On March 28, 2026, the Company entered into and closed the transactions contemplated by that certain Asset Purchase and License Agreement (the “Honeywell Generators Agreement”) with Honeywell. Pursuant to the Generators Agreement, Honeywell sold, assigned or licensed certain assets related to its electronic generator and generator control unit for the F-15 and 767 tanker/freight platforms, including a sale of certain inventory, equipment and customer-related documents; an assignment of certain contracts; and a grant of exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to use certain Honeywell intellectual property related to its electronic generator and generator control unit for the F-15 and 767 tanker/freight platforms to repair, overhaul, manufacture, sell, import, export and distribute certain products to the Company for consideration of $8.0 million in cash.
Current report
Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $10.9 million, or 48.9% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $10.7 million, or 48.6% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 principally reflects product mix, with net sales growth of $4.3 million in commercial aftermarket sales while OEM and military net sales decreased by $4.4 million and net service sales decreased by $0.7 million. Gross profit was $11.4 million, or 51.1% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $11.3 million, or 51.4% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The slight decrease in gross margin principally reflects the higher amortization expense for intangible and other long-term assets, partially offset by improved absorption of fixed costs due to the increase in net sales.

Previous report
The Company sells its products to agencies of the United States and foreign governments, aircraft operators, aircraft modification centers and OEMs. Customers have been and may continue to be affected by changes in economic conditions both in the United States and abroad. Such changes may cause customers to curtail or delay their spending on both new and existing aircraft. Factors that can impact general economic conditions and the level of spending by customers include, but are not limited to, general levels of consumer spending, increases in fuel and energy costs, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, inflation, public health crises and pandemics and other macroeconomic factors that affect spending

behavior. Furthermore, spending by government agencies may be reduced in the future. If customers curtail or delay their spending or are forced to declare bankruptcy or liquidate their operations because of adverse economic conditions, the Company’s revenues and results of operations would be affected adversely. For example, in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, changes in U.S. administrative tariff policy, have led to increases in tariffs for imported goods. Thus far, the impact to Company has been nominal.

The increase in net sales principally reflects an increase of $5.5 million in commercial aftermarket product sales, partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in military product sales, primarily due to the transition of the F-16 production into the Exton facility and a decrease of $0.5 million in business aviation. Services sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $2.3 million, or 37.7%, compared to Services sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024, of $6.0 million.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2026, increased by 16.5% to $44.2 million, up from net sales of $37.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net sales principally reflects an increase of $9.9 million in commercial aftermarket product sales and an increase of $,0.6 million in business aviation, partially offset by a decrease of $5.9 million in military product sales, primarily due to the transition of F-16 production into the Exton facility. Services sales for the six months ended March 31, 2026, increased $1.6 million, or 10.6% to $16.3 million, compared to Services sales for the six months ended March 31, 2025, of $14.7 million. The increase in Services sales primarily reflects growth in service volumes related to the IRUs and radio product lines acquired in 2023 and 2024 of $1.7 million, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in legacy customer service revenue.

Research and development. R&D expense increased $1.1 million, or 57.8%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses increased to 7.0% of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.3% of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $1.0 million of R&D expense was recharacterized as cost of sales related to the EDC sales, which was offset by $0.8 million in additional engineering staffing to support the Company’s development programs.
