1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair representation have been included.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the  Annual Report on Form 10-K of LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On July 9, 2015 the FASB voted to approve a one year delay of the effective date and to permit companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and will provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The provisions of this new guidance are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method to be used and the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale or is disposed of by other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff). ASU 2014-8 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Company has no present activity that would be impacted by this new standard.

All other issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

2. Accounts Receivable, Net

6

LMI Aerospace, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2015

Accounts receivable, net consists of the following:

	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Trade receivables	$	51,063		$	53,081
Unbilled revenue	7,992			4,036
Other receivables	2,281			1,581
	61,336			58,698
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts	(248		)	(464		)
Accounts receivable, net	$	61,088		$	58,234

Under contract accounting, unbilled revenues arise when the sales or revenues based on performance attainment, though appropriately recognized, cannot be billed yet under terms of the contract as of the balance sheet date. Included in unbilled revenue at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are $2,793 and $549, respectively, related to unpriced change orders or claims that are subject to negotiation. The final resolution of these unpriced items could result in either a favorable or unfavorable change in the revenue recognized to date on the associated contracts.

Accounts receivable expected to be collected after one year is not material.

The Company records changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Cumulative catch-up adjustments had the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Favorable adjustments	$	349		$	820		$	515		$	290
Unfavorable adjustments	(281		)	(234		)	(117		)	(228		)
Net favorable (unfavorable) operating income adjustments	$	68		$	586		$	398		$	62

3. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Raw materials	$	16,051	$	16,712
Work in progress	25,470		22,960
Manufactured and purchased components	21,475		21,296
Finished goods	30,350		32,403
Product inventory	93,346		93,371
Capitalized contract costs	29,850		20,908
Total inventories	$	123,196	$	114,279

Inventories include capitalized contract costs relating to programs and contracts with long-term production cycles.  The Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered over the life of the contracts. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized, when required, and reported as a reduction of related contract costs recorded in inventory and as additional cost of sales. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not engaged in any contracts that would require it to record a loss reserve.

June 30, 2015

In January 2015, the Company signed an agreement with a key customer to form a strategically aligned partnership. This agreement extended the performance period of the statements of work for certain contracts with the customer and gives the Company preferred supplier status on certain future contracts. In accordance with the contract terms, the Company made cash consideration payments$4,800 in January 2015 and $1,700 in June 2015. The payments were recorded as an increase to capitalized contract costs and are being amortized as a reduction to revenue over the life of the associated contracts.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The following table summarizes the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

							Engineering
	Aerostructures						Services						Total
	June 30,			December 31,			June 30,			December 31,			June 30,			December 31,
	2015			2014			2015			2014			2015			2014
Balance at:
Gross Goodwill	$	141,953		$	141,953		$	50,741		$	50,741		$	192,694		$	192,694
Accumulated impairment loss	(79,471		)	(79,471		)	(26,439		)	(26,439		)	(105,910		)	(105,910		)
Net Goodwill	$	62,482		$	62,482		$	24,302		$	24,302		$	86,784		$	86,784

A goodwill impairment charge of $26,439 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to the Engineering Services reporting unit. The impairment charge resulted from a persistent decline in revenues and profitability in 2014. In the first six months of 2015, the reporting unit generated positive cash flow and experienced improved operating results in each of the first two quarters of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, but still did not meet overall expectations in terms of revenues, profits or cash flow. On August 7, 2015, the Company committed to a restructuring plan that will result in the closing of its Melbourne, Australia and Greenville, South Carolina engineering offices in addition to the elimination of additional management positions within the Engineering Services reporting unit. See Note 13, Restructuring, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 8, "Financial Statements," for additional disclosure related to these items. If, despite these additional cost reduction efforts, the reporting unit's revenue and profitability were to continue to decline, it could lead to a triggering event and additional potential impairment for intangible assets and goodwill for the reporting unit in the future.

The carrying value of goodwill is assessed annually, during the fourth quarter, unless a triggering event occurs. Following an assessment an impairment charge is recorded if appropriate.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, no triggering event occurred that would cause the Company to assess the carrying value of goodwill.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks and customer intangibles.  The carrying values were as follows:

	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Trademarks	$	778		$	778
Customer intangible assets	68,991			68,991
Other	1,274			1,274
Accumulated amortization	(22,282		)	(20,103		)
Intangible assets, net	$	48,761		$	50,940

LMI Aerospace, Inc.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2015

Intangibles amortization expense was $1,089 and $1,131 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $2,180 and $2,262 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The accumulated amortization balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were $728 and $679 for trademarks, $20,766 and $18,716 for customer intangible assets, and $788 and $708 for other intangible assets.

