Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 30, 2012

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business
 
Quadrant Metals Technology, LLC ("referred to herein as "QMT" or "the Predecessor") was formed in March 2011, to function as a holding company for a group of diversified manufacturing and distribution companies. Upon formation, QMT acquired controlling interests in TeknaSeal LLC ("TeknaSeal") as of May 1, 2011 and in FloMet LLC ("Flomet") as of June 30, 2011. In addition, QMT acquired General Flange & Forge ("GF&F") as of April 18, 2011 and has held controlling interests in GF&F since that date. Furthermore, TubeFit LLC ("TubeFit") was formed on November 1, 2011 and QMT has held controlling interests in TubeFit since that date. While QMT was formed in 2011 as a holding company, affiliated companies have held controlling interests in FloMet and TeknaSeal for over 10 years.
 
Advanced Forming Technology, Inc. ("AFT") is comprised of two operating units, AFT-US and AFT Hungary. AFT-US was founded in 1987. From 1991 until its acquisition by ARC, AFT was operated as a division of Precision Castparts Corporation, a publicly traded company.
 
ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (referred to herein as the "Company" or "ARC") was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1987.

Completion of Acquisitions

On August 8, 2012, ARC completed the acquisition of QMT and AFT (referred to herein as the “QMT Acquisition” and the “AFT Acquisition”). The QMT Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under generally accepted accounting principles, whereby QMT was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition. The financial statements for periods prior to August 8, 2012 reflect only the operations of QMT.  ARC’s historical accumulated deficit for periods prior to August 8, 2012, in the amount of $10.2 million was eliminated against additional paid in capital, and the accompanying financial statements present the previously issued shares of ARC common stock as having been issued pursuant to the merger on August 8, 2012. The shares of common stock issued to QMT pursuant to the merger are presented as having been outstanding for since July 1, 2011. All transactions between divisions and/or wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company or the Predecessor Company have been eliminated in the financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of ARC, QMT and AFT for periods subsequent to the acquisition; for periods prior to the acquisition the results of operations are presented only for QMT.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2012, the results of its operation and its cash flows for the three months and six months then ended. For further information, refer to the predecessor financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on September 28, 2012, for the year ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

Prior to the date of the acquisitions noted above, the Predecessor Company operated in two business segments, identified as the Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet and TeknaSeal, and the Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit. After completion of the acquisitions mentioned above, ARC operates three business segments: the Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary, and TeknaSeal; the Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit; and the Wireless Group, consisting of ARC Wireless LLC and ARC Wireless Ltd.

Operating results for the six months ended December 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
 
Significant Business Acquisitions
 
The purchase price was allocated based on the information currently available, and may be adjusted after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions of preliminary estimates.  The Company is still obtaining the information regarding intangibles which may result in adjustments to the carrying amounts of intangibles and goodwill within the measurement period once the information is obtained.  The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Reasons for the acquisitions at the agreed upon purchase price include synergies between the businesses, including cross fertilization of product/customer applications, expanded R&D capabilities, and operational synergies, among others. It is also believed that the acquisitions will help generate further scale and lead to enhanced revenue and earnings growth. The combination of two of the largest recognized leaders in the metal injection molding (“MIM”) industry will provide distinct scale advantages creating substantial barriers to entry for other companies and providing ARC with long-term strategic positioning as the clear market leader in the MIM industry.
 
Pro forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
 
The historical operating results of ARC and AFT have not been included in the Company's historical consolidated operating results prior to their acquisition dates. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations for the three and six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 as if the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any material adjustments, operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from the consolidation of operations but do reflect certain adjustments expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

Significant Business Acquisitions (continued)
 
QMT acquired a 90% ownership of GF&F on March 1, 2011 with an initial cash investment in GF&F of $2.3 million. GF&F began business on March 1, 2011. With the initial cash investments of its shareholders and a bank loan, GF&F purchased assets and assumed liabilities of General Flange & Forge Corporation for $5.507 million on April 18, 2011. The allocation of the purchase price of General Flange & Forge, Inc. is as follows (in thousands):

(165
)
 
GF&F distributes imported and domestic flanges in carbon steel, stainless steel and alloys. All activity from the date of the acquisition of GF&F has been reflected in the consolidated statement of income.
 
