​

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

TechPrecision Corporation, or “TechPrecision”, is a Delaware corporation organized in February 2005 under the name Lounsberry Holdings II, Inc. On February 24, 2006, we acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of our wholly owned subsidiary Ranor, Inc., or “Ranor.” Ranor, together with its predecessors, has been in continuous operation since 1956. The name was changed to TechPrecision Corporation on March 6, 2006.

TechPrecision is the parent company of Ranor, Westminster Credit Holdings, LLC, or “WCH”, Stadco New Acquisition, LLC, or “Acquisition Sub”, and Stadco. TechPrecision, Ranor, WCH, Acquisition Sub and Stadco are collectively referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”.

We are a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components. The components that we manufacture are customer designed. We sell to customers in two main industry sections: defense and precision industrial markets.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TechPrecision, Ranor, Stadco, WCH, and Acquisition Sub. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or “U.S. GAAP”. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year.

These notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC”, for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 13, 2024.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical and current experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity and Going Concern - Our liquidity is highly dependent on the availability of financing facilities and our ability to generate positive operating cash flow. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reported a net loss of $1.5 million.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $1.6 million in total available liquidity, consisting primarily of $44,797 in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $1.5 million in undrawn capacity under our revolver loan. As of March 31, 2024, we had $0.6 million in total available liquidity, consisting of $0.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $0.5 million in undrawn capacity under our revolver loan.

The Company is the borrower under a Loan Agreement which was amended on May 28, 2024, Ranor and certain affiliates of the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Eighth Amendment” (see Note 11 – Debt). In addition to extending the maturity date of the revolver loan to August 30, 2024, the Eighth Amendment reduced the maximum principal amount from $5.0 million to $4.5 million and required that an operational assessment be performed, primarily at Stadco, by an acceptable third-party consultant. The lender has acknowledged receipt of that operational assessment of Stadco as required pursuant to the Eighth Amendment.

On September 4, 2024, Ranor and the other Borrowers entered into a Ninth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Ninth Amendment”, with Berkshire Bank. Effective August 30, 2024, the Ninth Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from August 30, 2024 to January 15, 2025.

The Company acknowledges that a certain event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to satisfy the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, or DSCR, for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2024. The lender reserves any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, its right to choose to accelerate and demand the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the loan documents, and to seek immediate repayment in full.

There was $7.5 million in total outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement on June 30, 2024. Without a waiver, the lender has the right, but not the obligation, to demand repayment from the Company for noncompliance with the debt covenants. In addition, the lender retains the right to act on covenant violations that occur after the date of delivery of any waiver. The lender has not granted us a waiver. As such, we need to seek alternative financing to pay these obligations as the Company does not have existing facilities or sufficient cash on hand to satisfy these obligations. It is also probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the same debt covenants at subsequent measurement dates within the next twelve months. As a result of the above, all of our long-term debt has been classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company is exploring various means of strengthening its liquidity position and ensuring compliance with its debt financing covenants by making Stadco operations profitable, renewing our revolver loan, or entering into alternative debt facilities.

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a private placement at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.3 million, (i) 666,100 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 666,100 shares of Common Stock. The combined purchase price for one share and one warrant was $3.45. The purpose of the private placement was to raise working capital for use by the Company. The closing of the offering occurred on July 8, 2024. (see Note 16 – Subsequent Events). Placement agent’s fees in connection with the offering totaled $126,014. Proceeds under the agreement were received after June 30, 2024.

In order for us to continue operations beyond the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements and to be able to discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, we must renew our revolver loan by January 15, 2025, or seek alternative financing if the lender calls the loan due to default. We must mitigate our recurring operating losses at our Stadco subsidiary, efficiently increase utilization of our manufacturing capacity, and improve the manufacturing process. We plan to closely monitor our expenses and, if required, will reduce operating costs to enhance liquidity.

The uncertainty associated with the recurring operating losses at Stadco, the revolver loan renewal, the need for alternative financing, and compliance with debt covenants at subsequent measurement dates raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one-year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates that we will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should we be required to liquidate assets. Our ability to satisfy our current liabilities and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s compliance with the debt covenants, renewing the revolver loan, and its ability to grow revenue and reduce costs at Stadco. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this update to determine the impact it may have on the disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance in this update enhances segment reporting by expanding the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures required for public entities and allows registrants to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss. This update requires a public entity to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. A significant segment expense is any significant expense incurred by the segment, including direct expenses, shared expenses, allocated corporate overhead, or interest expense that is regularly reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, and is included in the measure of segment profit or loss. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this update to determine the impact it may have on the disclosures to its condensed consolidated financial statements and will apply the guidance retrospectively.