Intangible assets related to the acquisition of Valent are amortized on the straight-line method as this approximates the pattern of economic benefit of each intangible asset.  All other remaining intangible assets are not material.

5. Other Assets

Other assets consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Debt issuance cost, net	$	7,831	$	8,600
Other	1,828		2,022
Total other assets	$	9,659	$	10,622

In connection with the financing of its long-term indebtedness, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $9,981. These costs are being amortized over the term of the indebtedness, which is five years.

6. Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Second priority senior secured notes at a fixed rate of 7.375% at June 30, 2015	$	245,000	$	245,000
Revolver under credit agreement, variable	6,500		—
Missouri IRBs at fixed rate of 2.80% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014	7,120		7,334
Capital leases, at fixed rates ranging from 2.04% to 7.73% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014	12,552		13,288
Notes payable, principal and interest payable monthly, at fixed rates up to 2.56% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively	3,137		3,356
Total debt	$	274,309	$	268,978
Less current installments	3,544		3,424
Total long-term debt and capital lease obligations	$	270,765	$	265,554

At June 30, 2015, the Company had $245,000 in outstanding second-priority senior secured notes maturing on June 19, 2019. Obligations under these notes are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and bear interest at 7.375%, paid semi-annually in January and July.

The Company's revolving credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $90,000.  Under the agreement, the co-collateral agents may establish a reserve against the facility. At June 30, 2015, the reserve established was $15,000, which reduced the maximum availability to $75,000. Based on the amount of eligible assets at June 30, 2015 and outstanding letters of credit of $1,025, available borrowings were further reduced to $55,970. The maximum amount, less reserves, available for borrowing at levels below $30,000 is based on a sum of 45% of eligible receivables, 30% of eligible inventories and an additional amount of eligible equipment up to 20% of total borrowings under the facility. The maximum amount, less reserves, available for borrowing at levels above $30,000 is based on a sum of 75% of eligible receivables, 45% of eligible inventories and an additional amount of eligible equipment up to 20% of total borrowings under the facility. Borrowings under the facility are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and bear interest at either the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50% or the alternate base rate, which is the highest of the following plus a margin of 2.00%

June 30, 2015

to 2.50%, respectively, with the applicable margins for the revolving credit facility subject to a grid based on the average availability ratio of the Company for the most recently completed quarter:

•Prime rate,

•Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or,

•The adjusted Eurodollar rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%.

For both the three and the six months ended June 30, 2015, the actual interest rate incurred for the revolving credit facility was 5.2% .

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.375% and 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, depending on the average revolver usage during the period as compared to the total available borrowings under the facility. At June 30, 2015, the commitment fee required was 0.5%.

The revolving credit loan facility matures on the earlier of the fifth year anniversary date of June 19, 2019 or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the senior secured notes unless the notes are repaid, refinanced or otherwise satisfied in full. The maturity dates are subject to acceleration upon occurrence of an event of default. An event of default under the revolving credit agreement includes, among other things, failure to pay any material indebtedness, acceleration of payments by any lender prior to scheduled maturity, or judgments rendered against the Company requiring payments at or above certain levels.

The credit agreement contains a covenant that requires us to comply with a maximum first priority debt to EBITDA ratio on a quarterly basis. In addition, the agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants that limit and in some circumstances prohibit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, sell, lease or transfer our assets, make investments, guarantee debt or obligations, create liens, and enter into certain merger, consolidation or other reorganization transactions.  These restrictive covenants prohibit the Company from paying dividends. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand any current or future downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise, any of which could place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt and are not subject to such restrictions.

At June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants and expected to be in compliance with its covenants in future periods.  If the Company fails to meet any covenants in the credit agreement, the Company would not be in compliance with its credit agreement and the lenders would be entitled to exercise various rights, including causing the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to become immediately due and payable.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

On June 19, 2014, the Company terminated and settled its interest rate derivatives in conjunction with the settlement of its then existing credit agreement, which had a variable interest rate. This settlement resulted in a charge of $793 to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Prior to this termination and in compliance with the credit agreement, the Company purchased option and swap derivative contracts to hedge against the potential impact on earnings from an increase in market interest rates associated with the interest payments on its variable rate term credit facility.  The objective of the hedge transactions was to reduce the variability of cash flows due to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on the term debt.  As the derivatives were settled prior to December 31, 2014, no assets or liabilities were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at either date presented.

