FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements relating to the Merger (as defined herein), the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the geopolitical events related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on our business, changes in the market for our services, changes in applicable laws or regulations, our ability to launch new services and products or to profitably expand into new markets, and the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on our business; factors that adversely impact the commercial aviation industry; fluctuation of market values for our aviation products; our inability to repossess Flight Equipment (as defined herein) when a lessee defaults and the cost of remarketing and releasing such repossessed Flight Equipment; compliance with significant government regulations; the success at our MRO (as defined herein) facilities is dependent on continued outsourcing by airlines; a shortage of skilled personnel or work stoppages; inability to obtain certain components and raw materials from suppliers; competitive pressures; risks associated with operating internationally; the value of liens on our Flight Equipment; ownership rights over an engine affixed to an aircraft; risks associated with business acquisitions; continued availability of financing; restrictive and financial covenants in our existing debt; product and other liability claims; risks associated with supplying equipment and services to the U.S. government; cyber or other security threats or other disruptions; compliance with environmental requirements; payment of capital expenditures; our lack of ownership of certain intellectual property that is important to our business; dependence on our facilities; damage to our reputation by improper conduct of employees, agents, and others; limitations on employee compensation as a result of the CARES Act; the loss of certain key employees; insolvency of any of our customers; exposure to intellectual property litigation; and the factors described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2022.

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “AerSale,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to AerSale Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2022

NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Organization

Monocle Acquisition Corporation (“Monocle”) was initially formed on August 20, 2018 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On December 22, 2020, (the “Closing Date”), Monocle consummated a business combination pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 8, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Monocle, AerSale Corporation (f/k/a Monocle Holdings Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), AerSale Aviation, Inc. (f/k/a AerSale Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“AerSale Aviation”), Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”), and Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the initial Holder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Merger” and in connection therewith, Monocle merged with and into us, whereby the Company survived the merger and became the successor issuer to Monocle by operation of Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.

Upon the consummation of the Merger: (a) Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into Monocle, with Monocle surviving the merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”), and (b) Merger Sub 2 was merged with and into AerSale Aviation, with AerSale Aviation surviving the merger as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), AerSale Aviation changed its name from “AerSale Corp.” to “AerSale Aviation, Inc.” and the Company changed its name from “Monocle Holdings Inc.” to “AerSale Corporation.” Immediately following the Merger, the Company contributed all of its ownership in Monocle to AerSale Aviation which will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company’s corporate headquarters are based in Miami, Florida, with additional offices, hangars, and warehouses globally.

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Policies in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements, management believes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been made. Unaudited interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report), wherein a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information can be found.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

Products — Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) Sales

Revenues from sales of USM are measured based on consideration specified within customer contracts, and excludes any sales commissions and taxes collected and remitted to government agencies. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a product or service to a customer. The parts are sold at a fixed price with no right of return. In determining the performance obligation, management has identified the promise in the contract to be the shipment of the spare parts to the customer. Title passes to the buyer when the goods are shipped, the buyer is responsible for any loss in transit and the Company has a legal right to payment for the spare parts once shipped. The Company generally sells its USM products under standard 30-day payment terms, subject to certain exceptions. Customers neither have the right to return products nor do they have the right to extended financing. The Company has determined that physical acceptance of the spare parts to be a formality in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”).

Spare parts revenue is based on a set price for a set number of parts as defined in the purchase order. The performance obligation is completed once the parts have shipped and as a result, all of the transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to recognize spare parts sales at a point in time (i.e., the date the parts are shipped) in accordance with ASC 606.

Products — Whole Asset Sales

Revenues from whole asset sales are measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company and customer enter into an agreement which outlines the place and date of sale, purchase price, condition of the whole asset, bill of sale and the assignment of rights and warranties from the Company to the customer. The Company believes the whole asset holds standalone value to the customer as it is not dependent on any other services for functionality purposes and therefore is distinct within the context of the contract and as described in ASC 606-10. Accordingly, the Company has identified the transfer of the whole asset as the performance obligation. The transaction price is set at a fixed dollar amount per fixed quantity (number of whole assets) and is explicitly stated in each contract. Whole asset sales revenue is based on a set price for a set number of assets, which is allocated to the performance obligation discussed above, in its entirety. The Company has determined the date of transfer to the customer is the date the customer obtains control over the asset and would cause the revenue recognition. Payment is required in full upon a customer’s acceptance of the whole asset on the date of the transfer.

