 (CDN) in the third year. The subsidiary’s obligations under the lease have been guaranteed by Air T. The lease of production facilities in Mississauga, Ontario by Delphax Canada has been terminated effective upon removalfair value of the property foreclosed upon by Air T.

Contrail RNCI, as determined on the transaction date. The Company currently expects that none of Delphax Canada’s unsecured creditors will receiveit would fund any required payment in connection with the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. This is because the Company’s priority claims under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement permitted it to foreclose upon all of Delphax Canada’s personal property and rights of undertakings. Unsecured creditors of Delphax Canada may attempt to advance claims againstfrom cash provided by operations.

On May 5, 2021, the Company whether asformed a new aircraft asset management business called CAM, and a new aircraft capital joint venture called CJVII. The new venture will focus on acquiring commercial aircraft and jet engines for leasing, trading and disassembly. CJVII will target investments in current generation narrow-body aircraft and engines, building on Contrail Aviation’s origination and asset management expertise. CAM will serve two separate and distinct functions: 1) to direct claims or alleging successor liability in lightthe sourcing, acquisition and management of the foreclosure. The Company does not believe that any such claims will be successfully advancedaircraft assets owned by CJVII, and therefore expects no significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results2) to directly invest into CJVII alongside other institutional investment partners. CAM has an initial commitment to CJVII of operations as a resultapproximately $53 million, which is comprised of such possible claims.

The Company has various operating lease commitments for office equipment and its office and maintenance facilities.

In the past two years, we have organized or acquired businesses operating in three other segments. In October 2015, we formed a wholly-owned equipment leasing subsidiary, Air T Global Leasing, LLC (“ATGL”), which comprises our leasing segment. In November 2015 we acquired debt and equity interests in Delphax Technologies, Inc. (“Delphax”), a printing equipment manufacturer and maintenance provider, which comprises our printing equipment and maintenance segment. In July 2016, our majority owned subsidiary, Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), acquired the principal assets of a business based in Verona, Wisconsin engaged in acquiring surplus commercial jetCommercial aircraft, engines and componentsparts, which manages and supplyingleases aviation assets; supplies surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components.

Results of Operations

Outlook

COVID-19 and its impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. Each of our businesses implemented measures to attempt to limit the impact of COVID-19 but we still experienced a substantial number of disruptions, and we experienced and continue to experience a reduction in demand for commercial aircraft, jet engines and parts compared to historical periods. Many of our businesses may continue to generate reduced operating cash flow and may operate at a loss during at least the first half of fiscal 2022. We expect that the impact of COVID-19 will continue to some extent. The fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions and our businesses in particular, and, as a result, present material uncertainty and risk with respect to us and our results of operations.

MAC and CSA are two of seven companies inJune 30, 2021 increased by $2.7 million (17%) compared to the U.S. that have North American feeder airlines under contract with FedEx. With a relationship with FedEx spanning over 35 years, MAC and CSA operate and maintain Cessna Caravan, ATR-42 and ATR-72 aircraft that fly daily small-package cargo routes throughout the eastern United States, upper Midwest and the Caribbean. MAC and CSA’s revenues are derived principally pursuant to “dry-lease” service contracts with FedEx.


On June 1, 2015, MAC and CSA entered into new dry-lease agreements with FedEx which together cover allfirst quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally attributable to higher pass-through revenue aircraft operated by MAC and CSA and replaced all prior dry-lease service contracts. These dry-lease agreements provide for the lease from FedEx as a result

23





of specified aircraft by MAC and CSA in return for the payment of monthly rent with respect to each aircraft leased, which monthly rent was increased frombusiness activity versus the prior dry-lease service contracts to reflect an estimateyear quarter as well as higher maintenance revenue from customers outside of a fair market rental rate. These dry-lease agreements provide that FedEx determines the type of aircraftFedEx.
The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $8.2 million and schedule of routes to be flown by MAC and CSA, with all other operational decisions made by MAC and CSA, respectively. The current dry-lease agreements provide for the reimbursement by FedEx of MAC and CSA’s costs, without mark up, incurred in connection with the operation of the leased aircraft for the following: fuel, landing fees, third-party maintenance, parts and certain other direct operating costs. Unlike prior dry-lease contracts, under the current dry-lease agreements, certain operational costs incurred by MAC and CSA in operating the aircraft under the dry-lease agreements are not reimbursed by FedEx at cost, and such operational costs are borne solely by MAC and CSA. Under the dry-lease agreements, MAC and CSA are required to perform maintenance of the leased aircraft in return for a maintenance fee based upon an hourly maintenance labor rate, which has been increased from the rate in place under the prior dry-lease service contracts. Under prior dry-lease service contracts, the hourly maintenance labor rate had not been adjusted since 2008. The dry-lease agreements provide for the payment by FedEx to MAC and CSA of a monthly administrative fee based on the number and type of aircraft leased and routes operated. The amount of the monthly administrative fee under the current dry-lease agreements is greater than under the prior dry-lease service contracts with FedEx, in part to reflect the greater monthly lease payment per aircraft and that certain operational costs are borne by MAC and CSA and not reimbursed. The amount of the administrative fee is subject to adjustment based on the number of aircraft operated, routes flown and whether aircraft are considered to be soft-parked. Since MAC and CSA entered into the current dry-lease agreements in 2015, they have periodically entered into amendments$15.8 million to the agreements with FedEx that have adjusted the administrative fees payable under these agreements. These adjustments, which have generally been made on an annual basis, have resulted in annual period-to-period volatility in MAC and CSA’s profitability. MAC and CSA have entered into such an amendment effective as of June 1, 2017 which positively affected MAC and CSA’s profitability for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016.

