NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Company's annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote 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 disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2007 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, utilizing the specific lot identification method (except as noted subsequently). The Company is a distributor of goods that retain their value and may be purchased by its customers for an extended period of time. The Company has adopted the convention that any Inventory item for which the Company has not had any transactions within the past five years shall be reduced to a zero value. Inventory consists of finished goods for resale at September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, $121,654 was written off.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired as follows:
| Warehouse equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 – 39** |
| Computers | 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
** Shorter of life or lease term.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets”. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. In conjunction with the purchase of Freundlich assets and acquisition of DFAS in July 2006, goodwill was recognized at $2,443,114. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. The Company tests for impairment on an annual basis or based upon facts that may occur.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Sales to the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) represented approximately 47 percent of the Company’s total sales for the quarter and year ended September 30, 2008. No other customer accounted for greater than 10 percent of the Company’s total sales and the Company has no substantial concentrations of credit risk in its trade receivables.
Shipping and Handling Costs and Fees
The Company records freight cost on merchandise purchased to cost of goods sold and freight and delivery charges on sales to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and other stock-based compensation, which are included in diluted earnings per share.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases office and warehouse space for its operations under a lease which expires July 20, 2013. The Company has an option to extend the lease. The present rental rate is $12,400 per month.
On March 6, 2008, the Company guaranteed the performance of Freundlich in connection with the agreement, entered into on the same date, between Freundlich and Israel Discount Bank of New York (the “Agreement”). The Agreement, which has a maturity date of January 31, 2009, establishes a revolving funding facility which will allow Freundlich to receive up to three (3) million dollars. The funds will be made available to Freundlich in accordance with an advance formula which allows for the payment of up to seventy-five (75) per-cent of eligible accounts and fifty (50) per-cent of eligible inventory, up to a maximum inventory advance amount of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). Eligible accounts are those domestic accounts not outstanding for more than one hundred twenty (120) days and eligible inventory is inventory as determined by the bank, presently that which has had sales within the preceding sixty (60) months. The daily rate on the outstanding balance will be, at the Company’s option, the prime rate plus one (1) per cent or LIBOR plus three and three quarters (3.75) per cent. The balance is secured by a first lien position on all of Freundlich’s assets. The Agreement replaced the Company’s existing facility with Greater Bay Business Funding. At September 30, 2008, the Company had the availability to borrow an additional $225,632 under this facility.

| | $ | 2,872,506 | |
On February 27, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Andrew S. Prince, the Company’s President and CEO, as well as the options awarded in conjunction with the agreement. Included in Mr. Prince’s compensation package is a 7 year option (exercisable through September 1, 2014), vesting over the initial term of the Agreement, which runs through September 1, 2008, with automatic one year extensions if not terminated, permitting him to acquire a 7% ownership interest in the Company.
On February 27, 2008, the Board also approved the service options, with 7 year exercise periods from time of issuance, for present and future non-officer Board members at the rate of 5,000 shares upon joining the Board and at the rate of 2,000 shares per year of service; the number of shares being the shares of the Company in existence after the contemplated 150:1 combination of the Company’s shares.
The Company used the Black Scholes Model to value the options. The Company recognized an expense through September 30, 2008 of $4,378,930; this is a non-cash expense and is the total expense the Company will recognize with regard to these options.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" relating to Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. (the "Company") which represent the Company's current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company's operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate" or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy and the Company’s competition, certain of which are beyond the Company's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, or any of the other risks set out under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 10-KSB report for the year ended 2007 occur, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included herein. The information contained below includes statements of the Company's or management's beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of forward-looking statements, see the information set forth in the Introductory Note to this Quarterly Report under the caption "Forward Looking Statements" which information is incorporated herein by reference.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated statements and notes. Certain information and footnotes disclosers 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 disclosers are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein.
The Company has received and is responding to a comment letter from the SEC which was occasioned by the selection of the Company for a Sarbanes-Oxley review of its filings. To incorporate the suggestions by the SEC and issues which have come to the Company’s attention, the Company may, in the future, modify and re-file this and some prior reports. The issues do not include any items regarding the day to day operating results of the Company.
Plan of Operation and Discussion of Operations
The Company's operations are presently carried out through its Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich”) subsidiary.