Leasing Revenues

The Company leases flight equipment under operating leases that contain monthly base rent and reports rental income straight line over the life of the lease as it is earned. Additionally, the Company’s leases provide for supplemental rent, which is calculated based on actual hours or cycles of utilization and, for certain components, based on the amount of time until maintenance of that component is required. In certain leases, the Company records supplemental rent paid by the lessees as maintenance deposit payment liabilities in recognition of the Company’s contractual commitment to reimburse qualifying maintenance. Reimbursements to the lessees upon receipt of evidence of qualifying maintenance work are charged against the existing maintenance deposit payment liabilities. In leases where the Company is responsible for performing certain repairs or replacement of aircraft components or engines, supplemental rent is recorded as revenue in the period earned. In the event of premature lease termination or lessee default on the lease terms, revenue recognition will be discontinued when outstanding balances beyond the customers’ deposits are held. Payment terms for leased flight equipment are due upon receipt.

Table of Contents

Service Revenues

Service revenues are recognized as performance obligations when they are fulfilled and the benefits are transferred to the customer. At contract inception, the Company evaluates if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, the Company’s service contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, the service provided significantly modifies or customizes the other good or service or the goods or services are highly interdependent or interrelated with each other. If the contract has more than one performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration that cannot be reasonably estimated is recorded when known.

For most service contracts, performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. The Company receives payments from our customers based on billing schedules or contractual terms.

For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, the Company measures progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, the Company utilizes the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. The Company is required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. Under most of the Company’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, the Company is entitled to payment for items delivered, fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed.

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the input method based on labor hours are recorded using the cumulative catchup method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long term programs where the Company provides MRO services.

The Company has elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASC 606. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost, are included in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. The Company’s reported sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are net of any sales or related non income taxes. The Company also utilizes the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value the Company is providing to the customer.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Leases (Topic 842)”, which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” Topic 842 will be effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2022, the impact of which will be reflected in the fourth quarter of 2022 recorded retroactively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. We plan to elect the practical expedients, which permits us to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases,

(ii) the lease classification for any expired leases and (iii) indirect costs for any existing leases. In addition, the practical expedient allows us not to separate lease and non-lease components for both lessee and lessor relationships and to not apply the recognition requirements to leases with terms of less than 12 months. Based on preliminary estimates, our adoption is expected to result in the recognition of operating lease right of use assets of approximately $13.8 million and lease liabilities of approximately $14.9 million on January 1, 2022. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify additional impacts that Topic 842 could have on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Under this standard, issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted the new standards as of January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Payroll Support Programs

The Company has also taken steps to improve our liquidity, including seeking financial assistance under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have received $16.4 million from the U.S. Treasury Department (“Treasury”) through the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act, of which $3.7 million was received and recognized as payroll support program proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2021. NaN amount was received or recognized under the CARES Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

As part of the Payroll Support Extension Law, the Company entered into an agreement with the Treasury on March 4, 2021 for the receipt of relief funds of $5.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received $5.5 million in grant proceeds under the Payroll Support Extension Law. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021, $2.9 million and $5.5 million was recognized as payroll support program proceeds in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP”), we entered into an agreement with the Treasury on April 16, 2021 for the receipt of relief funds of an additional $5.5 million. This amount was recognized during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021.

In connection with the financial assistance the Company has received under the Payroll Support Program, it is required to comply with certain provisions of the CARES Act, including the requirement that funds provided pursuant to the Payroll Support Program be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits; the requirement against involuntary terminations and furloughs and reductions in employee pay rates and benefits from the signing date of the Payroll Support Program agreement through September 30, 2021. The agreement requires the

Table of Contents

Company to issue a recall to any employee who was terminated or furloughed between October 1, 2020 and March 4, 2021 and enable such employee to return to employment. In addition, the Company is subject to provisions prohibiting the repurchase of common stock and the payment of common stock dividends through September 30, 2022, as well as limitations on the payment of certain employee compensation through April 1, 2023. These restrictions may affect the Company’s operations and if the Company does not comply with these provisions, it may be required to reimburse up to 100% of any previously received relief funds. In particular, limitations on compensation may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain senior management or attract other key employees during this critical time. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable provisions of the CARES Act, Payroll Support Program and ARP.