QMT acquired an 85.03% ownership of TeknaSeal on May 1, 2011 by exchanging membership units of Quadrant Metals Technologies LLC for membership units of TeknaSeal that were originally owned by the members of QMT. The investment in TeknaSeal has been recorded on the books of QMT at the TeknaSeal book value. TeknaSeal manufactures hermetic glass-to-metal components to meet customer specifications. The annual activity of TeknaSeal in 2011 is reported in the consolidated statement of income as it was under common control for all of fiscal 2011. 
 
QMT acquired an 84.99% ownership of FloMet on June 30, 2011 by exchanging membership units of QMT for membership units of FloMet that were originally owned by the members of QMT. The investment in FloMet has been recorded on the books of QMT at the FloMet book value. FloMet manufactures component parts from metal powder, primarily stainless steel base, to customer specifications. The annual activity of FloMet in 2011 is reported in the consolidated financial statements as it was under common control for all of fiscal 2011.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash in the bank may exceed FDIC insurable limits.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is sufficient to cover both current and anticipated future losses. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. Management estimates this amount based upon prior experience with customers and an analysis of individual trade accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts of $139 thousand and $125 thousand has been reserved as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company offers most customers between net 30 and 45-day terms. In special situations, the Company may offer extended terms or discounts to selected customers. Accounts are considered past due if a payment is not received within credit terms.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Inventories
 
The Company values inventories at the lower of average cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. It is the Company’s practice to provide a valuation allowance for inventories to account for potential market pricing deflation and inventory shrinkage.  Management actively reviews this inventory to determine that all materials are for products still in production to determine any potential obsolescence issues.  An allowance for inventory obsolescence of $228 thousand and $45 thousand has been reserved as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
 
Plant and Equipment
 
Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
 
Useful Life
Building and Improvements
7 to 40 years
Machinery and Equipment
3 to 12 years
 
Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation expense totaled $.8 million and $.2 million for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively and $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.
 
Long-lived Assets

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed annually; if at any time the facts or circumstances at any of our individual subsidiaries indicate impairment of long-lived asset values, as a result of a continual decline in performance, or as a result of fundamental changes in a subsidiary's market conditions, a determination is made as to whether the carrying value of the property's long-lived assets exceeds estimated realizable value. Long-lived assets consist primarily of Property and Equipment. No impairment was determined as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles
 
Goodwill is recognized as a result of a business combination when the price paid for the acquired business exceeds the fair value of its identified net assets. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized at their fair value when acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment.
 
The Predecessor Company identified no material separately identifiable intangible assets in 2011 as a result of its acquisitions.
 
The Company has evaluated its goodwill and intangibles, that were acquired in prior periods, for impairment and has determined that goodwill and intangibles were not impaired.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Goodwill and Intangibles (continued)
 
Acquisitions during fiscal year 2012 and 2013 resulted in an increase in goodwill and intangibles of approximately $129 thousand and $11.8 million, respectively.  The carrying amounts of these assets are as follows (in thousands):

   
December 30,
   
June 30,
 
   
2012
   
2012
 
Precision Components
  $ 16,880     $ 5,123  
Flanges and Fitting
    1,841       1,841  
Wireless
    111        
Total
  $ 18,832     $ 6,964  
 
The Company is obtaining information needed in connection with the business combination that may result in material adjustments within the measurement period to the carrying amounts of intangibles and goodwill. The Company expects to engage an independent third party valuation consultant to assist the Company to ascertain the value of such intangibles and to assist the Company to assign the useful life over which amortization will occur.   
 
