Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair representation have been included.  Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements in order to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Standards
 
In July 2012, an update was made by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to reduce the cost and complexity related to testing of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment.  This amendment allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative test.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  The Company performs its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test during the fourth quarter.  The adoption is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
2.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fair Value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  A fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

June 30, 2012
 
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Fair values of the Company’s long-term obligations approximate their carrying values as the applicable interest rates approximate the current market rates.
 
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, which is included in cash and cash equivalents.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at June 30, 2012.

(2)
During the first quarter of 2011, a triggering event occurred with regard to a certain proprietary technology intangible asset as a result of a failure to conclude a possible sale of a product line.  The Company did not have plans to utilize this technology in the near term and believed the current market for the product line to be limited; thus, utilizing the income approach with a level 3 valuation, the Company expected zero cash flows.  As such, a full impairment loss of $1,163 was recognized as of March 31, 2011.  The impairment loss was recognized in the Aerostructures segment in the selling, general and administrative expenses line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The Company makes forward-looking statements in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs about future events and financial performance.  When used in this report, the words “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “goal,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will” or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results.  Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those referred to under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”) and otherwise described in the Company’s periodic filings and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.  In addition, actual results could differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Investors should, however, review additional disclosures made by the Company from time to time in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read completely, in conjunction with our 2011 Form 10-K and with the understanding that the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from what the Company expects.  All forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are qualified by these cautionary statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions.  (See Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

The Company believes that certain significant accounting estimates have the potential to have a more significant impact on the financial statements either because of the significance of the financial statements to which they relate or because they involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.  A summary of such critical accounting estimates can be found in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

 Overview

We are a leading provider of design engineering services and supplier of structural assemblies, kits and components to the aerospace, defense and technology markets.  We primarily sell our products and services to the large commercial aircraft, corporate and regional aircraft, and military markets.  Historically, our business was primarily dependent on the large commercial aircraft market, specifically with one principal customer.  In order to diversify our product and customer base, we implemented an acquisition and marketing strategy in the late 1990s that has broadened the number of industries to which we sell our products and services and, within the aerospace industry, diversified our customer base to reduce our dependence on any one principal customer.  Our acquisitions of D3 in 2007 and Intec in 2009 were in furtherance of our growth strategy of increasing the array of value-added services and solutions that we offer to our customers.  We believe that original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 aerospace companies will continue the trend of selecting their suppliers based upon the breadth of more complex and sophisticated design and manufacturing capabilities and value-added services and the ability of their suppliers to manage large production programs.

Large commercial aircraft generated net sales of $18.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 10.4%.  Boeing production levels have increased across all major platforms.  Sales related to the 737, 747 and 777 platforms increased to $8.4 million, $4.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012 from $7.1 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011.  Net sales of aftermarket wing modification products were $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, down from $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 due to lower demand which is expected to continue during 2012.
 
Net sales of components for corporate and regional aircraft were $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 19.2%.  This increase was primarily driven by increased production demand for the G650 aircraft at Gulfstream with net sales reaching $3.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Net sales related to the G450/G550 aircraft were $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase from $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Net sales related to the G280 aircraft increased to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2011.

 
Military products generated $8.4 million of net sales for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 5.6%.  Net sales related to the Blackhawk program decreased to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Other products generated $2.4 million in net sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 20.0%.  The decrease was partially due to the discontinuance of one program in 2012 at the Company’s Mexicali plant that had $0.9 million in sales during the second quarter of 2011.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold includes the Company’s labor, material and overhead costs associated with the manufacture of inventory sold to customers.  Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2012 was $32.1 million compared to $29.6 million for the second quarter of 2011.  The $2.5 million increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the higher sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter in 2011.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $11.7 million (26.7% of net sales) compared to $11.2 million (27.5% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2011.  The sales mix shift primarily contributed to the decline in gross profit margin percentage with increased sales on less mature, less profitable work statements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.8 million (15.5% of net sales) for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $6.7 million (16.4% of net sales) for the second quarter of 2011.  The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased sales.

Engineering Services Segment

Net Sales.  Net sales for the Engineering Services segment were $26.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $23.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 13.0%.  The Engineering Services segment generates revenue primarily through the billing of our employees’ time spent on customer projects and has experienced increased demand due to growth in the number of new programs currently in development in the Company’s aerospace segments.  As a result of this growth, the Company’s Engineering Services segment’s staff, including agency personnel, has increased from 434 at December 31, 2011 to 459 at June 30, 2012.  The following table specifies the amount of the Engineering Services segment’s net sales by category for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales represented by each category.

