CRAWFORD UNITED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2024

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crawford United Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is provided with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regard to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all previously required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 will also be required for interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

* Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company's instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. U.S. GAAP requires that both indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50%) that the intangible asset or the reporting unit is impaired. During interim periods, ASC 350 requires companies to focus on those events and circumstances that affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the asset group or reporting unit to determine whether an interim quantitative impairment test is required. The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets as of the last day of the fourth quarter. The Company first assessed certain qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In 2023, for all reporting units other than CAD Enterprises the qualitative analysis indicated that a quantitative analysis was not necessary. For the identified reporting unit, impairment testing was performed as of December 31, 2023 using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information, and no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired.

There were no impairment indicators identified during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.

Goodwill increased by $1.0 million from $16.5 million at December 31, 2023 to $17.4 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in Goodwill was driven by an addition of $1.0 million in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment related to the acquisition of Heany Industries, LLC ("Heany") and Advanced Industrial Coatings, LLC ("AIC") in the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively. Goodwill increased by $0.2 million from $16.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $16.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in Goodwill was driven by a purchase accounting adjustment to Goodwill, recorded in the second quarter of 2023, for Knitting Machinery Company of America (KMC).

8. BANK DEBT

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement on June 12, 2023. The most significant change in the amended Credit Agreement was the discontinued use of LIBOR as a reference rate, with the adoption of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the primary reference rate. This change was anticipated and aligns with the US Dollar LIBOR panel ceasing on June 30, 2023.

The Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement on November 27, 2023. The Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the underlying credit facility from June 1, 2024 to June 1, 2027, and increases the maximum annual amount that the Company and its subsidiaries may pay in dividends or other restricted payments to $2,000,000 from $1,250,000.

The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement includes a $3 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit thereunder. Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or SOFR (previously LIBOR) plus applicable margins of (i) (0.25%) for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 1.75% for SOFR (previously LIBOR) loans. The Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving facility of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly.

The obligations of the Company and other borrowers under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and applicable reporting requirements and covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio.

On May 16, 2024, North 52nd Properties LLC (the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain real property located in Phoenix, Arizona (the “Real Property”) for $6.9 million (the “Purchase Price”) from Loudermilk, Inc. and its affiliate. The Real Property is utilized by the Company’s subsidiary, CAD, and was previously leased by CAD. The Company exercised its option to purchase the Real Property, which was independently appraised at a value substantially in excess of the Purchase Price. The purchase of the Real Property was financed with a loan of approximately $5.9 million by MidFirst Bank (the “Lender”) to the Purchaser made pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated May 16, 2024 by and between the Purchaser and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The loan is secured by the Real Property and guaranteed by the Company and CAD, accrues interest at an annual rate of 7.14%, and is payable in monthly installments until the May 16, 2034 maturity date. The Loan Agreement provides for customary covenants and events of default, including covenants which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2x and a tangible net worth of not less than $10 million, each as of the end of any fiscal year. If the loan is repaid within the next five years, it may be subject to a prepayment premium as further described in the Loan Agreement. The Company entered into an eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement on May 16, 2024, which adopted amendments necessary to permit the purchase of the Real Property and the financing of the purchase pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement at September 30, 2024.

The Company had $24.2 million and $24.9 million available to borrow on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Although borrowings on the revolving credit facility remained relatively consistent during the period ended September 30, 2024, the facility was utilized to finance the acquisitions of Heany for $6.6 million and AIC for $4.3 million, with these increases largely offset by repayments made during the current year to date period.

13. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when the Company's obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain contracts in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment is accounted for over time, as control transfers under these arrangements.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Commercial Air Handling segment’s rights to consideration for progress on performance obligations, measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract, but not contractually billable at the reporting date. The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payment become unconditional. Substantially all contract assets are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months. The Company has no history of material cancellations or write-offs involving its contract assets.

Unearned revenue represents amounts collected from, or invoiced to, a customer in advance of revenue recognition. The liability for unearned revenue is reversed when the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which are typically satisfied within twelve months, but could span up to twenty-four months. All unearned revenue is recorded as a current liability, as performance periods beyond one year are usually due to unexpected circumstances outside of the Company’s control such as construction delays.

At December 31, 2023, the unearned revenue balance was $5.6 million, substantially all of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

14. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

Intangible assets are allocated to each segment and the related amortization of these assets are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment engage in business activities from which they recognize revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company, which are eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment are reviewed regularly by our chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, and is considered in making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment in assessing its performance. Financial information for both segments is available in internal financial statements that are prepared on a monthly basis.