Deferred Income
 
Unearned income consists of customer deposits for the development of molds used in the manufacturing process. As of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 unearned income was $656 thousand  and $132 thousand respectively. The Company recognizes revenue and the related expenses when the customer approves the mold for production. Accordingly, as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company and Predecessor has incurred costs of $745 thousand and $101 thousand, respectively, related to molds in the process of being developed which have been deferred and are included  as part of the total current assets on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of sales tax, trade discounts and customer returns.
 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Company and the Predecessor has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (2) the Company and the Predecessor retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; (3) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (4) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and (5) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The majority of these expenditures consist of salaries for engineering and manufacturing personnel and fees paid to consultants for services rendered. For the three months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company incurred $196 thousand and $197 thousand, respectively, and for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company incurred $397 thousand and $435 thousand, respectively, for research and development, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of income.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, and notes and accounts payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.
 
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 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.
 
ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the six months ended December 30, 2012 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized at December 30, 2012. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

As a limited liability company, the Predecessor’s taxable income or loss was allocated to the members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership.  Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements prior to August 8, 2012.
 
The tax returns for the years ending June 30, 2010 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.
 
Presentation of Certain Taxes
 
The Company collects various taxes from customers and remits these amounts to applicable taxing authorities. The Company's accounting policy is to exclude these taxes from revenues and cost of sales.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Total advertising costs for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was approximately $9 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively and for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was approximately $37 thousand and $43 thousand, respectively.

NOTE B – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.
 
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC No. 220, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The Company can elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued another update on the topic, which deferred the effective date pertaining only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued amendments to the goodwill impairment guidance which provides an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted). The implementation of the amended accounting guidance has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.
 
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company for our annual impairment test for fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE B – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
 
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations

NOTE E – LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)
 
An economic hedging instrument was required through the Bank to synthetically convert the floating rate to an indicative fixed rate on 50% of the notional amounts of Term Loan A and Term Loan B for a term of five years.  Fixed rate through a derivative swap was locked in at the time the Swap is executed; the swap is discussed in Note F.
 
Certain loans are subject to financial and non-financial covenants established by the bank; compliance is determined on an annual basis using audited and consolidated financial statements.  As of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
 
NOTE F - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
 
 Pay Fixed, Receive-Variable Interest Rate Swaps
 
Objective of the swaps: QMT entered into two separate pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps with the objective of eliminating the variability in the Company’s interest expense on 50% of its $3,612 thousand Term Loan (“Term Loan A”) and of its $5,470 thousand Term Loan (Term Loan B) attributable to changes in one month LIBOR.  The Term Loans were made pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) dated August 8, 2012 between QMT and the Bank.
 
The terms, of the outstanding swaps as of December 30, 2012 were as follows:

Associated Debt
Notional Amount

NOTE G – BENEFIT PLANS
 
401(k) Plan
 
Each of the operating entities of the Predecessor sponsors a 401(k) plan and matches employee contributions as determined by resolution of the Board on an annual basis. The employer contribution criteria currently varies by operating entity. The amount charged to expense under the Plan was $31 thousand and $40 thousand for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively and $117 thousand and $88 thousand for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.
 
Cash Incentive Plan

Certain full-time salaried employees of the Company are covered under a contributory cash incentive plan. The Company’s contributions are based on amounts established at the discretion of the Board. The Company's contributions to this plan for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 were $101 thousand and $162 thousand, respectively and for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 were $213 thousand and $278 thousand, respectively.

NOTE H – COMMITMENTS
 
The Company leases land, facilities and equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements expiring through August 31, 2017 and contain various renewal options.
 
At December 30, 2012, future rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):
 
December 30,        
2013
  $ 477  
2014

Rent expense was $49 thousand and $79 thousand for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and   January 1, 2012, respectively and $212 thousand and $158 thousand for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and   January 1, 2012, respectively.
 
The Company entered into an employee agreement with its president and CEO dated March 1, 2011.  The agreement will expire February 24, 2014, with an automatic one year renewal option.  The President and CEO’s annual salary is $267.3 thousand and he is eligible for benefits as provided to similar situated employees of QMT.
 
NOTE I – CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company had sales from operations to four and three customer(s) for the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 that represented approximately 36% and 32.9% of our sales. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose us to a material adverse effect if one or more of these large customers were to experience financial difficulty or were to cease being customer for non-financial related issues. At December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 these customers represented approximately 32.3% and 5.5%, respectively, of our net trade accounts receivable.

