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, 2026 and 2025 is set forth in the table below:

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:

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 June 30, 2026 and 2025 are shown below:

The composition of customers that exceeded 10% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are shown below:

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three and six months ending June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Cash

During the period ended June 30, 2026, 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, customer deposits were $3,464,000 and $391,000 respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $51,000 and $151,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2025. The Company recognized revenue of $142,000 and $673,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, that was included in the customer deposits balance as of December 31, 2024.

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 June 30, 2026, backlog relating to remaining performance obligations on contracts was approximately $139.7 million. The Company estimates that a substantial portion of this 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 the aforementioned periods will also include sales from expected new orders that are not included in backlog.

Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stock 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 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 the period:

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 $37,000 and $157,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $572,000 and $592,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A forfeiture adjustment of stock-based compensation for an employee amounted to $125,000 and $0 for both the three and six months ending June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for directors amounted to $22,000 and $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $451,000 and $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 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.

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. 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”, which clarifies interim reporting disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related 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.
