SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are predictive in nature and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and generally include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions. Certain of the matters discussed herein concerning, among other items, our operations, cash flows, financial position and economic performance including, in particular, future sales, product demand, competition and the effect of economic conditions, include forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of orders, sales, operating margins, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures, distribution channels, profitability, new products, adequacy of funds from operations, and general economic conditions, these statements and other projections contained herein expressing opinions about future outcomes and non-historical information, are subject to uncertainties and, therefore, there is no assurance that the outcomes expressed in these statements will be achieved. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in forward-looking statements contained herein. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and elsewhere in this report and the risks discussed in our other filings with the SEC.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under the securities laws of the United States.

AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. FORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

On August 30, 2013, Air Industries Group, Inc. (“Air Industries Delaware”) changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada as a result of a merger with and into its recently formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation (“Air Industries Nevada” or “AIRI”) and the surviving entity, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The reincorporation was approved by the stockholders of Air Industries Delaware at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Air Industries Nevada is deemed to be the successor.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining, Corp. (“AIM”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. ("WMI" or “Welding”), Miller Stuart, Inc. (“Miller Stuart”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), Woodbine Products, Inc. (“Woodbine” or “WPI”) effective April 1, 2014, Eur-Pac Corporation (“Eur-Pac” or “EPC”) effective June 1, 2014, Electronic Connection Corporation (“ECC”) effective September 1, 2014, AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”) effective October 1, 2014, The Sterling Engineering Corporation ("Sterling") effective March 1, 2015, and Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”) effective September 1, 2015 (together, the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2. ACQUISITIONS

The Company accounts for all business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company expenses all costs as incurred related to an acquisition in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Sterling
On March 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Sterling for $5.4 million in cash and 425,005 shares of the common stock of AIRI. The common stock was valued at $9.89 per share, which was the closing share price on February 27, 2015. The cash consideration is subject to adjustment for working capital changes. The Company has also entered into employment and non-compete agreements for two and three year periods with three of the principals of Sterling. The Company financed the acquisition of Sterling with the proceeds from the issuance of Term Loan D (see Note 6).

At the time of acquisition, Sterling had capital lease obligations for equipment with a remaining balance of approximately $1.3 million. On April 21, 2015, the Company refinanced the $1.3 million capital lease obligation with the same financing company. This refinancing generated approximately $500,000 of cash for the Company. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the fair values of the Sterling acquisition transaction and is still in the measurement period as defined under ASC 805. Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a revision to the previously recorded purchase price allocation, and has increased the fair value of the goodwill acquired by $1.3 million with a corresponding increase in capital lease obligations. At the date of the capital lease refinancing transaction, the Company had approximately $1.8 million due under the refinanced obligation. This capital lease obligation has been accounted for and summarized with the remainder of the Company's capital leases as disclosed in Note 6.

In connection with the asset purchase, the Company has assumed Compac’s lease for its Bay Shore facility which extends through April 30, 2018 and has annual rent of approximately $80,000, which is offset by rent received from the sub-tenant of approximately $20,000 per year.

The acquisition of Compac was accounted for under ASC 805. The provisional purchase price allocation is set forth below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

The Company has several key sole-source suppliers of various parts that are important for one or more of its products. These suppliers are its only source for such parts and, therefore, in the event any of them were to go out of business or be unable to provide parts for any reason, its business could be severely harmed.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation." Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Stock based compensation amounted to $23,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $77,000 and $25,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $9,324,000 relates to the acquisitions of Welding ($291,000), NTW ($162,000), Woodbine ($2,565,000), Eur-Pac ($1,656,000), ECC ($109,000), AMK ($635,000), Sterling ($3,346,000) and Compac ($560,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items" (“ASU 2015-01”). ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of Adopting ASU 2015-01 on its consolidated financial statements but the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance to the consolidation standard which updates the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendment modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, among other provisions. This amended guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements but the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability rather than as separate assets on the balance sheet. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. This amended guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2016. Early adoption is permitted, and the new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance and creates ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year and the amendments are now effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value when the FIFO or average cost method is used. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements but the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC")

The Company has a credit facility with PNC (the "Loan Facility") secured by substantially all of its assets. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term. The Company entered into the latest amendment to the Loan Facility in August 2015 and paid an amendment fee of $40,000. The Loan Facility now provides for maximum borrowings of approximately $38,000,000 consisting of the following at September 30, 2015:

 
(i)
a $28,000,000 revolving loan (includes inventory sub-limit of $15,000,000) and
 
(ii)
Four term loans (Term Loan A, Term Loan B, Term Loan C and Term Loan D).