At December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively, there was no concentration in the volume of business above 5% transacted with a particular supplier(s) for which the Company had no alternative sources of supply.

 
17

 
 
NOTE J – FLOMET SHARE OPTION NOTE RECEIVABLE
 
At December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 the Company had a balance of notes receivable related to financed options in the amount of $303 thousand. Payments on the notes receivable are to be made from incentive compensation earned by the optionee. In the event insufficient incentive compensation is earned by the optionee to meet the principal payments due under the note receivable, the payments can be waived until sufficient incentive compensation is earned.  The note has been classified as a reduction of equity.

NOTE K – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share, reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity.  As of December 30, 2012 the Company had no outstanding stock options, therefore there was no computation of effect of dilutive securities. In addition, the net effect of the convertible debt is immaterial to the dilutive calculation.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the respective periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE L - INCOME TAXES

There is no current income tax provision for the three months ended and six months ended December 30, 2012.

Goodwill recorded as part of an asset purchase agreement is deductible for tax purposes and only recorded as a book charge if it is impaired. A deferred tax liability is recorded as the tax deduction is realized, which will not be reversed unless and until the goodwill is disposed of or impaired.  The Company will continue to record an income tax expense related to the amortization of goodwill as a discrete item each quarter unless and until such impairment occurs.

As of December 30, 2012, our net deferred tax assets of $2,254 thousand are fully offset by a valuation allowance. ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.
 
Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes historical operating performance and uncertainties in forecasting our future results, we provided a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets and a full valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. A subsequent determination that the valuation allowance should be reduced would generally result in a benefit to the income tax provision.
 
The Company is still obtaining the information needed in connection with the calculation of the current and deferred tax provision which may result in a revision within the measurement period of such amounts once the information is obtained.

NOTE N – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Quadrant Management Inc. ("Quadrant") is under common control with Brean Murray Carret Group, Inc. (“Brean Murray”). Quadrant indirectly owned 74% of the membership interests of QMT prior to the acquisition. Brean Murray is the controlling shareholder of ARC. Brean Murray and Quadrant are under common control and therefore Brean Murray, Quadrant, ARC and QMT are affiliates under common control. Specifically, Brean Murray controls 100% of the ownership interests of Quadrant as well as, via certain wholly-owned intermediaries, 63.7% of the shares of ARC.
 
Pursuant to the original terms of the ARC Advisory Agreement entered into on January 21, 2009, (the “ARC Advisory Agreement”), Quadrant has provided ARC financial advisory and business consulting services, including restructuring services.  In consideration for the restructuring services provided by Quadrant since November 2008 and for ongoing services, ARC originally agreed to pay Quadrant the following compensation: (1) an initial cash fee of $250 thousand upon signing the ARC Advisory Agreement; (2) an annual fee of the greater of: (i) $250 thousand; (ii) 20% of any increase in reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after adjusting for one-time and non-recurring items (“EBITDA”) for the current financial year over preceding year; or (iii) 20% of reported EBITDA for the current financial year; and (3) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred Quadrant in performing services under the ARC Advisory Agreement.
 
The ARC Advisory Agreement technically provides Quadrant the right to receive 20% of ARC’s EBITDA, even if such EBITDA is derived from the QMT Acquisition and the AFT Acquisition.  However, Quadrant has granted waivers to certain provisions of the ARC Advisory Agreement, (the “Quadrant Waiver”), such that:  (I) in calendar year 2012 Quadrant shall only be paid an annual fee equal to the greater of (i) $250 thousand; (ii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 less the combined EBITDA of QMT and AFT for the twelve months ending February 29, 2012 less the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011; or (iii) the product of (a) 20% and (b)  the reported EBITDA for the financial year of the Company minus the reported EBITDA for QMT and AFT for the twelve months ended February 29, 2012; and (II) in calendar year 2013 Quadrant shall only be paid an annual fee equal to the greater of (i) $250 thousand; (ii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 less the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012; or (iii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the reported EBITDA for the financial year of the Company minus the reported EBITDA for QMT and AFT for the twelve months ended February 29, 2012. The ARC Advisory Agreement has been further revised such that it shall no longer extend for additional one-year periods after its expiration on December 31, 2013 in the absence of written termination notice by either party.
 
