Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company” or “ARC”) is a leading, global advanced manufacturer offering a full suite of products and services to its customers, including: (i) metal injection molding (“MIM”); (ii) 3D metal and plastic printing (also referred to as “Additive Manufacturing”); (iii) precision metal stamping; (iv) traditional and clean room plastic injection molding; and (v) advanced rapid and conformal tooling. Through the Company’s diverse product offering, ARC provides its customers with a holistic prototyping and full-run production solution for both precision metal and plastic fabrication. The Company further differentiates itself from its competitors by providing innovative, custom capabilities, which improve high-precision manufacturing efficiency and speed-to-market for its customers.

ARC’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of key technologies, such as automation, robotics, production software, and 3D printing, in traditional manufacturing, thereby benefiting from the elimination of inefficiencies currently present in the global supply chain. Further, ARC seeks to create innovative ways to streamline and improve the overall manufacturing process, including offering instant online quoting, in-house rapid and advanced conformal tooling, and a full suite of prototype-to-production capabilities.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30, and the quarters for interim reporting consist of thirteen weeks; therefore, the quarter end will not always coincide with the date of the calendar month-end.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. As such, this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the amounts of ARC and its controlled subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Non-Controlling Interests

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company purchased approximately 1.9% of the outstanding non-controlling membership interests of Tekna Seal LLC. On September 30, 2016, the Company sold Tekna Seal LLC, which included 95.7% owned by the Company and 4.3% held by minority stakeholders (see Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for more information). Effective October 3, 2016, the Company purchased 3.8% of the outstanding non-controlling membership interests of FloMet LLC, increasing the Company’s ownership to 100%. As a result of these transactions, there is no non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2017. The Company has recognized the carrying value of the non-controlling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity for the applicable periods presented.

In connection with the purchase of the outstanding non-controlling membership interests of FloMet LLC, we entered into a Consent and Agreement with the seller that provides in the event of any sale of FloMet LLC within three years from October 3, 2016, if such sale price is higher than the sale of the interests by the Seller, the Seller shall receive a proportionate gross up payment reflecting such higher price.

Comprehensive Income

For each of the quarters ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, there were no material differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Period

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update requires an entity to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current within a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016, but early adoption is permitted. This update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-17 on a prospective basis as of July 1, 2016; therefore, the prior period was not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs to ASC Topic 835, Interest - Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 on July 1, 2016, which required retroactive application and represented a change in accounting principle. The deferred financing costs of approximately $1.3 million associated with a portion of our outstanding debt, which were previously included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, are reflected as a reduction to the carrying liability of the Company’s outstanding debt. As a result of this change in accounting principle, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 was adjusted as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2016
	Previously		Effect of Adoption of
	Reported		Accounting Principle		As Adjusted
Assets:
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	4,378	$	(429)	$	3,949
Other assets	$	948	$	(920)	$	28
Total assets	$	121,798	$	(1,349)	$	120,449

Liabilities:
Bank borrowings, current portion of long-term debt	$	15,909	$	(261)	$	15,648
Long-term debt, net of current portion	$	37,857	$	(1,088)	$	36,769
Total liabilities	$	77,255	$	(1,349)	$	75,906

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases: Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”), to supersede nearly all existing lease guidance under GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases. ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date for one year beyond the originally specified effective date. ASU 2014-09 is effective in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019 and may transition to the standard using either the full retrospective approach or retrospectively with a cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – Discontinued Operations

On September 30, 2016, the Company sold its non-core subsidiary, Tekna Seal LLC (“Tekna Seal”), to Winchester Electronics Corporation (“Winchester”) pursuant to a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement for $10.5 million in cash. The sale to Winchester covered all of the membership interests of Tekna Seal, including 95.7% owned by the Company and 4.3% held by the Tekna Seal minority stakeholders. The proceeds of the sale, after giving effect to any working capital adjustments, will be allocated among the Company and the minority sellers proportionate to their respective ownership of pre-closing membership interests. The Company used the net cash proceeds of the sale to repay principal outstanding under the Company’s revolving loan. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company finalized the working capital adjustments with Winchester and paid the former minority stakeholders.