Under the terms of the Loan Facility the revolving credit note now bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one half of one percent (2.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Prior to the amendment the revolving credit note bore interest at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The revolving credit note had an interest rate of 4.00% per annum at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and an outstanding balance of $28,000,000 and $17,672,000, respectively. The maturity date of the revolving credit note is November 30, 2016.

Each day, the Company's cash collections are swept directly by the bank to reduce the revolving loans and we then borrow according to a borrowing base. Because the revolving loans contain a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the loans are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations.

The repayment terms of Term Loan A were amended in 2014. On April 1, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $1,328,000 to partially fund the acquisition of Woodbine. The repayment terms of Term Loan A now consists of thirty-two consecutive monthly principal installments, the first thirty-one of which shall be in the amount of $31,859 commencing on the first business day of May 2014, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a thirty-second and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016. Term Loans A and B bear interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one and three quarters of one percent (1.75%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three percent (3.00%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance due under Term Loan A was $2,134,000 and $2,421,000, respectively.

On December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $2,500,000 under Term Loan C to refinance the Seller Note and Mortgage of $2,500,000 issued as part of the acquisition of AMK. The maturity date of Term Loan C is the first business day of January 2021, and it is to be paid in seventy two consecutive monthly principal installments, which commenced on the first business day of February 2015, and continue on the first business day of each month thereafter. The first seventy-one of the installments shall be in the amount of $34,722 with a seventy second and final payment of any unpaid principal and interest on the first business day of January 2021. Term Loan C bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance due under Term Loan C was $2,222,000 and $2,500,000, respectively.

On March 9, 2015, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 under Term Loan D for the acquisition of Sterling. The repayment of Term Loan D consists of twenty consecutive monthly principal installments, the first nineteen of which shall be in the amount of $62,847 commencing on the first business day of April 2015, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a twentieth and final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest on the last business day of November 2016. Term Loan D bears interest at (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. At September 30, 2015, the balance due under Term Loan D was $3,123,000.

To the extent that the Company disposes of collateral used to secure the Loan Facility, other than inventory, the Company must promptly repay the draws on the credit facility in the amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale.

The terms of the Loan Facility require that, among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. The Company is also limited to the amount of Dividends it can pay its shareholders as defined in the Loan Facility. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant. Because the Loan Facility contains a subjective acceleration clause which could permit PNC to require repayment prior to maturity, the revolving loan is classified as current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The failure to maintain the requisite Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio constitutes a default under the Loan Facility and, PNC, at its option, may give notice to the Company that all amounts under the Loan Facility are immediately due and payable. Consequently, all amounts due under the Term Loans are also classified as current. As of the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements, PNC has not given such notice. In addition, the Company has received a draft of a waiver of this covenant from PNC and is in negotiations to finalize such waiver. At September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all other terms of the Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all terms of the Loan Facility.

The Company's receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by PNC (subject to the terms of the Loan Facility). PNC may use some elements of subjective business judgment in determining whether a material adverse change has occurred in the Company's condition, results of operations, assets, business, properties or prospects allowing it to demand repayment of the Loan Facility.

As of September 30, 2015, the scheduled future minimum principal payments for the term loans are as follows, however as discussed above, the balance of the term loans have been classified as current:

Notes Payable - Sellers

In connection with the acquisition of Welding on August 24, 2007, the Company incurred a note payable (the “Note”) to the former stockholders of Welding. At December 31, 2014, the balance owed under the Note was $41,000. On January 5, 2015 the remaining balance of $41,000 was paid and the obligation was extinguished.

Interest expense related to the Note was $0 and $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0 and $27,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Notes

In 2008 and 2009, the Company sold in a series of private placements to accredited investors $5,990,000 of principal amount in Junior Subordinated Notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 1% per month (or 12% per annum).