In consideration for granting the foregoing waiver, and in consideration for substantial merger and acquisition support services rendered to ARC over the past several years, Quadrant and ARC entered into a Letter Agreement pursuant to which ARC agreed to pay Quadrant transaction fees upon the closing of the QMT and AFT Acquisitions, calculated by reference to 2% of the total enterprise value for the QMT Acquisition and AFT Acquisition. As a result of the Closing of the QMT and AFT Acquisitions on August 8, 2012, a fee of $1.6 million has been paid to Quadrant.
 
In addition, Quadrant and QMT have entered into a non-exclusive financial advisory agreement, (the “QMT Financial Advisory Agreement”), whereby Quadrant performs ongoing consulting and advisory services for QMT through Quadrant personnel (acting at all times as independent contractors to QMT). The scope of such services includes business consulting services, financial advisory services, and other services. In consideration for such services, on January 1, 2012 QMT commenced paying an annual cash fee to Quadrant of $250 thousand to be paid in quarterly installments. QMT shall reimburse Quadrant for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Quadrant in connection with the performance of its services. The QMT-Quadrant financial advisory agreement continues in effect following the acquisition of QMT by the Company and will remain effective through December 31, 2013 in accordance with the Amendment to the QMT Financial Advisory Agreement.

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

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations.  It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 as well as our report on Form 8-K/A filed on September 28, 2012. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward looking.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report.  In particular, the Company has not yet completed its purchase price allocation and the finalization of the purchase price allocation could result in a material increase to amortization expense. The Company continues to analyze the purchase price accounting allocations with respect to identifiable intangibles. If the Company concludes that some of the purchase prices should be allocated to certain identifiable intangibles, additional material amortization expense may be retroactively recorded back to the date of the acquisitions of QMT and AFT by the Company. The Company expects to engage an independent third party valuation consultant to assist the Company to ascertain the value of such intangibles and to assist the Company to assign the useful life over which amortization will occur. The Company intends to complete the analysis and amortization assessment prior to the Company’s June 30, 2013 fiscal year end. Investors are cautioned that the conclusions of such analysis and amortization period determinations could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our Company. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
 
ARC BUSINESS OVERVIEW

After completion of the mergers mentioned above, ARC operates three groups of companies: the Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary, and TeknaSeal; the Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit and the Wireless Group, consisting of ARC Wireless LLC and ARC Wireless Ltd.
 
PRECISION COMPONENTS GROUP
 
The precision component industry is comprised of a number of significant industries commonly defined by the process and/or type of metal utilized to manufacture the component. Common processes include casting, forging, machining, stamping, powder metallurgy (conventional P/M metal injection molding ("MIM"), and powder forging) and extrusion. Materials range from basic iron and steel to aluminum, magnesium, zinc, precious metals, copper and brass, tin, tungsten, titanium and others. While there are no compiled figures for the total of these markets, it is believed to be in total of hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
 
The Precision Components Group companies participate in several significant metal component fabrication market segments providing high quality fabricated metal components and the hermetic sealing of those components to some of the fastest growing industries, among them medical devices, firearms and electronic devices.
 
FLANGE AND FITTINGS GROUP
 
General Flange & Forge
 
GF&F is one of approximately 10 domestic flange manufacturers in the United States, and the only one on the East Coast. GF&F has been in business since 1972. The majority of flange manufacturers are in the South West. GF&F is a very customer-driven and service-oriented company. GF&F estimates that the domestic market, combining carbon, stainless and alloy flanges, is more than a billion dollars.
 
GF&F’s business model is focused on converting foreign-purchased alloy steel and stainless steel forgings into domestic flanges via value-added processing to provide a finished component with sufficient domestic content to qualify as domestically produced. The company also sells foreign produced finished flanges for certain applications. Additionally, the company will purchase forgings produced in the US and Europe and machine them into finished flanges for high-integrity applications.
 