Below is a summary of the gain on sale of discontinued operations (in thousands):

New Senior Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a new senior asset-based lending credit agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. (the “Senior ABL Credit Facility”).

The Senior ABL Credit Facility provides the Company with the following extensions of credit and loans: (1) a Revolving Commitment in the principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and (2) a mortgage-based Term Loan Commitment in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Term Loan”). The loans under the Senior ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets of the Company and guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries who are not borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

The aggregate amount of revolving loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of: (i) the sum of 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of 65% of the value of certain eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of certain eligible inventory, plus (iii) an amount not to exceed $4.2 million, which amount will be adjusted based on the face amount of certain letters of credit issued to Citizens Bank, N.A. in connection with certain operating leases and capitalized leases, minus (iv) reserves for any amounts which the lender deems necessary or appropriate.

Borrowings under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Base Rate loans will bear interest at the fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) Citizens own prime rate; and (c) the adjusted Eurodollar rate on such day for an interest period of one (1) month plus 1.00%; and (ii) plus the Applicable Rate, as described below. Eurodollar Rate Loans will bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate; plus (ii) the Applicable Rate. The “Applicable Rate” will be (a) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Term Loans, and (b) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, in each case until December 31, 2016, and thereafter the Applicable Rate will be adjusted quarterly, responsive to the Company’s Quarterly Average Availability Percentage, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and from 2.25% to 2.75% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans. In addition to interest payments on the Senior ABL Credit Facility loans, the Company will pay commitment fees to the lender of 0.375% per quarter on undrawn Revolving Loans. The Company will also pay other customary fees and reimbursements of costs and disbursements to the lender.

The Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan is August 11, 2019, provided, however, upon repayment of Company subordinated indebtedness the maturity date will automatically extend to five years after the Closing Date for Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, and with respect to the Term Loans, the earlier of the date that is (i) ten years after the Closing Date and (ii) the maturity date of the Revolving Loans. The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including mandatory prepayments due in respect of sales of assets, sales of equity securities, events of default and other customary events, with exceptions for non-core business dispositions.

Table of Contents

The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains customary covenants and negative covenants regarding operation of the Company’s business, including maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as restrictions on dispositions of Company assets.

In connection with the Senior ABL Credit Facility, the Company and the Borrowers together with certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), have entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. dated as of September 29, 2016, which secures all of the loans and credits drawn from the Senior ABL Credit Facility by the Borrowers. The security interests established under the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement include senior secured liens on substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors. The Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the unconditional payment and performance to the lender of all obligations of the Borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

Prior Amended & Restated Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company refinanced all of the existing long-term debt obligations with Citizens Bank, N.A. into the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above. The Company accounted for the refinancing as an extinguishment of debt and wrote off $0.7 million of previously deferred financing fees.

Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement

On November 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $20.0 million, five-year Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with McLarty Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“McLarty”), which bears interest at 11% annually. Upon an event of default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the interest rate increases automatically by 2.00% annually. The proceeds were used to repay certain outstanding loans under the Company’s previous credit facility. McLarty is indirectly a related party to one of the officers and directors of the Company; therefore, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to assure that the Subordinated Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

On April 20, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (“McLarty Second Amendment”), as previously amended on December 29, 2014, to modify certain terms including:

(1)

Allows for the exclusion from the fixed charge coverage ratio $1.3 million of certain federal and state taxes paid related to prior years, effective March 27, 2016;

(2)

Modifies the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum total leverage ratio in line with the Company’s current financial expectations, effective March 27, 2016; and

(3)

Establishes mandatory prepayments that will be required upon the completion of asset sales or sale-leaseback transactions, with the amount of the prepayments to be determined based upon achievement of certain leverage ratios.

The Subordinated Loan Agreement has been subordinated to the Senior ABL Credit Facility pursuant to a First Lien Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and prepayment terms that are similar to those contained in the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Subordinated Credit Facility.