NOTE C — SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Impact of Ukraine Conflict and Russia Sanctions

In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in an active conflict against the country. As a result, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. These sanctions include controls on the export and re-export of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, supply of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian persons or for use in Russia, subject to certain wind-down periods, and the imposition of restrictions on doing business with certain state-owned Russian customers and other investments and business activities in Russia. In order to comply with these sanctions, we ceased pursuing future business in Russia and terminated our 3 leases with operators doing business in Russia, successfully recovering 2 aircraft with 1 engine still unrecovered. Due to continued uncertainty in the ability to recover this engine from Russia or to collect insurance coverage we have fully impaired this asset. Although the current sanctions prohibit the continuation of certain business activities, the three leases referenced were contractually scheduled to expire in 2022 and therefore will not have a material impact on our business or 2022 financial condition. While it is difficult to predict the short or long term implications of this conflict and sanctions on the global economy and the aviation industry, we intend to fully comply with all applicable sanctions and embargoes, and do not expect the current situation will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

NOTE D — REVENUE

The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables or costs incurred where revenue recognized over time exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract by contract basis.

Contract assets are as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Change
Contract assets	$	12,258	$	13,221	$	(963)

Contract assets are reported within accounts receivable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in contract assets primarily results from the timing difference between the performance of services. Contract liabilities are reported as deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounted to $2.9 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $2.6 million was related to contract liabilities for services performed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized as revenue $0.9 million and $2.2 million of contract liabilities included in the beginning balance for services performed as the timing between customer payments and our performance of the services is generally no longer than six months.

NOTE F — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company reviews and evaluates our goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for potential impairment at a minimum annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment is possible.

The Company determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of methods. An income approach based on discounted cash flows was used to determine the values of our trademarks, certifications, customer relationships and FAA certificates. The assumptions the Company used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units are based on historical performance, as well as forecasts used in our current business plan and require considerable management judgment.

The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets as defined by ASC 350 is related to our subsidiaries, AerSale Component Solutions (d/b/a AerSale Landing Gear Solutions) (“ALGS”), Avborne Component Solutions (d/b/a AerSale Component Solutions) (“ACS”), and Aircraft Composite Technologies (“ACT”), which are included in the TechOps segment, as well as Qwest, which is included under the Asset Management Solutions segment.

NOTE J – WARRANT LIABILITY

Warrants to purchase a total of 750,000 and 835,014 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 750,000 warrants were issued to founders in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”). Each of the Private Warrants entitles the registered holder to purchase 1 share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Warrants include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” The Company classifies the Private Warrants as a liability at their fair value subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants as of June 30, 2021 was determined using the market price of the Company’s public warrants adjusted for their lack of liquidity. Effective December 29, 2021 all public warrants were redeemed on a cashless basis and ceased trading on Nasdaq. As a result, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was adopted. The following table represents the assumptions for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants as of June 30, 2022:


		June 30, 2022
Risk-free interest rate		3.01%
Expected volatility of common stock		30.38%
Dividend yield		-
Expected option term in years		3.5

The significant assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation consist of interest rate for U.S. Treasury Bonds, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and expected volatility estimated using historical daily volatility of guideline public companies.

Change in fair value of warrant liability income recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was $1.4 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Change in fair value of warrant liability expense recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

NOTE K — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

NOTE L — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Consistent with how our chief operating decision maker (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and utilizes gross profit as a profitability measure, the Company reports its activities in 2 business segments:

●

Asset Management Solutions — comprised of activities to extract value from strategic asset acquisitions through leasing, trading, or disassembling for product sales.

●

TechOps — comprised of MRO activities; and product sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products.

The Asset Management Solutions segment provides short-term and long-term leasing solutions of aircraft and jet engines to passenger and cargo operators worldwide. Assets considered to be at or near the end of their useful lives, supplied by our leasing portfolio or acquisitions, are analyzed for return maximization to assess whether they will be traded as whole assets or disassembled and sold as individual spare parts and components.

The TechOps segment consists of aftermarket support and services businesses that provide maintenance support for aircraft and aircraft components, and sale of engineered solutions. Our MRO business also engages in longer term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo conversions of wide-body aircraft, and aircraft storage. The segment also includes MRO of landing gear, thrust reversers, and other components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead. Our engineered solutions revenues consist of sales of products internally developed as permitted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges for operators. In order to develop these products, the Company engages in research and development activities. Periodically, the Company’s TechOps segment engages in the repair and sale of used serviceable materials through its ability to overhaul existing inventory, or sale of whole assets dedicated to its business.

