The reincorporation was approved by the stockholders of Air Industries Delaware at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Air Industries Nevada is deemed to be the successor.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining Corporation (“AIM”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. ("WMI" or “Welding”), Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMI and Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”) (together, the “Company”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 2. ACQUISITION
On April 1, 2014, the Company acquired, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Welding, all of the common stock of Woodbine Products, Inc. (“Woodbine”) for $2.4 million and 30,000 shares of the common stock of AIRI, valued at $9.68 per share, which was the closing share price on April 1, 2014. Additionally, a working capital adjustment is to be calculated within 60 days of closing and is payable to the appropriate party within 10 days of such calculation. Woodbine is a long established manufacturer of aerospace components whose customers include major aircraft component suppliers.

The Company has occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
AIM has several sole-source suppliers of various parts that are used in one or more of its products. If any of these sole source suppliers were to go out of business or be unable to provide it parts for any reason, AIM would be required to develop new suppliers or to re-engineer its products, or both, which could delay shipment of products and have a material adverse effect on its operating results.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculation for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
| | March 31, | | | March 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
| | (Unaudited) | | | (Unaudited) | |
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earning per share | | | 5,863,564 | | | | 5,711,093 | |

Weighted average shares outstanding and dilutive securities used to compute dilutive earnings per share | | | 6,125,909 | | | | 5,809,572 | |
The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Warrants | | | - | | | | 250 | |
| | | 17,048 | | | | 12,798 | |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation." Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Stock-based compensation amounted to $3,000 and $0 for the three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $453,000 relates to the acquisition of WMI ($291,000) and NTW acquisition ($162,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not will reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This guidance is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill (a consensus of the Private Company Council)" (ASU 2014-02). ASU 2014-02 allows an accounting alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. An entity within the scope of the amendment that elects the accounting alternative in ASU 2014-02 should amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years, or less than 10 years if the entity demonstrates that another useful life is more appropriate. As the Company is a public company, this standard does not apply.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC")
The Company has a credit facility with PNC (the "Loan Facility") secured by substantially all of its assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Loan Facility provided for maximum borrowings of $22,000,000 consisting of the following:
(i) | a $20,000,000 revolving loan (includes inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000) and |
(ii) | a $1,948,000 term loan. |
On April 1, 2014, the Loan Facility was amended and the Company paid a loan amendment fee of $15,000. These amendments added Woodbine as a borrower on the Loan Facility and increased the maximum borrowings to $22,676,000 less repayments of the Term Loan made on or after the closing date. The maximum borrowings consist of the following:
(i) | a $20,000,000 revolving loan (includes inventory sub-limit of $12,500,000) and |
(ii) | a $2,676,000 term loan. |
Under the terms of the Loan Facility the revolving credit note now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one half of one percent (2.50%) with respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Prior to the amendment the revolving credit note bore interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The revolving credit note had an interest rate of 4.0 % per annum at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and an outstanding balance of $16,213,000 and $12,029,000, respectively. The maturity date of the revolving credit note is November 30, 2016.
Each day, the Company's cash collections are swept directly by the bank to reduce the revolving loan and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base. As such, the Company generally has no cash on hand. Because the revolving loan contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the loans are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.
Under the terms of the Loan Facility, the maturity date of the term loan was the first business day (as defined) of January 2015. The term loan bears interest equal to (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three quarters of one percent (1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans or (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus three percent (3.00%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Repayment under the term loan consisted of 19 consecutive monthly principal installments, the first 18 of which were $150,000 commencing on the first business day of July 2013, with the 19th and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the first business day of January 2015. Additionally, upon a request from PNC no later than the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter, there is a prepayment equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined) for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 (formerly September 30, 2012), payable upon the delivery of the financial statements for such fiscal period to PNC, but no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter. PNC did not make such a request for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance due under the term loan was $1,498,000 and $1,948,000, respectively.
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 1, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $1,328,000. The repayment of the Term Loan was also amended on that date to thirty-two consecutive monthly principal installments, the first thirty-one of which shall be in the amount of $31,859 commencing on the first business day of May 2014, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a thirty-second and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016.
To the extent that the Company disposes of collateral used to secure the Loan Facility, other than inventory, the Company must promptly repay the draws on the credit facility in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale.
The terms of the Loan Facility require that, among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. The Company is also limited to the amount of Dividends it can pay its shareholders as defined in the Loan Facility. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all terms of the Loan Facility.
The Company's receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by PNC (subject to the terms of the Loan Facility). PNC may use some elements of subjective business judgment in determining whether a material adverse change has occurred in the Company's condition, results of operations, assets, business, properties or prospects allowing it to demand repayment of the Loan Facility.
As of March 31, 2014 the future minimum principal payments for the term loan as amended are as follows:
For the twelve months ending | | Amount | |
March 31, 2015 | | $ | 501,000 | |
March 31, 2016 | | | 382,000 | |

