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. ii PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION Page No. Item 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 nine months ended September 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, 2024, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2024 was derived. Going Concern and Management’s Plan As of September 30, 2025, debt under our Current Credit Facility and Related Party Subordinated Notes approximates $ 26,827,000 . The Current Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on December 30, 2025, and the Related Party Subordinated Notes mature on June 30, 2026. These obligations are classified as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. As a result of the aforementioned and rights that our Current Credit Facility lender could exercise, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of filing of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is actively engaged in constructive discussions with all lenders regarding potential refinancing or extension of these obligations. While these discussions have been professional and remain ongoing, there can be no assurance that agreements will be reached with existing lenders or through alternative financing sources. To support current operations and strategic initiatives, the Company has raised capital through public market sales of its common stock since December 2024 and believes it can continue to access equity markets in future periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated gross proceeds of $ 4,869,000 through an At The Market (“ATM”) Offering, of which approximately $ 3,930,000 is restricted for the benefit of the Current Credit Facility lender. In light of ongoing negotiations with all of our lenders, the Company has temporarily paused all equity raising activity while evaluating the most effective capital structure going forward. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its minimum Fixed Coverage Charge ratio (“FCCR”) of 1.25x on a rolling 12-month basis but was in default of the requirement that fixed asset acquisitions not exceed $ 2,500,000 . Additionally, the Company has not yet obtained a waiver with respect to its default of a required minimum FCCR of 1.05x on a rolling 12-month basis, as of June 30, 2025, having only attained a ratio of 0.76x. All other financial and business covenants under the terms its Current Credit Facility were met as of September 30, 2025. The terms of all outstanding indebtedness are discussed further in “Note 5. Debt”. Management remains focused on enhancing profitability and improving cash flows through cost reductions, margin improvements, and long-term revenue growth. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company initiated cost-saving measures—including a workforce reduction—to better align operating expenses with anticipated production volumes. Additional cost-savings measures may be considered. 7 As a result of recent contract awards, as of September 30, 2025, the Company had total unfilled contract values amounting to $ 269.0 million (including its $ 131.8 million in backlog plus additional potential funded orders against Long-Term Agreements (“LTAs”) previously awarded to us). These unfilled contract values support a positive outlook for future growth; however, extended lead times for raw material procurement and the complexity of manufacturing processes are expected to delay revenue acceleration until early 2026. 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 for the product requires the Company to absorb the first five percent ( 5 %) of any cost increases with further increases absorbed by the customer. 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 significant 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. Additionally, given its current defaults, the Company’s Current Credit Facility lender could choose to exercise its rights, for example, increasing 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 or exercise other remedies available under the Current Credit Facility, it would adversely impact the Company’s operating results. If the lender were to cease making new loans under the revolving facility or limit availability under the revolving facility, the Company would lack the funds to continue operations or, possibly, expand its operations. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is set forth in the table below: Balance at Beginning of Period Charged to Expenses Deductions from the Allowance Balance at End of Period Nine Months ended September 30, 2025 Allowance for Credit Losses $ 396,000 $ 76,000 $ ( 96,000 ) $ 376,000 Nine Months ended September 30, 2024 Allowance for Credit Losses $ 344,000 $ 26,000 $ ( 133,000 ) $ 237,000 Inventory Valuation The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or an estimated net realizable value. 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. 