Loan Contract

On March 23, 2016, AFT-Hungary Kft. (“AFT Hungary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Contract with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt. in an amount equal to €4.0 million (“Loan Contract”). The initial funding of €4.0 million drawn on the Loan Contract occurred on March 31, 2016. Approximately $3.0 million of the net proceeds from the Loan Contract were used to partially repay obligations outstanding under the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, with the remaining net proceeds to be used for capital expenditures and other investments to facilitate the export of goods and services provided by AFT Hungary.

Table of Contents

The loan matures on March 7, 2021, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 0.98% per annum. The Company is required to make semi-annual principal payments in an amount equal to approximately €400,000 along with monthly interest payments. The Loan Contract is secured by certain of AFT Hungary’s assets, including the real estate and selected machinery and equipment located in Retsag, Hungary.

Future Debt Payments

The following schedule represents the Company’s future debt payments as of January 1, 2017 (in thousands):


2017 (1)	$	861
2018		1,722

2021		19,442
Total	$	45,469

(1)

Represents long-term debt principal payments for the six month period ending June 30, 2017.

NOTE 9 – Income Taxes

The income tax receivable was $0.2 and $1.6 million at January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the income taxes receivable during the six months ended January 1, 2017, was primarily associated with the receipt of a federal income tax refund of approximately $0.9 million related to the carryback of the Company’s 2015 net operating loss. The remaining income taxes receivable has been netted to reflect a current period taxes payable of $0.1 million due primarily to the gain on the sale of Tekna Seal. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $1.1 million and $1.0 million on January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities.

NOTE 10 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. In connection with the acquisitions of ATC and Kecy, the Company issued a total of 905,414 shares of common stock, which were placed in escrow to satisfy certain working capital adjustments and/or indemnification obligations. As these escrow shares are expected to be returned to the Company, the escrow shares have been excluded from the basic and diluted earnings per share computations. In February 2016, the 233,788 shares of common stock previously issued for the ATC acquisition were returned to the Company and retired.

As a result of the Company’s net loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended January 1, 2017, potentially dilutive stock options of approximately 437,804 and 275,779 were considered anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended December 27, 2015, the Company had no outstanding equity awards or other potentially dilutive securities; therefore, there was no computation of dilutive securities.

NOTE 11 – Share-Based Compensation

In November 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors. The 2015 Plan reserves for issuance a total of 950,000 shares of common stock, which may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other types of awards as authorized under the plan. As of January 1, 2017, there were 7,125 shares of common stock available to be granted under the 2015 Plan. In the case of stock options, the exercise price of the stock options granted may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock at the date of grant. The Committee determines the vesting conditions of awards; however, the performance period for an award subject to the satisfaction of performance measures may not exceed five years. The 2015 Plan will terminate ten years after its adoption, unless terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

In November 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2016 ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which reserves for issuance a total of 950,000 shares of common stock. The 2016 Plan contains terms and conditions substantially similar to the 2015 Plan. As of January 1, 2017, no shares of common stock were granted under the 2016 Plan.

A summary of stock option activity under the 2015 Plan as of January 1, 2017 is as follows:


		Weighted		Weighted Average
		Average Exercise		Remaining Contractual
	Shares	Price		Term (in years)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2016	759,050	$	1.51
Granted	190,950	$	2.50
Forfeited	(7,125)	$	1.51
Outstanding as of January 1, 2017	942,875	$	1.71	6.16
Vested and exercisable as of January 1, 2017	292,513	$	2.11	6.41
Vested and expected to vest as of January 1, 2017	848,906	$	1.73	6.17

Stock options granted during the six month period ending January 1, 2017 have contractual lives of seven years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended January 1, 2017 was $1.46 per share. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended January 1, 2017 was $0.7 million.