Net sales for services for large commercial aircraft were $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, down 19.0% from $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.  This decrease is partially due to the winding down of a Boeing 747-8 project, which decreased revenue by $1.1 million and an Airbus A350 project which decreased revenue by $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.  These declines were partially offset by an increase on the nacelle systems development program to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Net sales for services supporting corporate and regional aircraft were $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 26.9%.  This increase primarily resulted from the engineering efforts related to work statements for the Bombardier Lear Jet L-85 which generated revenue of $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, up from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 and a spaceship program which generated $0.8 million in additional revenue in 2012.  This increase was offset by a $1.6 million decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2012 on a business jet platform and $0.4 million decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2012 on the Mitsubishi Regional Jet program as the design phase of these projects were maturing compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Net sales of services for military programs were $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, up 95.7% from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2011.  This increase was primarily from services in support of the Boeing Tanker program, which increased $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 from the second quarter of 2011, and services in support of the KC-390 design-build program, which generated revenue of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2012.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues related to completion in 2011 of our current participation on the Joint Strike Fighter, which generated $1.1 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2011.

 
Net sales related to design and delivery of tooling on various programs supporting commercial aircraft were $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2012, down 51.5%, from $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The project supporting the 787 shipping fixtures contributed to this decline with revenues of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, as this project is also maturing.  The remainder of the reduction was due to lowered tooling support required for three additional customers.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold consists primarily of labor and labor related costs and for the second quarter of 2012 was $20.8 million compared to $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2011.  The $1.8 million increase is primarily attributable to an increase in head count and overtime made in an effort to meet our increased project demands.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $5.3 million (20.3% of net sales) compared to $4.1 million (17.7% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2011.  The increase in gross profit is due to the increase in revenue in the current quarter and the prior year quarter including $0.5 million of a $0.7 million charge on the Mitsubishi Regional Jet.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $2.1 million, or 8.0% of net sales, compared to $1.8 million, or 7.8% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2011.

Non-segment Expenses

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, largely due to higher fees on our increased credit facility.  Higher interest costs are anticipated in the third and fourth quarter of 2012 as we enter into new financing for equipment purchases.
 
Income Tax Expense.  During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.6 million compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 were 34.0% and 34.1%, respectively.  The Company expects its effective tax rate for the full year 2012 to be approximately 35.0%.

Net sales of products used in large commercial aircraft were $34.6 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $30.7 million for the first six months of 2011, an increase of 12.7%.  Boeing production levels have increased across all major platforms.  Sales related to the 737, 747 and 777 platforms increased to $15.5 million, $8.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2012 from $13.8 million, $4.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2011.  These increases were offset by a $2.6 million decline in net sales of 767 aftermarket wing modification products to $2.6 million in the first six months of 2012 from $5.2 million in the first six months of 2011 due to lower demand for retrofit of the existing fleet.
 
Net sales of components for corporate and regional aircraft were $28.3 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $24.8 million for the first six months of 2011, an increase of 14.1%.  This increase was primarily driven by the G650 aircraft at Gulfstream with net sales related to this aircraft reaching $6.2 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $3.1 million in the first six months of 2011.
 
Military products generated $17.5 million of net sales in the first six months of 2012 compared to $17.9 million in the first six months of 2011, a decrease of 2.2%.  This decrease was due to a modest decline of the Blackhawk program, which generated net sales of $14.8 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $15.1 million in the first six months of 2011.
 
Other products generated $4.9 million in net sales in the first six months of 2012 compared to $6.8 million in the first six months of 2011, a decrease of 27.9%.  This decrease was primarily due to the discontinuance of one program in the first six months of 2012 at the Company’s Mexicali plant that generated $1.6 million in sales during the first six months of 2011.
 
Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2012 was $61.8 million compared to $58.3 million for the first six months of 2011.  The $3.5 million increase was primarily due to higher sales and the addition of personnel to meet growth demands.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 was $23.5 million (27.5% of net sales) compared to $21.9 million (27.3% of net sales) in the first six months of 2011.  There were higher production levels in the first six months of 2012 which allowed for the allocation of fixed costs to this larger production base, thus improving margins.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.9 million (16.3% of net sales) for the first six months of 2012 compared to $13.2 million (16.5% of net sales) for the first six months of 2011.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additions of personnel in anticipation of growth.
 
Engineering Services Segment
 
Net Sales.  Net sales for the Engineering Services segment were $51.6 million for the first six months of 2012 as compared to $45.6 million for the first six months of 2011, an increase of 13.2%.  The following table specifies the amount of the Engineering Services segment’s net sales by category for the first six months of 2012 and 2011 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales represented by each category.

