NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nortech Systems Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during each reporting period. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the net realizable value reserves for inventories, accounts receivable allowances, realizability of deferred tax assets and long-lived asset recovery. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued New Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The ASU enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU No. 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated expense information in the notes to the financial statements related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses for each statement of earnings line item that contains those expenses. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively; this ASU allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU No. 2025-05”), which reduces the complexity of applying credit losses to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 (revenue from contracts with customers). ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

Inventories

Inventories are as follows:

September 30, — 2025 2024
Raw materials $ 17,818 $ 21,122
Work in process 1,354 892
Finished goods 1,048 1,070
Reserves ( 1,795 ) ( 1,446 )
Inventories, net $ 18,425 $ 21,638

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Balances as of December 31, 2024 Patents — $ 174
Amortization ( 14 )
Balances as of September 30, 2025 $ 160

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The weighted average remaining amortization period of our intangible assets is 4.3 years. Of the patents value as of September 30, 2025, $ 76 are being amortized and $ 84 are in process and a patent has not yet been issued.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 5 and $ 4 , respectively. Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 14 and $ 84 , respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, estimated future annual amortization expense (except projects in process) related to these assets is as follows:

Year Amount
Remainder of 2025 $ 5
2026 18
2027 18
2028 18
2029 12
Thereafter 5
Total $ 76

Property and Equipment

The sale of the Blue Earth manufacturing facility and related land was completed in the three months ended September 30, 2025, for $ 500 , which approximated book value and therefore, no gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

During the third quarter of 2025, in light of our sustained low stock price, we performed a Step 1 recoverability test in accordance with U.S. GAAP for our long-lived assets. Based on our assessment of undiscounted future cash flows, we concluded that the carrying amounts of our asset group are recoverable, and therefore, no impairment was recognized at this stage. However, as a result of the sale of our Blue Earth facility in July 2025, we are now closer to meeting the criteria for a Step 2 impairment analysis, which involves estimating the fair value of the asset group. If future developments, including changes in market conditions or operational forecasts, result in a decline in fair value below carrying amounts, this may lead to the recognition of an impairment loss in subsequent periods.

NOTE 2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, and contract assets. We maintain our excess cash balances in checking accounts primarily at two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in China. The account in the United States may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s $ 1,271 cash balance as of September 30, 2025, included approximately $ 1,042 and $ 120 that was held at banks located in China and Mexico, respectively. We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and generally do not require collateral on our accounts receivable.

We have certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of net sales, or whose accounts receivable balances or contract asset balances individually represented 10% or more of gross accounts receivable.

Customers who represent 10% or more of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Customer A 32 % 28 % 31 % 26 %
Customer B 11 % N/A 10 % N/A
Total 43 % 28 % 41 % 26 %

Customers who represent 10% or more of accounts receivable and contract assets for the period ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Accounts Receivable
September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Customer A 26 % 23 %
Customer C 10 % 13 %
Total 36 % 36 %
Contract Assets
September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Customer A 33 % 33 %
Customer D 14 % 12 %
Total 47 % 45 %

Export sales from the U.S. represented approximately 2 % of net sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Export sales from the U.S. represented approximately 2 % of net sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

NOTE 3. NET SALES

Revenue Recognition

Revenue under contract manufacturing agreements that was recognized over time, excluding noncash consideration, accounted for 75 % of net sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 72 % and 73 % of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Contract Assets

Contract assets, recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, consist of unbilled amounts related to revenue recognized over time. Significant changes in the contract assets balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2024 $
Increase (decrease) attributed to:
Amounts transferred over time to contract assets 65,784
Allowance for current expected credit losses ( 1 )
Amounts invoiced during the period ( 64,247 )
Balance outstanding as of September 30, 2025 $ 15,328

We expect substantially all the remaining performance obligations for the contract assets recorded as of September 30, 2025 to be transferred to receivables within 90 days, with any remaining amounts to be transferred within 180 days. We bill our customers upon shipment with payment terms of up to 120 days.

NOTE 4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

On February 29, 2024, we entered into a $ 15,000 Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit with Bank of America (the “Revolver”). The Revolver allows for borrowings at a defined base rate, or at the one, three or six month Secured Overnight Finance Rate, also known as “SOFR,” plus a defined margin. If the Company prepays SOFR borrowings before their contractual maturity, the Company has agreed to compensate the bank for lost margin, as defined in the Revolver agreement. The Company is required to quarterly pay a 20-basis point fee on the unused portion of the Revolver.