On June 1, 2016, the current dry-lease agreements were amended to extend the expiration date to May 31, 2020. The dry-lease agreements may be terminated by FedEx or MAC and CSA, respectively, at any time upon 90 days’ written notice and FedEx may at any time terminate the lease of any particular aircraft thereunder upon 10 days’ written notice. In addition, each of the dry-lease agreements provides that FedEx may terminate the agreement upon written notice if 60% or more of MAC or CSA’s revenue (excludingCompany’s revenues arising from reimbursement payments under the dry-lease agreement) is derived from the services performed by it pursuant to the respective dry-lease agreement, FedEx becomes MAC or CSA’s only customer, or MAC or CSA employs fewer than six employees. As of the date of this report, FedEx would have been permitted to terminate each of the dry-lease agreements under this provision. The Company believes that the short-term nature of its agreements with FedEx is standard within the airfreight contract delivery service industry, where performance is measured on a daily basis. FedEx has been a customer of the Company since 1980. Loss of the FedEx contracts would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Pass-through costs under the dry-lease agreements with FedEx totaled $5,548,000 and $5,663,000 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and 2016,2020 respectively, representing a $7.6 million (48%) decrease in the current quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower volume of commercial truck sales and $16,334,000 and $16,474,000 for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017, MAC and CSA had an aggregate of 81 aircraft under its dry-lease agreements with FedEx.  Included within the 81 aircraft, two Cessna Caravan aircrafts are considered soft-parked. Soft-parked aircraft remain covered under our agreements with FedEx although at a reduced administrative feeultimate deicers this quarter compared to aircraft that are in operation.  MAC and CSA continueprior year comparable quarter. At June 30, 2021, the ground equipment sales segment’s order backlog was $7.1 million compared to perform maintenance on soft-parked aircraft, but they are not crewed and do not operate on scheduled routes.

$48.7 million at June 30, 2020. GGS manufactures, sells and services aircraft deicers and other specialized equipment on a worldwide basis. GGS manufactures five basic models of mobile deicing equipment with capacities ranging from 700 to 2,800 gallons. GGS also offers fixed-pedestal-mounted deicers. Each model can be customized as requested by the customer, including single operator configuration, fire suppressant equipment, open basket or enclosed cab design, a patented forced-air deicing nozzle and on-board glycol blending system to substantially reduce glycol usage, color and style of the exterior finish. GGS also manufactures five models of scissor-lift equipment, for catering, cabin service and maintenance service of aircraft, and has developed a line of decontamination equipment, flight-line tow tractors, glycol recovery vehicles and other special purpose mobile equipment. GGS competes primarily on the basis of the quality, performance and reliability of its products, prompt delivery, customer service and price.

In July 2009, GGS was awardedhad a contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF, which expired in July 2014. On May 15, 2014, GGS was awarded a new contract to continue supplying deicing trucks to the USAF. The initial contract award was for two years through July 13, 2016 with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the USAF, the first two of which were exercised, extending the contract term to July 13, 2018.


In September 2010, GGS was awarded a contract to supply flight-line tow tractors to the USAF. The contract award was for one year commencing September 28, 2010 with four additional one-year extension options exercisable by the USAF. All option periods under the contract were exercised and the contract expired in September 2015, though it continues to govern orders placed under the contract prior to its expiration. Sale of flight-line tow tractors under this contract have been at very low margins. This contract was completed in March 2017, and GGS had no revenues for sales of flight-line tow tractors in the nine months ended December 31, 2017, compared to sales of approximately $2,370,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Because the USAF is not obligated to purchase a set or minimum number of units under these contracts, the value of these contracts, as well as the number of units to be delivered, depends upon the USAF’s requirements and available funding.

GGS contributed approximately $34,377,000 and $20,743,000 to the Company’s revenues, net of intercompany eliminations, for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $13,634,000 (66%).

At December 31, 2017, GGS’s order backlog was $17.9 million compared to $20.4 million at September 30, 2017 and $11.2 million at December 31, 2016.

GAS provides aircraft ground support equipment, fleet, and facility maintenance services. At December 31, 2017, GAS was providing ground support equipment, fleet, and facility maintenance services to more than 114 customers at 84 North American airports. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, GAS entered into new agreements with its principal customer, which replaced certain fixed-price agreements covering certain locations that had been unprofitable. In addition, in December 2016, GAS was awarded a five-year contract to provide a major airline customer with ground support equipment services at 28 locations. In the contract award, which was part of a periodic request-for-bid process, GAS retained 21 of its 22 incumbent locations with the customer covered by the RFP process and added seven new locations.

On October 31, 2016, GAS acquired, effective as of October 1, 2016, substantially all of the assets of D&D GSE Support, Inc. (“D&D”United States Air Force ("USAF"), which was in the business of marketing, selling and providing aviation repair, equipment, parts, and maintenance sales services and products at the Fort Lauderdale airport. The total amount paid at closing in connection with this acquisition was $400,000, with an additional $100,000 paid 30 days after closing and an additional $100,000 payable in equal monthly installments of $16,667 commencing on November 1, 2016. Earn-out payments of up to $100,000 were also be payable based on specified performance for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2017. Based on actual revenue earned by D&D through September 30, 2017, the earn-out payment under the purchase agreement was $100,000, which was paid in October 2017.

GAS contributed approximately $26,558,000 and $21,418,000 to the Company’s revenues for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $5,140,000 (24%).