The factors used to determine the Company’s reportable segments follow the guidance of ASC 280-10-50-21 and 50-10-22 and include consideration of the type of products or services delivered, the customers and end markets served, the appliable revenue recognition methodology and the length of time it takes to deliver products or services to customers. The Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment was identified as a reportable segment consisting of Air Enterprises, because Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different from our other companies in several ways. First, Air Enterprises sells equipment to end customers and our other businesses that fall into the Industrial and Transportation Products segment sell products, components and coatings to end customers, not equipment. Second, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment delivers custom air handling solutions to customers which is different than the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which delivers manufactured metal, silicone, hydraulic and marine hoses, complex engineered components and coatings, highly engineered forgings, highly engineered and machined parts and data analytic technology applications. Third, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment serves customers primarily in the health care and education end markets while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment delivers products to customers in the heavy-duty truck manufacturing, agricultural, industrial, petrochemical, aerospace, defense, industrial gas turbine, medical prosthetics, alternative energy and emergency vehicle end markets. Fourth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment recognizes revenue primarily over time while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue primarily at a point in time. Fifth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment manufactures custom air handling solutions for customers over a period of three to twenty-four months from the time the order is received to the time the air handling solution is delivered to the end customer as compared to the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which sells and delivers products to customers much more quickly, often within 30 days or less. For the reasons previously mentioned, Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different than the other businesses owned by the Company and management finds it useful to include this business in the Commercial Air Handling Segment which is separate and distinct from all of our other businesses that reside in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Items Affecting the Comparability of our Financial Results

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Heany Industries, Inc. ("Heany") located in Scottsville, New York on January 2, 2024.

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc. ("AIC") located in Stockton, California on August 30, 2024.

Accordingly, in light of the timing of these transactions, the Company’s results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 include the results of Heany and AIC in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment. Conversely, our results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 do not include Heany and AIC.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (“current quarter”) increased to $36.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 9.2% from sales of $33.6 million during the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in volume in the Company's Commercial Air Handling Segment offset by a small decrease in volume in the Company's Industrial and Transportation Product Segment. The overall increase in volume can be attributed to the increased demand for air handling units. Further insights into the performance of each segment are provided in the detailed discussions that follow.

Cost of sales for the current quarter was $26.0 million compared to $24.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year, a slight increase of $1.3 million, or 5.3%, which is attributable to the increase in sales. Gross margin of 29.1% in the current quarter increased from 26.5% in the same quarter of the prior year. The margin improvement is due to a greater proportion of sales coming from our growing Commercial Air Handling segment which operates at higher margins, coupled with manufacturing efficiencies in that segment, which allowed for improved absorption of fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the current quarter were $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million, in the same quarter of the prior year. This marginal increase in SG&A expenses, which remained stable as a percentage of our total sales, is primarily due to the acquisition of Heany and AIC during the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively, as well as other strategic investments in talent aimed at managing and supporting the Company's growth.

Interest charges in the current quarter were $0.3 million compared to $0.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Average total debt outstanding has decreased, but interest rates have increased slightly leading to interest expense remaining flat. Average total debt (including notes) and average interest rates for the current quarter were $13.6 million and 7.1%, respectively, compared to $15.4 million and 7.0%, respectively, in the same period of last year.

The gain on investment in the current quarter was immaterial. Additionally, during the current quarter the Company sold its remaining stock investment in another public company for proceeds of $0.1 million. The loss on investment in the prior year quarter of $0.1 million is attributed to market price change impacting the Company's stock investment.

The Company had other expense of $0.3 million in the current quarter, primarily resulting from fees related to the acquisition of AIC. The Company had an immaterial amount of other expense for the same quarter of the prior year.

Income tax expense in the current quarter was $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Income tax expense is higher compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily because of higher pre-tax income.

Net income in the current quarter was $3.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior year because of the factors noted above.

Commercial Air Handling Segment

Sales in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased to $15.9 million, an increase of approximately $3.2 million, or 25.2%, from sales of $12.7 million during the same period of the prior year. The consistent growth in reported sales in this segment highlights our sustained momentum in meeting the rising demand for clean air solutions.