Freundlich and, through it, the Company is a stocking distributor of aerospace quality, internally-threaded fasteners. Freundlich distributes high-quality, domestically-manufactured nut products that are used primarily for aerospace and military applications and for industrial/commercial applications that require a high level of certified and assured quality. The Company’s products are manufactured, by others, to exacting specifications or are made from raw material that provides strength and reliability required for aerospace applications.
Freundlich is a niche player in the North American aerospace fastener industry. The fastener distribution industry is highly fragmented with no single company holding a dominant position. Freundlich currently focuses exclusively on the distribution of aerospace quality nut products, serving as an authorized stocking distributor for seven of the premier nut manufacturers in the United States. Freundlich competes with numerous distributors who serve as authorized stocking distributors for the fastener manufacturers in its supplier base.
Freundlich is a one-stop source for standard, self-locking, semi-special and special nuts manufactured to several military, aerospace and equivalent specifications. Freundlich maintains an inventory of more than 6,400 SKUs comprised of more than 21 million parts of premium quality, brand name nut products. Management believes that Freundlich’s demonstrated ability to immediately fulfill a high percentage (nearly 50 percent) of customer orders from stock-on-hand provides Freundlich a distinct competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Freundlich sells its products to original equipment manufacturers, repair facilities, and other distributors in the aerospace industry and directly to the United States Department of Defense. Freundlich sells its products pursuant to written purchase orders from its customers. All products are shipped from Freundlich’s warehouse in Staten Island, New York via common carrier. During this quarter, sales to the Department of Defense represented 47%, of our total sales, for the year to date such sales represented 48% of our total sales. No other customer accounts for more than 10% of our sales.
The Company had a an equivalent third quarter this year compared to the same period last year, however its balance sheet position continued to improve. The first three quarters of the year have been substantially better than last year. This good performance has occurred in the face of both a continuing production under-capacity in the fastener industry and continuing increase in the cost of materials. These factors have increased lead-times for delivery and increased cost of products. This situation, particularly with regard to the under-capacity, is anticipated to continue in the immediate future. As discussed below, it is unclear when cost increases will abate. A portion of our increased sales is a result of our receipt of goods which have finally arrived after a long delay. The Company continues to have substantial challenges managing its inventory. It has also required an increase in investment in inventory – since replacing even the same item is done at a higher cost and, because of the longer lead times, it is desirable to maintain higher inventory levels when product can be obtained. The challenges presented cannot be overstated, particularly in view of the onerous tax rates associated with doing business from within New York City. Capital which would otherwise be utilized to employ persons to expand the business and make other investments must be utilized for inventory investment to stay even with inflation or tax payments. Accuracy of promised lead times from manufacturers and actual delivery times are low, making inventory scheduling and providing the level of customer service we would like to provide exceptionally problematic.
The Company increased consolidated revenues nearly 8% in the quarter to $2,763,986 from $2,559,554 in the comparable period last year. This is substantially in line with price increases the Company is experiencing in its replacement costs. Such increases are expected to continue for the near future, although it is unclear when or if the impact of the slowdown in the world economy will affect both commodity prices and, thereafter, product prices. For the year to date, the Company increased consolidated revenues over 25%, to $8,601,266 from $6,863,343 for the same period last year. While a portion of this increase can be attributed to the cost increases in our product line, it also demonstrates the continued strength in the demand from the markets we serve and increases in deliveries from our suppliers.
The Company’s gross profit of $823,493 is about 6% less than the gross profit of $873,381 for the same period last year. This gross profit is 30% of revenues as opposed to 34% for the same period last year. For the year to date, the gross profit is $2,717,856, 32% of revenues, versus $2,551,134, 37% of revenues last year. These reductions in margin were anticipated as the prior higher margins were the result of the use of older inventory which was obtained at lower prices and reduced margins on older government contracts. We anticipate that margins will trend slightly lower in coming quarters.