The Revolver requires the Company to maintain no more than 2.5 times leverage ratio and at least a 1.25 times minimum fixed charges coverage ratio, both of which are defined in the Revolver agreement. These ratios are calculated based on trailing twelve-month results. There are no subjective acceleration clauses under the Revolver that would accelerate the maturity of outstanding borrowings. The Revolver contains certain covenants which, among other things, require the Company to adhere to regular reporting requirements, abide by shareholder dividend limitations, maintain certain financial performance, and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures. The Revolver is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets and expires on February 28, 2027. We were not in compliance with financial covenants related to the maximum operating expense contributions to our Mexican operations in the first and second quarters of 2024. We have received a waiver of this event of default from the bank. On March 27, 2025, we amended (the “First Amendment”) the Revolver to waive our non-compliance with the leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio as of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025. Provisions of the First Amendment relating to the Company’s compliance with these ratios were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). Provisions of the First Amendment relating to minimum EBITDA requirements of the Company were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). Provisions of the First Amendment requiring the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and Revolver availability (collectively, “Liquidity”) at specified levels were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). The First Amendment requires the Company to provide incremental monthly reporting and increased the Company’s borrowing rate by one percent until the Company is in compliance with the original terms of the Revolver. The First Amendment increases the borrowing rate for revolving loans by 100 basis points.

On May 14, 2025, we further amended (the “Second Amendment”) the Revolver, which amended the First Amendment in part, to defer the Company’s compliance with the leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio until the fourth quarter of 2025 at which time the Company must maintain (a) a leverage ratio of 2.5 times for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for each twelve-month quarterly reporting period thereafter; and (b) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.25 times for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for each twelve-month quarterly reporting period thereafter. The Company must also maintain adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization), as defined in the Revolver, as of the end of the second quarter of 2025 of at least $1,000, the third quarter of 2025 of at least $1,300 and the fourth quarter of 2025 and each quarter thereafter of at least $1,600. In addition, the Second Amendment requires the Company to always maintain Liquidity of at least $2,500. The Second Amendment shortened the duration of the Revolver to June 30, 2026 and increases the borrowing rate by 25 basis points. We were in compliance with financial covenants related to adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025.

On July 29, 2025, we amended the Revolver (the “Third Amendment”) to extend the expiration of the Revolver to August 31, 2026. We have recorded the outstanding Revolver amount of $ 12,030 as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Revolver, as amended, bears interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 8.0 % and 7.7 % as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had borrowings on our line of credit of $ 12,030 and $ 8,695 outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had unused availability on the line of credit of $ 2,970 , which is subject to a month end cap based on the previously noted minimum Liquidity.

The Company had an interim funding agreement with a bank related to deposits made on equipment purchases funded through a finance lease when the equipment was received and operational. The equipment was received, and the lease agreements were finalized during the second quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we have no amounts outstanding on the interim funding agreement for equipment.

In the preparation of the Company's financial statements, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to assess its ability to continue as a going concern. This analysis includes a number of factors including the Company's ability to repay debt which matures within one year of the issuance date of the Company's financial statements, as well as management's plan to mitigate any such considerations. The Company's Revolver, which has $ 12,030 outstanding as of September 30, 2025, matures on August 31, 2026 , and the Company has not completed its plan to refinance this debt as of the issuance date of these financial statements. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is executing a plan to refinance the maturing cash-flow-based Revolver to an asset-backed line of credit. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has received non-binding asset-backed financing term sheets from multiple lenders and engaged a financial advisor to assist in the refinancing process. Based on these proposals and the Company’s available assets, management believes it is probable that the refinancing will be effectively implemented before the maturity of the Revolver and will mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt is alleviated.

NOTE 5. LEASES

We have operating leases for certain manufacturing sites, office space, and equipment. Most leases include the option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term which includes renewal periods we are reasonably certain to exercise. Our leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have financing leases for certain property and equipment used in the normal course of business.

NOTE 7. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE DATA

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive net income per common share assumes the exercise and issuance of all potential common stock equivalents in computing the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless their effect is anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 2,785,541 2,760,438 2,773,401 2,754,399

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 2,785,541 2,760,438 2,773,401 2,931,343

1 The following items were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

| a. | For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, restricted stock units and stock options totaling 528,846 and 512,411 , respectively. |

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

On a quarterly basis, we estimate what our effective tax rate will be for the full fiscal year and record a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, we refine our estimate based on the facts and circumstances, including discrete events.