Segment operating profit in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the current quarter was $4.9 million, or 31.0%, compared to $3.3 million, or 26.2% in the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of $1.6 million or 480 basis points. This enhancement in segment operating profit and margin can be attributed to the expanded revenue base, which facilitates more efficient absorption of fixed costs. Another supporting factor of the improved margins has been the continued implementation of various efficiency and continuous improvement initiatives within our manufacturing processes. These strategic measures have further optimized operations and bolstered profitability. The segment's SG&A costs remained materially consistent compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Industrial and Transportation Products Segment

Sales in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $20.8 million, a slight decrease of approximately $0.1 million, or 0.5%, from sales of $20.9 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the current quarter was primarily the result of decreased demand for marine products, which was mostly offset by sales from our acquisitions of Heany and AIC of approximately $1.9 million. The decrease in marine products sales volume can be attributed to the cyclical nature of recreational boating demand whereby there was a pandemic-driven surge in demand lasting through the third quarter of 2023. By design, this segment is diversified and operates across several industries.

Segment operating profit in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the current quarter was $1.5 million, or 7.2%, compared to $1.9 million, or 9.3%, in the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of $0.5 million or 220 basis points. As sales have remained flat despite the two acquisitions completed in 2024, the decrease in operating profit margin can mainly be attributed to the operating costs of the two new entities, Heany and AIC. Many of the underlying expenses within this segment are fixed in the short-term and our ability to absorb fixed cost has been negatively impacted. In response, we have implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects on our margin and cash flows. These include optimizing our production processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, renegotiating supplier contracts to secure more favorable terms, and intensifying our focus on inventory management to minimize excess inventory.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (“current year-to-date period”) increased to $112.8 million, a modest increase of $2.8 million or 2.5% from sales of $110.1 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in volume in the Company's Commercial Air Handling Segment partially offset by a decrease in volume in the Company's Industrial and Transportation Product Segment. The overall increase in volume can largely be attributed to the macroeconomic trend of increased demand for air handling units being partially offset by decreased demand within the boating market. Further insights into the performance of each segment are provided in the detailed discussions that follow.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 remained flat at $81.5 million compared to $80.2 million for the same period of the prior year. Gross margin of 27.8% in the current year-to-date period exceeds 27.2% in the same period of the prior year. The gross margin improvement is largely due to a greater proportion of sales coming from the Commercial Air Handling segment which operates at higher margins.

SG&A expenses in the current year-to-date period were $16.4 million, compared to $15.3 million, in the same period of last year. SG&A costs have risen compared to the prior year period as we have strategically increased our investment in talent to support growth.

Interest charges in the current year-to-date period were $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million in the same period of the prior year. Average total debt outstanding has decreased, which has been partially offset by rising interest rates. Average total debt (including notes) and average interest rates for the current year-to-date period were $13.9 million and 7.1%, respectively, compared to $19.3 million and 6.7%, respectively, in the same period of last year.

The loss on investment in the current year-to-date period was $0.4 million due to changes in the market value of the Company's stock investment in another public company. Additionally, during the current year-to-date period the Company sold its remaining stock investment for proceeds of $0.3 million. The loss on investment in the same period of the prior year was immaterial.

The Company recognized other expense of $0.4 million in the current year-to-date period, resulting from fees related to the purchases of Heany Industries, Inc and Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc. The Company had other income of $0.3 million for the same period of the prior year, resulting from incentives that Global-Tek received from the government of Puerto Rico that did not recur in the current year-to-date period.

Income tax expense in the current year-to-date period was $3.8 million compared to $3.8 million in the same year-to-date period of the prior year. Despite the $0.5 million decrease in pre-tax net income, income tax expense remained flat compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of a smaller proportion of pre-tax net income being generated in Puerto Rico, which has a lower tax rate.

Net income in the current year-to-date period was $9.6 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year because of the factors noted above.

Commercial Air Handling Segment

Sales in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased to $49.3 million, an increase of approximately $5.7 million, or 13.1%, from sales of $43.6 million during the same period of the prior year. The consistent growth in reported sales in this segment highlights our sustained momentum in meeting the rising demand for clean air solutions.

Segment operating profit in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the current year-to-date period was $14.2 million, or 28.7% compared to $10.7 million, or 24.6% in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $3.4 million or 410 basis points. This enhancement in segment operating profit and margin can be attributed to the expanded revenue base, which facilitates more efficient absorption of fixed costs. Another supporting factor of the improved margins has been the continued implementation of various efficiency and continuous improvement initiatives within our manufacturing processes. These strategic measures have further optimized operations and bolstered profitability. The segment's SG&A costs have remained materially consistent compared to the first nine months of the prior year.