As described in Note 9 of the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), we determined that for accounting purposes we had obtained control over Delphax in conjunction with the acquisition of the equity and debt interests on November 24, 2015, and we have consolidated Delphax in Air T’s consolidated financial statements beginning on November 24, 2015. Delphax’s business has included the design, manufacture and sale of advanced digital print production equipment (including high-speed, high-volume cut-sheet and continuous roll-fed printers), maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable items for these systems. The equipment, spare parts, supplies and consumable items have been manufactured, and maintenance and services have been provided by Delphax Canada and such products and services have been sold through Delphax, Delphax Canada and Delphax subsidiaries located in Canada, the United Kingdom and France. A significant portion of Delphax’s net sales has historically been related to service and support provided after the sale, including the sale of consumable items for installed printing systems. Delphax’s legacy consumables production business had been expected to generate cash flow while Delphax rolled-out its next generation élan commercial inkjet printer.

As described in Note 9 of the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), adverse business developments at Delphax during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the significantly deteriorated outlook for future orders of Delphax legacy and élan product caused the Company to reevaluate the recoverability of Delphax’s assets, both tangible and intangible. Based on this reevaluation, the Company concluded that a significant increase to inventory reserves was necessary. In addition, the Company concluded that Delphax related intangible assets, both amortizable assets and goodwill, should be fully impaired. The Company also recorded a partial impairment of Delphax related long-lived tangible assets. Furthermore, there was an assessment regarding whether, at June 30, 2016, future severance actions under existing Delphax employee benefit plans were both probable and estimable. This assessment led to the Company establishing an estimated accrual for future severance actions. The effects of these various adjustments, which aggregated to approximately $5,610,000, were reflected in the operating results of Delphax for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.


Intangible assets of Delphax had a net book value of approximately $1.4 million as of March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized an impairment charge which resulted in the remaining net book value of Delphax intangible assets being fully written off.

The printing equipment and maintenance segment contributed approximately $5,340,000 and $6,942,000 to the Company’s revenues for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,602,000 (23%).

On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired all rights, and assumed all obligations, of a third-party lender under a senior credit agreement (the “Delphax Senior Credit Agreement”) with Delphax and Delphax Canada providing for a $7.0 million revolving senior secured credit facility, subject to a borrowing base of North American accounts receivable and inventory, including obligations, if any, to fund future borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. In connection with this transaction, the Company, Delphax and Delphax Canada entered into an amendment to the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement to, among other things, reduce the maximum amount of borrowings permitted to be outstanding under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement from $7.0 million to $2.5 million and to revise the borrowing base to include in the borrowing base 100% of purchase orders from customers for products up to $500,000. On January 6, 2017, the Company notified Delphax and Delphax Canada of certain “Events of Default” (as defined under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement) existing under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding the existence of events of default under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement, during the first six calendar months of 2017, the Company permitted additional borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement to, among other things, fund a final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for Delphax’s legacy printing systems, which production run was primarily completed over the first six months of calendar 2017.

In light of continuing events of default under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and the conclusion of final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for Delphax’s legacy printing systems,expired on July 13, 2017,2020. GGS has submitted its bid for contract renewal. As of June 30, 2021, the Company delivered a demand for payment and Notice of Intention to Enforce Security to Delphax Canada. On August 10, 2017, the Company foreclosed on all personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada. The Company foreclosed as a secured creditor with respect to amounts owed to it by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. The Company provided notice of its intent to foreclose to Delphax Canada and its secured creditors and shareholder on July 26, 2017. The outstanding amount owedUSAF has not yet responded to the Company by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2017 was approximately $1,510,000. The Company also submitted an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency (the "Ontario Court") seeking that Delphax Canada be adjudged bankrupt. On August 8, 2017, the Ontario Court issued an order adjudging Delphax Canada to be bankrupt. The recipients of the foreclosure notice did not object to the foreclosure or redeem. As a result, the foreclosure was completed on August 10, 2017, and the Company accepted the personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada in satisfaction of the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.

With its being adjudged bankrupt on August 8, 2017, Delphax Canada ceased to have capacity to deal with its property. The property of Delphax Canada vested in the trustee in bankruptcy of Delphax Canada subject to the rights of secured creditors. The Company’s rights under Delphax Senior Credit Agreement permitted it to foreclose upon the personal property and rights of undertakings of Delphax Canada. Since the Company foreclosed on Delphax Canada’s assets within very close time proximity to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and because the bankruptcy and foreclosure were undertaken in contemplation of one another, the Company treated these as a single financial reporting event. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered whether Delphax Canada was still a business post-bankruptcy and foreclosure of the assets by the Company and concluded that Delphax Canada no longer constituted a business as it is defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, derecognition of Delphax Canada’s liabilities will occur when Delphax Canada is legally released as the primary obligor with respect to the liabilities in the bankruptcy proceedings. As of December 31, 2017, the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoing in accordance with Canadian law and, therefore, Delphax Canada was still the primary obligor of its liabilities.

Air T has contributed certain of the assets acquired in foreclosure to a newly formed subsidiary, Delphax Solutions, Inc. (“Delphax Solutions”), which has contracted with Delphax to supply legacy parts and consumables, as well as to serve as a fulfilment provider to Delphax for logistics and sales order processing. In addition, Delphax Solutions intends to pursue market success for the élan printer system, as Delphax is no longer actively selling its product lines. Delphax Solutions has entered into an agreement with Delphax for a license for intellectual property and rights to the élan printing system and technologies in return for royalties based on sales. Delphax Solutions intends pursue sales of the élan printing system and related product lines both directly and through qualified resellers and agents.

We organized ATGL on October 6, 2015. ATGL provides funding for equipment leasing transactions, which may include transactions for the leasing of equipment manufactured by GGS and Delphax and transactions initiated by third parties unrelated to equipment manufactured by us. On April 4, 2016, ATGL purchased two élan™ 500 printers from Delphax for $650,000 for lease to a third party. One of those acquired printers was subject to an existing lease to a third party which has been assigned to ATGL.

