INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-K 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-K 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 herein 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.

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Organizational History

 

Precision Aerospace Components (Precision Aerospace or the “Company”) was previously known as Jordan 1 Holdings Company (“Jordan 1”) and was incorporated in Delaware on December 28, 2005.  Jordan 1 is the successor to Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. ("Gasel"), a corporation that was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on January 27, 1988.

 

Gasel was a trucking company that filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, in May 2003.  On December 12, 2005, a final plan of reorganization was approved by the court and the bankruptcy proceeding was dismissed.

 

On December 30, 2005, Gasel entered into a private sale of stock under a Stock Purchase Agreement with Venture Fund I, Inc., a Nevada corporation owned and controlled by accredited investor Ruth Shepley (“Shepley”), of Houston, Texas.  

 

Subsequent to December 30, 2005, Jordan 1 did not engage in any business activity until July 20, 2006 when it entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the equity of Delaware Fastener Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DFAC”), pursuant to an exchange agreement with the stockholders of DFAC.  Contemporaneously, DFAC acquired the assets, subject to certain liabilities, of Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich Supply”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated May 24, 2006 among DFAC, Freundlich Supply, and Michael Freundlich.  The purchase of the assets was financed by the proceeds from the sale by the Company of its securities pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).  As a result of the Exchange Agreement, DFAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, the Company changed its name to Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and DFAC changed its name to Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich”).

 

On May 25, 2012, the Company acquired the assets and certain of the liabilities of Fastener Distribution and Marketing Company, Inc., which was comprised of two fastener distribution companies, Aero-Missile Components, Inc. and Creative Assembly Systems, Inc.

 

Overview of Business

 

Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) distributes high-quality, predominantly domestically-manufactured, technically complex, nut and bolt products and a proprietary locking washer product that are used primarily for aerospace and military applications and for industrial/commercial applications that require a high level of certified and assured quality. Its origins can be traced to the founding of Freundlich Supply Company Inc. in 1938.

 

4
 

 

 

The Company's operations are carried out through its wholly-owned distribution subsidiaries, Aero-Missile Components, Inc. (“Aero-Missile”), Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich”), and Creative Assembly Systems, Inc. (Creative Assembly) and Tiger-Tight Corp. (“Tiger-Tight”). Aero-Missile and Freundlich both have stocking distributor relationships with a number of United States fastener manufacturers and sell high technology, specially engineered fasteners - nuts and bolts - predominantly to all levels of the aviation industries (original equipment manufacturers, maintenance and repair organizations, and other distributors as well as to the United States Department of Defense (“Department of Defense”). Creative Assembly Systems, Inc. (“Creative Assembly”) is a value added distributor of proprietary and specialty fasteners, primarily serving the heavy truck, automotive, appliance, and material handling industries. Tiger-Tight is the exclusive North American master distributor of the Tiger-Tight locking washer. Tiger-Tight washers are used in demanding vibration applications and the Company believes they have significant advantages in comparison to competitive products. Tiger-Tight products are now available and under evaluation by several major US corporations, and are being used aboard the SpaceX Dragon – the first civilian space craft to dock and return from the International Space Station.

 

The Company’s products are manufactured, by others, to exacting specifications and are made from materials that provide the strength and reliability required for their aerospace and industrial applications.

 

In the coming year, the Company anticipates widespread distribution of Tiger-tight lock washers under an exclusive distribution agreement providing the Company master distribution rights of the product in North America.  The washers, which the Company believes are superior to any competitive product, are now readily available and manufactured in the USA; while the Company carries a full line, special orders can be accommodated. The Company also anticipates significant additional revenues from a mature product having high market acceptance.

 

Industry Overview

 

The fastener distribution industry is highly fragmented.  No one company holds a dominant position.  This is primarily caused by the varied uses of fasteners and the size of the industry.  Precision competes with the numerous fastener distributors which serve as authorized stocking distributors for one or more of the manufacturers in the Company’s supplier base.  Precision believes that the depth of its inventory represents a competitive advantage.  As a stocking distributor, the Company has employed a business model of maintaining levels of inventory on hand or on order with its suppliers that can satisfy its customers’ projected needs.  The demanding inspection, tracking and re-inspection requirements imposed on distributors of aviation fasteners by major consumers create a barrier to new entrants to the Company’s portion of the aerospace fastener distribution market. Regulatory requirements which require manufacturer certifications create a barrier to new supplier entry into the aerospace fastener manufacturing business beyond the usual investment and patent barriers faced by new entrants to other industries. While the industry has occasionally been characterized by periods of production under-capacity, lead times in 2012 were generally stabilized at expected levels which reflect true fabrication requirements.

 

Customers

 

In 2012, the Company sold approximately 22% of its products to the Department of Defense. All of these products were sold for maintenance, repair and operations functions, were shipped to various government installations across the United States and were sold for many different government programs. For 2011, sales to the Department of Defense represented approximately 35% of total sales. The past two years have been characterized by Department of Defense purchases which are lower than those of the immediate past.

