REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

 

To the Board of Directors of

Applied Avionics, Inc.

 

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Applied Avionics, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 27, 2023, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control– related matters that we identified during the audit.

---

Supplemental Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The schedule of the accumulated adjustments account and retained earnings is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Applied Avionics, Inc. (the “Company”) is an S Corporation and manufactures MIL-Spec illuminated electro-mechanical pushbutton switches and other avionic electrical components. These products are used in aircraft, ground systems, and on shipboard. The Company researches, designs, and manufactures products to meet the human-machine and system-system interface requirements of commercial and military organizations worldwide. The Company is located in Fort Worth, Texas.

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Basis of Accounting

The accounts are maintained and the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 52/53-week year, which ends on the last Wednesday of the calendar year. The accompanying financial statements reflect operations and cash flows from December 29, 2022 through December 27, 2023 (52 weeks).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased or a money market fund to be cash equivalents. The Company held $6,255,000 in short-term investments at December 27, 2023. Other cash balances were $472,570 at December 27, 2023. The Company maintains deposits primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers. The Company operates primarily in the commercial aircraft and aerospace and defense industry and its accounts receivable are primarily derived from customers servicing that industry. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses if determined necessary. In addition, at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. If applicable, accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible.

The allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s portfolio segment has remained constant since the Company’s inception.

Credit is extended to the Company’s customers based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and other relevant risk factors. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 27, 2023, was approximately $17,000. The opening balance of accounts receivable as of December 29, 2022, was approximately $2,694,000, net of an allowance for credit losses of approximately $16,000.

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized and offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates a first- in, first-out method. Inventories include factory overhead that is applied on the basis of labor costs and manufacturing expenses incurred. Fixed costs related to excess manufacturing capacity, freight, handling costs, scrap, and spoilage are expensed when incurred. A valuation allowance is established and adjusted periodically to provide for estimated excess and obsolescence based upon the aging of inventory and market trends. As of December 27, 2023, the Company had recorded a reserve of approximately $225,000.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated service lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred, and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or abandoned, and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statement of income. Property and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings and improvements	15-39 years
Machinery and equipment	3-7 years
Office equipment	3-7 years
Automobiles	3-7 years
Furniture and fixtures	3-7 years

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value and is recorded in the period the determination was made. Based upon management’s assessment, there was no impairment of long-lived assets at December 27, 2023.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease liabilities (“lease liabilities”) represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ROU assets and lease liabilities and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has leases for certain office equipment. The operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Leases - continued

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company has elected to utilize the applicable risk-free rate in effect at the time of the lease inception. ROU assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants.

Customer Advance Payment Deposits

The Company requires advance payments on sales orders from certain customers, and the advance payments are held as customer deposits until shipment has occurred. The opening balance of customer advance payment deposits was approximately $594,000 at December 29, 2022.

Distributions

The Company’s distribution policy is that pro-rata distributions are to be declared and paid to each stockholder in an aggregate amount equal to a percentage of the Company’s net income that is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on an annual basis. At December 27, 2023, there was approximately $64,000 of distributions declared and payable in the accompanying balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from the manufacturing and distribution of its MIL-Spec illuminated electro-mechanical pushbutton switches and other avionic electrical components. The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers through the following steps:

 

 

 

---

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Revenue - continued

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product or service to its customer. The Company’s contracts generally do not include any significant financing components.

Performance Obligations

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product or service to its customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation within the contract. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation. The nature of the Company’s business occasionally gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognition will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based on historical experience and known trends.

All of the Company’s revenue is from products transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon shipment.

Income Taxes

The stockholders of the Company have elected for the Company to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter “S” of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under these provisions, the Company does not pay corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for the individual income taxes on their respective share of the Company’s taxable income or benefit on their respective share of the Company’s taxable loss.

GAAP prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Management must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, and management’s opinion is that there are no such uncertain positions at December 27, 2023.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Income Taxes - continued

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and certain states. At December 27, 2023, the Company’s prior year tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 25, 2019 through December 28, 2022, remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. As of December 27, 2023, the Company has not incurred any penalties or interest related to these returns.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to the research, design, and development of products are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. For the year ended December 27, 2023, research and development costs totaled approximately $2,969,000 and are included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of income.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the year ended December 27, 2023, advertising costs approximated $189,000 and are included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of income.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “standard”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Subsequently, the FASB issued several clarifying standard updates to clarify and improve the ASU. These ASUs significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model that will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”). Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable. The Company adopted the standard effective December 29, 2022. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in new and enhanced disclosures only.

J. Risks and Uncertainties

Risk Concentrations

The Company’s sales are primarily to customers in the commercial aircraft and aerospace and defense industries, the most significant of which is the U.S. government, sold either directly to the

U.S. government or to government defense contractors. Sales to the U.S. government or government defense contractors amounted to approximately 39% of sales in 2023. At December 27, 2023, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of trade accounts receivable. The loss of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

K. Subsequent Events

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through September 10, 2024, the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

On July 18, 2024, Loar Group, Inc. entered into a purchase agreement with the Company to purchase all the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company in exchange for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $385 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The acquisition was completed on August 26, 2024.