On July 18, 2016, Contrail Aviation, a subsidiary of the Company, completed the purchase of substantially all of the business assets of Contrail Aviation Support, Inc. (the “Contrail Seller”). Prior to the asset sale, the Contrail Seller, based in Verona, Wisconsin, engaged in the business of acquiring surplus commercial jet engines or components and supplying surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components. The acquisition consideration paid to the Contrail Seller included equity membership units in Contrail Aviation representing 21% of the total equity membership units in Contrail Aviation. As a result, the Company owns equity membership units in Contrail Aviation representing the remaining 79% of the total equity membership units in Contrail Aviation. In addition, Contrail Aviation has agreed to pay as additional deferred consideration to the Contrail Seller up to a maximum of $1.5 million per year and $3.0 million in the aggregate based on Contrail Aviation’s EBITDA (as defined in the purchase agreement) measured during periods over the five years following the acquisition. Contrail Aviation and the Contrail Seller also entered into put and call options permitting, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the asset sale closing date, Contrail Aviation at its election to purchase from Contrail Seller, and permitting Contrail Seller at its election to require Contrail Aviation to purchase from Contrail Seller, all of Contrail Seller’s equity membership interests Contrail Aviation at price to be agreed upon, or failing such an agreement to be determined pursuant to third-party appraisals in a specified process.

On October 3, 2016, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, Stratus Aero Partners, LLC (formerly, Global Aviation Partners LLC), acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Jet Yard, LLC (“Jet Yard”). Jet Yard was organized in 2014, entered into the lease in June 2016 and prior our acquisition maintained de minimus operations. The aggregate cash consideration paid in these two acquisition transactions, after closing date adjustments and not including potential deferred payments to the Contrail Seller described above, was approximately $4,048,000.

In May 2017, AirCo acquired the inventory and principal business assets, and assumed specified liabilities, of Aircraft Instrument and Radio Company, Incorporated, and Aircraft Instrument and Radio Services, Inc. (collectively the “AirCo Sellers”). The acquired business, which is based in Wichita, Kansas, distributes and sells airplane and aviation parts and maintains a license under Part 145 of the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration. The consideration paid for the acquired business was approximately $2,400,000.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed approximately $21,781,000 and $4,293,000 to the Company’s revenues for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing a increase of $17,488,000 (407%).

In March 2014, the Company formed Space Age Insurance Company (“SAIC”), a captive insurance company licensed in Utah, and initially capitalized with $250,000. SAIC insures risks of the Company and its subsidiaries that were not previously insured by the Company’s insurance programs; and underwrites third-party risk through certain reinsurance arrangements. SAIC is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 7, 2017, SAIC invested $500,000 for a 40% interest in TFS Partners LLC (“TFS Partners”), a single-purpose investment entity organized by SAIC and other investors, for the purpose of making an investment in a limited liability company, The Fence Store LLC (“Fence Store LLC”), organized for the purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets of The Fence Store, Inc. (“Fence Store Inc.”). TFS Partners acquired a 60% interest in Fence Store LLC, which has completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Fence Store Inc. Prior to this transaction, Fence Store Inc. operated a business under the tradename “Town and Country Fence” selling and installing residential and commercial fencing in the greater Twin Cities, Minnesota area. Fence Store LLC intends to continue this business.


On December 15, 2017, BCCM, Inc. (“BCCM”), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of Blue Clay Capital Management, LLC (“Blue Clay Capital”), an investment management firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with the transaction, BCCM acquired the assets of, and assumed certain liabilities of, Blue Clay Capital in return for payment to Blue Clay Capital of $1.00, subject to adjustment for Blue Clay Capital’s net working capital as of the closing date. Gary S. Kohler, a director of the Company, was the sole owner of Blue Clay Capital. In connection with the transaction, (i) BCCM replaced Blue Clay Capital as the managing general partner of certain investment funds managed by Blue Clay Capital (Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I, LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III, LP and Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO, LP); (ii) Mr. Kohler entered into an employment agreement with BCCM to serve as its Chief Investment Officer in return for an annual salary of $50,000 plus variable compensation based on the management and incentive fees to be paid to the subsidiary by certain of these investment funds and eligibility to participate in discretionary annual bonuses; and (iii) David Woodis, President of Blue Clay Capital, entered into an employment agreement with BCCM to serve as its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer in return for an annual salary of $125,000 plus revenue sharing and eligibility to participate in discretionary annual bonuses.

In connection with the Blue Clay Capital acquisition, a Partnership Interest Conversion and General Partner Admittance Agreement (“Conversion Agreement”) was entered into effective December 31, 2017 between Blue Clay Capital, BCCM, BCCM Advisors, LLC (“BCCM Advisors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCCM, and various Blue Clay Capital investment funds. Per the Conversion Agreement, Blue Clay Capital sold to BCCM Advisors, and BCCM Advisors purchased from Blue Clay, the general partnership interests in certain investment funds previously managed by Blue Clay Capital (as specified above) for a purchase price equal to, with respect to each general partnership, of (i) one percent (1%) of the aggregate capital accounts of each fund as valued on December 31, 2017 and (ii) $100,000 (or $10,000 in the case of Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO, LP). Upon acquisition of each of the general partnership interests, BCCM Advisors was admitted as the general partner of each fund. Blue Clay Capital retained the incentive allocations associated with Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I, LP and Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III. BCCM Advisors will receive all future incentive allocations accruing as of January 1, 2018 and thereafter associated with Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP which is the onshore feeder fund to the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd. Management determined that the price paid of $227,000 for the combined general partnership interests approximates the fair value of those interests. The portion of the purchase price paid for the general partnership interest in Blue Clay Capital Partners, LP is allocated as an equity interest in the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund, Ltd.