8 Inventories consist of the following at: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Raw Materials $ 7,298,000 $ 6,318,000 Work In Progress 17,687,000 13,028,000 Semi-Finished Goods 8,228,000 8,805,000 Final-Finished Goods 1,214,000 660,000 Total Inventory $ 34,427,000 $ 28,811,000 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. The composition of customers that exceeded 10% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Percentage of Net Sales Customer 2025 2024 RTX (a) 38.2 % 30.9 % Lockheed 30.2 % 23.9 % Northrop 3.2 % 18.3 % (a) RTX includes Collins Landing Systems and Collins Aerostructures The composition of customers that exceeded 10% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Percentage of Net Sales Customer 2025 2024 RTX (a) 37.1 % 29.8 % Lockheed 32.5 % 25.1 % Northrop 6.6 % 19.9 % (a) RTX includes Collins Landing Systems and Collins Aerostructures 9 The composition of customers that exceed 10% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are shown below: Percentage of Net Receivables Customer September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 RTX (a) 53.3 % 38.2 % Lockheed 18.7 % 8.6 % Northrop 3.0 % 11.0 % Ontic 2.6 % 14.6 % (a) RTX includes Collins Landing Systems and Collins Aerostructures Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2025 and 2024: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Product September 30, 2025 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2025 September 30, 2024 Military $ 5,377,000 $ 7,968,000 $ 20,549,000 $ 28,272,000 Commercial 4,932,000 4,587,000 14,562,000 11,916,000 Total $ 10,309,000 $ 12,555,000 $ 35,111,000 $ 40,188,000 Cash and Restricted Cash During the period ended September 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. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 the Company reported restricted cash of $ 3,930,000 and $ 0 on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash represents proceeds from the Company’s ATM offering that are pledged as security for its obligations under the Current Credit Facility. The following table reconciles cash and restricted cash reported with the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Cash $ 126,000 $ 753,000 Restricted Cash 3,930,000 - Total cash and restricted cash $ 4,056,000 $ 753,000 10 Major Suppliers The Company utilizes sole-source suppliers to supply raw materials or other parts used in production of certain 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, 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 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, customer deposits were $ 442,000 and $ 1,115,000 respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $ 0 and $ 673,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2024. The Company recognized revenue of $ 544,000 and $ 1,840,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2023. Backlog Backlog represents the value of orders received pursuant to our Long-Term Agreements (“LTA”) or spot orders pursuant to a purchase order. As of September 30, 2025, backlog relating to remaining performance obligations on contracts was approximately $ 131.8 million as compared to our backlog of $ 128.5 million at June 30, 2025. The Company estimates that a substantial portion of our current backlog will be recognized as net sales during the next twenty-four months, with the rest thereafter. This expectation assumes that raw material supplies and outsourced processing is completed and delivered on time and that the Company’s customers will accept delivery as scheduled. The Company anticipates that sales during future periods will also include sales from new orders that are not included in backlog. Contract Costs Receivable Contract costs receivable represent costs to be reimbursed from a terminated contract. The Company collected the contract cost receivable of $ 296,000 at December 31, 2024 in March of 2025. Contract costs receivable at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $0 and $ 296,000 , respectively. 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, restricted units and warrants using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method. 11 There were no adjustments to net loss applicable to common shareholders utilized to calculate EPS. The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock and because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to net loss incurred during that period: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2025 September 30, 2024 Stock Options 373,103 154,250 373,103 154,250 Restricted Stock Units 190,418 282,628 190,418 282,628 Convertible notes payable 361,700 405,800 361,700 405,800 925,221 842,678 925,221 842,678 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 $ 152,000 and $ 150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 744,000 and $ 186,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock compensation expense for directors amounted to $ 14,000 and $ 40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 92,000 and $ 116,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock compensation expenses for employees and directors were included in operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 expense 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. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic326): Measurement of Credit Loss for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets arising under ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of 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. 12 Note 3.