Determining Fair Value

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes method. The assumptions used to determine the value of the Company’s stock options granted to employees during the six month period ended January 1, 2017 were as follows:


Expected term	3.50		-	4.75	years
Expected volatility	78.8	%	-	85.0	%
Expected dividend yield	-	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.02	%	-	1.19	%

Expected Term – The expected term represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the simplified method, as permitted by the SEC, to calculate the expected term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected life in years. The simplified method is calculated as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

Expected Volatility – Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, which we believe will be indicative of future experience.

Expected Dividends – The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and currently does not intend to do so in the near term, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero.

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the expected term of the stock option granted.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended January 1, 2017 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of January 1, 2017, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years. The Company estimated expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation expense only for those option grants expected to vest. The Company’s estimate of forfeitures may be adjusted throughout the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are likely to differ, from the Company’s previous estimates. At the end of the service period compensation cost will have been recognized only for those awards for which the employee has provided the requisite service.

Table of Contents

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the Company’s employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"), eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions up to 5% of their base pay to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of each six-month purchase period. A total of 750,000 shares were authorized under the ESPP. The purchase period began on August 1, 2016; therefore, no shares have been purchased under the Company’s ESPP as of January 1, 2017.

NOTE 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases land, facilities, and equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements expiring through August 31, 2024, which contain various renewal options. The Company also leases equipment under non-cancellable capital lease agreements expiring through June 30, 2024. The capital leases have interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 15.6%.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business. As of January 1, 2017, the Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings, the resolution of which, management believes, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of key technologies, such as automation, robotics, production software, and 3D printing, in traditional manufacturing, thereby benefiting from the elimination of inefficiencies currently present in the global supply chain. Further, we seek to create innovative ways to streamline and improve the overall manufacturing process, including offering instant online quoting, in-house rapid and advanced conformal tooling, and a full suite of prototype-to-production capabilities.

More specifically, the two key pillars of our business strategy are centered on the following areas:

Holistic Manufacturing Solution. The metal and plastic fabrication industries are highly fragmented sectors with numerous single-solution providers. Given the inefficiencies associated with working with these disjointed groups, many manufacturers seek to improve their supplier base by working with more scaled, holistic providers. Our strategy is to facilitate the consolidation and streamlining of global supply chains by offering a holistic solution to our customers’ manufacturing needs. In particular, ARC provides a “one-stop shop” solution to our customers by offering a spectrum of highly advanced products, processes, and services, thereby delivering highly-engineered precision components at efficient production yields.

Accelerating Speed-to-Market. The traditional prototype-to-production process is often subject to lengthy bottlenecks and is characterized by inefficient price quoting delays, time-consuming tooling procedures, and outdated production methodologies. To differentiate itself from competitors, ARC focuses on reducing inefficiencies in the development cycle by offering the seamless integration of a wide-variety of proprietary technologies in order to dramatically reduce the time and cost associated with new product development. Specifically, the Company has developed rapid and instant online quoting solutions, rapid prototype solutions, short-run production services, in-house rapid and advanced conformal tooling, and rapid full production capabilities.

Separately, we believe that U.S. manufacturing is poised for a rejuvenation as global wage disparities mitigate and traditional labor-intensive processes are displaced by technology. We believe these macroeconomic trends may aid in the adoption of our business strategy.

Our key fundamental strengths are built upon core capabilities, including:

Metal Injection Molding. We are a large and well-respected MIM provider. As a pioneer of MIM technology, and driven by our material science understanding, powder metallurgy experience, and established global facilities, we are one of the most advanced MIM operators in the marketplace. ARC provides high-quality, complex, precise net-shape metal components to market-leading companies in numerous sectors, including the medical and dental, firearm and defense, automotive, aerospace, consumer durable, and electronic device industries. Further, our process is highly automated, utilizing advanced robotics and automation to ensure high levels of quality and efficiency.