Additionally, effective December 31, 2017, BCCM Advisors entered into an Investment Management Agreement in which it agreed to manage the investments of the following funds: Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd., Blue Clay Capital Fund Ltd. and Blue Clay Capital Partners LP. In connection with the effective date of the Investment Management Agreement, BCCM Advisors became the Incentive Allocation Shareholder of the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd.

At December 31, 2017, the Company held approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock of Insignia Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIG) (“Insignia”), representing approximately 16% of Insignia’s outstanding shares, which shares were acquired commencing in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. Any investment with a fair value of less than its cost basis is assessed for possible “other-than-temporary” impairment regularly and at each reporting date. Other-than-temporary impairments of available-for-sale marketable equity securities are recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss). On the basis of its June 30, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 assessments, the Company concluded that it had suffered an other-than-temporary impairment in its investment in the common stock of Insignia. Consistent with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company’s cost basis in the Insignia investment was lowered from $5,106,000 to $3,604,000 at June 30, 2016 and then to $2,463,000 at March 31, 2017 and to $1,724,000 at June 30, 2017 after the acquisition during the quarter of shares having a cost basis of $32,000, reflecting, in the aggregate, an other-than-temporary impairment of $3,414,000. On January 6, 2017, Insignia paid a special dividend of $0.70 per share to stockholders owning Insignia shares on that date. The receipt of such special dividend, approximately $1,200,000, is included in the other investment income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. During the fourth quarter of the 2017 fiscal year, we recognized an additional investment loss of approximately $112,000 principally due to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of other investment securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months.

At December 31, 2017, the Company held 338,000 shares of common stock of Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR) (Oxbridge). On the basis of its December 31, 2017 “other-than-temporary” impairment assessment, the Company concluded that it had suffered an other-than-temporary impairment in its investment in the common stock of Oxbridge. The Company’s cost basis in its Oxbridge investment was lowered from $1,516,000 to $727,000 at December 31, 2017 which represents an other-than temporary impairment of $789,000.

Third Quarter Operating Highlights

For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company’s revenues, net of intercompany eliminations, increased by $8,732,000 (24%) from the prior year comparable quarter. Operating income, net of intercompany eliminations, decreased by $1,088,000 (66%) compared to the prior year quarter principally due to losses in the current quarter in the printing equipment and maintenance and commercial jet engines and parts segments compared to the prior year comparable quarter which is offset by a large increase in sales volume which improved margins for GGS.

Revenues from the air cargo segment increased by $929,000 (5%) compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, while operating income for the segment increased by $280,000 (39%), due principally to the impact from the June 1, 2017 amendment to the agreements with FedEx that increased the administrative fees payable under these agreements and due to an increase in billable maintenance hours along with an increase in maintenance pass-through costs and the addition of a new contract with another airline.


Revenues for GGS, net of intercompany eliminations, increased by $7,511,000 (139%) compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. The segment’s operating income increased by $1,237,000 (804%) to $1,083,000 from a loss of $154,000 in the prior year’s comparable quarter. The increases in GGS revenues and operating income are due to an increase in sales volume of deicing trucks to some of the Company’s largest customers.

Revenues from our GAS subsidiary increased by $1,064,000 (14%) compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year as a result of the GAS’s growth in new markets and services offered to new and existing customers. The segment’s operating loss increased by $74,000 (179%) to $115,000 from an operating loss of $41,000 in the prior year’s comparable quarter as a result of an increase in labor and related expenses associated with increased headcount for new business.

The printing equipment and maintenance segment contributed revenues, net of intercompany eliminations, of $906,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and operating income, net of intercompany eliminations, of $140,000. In the prior year comparable quarter, this segment contributed revenues, net of intercompany eliminations, of $2,654,000 and an operating income of $1,021,000. The decrease in revenues and decrease in operating income are directly related to lost customers stemming from the events outlined in Note 9 and further described below related to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada along with the costs incurred in connection with the start-up of Delphax Solutions.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $3,931,000$9.6 million of revenues net of intercompany eliminations, in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, whileJune 30, 2021 compared to $4.7 million in the comparable prior year quarter which is an increase of $4.9 million (104%). The increase is primarily attributable to the fact that all the companies within this segment had higher component sales as the aviation industry started to see more activity in the current year quarter as COVID-19 related restrictions continued to loosen.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’sCompany’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the notes theretoto the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017.2021. The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from estimates. The Company believes thatThere were no significant changes to the following are its most significantCompany’s critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is established based on management’spolicies and estimates ofduring the collectability of accounts receivable. three-months ended June 30, 2021.

Seasonality
The required allowance is determined using information such as customer credit history, industry information, credit reports, customer financial condition and the collectability of outstanding receivables. The estimates can be affected by changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry, customer credit issues or general economic conditions.

Inventories. The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are based on assessment of the marketability of slow-moving and obsolete inventories. Historical parts usage, current period sales, estimated future demand and anticipated transactions between willing buyers and sellers provide the basis for estimates. Estimates are subject to volatility and can be affected by reduced equipment utilization, existing supplies of used inventory available for sale, the retirement of aircraft or ground equipment changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry, and market developments impacting both legacy and next-generation products and services of our printing equipment and maintenance segment.

Warranty Reserves. The Company warranties its ground equipment products for up to a three-year period from date of sale. Product warranty reserves are recorded at time of sale based on the historical average warranty cost and are adjusted as actual warranty cost becomes known. Delphax warranties its equipment for a period of 90 days commencing with installation, except in the European Union, where it is generally one year from product shipment date. Similarly, Delphax warranties spare parts and supplies for a period of 90 days from shipment date. These warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made based on actual claims experience in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims.