Field: Page; Sequence: 16; Value: 2

Field: /Page

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 122 % and ( 71 )%, respectively, compared to 8 % and 62 % for the same periods in 2024. The primary drivers of the change in effective tax rate were fluctuations in pretax income (loss), taxes on foreign entities and impact of the U.S. book loss on the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”).

In the third quarter of 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) restored the Company’s ability to immediately deduct domestic research and development expenses. The Company has prepared its tax provision for three and nine-months ending September 30, 2025 assuming it will take advantage of this provision of the OBBBA. As a result, the Company currently estimates that it will incur a U.S. tax loss for the Company in 2025, which will temporarily limit the Company’s ability to deduct interest expense and would impact the ability to claim foreign tax deductions and credits under the GILTI provisions of the US tax code. The impact to the GILTI results in a permanent unfavorable impact to the overall tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date periods in 2025. The Company plans to continue to review the impact of the OBBBA, and the various elections, including the Company’s deduction of research and development expense, to optimize tax cash payments, along with overall tax expense.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 represent a single operating and reporting segment referred to as Contract Manufacturing within the EMS industry.

NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

David Kunin, our Chairman, is a minority owner of Abilitech Medical, Inc. We had accounts receivable related to Abilitech of $ 226 as of December 31, 2023. Payments of $ 33 were received during the year ended December 31, 2024 and we wrote off the remaining receivables during 2024. Abilitech has ceased operations and therefore we do not believe that Abilitech will pay the Company for outstanding accounts receivable. The Company believes that transactions with Abilitech were on terms comparable to those that the Company could reasonably expect in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party.

David Kunin, our Chairman, is a minority owner (less than 10 %) of Marpe Technologies, LTD an early-stage medical device company dedicated to the early detection of skin cancer through full body scanners. Mr. Kunin is also a member of the Board of Directors of Marpe Technologies. The Company worked with Marpe Technologies to apply for a grant from the Israel-United States Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation, a legal entity created by Agreement between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of the United States of America (“BIRD Foundation”). The parties were successful in receiving approval for a $ 1,000 conditional grant. The Company and Marpe Technologies will each receive $ 500 from the BIRD Foundation and, among other obligations under the grant, each is required to contribute $ 500 to match grant funds from the BIRD Foundation. The Company met its obligation by providing certain services at cost or with respect to administrative services at no cost to Marpe Technologies. The total value of the Company’s contribution will not exceed $ 500 . Marpe is engaged in raising funds for its operations, which funds are necessary to pay for the Company’s services beyond its contribution. The Company will receive a 10 -year exclusive right to manufacture the products of Marpe Technologies. There can be no assurances that Marpe Technologies’ medical device operations will be commercially successful, that Marpe Technologies will be successful in raising additional funds to finance its operations or, if commercially successful, the Company will recover the value of services provided to Marpe if not paid when the services are provided. The transactions between the Company and Marpe Technologies have been approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Company Related-Party Transactions Policy. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized no net sales to Marpe Technologies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized net sales to Marpe Technologies of $ 8 and $ 75 , respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we have no outstanding accounts receivable. The Company believes that transactions with Marpe are on terms comparable to those that the Company could reasonably expect in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Restructuring Activities

In fiscal year 2024, the Company initiated a restructuring plan related to the closure of its Blue Earth, MN facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred restructuring charges related to staff reductions and activities related to the Blue Earth facility closure. The costs of these restructuring programs totaled $837, of which $266 was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $571 was recorded in the prior fiscal year. We did not record any amounts related to restructuring in the three months ended September 30, 2025. These costs are included in restructuring charges on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These charges relate to employee severance and facility closure costs. We do not expect significant additional expenses related to this plan.

Results of Operations

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $30,482 and $31,407, respectively, a comparative period decrease of $925 or 2.9%. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $88,052 and $99,513, respectively, a comparative period decrease of $11,461 or 11.5%. Net sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were negatively impacted by delays in Aerospace and Defense customer approvals of products transferred from our Blue Earth facility to our Bemidji facility as well as manufacturing and plant utilization inefficiencies related to the movement of various production between plants. Over the past two quarters, we have improved our manufacturing efficiencies as we complete product transfers between plants and realize improved manufacturing yields and productivity. The following is a summary of net sales by our major industry markets:

| ● | Medical
Device: Net sales to our medical customers decreased $139, or 1.6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with
the same period in 2024 and $2,522, or 9.5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the same period in 2024.
The decrease was primarily due to inventory re-balancing with existing customers and timing of customer product launches as well as lower
productivity as we managed our facility consolidation primarily in the first quarter of 2025. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Medical
Imaging: Net sales to our Medical Imaging customers increased $832, or 8.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared
with the same period in 2024 and $1,143, or 4.2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the same period in
2024. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume to existing customers as well as new program awards. |
| ● | Industrial: Net sales to our industrial customers decreased $222, or 2.6%,
in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the same period in 2024 and $3,970, or 14.4%, in the nine months ended September
30, 2025 as compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to customer order delays and part shortages. |
| ● | Aerospace and Defense: Net sales to our aerospace and defense customers
decreased $1,396, or 28.3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the same period in 2024 and $6,112, or 34.2%,
in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease in net sales in the quarterly comparison
primarily relates to higher over time revenue in the third quarter of 2024 due from increased production in anticipation of the closure
of the Blue Earth facility. The decrease in net sales in the year-to-date comparison relates to delays in customer approvals as we have
consolidated this business into our Bemidji facility and higher over time revenue in the third quarter of 2024 due from increased production
in anticipation of the closure of the Blue Earth facility. |

Backlog. Our 90-day shipment backlog as of September 30, 2025 was $31,322, an in crease of 17.8% from $26,592 at the beginning of the quarter, and a 5.7% increase from September 30, 2024. Our 90-day backlog consists of firm purchase orders we expect to ship in the next 90 days, with any remaining amounts to be shipped within 180 days.

Our total order backlog as of September 30, 2025, was $77,292, representing a 1.4% decrease from $78,351 at the beginning of the quarter and a 10.8% increase compared to the same period in the prior year; this year over year growth was primarily driven by an increase in Aerospace and Defense orders.

90-day shipment and total backlog by our major industry markets are as follows:

Gross profit and gross margins. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 16.5% and 12.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 14.7% and 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarterly and year to date comparison periods was the result of improved plant utilization primarily from our restructuring activities and favorable sales mix.

Selling expenses . Selling expenses, as measured as a percentage of net sales , were 4.0% and 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Selling expenses, as measured as a percentage of net sales , were 4.1% and 2.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. In 2025, we realigned the reporting structure of our customer facing managers from plant operations to business development. As a result, this increase is a result of this realignment from cost of sales as well as the impact of fixed costs on a lower revenue base.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses, as measured as a percentage of net sales, were 8.5% and 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 9.2% and 9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased in the quarterly and year to date 2025 periods by $358 and $1,006, respectively, as compared with the 2024 periods primarily as the result of lower incentive compensation accruals in the current year.

Restructuring charges . Restructuring charges were $0 and $266 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. During the first quarter of 2025, we incurred $235 of severance charges for a February 2025 reduction in force to align staffing to our forecasted net sales and $31 of expenses related to our closed Blue Earth facility. Restructuring charges were $176 and $267 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, for accrued employee retention bonuses for our facility consolidation and closure of our Blue Earth facility.

Operating (loss) income. Operating income was $945 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 or 3.1% of net sales and operating loss was $(467) or (1.5)% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven by the improved gross margin and lower incentive compensation expense. Operating income was $74 or 0.1% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and was $1,032 or 1.0% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by the decrease in net sales and resulting gross margin.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $273 and $216 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense was $744 and $548 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase was driven by higher borrowings under our line of credit arrangement. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of financing arrangements.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 122% and (71)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 8% and 62%, respectively. The primary drivers of the change in effective tax rate were changes in pretax income (loss) and taxes on foreign entities.

In the third quarter of 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) restored the Company’s ability to immediately deduct domestic research and development expenses. The Company has prepared its tax provision for three and nine-months ending September 30, 2025 assuming it will take advantage of this provision of the OBBBA. As a result, the Company currently estimates that it will incur a U.S. tax loss for the Company in 2025, which will temporarily limit the Company’s ability to deduct interest expense and would impact the ability to claim foreign tax deductions and credits under the GILTI provisions of the US tax code. The impact to the GILTI results in a permanent unfavorable impact to the overall tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date periods in 2025. The Company plans to continue to review the impact of the OBBBA, and the various elections, including the Company’s deduction of research and development expense, to optimize tax cash payments, along with overall tax expense.