Table of Contents

Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from sales. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments. Our reportable segments are aligned principally around the differences in products and services. The segment reporting excludes the allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income tax expense.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and has registered 4,200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Plan. The 2020 Plan authorizes discretionary grants of incentive stock options to employees of the Company and its qualifying subsidiaries. The 2020 Plan also authorizes discretionary grants of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents or other equity or cash-based awards to employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and to members of the Board of Directors of the Company. To the extent that an award under the 2020 Plan expires, is cancelled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash or is otherwise settled without issuance of the full number of shares to which it relates, will become or again be available for awards under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has complete, full and final authority to: designate participants; determine the types of awards to be granted; determine the terms of awards; interpret and administer the 2020 Plan and any agreements and awards thereunder.

Restricted stock unit activity under the 2020 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:


				Weighted Average
		Weighted Average		Remaining Contractual
	Amount	Grant Date Fair Value		Life (Years)

Granted	1,702,280		10.10		2.49
Outstanding June 30, 2021	1,702,280	$	10.10	$	2.49

The Company’s restricted stock units include 1,595,000 performance restricted stock units (“2021 PSUs”) that performance vested at the 200% milestone as of March 31, 2022. This is the highest level of performance condition to be achieved and results in total shares to be issued of 3,190,000, subject to a time vesting schedule of one-third on December 22, 2022 and two-thirds on December 22, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense for the 2021 PSUs of $3.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, given the achievement of the 200% performance milestone. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 0 expense was recognized for the 2021 PSUs given that the milestone achievements were not deemed probable for accounting purposes.

For the restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2020 Plan containing both service and performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense when the awards are considered probable of vesting. Restricted stock units are considered granted, and the service inception date begins, when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions between the Company and the employee have been established. The fair value of these awards is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains a 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and has registered 500,000 shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP. During the six-months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 30,099 shares pursuant to the ESPP. NaN shares were issued during the six month period ended June 30, 2021.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following management’s discussion and analysis together with the financial statements and related notes including Part II, Item 7 of AerSale’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements about AerSale’s business, operations and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding AerSale’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. AerSale’s future results and financial condition may differ materially from those currently anticipated because of the factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 Form 10-K.

The Company

We operate as a platform for serving the commercial aviation aftermarket sector. Our top executives have on average over 30 years of experience in aircraft and engine (“Flight Equipment”) management, sales and maintenance services, and are supported by an experienced management team. We have established a global purpose built and fully integrated aviation company focused on providing products and services that maximize the value of Flight Equipment in the middle to end of its operating life cycle.

We are a worldwide provider of aftermarket commercial aircraft, engines, and their parts to passenger and cargo airlines, leasing companies, original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), government and defense contractors, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) service providers. We report our activities in two business segments: Asset Management Solutions, comprised of activities that extract value from strategic asset acquisitions either as whole assets or by disassembling for used serviceable material (“USM”); and TechOps, comprised of MRO activities for aircraft and their components, sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products.

We focus on mid-life Flight Equipment and monetize them through our Asset Management Solutions segment. Asset Management Solutions’ activities include monetization of assets through the lease or sale of whole assets, or through disassembly activities in support of our USM-related activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at its retirement. We accomplish this by utilizing deep market and technical knowledge related to the management of Flight Equipment sales, leasing and MRO services. To extract value from the remaining flight time on whole assets, we provide flexible short-term (generally less than five years) leasing solutions of Flight Equipment to passenger and cargo operators across the globe. Once the value from the Flight Equipment’s flight time has been extracted, Flight Equipment is considered to be at or near the end of its useful life and is analyzed for return maximization as either whole asset sales or disassembled for sale as USM parts. Revenues from this segment are segregated between Aircraft and Engine depending on the asset type that generated the revenue. Lease revenues and the related depreciation from aircraft and engines installed on those aircrafts is recognized under the Aircraft category. Revenues from sales of whole aircraft and related cost of sales are allocated between the Aircraft and Engine categories based on the allocated cost basis of the asset sold.

Our TechOps segment provides internal and third-party aviation services, including internally developed engineered solutions, full heavy aircraft maintenance and modification, component MRO, as well as end-of-life disassembly services. Our MRO business also engages in longer-term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo and tanker conversions of aircraft, and aircraft storage. The TechOps segment also includes MRO services for landing gear, thrust reversers, hydraulic systems, and other aircraft components.

