SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Air Industries Group (herein referred to as “Air Industries”, the “company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) 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. 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.
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. 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, 2024, and elsewhere in this report and the risks discussed in our other filings with the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We do not intend to update or revise publicly and 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 applicable securities laws. You are advised, however, to review any additional disclosures we make in our reports filed with the SEC.

AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Air Industries Group is a Nevada corporation (“AIRI”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of AIRI, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Air Industries Machining Corp. (“AIM”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), and the Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”) (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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2025, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2024 was derived.
Going Concern and Management’s Plan
As
of June 30, 2025, the Company was in default of its minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) of 1.05x on a rolling 12-month
basis having only attained a ratio of 0.76x. All other financial and business covenants required under the terms of its Current Credit
Facility were met. The Current Credit Facility expires on
Management’s
plans are to increase revenues and reduce costs and measures were taken to reduce costs early in the third quarter of 2025. While
the Company’s backlog has grown as a result of recent contract awards, due to the long-lead times to acquire raw materials and
the time needed to manufacture complex assemblies, the Company anticipates sales will not begin to increase until early next year.
The Company’s funded backlog, as of June 30, 2025, was $
Management has begun
negotiations with both the lender of its Current Credit Facility and holders of its related party notes in an effort to extend the maturity
dates of such debt. Management also sought to obtain capital through sales of shares of the Company’s common stock in the public
market. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received gross proceeds of $
The
Company generally sources its raw material, principally metal casting or forgings, from domestic sources. As such, the Company is generally
not exposed to increased prices on imports but would be subject to increased prices if proposed tariffs or disruptions in supply chains
resulting from tariffs or other geopolitical events, cause the general level of prices for its products to increase. One component used
by the Company on a key commercial aviation program is sourced from China. The Company’s contract with its customer requires the
Company to absorb the first five percent (
7
A substantial portion of the Company’s products are used in United States military aviation and as such changes in the US defense budget are more material to demand than to changes in general economic conditions. However, the Company does have exposure in commercial aviation; demand for these products may be reduced if general economic conditions deteriorate reducing demand for commercial air travel.
The Company is required to maintain a collection account with its lender into which substantially all cash receipts are remitted. As a result of the Company’s failure to meet its FCCR for the period ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s lender could choose to exercise its rights under the Current Credit Facility, for example, increase the rate of interest or refuse to make loans under the revolving portion of the Current Credit Facility and keep the funds remitted to the collection account. If the lender were to raise the rate of interest, it would adversely impact the Company’s operating results. If the lender were to cease making new loans under the revolving facility, the Company would lack the funds to continue operations. The Current Credit Facility expiration date and the rights granted to the lender, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one year commencing as of the date of filing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for credit losses based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, current economic conditions and other relevant factors, including specific reserves for certain accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Bad debt expenses are recorded in operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is set forth in the table below:
| Balance at | Deductions | Balance at | ||||||||||||||
| Beginning of | Charged to | from the | End of | |||||||||||||
| Period | Expenses | Allowance | Period | |||||||||||||

| Six Months ended June 30, 2024 Allowance for Credit Losses | $ | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ | ||||||||||
Inventory Valuation
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or an estimated net realizable value using the first-in first out method. The Company periodically evaluates inventory items not secured by backlog and establishes write-downs to estimated net realizable value for excess quantities, slow-moving goods, obsolescence and for other impairments of value. Adjustments to inventory are recorded in cost of sales.
Inventories consist of the following at:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Raw Materials | $ | $ | ||||||
| Work In Progress | ||||||||
| Semi-Finished Goods | ||||||||

Credit and Concentration Risks
A large percentage of the Company’s revenues are derived directly from large aerospace and defense prime contractors for which the ultimate end-user is the U.S. Government, other governments, or commercial airlines.

Cash
During the period ended June 30, 2025, 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.
Major Suppliers
The Company utilizes sole-source suppliers to supply raw materials or other parts used in production. 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, the Company’s business would be severely harmed.
Customer Deposits
The Company receives advance payments on certain contracts with the remainder of the contract balance due upon the shipment of the final product once the customer inspects and approves the product for shipment. At that time, the entire amount will be recognized as revenue and the deposit will be applied to the customer’s invoice.
At
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, customer deposits were $

Earnings (Loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per common share, the numerator includes net income (loss) plus interest on convertible notes payable assumed converted as of the first day of the period. The denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method.