​

NOTE 3 – REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from performance obligations completed under contracts with customers in two main market sectors: defense and precision industrial. The period over which the Company performs its obligations is generally between three and thirty-six months. Revenue is recognized over-time or at a point-in-time given the terms and conditions of the related contracts. The Company utilizes an inputs methodology based on estimated labor hours to measure performance progress. This model best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. The Company’s contract portfolio is comprised of fixed-price contracts and provide for product type revenue only. The following table presents revenue on a disaggregated basis by market and contract type:

​

​

​

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $41.2 million of remaining performance obligations, of which $34.9 million were less than 50% complete. The Company expects to recognize all of its remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next thirty-six months.

We are dependent each year on a small number of customers who generate a significant portion of our business, and these customers change from year to year. The following table sets forth revenue from customers who accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

​

*Less than 10% of total

In our condensed consolidated balance sheet, contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets consist of the following at:

​

​

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized revenue of $0.9 million and $0.9 million related to our contract liabilities at April 1, 2024 and 2023. Contract liabilities consist of the following at:

​

​

​

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have determined that it is more likely than not that certain future tax benefits may not be realized. The assessment was based on the weight of negative evidence at the balance sheet date, our recent operating losses and unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against deferred tax assets that are unlikely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdictions, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and other factors prior to the expiration date of the carryforwards. A change in the estimates used to make this determination could require an increase or a reduction the valuation allowance currently recorded against those deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was approximately $5.6 million at June 30, 2024 and $5.3 million at March 31, 2024. We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax assets will not be realized.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no change in our judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years, and, therefore, no expense or benefit provided for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of ($146,430) with an effective tax rate of 21.7%.

​

NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS also includes the effect of stock options and restricted stock that would be dilutive. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods ended:

​

​

​

All potential common stock equivalents that have an anti-dilutive effect are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were potential anti-dilutive stock options, warrants and restricted stock of 542,500, 25,000, and 15,000, respectively, none of which were included in the earnings per share calculations above. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were potential anti-dilutive stock options and warrants of 667,500 and 25,000, none of which were included in the earnings per share calculations above.

​

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The 2016 TechPrecision Equity Incentive Plan, or the “2016 Plan”, is designed to reflect our commitment to having best practices in both compensation and corporate governance. The 2016 Plan provides for a share reserve of 1,250,000 shares of common stock.

The 2016 Plan authorizes the award of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance awards to employees, directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to TechPrecision or its affiliates. The purpose of the 2016 Plan is to: (a) enable TechPrecision and its affiliated companies to recruit and retain highly qualified employees, directors and consultants; (b) provide those employees, directors and consultants with an incentive for productivity; and (c) provide those employees, directors and consultants with an opportunity to share in the growth and value of the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2016 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued with respect to awards under the 2016 Plan is 1,250,000 shares (inclusive of awards issued under the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the “2006 Plan”, that remained outstanding as of the effective date of the 2016 Plan). Shares of our common stock subject to awards that expire unexercised or are otherwise forfeited shall again be available for awards under the 2016 Plan.

At June 30, 2024, there were 257,500 shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan. The following table summarizes information about options granted during the most recently completed periods:

​

​

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2024. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The maximum contractual term is ten years for option grants. Other information relating to stock options outstanding at June 30, 2024 is as follows:

​

​

Restricted Stock Award

​

On August 3, 2023, we issued 15,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Company’s new CFO. Under the terms of the employment agreement, provided employment with the Company continues from the grant date through the applicable vesting dates, 5,000 shares of the restricted stock will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the effective employment date of July 17, 2023. Fair value of $110,700 was measured on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Stock-based compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the vesting period. Total recognized compensation cost related to this award for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $9,225. On June 30, 2024, there was $73,800 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to this award which is expected to be recognized over the next twenty-four months.

​

NOTE 7 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

We maintain bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. We have not experienced any losses with these accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

On June 30, 2024, there were trade accounts receivable balances outstanding from four customers comprising 69% of the total trade receivables balance. The following table sets forth information as to trade accounts receivable from customers who accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance as of:

​

*less than 10% of total

​

NOTE 8 - OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

​

​

​

NOTE 9 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

​

​

​

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded depreciation expense of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

We capitalize interest on borrowings during active construction period for major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Interest capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $97 and $28,168, respectively.