The Company designated and accounted for these swaps and purchased options as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.  The Company reported the gain or loss, net of taxes, from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) deferring it and reclassifying it into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as the impact of the hedged transaction.  The cumulative amounts reported in AOCI related to these derivatives

were reclassified from AOCI to interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company did not use these derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The following amounts are included in OCI and earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Amount of (Gain) Loss Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion)	$	—	$	793	$	—	$	793

8. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of restricted stock, using the if-converted methods.  The following table shows a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

	Three months ended					Six months ended
	June 30,					June 30,
	2015		2014			2015			2014
Numerators
Net income (loss)	$	378	$	(7,411	)	$	(1,087	)	$	(7,853	)
Denominators
Weighted average common shares - basic	12,850,421		12,709,014			12,822,747			12,686,541
Dilutive effect of restricted stock	237,969		—			—			—
Weighted average common shares - diluted	13,088,390		12,709,014			12,822,747			12,686,541
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.03	$	(0.58	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.62	)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.03	$	(0.58	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.62	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, 241,098 shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, 157,392 and 200,889 shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These securities could be dilutive in future periods.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

On July 7, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the LMI Aerospace, Inc. 2005 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “ 2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provided for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based grants and cash bonus awards to employees and directors.  All share-based grants or awards were subject to a time-based vesting schedule.

All outstanding share-based grants are in the form of restricted stock. A summary of the activity for non-vested restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan is presented below:

Restricted Stock Awards	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2015	296,782		$	16.58
Granted	131,703		13.22
Vested	(86,130	)	17.40
Forfeited	(14,855	)	15.55
Outstanding at June 30, 2015	327,500		$	15.06

Common stock compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted under the 2005 Plan was $438 and $375 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $1,036 and $676 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested, share-based awards granted or awarded under the 2005 Plan were $2,659 and $2,036 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years and 1.2 years, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

On June 24, 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the LMI Aerospace, Inc. 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which became effective on July 1, 2015. As of July 7, 2015 the Company is no longer able to make awards under the 2005 Plan. Under the 2015 Plan, the Company, through the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, may, at its discretion, grant stock options, restricted shares of common stock, and other various stock-based awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants. Also under the 2015 Plan, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors has similar authority to grant awards to directors. A total of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

12. Income Taxes

The Company records income tax expense or benefit each quarter based on its estimated full-year effective tax rate. Income tax benefit of $149 and income tax expense of $160 were recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Income tax benefit of $1,787 and $1,803 were recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Income tax in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes $101 and $528, respectively, of adjustments related an audit by the IRS for the 2012 and 2013 tax years, which is now complete. The impact of these adjustments was offset by a current tax benefit of $87 and $205 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company's tax benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects a net tax benefit of $2,582 related to the decision to carry back the net operating loss recognized in 2013 offset by the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax benefits generated in the periods.

The Company continues to carry a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, which totaled $12,676 at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

13. Restructuring

The Company committed to and implemented various restructuring plans in 2014 and 2015. Included in those plans were the closure of the Precise Machine facility in Fort Worth, Texas, and the relocation of the machining operations in both Savannah, Georgia and St. Charles, Missouri to other facilities within the Company. Other employment separation activities were also implemented as part of the Company's overall reorganization and cost reduction initiatives. The expense associated with these plans was reflected in the selling, general, and administrative section on a separate line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The following table summarizes the incurred charges associated with these restructuring activities:

	June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014
Precise Machine facility closure	$	—	$	212	$	—	$	305
Savannah machining operations relocation	—		6		—		47
St. Charles machine parts operations relocation	28		—		199		—
Other employment separation activities	490		877		593		1,171
Total	$	518	$	1,095	$	792	$	1,523

The Savannah, Georgia and the Precise plans were completed in the second quarter of 2014. The St. Charles plan was completed in the second quarter of 2015.

Cash payments were made associated with these restructuring plans of $677 and $1,061 in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively and $1,004 and $1,182 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

The following table summarizes the incurred and expected charges associated with these restructuring activities:

Total	$	3,829	$	—	$	3,829

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company also incurred and recognized approximately $36 and $77 in other project costs, largely related to accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment at its St. Charles facility. These expenses are recognized in the cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following table summarizes restructuring activity related to the Precise Machine facility closure, the Savannah machining relocation, St. Charles facility closure and other employee separation activities:

	Employee
	Severance
Accrued restructuring balance as of December 31, 2014	$	739
Accrual additions	792
Cash payments	(1,004		)
Accrued restructuring balance as of June 30, 2015	$	527

Accrued restructuring of $527 at June 30, 2015 is expected to be paid over the next four quarters.

On August 7, 2015, the Company committed to a restructuring plan in its Aerostructures segment that will result in closure of its Coweta, Oklahoma manufacturing facility. On the same date, the Company's Engineering Services segment committed to closing its Melbourne, Australia and Greenville, South Carolina engineering offices in addition to the elimination of additional management positions. Both segments anticipate the closures to be complete by the end of 2015. The statements of work in addition to necessary equipment and assets used in the machining operations at Coweta will be relocated to other facilities. Implementation of these plans is expected to result in restructuring charges of $1,500 to $2,500 and is expected to generate annual savings of $3,500 to $4,000.