Applied Avionics, Inc. (the “Company”) is an S Corporation and manufactures MIL-Spec illuminated electro-mechanical pushbutton switches and other avionic electrical components. These products are used in aircraft, ground systems, and on shipboard. The Company researches, designs, and manufactures products to meet the human-machine and system-system interface requirements of commercial and military organizations worldwide. The Company is located in Fort Worth, Texas.

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Basis of Accounting

The accounts are maintained and the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 52/53-week year, which ends on the last Wednesday of the calendar year. The accompanying financial statements reflect operations and cash flows from December 28, 2023 through June 26, 2024 (26 weeks).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased or a money market fund to be cash equivalents. The Company held $15,170,000 in short-term investments at June 26, 2024. Other cash balances were $111,817 at June 26, 2024. The Company maintains deposits primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

---

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers. The Company operates primarily in the commercial aircraft and aerospace and defense industry and its accounts receivable are primarily derived from customers servicing that industry. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses if determined necessary. In addition, at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. If applicable, accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible.

The allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s portfolio segment has remained constant since the Company’s inception.

Credit is extended to the Company’s customers based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and other relevant risk factors. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses for the period ended June 26, 2024, was approximately $51,000. The opening balance of accounts receivable as of December 28, 2023, was approximately $3,070,000, net of an allowance for credit losses of approximately $17,000.

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized and offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates a first- in, first-out method. Inventories include factory overhead that is applied on the basis of labor costs and manufacturing expenses incurred. Fixed costs related to excess manufacturing capacity, freight, handling costs, scrap, and spoilage are expensed when incurred. A valuation allowance is established and adjusted periodically to provide for estimated excess and obsolescence based upon the aging of inventory and market trends. As of June 26, 2024, the Company had recorded a reserve of approximately $282,000.

---

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated service lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred, and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or abandoned, and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statement of income. Property and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings and improvements		15-39 years
Machinery and equipment		3-7 years
Office equipment		3-7 years
Automobiles		3-7 years
Furniture and fixtures		3-7 years

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value and is recorded in the period the determination was made. Based upon management’s assessment, there was no impairment of long-lived assets at June 26, 2024.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease liabilities (“lease liabilities”) represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ROU assets and lease liabilities and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has leases for certain office equipment. The operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions.

 

---

Leases – continued

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company has elected to utilize the applicable risk-free rate in effect at the time of the lease inception. ROU assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For these leases, there may be variability in future lease payments as the amount of non-lease component is typically revised from one period to the next. These variable lease payments, which are primarily comprised of common area maintenance, utilities, taxes, and other related fees that are passed on from the lessor in proportion to the leased space, are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.

Customer Advance Payment Deposits

The Company requires advance payments on sales orders from certain customers, and the advance payments are held as customer deposits until shipment has occurred. The opening balance of customer advance payment deposits was approximately $1,494,000 at December 28, 2023.

Distributions

The Company’s distribution policy is that pro-rata distributions are to be declared and paid to each stockholder in an aggregate amount equal to a percentage of the Company’s net income that is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on an annual basis. At June 26, 2024, there was approximately $5,945,000 of distributions declared and payable in the accompanying financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from the manufacturing and distribution of its MIL-Spec illuminated electro-mechanical pushbutton switches and other avionic electrical components. The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers through the following steps:

---

Revenue Recognition – continued

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product or service to its customer. The Company’s contracts generally do not include any significant financing components.

Performance Obligations

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product or service to its customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation within the contract. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation. The nature of the Company’s business occasionally gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognition will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based on historical experience and known trends.

All of the Company’s revenue is from products transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon shipment.

Income Taxes

The stockholders of the Company have elected for the Company to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter “S” of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) . Under these provisions, the Company does not pay corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for the individual income taxes on their respective share of the Company’s taxable income or benefit on their respective share of the Company’s taxable loss.

GAAP prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Management must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, and management’s opinion is that there are no such uncertain positions at June 26, 2024.

 

 

---

Income Taxes - continued

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. At June 26, 2024, the Company’s prior year tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 25, 2019 through December 28, 2022, remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. As of June 26, 2024, the Company has not incurred any penalties or interest related to these returns.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the period ended June 26, 2024, advertising costs approximated $53,000 and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of income.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “standard”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“Topic 326”) : Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Subsequently, the FASB issued several clarifying standard updates to clarify and improve the ASU. These ASUs significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model that will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”). Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable. The Company adopted the standard effective December 29, 2022. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in new and enhanced disclosures only.

 

The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and the related activity are as follows as of

June 26, 2024:

 

Beginning balance		$	16,903
Provision for credit losses			34,156
Write-offs			-

Depreciation expense for the period ended June 26, 2024, was $265,733, and is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

 

Stockholders’ equity includes voting and non-voting shares of common stock. Non-voting shares do not have voting rights; however, they confer all other rights of voting shares, including identical rights to distribution and liquidation proceeds. The number of authorized voting and non-voting shares is 2,800,000 and 200,000, respectively, as of June 26, 2024.