Current credit facilities and finance lease obligations consist of the following: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Current Credit Facility – Revolver $ 15,838,000 $ 12,905,000 Current Credit Facility – Term Loan 6,118,000 5,225,000 Solar Credit Facility 970,000 970,000 Finance lease obligations 841,000 1,007,000 Loans Payable - financed assets 7,000 14,000 Subtotal 23,774,000 20,121,000 Less: Current portion ( 22,227,000 ) ( 18,362,000 ) Long-Term Portion $ 1,547,000 $ 1,759,000 Current Credit Facility The Company has a credit facility (“Current Credit Facility”) with Webster Bank that expires on December 30, 2025 . This facility, which was entered into on December 31, 2019, was amended several times (see summary of amendments below), and now provides for a $ 20,000,000 revolving loan (“Revolving Line of Credit”) and a $ 5,700,000 term loan (“Term Loan”). An additional advance under the term loan was made during the first quarter of 2025 in the amount of $ 1,640,000 and reference herein to the “Term Loan” for periods after the date of such advance include the $ 1,640,000 . The loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2025, there is $ 15,838,000 outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit and $ 6,118,000 under the Term Loan. As discussed in Note 1, the Current Credit Facility expires on December 30, 2025 and the Company has not received waivers for defaults of certain covenants that it failed to meet. Therefore, amounts owed under the agreement are classified as short term as of September 30, 2025. 14 Interest expense related to the Current Credit Facility amounted to approximately $ 347,000 and $ 332,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 988,000 and $ 980,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred finance costs of $ 17,000 and $ 17,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 51,000 and $ 51,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The below summarizes various terms of the Current Credit Facility: ● The Company is required to meet a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) that is determined at the end of each fiscal quarter on a rolling twelve month basis of 1.05x and beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company is required to meet a Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio of 1.25x. At December 31, 2024, the Company was in full compliance with its covenants. The Company achieved the required FCCR for the period ended September 30, 2025, but did not meet the required FCCR for the period ended June 30, 2025, having attained a ratio of only 0.76x. ● The Current Credit Facility limits the amount of capital expenditures and dividends the Company can pay to its stockholders. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had exceeded the limitation on capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025. ● Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral. ● For so long as the Term Loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year the Company shall pay an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent ( 25 %) of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year 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 there was no Excess Cash Flow payment required. ● Both the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loan will bear an interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 3.50% and (ii) a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum published from time to time in the “Money Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal (or such other presentation within The Wall Street Journal as may be adopted hereafter for such information) as the base or prime rate for corporate loans at the nation’s largest commercial bank, less sixty-five hundredths (-0.65%) of one percent per annum. The average interest rate charged was 6.81 % and 7.78 % for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 6.84 % and 7.83 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The below summarizes certain historical amendments to the Current Credit Facility: ● On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment that waived the default caused by the Company’s failure to achieve the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio required by the Sixth Amendment. This amendment further revised the Financial Covenants. For the six months ending June 30, 2025 EBITDA shall not be less than $ 740,000 ; for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 EBITDA shall not be less than $ 1,500,000 ; for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024 EBITDA shall not be less than $ 2,800,000 . For the rolling twelve-month period ending March 31, 2025, the Company is required to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.05x. Beginning with the rolling twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025 and forward the Company is 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 . ● On January 30, 2025, the Company 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. Additionally, the Company is allowed to pay off prior to June 30, 2025, up to $ 4,800,000 of related party notes with funds raised in the Company’s At The Market debt offering. All other covenants remain unchanged. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $ 20,000 . 15 ● On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment where it agreed that the $ 3,930,000 of the proceeds from its ATM Offering would be maintained in an interest bearing account. The funds in this account serve as additional security for its obligations under the Current Credit Facility. Currently, at any time, Webster Bank could choose to exercise additional rights, that it has as a result of the Company’s defaults under the Current Credit Facility. For example, it could 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 cease making new loans under the revolving facility or limit the amount of loans under the revolving facility, the Company would lack the funds to continue or, possibly, expand operations. To date, the lender has chosen not to exercise any of its remedies, though we agreed to put $ 3,930,000 of ATM proceeds in an interest bearing account to serve as additional security for the Company’s obligations under the Current Credit Facility. We remain in constructive discussions with Webster Bank regarding potential refinancing or extension of these obligations but there can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached. All amendment fees paid in connection with the Current Credit Facility that are for a future benefit of the Company are included in Deferred Financing Costs, Net, Deposits and Other Assets, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the loan. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has borrowing capacity of approximately $ 4,162,000 under the Revolving Loan. Solar Credit Facility On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into a financing agreement (“Solar Credit Facility”) with CT Green Bank, a quasi-public agency of the State of Connecticut, for the installation of solar energy systems including replacing the existing roof (“Project”) at its Sterling facility. Advances were made by CT Green Bank upon its approval of costs incurred on the Project up to $934,000. As of October 1, 2024, cumulative advances totaling $ 934,000 had been made including the payment of CT Green Bank’s closing costs of $ 25,000 . Total interest accrued on the advances at the rate of 5 % was $ 36,000 . On October 1, 2024, the total cumulative advances of $ 934,000 along with the total accrued interest of $ 36,000 was converted by CT Green Bank, in accordance with the financing agreement, to a 20 -year level payment term loan in the amount of $ 970,000 with interest accruing at the rate of 5.75 %. Semiannual payments in the amount of $ 42,000 are due commencing on July 1, 2025. The first semi-annual payment was paid for interest only, subsequent semiannual payments beginning with the payment due on January 1, 2026 will include both principal and interest. As of September 30, 2025, the amount classified as short term is $ 28,000 and the amount classified as long term is $ 942,000 . Interest expense related to the Solar Credit Facility amounted to approximately $ 14,000 and $ 11,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 42,000 and $ 30,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On October 2, 2018, Contract Pharmacal Corp. (“Contract Pharmacal”) commenced an action, relating to a Sublease entered into between the Company and Contract Pharmacal in May 2018 with respect to the property that was formerly occupied by the Company’s former subsidiary WMI, at 110 Plant Avenue, Hauppauge, New York. In the action, Contract Pharmacal sought damages for an amount in excess of $ 1,000,000 for the Company’s alleged violation of the terms of the subject sublease, specifically the failure to make the entire premises available by what it claims was the Sublease commencement date. The validity of the action is extremely suspect in that the subject sublease had no specific commencement date and Contract Pharmacal ultimately received all the space. Discovery was conducted and the Plaintiff moved for summary judgement and to amend its complaint to add a new cause of action all of which the company opposed. On July 8, 2021, the Court denied Contract Pharmacal’s motion for summary judgement and to add an additional cause of action. In the Order, the Court granted Contract Pharmacal’s Motions to drop its claim for specific performance and to amend its Complaint to reduce its claim for damages to $ 700,000 both of which benefit the Company. Following the Court’s decision, Contract Pharmacal filed a Motion to reargue its original motion which the Company opposed. The Court denied that motion on November 30, 2021 and then on March 10, 2022, Contract Pharmacal filed an appeal of the Court’s decision with the Appellate Division of the State of New York. The Company opposed that action. The Company was again successful as the Appellate Division upheld the lower court’s denial of Contract Pharmacal’s motion for summary judgement and its motion to amend its Complaint. Contract Pharmacal has now submitted a motion to the Appellate Division requesting leave to reargue the court’s denial of its original appeal. The Company will oppose that motion. The Company continues to dispute the validity of the claims asserted by Contract Pharmacal and intends to contest them vigorously. The Appellate Division has yet to act in respect of Contract Pharmacal’s most recent motion to reargue the Court’s denial of the original appeal. The Company anticipates that due to Contract Pharmacal’s most recent motion, nothing of consequence will happen with respect to this legal action over the next twelve months. From time to time the Company may be engaged in various lawsuits and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in its judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results. There are no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder of its common stock, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. Note 9. INCOME TAXES The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero . In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. 21 Note 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer , who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM used consolidated sales, gross margin and net income (loss) to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the need to allocate its budget to operating expenses and invest in additional equipment. The segment assets are equal to the assets presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM are disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations as a part of the condensed consolidated net income (loss). See the condensed consolidated financial statements for all financial information regarding the Company’s operating segment. All revenues of the Company are earned in the United States of America. The Company’s long-lived tangible assets, as well as the Company’s operating lease right-of use assets recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were located in the United States. 