The following is a calculation of net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders utilized to calculate EPS:

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 and stock grants at their closing reported market value. Stock-based compensation expense for employees amounted to $

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expenses categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Overview
We believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of precision components and assemblies for large aerospace and defense contractors. Our rich history dates to 1941, producing parts for World War II fighter aircraft. Since then, we have maintained an impeccable record with no known incidents of part failure leading to a fatal mission. We became a public company in 2005.
Our products include landing gear, flight controls, engine mounts and components for aircraft jet engines and ground turbines and other complex machines. The ultimate end-user for most of our products is the U.S. government, foreign governments, and commercial global airlines. Whether it is a small individual component for assembly by others or complete assemblies we manufacture ourselves, our high quality and extremely reliable products are used in mission critical operations that are essential for safety of military personnel and civilians.
Although our net sales are concentrated amongst a number of defense and aerospace prime contractors, we have cultivated long-standing relationships with a number of their subsidiaries and/or business units. Additionally, our net sales are generated across several high-profile platforms and programs including: the F-18 Hornet, the E-2 Hawkeye, the UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopters, Geared Turbo-Fan (“GTF”) Engines (used on smaller aircraft such as the Airbus A220 and Embraer E2), the CH-53 Helicopter, the F-35 Lighting II and the F-15 Eagle Tactical Fighter. In many cases, we are the sole or single supplier of certain parts and components and receive LTAs from our customers, both demonstrating their commitment to us.
Winning a new contract award is highly competitive. Our ability to win new contract awards generally requires us to deliver superior quality products, more quickly and with lower pricing than our competitors. Accordingly, we must continually invest in process improvements and capital equipment. Recent investments in new equipment have improved the productive capacity of our employees, increased our efficiency and speed, and expanded the size of products we can manufacture. We strategically operate two state-of-the-art manufacturing centers in the U.S. This allows for rigorous oversight of production and the adherence to stringent quality standards. Although there is currently a shortage of skilled workers, we maintain a highly trained and close-knit team of over 150 professionals committed to driving excellence and precision in every aspect of our operations.
Our period-to-period net sales and operating results are significantly impacted by timing. In addition, our gross profit is affected by a variety of factors, including the mix and complexity of products, production efficiencies, price competition and general business operating environments. In some cases, our gross profit is impacted by our ability to deliver replacement parts on short notice. Our operations have a large percentage of fixed factory overhead. As a result, our profit margins are highly variable with sales volumes.
For the past several years, despite facing significant financial and operational challenges, we have strategically invested substantial amounts in new capital equipment, tooling, and processes to bolster our competitive position. Additionally, we expanded our sales and marketing efforts, with a sharp focus on expanding relationships with existing customers and cultivating new ones. Fiscal 2024 marked a year of overall progress and positioning for growth. Beginning in July 2025, we reduced employment, cutting expenses by an estimated $1.0 million annually.
21
As a result of recent contract awards, as of June 30, 2025 we had total unfilled contract values amounting to $272.9 million (including our $128.5 million in backlog plus additional potential orders against LTA agreements previously awarded to us). Our backlog of firm orders and expected orders under LTA’s provide a firm foundation for future growth, and improving profitability. However, the long-lead times to receive raw materials and then manufacture the products means that significant improvement in sales and profitability will not be achieved during the balance of 2025. We expect that sales and profitability will begin to improve in early 2026 and continue to improve during the balance of the year.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025
Net Sales: Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $12,659,000, a decrease of $913,000, or 6.7%, compared with $13,572,000 that we achieved in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The period-over-period decrease in net sales was primarily due to overall changes in the mix of products delivered in response to customer orders.

Period-to-period changes in customer mix and related platforms and programs are largely attributable to customer requirements, availability of parts, production capacity and timing.
Gross Profit: Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $2,028,000 as compared to $2,644,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased to 16.0% from the 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in margin can be attributed to changes in the sales across our major platforms, shifts in product mix, and underutilization of personnel.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses was $2,020,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $128,000, from $1,892,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, operating expenses increased to 16.0%, compared to the 13.9% achieved during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The dollar increase was primarily driven by $153,000 in stock compensation expense offset by our allowance for credit loss. We continue to look for ways to reduce our costs and improve our operating performance and financial results.
Interest Expense: Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) was $446,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $28,000 or 5.9% from $474,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower borrowing levels during a portion of the period and a decrease in the average interest rate on outstanding debt pursuant to our Current Credit Facility which decreased to 6.85% in 2025 as compared to 7.85% in 2024.
Net (Loss) Income: Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $422,000, compared to a net income of $298,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.

