Custom Manufacturing
Current report
We manufacture a variety of components in accordance with our internal core competencies and external customer needs and requirements. We also provide manufacturing engineering services to assist customers in optimizing their engineering designs for manufacturability. We do not design the components we manufacture; we custom manufacture according to customer “build-to-print” requirements and specifications. Accordingly, we do not distribute the components that we manufacture on the open market, and we do not market any products. We do not own the intellectual property rights to any proprietary marketed product, and we do not manufacture in anticipation of orders. Our custom manufacturing operations do not commence on any project before we receive and accept a customer’s purchase order. We only accept contracts that cover specific components within the capability of our resources.
Current report
We primarily target repeating custom programs with relatively mature and stable designs in order to provide long-term solutions for our customers. The multi-unit work is repeat work or a single product with multiple quantity releases. Secondarily, our activities include a variety of both multi-unit and one-off requirements. The one-off work is typically either a prototype or a unique, one-of-a-kind component.
Current report
Changes in regulations and market demand for our manufacturing expertise can be significant and sudden, and require us to adapt to the needs of the customers that we serve Understanding this dynamic, we focus on the defense industry in order to reliably pivot with our defense customers to jointly develop the capability to transform our workforce to manufacture components in accordance with our own and our external customers’ changing requirements.

Revenue
Current report
*Consolidated -*Revenue was $34,031 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, or 8% higher when compared to revenue of $31,591 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Revenue increased primarily on a period of efficient throughput at Stadco during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 as relative contract values increased year-over-year. However, as described in the gross profit and gross margin section below, higher or lower relative contract prices may not necessarily result in higher or lower gross profit or gross margin. The consolidated backlog was $48,625 as of March 31, 2025. Our project order flow from prime defense contractors remains strong.
Current report
*Ranor -*Revenue was $18,165 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $344 or 2% higher when compared to the same period a year ago, as we executed on a different project mix.

Removed paragraphs (40)
Previous report
Through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ranor and Stadco, each of which is a reportable segment, we offer a full range of services required to transform raw materials into precision finished products. Our manufacturing capabilities include fabrication operations (cutting, press and roll forming, assembly, welding, heat treating, blasting, and painting) and machining operations including CNC (computer numerical controlled) horizontal and vertical milling centers. We also provide support services to our manufacturing capabilities: manufacturing engineering (planning, fixture and tooling development, manufacturing), quality control (inspection and testing), materials procurement, production control (scheduling, project management and expediting) and final assembly.
Previous report
All manufacturing is done in accordance with our written quality assurance program, which meets specific national and international codes, standards, and specifications. The standards used are specific to the customers’ needs, and our manufacturing operations are conducted in accordance with these standards.
Previous report
Because our revenues are derived from the sale of goods manufactured pursuant to contracts, and we do not sell from inventory, it is necessary for us to constantly seek new contracts. There may be a time lag between our completion of one contract and commencement of work on another contract. During such periods, we may continue to incur overhead expense but with lower revenue resulting in lower operating margins. Furthermore, changes in either the scope of an existing contract or related delivery schedules may impact the revenue we receive under the contract and the allocation of manpower. Although we provide manufacturing services for large governmental programs, we usually do not work directly for the government or its agencies. Rather, we perform our services for large governmental contractors. Our business is dependent in part on the continuation of governmental programs that require our services and products.