22 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and 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, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in this report and our 2024 Form 10-K that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking 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, helicopters 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. A substantial portion of our net sales are concentrated amongst a number of defense and aerospace prime contractors and 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. As a result of recent contract awards, as of September 30, 2025 we had total unfilled contract values amounting to $269.0 million (including our $131.8 million in backlog plus additional potential orders against LTA agreements previously awarded to us). Our backlog of firm orders, along with anticipated orders under existing LTA’s, provides a solid foundation for future growth, and improved profitability. However, due to extended lead times for raw material procurement and the complexity of manufacturing processes, meaningful increases in sales and profitability are not expected until fiscal 2026. 23 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Selected Financial Information: Three Months Ending September 30, 2025 2025 Percentage of Net Sales Three Months Ending September 30, 2024 2024 Percentage of Net Sales Change 2025 vs 2024 Percent Change 2025 vs 2024 Net sales $ 10,309,000 100.0 % $ 12,555,000 100.0 % $ (2,246,000 ) -17.9 % Cost of sales 8,014,000 77.7 % 10,614,000 84.5 % (2,600,000 ) -24.5 % Gross profit 2,295,000 22.3 % 1,941,000 15.5 % 354,000 18.2 % Operating expenses 1,979,000 19.2 % 1,874,000 14.9 % 105,000 5.6 % Interest expense 466,000 4.5 % 482,000 3.8 % (16,000 ) -3.3 % Other income, net 106,000 1.0 % 11,000 0.1 % 95,000 863.6 % Provision for income taxes - 0.0 % - 0.0 % - 0.0 % Net loss $ (44,000 ) -0.4 % $ (404,000 ) -3.2 % $ 360,000 -89.1 % Nine Months Ending September 30, 2025 2025 Percentage of Net Sales Nine Months Ending September 30, 2024 2024 Percentage of Net Sales Change 2025 vs 2024 Percent Change 2025 vs 2024 Net sales $ 35,111,000 100.0 % $ 40,188,000 100.0 % $ (5,077,000 ) -12.6 % Cost of sales 28,754,000 81.9 % 33,697,000 83.8 % (4,943,000 ) -14.7 % Gross profit 6,357,000 18.1 % 6,491,000 16.2 % (134,000 ) -2.1 % Operating expenses 6,779,000 19.3 % 5,931,000 14.8 % 848,000 14.3 % Interest expense 1,354,000 3.9 % 1,418,000 3.5 % (64,000 ) -4.5 % Other income, net 322,000 0.9 % 46,000 0.1 % 276,000 600.0 % Provision for income taxes - 0.0 % - 0.0 % - 0.0 % Net loss $ (1,454,000 ) -4.1 % $ (812,000 ) -2.0 % $ (642,000 ) 79.1 % Balance Sheet Data: September 30, December 31, Percent 2025 2024 Change Change Cash $ 126,000 $ 753,000 (627,000 ) -83.3 % Working capital $ 4,322,000 $ 11,776,000 (7,454,000 ) -63.3 % Total assets $ 57,951,000 $ 51,011,000 6,940,000 13.6 % Total stockholders’ equity $ 18,843,000 $ 14,948,000 3,895,000 26.1 % Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 Net Sales: Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $10,309,000, a decrease of $2,246,000, or 17.9%, compared with $12,555,000 that we achieved in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The period-over-period decrease in net sales was primarily due to timing and overall changes in the mix of products delivered in response to customer orders. 24 The composition of customers that exceeded 10% of our net sales for the three months end 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Customer Percentage of Net Sales 2025 2024 RTX (a) 38.2 % 30.9 % Lockheed 30.2 % 23.9 % Northrop 3.2 % 18.3 % (a) RTX includes Collins Landing Systems and Collins Aerostructures The composition of our net sales by platform or program profiles for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Platform or Program Percentage of Net Sales 2025 2024 GTF 33.4 % 27.2 % UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter 20.9 % 21.2 % CH-53 Helicopter 10.5 % 5.8 % F-35 Lightning II 5.9 % 2.0 % E2-D Hawkeye 4.1 % 24.5 % F-18 Hornet 1.0 % 1.5 % All other platforms 24.2 % 17.8 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 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 September 30, 2025, was $2,295,000 as compared to $1,941,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased to 22.3% from the 15.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in margin can be attributed to changes in the sales across our major platforms, shifts in product mix, and cost reductions implemented during the period. Operating Expenses: Operating expenses was $1,979,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $105,000, from $1,874,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, operating expenses increased to 19.2%, compared to the 14.9% incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The dollar increase was primarily driven by increases in our stock compensation expense, and the timing of certain professional fees offset in part by reductions in wages and rent expenses. We continue to look for ways to reduce our operating expenses. Interest Expense: Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) was $466,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $16,000 or 3.3% from $482,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower levels of subordinate debt during a portion of the period. Net Loss: Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $44,000, compared to a net loss of $404,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above. 