 

In 2012, the Company sold approximately 11% of its products to PACCAR, Inc. All of these products were sold for manufacturing and repairs and maintenance of trucks, were shipped to various locations across the United States. The Company did not have any sales to PACCAR in 2011.

 

No other customers represented more than 10 percent of total sales in 2012 and 2011.

 

Competition

 

The fastener distribution industry as a whole is highly fragmented, as is the aviation segment of the industry. No one company holds a dominant position.  This is primarily caused by the varied uses of fasteners and the size of the industry.

 

Few barriers to entry exist for fastener distributors generally.  However, the business model employed by the Company in its aerospace operations promotes competitive differences favoring the Company and collectively not generally seen in the industry.

·The Company’s quality system is certified to AS9100:2009, Rev. C, AS9120:2009 and ISO 9001:2008 quality measures.  Since quality is an important measure of aerospace suppliers, the Company strives to maintain its quality system to the highest standards in the industry.
·As an authorized stocking distributor for the premier domestic manufacturers, the Company is able to maintain relationships with customers not generally available to the industry. Most manufacturers are not expanding their network of authorized distributors.
·As a certified government supplier, i.e. because it is listed on the “Qualified Supplier/Manufacturer List,” the Company does not have to compete with companies not so listed.

 

  

Government Regulation

 

The Company is approved as a “qualified supplier” by the Department of Defense, and, as such, can provide certain critical parts that other suppliers not so approved cannot supply.

 

The Fastener Quality Act (“FQA”) and its implementing regulations issued by the United States Department of Commerce require certain distributors of fasteners to, among other things, maintain lot traceability for all of their products sold.  This requires that companies like Precision keep their books and records for aerospace parts such that they can trace the origin of each item sold back to the manufacturer from which the item was purchased.  The FQA imposes additional requirements on the manufacturers of the subject parts and on the users.  Because of the demands of the industry, its customers, and its own quality systems, the Company maintains strict lot traceability for each item in its aerospace inventory, and has done so for many years.

 

Employees

 

The Company has 50 employees, all of whom are full time employees.  We believe our employee relations are very good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  An investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our securities.  If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.  You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

Fluctuations in our operating results and announcements and developments concerning our business affect our stock price.

 

Our quarterly operating results, the number of stockholders desiring to sell their shares, changes in general economic conditions and the financial markets, the execution of new contracts and the completion of existing agreements and other developments affecting us, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

 

We may not be able to obtain necessary additional capital which could adversely impact our operations.

 

Unless the Company can increase its investment in inventory and meet operational expenses with the existing sources of funds we have available, we may need access to additional financing to grow our sales.  Such additional financing, whether from external sources or related parties, may not be available if needed or on favorable terms.  Our inability to obtain adequate financing will adversely affect the Company’s pace of business operations or could create liquidity and cash flow problems.  This could be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.

 

Our directors are involved in other businesses which may cause them to devote less time to our business.

 

Our directors' involvement with other businesses may cause them to allocate their time and services between us and other entities.  Consequently, they may give priority to other matters over our needs which may materially cause us to lose their services temporarily which could affect our operations and profitability.

 

We could fail to attract or retain key personnel, which could be detrimental to our operations

 

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives, employees and consultants.  The loss of the services of a key executive, employee or consultant could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement.  Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues.  To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources, we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff.

 

We may not be able to grow through acquisitions.

 

In addition to our planned growth through the development of our business, an important part of our growth strategy is to expand our business and to acquire other businesses in related industries.  Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities or a combination of cash and securities.  To the extent that we require cash, we may have to borrow the funds or sell equity securities.  Any issuance of equity as a portion of the purchase price or any sale of equity, to the extent that we are able to sell equity, to raise funds to enable us to pay the purchase price would result in dilution to our stockholders.  We have no commitments from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash necessary to complete an acquisition.  If we fail to make any acquisitions, our future growth may be limited.  As of the date of this report, we do not have any agreement as to any acquisition.  Further, any acquisition may be subject to government regulations.

 

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own.  In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us.  We cannot predict the affect expansion may have on our core business.  Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.  In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

·the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
·the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
·the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;
·difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;

  

7
 

 

 

·difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
·the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
·the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
·the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired; and
·potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing or sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

  

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified.  These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We are dependent on a few major industries.

 

We are dependent on the aerospace, defense and trucking industries for a majority of our revenue and, as a result, our business will be negatively impacted by any decline in those industries.

 

We face risks relating to government contracts.

 

There are inherent risks in contracting with the U.S. government, including risks that are peculiar to the defense industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, including changes in the Department of Defense’s procurement policies and requirements.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENT

 

There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible preferred stock that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2012 there were 5,945,378 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock which, are convertible into 9,239,118 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB listing which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholder to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and the price of our shares may fluctuate significantly, which cumulatively may affect shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock

 

There has been a limited public market for our common stock.  A more active trading market for our common stock may not develop.  An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all.  Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance.  In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.  These factors may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of the Company's common stock.