 
24

 
 
TubeFit
 
TubeFit is a master distributor of import fittings and both import and domestic flanges. TubeFit estimates the overall PVF (Pipe Valve and Fitting) market domestically to be well over a billion dollars annually. The segment TubeFit serves is a segment of this market called the General Commodity Welds Fitting and Flange market – estimated to be over $400 million annually.
 
WIRELESS GROUP

The Wireless Group focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. It 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.
 
Growth in product revenue is dependent on market acceptance of the new ARCFlexTM family of full solution radio products, on gaining further traction with current and new customers for the existing product portfolio, as well on developing new products to support our wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for the products is correlated to the overall global wireless market and to the ability to take market share from our competitors. The Group focuses on keeping our operational and general costs low in order to improve margins.
 
Specific growth areas are last mile wireless broadband Internet delivered over standards-based solutions such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ("WiMAX"), WiFi or vendor specific proprietary solutions; GPS and Mobile SATCOM solutions for network timing, fleet and asset tracking and monitoring; Machine to machine ("M2M") communications for controlling or monitoring data from devices; and base stations to build out or optimize carrier networks.
 
ARC’s Financial Condition
 
As of December 30, 2012 the Company had total assets of $68.2 million, consisting of total current assets of $24.0 million, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, of $25.1 million, and total long term assets of $19.1 million.  In comparison, as of June 30, 2012 the Company had total assets of $21.3 million, consisting of total current assets of $9.7 million, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $4.5 million, and total long-term assets of $7.1 million. The significant increase of $46.9 million in total assets is mainly attributed to the fair value of assets acquired in the business combination transaction discussed in Note A which amounted to $52.9 million.

At December 30, 2012 and at June 30, 2012 the Company had working capital of $8.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively.  The increase in working capital was driven by the increase in accounts receivable and inventory largely due to the acquisition of AFT and AFT-Hungary.

At December 30, 2012, the Company’s total current assets of $24.0 million consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $9.8 million, inventory of $11.1 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.9 million. Total current liabilities of 15.8 million consisted of current portion of long-term debt in the amount of $4.6 million, line of credit of $3.9 million, accounts payable and accrued liabilities $6.6 million, and unearned mold income of $0.7 million.

The Company’s total current assets of $9.7 million as of June 30, 2012, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $1.5 million, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $3.7 million, a related party receivable of $0.2 million, inventory of $3.9 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.4 million. Total current liabilities of $3.7 million consisted of current portion of long-term debt in the amount of $1.5 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million, unearned mold income of $0.1 million and a related party payable of $0.4 million.

 
25

 
 
As of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, long term assets consisted of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles in the amount of $19.1 million, and $7.0 million, respectively; $11.7 million is attributed to the purchase of AFT and $0.1 million to the reverse acquisition of ARC.
 
The Company’s total liabilities and stockholders’ equity were $45.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2012. In comparison, as of June 30, 2012 the Company’s total liabilities and members’ equity were $9.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively.  The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributed to the increase in total debt as the result of the acquisition.  The change in stockholders’ equity was driven by the increase in additional paid in capital, due to reverse acquisition accounting for the Predecessor Company’s investment in ARC.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Six Months Ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012

For the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s total sales were $31.0 million, and other income including the gain on bargain purchase of $0.4 million.  In comparison, total sales were $15.2 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012 and other income of $0.1 million.

The increase in sales of approximately $15.8 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended January 1, 2012 is primarily attributed to the acquisition of ARC and AFT, on August 8, 2012.
 
For the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s total cost of sales and operating expenses were $30.1 million, including cost of sales of $22.9 million, selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.6 million, and nonrecurring merger expenses of $1.6 million. For the six months ended January 1, 2012, QMTs total cost of sales and operating expenses were $12.4 million, including cost of sales of $9.0 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.4 million. For the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s other income included $0.4 million in gains on the bargain purchase of ARC offset by interest and miscellaneous expense of $0.4 million; for the six months ended January 1, 2012 the Company had other expense of $0.3 million attributable to interest expense.

The cost of sales and operating expense increase over prior year is attributed to the acquisition of AFT and ARC on August 8, 2012 resulting in $16.2 million of additional cost of sales and operating expenses for acquired manufacturing volume and $1.6 million of merger expenses.