In September 2023, the Company signed an agreement to make additional equipment upgrades for a certain customer. We recognize new purchases as a fixed asset and billings for reimbursement from the customer as a contra-asset. Future depreciation of the asset will be offset directly by the amortization of the contra-asset on a net basis in the statement of operations. The amortization period will match the schedule of depreciation set forth under our policies.

​

NOTE 10 - ACCRUED EXPENSES

​

​

Accrued compensation includes amounts for executive bonuses, payroll and vacation and holiday pay. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in the provision are recorded in cost of revenue. Accrued project costs are estimates for certain project expenses during the reporting period.

Due to a change in certain conditions and events, it became probable that on March 31, 2024, the Company would not be able to close on the acquisition of Votaw Precision Technologies, Inc. and accrued a breakup fee of $1.1 million. On April 29, 2024, we issued 320,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1.5 million for the breakup fee payment as set forth under the terms and conditions of the agreement. The additional $0.4 million based on the change in fair value of shares at the time of issuance was recorded in April 2024.

​

NOTE 11 – DEBT

​

​

Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with Berkshire Bank, or the “Loan Agreement”. Under the Loan Agreement, Berkshire Bank will continue to provide the Ranor Term Loan (as defined below) and the revolving line of credit, or the “Revolver Loan”. In addition, Berkshire Bank provided the Stadco Term Loan (as defined below) in the original amount of $4.0 million. The proceeds of the original Ranor Term Loan of $2.85 million were previously used to refinance existing mortgage debt of Ranor. The proceeds of the Revolver Loan are used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company. The proceeds of the Stadco Term Loan were used to support the acquisition of Stadco and refinance existing indebtedness of Stadco.

Stadco Term Loan

On August 25, 2021, Stadco borrowed $4.0 million from Berkshire Bank, or the “Stadco Term Loan”, under the Loan Agreement. Interest on the Stadco Term Loan is due on unpaid balances beginning on August 25, 2021 at a fixed rate per annum equal to the 7 year Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance Rate plus 2.25%. Since September 25, 2021 and on the 25th day of each month thereafter, Stadco has made and will continue to make monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $54,390, with all remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable on August 25, 2028. Interest shall be calculated based on actual days elapsed and a 360-day year.

Unamortized debt issue costs on June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024 were $26,837 and $30,007, respectively.

Ranor Term Loan and Revolver Loan

A term loan was made to Ranor by Berkshire Bank in 2016 in the amount of $2.85 million, or the “Ranor Term Loan”. Payments began on January 20, 2017, and were made in monthly installments of $19,260, inclusive of interest at a fixed rate of 5.21% per annum, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable on the original maturity date, December 20, 2021.

Since December 20, 2021, Ranor and certain affiliates of the Company entered into five separate amendments to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and First Amendment to Promissory Note to extend the maturity date of the Ranor Term Loan and Revolver Loan to December 15, 2027 and January 15, 2025, respectively.

On December 23, 2022, Ranor and certain affiliates of the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Fifth Amendment to Promissory Note and First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Amendment”. Effective as of December 20, 2022, the Amendment, among other things (i) extended the maturity date of the Ranor Term Loan to December 15, 2027, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from December 20, 2022 to December 20, 2023, (iii) increases the interest rate on the Ranor Term Loan from 5.21% to 6.05% per annum, (iv) decreases the monthly payment on the Ranor Term Loan from $19,260 to $16,601, (v) replaces LIBOR as an option for the benchmark interest rate for the Revolver Loan with SOFR, (vi) replaces LIBOR-based interest pricing conventions with SOFR-based pricing conventions, including benchmark replacement provisions, and (vii) solely with respect to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, lowers the debt service coverage ratio from at least 1.2 to 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.0.

On December 20, 2023, Ranor and certain affiliates of the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Sixth Amendment”. Effective December 20, 2023, the Sixth Amendment, among other things (i) extended the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from December 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024; (ii) limited the use of proceeds from the Revolver Loan by the Company or its affiliates to $1,000,000 in the aggregate for due diligence and related professional costs incurred on or prior to March 20, 2024 in connection with any acquisitions; and (iii) makes certain changes to the amount and methods of valuation of equipment securing repayment of the borrowed funds.