Net sales for services for large commercial aircraft were approximately $14.5 million in the first six months of 2012, down 17.1%, from $17.5 million in the first six months of 2011.  The decrease primarily resulted from reduced requirements for three programs.  The Airbus 350 platform and 747-8 platform revenues each decreased by $2.1 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 and the Boeing integrated testing project’s revenue decreased by $1.1 million compared to the first six months of 2011.  These decreases were offset by an increase on the nacelle systems development program to $2.7 million in the first six months of 2012 from $0.8 million in the first six months of 2011.

Net sales for services supporting corporate and regional aircraft, the majority of which relates to the development of new and re-designed aircraft, were $16.5 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $12.9 million for the first six months of 2011, an increase of 27.9%.  Net sales for the development of the Bombardier Lear Jet L-85 generated $7.6 million higher revenue in the first six months of 2012 primarily due to increased engineering efforts.  An increase of $1.6 million in the first six months of 2012 was also generated by a new work statement with a spaceship company.  These increases were offset in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 by a $2.0 million decline in net sales for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet and a $3.1 million decrease in another business jet platform as the design phase of these projects are maturing.
 
Net sales of services for military programs were $17.3 million in the first six months of 2012, up 90.1%, from $9.1 million in the first six months of 2011.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in revenues related to the Boeing Tanker program, which generated $9.7 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2011.  The new KC-390 design-build program also added $2.2 million in revenue for the first six months of 2012.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our participation on the Joint Strike Fighter, which generated no revenue in first six months of 2012 compared to $2.3 million in revenue in the first six months of 2011.

Net sales related to design and delivery of tooling on various programs supporting commercial aircraft were $3.3 million for the first six months of 2012, down 45.9%, as compared to $6.1 million in the first six months of 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to the 747 large cargo freighter tooling project which generated $2.5 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $3.6 million in the first six months of 2011.  Declines of $0.7 million each were also noted in work statements related to two additional customers.
 
Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2012 was $41.6 million compared to $37.6 million for the first six months of 2011.  Our increased sales demand led us to hire additional project engineers, which resulted in an increase of $5.0 million in salary and fringe benefit costs in the first six months of 2012.  This was offset by a decrease in the first six months of 2012 of $1.6 million in various subcontract costs.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 was $10.0 million (19.4% of net sales) compared to $8.0 million (17.5% of net sales) in the first six months of 2011.  The increase in gross profit from the first six months of 2012 to the first six months of 2011 was due to higher sales volume.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2012 were $4.1 million (7.9% of net sales) compared to $4.0 million (8.8% of net sales) in the first six months of 2011.
 
Non-segment Expenses
 
Interest Expense, net.  Net interest expense was $0.5 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $0.3 million for the first six months of 2011.  The net increase is largely due to higher fees on our increased credit facility.
 
Other Expense, net.  Other expense net decreased to $0.1 million in the first six months of 2012 from $0.6 million expense in the first six months of 2011.  This change resulted from a $0.6 million non-recurring cost related to potential financing transactions that we decided not to pursue in 2011.
 
Income Tax Expense.  During the first six months of 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $5.2 million compared to $3.6 million in the first six months of 2011.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 34.6% and 30.3%, respectively.  This increase reflects a $0.4 million lower tax expense in 2011 due to a non-taxable gain associated with the write off of contingent consideration discussed in Note 2 related to the Intec acquisition.  Higher effective tax rates are also anticipated for 2012 as Congress has not renewed credits that have benefited the Company in prior years.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first six months of 2012, our operating activities generated $3.9 million in cash, compared to $9.4 million in the first six months of 2011.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2012 was unfavorably impacted by increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory, as production and sales levels increased in the month of June.  These increases were offset by increases in the current income tax liability due to increased taxable income, a higher expected income tax rate and increased accrued expenses for payroll related liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million for the first six months of 2012, compared to $4.6 million for the first six months of 2011.  Cash used in the first six months of 2012 and 2011 were primarily for the acquisition of capital equipment largely due to investments we made to improve our production capabilities and facility expansion.

Net cash provided by financing activities primarily consists of equipment notes that were executed late in the second quarter of 2012 and mature in May 2019.

The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility which allows borrowings up to $125.0 million, subject to certain borrowing capacity limitations, including a limit based on a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  Our available borrowing capacity at June 30, 2012 was $109.2 million, of which none was utilized.  The maturity date of the credit facility is September 12, 2016.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company was, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with all of its financial and non-financial covenants.

We expect to meet our ongoing working capital, acquisition, debt service, and capital expenditure needs presently and for the next twelve months from a combination of our cash on hand, cash flow from operating activities and cash available under our credit facility, which is not scheduled to mature until September 2016.  Our capital budget as of June 30, 2012 anticipates capital expenditures for 2012 of approximately $22.0 to $24.0 million.  The Company continues to search for complementary acquisitions and design build programs which may require capital to be invested.