14. Legal Contingencies

The Company has been named as a defendant in certain pending lawsuits in the normal course of business (collectively, the “Pending Lawsuits”).  It is the policy of management to disclose the amount or range of reasonably possible losses.  In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any losses resulting from Pending Lawsuits should not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. The Company is also the subject of other proceedings as further described below.

In August 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the U.S. Dept. of Justice (“DoJ”) commenced an investigation into allegations of low pH wastewater releases claimed to have occurred between 2009 and 2013 at Ozark

June 30, 2015

Mountain Technologies ("OMT"), a subsidiary of LMI, (the “Waste Water Allegations”). In response to the EPA/DoJ investigation and to ensure OMT’s full compliance with both environmental and health and safety regulations, the Company initiated a voluntary, comprehensive internal audit of the facility, which was completed in October 2013 (the “OMT Audit”). The OMT Audit uncovered other possible instances of environmental non-compliance, which the Company voluntarily reported (the “Voluntarily Disclosed Matters”) to the EPA on December 3, 2013, as part of the EPA’s Audit Policy. The Company concurrently disclosed these matters to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (“MDNR”). On April 24, 2015, the Company settled the Waste Water Allegations pursuant to a settlement agreement with DoJ (“Plea Agreement”). Per the terms of the Plea Agreement, OMT plead guilty to one count of negligently violating the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and agreed to a fine of $694.  Payment of this fine was made in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The amount of this payment is consistent with the previously established loss contingency as disclosed in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.  In connection with the Plea Agreement, DoJ agreed that no further federal criminal or civil prosecution will be brought against OMT relative to the Voluntarily Disclosed Matters.

In November, 2013, the Attorney General of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri AG”) contacted LMI regarding alleged violations of certain state environmental regulations involving the discharge of pollutants and water contaminants claimed to have occurred in 2011 by OMT (the “Missouri AG Matter”).  On February 25, 2015, the Missouri AG filed a Petition against OMT alleging pollution of state waters, violation of pretreatment regulations and violation of water quality standards.  In the quarter ended June 30, 2015, OMT settled the Missouri AG Matter and agreed to a civil penalties of $175. Payment of these penalties were made in July of 2015. The amount of this payment is consistent with the previously established loss contingency as disclosed in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings. 

OMT became a subsidiary of LMI as a result of LMI’s acquisition of Valent Aerostructures, LLC (“Valent”) in December 2012. The Company believes certain environmental representations set forth in the purchase agreement pursuant to which Valent acquired OMT; and the purchase agreement pursuant to which LMI acquired Valent, provide the Company with certain rights of indemnification with respect to the matters disclosed herein. The Company also has insurance policies that it believes are applicable to certain of the various environmental issues at Valent and its subsidiaries, including OMT, and breaches by Valent and OMT of their respective environmental representations and warranties in each of the purchase agreements. As a result, the Company believes its rights of indemnification and insurance coverage may provide for a recovery of some or all of the costs associated with the matters disclosed herein. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we will ultimately prevail in any claim for indemnification or secure any insurance proceeds from our insurance policies.

In December 2014, two of the former members of Valent, Tech Investments, LLC  and Tech Investments II, LLC, which collectively own approximately 5.5% of the Company’s common stock, filed suit in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County against the Company seeking declaratory judgment (a) declaring that the Company is not entitled to indemnification on certain claims asserted against the former members of Valent, (b) ordering the release of the remaining escrow funds associated with the Company’s purchase of Valent, and (c) ordering that the Company is not entitled to exercise a right of redemption on 360,301 shares of the Company’s stock, currently held under a Lock Up Agreement pending resolution of the indemnification claims (the “Tech Lawsuit”).  In February 2015, the Company filed its response moving to dismiss the Tech Lawsuit on the grounds that the declaratory judgment is not proper in this matter. On March 24, 2015, the Company’s motion was denied.  On April 23, 2015, the Company filed its answer and counterclaims in the Tech Lawsuit, asserting its rights to indemnification. In the opinion of management, the losses, if any, resulting from the Tech Lawsuit should not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

15. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

LMI Aerospace, Inc. excluding its subsidiaries (“LMIA”) is the parent company, issuer and obligor of the second-priority senior notes due June 19, 2019 (the “Notes”). The payment obligations of LMIA under the Notes are guaranteed and secured by LMIA and all of its subsidiaries other than immaterial subsidiaries as further described below.