In connection with the offering of the Company's Junior Subordinated Notes, the Company issued to Taglich Brothers, Inc. ("Taglich Brothers"), as placement agent, a Junior Subordinated Note in the principal amount of $510,000. The terms of the note issued to Taglich Brothers are identical to the notes. In connection with the amounts raised in 2009, the Company issued to Taglich Brothers a Junior Subordinated Note on the same terms as the Junior Subordinated Notes referred to above for commission of $44,500.

In conjunction with the Private Placement of our common stock to raise money for the NTW Acquisition, the Company solicited the holders of our Junior Subordinated Notes to convert their notes to Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share. On September 29, 2012, the Company issued 867,461 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for approximately $5,204,000 of its Junior Subordinated Notes. On July 26, 2012, the Company repaid $115,000 of its Junior Subordinated Notes along with the accrued interest thereon of approximately $1,000.

The due dates of the remaining Junior Subordinated Notes were extended from November 18, 2013 to mature on November 30, 2016 and are subordinated to the Company's obligations to PNC. The Junior Subordinated Notes were satisfied in September 2014.

Interest expense on the Junior Subordinated Notes amounted to $0 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0 and $61,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The valuation allowance at both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 amounted to $1,092,000. Management believes that the remainder of the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has a capital loss carry forward from the sale of Sigma Metals, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company, of $2,719,000 which will expire in fiscal 2015.

Note 9. SEGMENT REPORTING

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” ("ASC 280"), the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company follows ASC 280, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements, and requires that companies report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

The Company currently divides its operations into three operating segments: Complex Machining which consists of AIM and NTW; Aerostructures and Electronics which consists of WMI, WPI, Miller Stuart, Eur-Pac, ECC and Compac; and Turbine Engine Components which consists of AMK and Sterling.

The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed.

Effective January 1, 2015, all operating costs are allocated to the Company’s operating segments. Prior to January 1, 2015, certain operating costs that were not directly attributable to a particular segment were included in corporate and presented as an independent segment. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed on March 31, 2015, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

We are an aerospace company operating primarily in the defense industry, though the proportion of our business represented by the commercial sector is increasing. We manufacture and design structural parts and assemblies that focus on flight safety, including landing gear, arresting gear, engine mounts, flight controls, throttle quadrants, jet engines and other components. We also provide sheet metal fabrication of aerostructures, tube bending, welding and kitting services. Our Turbine Engine Components sector makes components and provides services for jet engines and ground turbines. Our products are currently deployed on a wide range of high profile military and commercial aircraft including Sikorsky's UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Northrop Grumman's E2D Hawkeye, Boeing's 777 and Airbus' 380 commercial airliners, and the US Navy F-18 and USAF F-16 fighter aircraft. Our Turbine Engine sector makes components for jet engines that are used on the USAF F-15 and F-16, the Airbus A-330 and A-380, and the Boeing 777, in addition to a number of ground turbine applications.

Air Industries Machining, Corp. (“AIM”) became a public company in 2005 when its net sales were approximately $30 million. AIM has manufactured components and subassemblies for the defense and commercial aerospace industry for over 45 years and has established long-term relationships with leading defense and aerospace manufacturers. Since becoming public, we have completed a series of acquisitions of defense aerospace and recently commercial aerospace businesses which have enabled us to broaden the range of products and services beyond those which were provided by AIM. For example, where AIM was primarily a machining shop, as a result of acquisitions, we now have capabilities and expertise in metal fabrication, welding and tube bending; the production of electromechanical systems, harness and cable assemblies; the fabrication of electronic equipment and printed circuit boards; the machining of turbine engine components, and the assembly of packages or “kits” containing supplies for all branches of the United States Defense Department, including ordnance parts, hose assemblies, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical assemblies.

In September 2012, we acquired the business and operations now conducted by Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”) in an asset acquisition (the “NTW Acquisition”). We acquired the business and operations of Decimal Industries, Inc. (“Decimal”) in an asset acquisition on July 1, 2013 (the “Decimal Transaction”). The assets and business of Decimal Industries became part of our subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”). On November 6, 2013, WMI acquired 100% of the stock of Miller Stuart Inc. (“MSI”).