3D Printing. We offer a variety of 3D printing solutions, with an emphasis on: (i) metal 3D printing; and (ii) rapid and advanced conformal tooling. In general, given promising signs of growth and related barriers to entry, we believe the metal 3D printing sector to be one of the more attractive segments of the overall Additive Manufacturing industry. Furthermore, metal 3D printing, while a complex technology still in its early stages, shares several fundamental similarities with our MIM business, thereby helping to accelerate our research and development. Separately, our metal 3D printing capabilities enable ARC to offer a variety of new services, including rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and short-run production, helping our customers improve their product speed-to-market. Given our established customer base, diverse metallurgy background, and scalable injection molding capabilities, we believe we are well-positioned in the industrial metal 3D printing market.

Additional Metal and Plastic Fabrication Capabilities. We offer a number of additional specialty metal and plastic fabrication capabilities that enable us to provide our customers with a full suite of custom-component products. Our specialty capabilities include precision stamping, magnesium injection molding, computer numerical control machining, plastic injection molding (including medical clean room applications), and fitting and flange manufacturing.

Wireless. Our wireless business designs and develops hardware, including antennas, radios, and related accessories, used in broadband and other wireless networks. Products are sold to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value-added resellers, and other original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). Further, we believe there is an opportunity to increase utilization of our wireless technology to wirelessly connect the manufacturing floor and industrial products/applications, as the world moves to a more wireless based framework.

Our overall growth strategy is centered on:

driving organic improvement through the expansion and cross-selling of our core services to existing clients;

accelerating the adoption of our technology by new customers in traditional manufacturing markets;

expanding our holistic service offerings through strategic vertical and horizontal acquisitions; and

improving financial and operational results from the implementation of operational best practices.

Accordingly, all of our business divisions are managed consistently with this strategy in order to drive organic sales growth and operational efficiencies, while improving quality, speed, and service to our customers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors including product mix, cost of labor and raw materials, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new products and services, new customer programs, and capacity utilization. In the case of new customer programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves as manufacturing volumes increase, which improves our utilization rates and overhead absorption. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $0.8 million and $0.1 million during the three and six month periods ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively. The increase in other income, net during the three month and six month periods ended January 1, 2017 was primarily due to a gain of $0.4 million related to a reduction in the Kecy escrow.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $1.0 million and $1.1 million during the three month periods ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively, and was $2.1 million and $2.3 million during the six month periods ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively. The decrease in interest expense, net during the three month and six month periods ended January 1, 2017 was primarily due to the refinancing of the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the retirement of debt resulting from proceeds from the sale of Tekna Seal, both in September 2016.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, approximately $0.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs were expensed as a result of the extinguishment of our First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Discontinued Operations

In September 2016, the Company sold its subsidiary Tekna Seal LLC pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement. The sale covered all of the membership interests of Tekna Seal, including 95.7% owned by the Company and 4.3% held by the Tekna Seal minority stakeholders. As a result of this transaction, income from continuing operations for the six months ended January 1, 2017 excludes the income from discontinued operations, before tax of $0.1 million and the gain on disposition of this business, after tax of $3.6 million.

Income Tax

Income tax expense from continuing operations was $30 thousand for the three month period ended January 1, 2017, as compared with an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three month period December 27, 2015. Income tax benefit from continuing operations was $1.3 million and $0.6 million for the six month periods ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

The primary reason for the income tax expense in the three month period ended January 1, 2017 was due to the amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets that were not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed a “naked credit”). The primary reason for the income tax benefit in the six month period ended January 1, 2017 was due to our net loss from continuing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 1, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million. We anticipate our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our operations for the next twelve months. In order to provide additional liquidity in the future and to help support our strategic goals, we have a senior secured revolving loan, with a current borrowing capacity of up to $25.0 million. After consideration of $3.8 million of borrowings outstanding, our remaining borrowing capacity was $21.2 million at January 1, 2017. Any additional borrowings under the senior secured revolving loan are subject to compliance with the terms of our Senior ABL Credit Facility.

Under the Senior ABL Credit Facility with Citizens Bank, N.A., we will not maintain any cash on hand in our domestic bank accounts by design. Instead, we maintain a $25.0 million asset based revolver loan as part of our loan agreement that includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding revolver loan balance for that day to fund our continuing operations. The reduction serves to decrease our daily interest expense to the extent cash is available and swept over to reduce the revolver loan. Disbursements are paid daily from cash being made available under our revolver loan based on a borrowing base calculation.