 

The Company sponsors the Applied Avionics, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan covers substantially all employees and provides for the Company to make a discretionary employer match based on employee contributions. In 2024, the annual maximum Company matching contribution is limited to $2,750 per participant. Matching contributions totaled approximately $150,000 through June 26, 2024.

---

The Company provides payment upon retirement to senior management personnel through an executive retirement plan who meet certain requirements prior to retirement. The executive retirement plan is intended to be an unfunded “top-hat plan” maintained for the purpose of providing benefits to a select group of management and certain other employees. The Company accrued approximately $2,017,000 for the executive retirement plan as of June 26, 2024, and has a total liability of approximately $4,555,000 included within the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of the Company and AAI and has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and AAI and have been prepared as if the Acquisition closed on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have also been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the total estimated purchase price, or consideration transferred, is measured at the Acquisition closing date. The assets of AAI have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available.

The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated amounts of identifiable assets of AAI as of the effective date of the Acquisition was allocated to goodwill in accordance with the accounting guidance. The purchase accounting is subject to finalization of the Company’s analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of AAI as of the Acquisition date. Accordingly, the purchase accounting in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is preliminary and will be adjusted upon completion of the final valuation. Such adjustments could be material.

For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company established a framework for measuring fair values. The applicable accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Additionally, under the applicable accounting guidance, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. As a result, the Company may be required to value assets of AAI at fair value measures that do not reflect the Company’s intended use of those assets. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.

For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, we utilized Loar Group's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the last day of its second fiscal quarter, and AAI’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2024, the last day of its second fiscal quarter. Loar Group's second quarterly reporting period of fiscal year 2024 ended on June 30, 2024 and AAI’s second quarterly reporting period ended on June 26, 2024. For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we utilized Loar Group's consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and AAI’s statement of income for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2024. Loar Group’s fiscal year 2023 ended on December 31, 2023 and AAI’s fiscal year 2023 ended on December 27, 2023. For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we utilized Loar Group's consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and AAI’s statement of income for its fiscal year ended December 27, 2023.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are being provided for informational purposes only and do not claim to represent the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations had the Acquisition occurred on that date specified nor do they project the Company’s results of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The actual results reported by the combined company in periods following the Acquisition may differ significantly from these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for a number of reasons. The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not account for the cost of any restructuring activities or synergies resulting from the Acquisition or other costs relating to the integration of the two companies, or other historical acquisitions that were undertaken by the Company.

 

2. Purchase Price

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the preliminary estimated purchase price as follows (in thousands):

Total Purchase price	$	384,511
Less: AAI historical stockholders' equity		(15,555	)
Total purchase price in excess of net book value	$	368,956
Preliminary allocation of excess purchase price over net assets acquired:
Inventories	$	(3,050	)
Property, plant and equipment		3,700
Intangible assets, net		152,100
Goodwill		211,651
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		4,555
Total	$	368,956

 

At this time, the Company has not completed a detailed valuation analysis to determine the fair value of AAI’s assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements is based upon management’s assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable under the circumstances, are subject to changes, which may be material. Upon completion of detailed valuation analyses, there may be additional increases or decreases to the recorded book values of AAI’s assets and liabilities that may give rise to additional depreciation and amortization expense not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Accordingly, once the due diligence has been performed, the final purchase price has been determined and the purchase price allocation has been completed, actual results may differ materially from the information presented herein.

Using the acquisition method of accounting, the Company estimated the fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets. The valuation of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on management’s preliminary estimates, currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. The tangible long‑lived assets were recorded at their estimated fair values, which approximates their carrying value, while the intangible long‑lived assets were valued using a discounted cash flow method. In the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $212.0 million was classified as goodwill. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization after the acquisition was estimated to be $152.0 million.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

							Pro Forma Depreciation Adjustments
	Estimated Useful Life		Estimated Step-up in Fair Value				6 Months Ended June 30, 2024				Year Ended December 31, 2023
Land	n/a		$	2,524			$	-			$	-
Building	25 years			505				10				20
Machinery and equipment	7 years			494				36				71
Furniture and fixtures	3 years			177				30				59
Total			$	3,700			$	75			$	150

 

---

Upon completion of detailed valuation analyses, there may be additional increases or decreases to the recorded book values of AAI’s assets and liabilities that may give rise to additional depreciation and amortization expense not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements. A 10% change in the valuation of long-lived tangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of property, plant and equipment and an increase or decrease in the additional annual depreciation expense due to the step-up in fair value of approximately $7 thousand and $14 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

							Pro Forma Amortization Adjustments
	Estimated Useful Life		Estimated Fair Value				6 Months Ended June 30, 2024				Year Ended December 31, 2023
Customer relationships	16 years		$	112,700			$	3,522			$	7,044
Tradename	15 years			16,200				540				1,080
Technology	15 years			23,200				773				1,546
Total			$	152,100			$	4,835			$	9,670

 

Upon completion of detailed valuation analyses, there may be additional increases or decreases to the recorded book values of AAI’s assets and liabilities that may give rise to additional depreciation and amortization expense not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill, and an increase or decrease in annual amortization expense of approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