The period-over-period decrease in net sales was primarily due to overall changes in the mix of products delivered in response to customer orders.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $4,062,000 as compared to $4,550,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased slightly to 16.4% from 16.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in margin can be attributable to changes in the sales across our major platforms, shifts in product mix, and underutilization of personnel.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses was $4,800,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $743,000, from $4,057,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, operating expenses increased to 19.4%, compared to the 14.7% incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The dollar increase was primarily driven by increases in stock compensation expense, and costs associated with the continued improvement of our information technology system and hardening our cyber-security defenses. We continue to look for ways to reduce our costs and improve our operating performance and financial results.
Interest Expense: Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) was $890,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $46,000 or 4.9% from $936,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower borrowing levels during a portion of the period and a decrease in the average interest rate on outstanding debt pursuant to our Current Credit Facility which decreased to 6.85% in 2025 as compared to 7.85% in 2024.
Net Loss: Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,410,000, compared to a net loss of $408,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.

| 2) | Related Party Notes of approximately $4,871,000. This debt matures on July 1, 2026. Pursuant to the Current Credit Facility we were permitted to make principal payments against this debt prior to June 30, 2025 with money raised pursuant to the sale of our securities under our Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective December 19, 2024. |
| 3) | Various equipment leases and contractual obligations related to our business, including advances under our Solar Facility for the installation of solar energy systems including the replacement of the existing roof at our Sterling Facility. |
Under the terms of the Current Credit Facility, as amended, we are required to meet a prescribed Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) that is determined at the end of each fiscal quarter. This ratio is a financial metric that we use to measure our ability to cover fixed charges such as interest and lease expenses as divided by EBITDA (as defined in the Current Credit Facility) which represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is required to meet a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a rolling twelve month basis of 1.05x. As of June 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with this ratio having only attained a ratio of 0.76x.
The Current Credit Facility expires on December 30, 2025. In addition, we are in default under the Current Credit Facility due to our failure to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio required for the period ended June 30, 2025. We are required to maintain a collection account with our lender into which substantially all cash receipts are remitted. As a result of our failure to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period ended June 30, 2025, our lender could choose to exercise its rights under the Current Credit Facility, for example, increase the rate of interest or refuse to make loans under the revolving portion of the Current Credit Facility and keep the funds remitted to the collection account. If the lender were to raise the rate of interest, it would adversely impact our operating results. If the lender were to cease making new loans under the revolving facility, we would lack the funds to continue operations. The Current Credit Facility expiration date, our failure to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the rights granted to the lender, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the one year commencing as of the date of filing this report.
The following is a brief discussion of the recent amendments to the Current Credit Facility (all of which have been filed with the SEC):
| ● | On May 31, 2024, we entered into a Seventh Amendment that waived the default caused by our failure to achieve the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Sixth Amendment. This amendment further revised our Financial Covenants. For the six months ending June 30, 2024 our EBITDA shall not be less than $740,000; for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 our EBITDA shall not be less than $1,500,000; for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024 our EBITDA shall not be less than $2,800,000. For the rolling twelve month period ending March 31, 2025, we are required to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.05x. Beginning with the rolling twelve month period ending June 30, 2025 and going forward we are required to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25x. All other covenants remain unchanged. Additionally, this amendment increased the Term Loan by approximately $1,000,000 to $5,700,000, with monthly principal installments in the amount of $68,000. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000. |
25
| ● | On January 30, 2025, we entered into an Eighth Amendment to provide for an additional Term Loan in the amount of $1,640,000 for the acquisition of equipment. The monthly principal installments on this additional Term Loan are $19,524. This amendment further revised our Financial Covenants. For the rolling twelve-month period ending March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, we are required to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.05x. Beginning with the rolling twelve-month period ending September 30, 2025 and going forward the Company is required to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25x. All other covenants remain unchanged. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000. |
In addition to required Term Loan payments of approximately $1,011,000 in fiscal 2025, we may have to make additional payments. For so long as the Term Loan under the Current Credit Facility remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive amount for any fiscal year, we are obligated to pay an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan. Such payment shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term loan, on or prior to the April 15 immediately following such fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, based on the calculation, a payment was not required.
In addition to the outstanding indebtedness under the Current Credit Facility and Related Party Notes, we have various equipment leases and contractual obligations of an ongoing nature which we service in the ordinary course out of our cash flow from operations.
Our material cash requirements are for debt service, capital expenditures and working capital. We have historically met these requirements with funds provided by a combination of cash generated from operating activities and cash generated from equity and debt financings. Although navigating the current business landscape remains challenging and it is difficult to predict period-to-period financial performance, based on the amounts recently raised pursuant to our ATM, our current revenue visibility and the strength of our backlog, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Our ability to do so, however, is dependent upon our ability to continue to borrow under our Current Credit Facility and extend the maturity dates of the Current Credit Facility and our subordinated debt. We have begun negotiations with both our lender under the Current Credit Facility and the holders of our subordinated debt in an effort to extend the maturity date of their loans. On August 4, 2025, we received a notice from our lender under the Current Credit Facility citing our default of the FCCR covenant and reserving its rights and remedies.
While we are focused on our business, we will explore our options to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds on terms which we believe are favorable. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities to raise capital or increases in the rates of interest payable to our current lenders or issuances of equity securities to obtain their agreements to extend their debt will likely increase our interest expense and result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, as part of a refinancing we might be required to agree to more restrictive business or financial covenants. We could be required to issue equity securities at prices we believe are below what we believe to be the true value which could cause the price of our common stock to decrease. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional borrowings would likely require the consent of our lender under the Current Credit Facility, could require that we grant the lenders a security interest or other rights that impede our ability to operate as we deem best for our shareholders. Further, any default under a loan agreement could result in an action which could force us to seek bankruptcy protection. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all.
Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of debt or equity is dependent upon the state of the financial markets at such time as we may seek to raise funds. The state of the capital markets may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as public health crises, ongoing or new conflicts, banking crises, increases in inflation, the imposition of tariffs and shifts in government alliances and other risks detailed in the risk factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount outstanding under our Revolving Line of Credit was $12,094,000, leaving $7,906,000 of availability to support our growth, subject to having the requisite collateral and maintaining compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 in an At The Market (“ATM”) offering pursuant to a Registration Statement declared effective on December 19, 2024, we sold 97,866 shares for gross proceeds of $340,000. In July we sold an additional 905,787 shares for gross proceeds of $3,623,000. Since initiating the ATM in December 2024, we have sold a total of 1,330,444 shares for gross proceeds of $5,375,000.
Cash Flow
The following table summarizes our net cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated below (in thousands):
| Six months ended | ||||||||