These Notes are guaranteed on a second-priority senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by LMIA (“Guarantor Parent”) and all of its existing and future 100% owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) other than immaterial subsidiaries. Such guaranties are full and unconditional. LMIA conducts substantially all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, its ability to make required principal and interest payments with respect to its indebtedness depends on the earnings of subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

June 30, 2015

The Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of LMIA’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The liens securing the notes are contractually subordinated to the liens that secure indebtedness under the revolving credit facility as a result of the lien subordination provisions of the intercreditor agreement to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness as well as being subordinated by other existing indebtedness, including industrial revenue bonds, capital leases and other notes payable, to the extent of the value of the collateral that secures such existing indebtedness. As a consequence of this lien subordination and existing indebtedness the Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the extent of the value of the collateral that secures them. Decisions regarding the maintenance and release of the collateral secured by the collateral agreement are made by the lenders under the modified revolving credit facility, and neither the indenture trustee nor the holders of the Notes have control of decisions regarding the release of collateral.

We have not presented separate financial statements and separate disclosures have not been provided concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the presentation of condensed consolidating financial information set forth in this Note, consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) interpretations governing reporting of subsidiary financial information.

Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and inter-company balances and transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking statements in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs about future events and financial performance.  When used in this report, the words “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “goal,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will” or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results.  Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those referred to under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) and otherwise described in the Company’s periodic filings and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.  In addition, actual results could differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to

25

publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Investors should, however, review additional disclosures made by the Company from time to time in its periodic filings with the SEC.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read completely, in conjunction with our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and with the understanding that the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from what the Company expects.  All forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC are qualified by these cautionary statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions.  (See Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

The Company believes that certain significant accounting estimates have the potential to have a more significant impact on the financial statements either because of the significance of the financial statements to which they relate or because they involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.  A summary of such critical accounting estimates can be found in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the  2014 Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a leading supplier of structural assemblies, kits and components and design engineering services to the aerospace and defense markets.  We primarily sell our products and services to the large commercial, corporate and regional, and military aircraft markets.    We believe that OEMs and Tier 1 aerospace companies will continue the trend of selecting their suppliers based upon the breadth of more complex and sophisticated design and manufacturing capabilities and value-added services and the ability of their suppliers to manage large production programs.

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: the Aerostructures segment and the Engineering Services segment.  Through its Aerostructures segment, the Company primarily fabricates, machines, finishes, integrates, assembles and kits formed close tolerance aluminum, specialty alloy and composite components and higher level assemblies for use by the aerospace and defense industries. It manufactures more than 40,000 products for integration into a variety of aircraft platforms manufactured by leading original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers. Through its Engineering Services segment, the Company provides a complete range of design, engineering and program management services, supporting aircraft product lifecycles from conceptual design, analysis and certification through production support, fleet support and service life extensions via a complete turnkey engineering solution.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to three months ended June 30, 2014

Consolidated Operations

Cost of goods sold for the Aerostructures segment consists primarily of direct labor, materials, subcontract costs and manufacturing overhead, including indirect labor costs, depreciation, rent, supplies and other indirect costs.  Cost of goods for the Engineering Services segment consists primarily of direct labor, subcontract costs and overhead, including rent, maintenance, and indirect costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for both segments consist primarily of labor, rent, depreciation and amortization, professional services and other administrative expenses.

The following table is a summary of the Company's operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Aerostructures Segment

Net Sales.  Net sales were $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 3.6% decrease from $88.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.  The following table specifies the amount of the Aerostructures segment’s net sales by category for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales for each period represented by each category:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
Category	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total
	($ in millions)
Large commercial aircraft	$	45.4	53.2	%	$	42.9	48.5	%
Corporate and regional aircraft	21.3		25.0	%	27.2		30.7	%
Military	11.6		13.6	%	11.7		13.2	%
Other	7.0		8.2	%	6.7		7.6	%
Total	$	85.3	100.0	%	$	88.5	100.0	%

Net sales of large commercial aircraft products increased 5.8% in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014. The most significant increase in revenue in the category was attributable to increased content and higher production rates on the Boeing 787 platform, which generated $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. We expect the Boeing 787 platform to generate similar levels of revenue throughout 2015. In addition, sales on Boeing 737 and 747 platforms increased $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively to $25.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 from $25.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the sale of wing modification products which generated revenue of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Net sales of components for corporate and regional aircraft decreased 21.7% during the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease of $5.7 million in tooling sales on the Gulfstream G500 program in the second quarter of 2014 that did not recur in 2015.