We utilize these capabilities to support our customers’ Flight Equipment, as well as to maintain and improve our owned Flight Equipment, which is subsequently sold or leased to our customers. These processes require a high degree of expertise on each individual aircraft or component that is being serviced. Our knowledge of these processes allows us to assist customers to comply with applicable regulatory and OEM requirements. A significant amount of skilled labor is required to support this process, which the Company has accumulated through its diversified offerings.

Table of Contents

In addition to our aircraft and USM parts offerings, we develop Engineered Solutions consisting of Supplemental Type Certificates (“STCs”) that can be installed on existing Flight Equipment to improve performance, comply with regulatory requirements, or improve safety. An example of these solutions is the AerSafe® product line, which we designed and obtained Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) approval to sell as a solution for compliance with the FAA’s fuel tank flammability regulations. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-OEM solutions to regulatory requirements and other technical challenges, often at reduced delivery time and cost for operators. In order to develop these products, we engage in research and development activities that are expensed as incurred.

Impact of Ukraine Conflict and Russia Sanctions

In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in an active conflict against the country. As a result, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. These sanctions include controls on the export and re-export of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, supply of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian persons or for use in Russia, subject to certain wind-down periods, and the imposition of restrictions on doing business with certain state-owned Russian customers and other investments and business activities in Russia. In order to comply with these sanctions, we ceased pursuing future business in Russia and terminated our three leases with operators doing business in Russia, successfully recovering two aircraft with one engine still unrecovered. Due to continued uncertainty in the ability to recover this engine from Russia or to collect insurance coverage we have fully impaired this asset. Although the current sanctions prohibit the continuation of certain business activities, the three leases referenced were contractually scheduled to expire in 2022 and therefore will have no material impact on our business or 2022 financial condition. While it is difficult to predict the short or long term implications of this conflict and sanctions on the global economy and the aviation industry, we intend to fully comply with all applicable sanctions and embargoes, and do not expect the current situation will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The most recent adopted and to be adopted accounting pronouncements are described in Note A to our condensed consolidated financial statements as well as in Item 8, Note B of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $47.7 million or 51.9% compared to 2021, driven by an increase of $54.2 million, or 90.0%, within Asset Management Solutions, and a decrease of $6.6 million, or 20.7%, within TechOps.

Asset Management Solutions

Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $54.2 million or 90.0%, to $114.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to a $32.5 million, or 134.3%, increase in revenues from Aircraft; and a $21.7 million, or 60.1%, increase in revenues from Engines. The increase in Aircraft revenues is primarily attributable to increased activity in the B747 and B757 product line as a result of higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $30.5 million, and higher USM part sales in the A320 and B747 product lines totaling $1.7 million. The increase in Engines revenue is primarily attributable to increased activity in the CF6-80 product line due to higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $22.3 million, offset by lower PW-4000 USM sales of in the amount of $1.4 million.

Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions increased $23.2 million or 56.3%, to $64.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the sales increase discussed above and the impairment of Flight Equipment in Russia of $0.9 million, offset by lower inventory obsolescence reserves of $3.0 million. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $31.1 million to $50.2 million, or 162.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to higher revenues generated for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as noted above.

Aircraft gross profit margins increased to 38.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 21.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher margin on Flight Equipment sales, and lower inventory obsolescence reserve of $3.8 million. Engine gross profit margin was 48.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase from 38.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily the result of higher margin on Flight Equipment sales, partly offset by higher inventory obsolescence reserve of $0.8 million and impairment of Flight Equipment of $0.9 million.

TechOps

Our revenue from TechOps decreased by $6.6 million or 20.7%, to $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues from services as a result of a shift in resources to support internal efforts on our cargo conversion projects on the B757 product line and AerAware test aircraft, as well as lower storage and related maintenance activities in our Roswell facility as operators continue to return aircraft into active status.

Table of Contents

Cost of sales in TechOps increased $0.3 million or 1.3%, to $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by higher cost of sales from our component repair facilities due to additional volume. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $6.8 million, or 58.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by lower gross profit of $6.5 million on MRO Services. Gross profit margin decreased to 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 36.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and was largely attributable to lower margin on MRO Services of 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 37.6% during the three month ended June 30, 2021, driven by lower margin maintenance work at our Roswell facility.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.5 million, or 38.5% to $23.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The increase was mostly related to share-based compensation expense of $3.5 million for performance restricted stock units not deemed probable of achieving performance targets as of the second quarter of 2021. The remaining increase relates to higher payroll expenses associated with market adjustments and additional headcount, as well as higher cost incurred on information technology and cybersecurity.