25 Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 Net Sales: Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $35,111,000, a decrease of $5,077,000, or 12.6%, compared with $40,188,000 that we achieved in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The period-over-period decrease in net sales was primarily due to timing and overall changes in the mix of products requested by delivered in response to customer orders. The composition of customers that exceeded 10% of our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Customer Percentage of Net Sales 2025 2024 RTX (a) 37.1 % 29.8 % Lockheed 32.5 % 25.1 % Northrop 6.6 % 19.9 % (a) RTX includes Collins Landing Systems and Collins Aerostructures The composition of our net sales by platform or program profiles for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown below: Platform or Program Percentage of Net Sales 2025 2024 GTF 31.7 % 22.0 % UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter 20.9 % 22.0 % CH-53 Helicopter 12.6 % 4.4 % E2-D Hawkeye 8.5 % 26.9 % F-35 Lightning II 4.8 % 3.3 % F-18 Hornet 1.4 % 3.3 % All other platforms 20.1 % 18.1 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % Gross Profit: Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $6,357,000 as compared to $6,491,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased to 18.1% from the 16.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in margin can be attributable to changes in sales across our major platforms, shifts in product mix, and cost reductions implemented during the period. Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $6,779,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $848,000, from $5,931,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, operating expenses increased to 19.3%, compared to the 14.8% incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The dollar increase was primarily driven by increases in stock compensation expense, our allowance for credit losses, professional fees, and costs associated with the continued improvement of our information technology system and hardening our cyber-security defense. We continue to look for ways to reduce our operating expenses. Interest Expense: Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) was $1,354,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $64,000 or 4.5% from $1,418,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower levels of subordinated debt during a portion of the period and a reduction in the average interest rate on outstanding debt pursuant to our Current Credit Facility which decreased to 6.84% in 2025 as compared to 7.83% in 2024. Net Loss: Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1,454,000, compared to a net loss of $812,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above. 26 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2025, we have debt service requirements related to: 1) Outstanding indebtedness under our Current Credit Facility of $21,956,000 (consisting of a Revolving Loan of $15,838,000 and a Term Loan of $6,118,000). This debt matures on December 30, 2025, and requires us to make monthly payments on the term loan of approximately $87,000 until the loan matures. Subject to having the requisite collateral and maintaining compliance with the terms, there is future availability of $4,162,000 to support future cash need. 2) Related Party Notes of approximately $4,871,000. This debt matures on July 1, 2026. 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. The discussion which follows regarding our liquidity and capital resources should be read in light of our need to satisfy or refinance our existing debt in the foreseeable future and/or cure existing defaults under the Current Credit Facility. The Current Credit Facility and Related Party Subordinated are classified as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of filing of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is actively engaged in constructive discussions with all lenders regarding potential refinancing or extension of these obligations. While these discussions have been professional and remain ongoing, there can be no assurance that agreements will be reached with existing lenders or through alternative financing sources. To support current operations and strategic initiatives, the Company raised capital through public market sales of its common stock since December 2024, and believes it can continue to access equity markets in future periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 1,213,593 shares of common stock and generated gross proceeds of $4,869,000 through an ATM Offering, of which approximately $3,930,000 is restricted for the benefit of the Current Credit Facility lender. Since initiating the ATM in December 2024, we have sold a total of 1,330,444 shares for gross proceeds of $5,375,000. In light of ongoing negotiations with all of our lenders, the Company has temporarily paused all equity raising activity while evaluating the most effective capital structure going forward. 