Net sales of military products decreased 0.9% during the second quarter of 2015.  The decrease is primarily due to reductions in revenues on the Boeing Apache and C-17 programs of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. Revenues related to the Black Hawk helicopter also decreased from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue

27

on the Lockheed Martin F-35 program of $0.6 million, from $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2015 was $68.2 million compared to $72.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2015 was favorably impacted by cost reduction initiatives implemented throughout the last twelve months. Cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2014 was unfavorably impacted by product mix, as tooling revenue comprised $6.7 million in sales for the quarter with a realized gross profit margin of 6%.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $17.1 million (20.0% of net sales) compared to $15.9 million (18.0% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2014. Sales on long-term production contracts, which were at higher margins when compared to those recognized in the second quarter of 2014, contributed to the improvement in gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2015. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2015 was favorably impacted by realized cost savings related to restructuring plans implemented during 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.0 million (12.9% of net sales) for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $12.7 million (14.4% of net sales) for the second quarter of 2014.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to decreases of $0.5 million in restructuring expenses, $0.5 million in environmental expenses and $0.4 million in salary and related fringe benefits.

Engineering Services Segment

Net Sales.  The Engineering Services segment generates revenue primarily through the billing of employee time spent on customer projects.  Net sales for the Engineering Services segment were $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 29.8%.  The following table specifies the amount of the Engineering Services segment’s net sales by category for the second quarter in each of 2015 and 2014 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales represented by each category.

	Three Months Ended June 30,
Category	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total

Net sales of services for large commercial aircraft were $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, down 40.7% from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in this category was primarily attributable to a decline in sales on the Airbus 350 platform, which contributed $1.6 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2014 and no revenue in the second quarter of 2015, as the project is complete. In addition, maintenance and repair revenues and sales on the Boeing 787 program declined $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to $3.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $4.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014.

Net sales of services related to corporate and regional aircraft were $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 9.8%.  The decrease in revenue was primarily related to the Bombardier Learjet L-85 program, which contributed $3.7 million in revenue that was canceled late 2014. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $1.5 million on the Bombardier Global 7000 program, $0.6 million on the Aerion AS2 program and $0.4 million on the Mitsubishi Regional Jet program.

Net sales of services for military programs were $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, up 19.0% from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2014.  This increase was primarily attributable to sales on the Boeing F/A 18 program of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Net sales related to design and delivery of tooling on various programs supporting commercial aircraft were $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, down 85.0%, from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. Tooling sales on various Boeing programs

28

in addition to a sales on a space program decreased $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2015 was $10.8 million compared to $14.6 million for the second quarter of 2014.  The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to reductions in direct labor, which is the result of lower demand for this segment.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.7 million (13.6% of net sales) compared to $3.2 million (18.0% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2014.  The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the decline in sales and unfavorable sales mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $1.9 million, or 15.4% of net sales, compared to $2.2 million, or 12.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to implemented cost reductions.

Non-segment Expenses

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2014.  The second quarter of 2014 included a $9.1 million write-off of debt financing cost related to the termination of the Company's long-term credit agreement and the modification of its revolving credit agreement. In addition, interest expense related to outstanding borrowings has increased in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to increased average interest rates. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company's primary borrowing source was senior notes accruing interest at 7.375%. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company's primary borrowing source was a term loan accruing interest at 4.75%.

Income Tax Expense.  During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million compared to a $1.8 million benefit in the second quarter of 2014.  The Company's tax benefit in the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflects a tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million associated with the decision to carry back the net operating loss recognized in 2013, offset by the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax benefits generated in the period.

The Company's tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflects the recognition of a $0.1 million adjustment resulting from an audit of the Company's 2012 and 2013 tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service. This adjustment resulted from timing differences where the Company took deductions earlier than statutes would allow. This adjustment will be recovered in the future. However, due to the fact that the Company is in a full valuation allowance, the adjustment is reflected as an unfavorable charge to net income, as a valuation reserve is offsetting the deferred tax item.

Aerostructures Segment

Net Sales.  Net sales were $164.5 million for the first six months of 2015, a 1.0%decrease from $166.2 million in the first six months of 2014.  The following table specifies the amount of the Aerostructures segment’s net sales by category for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales for each period represented by each category:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Category	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total
	($ in millions)
Large commercial aircraft	$	87.6	53.3	%	$	81.4	49.0	%
Corporate and regional aircraft	41.8		25.4	%	48.3		29.1	%

Other	13.2		8.0	%	12.7		7.6	%
Total	$	164.5	100.0	%	$	166.2	100.0	%

Net sales of large commercial aircraft products increased7.6% in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the first six months of 2014. The most significant increase in revenue in the category was attributable to increased content and higher production rates on the Boeing 787 platform, which generated $13.8 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $7.5 million in the first six months of 2014. We expect the Boeing 787 platform to generate similar levels of revenue throughout 2015. In addition, sales on Boeing 737 and 747 platforms increased $2.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively to $50.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively in the first six months of 2015 from $47.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2014. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the sale of wing modification products which generated revenue of $3.2 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $7.0 million in the first six months of 2014.