 

8
 

 

  

Our common stock may be affected by sales of short sellers, which may affect shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock

 

As stated above, our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations.  These fluctuations could cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that the Company will have poor results in the future.  The market for our stock may not be stable or appreciate over time and the sale of our common stock may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of the Company's common stock.

 

Because we may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, our investors may have difficulty in selling their shares of our common stock.

 

“Penny Stock” is shares of stock:

 

·With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
·That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
·Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or
·Of issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.

 

Our Common Stock is presently deemed to be Penny Stock.

 

If our stock price continues to be less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, (Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors.  These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors.  This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.  This could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks.  Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.

 

According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

·Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
·Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

This may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.

 

The protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not presently apply to issuers of Penny Stock Shares. Our shares are Penny Stock shares.

 

Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks.  As a result, as long as our shares continue to be a Penny Stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any proceeding based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed.  Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires increased control over financial reporting requirements, including documentation and testing of our internal control procedures in order to satisfy its requirements, annual management assessments of the effectiveness of such internal controls. This section may become fully applicable to us in the future resulting in significantly increased cost due to the additional third party report required.  Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

 

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

 

Our principal executive office and the offices and distribution center of Freundlich and Aero-Missile is located at 351 Camer Dr., Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020.  The space is leased on a month to month basis by the Company for approximately $7,800 per month.  We are currently negotiating a long term lease with the landlord.  In total, the Company occupies six (6) locations ranging in size but mostly warehouse space. Three (3) of these locations (including our principle offices) are month to month and the other three (3) have long term leases which have expirations ranging from November 2013 to February 2016. All of the space we currently occupy is sufficient for our present and anticipated needs.

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.001 par value. As of February 23, 2012, there were 5 holders of record and 5,945,378 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. Each preferred share is convertible into 1.554 shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 11, 2012, 4,608,675 shares of the Series A preferred stock were exchanged for the same number of shares of Series C preferred stock and did not result in any accounting consequences as this transaction was considered a “value for value” exchange.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 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 Annual Report under the caption "Forward Looking Statements" which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

A description of the Company’s operations and marketplace is contained in section 1 of this report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During 2012, in conjunction with its acquisition of the assets within Aero Missile and Creative Assembly, the Company recapitalized its existing debt and paid for the acquisition with a new credit facility consisting of a $2.5 million term loan and a $10 million revolving loan.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates, in each case plus a specified margin: (i) the prime lending rate, but not less than 3.25%, or (ii) adjusted one-month LIBOR, but not less than plus 3.5%. The interest margin for each such type of borrowing varies from 1.50% to 7.60%, depending on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. At the end of 2012, the interest rate on the term loan was 9.10% and on the revolving loan 5.00%.

 

The revolving funding facility allows for draws up to $10,000,000 against eligible assets. The facility allows for draws of up to eighty-five (85) percent of eligible accounts receivable or to eighty-five (85) percent of eligible inventory up to a maximum inventory advance amount of six million five hundred thousand dollars ($6,500,000); however the outstanding amount against eligible inventory is further limited to, an amount equal to 1.957 times the amount which can be drawn against the eligible accounts receivable (this amount will be reduced to 1.850 in March 2013). Eligible accounts receivable are, generally, those domestic accounts not outstanding for more than ninety (90) days or, for government accounts one hundred twenty (120) days and eligible inventory is inventory as determined by the bank, presently the net orderly liquidation value as determined by the bank.

 

The loan balance is secured by a first lien position on all of the Company’s assets. The loan balance bears interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates, in each case plus a specified margin: (i) the prime lending rate, but not less than 3.25%, plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or (ii) adjusted one-month LIBOR but not less than 1.5%, plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50%. The interest margin for each such type of borrowing varies depending on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The facility is due May 25, 2015.

 

As of December 31, 2012, approximately $7,100,000 was outstanding at an interest rate of 5.00%. The Company monitors the availability on a daily basis and requests borrowings based on the amount available and our short term cash needs. The Company usually will borrow most of the remaining availability and after each borrowing, the total amount remaining available will be minimal. As of December 31, 2012, the amount remaining available was minimal. The facility expires May 25, 2016.

 

The principal amount of the $2,500 000 term loan will be due and payable in 24 monthly installments of approximately $104,200, beginning on June 1, 2013, subject to acceleration upon an event of default. The outstanding principal amount of any borrowings under the Revolving Loan will be due and payable on May 25, 2015, subject to an earlier maturity date upon an event of default. At December 31, 2011 the Company had no long term debt.