This Company is required to present the net income (loss) before taxes and interest number and net income applicable to common shares (“profit”) number shown, ($254,490) and ($384,622) respectively, for the quarter. This is in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company is concerned that this required presentation may be misleading. To provide a better perspective regarding ongoing operations, the Company is presenting in this paragraph only the non-GAAP measure of financials without the non cash stock based compensation expense. Using this measure, for the quarter, the Company would have shown a net income before taxes and interest of $270,978 and a profit of $140,846 after interest and taxes. The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP numbers being the non-cash expense of $525,468 required to be recognized due to the issuance of options. The same is true for the year to date. For the year to date the Company has, in accordance with GAAP, presented the net income (loss) before other expense (the other expense being interest and income taxes) number and net income applicable to common shares numbers shown, ($3,355,614) and ($3,884,707). For the year to date the Company would have shown a net income before taxes and interest of $1,023,316 and a profit of $494,223 after interest and taxes The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP numbers is the non-cash expense of $4,378,930 required to be recognized due to the issuance of options. The Company utilized the Black Scholes option pricing model which is commonly and widely used to determine the non-cash expense amount. The recognition of this expense does not have an impact on cash flows, although it does affect the income statement and balance sheet for financial reporting purposes. The Internal Revenue Service does not allow any portion of this non-cash expense to be utilized as a deduction to income for income tax purposes. This non-cash expense amount will not be reversed or taken into income if the options expire unexercised. Additionally, because there are currently insufficient authorized shares for all of the options issued, they all could not be exercised until the Company has sufficient authorized shares for such exercise. Last year, when there was no option expense recognition, for the same quarter and year to date, the Company had, for the quarter, a net income before taxes and interest of $437,727 (the decrease for this quarter and the year to date is due to increased General and Administrative expenses and professional fees due to additional staffing and compensation increases) a profit of $262,114 after interest and taxes, and for the same part of the year to date last year the Company had a net income before taxes and interest of $1,176,493 and a profit of $653,490 after interest and taxes
The Company incurred substantially lower interest expenses of $44,836 for the quarter, compared to $64,125 for the same period last year. For the year to date, interest expenses were lower than last year, $170,480 versus $180,916. The decrease for the quarter was mainly due to the Company having replaced Freundlich’s previously existing $1,000,000 credit facility on March 6, 2008 with a $3,000,000 credit facility, having a lower variable rate of interest (Prime plus 1% versus Prime plus 4%) and utilizing $1,000,000 of the new facility to pay off the Company’s previously existing convertible debt (without conversion or penalty) on March 31, 2008; the paid off debt had a substantially higher rate of interest (14%); additionally, the prime rate which is the basis of measurement for the Company’s variable rate debt, declined year over year. These are the same reasons the year to date interest is only slightly below above that paid last year - the substantially higher interest payments made by the Company in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 due to both the existence of the Company’s line of Credit for the entire quarter; last year the Company’s line of Credit was in place for only a portion of March; and the rate of interest on the Company’s $1,000,000 convertible debt increased during the first quarter last year, while it was at the 14% rate for the entire first quarter this year. The Company has also been paying down the principal of its subordinated secured loan which reduces the associated payments; this loan, which has $75,000 quarterly principal payments, is scheduled to be paid in full in February 2009 and has an interest rate of Prime plus 1% on the outstanding balance.
These actions will decrease the future interest payments required to be made by the Company. Additionally they have caused the debt liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet to all be short term, since the line of credit needs to be renewed within the year, presently by January 31, 2009, and the remaining portion of the subordinated note is due within the year.
At the close of the quarter, the Company had $225,632 available to draw under the credit facility.
When the Company put its refinancing of its line in place in March and subsequently paid its taxes for 2007 and repaid its convertible note at the end of March, it substantially reset its balance sheet. The March 31 2007 balance sheet is a more appropriate stepping off point for comparisons, but securities regulations require the Company to report comparisons with the 2007 end of year numbers, so both as well as the changes from the prior quarter are presented.
The Company’s cash and equivalents at the end of the quarter, $423,456, which is nearly $275,000 more than the $154,709 at the end of last year although they are nearly $75,000 lower than last quarter and approximately $130,000 lower than the $554,862 at March 31, 2008. This cash has been realigned as debt has been reduced.
The Company’s accounts receivable at the end of the quarter were $950,618 which is almost $125,000 more than the $837,552 at the end of last year although it is a reduction of almost $35,000 from last quarter and approximately $315,000 less than the $1,265,610 at March 31, 2008. The Company has not experienced any unusual collection problems and the high receivable number at March 31 reflected both a high pace of activity in the first quarter as well as a large outstanding amount due from the Government which was delayed pending approvals and has been collected.