On March 20, 2024, Ranor and certain affiliates of the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Seventh Amendment”. Effective March 20, 2024, the Seventh Amendment, among other things (i) extended the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from March 20, 2024 to May 20, 2024; (ii) limited the use of proceeds from the Revolver Loan by the Company or its affiliates to $2,000,000 in the aggregate for due diligence and related professional costs incurred on or prior to May 10, 2024 in connection with any acquisitions; and (iii) makes certain changes to the amount and methods of valuation of equipment securing repayment of the borrowed funds. Through May 20, 2024, Ranor utilized a revolving line of credit with, following certain modifications, a maximum principal amount available of $5.0 million. Advances under the Revolver Loan are subject to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (a) $5.0 million or (b) the sum of (i) 80% of the net outstanding amount of Base Accounts, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) 25% of Eligible Raw Material Inventory, and (y) $250,000, plus (iii) 80% of the Appraised Value of the Eligible Equipment, as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement.

The Company agrees to pay to Berkshire Bank, as consideration for Berkshire Bank’s agreement to make the Revolver Loan available, a nonrefundable Revolver Loan fee equal to 0.25% per annum (computed based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the difference between the amount of: (a) $5.0 million, and (b) the average daily outstanding balance of the Revolver Loan during the quarterly period then ended. All Revolver Loan fees are payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on the Revolver Maturity Date, or upon acceleration of the Revolver Loan, if earlier. Interest-only payments on advances made under the Revolver Loan will continue to be payable monthly in arrears. Under the amended promissory note for the Revolver Loan, the Company pays interest at the Term SOFR-based rate.

On May 28, 2024, Ranor and the other Borrowers entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note with Berkshire Bank.

The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was 7.71% and 7.60%, respectively. The weighted average amount outstanding during the period ending June 30, 2024 was $2.9 million. There was $2.8 million outstanding under the Revolver Loan at June 30, 2024. Unused borrowing capacity at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was approximately $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Unamortized debt issue costs at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 were $56,423 and $59,228, respectively.

Berkshire Loan Covenants

For purposes of this discussion, Ranor and Stadco are referred to together as the “Borrowers”. The Ranor Term Loan, the Stadco Term Loan and the Revolver Loan, or together, the “Berkshire Loans”, may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of certain default events, at the option of Berkshire Bank, or automatically without notice or any other action upon the occurrence of certain other events specified in the Loan Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of the Berkshire Loans together with accrued interest and all other obligations owing by the Borrowers to Berkshire Bank would become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind.

The Company agreed to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants under the Loan Agreement. Namely, the Borrowers agree to maintain the ratio of the Cash Flow of TechPrecision-to-the Total Debt Service of TechPrecision of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, measured quarterly on the last day of each fiscal quarter, or annual period of TechPrecision on a trailing 12-month basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending as of September 30, 2021. Calculations will be based on the audited (year-end) and unaudited (quarterly) consolidated financial statements of TechPrecision. Quarterly tests will be measured based on the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q within 60 days of the end of each quarter, and annual tests will be measured based on the financial statements included in the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K within 120 days after the end of each fiscal annual period. Cash Flow means an amount, without duplication, equal to the sum of net income of TechPrecision plus (i) interest expense, plus (ii) taxes, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization, plus (iv) stock based compensation expense taken by TechPrecision, plus (v) non-cash losses and charges and one time or non-recurring expenses at Berkshire Bank’s discretion, less (vi) the amount of cash distributions, if any, made to stockholders or owners of TechPrecision, less (vii) cash taxes paid by the TechPrecision, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. “Total Debt Service” means an amount, without duplication, equal to the sum of (i) all amounts of cash interest paid on liabilities, obligations, and reserves of TechPrecision paid by TechPrecision, (ii) all amounts paid by TechPrecision in connection with current maturities of long-term debt and preferred dividends, and (iii) all payments on account of capitalized leases, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Borrowers agree to cause their Balance Sheet Leverage to be less than or equal 2.50 to 1.00. For purposes of this covenant, “Balance Sheet Leverage” means, at any date of determination, the ratio of Borrowers’ (a) Total Liabilities, less Subordinated Debt, to (b) Net Worth, plus Subordinated Debt.

The Borrowers agree to maintain a Loan-to-Value Ratio of not greater than 0.75 to 1.00. “Loan-to-Value Ratio” means the ratio of (a) the sum of the outstanding balance of the Ranor Term Loan and the Stadco Term Loan to (b) the fair market value of the property pledged as collateral for the loan, as determined by an appraisal obtained from time to time by Berkshire Bank, but not more frequently than one time during each 365 day period (provided that Berkshire Bank may obtain an appraisal at any time after either the Ranor Term Loan or the Stadco Term Loan has been accelerated), which appraisals shall be at the expense of the Borrowers.