Cash Flow Operating Results

The following is a summary of cash flow results:

Nine Months Ended September 30, — 2025 2024
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ (2,865 ) $ (3,043 )
Investing activities (13 ) (971 )
Financing activities 3,218 3,561
Effect of exchange rates on changes in cash and cash equivalents 15 17
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 355 $ (436 )

Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities was $2,865 in the first nine months of 2025, compared with $3,043 in the same prior-year period. Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities affecting cash flows during these periods included:

| ● | Cash
used by accounts receivable and contract assets was $5,411 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with cash provided
of $2,150 in the same prior-year period. The use of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is largely due to timing of
customer shipments and cash collections. The cash provided in the prior year was due to an expected increase in cash collections
due to higher sales and the timing of customer payments, partially offset by an increase in contract assets to support future customer shipments. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Cash
provided by inventory was $2,823 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with cash used of $922 in the prior-year
period. The decrease in the current-year period cash usage was the result of normal timing variances of inventory purchases and timing
of product shipments as well as the results of our plan to reduce inventory balances in 2025. |

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $13 in the first nine months of 2025, compared with $971 in the same prior-year period. The increase in proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $504 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $9 in the same prior-year period was primarily due to the sale of the Blue Earth property and equipment.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $3,218 in the first nine months of 2025 and $3,561 in the same prior-year period. The cash provided by financing activities in both periods resulted from the line of credit advances for working capital and operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the preparation of the Company's financial statements, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to assess its ability to continue as a going concern. This analysis includes a number of factors including the Company's ability to repay debt which matures within one year of the issuance date of the Company's financial statements, as well as management's plan to mitigate any such considerations. The Company's Revolver, which has $12,030 outstanding as of September 30, 2025, matures on August 31, 2026, and the Company has not completed its plan to refinance this debt as of the issuance date of these financial statements. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is executing a plan to refinance the maturing cash-flow-based Revolver to an asset-backed line of credit. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has received non-binding asset-backed financing term sheets from multiple lenders and engaged a financial advisor to assist in the refinancing process. Based on these proposals and the Company’s available assets, management believes it is probable that the refinancing will be effectively implemented before the maturity of the Revolver and will mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt is alleviated. Based on the planned refinancing arrangement, anticipated operating cash flows, and cash on hand, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt repayments for the next twelve months. We were in compliance with financial covenants related to adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025.

On February 29, 2024, we entered into a $15,000 Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit with Bank of America (the “Revolver”). The Revolver allows for borrowings at a defined base rate, or at the one, three or six month Secured Overnight Finance Rate, also known as “SOFR,” plus a defined margin. If the Company prepays SOFR borrowings before their contractual maturity, the Company has agreed to compensate the bank for lost margin, as defined in the Revolver agreement. The Company is required to quarterly pay a 20-basis point fee on the unused portion of the Revolver.

Field: /Page

The Revolver requires the Company to maintain no more than 2.5 times leverage ratio and at least a 1.25 times minimum fixed charges coverage ratio, both of which are defined in the Revolver agreement. These ratios are calculated based on trailing twelve-month results. There are no subjective acceleration clauses under the Revolver that would accelerate the maturity of outstanding borrowings. The Revolver contains certain covenants which, among other things, require the Company to adhere to regular reporting requirements, abide by shareholder dividend limitations, maintain certain financial performance, and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures. The Revolver is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets and expires on February 28, 2027. We were not in compliance with financial covenants related to the maximum operating expense contributions to our Mexican operations in the first and second quarters of 2024. We have received a waiver of this event of default from the bank. On March 27, 2025, we amended (the “First Amendment”) the Revolver to waive our non-compliance with the leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio as of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025. Provisions of the First Amendment relating to the Company’s compliance with these ratios were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). Provisions of the First Amendment relating to minimum EBITDA requirements of the Company were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). Provisions of the First Amendment requiring the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and Revolver availability (collectively, “Liquidity”) at specified levels were replaced with provisions of the Second Amendment (described below). The First Amendment requires the Company to provide incremental monthly reporting and increased the Company’s borrowing rate by one percent until the Company is in compliance with the original terms of the Revolver. The First Amendment increases the borrowing rate for revolving loans by 100 basis points.

On May 14, 2025, we further amended (the “Second Amendment”) the Revolver, which amended the First Amendment in part, to defer the Company’s compliance with the leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio until the fourth quarter of 2025 at which time the Company must maintain (a) a leverage ratio of 2.5 times for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for each twelve-month quarterly reporting period thereafter; and (b) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.25 times for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for each twelve-month quarterly reporting period thereafter. The Company must also maintain adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization), as defined in the Revolver, as of the end of the second quarter of 2025 of at least $1,000, the third quarter of 2025 of at least $1,300 and the fourth quarter of 2025 and each quarter thereafter of at least $1,600. In addition, the Second Amendment requires the Company to always maintain Liquidity of at least $2,500. The Second Amendment shortened the duration of the Revolver to June 30, 2026 and increases the borrowing rate by 25 basis points.

