The Company has occasionally maintained balances in its bank accounts that were in excess of the FDIC limit.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

AIM has several sole-source suppliers of various parts that are used in one or more of its products. If any of these sole source suppliers were to go out of business or be unable to provide it parts for any reason, AIM would be required to develop new suppliers or to re-engineer its products, or both, which could delay shipment of products and have a material adverse effect on its operating results.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

	March 31, 2013		March 31, 2012
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earning per share		5,711,093		3,579,114
Effect of dilutive stock options and warrants		98,479		-
Weighted average shares outstanding and dilutive securities used to compute dilutive earnings per share		5,809,572		3,579,114

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	March 31,		March 31,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Stock Options		12,548		306,336
Warrants		250		250
		12,798		306,586

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation." Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Stock-based compensation amounted to $0 and $22,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and was included in operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $453,000 relates to the acquisition of Welding  ($291,000) and NTW Acquisition ($162,000). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances change that will more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  

The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-01, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-01).   ASU 2013-01 requires the disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain account balances in 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