Income Taxes. Income taxes have been provided using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is earned. This occurs when services have been rendered or products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the terms of an agreement of sale, there is a fixed or determinable selling price, title and risk of loss have been transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from our Overnight Air Cargosales segment are generally recognized as flight operation and maintenance services are provided or, in the case of certain pass-through costs for things like maintenance parts and fuel, as the Company incurs the related expenditure. Within the Company’s Ground Equipment Sales segment, revenues are generally recognized at the time the related equipment has been shipped to the customer and risk and loss has transferred. In the case of certain contracts with the U.S. Government or related prime contractors, the Company applies contract accounting and uses either the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method, as appropriate. Revenues of our Ground Support Services segment are generally recognized as the contracted services are completed. Substantially all Printing Equipment and Maintenance segment revenues are recognized upon product shipment, which is generally when transfer to the customer or risk of loss occurs. Service revenue is recognized upon completion of services. Similarly, Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment revenues are recognized upon shipment of parts and transfer of risk of loss or, as applicable, upon completion of services. Leasing revenues are recognized consistent with contract terms and are generally recognized on a straight-line basis due to the operating lease classification of the underlying leases.

Although infrequent, the Company does occasionally enter into customer arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements. For any such arrangements, the Company applies the applicable accounting guidance in order to identify the individual accounting elements and to determine the most appropriate revenue recognition model for such elements.

We evaluate gross versus net presentation on revenues from products or services purchased and resold in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria outlined in FASB Codification Section 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations.

Business Combinations. The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with FASB Codification Section 805 (“ASC 805”) Business Combinations. Consistent with ASC 805, the Company accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the Company records the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Included in purchase consideration is the estimated acquisition date fair value of any earn-out obligation incurred. For business combinations where non-controlling interests remain after the acquisition, assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at the full fair value and the portion of the acquisition date fair value attributable to non-controlling interests is recorded as a separate line item within the equity section or, as applicable to redeemable non-controlling interests, between the liabilities and equity sections of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The acquisition method permits the Company a period of time after the acquisition date during which the Company may adjust the provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. This period of time is referred to as the “measurement period”. The measurement period provides an acquirer with a reasonable time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports in its consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Under accounting standards in effect as of the Company’s acquisition of interests in Delphax, the Company had two alternatives available to account for subsequent adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Under the first method, which is no longer an available option since the Company’s first fiscal 2017 quarter, the Company would retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained. Under the second method, which is the only allowed method beginning with the Company’s first fiscal 2017 quarter, the Company is required to recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill, in the reporting period in which the adjustments to the provisional amounts are determined. Thus, the Company would adjust its consolidated financial statements as needed, including recognizing in its current-period earnings the full effect of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, by line item, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted the second of the two above-described methods with respect to its acquisition of interests in Delphax.


Income statement activity of an acquired business is reflected within the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) commencing with the date of acquisition. Amounts for pre-acquisition periods are excluded.

Acquisition-related costs are costs the Company incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs may include such items as finder’s fees; advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees, and general administrative costs. The Company accounts for such acquisition-related costs as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

Changes in estimate of the fair value of earn-out obligations subsequent to the acquisition date are not accounted for as part of the acquisition but are rather recognized directly in earnings.

Attribution of Net Income or Loss of Partially-Owned Consolidated Entities. In the case of Delphax, we have determined that the attribution of net income or loss should be based on consideration of all of Air T’s investments in Delphax and it subsidiary, Delphax Canada Technologies Limited (“Delphax Canada”). Our investment in the Warrant provides that in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax, the holder of the Warrant is entitled to participate in such dividends on a ratable basis as if the Warrant had been fully exercised and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon such exercise had been converted into shares of Delphax common stock. This provision would have entitled Air T, Inc. to approximately 67% of any Delphax dividends paid, with the remaining 33% paid to the non-controlling interests. We concluded that this was a substantive distribution right which should be considered in the attribution of Delphax net income or loss to non-controlling interests. We furthermore concluded that our investment in the debt of Delphax should be considered in attribution. Specifically, Delphax’s net losses are attributed first to our Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant investments and to the non-controlling interest (67%/33%) until such amounts are reduced to zero. Additional losses are then fully attributed to our debt investments until they too are reduced to zero. This sequencing reflects the relative priority of debt to equity. Any further losses are then attributed to Air T and the non-controlling interests based on the initial 67%/33% share. Delphax net income is attributed using a backwards-tracing approach with respect to previous losses. The effect of interest expense arising under the Senior Subordinated Note and, from January 6, 2017 to August 10, 2017, under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement, and other intercompany transactions, are reflected in the attribution of Delphax net income or losses attributed to non-controlling interests because Delphax is a variable interest entity. As a result of the application of the above-described attribution methodology, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the attribution of Delphax net income to non-controlling interests was 3.19% and for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the attribution of Delphax net loss to non-controlling interests was 33%.

The above-described attribution methodology applies only to our investments in Delphax. We establish the appropriate attribution methodology on an entity-specific basis. In the case of Contrail Aviation, we concluded that an attribution methodology based solely on equity ownership percentages was appropriate.

Accounting for Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is party to a put/call option agreement concerning the non-controlling ownership interest held in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Contrail Aviation. The put/call option permits Contrail Aviation, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Company’s acquisition of Contrail Aviation, to purchase the non-controlling interest from the holder of such interest. The agreement also permits the holder of the non-controlling interest to sell such interest to Contrail Aviation. Per the agreement, the price is to be agreed upon by the parties or, failing such agreement, to be determined pursuant to third-party appraisals in a process specified in the agreement. Applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Based on this guidance, the Company has classified the Contrail Aviation non-controlling interest between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If an equity instrument subject to the guidance is currently redeemable, the instrument is adjusted to its maximum redemption amount at the balance sheet date. If the equity instrument subject to the guidance is not currently redeemable but it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable (for example, when the redemption depends solely on the passage of time), the guidance permits either of the following measurement methods: (a) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using an appropriate methodology, or (b) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The amount presented in temporary equity should be no less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity for the instrument. Because the Contrail Aviation equity instrument will become redeemable solely based on the passage of time, the Company determined that it is probable that the Contrail Aviation equity instrument will become redeemable. The Company has elected to apply the first of the two measurement options described above. An adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-controlling interest from the application of the above guidance does not impact net income or comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements. Rather, such adjustments are treated as equity transactions.