Capital Leases Payable – Equipment
The Company is committed under several capital leases for manufacturing and computer equipment. All leases have bargain purchase options exercisable at the termination of each lease. Capital lease obligations totaled $1,680,000 and $1,787,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, with various interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 9.5%.

Note 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Issuances
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,442 shares of its common stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of Warrants.
On October 28, 2013, the Company sold 133,000 shares of its common stock for $7.50 a share for gross proceeds of $997,500. The Company reserves the right to pay Taglich Brothers a placement agent fee in connection with the sale in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement contained a provision such that if at any time prior to April 30, 2014, the Company, in a transaction in which it receives gross proceeds in excess of $1,000,000, issues or otherwise sells or distributes shares of its preferred stock, common stock or options, warrants, rights or other securities to purchase or convertible into shares of its preferred stock or common stock, hereinafter, the “New Securities,” (other than compensatory options to purchase no more than 500,000 shares issued to the directors, employees or regularly engaged consultants of the Company) at its option, the buyer may elect to return all, but not less than all, of the shares to the Company and subscribe for the New Securities to be sold or distributed by the Company. In such event, the buyer shall receive the number of New Securities as is equal to the result obtained by dividing the Aggregate Purchase Price by the price per share at which the New Securities are being sold by the Company. No additional shares were issued as a result of these provisions.
On April 1, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Woodbine, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Woodbine.
Dividends
On March 26, 2014, the Board of Directors approved and the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share paid on April 22, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2014. The approximate amount of the dividend was $880,000.
Stock Options
On June 3, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”). The 2013 plan is virtually identical to and is intended to replace, the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The proposal to approve the 2013 Plan was approved by the affirmative vote of the Company’s stockholders on July 29, 2013.
Derivative Liability
In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
Down Round Feature
As discussed above, the Company issued shares of common stock under a Common Stock Purchase Agreement which contained a “down round” feature. Based on an evaluation as discussed in ASC No. 815-5, “Embedded Derivatives” and ASC No. 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the down round feature in the common stock issued was not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the down round feature should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.

The Company did not value the derivative liability at October 25, 2013, the date of consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was operating profitably and had generated net cash through operations for the trailing nine months of $3,556,000. Further, at such time the Company was not anticipating any material acquisitions or significant capital expenditures that would require the Company to seek additional cash financing. Moreover, although the Company might seek additional capital to complete a new acquisition, it was only likely to seek to complete an acquisition if it was accretive to earnings. If triggering the down round feature would render an acquisition dilutive rather than accretive, it was unlikely that the acquisition would be made until after the down round feature expired.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at March 31, 2014. At such date, the Company determined that it would not issue equity financing prior to April 30, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. No additional shares were issued as a result of these provisions.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company determined that it no longer needed to provide a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets except for the capital loss and section 1231 loss carryforwards. This was based upon the fact that management believes that the realizability of the net deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,092,000.
The Company has a capital loss carry forward from the sale of Sigma Metals, Inc., the Company’s former subsidiary, of $2,719,000, which will expire in fiscal 2015.
Note 10. SEGMENT REPORTING
In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company is operating in three segments. AIM manufactures components and subassemblies for the defense and aerospace industry. NTW is a manufacturer of aerospace components, principally landing gear for F-16 and F-18 fighter aircraft. WMI provides specialty welding services and metal fabrications to the defense and commercial aerospace industry. While each of these segments service the same industries and a similar customer base, we evaluate the performance of each segment separately in deciding how to allocate resources and in accessing profitability.
Beginning on January 1, 2013, the Company began to allocate all of the corporate selling and general and administrative costs of AIRI to each of its three subsidiaries. For both 2014 and 2013, these are allocated 50% to AIM and 25% to each of WMI and NTW.