Strategy
Previous report
We aim to establish our expertise in program and project management and develop and expand a repeatable customer business model in all of our markets. We concentrate our sales and marketing activities on customers under two main industry groups: defense and precision industrial. Our strategy is to leverage our core competence as a manufacturer of high-precision, large-scale metal fabrications and machined components to optimize profitability of our current business and expand with key customers in markets that have shown increasing demand.
Previous report
Defense
Previous report
Our Ranor subsidiary performs precision fabrication and machining for the defense and aerospace industries, delivering defense components meeting our customers’ stringent design specifications, as well as quality and safety manufacturing standards specifically for defense component fabrication and machining. Ranor has in recent years delivered critical components in support of, among other projects, the U.S. Navy’s Virginia-class fast attack submarine program and Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program. In addition, the team at Ranor has successfully developed new, effective approaches to fabrication that continue to be utilized at our facility and at our customer’s own defense component manufacturing facilities. We have endeavored to increase our business development efforts with large prime defense contractors. Based upon these efforts, we believe there are opportunities to secure additional business with existing and new defense contractors who are actively looking to increase outsourced content on certain defense programs over the next several years, especially in connection with the submarine programs. We believe that the military quality certifications Ranor maintains and its ability to offer fabrication and manufacturing services at a single facility position it as an attractive outsourcing partner for prime contractors looking to increase outsourced production.
Previous report
Sales to defense market customers have generated the largest proportion of our revenues from both of our reportable segments for the last two fiscal years, and we expect sales to defense customers to be our strongest market during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, or “fiscal 2025”, as well.
Previous report
Precision Industrial
Previous report
The customers within this market are impacted primarily by general economic conditions which may include changes in consumer consumption or demand for commercial construction for infrastructure. We serve several different customers in our precision industrial group. For example, we have built a range of components for customers in the power generation markets and large-scale medical device markets.
Previous report
The power generation businesses among our energy market customers are impacted by pricing and demand for various forms of energy (e.g., coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear). Our nuclear customers are typically dependent upon the need for new construction, maintenance, and overhaul and repair by nuclear energy providers. Also, changes in regulation may impact demand and supply. As such, we cannot assure that we will be able to develop any significant business from the nuclear industry. However, because we have manufacturing capabilities for producing components for new nuclear power plants and our historic relationships with suppliers in the nuclear power industry, we believe that we are positioned to benefit from any increased demand in the nuclear sector.

Net Sales
Previous report
Consolidated - Period-to-period revenue reflects production performance under new and ongoing contracts with changes in net sales due to varying levels of throughput. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, 99% of our net sales were in the defense sector, where we have customers in the aerospace, military and shipbuilding industries.
Previous report
Consolidated net sales were $31.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, or 1% higher when compared to consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Net sales decreased by $1.4 million at Ranor but was more than offset by an increase of $2.3 million at Stadco. Both segments logged a different proportionate mix of products for the comparable periods.
Previous report
Ranor - Net sales were $17.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.4 million or 7% lower when compared to the same prior-year period, as fewer labor hours were charged directly to projects. Average selling prices were higher but not enough to offset the lower volume. The defense backlog remains strong as new orders for components related to a variety of programs, including the U.S. Navy submarine programs continue to flow down from our existing base of prime defense contractors. Backlog at Ranor on March 31, 2024 was $21.1 million.
Previous report
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Previous report
Consolidated – Cost of sales consists primarily of raw materials, parts, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our cost of sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, was $27.5 million, or 4% higher compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Gross profit decreased by $0.8 million, or 16% when compared to the same period a year ago. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was 13.0% compared to 15.6% in fiscal year 2023.
Previous report
Ranor – Gross profit decreased by $2.4 million or 35% due primarily to lower revenue and under absorbed overhead. Certain supply chain impacts on customer furnished material were also evident during part of the reporting period which led to fewer direct labor hours of input for fiscal 2024. As a result, factory overhead was under-applied to our work-in-progress.
Previous report
Stadco – Gross profit was negative for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 but our losses decreased by 79% when compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as our work force utilization has slowly improved over-time as direct labor hours charged to projects has increased year-over-year. Production delays related to equipment down-time were resolved in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and overhead absorption improved when compared to the same period a year ago. Repairs and maintenance expense increased by 12% year-over-year.
Previous report
Consolidated - Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 increased by $2.7 million or 46% due primarily to outside advisory costs of $1.9 million, a break-up fee for $1.1 million in connection with the terminated Votaw acquisition, and $0.3 million for a claims settlement, partially offset by a $0.6 reduction in compensation at Stadco.
Previous report
Ranor – The total change for the comparable fiscal years includes reduced spending for outside advisory fees of $128,000, office costs for $29,000, and compensation $15,000. The prior fiscal year period included a one-time fee for services rendered in connection with securing the Employee Retention Tax Credit refund.
Previous report
Stadco - SG&A expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $280,000, primarily the result of reductions in office staff compensation, which was offset in part by an increase for a claims settlement of $278,000.
Previous report
Corporate and unallocated - SG&A increased by $3.2 million, due primarily to one-time outside advisory and pre-acquisition advisory and legal expenses ($1.9 million) plus a breakup fee ($1.1 million) in connection with the terminated Votaw acquisition.
Previous report
Consolidated - As a result of the foregoing, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we reported an operating loss of $4.6 million, which was $3.5 million higher than the operating loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Operating income at Ranor was not enough to offset operating losses at Stadco plus an increase for corporate outside advisory and pre-acquisition costs.
Previous report
Stadco – Operating losses decreased as certain projects with production issues, including equipment downtime, were resolved early in the fiscal year, with revenue growth and better throughput achieved through the remainder of the period.
Previous report
Corporate and unallocated – Operating loss reflects the increase in SG&A discussed above due primarily from outside advisory and pre-acquisition due diligence spending ($1.9 million), and a one-time breakup fee ($1.1 million) in connection with the terminated Votaw acquisition.
Previous report
Interest expense increased under the Revolver Loan (as defined below) by $138,987 when compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, due to higher amounts borrowed and higher interest rates. Interest paid for term loans and other borrowings decreased by $20,411. We expect that future interest expense increases or decreases will likely correlate directly with borrowing levels under the Revolver Loan.
Previous report
Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC)
Previous report
Other income for fiscal 2023 includes $636,564 for a refundable Employee Retention Tax Credit authorized under the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act for eligible employers with qualified wages.
Previous report
For fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.9 million, compared with tax expense of $0.2 million in fiscal 2023. The fiscal 2024 provision is the sum of tax expense from an increase in the valuation allowance of $3.1 million, offset in part by a federal and state tax benefit due to higher pretax losses.