 The Company’s net income before non-controlling interest for the six months ended December 30, 2012 was $0.8 million compared to earnings before non-controlling interest for the six months ended January 1, 2012 of $2.6 million. The earnings before non-controlling interest decreased significantly over the prior year due to decreased net income attributed to initial merger and acquisitions costs. The net income as of December 30, 2012 excluding merger expenses and the gain on bargain purchase is $2.1 million.
 
Income allocated to the Company’s non-controlling interest was $0.1 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012 compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012.
 
For the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s net income was $0.7 million compared to $2.3 million in net income for the six months ended January 1, 2012. As noted above, the significant reductions in net earnings for the six months ended December 30, 2012 over the six months ended January 1, 2012 were primarily due to nonrecurring merger expenses of $1.6 million.
 
 
26

 
 
Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012

For the three months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s total sales were $17.5 million.  In comparison, total sales were $7.8 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012 and other income of $0.1 million.

The increase in sales of approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended December 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended January 1, 2012 resulted from the acquisition of ARC and AFT on August 8, 2012.

For the three months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s total cost of sales and operating expenses were $16.4 million, including cost of sales of $13.2 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million. For the three months ended January 1, 2012, QMTs total cost of sales and operating expenses were $6.3 million, including cost of sales of $4.5 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.8 million. For the three months ended December 30, 2012, the Company had other expense of $.2 million attributable to interest expense; for the three months ended January 1, 2012 the Company had net other expense of $0.1 million primarily attributable to interest expense.

The cost of sales and operating expense increase over prior year is attributed to the acquisition of AFT and ARC on August 8, 2012 resulting in $10.1 million of additional cost of sales and operating expenses for acquired manufacturing volume.

The Company’s net income before non-controlling interest for the three months ended December 30, 2012 was $0.8 million compared to earnings before non-controlling interest for the three months ended January 1, 2012 of $1.4 million. The earnings before non-controlling interest decreased over the prior year due to increased interest expense associated with long-term debt and higher operating costs as a percentage of sales due to lower historical margin levels at the acquired entities AFT and ARC Wireless.

Income allocated to the Company’s non-controlling interest was $47 thousand for the three months ended December 30, 2012 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012.

For the three months ended December 30, 2012, the Company’s net income was $0.8 million compared to $1.2 million in net income for the three months ended January 1, 2012. As noted above, the reductions in net earnings is a result of increased interest expense and higher operating costs as a percentage of sales.

Precision Components

Precision Components' sales were $26.4 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012, compared to sales of $11.0 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012, an increase of $15.4 million.  Operating income was $3.6 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012 compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012, an increase of $1.2 million.  Segment operating income as a percent of segment sales for the six months ended December 30, 2012 decreased to 13.5 percent from 21.8 percent of segment sales for the six months ended January 1, 2012.

Precision Components’ sales were $15.1 million for the three months ended December 30, 2012, compared to sales of $5.5 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012, an increase of $9.6 million. Operating income was $2.0 million for the three months ended December 30, 2012 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012, an increase of $0.7 million. Segment operating income as a percent of segment sales for the three months ended December 30, 2012 decreased to 13.0 percent from 22.6 percent of segment sales for the three months ended January 1, 2012.

Sales for the Precision Components segment increased, by $9.6 million or 172.5 percent, comparing the three months ended December 30, 2012 to the three months ended January 1, 2012  primarily due to the acquisitions of AFT and AFT-HU on August 8, 2012 and the inclusion of their operating results in this segment. Sales revenues for the three months ended December 30, 2012 for AFT was $10.2 million offset by a slight decrease in revenues for FloMet and TeknaSeal of $.6 million, reflecting the general slowing in the economy.

Precision Components
 
Sales for the Precision Components segment increased by $15.4 million or 140.4 percent the six months ended December 30, 2012 in comparison to the six months ended January 1, 2012 primarily due to the acquisitions of AFT and AFT-HU on August 8, 2012 and the inclusion of their operating results in this segment. Sales revenues for the six months ended December 30, 2012 for AFT was $16.2 million offset by a slight decrease in revenues for FloMet and TeknaSeal of $.8 million, reflecting the general slowing in the economy.