The Company’s inventory totaled $4,431,470 at the end of the quarter. Inventory had been $3,885,332 at year end 2007, bringing the total year to date investment in inventory to over $540,000. This is an investment of nearly $40,000 during the quarter. The inventory stood at $4,393,327 at the beginning of the quarter. The six month investment is nearly $130,000 since the inventory stood at $4,303,446 at March 31, 2008, a total investment of for the six months through the end of this period. As can be seen from these figures, the pace of delivery, as reflected in the inventory, is uneven. Reflecting the long lead times for the receipt of its products, which continue to persist, the Company has more than the amount of its inventory on backorder to better enable it to meet the needs of its customers.
The Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $370,321 at the end of the quarter. This is a decrease of over $235,000 from the $606,627 at the end of last year. It was also a decrease of over $235,000 from the $507,317 at the end of last quarter and a decrease of almost $545,000 from the $914,601 at March 31. The accounts payable portion, $343,514, was reduced by over $180,000 from the $525,407 at the end of last year; reduced by over $135,000 from $481,044 last quarter and by over $520,000 from $867,723 at March 31, 2008. The, accrued expenses portion, $26,807, was reduced by nearly $55,000 from the $81,220 at the end of last year; reduced by approximately $500 from $26,273 last quarter and over $20,000 from $46,878 at March 31, 2008. The Company has used available cash above its desired safety level to take advantage of discounts with certain of its suppliers, which, at present interest rates, provides it a savings in preference to paying down the balance on its line of credit. The Company is usually in a position to take advantage of the discounts offered. The Company continues to evaluate and apply its resources where it believes it will achieve the best overall benefit.
The Company utilized a portion of its expanded line of credit to pay its estimate of income taxes for 2007 on the date tax payments were due date in March 2008. The estimated taxes for 2007 had been accrued as a payable at the end of 2007. The Company is now paying quarterly taxes current when due. Income taxes payable shows the difference between the total estimated income taxes payable through the end of the quarter and the total income tax payments made through the end of the quarter.
The Company’s net assets (total assets less total liabilities) at the end of the quarter, $5,214,236, were nearly $500,000 greater than the $4,720,013 at the end of last year. This continues the growth in net assets and is a growth of over $140,000 from last quarter, when net assets were $5,073,390 and nearly $300,000 from the $4,917,861 on March 31, 2008. This reflects the continued strong operations of the Company which is necessary in view of the investment required in inventory as well as its subordinated debt service obligation, which is a principle repayment of $75,000 per quarter through the first quarter of 2009.
The Company does not presently anticipate any material additional capital expenditures on plant and equipment for existing operations during 2008 and the present cash flow from the activities of Freundlich and its financing facility is sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements, assuming it receives inventory in orderly fashion as has been the case; however, additional financing will be necessary to more rapidly increase operations and expand operations.
The Company believes it can expand its business with its present staff until acquisitions warrant additional personnel. Freundlich does not presently anticipate making further hires; however, it is possible that one or two additional staff members may be retained should business activity warrant it. Presently many Company level activities are either outsourced or handled at the Freundlich level.
The Company has reached agreement with its investors in its financing of July 20, 2006, further extending the date by which the Company is required to file a registration statement effecting a 150:1 reverse split through December 15, 2008. The Company and the affected investors agree that it is in the best interests of the Company that the deferral continues.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company considers the accounting policies related to revenue and related cost recognition, the valuation of inventory, the valuation of goodwill, transactions related to our debt and equity financing activity, to be critical to the understanding of our results of operations. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, please see the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Company has made what it considers to be particularly subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and where these estimates can significantly impact the Company’s financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This item is not required for smaller reporting companies, and, if it were required, is not applicable to the Company’s present operations.
ITEM 4 & 4T CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the ("Exchange Act"). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company's disclosure control objectives. The Company's Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the period covered by this 10-Q. Due to the size of the Company and as a result of the implementation of the Company’s integrated financial reporting system, items of note are appropriately brought to the attention of the Company’s CEO for appropriate disclosure.
In addition, the Company's Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer evaluated all changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter (which is the period covered by this 10-Q) and there have been no changes in its internal controls during the Company's last fiscal quarter, or from the date of their last evaluation, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those internal controls over financial reporting.