Industrial and Transportation Products Segment

Sales in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to $63.5 million, a decrease of approximately $3.0 million, or 4.4%, from sales of $66.4 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the current year-to-date period was primarily the result of decreased demand in the marine products, machined defense parts, and forged aerospace products businesses of approximately $9.2 million, being partially offset by sales from our acquisitions of Heany and AIC of approximately $4.8 million and increased sales in our machined aerospace parts business of $1.4 million. By design, this segment is diversified and operates across several industries. The decrease in marine sales volume can be attributed to the cyclical nature of recreational boating demand whereby there was a pandemic-driven surge in demand lasting through the third quarter of 2023. The other declines in machine defense parts and forgings are a result of two specific customers placing a pause on orders that we expect will be temporary and eventually return back to previous levels.

Segment operating profit in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the current year-to-date period was $4.7 million, or 7.3%, compared to $7.7 million, or 11.7%, in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $3.1 million or 430 basis points. As sales have decreased and many of the underlying expenses are fixed in the short-term, our ability to absorb fixed cost has been negatively impacted. In response, we have implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects on our gross margin. These include optimizing our production processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs and renegotiating supplier contracts to secure more favorable terms. The segment's SG&A costs have risen compared to the prior year period as we have strategically increased our investment in talent to support growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s credit agreement, by and among the Company, its subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $30.0 million. At September 30, 2024, there was approximately $24.2 million of borrowing availability, which has decreased in the current year-to-date period as the Company borrowed cash to fund the acquisitions of Heany Industries, Inc and Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc.

Operating Activities. The dynamics of cash flows from operating activities are subject to variability, influenced by the oscillating demands of working capital and the scheduling of payment cycles. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.0 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of the prior year. While billing timing results in largely offsetting fluctuations in several items in the statement of cash flows, the improvement in cash flow from operations can be attributed to partnering with our vendors to better align our payment terms with that of our customers.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $12.6 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Cash used in investing activities for the period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily for the acquisitions of Heany and AIC, the purchase of the property in Phoenix in which CAD operates, and routine capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was for capital expenditures in the normal course of business.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash used in financing activities of $9.3 million in the same period last year. During the current year-to-date period the Company borrowed on its revolving credit facility to fund the acquisitions noted above. In the first nine months of the prior year the Company utilized cash flow from operations to pay down debt.

The Company is actively managing its business to generate cash flow. We believe that cash and availability on our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to fund working capital needs and service principal and interest payments due related to the bank debt and notes payable for at least the next 12 months. Based on a combination of sustained profitability and significant borrowing capacity, the Company believes it is well positioned to support ongoing operations as well as growth initiatives. Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if the Company's operating results decrease as the result of pressures on the business due to, for example, supply chain interruptions or delays, increases in material, freight or labor costs, inflationary pressures, currency or interest rate fluctuations, lost customers, regulatory issues, a downturn in general economic conditions, or the Company's failure to execute its business plans, the Company may require additional financing, or may be unable to comply with its obligations under the credit facility, and its lenders could demand repayment of any amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. See Notes 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company's total debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, the Company enters into performance and payment bonds in the ordinary course of business. These bonds are secured by certain assets of the Company until the Company’s completion of certain contractual requirements. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no secured performance and payment bonds as surety on completion of the requirements of certain commercial air handling contracts. The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303 paragraph (a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources.)

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions which affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that are used to prepare financial statements. Management has made their best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe that there is great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed below. On a regular basis, critical accounting policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue with respect to customer orders when our obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain contracts in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment is accounted for over time, when products are manufactured or services are performed, as control transfers under these arrangements. We follow a cost-based input method, since there is no objective output measure that would fairly depict the transfer of control over the life of the performance obligation. Progress on the performance obligation is measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract. Costs included in the measure of progress include direct labor and third-party. This cost-based method of revenue recognition requires the Company to make estimates of costs to complete its projects on an ongoing basis. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to these estimates. The effect of revisions to estimates related to the transaction price or costs to complete a project are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis. Certain contracts may be terminated by the customer; however, in the event of termination, most contracts require payment for services rendered through the date of termination.

Allowance for Obsolete and Slow-Moving Inventory: Inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method; stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value; and are reduced by an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. The allowance is estimated based on management’s review of inventories on hand with minimal sales activity, which is compared to estimated future usage and sales. Inventories identified by management as slow-moving or obsolete are reserved for based on estimated selling prices less disposal costs. Though we consider these allowances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which we operate could have a material effect on allowances required.