 

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary covenants for financings of this type, including, among other things: (i) requirements to deliver financial statements, other reports and notices; (ii) restrictions on indebtedness; (iii) restrictions on dividends, distributions and redemptions of equity and repayment of subordinated indebtedness; (iv) restrictions on liens; (v) restrictions on making certain payments; (vi) restrictions on investments; (vii) restrictions on asset dispositions and other fundamental changes; and (viii) restrictions on transactions with affiliates.

 

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including, among other things: (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; and (iii) a required minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on and security interests in all or substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including a pledge of 100% of the subsidiaries of the Company. The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the Loan and Security Agreement, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of such documents, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1, and Exhibit 10.2 respectively, to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2012 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company increased its net inventory by approximately $8.8 million of which approximately $8.4 million was the result of the FDMC Acquisition. Therefore, the year over year increase was approximately $0.4 million resulting from the Company’s strategy of inventory acquisition. Not only does the inventory enable the Company to meet customer demand and obtain orders, but a portion of the inventory is carried on the Company’s balance sheet at a value below the replacement cost were it to be reordered today. The Company may have the strategic benefit over a potential new entrant of having a lower cost of goods versus the seller of newly purchased items. Even with the current relative stabilization of prices, the replacement cost of the Company’s inventory is difficult to ascertain exactly, since even if the cost of each particular item is stable or increasing, the unit cost usually decreases as the quantity purchased increases.

 

As of December 31, 2012, Company’s overall cash position had increased by approximately $191,000 to a total of approximately $461,000. This comparatively high cash position will be utilized to pay down higher than normal accounts payable anticipated in the near term.

 

The Company’s total liabilities were increased by approximately $12.1 million ($13.9 million vs. $1.8 million) of which approximately $10.5 million was the result of the FDMC Acquisition. Total Assets increased by approximately $13.1 million ($18.3 million vs. $5.2 million) and our Current Assets increased by approximately $12.2 million ($17.3 million vs. $5.1 million), so our Net Worth (Total Assets minus Total Liabilities) increased by approximately $1.1 million to $4.5 million (from $3.4 million).

 

When looking at the Company’s accumulated deficit of approximately $7.0 million, the reader should be aware that the Company restarted from non-operating status in July 2006 with a balance sheet which consisted of virtually no assets, but an accumulated deficit of $3 million which could not be used to offset future taxes. In 2008 the Company was required to incur a $4.4 million non-cash stock option charge, and in 2011 the Company incurred a non-cash impairment of goodwill and inventory write down charge of $2.6 million and during 2012 the an additional inventory write down charge of approximately $1.4 million. In total, approximately $11.4 million of non-cash reductions have been brought to that deficit, which would otherwise be positive during the Company’s six and a half years of operations as presently constituted.

 

The Company is dependent upon its line of credit to maintain appropriate liquidity. All of its cash flow from operations are required to be swept to its line. As previously described, the availability from its line is dependent upon accounts receivable and inventory. The amount available from the line varies daily. In the present market environment, other sources of financing for continuing operations may be difficult to obtain.  The Company is hopeful that it will be able to raise additional funding to augment availability from its line and to support properly structured, attractive acquisitions; market conditions will impact this ability.

 

During the coming year the Company anticipates spending approximately $0.2 to $0.3 million purchasing and installing a new enterprise resource planning system and the ancillary computers. The Company does not need to make any other material capital equipment investments in the coming year. It anticipates that it will be able to obtain sufficient capital to satisfy its capital needs during the coming year. Stresses would be created if product deliveries to the Company occur at a rate greater than anticipated or operating results fail to reach expectations.

 

The Company’s available cash gets depleted to the extent it must be utilized to pay taxes or other government imposed expenditures and the Company is quite concerned by the various tax increase and other imposed expenditure proposals which abound. The Company, as a stocking distributor, must pay for inventory as received from its cash-flow or with borrowings. .

 

Although the Company is seeking to obtain additional financial resources, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in its mix or cost of its present capital resources until there is an increase in the prime rate or LIBOR.  Any increase in the prime rate or LIBOR will increase the Company’s cost of borrowing, since its line of credit is tied to these indices. While the Company does not expect a near term increase, it anticipates that there could be substantial future increases. The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow to absorb reasonable additional interest expenses.

 

The Company has no off balance sheet financing arrangements.

 

Results of Operations

 

During 2012, The Company showed substantially improved results as a result of its acquisition which occurred in late May. Department of Defense purchasing activity was below historical norms. The Company’s operations were also, transiently, impacted by the effects of the hurricane which affected the east coast in October and the consolidation and relocation of its Staten Island facility with its facility in Bensalem, PA. Sales have not yet shown the strength anticipated earlier in the year.

 

The Company’s sales to the Department of Defense are for repair and maintenance items. The Company believes that the Department of Defense has recently been under purchasing and drawing down its inventory. The Department of Defense requirements for the Company’s products should increase above their recent levels, whether or not there are programmatic reviews of Defense Department programs and activities. Reduced acquisition of replacement equipment will increase repair requirements for existing equipment.