Table of Contents

Cash held in financial institutions outside the United States totaled $1.2 million and $1.6 million as of January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Our Hungarian subsidiary, where these funds are held, is taxed in a similar manner to our domestic subsidiaries. Thus, we would not incur a material tax obligation should we decide to repatriate these funds.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended January 1, 2017, as compared to $2.6 million of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 27, 2015, primarily due to the following:

A pre-tax gain of $5.4 million recognized on the sale of our subsidiary, the cash from which is recognized as an investing activity;

An increase in cash used for working capital of $1.4 million. Increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable were primarily due to higher sales volume. The decrease in deferred revenue of $0.6 million is due, in part, to an increase in tools being built for ownership by the Company. Partially offsetting the use of cash in working capital was a receipt of cash from income tax refunds of approximately $0.9 million, and

Reductions in cash from operating activities were partially offset by an increase in net income of $3.9 million.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities increased $8.9 million to $7.6 million for the six months ended January 1, 2017, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million for the six months ended December 27, 2015, primarily due to the following:

Proceeds received from the sale of our subsidiary of $10.5 million; and

Partially offset by an increase in cash used to purchase property and equipment of $1.6 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities increased $7.0 million to $9.3 million in the six months ended January 1, 2017, as compared to cash used of $2.2 million in the six months ended December 27, 2015, primarily due to the following:

Higher net principal payments on our long-term debt primarily due to cash received of $10.5 million from the sale of our subsidiary, which was applied against our debt, partially offset by borrowings; and

Purchase of the non-controlling membership interest in FloMet and payments for the non-controlling interest in connection with the sale of Tekna Seal totaling $0.6 million.

Debt and Credit Arrangements

For a discussion of our long-term debt, see Note 8, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 to this Report incorporated herein by reference thereto. See Note 7, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 for more information about our long-term debt.

Consolidated EBITDA excludes interest expense, net and income taxes because these items are associated with our capitalization and tax structures. Consolidated EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense because these non-cash expenses reflect the impact of prior capital expenditure decisions which may not be indicative of future capital expenditure requirements. Share-based compensation, transaction related costs, restructuring and severance expenses, and pro-forma EBITDA adjustment to exclude discontinued subsidiary are adjustments made in accordance with our bank debt covenants.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of January 1, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, including estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. Policies determined to be critical are those that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to permissive authority under Regulation S-K, Rule 305, we have omitted Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 1, 2017, at the reasonable assurance level due to weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We previously reported material weaknesses that were identified as of June 30, 2016. Our information technology and accounting infrastructure was inadequate, which could result in the failure to perform timely and effective reviews at a precision necessary to identify a material error.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To address the material weaknesses associated with our information technology and accounting infrastructure, remediation actions taken in fiscal year 2017 include:

Upgrade to the latest version of the enterprise resource planning system used at AFT; and

Strengthen the documentation of processes, procedures, and the review and approval of our financial activities at our smaller facilities.

Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2017, we implemented the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting to address the previously reported material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment:

We sold Tekna Seal, which was one of our smaller facilities.

We moved the accounting for GF&F to Kecy, which has a larger accounting staff with better segregation of duties.

We are improving the documentation of process and procedures at 3DMT and Thixoforming. We have also enhanced our process to review and approve the financial records of ARC Wireless.

We are implementing consolidation software during the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

The audit committee directed management to implement remediation measures and is monitoring their implementation. Certain remediation measures may extend into fiscal year 2018. In addition, under the direction of the audit committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Management believes the measures described above and other procedures that will be implemented will largely remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, the implementation of certain mitigating processes and procedures is dependent on certain factors, including, but not limited to, our financial performance. Management is committed to continuous improvement of our internal control processes and will continue to evaluate and work to improve internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended January 1, 2017, that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our control over financial reporting.