The Borrowers agree that their combined annual capital expenditures shall not exceed $1.5 million, subject to certain agreed-upon exclusions. Compliance is tested annually.

On June 12, 2023, the Company and Berkshire Bank executed a waiver under which Berkshire Bank waived the Company’s noncompliance with the capital expenditure limit on March 31, 2023. The waiver document also contains an agreement by the parties to exclude from the calculation of capital expenditures for purposes of the Loan Agreement during the year ending March 31, 2024, any such expenditures made by the Company to the extent they are made using funds provided by customers of the Company for the purpose of making such capital expenditures.

The Company was not in compliance with the debt service and balance sheet leverage tests at June 30, 2024. It is also probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the same debt covenants at subsequent measurement dates within the next twelve months. As a result of the above, all of our long-term debt has been classified as current in our consolidated balance sheet.

Collateral securing all the above obligations comprises all personal and real property of the Company, including cash, accounts receivable, inventories, equipment, and financial assets. The carrying value of short and long-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The Company’s short-term and long-term debt is all privately held with no public market for this debt and is considered to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.

​

NOTE 12 - OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES

Under an addendum to a contract purchase order, one of our customers agreed to reimburse the Company for the cost of certain new equipment. Payments are received as the Company’s incurs construction costs. All payments were received under this contract during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. In case of a contract breach, at the time of the breach, the customer may claw back the funds based on a prorated ten-year straight-line annual declining balance recovery period. This liability amount is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a noncurrent liability.

In September 2023, we signed an agreement to purchase new equipment for another customer who agreed to reimburse the Company for the cost of the equipment. We received the first payment in fiscal 2024, with additional payments received during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Advance payments from the customer accrue in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a noncurrent liability.

As of June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, a total of $4.3 million and $3.5 million, in the aggregate, was included in other noncurrent liabilities under the programs described above.

In fiscal year 2023, Stadco entered into the Payment Agreement with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, or “LADWP”, to settle previously outstanding amounts for water, water service, electric energy and/or electric service in the aggregate amount of $1.8 million that were delinquent and unpaid. Under the Payment Agreement, Stadco will make monthly installment payments on the unpaid balance beginning on December 15, 2022, in an aggregate amount of $18,439 per month until the earlier of November 15, 2030, or the amount due is paid in full. Late payments under the Payment Agreement accrue a late payment charge equal to an 18% annual rate on the unpaid balance. This liability amount was included in the Company’s balance sheet as a current and noncurrent liability as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 for $0.2 million and $1.2 million, and $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 – LEASES

On August 25, 2021, Stadco became party to an amended building and property operating lease and recorded a right of use asset and liability of $6.6 million. Monthly base rent for the property is $82,998 per month. The term of the lease will expire on June 30, 2030, and the lessee has no right of renewal beyond the expiration date. The lease contains customary default provisions allowing the landlord to terminate the lease if the lessee fails to remedy a breach of its obligations under the lease within the period specified in the lease, or upon certain events of bankruptcy or seizure or attachment of the lessee’s assets or interest in the lease. The lease also contains other customary provisions for real property leases of this type.

The following table lists our right-of-use assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at:

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $8.7 million in purchase obligations outstanding, which primarily consisted of contractual commitments to purchase new materials and supplies.

Retirement Benefits

The Company has a defined contribution and savings plan that covers substantially all employees who have completed 90 days of service. Ranor retains the option to match employee contributions. The Company contributed $20,811 and $21,543 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Legal Proceeding

The estimated amounts of liabilities recorded for pending and threatened litigation are recorded in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with the accounting standard for contingencies, we record a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Generally, the loss is recorded for the amount we expect to resolve the liability. We believe we have recorded adequate provisions for our litigation matters. We review and adjust these provisions quarterly to reflect the effect of negotiations, settlements, rulings, and advice.

On October 30, 2023, a former employee filed suit against Stadco asserting individual wage and hour claims, claims for age and disability discrimination under California law, and a collective action on behalf of all non-exempt Stadco employees pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) [Cal. Lab. Code, ss. 2698, et seq.], to impose civil penalties for certain violations of the California Labor Code. Stadco has retained outside legal counsel to defend this action. The case has been stayed and was resolved in principle at mediation on June 26, 2024. The former employee’s individual claims were also resolved at mediation, and final settlement payment on the individual claims was due and paid in August 2024.