Previous report
Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2024 was $1.3 million. In addition to customer advances and progress payments, cash provided by operating activities included reimbursements under a certain customer project program. The sum of these customer payments was partially offset by payments for obligations for goods and services that had been acquired on open account from suppliers.
Previous report
Fiscal 2023 was generally marked by favorable project performance progress and delivery schedules that led to timely customer payments. Cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 was $3.1 million, as customer cash advances and collections exceeded cash outflows on projects in-progress. Also included in that amount, was $0.6 million for refunds under the employee retention tax credit program, and a $1.0 million reimbursement under a certain customer project program.

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

As a result of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the required minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) month period ending March 31, 2024 as set forth in the Loan Agreement, or the “Existing Default”, the borrowers acknowledge that a certain Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement. The borrowers further acknowledge that the sixth amendment to the Agreement constitutes written notice pursuant to the Loan Documents of such Existing Default. Regardless of entering into this Agreement or any discussions between Borrowers and Lender, the Lender expressly reserves any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents, the Collateral Documents, and under applicable law, including, without limitation, its right to choose to accelerate and demand the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents and seek immediate repayment in full, and institute the default rate of interest as of the date of the occurrence of the default or at any time thereafter, as a result of any default or event of default, including, without limitation, the Existing Default, that have arisen or may arise. No such discussions or the entering into of this Agreement shall imply any course of conduct or any agreement on the part of Lender to waive any of its rights and remedies or to forbear from taking any action authorized by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Documents, or by applicable law while discussions continue.

Previous wording
There was $7.6 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement on March 31, 2024. Without a waiver, the lender has the right, but not the obligation, to demand repayment from the Company for noncompliance with the debt covenants. In addition, the bank retains the right to act on covenant violations that occur after the date of delivery of any waiver. The lender has not granted us a waiver. As such, we need to seek alternative financing to pay these obligations as the Company does not have existing facilities or sufficient cash on hand to satisfy these obligations. It is also probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the same debt covenants at subsequent measurement dates within the next twelve months. As a result of the above, all of our long-term debt has been classified as current in our consolidated balance sheet.