Net sales of components for corporate and regional aircraft decreased13.5% during the first six months of 2015. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease of $5.7 million in tooling sales on the Gulfstream G500 program in the second quarter of 2014 that did not recur in 2015.

Net sales of military products decreased8.0% during the first six months of 2015.  The decrease is primarily due to reductions in revenues on the Boeing C-17, Embraer KC-390 and Boeing V-22 programs of $1.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the first six months of 2014. Revenues related to the Black Hawk helicopter also decreased from $10.5 million in the first six months of 2014 to $9.8 million in the first six months of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales on the Lockheed Martin F-35 program of $1.1 million, from $0.9 million in the first six month of 2014 to $2.0 million in the first six months of 2015.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2015 was $131.7 million compared to $136.1 million for the first six months of 2014. Cost of goods sold in 2015 was favorably impacted by cost reduction initiatives implemented throughout the last eighteen months. Cost of goods sold in the first six months of 2014 was unfavorably impacted by one-time costs incurred during the closure of the Precise Machine facility and relocation of Savannah machining operations in addition to unfavorable product mix relative to higher levels of tooling revenue.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $32.9 million (20.0% of net sales) compared to $30.1 million (18.1% of net sales) in the first six months of 2014. Higher production levels, improved performance on long-term contracts and other favorable product mix contributed to the improvement in gross profit margin in the first six months of 2015. Gross profit in the first six months of 2015 was favorably impacted by realized cost savings related to restructuring plans implemented during 2014 in addition to the non-recurrence of cost to implement those plans that was recognized in the first six months of 2014.

30

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.6 million (13.1% of net sales) for the first six months of 2015 compared to $24.1 million (14.5% of net sales) for the first six months of 2014.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to decreases of $0.9 million in professional services, $0.7 million in restructuring expense, $0.5 million in salaries and related fringes and $0.5 million in environmental expenses.

Engineering Services Segment

Net Sales.  The Engineering Services segment generates revenue primarily through the billing of employee time spent on customer projects.  Net sales for the Engineering Services segment were $26.0 million for the first six months of 2015 as compared to $36.5 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of 28.8%.  The following table specifies the amount of the Engineering Services segment’s net sales by category for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales represented by each category.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Category	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total
	($ in millions)
Large commercial aircraft	$	10.3	39.6	%	$	18.5	50.7	%

Other	0.8		3.1	%	5.0		13.7	%
Total	$	26.0	100.0	%	$	36.5	100.0	%

Net sales of services for large commercial aircraft were $10.3 million in the first six months of 2015, down44.3% from $18.5 million in the first six months of 2014. The decrease in this category was primarily attributable to a decline in sales related to the Airbus 350 platform which decreased from $4.0 million in the first six months of 2014 to $0.2 million in the first six months of 2015. In addition, sales on the Boeing 787 program and maintenance and repair revenues declined $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, to $0.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2015 compared to $0.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively in the first six months of 2014. Sales related to the Goodrich Nacelle program also contributed to the decline in this market, which contributed $0.0 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $1.4 million in the first six months of 2014.

Net sales of services related to corporate and regional aircraft were $9.8 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $8.5 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of 15.3%.  The increase in sales is primarily related to the Bombardier Global 7000 program, which contributed $5.1 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $1.1 million in the first six months of 2014. In addition, sales increased on the Aerion AS2 and Mitsubishi Regional Jet program by $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2014 to $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2015. These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in sales on the Bombardier Learjet L-85 program that was canceled in late 2014.

Net sales of services for military programs were $5.1 million in the first six months of 2015, up13.3% from $4.5 million in the first six months of 2014.  This increase was primarily attributable to sales on the Boeing F/A 18 program of $3.8 million in the first six months of 2015, compared to $2.8 million in the first six months of 2014. This increase was partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction on the Embraer KC-390 program as the program design phase is nearing completion.

Net sales related to design and delivery of tooling on various commercial aircraft programs were $0.8 million for the first six months of 2015, down84.0%, from $5.0 million in the first six months of 2014. Tooling sales on various Boeing programs and sales on a space program decreased $2.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the first six months of 2014.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2015 was $22.9 million compared to $30.1 million for the first six months of 2014.  The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to reductions in direct labor, which is the result of lower demand for this segment.

31

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $3.1 million (11.8% of net sales) compared to $6.4 million (17.5% of net sales) in the first six months of 2014.  The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the decline in sales and fixed cost utilization.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2015 were $4.1 million, or 15.7% of net sales, compared to $4.6 million, or 12.6% of net sales, for the first six months of 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to implemented cost reductions.