 

13
 

 

 

As the economy improves, the demand for the products sold by the Company by both existing and new customers should also improve. Additionally, there should be some multiplier effect as the Company’s customers replenish their inventories

 

The Company generally is experiencing “normal” lead times for product deliveries, although actual delivery dates often vary from the promise date.

 

During the past year, the Company’s sales increased approximately $12.5 million (or 162%) in comparison to 2011 ($20.2 million vs. $7.7 million). The FDMC Acquisition was the main contributor of this increase. The Company did experience a decline in its overall sales margins from a higher than expected 31% in 2011 to the expected margin of 28% as year over year sales increased.

 

During 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded certain expenses it considers as non-recurring. As a result of the FDMC Acquisition in 2012, management of the Company made certain decisions considered as one-time only. Results from operations reflect a bargain purchase gain of approximately $1.5 million (net of a deferred tax liability of approximately $0.61 million), a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million due to closing the Staten Island, New York warehouse and relocation of the corporate headquarters to Bensalem, Pennsylvania and lastly an impairment of approximately $1.2 million in 2012 to certain of the company’s inventory assets in order to reflect the corporate decision to adjust the carrying value of inventory as the value related to the most current three years of activity within the inventory flow. Therefore if an item has not been purchased or sold within the past three years, the Company has impaired that asset. Another impairment of approximately $2.6 million was recorded in 2011 relating to the elimination of the Company’s historical goodwill of approximately $2.2 million and $0.4 million relating to the reduction of the carrying value the Company’s inventory in order to reflect the Company’s decision to carrying the most current five years of inventory value. Additionally, included in the 2012 results were additional costs which the Company believes are non-recurring such as acquisition related costs and costs to restructure its operations. A total of approximately $0.2 million related to acquisition costs (professional fees, etc.) and an additional $0.2 million of corporate costs for the three months after the FDMC Acquisition through the date of the Company’s announcement of its restructuring initiative which would have been eliminated had the restructuring occurred at the date of the FDMC Acquisition.

 

The results of the Company’s operations in 2012 show losses before provision for income taxes of ($0.5) million while this is less than the loss of ($2.5) million in 2011. Approximately $0.9 million in 2012 and $2.6 million in 2011 of these losses are due to the non-recurring or non-cash expenses previously discussed. The Company does not anticipate substantial changes in its operating expenses for its present level of operations in the coming year.

 

The Company believes that, in addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, the non GAAP disclosure of Net Income that excludes the non-cash impairment of assets from the non-cash expenses incurred from the impairment of goodwill and additional reserve reducing the inventory value (GAAP requires that these items be included in determining Net Income) is useful in the understanding of the Company’s Net Income for the year to date. These results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful supplemental information for investors, allowing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making and in the review of the Company’s financial and operational performance, as well as facilitating meaningful comparisons of the Company’s results in the current period compared with those in prior and future periods. The table below provides a reconciliation of the GAAP to non GAAP presentation:

 

(approximated in the 000’s)  For the Twelve  Months ended December 31, 2012 *  For the Twelve  Months ended December 31, 2011

(* These results from operations include the seven (7) months of the new companies from the date of the FDMC Acquisition.)

By increasing the principal outstanding on its bank loans (term loan and line of credit) by approximately $8.1 million, the Company significantly increased its year over year interest expense by approximately $0.3 million. This coming year, unless there is a substantial and unanticipated increase in the prime rate, the Company anticipates that its interest expense will remain similar to last year, increased or decreased slightly by the addition to or reduction of anticipated in the outstanding principal.

 

The Company is anticipating significant increases in the prime rate in the future and believes that it will have the capability of meeting the increased interest payments that will occur.

 

The Company, in addition to working to expand its operations internally is looking to expand through acquisitions. The Company recognizes that the proper structuring of each acquisition needs to be even more elegantly addressed in the present economic climate.

 

The opportunities presently under consideration by the Company, in addition to the expansion of the Company’s operations, are the acquisition of horizontal, vertical and complementary operations. While the company is in various discussions and investigations, and the company is expending funds to pursue acquisitions, no specific acquisition opportunities or ventures have been finalized at this time. In connection with pursuit of these opportunities, the Company will also pursue the arrangement of adequate financing to carry out its plans.

 

Horizontal acquisitions would effectively improve the Company's overall volume which, in turn, would enable the Company to take advantage of economies of scale as they pertain to inventory management and certain administrative practices.  Vertical or synergistic acquisitions could enhance the capability of the Company to satisfy potential customer desires to deal with multi-product companies or to deal with companies that have expanded service offerings not presently provided by the Company.

 

Additionally, acquisition of skills and product lines which are complementary to the Company’s offering could mutually enhance the sales of each. Complementary acquisitions could also appropriately enhance the combined company operations and balance sheet.

