+Added: MANAGEMENT’S DIS CUSSION
+Added: AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
+Added: following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated
+Added: financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Some of the information contained in this
+Added: discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties and should be read together with the “Risk
+Added: Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially
+Added: from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
+Added: December 12, 2025, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Western Alliance Bank (the “Bank”).
+Added: Loan and Security Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving
+Added: Line”) and a term loan in the original principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving
+Added: Line, the “Credit Facilities”).
+Added: connection with entering into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Credit Facilities, including
+Added: the full amount of the Term Loan and borrowings under the Revolving Line in the amount of $6,220,722 to repay in full all outstanding
+Added: obligations under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2016, (as amended), among the Company, the
+Added: several lenders from time to time parties thereto and BankUnited, N.A., as sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent (the
+Added: “BankUnited Credit Agreement”).
+Added: Upon such repayment, the BankUnited Credit Agreement and the related loan documents were
+Added: terminated in accordance with their terms, and all liens and security interests securing the obligations thereunder were released.
+Added: Company did not incur any early termination or prepayment penalties in connection with the termination of the BankUnited Credit Agreement.
+Added: are engaged in the contract production of structural aircraft assemblies for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial
+Added: and defense markets.
+Added: We also participate in the aerosystems sector through our production of reconnaissance pod structures and fuel panel
+Added: Within the global aerostructures and aerosystems supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft OEMs or a Tier 2
+Added: subcontractor to major Tier 1 manufacturers.
+Added: We also are a prime contractor to the U.S.
+Added: DOD, primarily the USAF.
+Added: In conjunction with
+Added: our assembly operations, we provide engineering, program management, supply chain management and kitting, and MRO services.
+Added: Accounting Estimates
+Added: preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
+Added: reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingencies during the reporting period.
+Added: Significant estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, and the valuation of deferred income taxes.
+Added: Actual results could differ
+Added: from those estimates.
+Added: believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies which require management’s most difficult, subjective
+Added: and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
+Added: more discussion of these and other significant accounting policies, refer to Part
+Added: II, Item 8, Note 1 “ Principal Business Activity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”
+Added: in our notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount
+Added: that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the good or service.
+Added: The majority of the Company’s
+Added: performance obligations are satisfied over time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has
+Added: an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date.
+Added: The application of this method
+Added: requires management to make estimates of total contract costs and progress toward completion.
+Added: the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue and gross profit are recognized over the contract period as work is performed based
+Added: on the relationship of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion (the cost-to-cost method).
+Added: These estimates are reviewed
+Added: periodically as work progresses and adjustments to estimated costs may affect the timing and amount of revenue and gross profit recognized.
+Added: See Part II, Item 8, Note 1, “Principal Business Activity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to
+Added: the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition
+Added: Income Taxes – Valuation Allowance
+Added: a quarterly basis, we assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets against future sources of taxable income and record a valuation
+Added: allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that all or a portion
+Added: of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company evaluates both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of
+Added: deferred tax assets, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback
+Added: and tax-planning strategies.
+Added: Greater weight is generally given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as cumulative losses in recent
+Added: years, which may represent significant negative evidence regarding realizability.
+Added: of Operations
+Added: following discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated
+Added: financial statements and notes thereto.

+Added: of $720,994 or 31.5%.

+Added: December 31, 2024, a decrease of $6,187,010 or 139.3%.

+Added: effort to mitigate potential negative impacts and risks to the Company.
+Added: The majority of the Company’s long-term contracts with