Variable Interest Entities. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company analyzes its variable interests to determine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as its primary beneficiary.


Goodwill.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least once annually. An impairment test will also be carried out anytime events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. The applicable accounting standards provide for two methods to assess goodwill for possible impairment, one qualitative and the other a two-step quantitative method. The Company is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (this is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. In qualitatively evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market developments, cost factors, and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing these events and circumstances, it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the quantitative goodwill impairment test are unnecessary. In the first step of the quantitative method, recoverability of goodwill is evaluated by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill using multiple techniques, including a discounted cash flow model income approach and a market approach. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations. Any residual fair value is allocated to goodwill. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value.

Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Factors which may cause an impairment include extended operating cash flow losses from the assets and management's decisions regarding the future use of assets. To conduct impairment testing, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash is largely independent of cash flows of other assets and liabilities. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset group is less than the carrying value. In the event it is determined that the carrying values of long-lived assets are in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows from those assets, the Company then will write-down the value of the assets by such excess. Fair values are determined considering quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable.

Marketable Securities.  On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews marketable securities for declines in market value that may be considered other than temporary.  Market value declines are considered to be other than temporary based on the length of time and the magnitude of the amount of each security that is in an unrealized loss position. The Company also consider the nature of the underlying investments and other market conditions or when other evidence indicates impairment. If the Company determines that an investment has other than a temporary decline in fair value, the Company recognizes the investment loss in non-operating income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). 

Going Concern. The Company applies ASC 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which became effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. In connection with preparing its consolidated financial statements, Company management evaluates whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.


Seasonality

GGS’s business has historically been seasonal, with the revenues and operating income typically being lower in the first and fourth fiscal quarters as commercial deicers are typically delivered prior to the winter season. The Company had worked to reduce GGS’sOther segments have typically not experienced material seasonal fluctuation in revenues and earnings by increasing military and international sales and broadening its product line to increase revenues and earnings throughout the year. In July 2009, GGS was awarded a contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF, which expired in July 2014. On May 15, 2014, GGS was awarded a new contract to continue supplying deicing trucks to the USAF. The initial contract award is for two years through July 13, 2016 with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the USAF, the first two of which were exercised, extending the contract term to July 13, 2018. The value of the contract, as well as the number of units to be delivered, depends upon annual requirements and available funding to the USAF. Although GGS has retained the USAF deicer contract, orders under the contract have not been sufficient to offset the seasonal trend for commercial sales. As a result, GGS revenues and operating income have resumed their seasonal nature. Our other reporting segments are not as susceptible to seasonal trends.

S. federal statutory rate due to the benefit for the Section 831(b) income exclusion for SAIC, the benefit for the federal domestic production activities deduction, the increase in the valuation allowance related to the activity of Delphax, and state income tax expense. As a result of tax reform, the rate was also impacted by the recognition of the minimum tax credit carryforward and the expense relating to the revaluing of the deferred tax asset and liability balances to the new federal statutory rate.

In addition, a commitment fee accrued with respect to the unused amount of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.15%. The Company included the commitment fee expense within the interest expense and other line item of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

In April 2020, the Company obtained loans under the PPP loan, backed by the SBA, as authorized by the CARES Act, of $8.2 million to help pay for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has applied to the SBA for forgiveness of the PPP Loan; however, forgiveness is not fully assured.

As mentioned in Note 1 LLC,3 of Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report, in 2016, Contrail entered into an Operating Agreement with the Seller providing for the put and call options with regard to the 21% non-controlling interest retained by the Seller. The Seller is the founder of Contrail and its current Chief Executive Officer. The Put/Call Option permits the Seller to require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation commencing on the fifth anniversary of the acquisition, which was on July 18, 2021. As of the date of this filing, neither the Seller nor Air T has indicated the intent to exercise the put and call options. If either side were to exercise the option, the Company anticipates that the price would approximate the fair value of the Contrail RNCI, as determined on the transaction date. The Company currently expects that it would fund any required payment from cash provided by operations.

As mentioned in Note 13 of Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report, on May 5, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiarynew aircraft asset management business called CAM and a new aircraft capital joint venture called CJVII. The new venture will focus on acquiring commercial aircraft and jet engines for leasing, trading and disassembly. CJVII will target investments in current generation narrow-body aircraft and engines, building on Contrail Aviation’s origination and asset management expertise. CAM will serve two separate and distinct functions: 1) to direct the sourcing, acquisition and management of AirCo, LLC, closed a loanaircraft assets owned by CJVII, and 2) to directly invest into CJVII alongside other institutional investment partners. CAM has an initial commitment to CJVII of approximately $53 million, which is comprised of an $8 million initial commitment from the Company and an approximately $45 million initial commitment from MRC. As of June 30, 2021, CAM's unfunded capital commitments are approximately $6.9 million from the Company and $43.9 million from MRC. CJVII will initially be capitalized with up to $408 million of equity from the Company and three institutional investor partners, consisting of $108 million in initial commitments and $300 million in upsize capacity, contingent on underwriting and transaction appeal. As of the date of this filing, no capital has been deployed to CJVII and the timing of capital deployment is not yet known at this time.