 

The Company believes it can expand its business with its present staff until acquisitions warrant additional personnel. The Company 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 or appropriate candidates who could enhance the business become available. Presently many Company level activities are either outsourced or handled at the operating company level.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

The consolidated financial statements of Precision Aerospace required by Article 8 of Regulation S-X are attached to this report. Reference is made to Item 13 below for an index to the financial statements.

 

Of particular importance are the notes to those financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions.  We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made.  These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented.  To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application.  There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result.  Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures.  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

 

15
 

  

 

The following areas are of particular importance to the Company’s operations and available cash flow:

 

·Inventory - The prices for replacement inventory have been substantially stable, as have the lead times for delivery.  With few, insignificant, exceptions, none of the Company’s products in inventory have any shelf life limitations and, assuming eventual utilization, their value, from a replacement perspective meet or exceed their initial acquisition cost.  Demand for individual products extends for long durations and the Company’s business is characterized by either the immediate availability or near term availability of a product being crucial to its sale.  Sales of a particular product may occur at irregular intervals.  Consequently the Company continues to invest in a substantial inventory and to recognize a product as being no longer in demand if a sale does not occur within a three year period.  Although the product is, at the end of the three year period, reduced to a zero cost basis, it may remain in the Company’s inventory and be available for sale at a later time. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, utilizing the specific lot identification method. Inventory consists of finished goods for resale at December 31, 2012.

 

·Accounts Receivable - allowance for sales returns and allowance for doubtful accounts - In determining the adequacy of the allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, the Company considers a number of factors including the history of sales to each customer, any items returned by customer, aging of the receivable portfolio, customer payment trends, and financial condition of the customer, industry conditions and overall credibility of the customer. Actual amounts could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

·Income Taxes - In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates income taxes based on the existing regulatory structures.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent tax benefits or obligations that arise from temporary differences due to differing treatment of certain items for accounting and income tax purposes.  The Company evaluates deferred tax assets each period to ensure that estimated future taxable income will be sufficient in character, amount and timing to result in their recovery.  A valuation allowance is established when management determines that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized to reduce the assets to their realizable value.  Considerable judgments are required in establishing deferred tax valuation allowances and in assessing probable exposures related to tax matters.  The Company’s tax returns are subject to audit and local taxing authorities that could challenge the company’s tax positions.  The Company believes it records and/or discloses such potential tax liabilities as appropriate and has reasonably estimated its income tax liabilities and recoverable tax assets.

 

·Restructuring Expenses - The Company had formalized a restructuring initiative and announced this plan to all of the employees affected by the restructuring, as of late September 2012. The Company estimated all restructuring costs associated with closing its Staten Island plant including severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs, in connection with this initiative, have been recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and FASB ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

 

·Acquisition - The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquirees and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, “Business Combinations – Overall” (“ASC 805-10”) provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a combination effected through a transfer of additional assets and exchange of equity interest, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of additional assets and equity securities in the business combination, including payment of any premium. The acquiring company is required to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which includes the fair value of all intangible assets acquired. The Company has determined the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired exceed the purchase price paid and therefore has recorded a bargain purchase gain.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Precision Aerospace Components, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012.  The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

 

Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) distributes high-quality, predominantly domestically-manufactured, technically complex, nut and bolt products and a proprietary locking washer product 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 operations are carried out through its wholly-owned distribution subsidiaries Aero-Missile Components, Inc. (“Aero-Missile”) and Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich”), both of whom have Stocking Distributor relationships with a number of United States fastener manufacturers and who sell high technology, specially engineered fasteners - nuts and bolts - predominantly to all levels of the aviation industries (original equipment manufacturers, maintenance and repair organizations, and other distributors as well as to the United States Department of Defense (“Department of Defense”). Creative Assembly Systems, Inc. (“Creative Assembly”) is a value added distributor of proprietary and specialty fasteners, primarily serving the heavy truck, automotive, appliance, and material handling industries and Tiger-Tight Corp. (“Tiger-Tight”) the exclusive North American master distributor of the Tiger-Tight locking washer. Tiger-Tight washers are used in demanding vibration applications and the Company believes they have significant advantages in comparison to competitive products. Tiger-Tight products are now available and under evaluation by several major US corporations, is being used aboard the SpaceX Dragon – the first civilian space craft to dock and return from the International Space Station.

 

The Company’s products are manufactured, by others, to exacting specifications and are made from materials that provide the strength and reliability required for their aerospace and industrial applications.

 

On May 25, 2012, the Company acquired the assets of Fastener Distribution and Marketing Company, Inc., which included Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly. The Company paid for the acquisition with a new credit facility consisting of a $2.5 million term loan and a $10 million revolving loan with Newstar Business Credit, LLC. The operating results of the Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly businesses are included in the financial results from the date of acquisition.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.