| Net decrease in cash | $ | (246 | ) | $ | (99 | ) | ||
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated $1,870,000 of cash flows from operations as compared to $334,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to collections of accounts receivable and an increase in non-cash expenses partially offset by the net loss and an increase in inventory.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated $334,000 of cash flows from operations as compared to $1,406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The reduction was due primarily to the net loss and the use of a portion of customer deposits which had been advanced in 2023 for the procurement of long lead time raw materials expected to be utilized during 2024.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the first half of 2025, we continued to make investments to enhance our competitiveness and market position. Cash used in investing activities of $2,113,000 and $1,224,000, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was for new machinery and equipment. Investments in 2025 and 2024 increased our production efficiency and speed, while enabling us to maintain closer tolerances. They also expanded the size of products we can manufacture.
During fiscal 2025, we will only make investments in capital equipment necessary to maintain our competitiveness or enhance our ability to produce products subject to funded orders. We expect to invest approximately an additional $400,000 during the remainder of 2025 principally for tooling required to produce product.
27
Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities was $3,000. During this period, we obtained cash by increasing our borrowings under our Current Credit Facility by $344,000 (consisting of a net decrease in Revolving Loan borrowings of $811,000 and a net increase in our Term Loan of $1,155,000) and issuing stock for cash in the amount of $1,185,000. We used cash by paying $1,291,000 of subordinated notes - related party, $109,000 pursuant to financing lease obligations and $5,000 on a loan payable and $127,000 for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $791,000. During this period, we increased borrowings under our Current Credit Facility by $887,000 (consisting of a net increase in Revolving Loan borrowings of $343,000, and a net increase of $544,000 in the Term Loan). We also made payments of $92,000 pursuant to financing lease obligations and $4,000 on a loan payable.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A critical accounting estimate is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and our judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these financial statements include, inventory valuation, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, income tax provision, and allowance for credit losses. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates as compared to the estimates described in the 2024 Annual Report which we believe are the most critical to our business and understanding of our results of operations and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we use in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2025.Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025.
As reported in our 2024 Form 10-K, in connection with their review of our internal controls as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, our management identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to our IT systems which has yet to be remediated. During fiscal 2024, we implemented new controls and procedures to eliminate this weakness but additional enhancements and more formalized documentation are still required. Tests of such controls and procedures are ongoing and the material weakness noted will only be deemed to have been remediated after the new controls and procedures have been in place for a sufficient period and management has concluded through appropriate testing that the controls are operating effectively. As such, we consider this material weakness to not be remediated as of June 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation and as a result of this material weakness, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025. For more information, see Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During 2025, the Company is continuing to test such controls and procedures designed to remediate the aforementioned material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter which is the subject of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