Since January 1, 2014 we have acquired the following businesses:

 
-
In April 2014 we acquired Woodbine Products, Inc. (“WPI”). WPI is a fabricator of precision sheet metal assemblies for aerospace applications. WPI has been consolidated into WMI;
 
-
In June 2014 we acquired Eur-Pac Corporation (“EPC”). EPC specializes in military packaging and supplies all branches of the United States Defense Department with ordnance parts and kits, hose assemblies, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical assemblies;
 
-
In September 2014 we acquired Electronic Connection Corporation (“ECC”). ECC specializes in wire harnesses and leads for the aerospace and other industries;
 
-
In October 2014 we acquired AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”). AMK has been a provider of welding services primarily for aircraft jet engine and ground turbine manufacturers since 1964;
 
-
In March 2015 we acquired The Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”). Sterling provides complex machining services and its business is concentrated with aircraft jet engine and ground turbine manufacturers.
 
-
In September 2015 our subsidiary WMI acquired the business and operations of Compac Development Corporation (“Compac”) in an asset acquisition. Compac specializes in the manufacture of RFI/EMI (Radio Frequency Interference – Electro-Magnetic Interference) shielded enclosures for electronic components.

The aerospace market is highly competitive in both the defense and commercial sectors and we face intense competition in all areas of our business. Nearly all of our revenues are derived by producing products to customer specifications after being awarded a contract through a competitive bidding process. As the commercial aerospace and defense industries continue to consolidate and major contractors seek to streamline supply chains by buying more complete sub-assemblies from fewer suppliers, we have sought to remain competitive not only by providing cost-effective world class service but also by increasing our ability to produce more complex and complete assemblies for our customers.
 
 
Our ability to operate profitably is determined by our ability to win new contracts and renewals of existing contracts, and then fulfill these contracts on a timely basis at costs that enable us to generate a profit based upon the agreed upon contract price. Winning a contract generally requires that we submit a bid containing a fixed price for the product or products covered by the contract for an agreed upon period of time. Thus, when submitting bids, we are required to estimate our future costs of production and, since we often rely upon subcontractors, the prices we can obtain from our subcontractors.

While our revenues are largely determined by the number of contracts we are awarded, the volume of product delivered and price of product under each contract, our costs are determined by a number of factors. The principal factors impacting our costs are the cost of materials and supplies, labor, financing and the efficiency at which we can produce our products. The cost of materials used in the aerospace industry is highly volatile. In addition, the market for the skilled labor we require to operate our plants is highly competitive. The profit margin of the various products we sell varies based upon a number of factors, including the complexity of the product, the intensity of the competition for such product and, in some cases, the ability to deliver replacement parts on short notice. Thus, in assessing our performance from one period to another, a reader must understand that changes in profit margin can be the result of shifts in the mix of products sold.

A very large percentage of the products we produce are used on military as opposed to civilian aircraft. These products can be replacements for aircraft already in the fleet of the armed services or for the production of new aircraft. Reductions to the Defense Department budget and decreased usage of aircraft have reduced the demand for both new production and replacement spares. This has reduced our sales, particularly in our complex machining segment. In response to the reduction in military sales, we are focusing greater efforts on the civilian aircraft market though we still remain dependent upon the military for an overwhelming portion of our revenues.

Segment Data

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements, and requires that companies report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

We currently divide our operations into three operating segments: Complex Machining; Aerostructures and Electronics; and Turbine Engine Components. As our businesses continue to develop and evolve, and we acquire additional companies, we may deem it appropriate to reallocate our companies into different operating segments and, once we achieve sufficient integration among our businesses, report as a unified company.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We evaluate performance based on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of operations constitutes management's review of the factors that affected our financial and operating performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had three operating segments: Complex Machining comprised of AIM and NTW; Aerostructures and Electronics comprised of WMI (including Decimal and Woodbine Products), Eur-Pac (including ECC), MSI and Compac; and Turbine Engine Components comprised of AMK and Sterling. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had four operating segments, AIM, WMI, NTW and Eur-Pac, and separately reported our corporate overhead (which was comprised of certain operating costs that were not directly attributable to a particular segment). Effective January 1, 2015, all operating costs are allocated to the Company’s three operating segments. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations of the businesses we have acquired are included in our financial results from their respective dates of acquisition.