 

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 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. The significant estimates are the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, reserves for inventory and the valuation of intangible assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash balances in banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

PRECISION AEROSPACE COMPONENTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded net of reserves for sales returns and allowances and net of provisions for doubtful accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable. The amount of the allowance is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary. The Company determines receivables to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. Interest is not typically charged on past due receivables.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, utilizing the specific lot identification method. The Company is a distributor of goods that retain their value and may be purchased by its customers for an extended period of time. Therefore any inventory item for which the Company has not had any transactions within the past three years is reduced to a zero value. Inventory consists of finished goods for resale at December 31, 2012.

 

The Company has reassessed the carrying value of the inventory based on expected sales over extended periods longer than one year. In 2011, the Company anticipated most of the inventory to be sold within a 5 year period and therefore recorded an impairment of the excess inventory by approximately $336,000. As a result of the FDMC Acquisition, in December 2012, the Company reassessed all of the inventory (both previous existing and newly acquired) and determined based on the new inventory levels held by the Company that most of the existing inventory is anticipated to be sold within a 3 year period in the future and therefore an additional impairment of the excess inventory was recorded in December 2012 of approximately $1.2 million.

 

The Company also records a reserve for obsolescence either monthly or quarterly based on the current purchasing and sales levels. Any changes to the reserve are recorded in cost of goods sold for that period. At December 31, 2012, the existing reserve was written off to $0 and approximately $328,000 was recorded at December 31, 2011.

 

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:

 

Leasehold improvements 5 years **
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Equipment and other 3-5 years

 

** Shorter of life or lease term.

 

The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine whether adjustment to the useful life or to the unamortized balance is warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely that not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. A sale occurs at the time of shipment from the Company’s warehouse as the terms of the Company’s sales are FOB shipping point.

 

Shipping Costs

 

Shipping costs relating to sales were approximately $114,000 and $65,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value election for financial assets and financial liabilities, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy was established that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on the following:

 

i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)
ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2)
iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measure. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, line of credit and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the financial instruments.

 

The Company believes that its term loan approximates fair value based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented that we believe will materially impact our financial statements.

 

Restructuring Expenses

 

The Company had formalized a restructuring initiative and announced this plan to all of the employees affected by the restructuring, as of late September 2012. The Company estimated all restructuring costs associated with closing its Staten Island facility including severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs, in connection with this initiative, have been recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and FASB ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

 

Acquisition

 

The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquirees and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, “Business Combinations – Overall” (“ASC 805-10”) provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a combination effected through a transfer of additional assets and exchange of equity interest, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of additional assets and equity securities in the business combination, including payment of any premium. The acquiring company is required to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which includes the fair value of all intangible assets acquired. The Company has determined the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired exceed the purchase price paid and therefore has recorded a bargain purchase gain.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 360 (ASC Topic 360) “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” 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. 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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Sales to two customers totaled greater than 10% during 2012. The United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) represented approximately 22% and 35% of the Company’s total sales for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011. PACCAR Inc represented approximately 11% and 0% of the Company’s total sales for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total sales and the Company has no substantial concentrations of credit risk in its trade receivables.

 

Purchases from one supplier totaled greater than 10% during 2012 and two suppliers during 2011. SPS Technologies represented approximately 37% and 45% of the Company’s total purchases for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2011, MacLean – ESNA (a division of MacLean-Fogg) represented approximately 17% of the company’s total purchases for the year ending December 31, 2011 and less than 10% during 2012. SPS Technologies represented approximately 20% and 14% of total outstanding accounts payables at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. MacLean – ESNA represented less than 10% and approximately 25% of the total outstanding payables at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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 earnings (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and other stock-based compensation, which are included in diluted earnings per share. When a company is in a loss situation, all outstanding dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings because their inclusion would be antidilutive; and the basic and fully diluted common shares outstanding are stated to be the same.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are included in other non-current assets and are amortized over the term of the related agreements.

 

3. RESTRUCTURING

 

The Company committed to certain cost reduction initiatives during the third quarter of 2012, which included planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses relative to revenues.

2012 Cost Reduction Initiative

On September 25 of 2012, the Company announced its plans to relocate and consolidate the activities of its headquarters operations, as well as the operations of its Freundlich Supply Company Inc. and Tiger-Tight Corp. subsidiaries (the “2012 Cost Reduction Initiative”) from Staten Island New York to Bensalem, Pennsylvania, at the present location of its Aero-Missile Components Inc. subsidiary, prior to the end of the calendar year 2012. This relocation allows the Company to better serve its customers through the co-location of its broadened inventory and will enable the Company to realize additional efficiencies from its recent acquisition. The operations and service provided by the Company continue unabated. As a result of this relocation, the Company realized significant and continuing savings from the elimination of the facilities costs associated with its Staten Island location. Additionally, the lower overall tax environment outside of New York City and State will be beneficial to the Company. The Company has included its anticipated expenses associated with this announced relocation, as “Restructuring expenses” within its present consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the total costs to be incurred in connection with this initiative to be approximately $0.5 million, which primarily relate to one-time termination benefits, moving costs and other costs associated with closing the plant and all of which will result in future cash expenditures. As of December 31, 2012, the Company incurred approximately $271,400 of costs related to this initiative.