On October 8, 2024, the Los Angeles County (CA) Superior Court approved the settlement of the Plaintiff’s claim for imposition of civil penalties pursuant to the PAGA. Accordingly, under the terms of the PAGA Settlement Agreement, Stadco must pay the sum of $205,000 no later than November 7, 2024., which has been included in accrued expenses under the provision for claims as of March 31, 2024 (see Note 10 – Accrued Expenses).

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Ranor and Stadco that are reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All of the Company’s operations, assets, and customers are located in the U.S.

Each reportable segment focuses on the manufacture and assembly of specific components, primarily for defense, aerospace and other industrial customers. However, both segments have separate operating, engineering, and sales teams. Our Chief Executive Officer, or “CEO”, is the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or “CODM”, and evaluates the performance of our segments based upon, among other things, segment revenue and operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs. Corporate costs include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, and other corporate and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. The following table provides summarized financial information for our segments:

​

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Promissory Note

On September 4, 2024, Ranor and the other Borrowers entered into a Ninth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Ninth Amendment”, with Berkshire Bank. Effective August 30, 2024, the Ninth Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from August 30, 2024 to January 15, 2025. (see Note 11 - Debt).

Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the “Purchase Agreement”, with certain accredited investors, or the “Purchasers”, pursuant to which the Company sold common stock and warrants in a private placement at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.3 million (see Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies).

Item 2.       Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” may contain predictive or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report, including statements that express our intentions, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions, or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events, or conditions are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections made by management about our business, our industry and other conditions affecting our financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. As discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, certain events and conditions, when examined in the aggregate, indicate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year beyond the date of the financial statements. Factors that could cause such outcomes and results to differ include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties arising from:

Overview

The manufacturing operations of our Ranor subsidiary are situated on approximately 65 acres in North Central Massachusetts. Leveraging our 145,000 square foot facilities, Ranor provides a full range of custom solutions to transform material into precision finished welded components and precision finished machined components up to 100 tons: manufacturing engineering, materials management and traceability, high-precision heavy fabrication (in-house fabrication operations include cutting, press and roll forming, welding, heat treating, assembly, blasting and painting), heavy high-precision machining (in-house machining operations include CNC programming, finishing, and assembly), QC inspection including portable CMM, NonDestructive Testing, and final packaging.

All manufacturing at Ranor is performed in accordance with customer requirements. Ranor is an ISO 9001:2015 certificate holder. Ranor is a US defense-centric company with over 95% of its revenue in the defense sector. Ranor is registered and compliant with ITAR.

The manufacturing operations of our Stadco subsidiary are situated in an industrial self-contained multi-building complex comprised of approximately 183,000 square feet under roof in Los Angeles, California. Stadco manufactures large mission-critical components on several high-profile military aircraft, military helicopter, and military space programs. Stadco has been a critical supplier to a blue-chip customer base that includes some of the largest OEMs and prime contractors in the defense and aerospace industries. Stadco also manufactures tooling, molds, fixtures, jigs and dies used in the production of defense-centric aircraft components.

Our Stadco subsidiary, similar to Ranor, provides a full range of custom solutions: manufacturing engineering, materials management and traceability, high-precision fabrication (in-house fabrication operations include waterjet cutting, press forming, welding, and assembly) and high-precision machining (in-house machining operations include CNC programming, finishing, and assembly), QC inspection including both fixed and portable CMM NonDestructive Testing, and final packaging. In addition, Stadco features a large electron beam welding cell, and two NonDestructive Testing work cells, a unique mission-critical technology set.

All manufacturing at Stadco is performed in accordance with customer requirements. Stadco is an AS 9100 D and ISO 9001:2015 certificate holder and a NADCAP NonDestructive Testing certificate holder. Stadco is a US defense-centric company with over 60% of its revenue in the defense sector. Stadco is registered and compliant with ITAR.

Custom Manufacturing

We manufacture a variety of components in accordance with our internal core competencies and external customer needs and requirements. We also provide manufacturing engineering services to assist customers in optimizing their engineering designs for manufacturability. We do not design the components we manufacture; we custom manufacture according to customer “build-to-print” requirements and specifications. Accordingly, we do not distribute the components that we manufacture on the open market, and we do not market any products. We do not own the intellectual property rights to any proprietary marketed product, and we do not manufacture in anticipation of orders. Our custom manufacturing operations do not commence on any project before we receive and accept a customer’s purchase order. We only accept contracts that cover specific components within the capability of our resources.