The Company believes it is probable that the cash on hand (including that obtained from the PPP and other current financings), net cash provided by operations from its remaining operating segments, together with its current revolving lines of credit, as amended or replaced, will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due in the amount of $3,441,000 from Minnesota Bank & Trust in order to finance, in part, the purchase of a 737-800 airframe for the purpose of disassembling the plane and selling it for parts. The plane will be disassembled by Jet Yard, LLC, an affiliate, and the parts will be sold on consignment to AirCo, LLC, which will market them to third parties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specific items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company does not add back depreciation expense for aircraft engines that are on lease, as the Company believes this expense matches with MBTthe corresponding revenue earned on engine leases. Depreciation expense for leased engines totaled $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the repaymentthree months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the previous revolving credit facility.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

The Company is exposed to various risks, including interest rate risk. As interest rates are projected to increase and can be volatile, the Company has designated a risk management policy which permits the use of derivative instruments to provide protection against rising interest rates on variable rate debt.

Item 4.4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company’s

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2021. Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are designed to ensureeffective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluatedIt should be noted that the effectivenessdesign of the Company’s disclosureany system of controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2017. As a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below which had not been remediated as of December 31, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the following material weaknesses existed:

A weakness with respect to internal controls over revenue recognition. We determined a lack of formalized procedures for the documentation of revenue arrangements at GAS, including a lack of procedures requiring service contracts to be signed by all parties, for documentation of oral service contracts and acceptance of parts and services by customers, and to confirm that invoices are appropriately sent to customers.


Additionally, we identified a weakness in our GGS segment’s process to determine both 1) when to apply the completed contract method for certain contracts with the U.S. Government or related prime contractors and 2) when contracts for which we apply the completed contract method are “substantially complete” for revenue recognition purposes;

A lack of an effective internal control environment at Delphax, including insufficient account reconciliation, financial statement review, and segregation of duties controls, as well as a lack of procedures for the proper maintenance of records to support balances within Delphax’s financial statements;

A lack of effective internal controls for the analysis of the accounting guidance applicable to recognition of our investments. Specifically, our previous conclusions that Delphax was a VIE and that Air T was Delphax’s primary beneficiary were based in part on considerations which were not supportableupon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated goals under GAAP. Also, our VIE analysisall potential future conditions, regardless of the general partnership interests and equity interests in certain investment funds entered into during the quarter ended December 31, 2017;

how remote.

An application of an inappropriate methodology for attributing the net income or loss of Delphax to the non-controlling interests. Specifically, our attribution was based solely on our ownership of the Series B Preferred Stock rather than on a methodology that gave appropriate consideration to all of Air T’s investments in Delphax and Delphax Canada. As a result of our failure to establish an appropriate attribution methodology it was necessary to restate our fiscal year 2016 consolidated financial statements originally included on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements originally included on Form 10-Q for the periods ended December 31, 2015, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016;

A weakness with respect to internal controls over monitoring compliance with financial covenants stipulated by our senior secured revolving credit facility; and
Lack of effective internal control for the analysis of the accounting guidance applicable to the foreclosure and bankruptcy of Delphax Canada.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that these material weaknesses had not been remediated as of December 31, 2017. In light of the material weaknesses discussed above, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements in this report are fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s development of its plan to remediate these material weaknesses is ongoing. While such plan has not yet been completed, the Company’s plan will include the following elements:

Establishment of written procedures at GAS for the documentation of revenue arrangements, including procedures for the receipt, retention and review of written agreements including implementation of contract management software for confirming that all customer relationships are indexed by written contracts executed by both parties and review and retention of evidence of delivery of parts and customer acceptance of services, as applicable, and procedures for the confirmation of the timely transmission of customer invoices, active monitoring of aging invoices and training of GAS accounting personnel with respect to such procedures. Additionally, the formalization of GGS’ process of determining both when application of the completed contract method for certain contracts with the U.S. Government or related prime contractors is appropriate and when, for contracts for which we apply the completed contract method, our performance is “substantially complete” for revenue recognition purposes;

Further engagement of accounting consultants to assist the Company with respect to accounting for complex accounting transactions; and

Timely consultation with our senior lender, including receipt of associated written confirmation, regarding any points of interpretation with respect to covenant provisions and definitions.


With respect to the deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting at Delphax described above, the Company’s plan for remediation will be developed following consultation with Delphax. The Company currently contemplates that such plan will include ensuring sufficient capabilities to permit Delphax to timely comply with audit requests, and implementation of additional controls with respect to access to the Delphax payroll module and controls with respect to appropriate record retention.

There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our ability to benefitthe Company’s common stock from acquisitions involves a number of risks, including our ability to identify suitable prospects, access funding sources on acceptable terms, negotiate favorable transaction terms and successfully consummate and integrate any businesses we acquire. Our acquisition activities may involve unanticipated delays, costs or other problems. If we encounter unexpected problems with one of our acquisitions, our management may be required to divert attention away from other aspects of our businesses to address these problems. Additionally, we may fail to consummate proposed acquisitions, after incurring expenses and devoting substantial resources, including management time to such transactions.

Any contractual guarantees or indemnities that we receive from the sellers of acquired businesses may not be sufficient to protect us from, or compensate us for, actual liabilities. A material liability associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our results of operations and reduce the benefits of the acquisition. Additionally, acquisitions involve other risks, such as differing levels of management and internal control effectiveness at the acquired entities, systems integration risks, the risk of impairment charges relating to goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, the risk of significant accounting charges resulting from the completion and integration of a sizeable acquisition, the need to fund increased capital expenditures and working capital requirements, our ability to retain and motivate employees of acquired entities and other unanticipated problems and liabilities.