Payroll Support Program Proceeds

We recognized CARES Act proceeds of $8.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. No such proceeds have been received or recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we are in compliance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, Payroll Support Extension Law, and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

We account for our private warrants as a liability at their fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in our results from operations for the period. The fair value of our private warrants is determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $1.4 million benefit in fair value of warrant liability income, compared to a $0.4 million expense in the prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and was primarily related to unused balance fees on our amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) offset by higher interest income.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 19.3% compared to 23.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction.

Total revenues for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 increased $112.1 million or 74.5% compared to 2021, driven by an increase of $99.5 million, or 111.1%, within Asset Management Solutions, and an increase of $12.5 million, or 20.6%, within TechOps.

Asset Management Solutions

Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $99.5 million or 111.1%, to $189.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to a $62.4 million, or 113.8%, increase in revenues from Engines; and a $37.1 million, or 106.9%, increase in revenues from Aircraft. The increase in Engines revenues is primarily attributable to increased activity in the RB211 and CF6-80 product line as a result of higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $55.0 million, and higher leasing revenue in the CF6-80 product line totaling $4.8 million. The increase in Aircraft revenue is primarily attributable to increased activity in the B747 and B757 product line due to higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $35.9 million, offset by lower B737 Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $3.9 million.

Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions increased $50.7 million or 89.1%, to $107.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the sales increase discussed above and the impairment of Flight Equipment in Russia of $0.9 million, offset by lower inventory

obsolescence reserves of $3.0 million. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $48.8 million to $81.5 million, or 149.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to higher revenues generated for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as noted above.

Aircraft gross profit margins increased to 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 27.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher margin on Flight Equipment sales, and lower inventory obsolescence reserves of $3.8 million. Engine gross profit margin was 46.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase from 42.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily the result of higher margins on Flight Equipment sales and engine leasing activity, offset by higher inventory obsolescence reserves of $0.8 million and impairment of Flight Equipment of $0.9 million.

TechOps

Our revenue from TechOps increased by $12.5 million or 20.6%, to $73.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the sale of Flight Equipment, which was purchased and controlled by the TechOps segment prior to its ultimate sale; offset by lower revenues from services as a result of a shift in resources to support our cargo conversion projects on the B757 product line, as well as lower storage and related maintenance activities in our Roswell facility as operators continue to return aircraft into active status.

Cost of sales in TechOps increased $10.3 million or 23.9%, to $53.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by costs generated from the sale of Flight Equipment of $16.1 million; offset by lower cost of sales on MRO Services due to lower revenues as noted above. Gross profit in TechOps increased $2.3 million, or 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by the profit generated from the sale of Flight Equipment of $7.5 million, offset by lower gross profit of $5.3 million on MRO Services. Gross profit margin decreased to 27.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 29.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and was largely attributable to lower margin generated on MRO Services of 23.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 28.5% during the six month ended June 30, 2021, driven by lower margin maintenance work at our Roswell facility.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.0 million, or 56.1% to $47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period. The increase was mostly related to share-based compensation expense of $7.0 million for performance restricted stock units not deemed probable of achieving performance targets as of the second quarter of 2021. The remaining increase relates to higher payroll expenses associated with market adjustments and additional headcount, as well as higher cost incurred on information technology and cybersecurity.

Payroll Support Program Proceeds

We recognized CARES Act proceeds of $14.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. No such proceeds have been received or recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, Payroll Support Extension Law, and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Interest expense decreased to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and was primarily related to unused balance fees on our amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), offset by higher interest income on available cash balances.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 20.1% compared to 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had $197.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. We finance our growth through cash flows generated from operations and borrowings secured by our assets. There were no borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We had no outstanding balance on the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022, and we had $107.7 million of availability thereunder. We generated cash flows from operations of $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and generated cash for investing activities of $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We believe our equity base, internally generated funds, and existing availability under our debt facility are sufficient to maintain our level of operations through June 30, 2023. If an event occurs that would affect our ability to meet our capital requirements, our ability to continue to grow our asset base consistent with historical trends could be impaired and our future growth limited to that which can be funded from internally generated capital.