Non-segment Expenses

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $11.1 million for the first six months of 2015 and $17.9 million for the first six months of 2014.  The first six months of 2014 included a $9.1 million write-off of debt financing cost related to the termination of the Company's long-term credit agreement and the modification of its revolving credit agreement. In addition, interest expense related to outstanding borrowings has increased in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the first six months of 2014 due to increased average interest rates. During the first six months of 2015, the Company's primary indebtedness was senior notes accruing interest at 7.375%. During the first six months of 2014, the Company's primary indebtedness was a term loan accruing interest at 4.75%.

Income Tax Expense.  During the first six months of 2015, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million compared to a $1.8 million income tax benefit in the first six months of 2014.  The Company's tax benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects a tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million associated with the decision to carry back the net operating loss recognized in 2013, offset by the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax benefits generated in the period.

The Company's tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflects the recognition of a $0.5 million adjustment resulting from an audit of the Company's 2012 and 2013 tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service. This adjustment resulted from timing differences where the Company took deductions earlier than statutes would allow. This adjustment will be recovered in the future. However, due to the fact that the Company is in a full valuation allowance, the adjustment is reflected as an unfavorable charge to net income, as a valuation reserve is offsetting the deferred tax item.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

When viewed with the financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting past performance and future prospects. The Company defines these measures, explains how they are calculated and provides reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the tables below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this Form 10-Q, are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.  They are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of liquidity.  The presentation of these measures should not be interpreted to mean that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP operating performance measures internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of the business.  The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to its ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.  Some of these limitations are:

• They do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, future expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

• They do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;

32

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the statement of cash flows;

• They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to ongoing operations; and

• Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of the business or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet the Company’s obligations.  Furthermore, the definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculated here are different than those contained in the Company’s credit agreement.  You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementary.

However, in spite of the above stated limitations, the Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to an investor in evaluating the results of operations because these measures:

• Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;

• Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of operations from period to period by removing the effect of the capital structure from operating performance; and

• Are used by the management team for various other purposes in presentations to the Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes acquisition and integration charges, as applicable, and provides meaningful information about the operating performance of the businesses apart from other non cash and non-recurring expenses, as well as interest and tax expense.

The following financial items have been added back to net income when calculating EBITDA:

• Interest expense;

• Income tax expense;

• Depreciation; and

• Amortization.

The following additional financial items have been added back to net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:

• Stock-based compensation;

• Integration–related expenses;

• Restructuring expenses;

• Other (net).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2015, the Company's primary source of outstanding indebtedness was second priority senior secured notes that mature in June of 2019. These notes accrue interest at 7.375% and require semi-annual interest payments. The Company's believes that the borrowings under these notes, in addition to available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, will provide the financial flexibility necessary to achieve its long-range strategic goals. For more information on the Company's debt structure, please see Note 6 - Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the first six months of 2015, operating activities provided $0.9 million in cash, compared to $14.9 million in the first six months of 2014.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2015 was unfavorably impacted by a $6.5 million payment of cash consideration to a key customer pursuant to a strategic partnership agreement. In exchange for this payment, the performance period of the statements of work for certain contracts with this customer was extended and the Company was granted preferred supplier status on certain future contracts. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made the first semi-annual interest payment of $10.3 million associated with its outstanding notes. Operating cash flow in the first six months of 2014 was favorably impacted by collection of a $13.5 million milestone payment on the KC-390 program in addition to a decrease in inventory of $4.3 million primarily related to a reduction in overall inventory spend.

Net cash used for investing activities was $11.5 million for the first six months of 2015, compared to $6.8 million for the first six months of 2014. Capital spending in the first six months of 2015 primarily related to the purchase of machinery and equipment to support production contracts in addition to the purchase of equipment primarily for environmental compliance at our Cuba, Missouri plant. Cash used in the first six months of 2014 included $3.0 million on machinery and equipment in support of new production contracts.

34

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company funded operating and investing activities through net borrowings on its revolving credit facility of $6.5 million in addition to making principal payments on long-term debt of $1.2 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company used net free cash flow of $8.1 million to decrease outstanding borrowings by $1.2 million and fund the payment of $6.7 million in debt financing costs related to the issuance of $250.0 million in notes and the modification of its revolving credit facility.

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, evaluates strategies to enhance our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. These strategies may include acquisitions, divestitures, opportunities to reduce costs or increase revenues, and other strategic initiatives to increase stockholder value. We are unable to predict which, if any, of these initiatives will be executed. The execution of these initiatives may have a material impact on our future results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