Business Combinations: Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” This method requires the Company to record assets and liabilities of the businesses acquired at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value requires management to make estimates and assumptions including discount rates, rates of return on assets, and long-term sales growth rates.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets: As referenced by ASC 350 “Intangibles- Goodwill and other” (“ASC 350”), management performs its impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets at least annually or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units have been identified at the individual company component level, with each individual subsidiary operating company constituting its own reporting unit. For 2023, management performed a qualitative assessment over all reporting units other than CAD, which indicated there were no indicators of impairment. A quantitative impairment analysis was done for CAD which concluded that goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

Our goodwill impairment analysis utilizes a qualitative approach that compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the qualitative approach indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount is less than the reporting unit's fair value, we apply a quantitative approach as a secondary step. In applying the quantitative approach, we use an income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach uses a number of factors, including future business plans and actual and forecasted operating results. The significant assumptions employed under this method include discount rates; revenue growth rates, including assumed terminal growth rates; and operating margins used to project future cash flows for the operating company. The discount rates utilized reflect market-based estimates of capital costs and discount rates adjusted for management’s assessment of a market participant’s view with respect to other risks associated with the projected cash flows of the individual company. Our estimates are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which by nature are uncertain and unpredictable. We believe we incorporate reasonable assumptions into our analysis of goodwill impairment testing for a reporting unit, such that actual experience would need to be materially out of the range of expected assumptions in order for an impairment to remain undetected.

During 2023, revenue at CAD increased from $15.5 million in 2022 to $20.9 million. The revenue growth was 35% and was consistent with the quantitative modeling done in 2022. However despite the strong revenue growth, CAD did not meet the profitability projections used in the prior year's quantitative goodwill analysis. Accordingly, we noted a triggering event and completed a Step 1 quantitative analysis as of December 31, 2023. The quantitative assessment of CAD Enterprises confirmed that the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value by 35%, and thus no impairment existed at December 31, 2023. The key assumptions used to estimate fair value included discount rates; revenue growth rates, including assumed terminal growth rates; and after-tax income margins used to project future cash flows for CAD Enterprises. The discount rate used to estimate fair value was 15% and was based on estimates of capital costs and management’s assessment of a market participant’s view with respect to other risks associated with the projected cash flows for CAD Enterprises. The increase from the prior year reflects the incremental company specific risks related to the missed profitability projections in 2023. Our revenue growth rate for the 7-year period in the discounted cash flow model was 7.7% per year, which reflects management’s assessment of estimated future orders for CAD Enterprises based in part on a Long-Term-Agreement (“LTA”) with the company’s largest customer, inclusive of an expected increase in volume, our previous revenue history including actual revenues exceeding $30 million prior to the recent inflationary environment, and growth in the aerospace industry stemming from post-pandemic travel rebound, geopolitical conflicts and private space exploration. The assumed terminal growth rate for CAD Enterprises was 3% based on management’s assessment of long-term growth rates for the Aerospace industry. The after-tax income margins used to project future margins for the company reflect that most of CAD's non-material costs are fixed, and as revenue grows, much of the growth will fall-through to the bottom line.

Our estimates are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which by nature are uncertain and unpredictable. Potential events and circumstances including global conflicts, materials shortages, inability to increase prices to keep pace with expenses, onset of a global pandemic, departure of key employees and loss of a key customer could negatively affect the key assumptions used for the recent fair value test and are similar to the risk factors noted in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes: In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), we account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. Specifically, we measure gross deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and carryforwards, such as operating losses and tax credits, using the applicable enacted tax rates and apply the more likely than not measurement criterion. Further, at each interim reporting period, we estimate an effective income tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full year. Significant judgment is involved regarding the application of income tax laws and regulations and when projecting the jurisdictional mix of income. Additionally, interpretation of tax laws, court decisions or other guidance provided by taxing authorities influences our estimate of the effective income tax rates. As a result, our actual annual effective income tax rates and related income tax liabilities may differ materially from our interim estimated effective tax rates and related income tax liabilities. Any resulting differences are recorded in the period they become known.

Impact of Inflation

Inflationary economic conditions during the past few years have increased the Company’s costs (including labor) of producing its products. While many of the inflationary conditions have stabilized, inflationary economic conditions persist or worsen and may be impactful going forward. The Company’s products are manufactured using various metals and other commodity-based materials including steel, aluminum, rubber and silicone. Freight and labor costs also are significant elements of the Company’s production costs. Inflationary economic conditions have elevated these and personnel costs. If the Company is unable to continue mitigating cost increases through customer pricing actions, alternative supply arrangements or other cost reduction initiatives, the Company's profitability may be adversely affected.

Forward-Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements made regarding the Company’s future results. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as “guidance,” “outlook,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

* Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

* Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources and is considered a level 1 investment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Recent Accounting Pronouncements* In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regard to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all previously required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 will also be required for interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Fair Value of Financial Instruments* Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Fair Value Measurements* As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: * Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. * Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include: * Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; * Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; * Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; * Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. * Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company's instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. * Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources and is considered a level 1 investment.