Cash Flows— Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash provided of $8.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase of $32.6 million was primarily due to higher net income and sales of Flight Equipment, offset by the timing of collections and applications of lease and purchase deposits and accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash provided of $3.6 million in the same period for 2021. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by the sale of Flight Equipment. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was also driven by the sale of Flight Equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash provided of $0.3 million in the same period for 2021. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the proceeds from the issuance and the sale of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is the result of proceeds from the exercise of public warrants.

Debt Obligations and Covenant Compliance

Our Revolving Credit Agreement provided commitments for a $110.0 million revolving credit facility and includes a $10.0 million sub facility for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice referred to as “swingline loans.” The maximum amount of such commitments available at any time for borrowings and letters of credit is determined according to a borrowing base calculation equal to the sum of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable reduced by the aggregate amount, if any, of trade payables of the loan parties, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Effective March 12, 2021, we amended our Revolving Credit Agreement to increase our commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement to a $150.0 million aggregate amount, subject to borrowing base limitations, and to extend the maturity date to March 12, 2024, subject to certain conditions.

As of June 30, 2022, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement and we had $107.7 million of availability thereunder. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. Refer to Note M – Commitments and Contingencies within our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a listing of our non-cancelable contractual obligations under operating leases.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase commitment with Universal Avionics, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, valued at $33 million for the acquisition of technical equipment for manufacturing our AerAware product. The commitment is expected to be satisfied by the fourth quarter of 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2021 Annual Report. We continually review these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Changes in the estimates and assumptions we use could have a material impact on our financial results. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes in our estimates and critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, we are subject to market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and sales. Our exposure to market risk includes fluctuating interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the risk that our earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in interest rates associated with borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates tied to LIBOR. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding variable rate borrowings under our Credit Facility. Therefore, a ten percent increase in the average interest rate affecting our variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2022 would not have had a material impact on our interest expense, financial position or continuing operations.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We primarily use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency in all markets in which we operate in order to reduce our foreign currency market risk. Only general office expense and payroll transactions for our international locations are denominated in local currency. A hypothetical ten percent devaluation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would not have had a material impact on our financial position or continuing operations as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2022.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not subject to any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes in the information reported under Part I – Item 1A “Risk Factors” contained in the Annual Report except as set forth below.

We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

We conduct business in a number of foreign countries, certain of which are politically unstable or subject to military or civil conflicts. Consequently, we are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including the following:

●

military conflicts, civil strife, and political risks;

●

export regulations that could erode profit margins or restrict exports;

Table of Contents

●

compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act of 2010, and other anti-bribery and anticorruption laws;

●

the burden and cost of compliance with foreign laws, treaties, and technical standards and changes in those regulations;

●

contract award and funding delays;

●

potential restrictions on transfers of funds;

●

import and export duties and value added taxes;

●

foreign exchange risk;

●

transportation delays and interruptions;

●

uncertainties arising from foreign local business practices and cultural considerations; and

●

changes in United States policies on trade relations and trade policy, including implementation of or changes in trade sanctions, tariffs, and embargoes.

Measures that we have or will adopt to reduce the potential impact of losses resulting from the risks of doing business internationally may not be adequate, and the regions in which we operate might not continue to be stable enough to allow us to operate profitably or at all.

The war in the Ukraine is creating an adverse climate for our business. The U.S. government has imposed enhanced export restrictions and controls on certain products and technology, as well as sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia, Belarus and parts of the Ukraine. The governments of other jurisdictions in which we may conduct business, such as the European Union, have also implemented sanctions or other restrictive measures. These sanctions include controls on the export and re-export of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, supply of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian persons or for use in Russia, subject to certain wind-down periods, and the imposition of restrictions on doing business with certain state-owned Russian customers and other investments and business activities in Russia. In order to comply with these sanctions, the Company ceased pursuing future business in Russia and terminated our three leases with operators doing business in Russia, successfully repossessing two aircraft with one engine still unrecovered. Due to continued uncertainty in the ability to recover this engine from Russia or to collect insurance coverage we have fully impaired this asset. These sanctions and enhanced export controls, as well as any responses from Russia may adversely affect the Company and/or our supply chain, business partners or customers, flight activity, demand for MRO and leasing services and the related macro environment. The economic and security conditions may limit the Company’s ability to provide its services or products to certain customers, as well as limit its ability to receive payments. The totality of these events, sanctions and restrictions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. These sanctions and restrictions may also jeopardize and adversely impact the availability and cost of insurance which covers any assets or operations that may be subject to these restrictions and enhanced sanctions.