We primarily target repeating custom programs with relatively mature and stable designs in order to provide long-term solutions for our customers. The multi-unit work is repeat work or a single product with multiple quantity releases. Secondarily, our activities include a variety of both multi-unit and one-off requirements. The one-off work is typically either a prototype or a unique, one-of-a-kind component.

Changes in regulations and market demand for our manufacturing expertise can be significant and sudden, and require us to adapt to the needs of the customers that we serve Understanding this dynamic, we focus on the defense industry in order to reliably pivot with our defense customers to jointly develop the capability to transform our workforce to manufacture components in accordance with our own and our external customers’ changing requirements.

We primarily serve customers in the defense and aerospace; secondarily in the nuclear, and precision industrial sectors. Within these sectors, we have manufactured custom components for US Navy submarines and aircraft carriers, USMC military helicopters, US defense and civilian aerospace programs, and components for nuclear power plants.

Our contracts are generated both through negotiation with the customer and from bids made pursuant to a request for proposal. Our ability to receive contract awards is dependent upon the contracting party’s perception of such factors as our ability to perform on time, our history of performance, including quality, our financial condition, and our ability to price our services competitively.

All the Company’s operations, assets, and customers are located in the U.S.

Recent Developments

Termination of Votaw Acquisition

On November 22, 2023 we and the Seller, entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, we would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Votaw Precision Technologies, Inc. (“Votaw”) and after giving effect to such purchase, Votaw was to become our wholly owned subsidiary.

Due to a change in certain conditions and events, it became probable that on March 31, 2024, the Company would be unable to close on the acquisition. On April 2, 2024, the Seller delivered to the Company written notice of its election to terminate the Purchase Agreement under Section 7.01(f) effective immediately. Pursuant to Section 7.01(f) of the Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Closing had not occurred by March 31, 2024, either we or the Seller had the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement, subject to the party terminating having complied with the other required closing conditions.

Since the Seller validly terminated the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f), the Company was required to pay to the Seller the Stock Termination Fee. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Stock Termination Fee can increase by 48,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock under certain conditions, including if the Company fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to effect the resale of the shares of common stock composing the Stock Termination Fee to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable. Such registration was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2024, but cannot be declared effective until we have filed all of the required financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.

On April 29, 2024, we issued 320,000 shares of our common stock as the Stock Termination Fee.

Amendments to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note

On May 28, 2024, Ranor and the other Borrowers entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Eighth Amendment”, with Berkshire Bank. Effective May 24, 2024, the Eighth Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from May 24, 2024 to August 30, 2024; (ii) amends the maximum principal amount of the Revolver Loan from $5,000,000 to $4,500,000; and (iii) effective on June 1, 2024, increases the Term SOFR Margin (as defined in the Amendment) used to calculate the interest rate from 2.25% per annum to 2.50% per annum.

On September 4, 2024, Ranor and the other Borrowers entered into a Ninth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the “Ninth Amendment”, with Berkshire Bank. Effective August 30, 2024, the Ninth Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the Revolver Loan from August 30, 2024 to January 15, 2025.

Read about the Berkshire Bank Loans under the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below, for a discussion of the amended debt agreement and its impact on the Company’s liquidity and on-going operations.

July Private Placement

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Agreement”), with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Purchasers”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell in a private placement (the “July Private Placement”) at an aggregate purchase price of $2,298,045, (i) 666,100 shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 666,100 shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”). The combined purchase price for one PIPE Share and one PIPE Warrant was $3.45. The purpose of the July Private Placement was to raise working capital for use by the Company. The closing of the July Private Placement occurred on July 8, 2024 (the “PIPE Closing Date”). Placement agent fees totaled $126,014. Proceeds under the agreement were received after June 30, 2024.  

Pursuant to the PIPE Agreement, we have agreed to have a registration statement registering for resale the PIPE Shares and the shares underlying the PIPE Warrants declared effective with 60 days of the PIPE Closing Date. If such registration statement is not declared effective in a timely manner, we will be subject to liquidated damages as described in the PIPE Agreement.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. Investors should evaluate any statements made by us in light of these important factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Actual results may vary under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the principles and estimates applied for revenue recognition as one of our most critical accounting estimates. Our revenue can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter as we measure revenue recognition over the duration of a project, or at the end of the project. The Company records most of its revenue over-time as it completes performance obligations or at a point-in-time, for example, at the delivery date, when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer. Project volume for revenue recognized at a point-in-time is generally smaller, can fluctuate from period-to-period, and is difficult to forecast.