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, estimated restructuring costs of $0.50 million are included as other costs.

Estimated and actual expenses including severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs, in connection with these initiatives, have been recognized in accordance with ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

Restructuring costs associated with the 2012 Cost Reduction Initiative consist of the following (in thousands):

 

Severance and related benefits  $233,300 
Lease termination   146,000 
Moving costs   55,000 
Other restructuring costs   66,500 
   $500,800

4. ACQUISITION

 

On May 25, 2012, the Company acquired the assets of Fastener Distribution and Marketing Company, Inc., which included Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly (collectively the “FDMC Acquisition”) with a fair value of approximately $8.6 million which included a cash payment of approximately $7.1 million and bargain purchase gain of approximately $1.5 million (pretax or approximately $0.9 million after tax). The Company paid for the acquisition and repaid the existing outstanding credit facility of approximately $1.575 million with a new credit facility consisting of a $2.5 million term loan and a $10 million revolving loan with Newstar Business Credit, LLC (the “NewStar Loans”). The operating results of the FDMC Acquisition businesses are included in the financial results from the date of acquisition.

 

The NewStar Loans are secured by substantially all of accounts receivable and inventory of the consolidated company. In addition, the Loan Agreement for the NewStar Loans contains usual and customary covenants for financings of this type, including, among other things: (i) requirements to deliver financial statements, other reports and notices; (ii) restrictions on additional indebtedness; (iii) restrictions on dividends, distributions and redemptions of equity and repayment of subordinated indebtedness; (iv) restrictions on liens; (v) restrictions on making certain payments; (vi) restrictions on investments; (vii) restrictions on asset dispositions and other fundamental changes; and (viii) restrictions on transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including, among other things: (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a minimum tangible net worth. Without the permission of the Lenders, our ability to complete material acquisitions will be restricted.  A default on any of these restrictions and covenants will cause, in certain circumstances, the amounts due under such agreements to become due and payable upon demand.

 

In order to complete the acquisition, the Company spent approximately $160,000, of which approximately $85,000 was expensed as occurred and approximately $75,000 was recorded as a deferred financing cost and will be amortized over the same period as the term loan.

 

The following table provides the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition.  The purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

Accounts receivable    $2,298,400 
Inventory     8,427,000 
Property and equipment     44,200

Revolving funding facility

 

The Company has a revolving funding facility pursuant to which it can draw up to $10,000,000 against eligible assets. The facility allows for draws of up to eighty-five (85) percent of eligible accounts receivable or to eighty-five (85) percent of eligible inventory up to a maximum inventory advance amount of six million five hundred thousand dollars ($6,500,000); however the outstanding amount against eligible inventory is further limited to, an amount equal to 2.015 times the amount which can be drawn against the eligible accounts receivable. Eligible accounts receivable are, generally, those domestic accounts not outstanding for more than ninety (90) days or, for government accounts one hundred twenty (120) days and eligible inventory is inventory as determined by the bank, presently the net orderly liquidation value as determined by the bank. The loan balance is secured by a first lien position on all of the Company’s assets. The loan balance bears interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates, in each case plus a specified margin: (i) the prime lending rate, but not less than 3.25%, plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or (ii) adjusted one-month LIBOR but not less than 1.5%, plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50%.

During March 2013, the lender and the Company amended the debt agreements in order to change certain of the covenant ratios for 2013 and subsequent. In addition, the lender waived their covenants for December 2012 and January 2013. The waiver was required mainly as a result of the Company’s decision to write down its inventory in December 2012 which adversely impacted certain of the covenant ratios.

There were no significant uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return that would be determined to be an unrecognized tax benefit taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that should have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Additionally, there were no interest or penalties outstanding as of or for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

The federal and state tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 have been filed and are currently open and the tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2012 will be filed by September 15, 2013.

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a valuation allowance offsetting its net deferred tax assets resulting from uncertainties that existed in its business at the time. During 2012, the Company completed the FDMC Acquisition and as of December 31, 2012 has concluded, based on its anticipated future plans, it is more likely than not to return to profitability and therefore has reversed the full valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2011. This resulted in an additional tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million recorded at December 31, 2012.

In the normal course, a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock along with its affiliates cannot convert its shares if, immediately after such conversion it would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The shares of the Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference which may be invoked upon a change of control or similar transaction regarding substantially all of the Company’s assets or shares. The preference is allocated pro rata $0.735 per share of Preferred Stock. The total preference is $4,369,853. While the Preferred Stock is outstanding, no dividends can be paid on the Common Stock and no Common Stock can be redeemed or purchased by the Company.