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. We are also required to meet other business and financial covenants. The Company is currently in default of certain covenants under the Current Credit Facility and Webster Bank could choose to exercise its rights. For example, it could increase the rate of interest it charges us or refuse to make loans under the revolving portion of the Current Credit Facility. It could also keep funds remitted to the collection account. If the lender were to cease making new loans under the revolving facility or limit the amount of such loans, the Company would lack the funds to continue or expand operations and would need to seek immediate capital elsewhere. To date, the lender has chosen not to exercise any of its remedies, though we have agreed to place $3,930,000 of ATM proceeds in an interest bearing account to serve as additional security for the Company’s obligations under the Current Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its minimum Fixed Coverage Charge ratio (“FCCR”) of 1.25x on a rolling 12-month basis but was in default of the requirement that fixed asset acquisitions during fiscal 2025 not exceed $2,500.000. Additionally, we have not yet obtained a waiver with respect to our default of a required minimum FCCR of 1.05x on a rolling 12-month basis, as of June 30, 2025, having only attained a ratio of 0.76x. All other financial and business covenants under the terms its Current Credit Facility were met as of September 30, 2025. 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. 27 ● 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. ● On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment where we agreed that $3,930,000 of the proceeds from our ATM Offering would be maintained in an interest bearing account. The funds in this account serve as security for our obligations under the Current Credit Facility. In addition to required Term Loan payments of approximately $262,000 for the remainder of 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 ultimately extend the maturity dates of the Current Credit Facility and our Related Party Notes. The lender under the Current Credit Facility will likely require that the holders of our Related Party Notes extend the terms of these Notes and agree that payment of the Related Party Notes remains subordinated to our obligations under the Current Credit Facility as the same may be amended. 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 and seek to obtain the agreement of our principal lender and the holders of the Related Party Notes to refinance the amounts due. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities or increases in the rates of interest will likely 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 of our common stock 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. 28 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. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all and we may need to seek bankruptcy protection to restructure our debt. Management remains focused on enhancing profitability and improving cash flows through cost reductions, margin improvements, and long-term revenue growth. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company initiated cost-saving measures—including a workforce reduction—to better align operating expenses with anticipated production volumes. Additional adjustments may be considered as needed. Further details regarding outstanding indebtedness are provided in “Note 5. Debt.” Cash Flow The following table summarizes our net cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated below (in thousands): Nine months ended September 30, 2025 2024 Cash provided by (used in) Operating activities $ (754 ) $ 508 Investing activities (2,818 ) (1,493 ) Financing activities 6,875 825 Net increase (decrease) in cash $ 3,303 $ (160 ) Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used $754,000 of cash in operations as compared to generating $508,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The reduction was due primarily to a significant increase in inventory partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated cash of $508,000 from operations which was mainly attributable to reductions in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable. Cash Used in Investing Activities During the first nine months of 2025, we continued to make investments to enhance our competitiveness and market position. Cash used in investing activities of $2,818,000 and $1,493,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was for new property 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 the balance of 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 $350,000 during the remainder of 2025 principally for tooling required to produce product. 29 Cash Provided by Financing Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $6,875,000. During this period, we increased borrowings under our Current Credit Facility by $3,826,000 (consisting of a net increase in Revolving Loan borrowings of $2,933,000 and a net increase in our Term Loan of $893,000). We also sold an aggregate of 1,213,593 shares of common stock to the public for gross proceeds of $4,869,000. During this period we also made payments of $166,000 pursuant to financing lease obligations and $7,000 on a loan payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $825,000. During this period, we increased borrowings under our Current Credit Facility by $974,000 (consisting of a net increase in Revolving Loan borrowings of $633,000 and a net increase in our Term Loan of $341,000). We also made payments of $143,000 pursuant to financing lease obligations and $6,000 on a loan payable. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 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. 30 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 September 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 September 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 not to be remediated as of September 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 September 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. 31 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1A.