On July 29, 2025, we amended the Revolver (the “Third Amendment”) to extend the expiration of the Revolver to August 31, 2026. We have recorded the outstanding Revolver amount of $12,030 as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Revolver, as amended, bears interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 8.0% and 7.7% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had borrowings on our line of credit of $12,030 and $8,695 outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had unused availability on the line of credit of $2,970, which is subject to a month end cap based on the previously noted minimum Liquidity.

The Company had an interim funding agreement with a bank related to deposits made on equipment purchases funded through a finance lease when the equipment was received and operational. The equipment was received, and the lease agreements were finalized during the second quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we have no amounts outstanding on the interim funding agreement for equipment.

Net sales in the first two quarters of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024 were negatively impacted by delays in Aerospace and Defense customer approvals of products transferred from our Blue Earth facility to our Bemidji facility as well as manufacturing and plant utilization inefficiencies related to the movement of various production between plants. Over the past two quarters, we have improved our manufacturing efficiencies as we complete product transfers between plants and realize improved manufacturing yields and productivity. The Company implemented plant optimization activities and cost-cutting initiatives in the first two quarters of 2025 to address losses. As a result of these activities, we have realized combined income from operations of $1,687 over the past two quarters. These actions plus continued efforts to improve manufacturing efficiencies and the planned reduction in inventory levels are intended to drive reduced borrowings during the fourth quarter of 2025.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are affected by the risks specific to us as well as factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market. The significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results or could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended under the heading “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes in the risk factors from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as set forth below.

If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our credit agreement, we may be unable to secure additional financing and repayment obligations on our outstanding indebtedness may be accelerated.

Our credit agreement contains financial and operating covenants with which we must comply. Effective as of February 29, 2024, we entered into a new credit agreement with Bank of America (the “Revolver”.) Our Revolver contains financial and operating covenants with which we must comply. Our compliance with these covenants is dependent on our financial results, which are subject to fluctuation as described elsewhere in these risk factors. We were not in compliance with financial covenants related to the maximum operating expense contributions to our Mexican operations in the first and second quarters of 2024. We received a waiver of the Mexican operating expenses event of default from the bank in August 2024.

On March 27, 2025, we signed the First Amendment to the Revolver to waive the leverage ratio and minimum charge coverage ratio events of default as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 and to further defer the Company’s compliance with these ratios until the third quarter of 2025, and reset compliance thresholds for our covenant ratios for 2025. The First Amendment also set minimum EBITDA levels for the second, third and fourth quarters and increased the borrowing rate by 100 basis points. On May 14, 2025, we signed the Second Amendment to the Revolver to defer the Company’s compliance with the leverage ratio and minimum charge coverage ratio until the fourth quarter. The Second Amendment also modified downward the minimum EBITDA levels for the second, third and fourth quarters and shortened the duration of the Revolver to June 30, 2026 and further increased the borrowing rate by 25 basis points. For the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company may not be greater than 2.50/1.00 given the Company EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2025. On July 29, 2025, we signed the Third Amendment to the Revolver delaying expiration of the Revolver to August 31, 2026.

We have included the Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, Waiver, and Consent, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement as exhibits to this filing and any description of that document contained in this risk factor is only a summary and is qualified by its entirety by the filed documents. If we fail to comply with the covenants in the future or if our lender does not agree to waive any future non-compliance, we may be unable to borrow funds and any outstanding indebtedness could become immediately due and payable, which could materially harm our business.

Impairment of Our Long-Lived Assets Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

We evaluate long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, whenever current events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability for assets to be held and used is based on our projection of the undiscounted future operating cash flows of the underlying assets. To the extent such projections indicate that future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of related assets, a charge might be required to reduce the carrying amount to equal estimated fair value.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s common stock was trading at a value less than the Company’s net equity value. As such, the Company evaluated future undiscounted cash flows and determined that no long-lived asset impairment was required as of September 30, 2025. If the fair value of our other long-lived assets is less than their carrying value, we may be required to record a non-cash impairment charge, which could be material. Such charges could negatively impact our results of operations, potentially affect our compliance with debt covenants, and reduce the perceived value of our Company. There can be no assurance that future reviews of long-lived assets will not result in impairment charges, particularly in periods of market or economic volatility.