We measure progress for performance obligations satisfied over time using input methods such as labor hours expended. As a result, we review inputs and outputs and can estimate the remaining amounts of inputs needed to complete the work and therefore report an accurate amount of revenue each reporting period. The amount of revenue period-to-period will fluctuate based on project volume.

Our significant accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under “Item 1. Financial Statements”, for a discussion of recently adopted new accounting guidance.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are affected by a number of external factors including the availability of raw materials, commodity prices (particularly steel), macroeconomic factors, including the availability of capital that may be needed by our customers, and political, regulatory and legal conditions in the United States and in foreign markets. It generally takes approximately twelve months or less to complete our manufacturing projects. However, contracts for larger complex components can take up to thirty-six months in general to complete. Units manufactured under the majority of our customer contracts have historically been delivered on time and with a positive gross margin. Our results of operations are also affected by our success in booking new contracts, the timing of revenue recognition, delays in customer acceptances of our products, delays in deliveries of ordered products and our rate of progress fulfilling obligations under our contracts. Delays in any of these items could have an unfavorable impact on liquidity, cause us to have inventories in excess of our short-term needs, and delay our ability to recognize, or prevent us from recognizing, revenue on contracts in our order backlog.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon, among other things, segment revenue, operating profit, and certain key performance indicators. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, stock-based compensation, certain retirement benefit costs, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments.

Key Performance Indicators

While we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “U.S. GAAP”, we also utilize and present certain financial measures that are not based on or included in U.S. GAAP. We refer to these as non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the section titled “EBITDA Non-GAAP financial measure” below for further discussion of these financial measures, including the reasons why we use such financial measures and reconciliations of such financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Percentages in the following tables and throughout this “Results of Operations” section may reflect rounding adjustments.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

The following table presents revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit, consolidated and by reportable segment:

​

​

Revenue

Consolidated – Revenue was $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, or 8% higher when compared to revenue of $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue increased by $0.6 million at Stadco offset in part by a decrease of $0.1 million at Ranor. As explained below, we realized fewer direct labor hours at both Ranor and Stadco on projects executed during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago. However, the projects executed had overall relatively higher contract values as compared with the same period a year ago. As described in the gross profit and gross margin section, higher relative contracts prices do not necessarily have higher gross profit or gross margin.

Ranor – Revenue was $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million or 3% lower when compared to the same period a year ago. We realized fewer direct labor hours during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago.

The backlog for Ranor remains strong as new orders continue to flow to us from our existing customer base of prime defense contractors. The backlog at Ranor on June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $18.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively.

Stadco - Revenue was $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with revenue of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.6 million, or 21%. We realized fewer direct labor hours during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago. However, the projects executed on during the first quarter had overall relatively higher contract values during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago.

The backlog remains strong as new orders for components related to a variety of programs, including the U.S. Marine Corps heavy lift helicopter programs, continue to flow to us from our existing customer base of prime defense contractors. Stadco’s backlog was $22.4 million and $24.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Consolidated – Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, parts, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $7.7 million, or 16% higher when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily the result of higher production costs and under-absorbed overhead at Stadco. As a result, gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, or 66% when compared to the same period a year ago. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 3.0% compared to 9.4% in the same period a year ago.

Ranor – Gross profit decreased by $45,000, basically flat, when compared to the same period a year ago. Cost of revenue was $72,000 lower, as an increase in material costs was more than offset by higher absorbed overhead added to our work-in-progress when compared with the same period in the prior-year.

Stadco – Gross profit was negative $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as our losses increased when compared to the same period a year ago. Direct labor hours charged to projects were lower compared with the same prior year period a year ago. Therefore, factory overhead was under absorbed, and other production costs, repairs and maintenance and certain project losses increased year-over-year.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

​

​

Consolidated – Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 24%, primarily due to a $0.4 million change in fair value to the accrual for the breakup fee in connection with the terminated Votaw acquisition.

Ranor – SG&A expense decreased by $82,000 for compensation and payroll taxes due to staff reductions.

Stadco – SG&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by approximately $19,000. The SG&A expenses for office costs and outside advisory fees increased by approximately $46,000, offset in part by a decrease in compensation and payroll taxes due to staff reductions.

Corporate and unallocated – SG&A increased by approximately $0.4 million, primarily for a change in fair value to the accrual for the breakup fee in connection with the terminated Votaw acquisition.

Operating (loss) income

​