The firearms market segment at AFT continued to grow strongly as the company was able to meet increased demand and secure several new programs from their customers in this growing market segment.  Sales at AFT-HU to their automotive turbocharger customers reflected the increasing demand for turbochargers in cars as engine displacements continue to shrink to meet increasing fuel economy requirements. Turbochargers enable the automakers to downsize engines while improving performance thus providing customers with a relatively transparent solution to improved fuel efficiency without sacrificing power.

The operating costs for the segment increased on a percentage basis over prior year due to lower historical margin levels at AFT and AFT-HU due to higher material costs as a percentage of sales and certain manufacturing inefficiencies which are being addressed with a large number of continuous improvement programs and price increases to certain customers.  We expect that the current slowing economy will continue to have a slightly negative impact on revenues for the balance of fiscal year 2013. The Precision Components segment is experiencing a slight slowdown in demand in several important market segments such as medical devices but we expect demand in the firearms and automotive segment to offset much of the negative impact on revenues. The operating companies have implemented additional cost reduction and continuous improvement activities to maintain and improve margins, and will also aggressively pursue price increase opportunities with certain customers to offset increases in raw materials and other operating costs.  Additionally, we expect demand in Europe for automotive turbochargers to continue its strong growth patterns which should translate into increased revenues at AFT-HU.

Flanges & Fittings

Flanges and Fittings’ sales were $3.6 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012, compared to sales of $4.2 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012.  Segment operating income was $0.2 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012, compared to segment operating income of $0.5 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012.   Segment operating income, as a percent of segment sales, for the six months ended December 30, 2012 decreased to 5.1 percent from 11.2 percent of segment sales for the six months ended January 1, 2012.

Flanges and Fittings’ sales were $1.8 million for the three months ended December 30, 2012, compared to sales of $2.3 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012. Segment operating income was $40 thousand for the three months ended December 30, 2012, compared to segment operating income of $0.3 million for the three months ended January 1, 2012. Segment operating income, as a percent of segment sales, for the three months ended December 30, 2012 decreased to 2.2 percent from 11.4 percent of segment sales for the three months ended January 1, 2012.

The reduction in revenues reflects the impact of the slowing in the general economy in the quarter in addition to the significant impacts of Hurricane Sandy on our customer base in the Northeast US. The reduction in operating income is due to losses at our TubeFit subsidiary caused by a temporary interruption in supplies of imported flanges and fittings from our foreign sources due to lead times for these products increasing unexpectedly and lower demand at our General Flange subsidiary due to Hurricane Sandy that could not be offset with cost reductions in the short term. The Tubefit supply chain has been reestablished and regular product flow is again in place with long-term agreements with new sources now in place which should preclude a recurrence of this interruption in supply and we have made certain cost reductions in our General Flange operation to reduce our operating costs as the Northeast recovers.

Flanges & Fittings
 
As with our Precision Components segment, the Flanges & Fittings segment is witnessing a slight slowdown in overall demand from its customers due to the sluggish US economy.  However, we remain optimistic about the overall prospects of the Flanges & Fittings industry.  The increasing attention on energy, chemical manufacturing, food processing, and other industries requiring flow management all appear to position the companies within this industry, including GF&F and TubeFit, for continued growth.  Both GF&F and TubeFit are focused on continuing to expand their customer base in 2013, particularly with the instrumentation market segment and the energy segment.
 
Wireless
 
Total revenues were approximately $0.9 million for the period of August 8, 2012 through December 30, 2012. Total costs of sales, excluding selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs were $0.7 million, resulting in a gross profit margin, of 30.9%. For the three months ended December 30, 2012 the wireless segment’s sales were $0.6 million, total cost of sales, excluding selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs were $0.4 million, resulting in gross margin of 32.0%.
 
            SG&A costs excluding corporate expenses were $0.5 million for the period August 8, 2012 through December 30, 2012 and $0.4 million for the three months ending December 30, 2012. Total operating costs for the period August 8, 2012 through December 30, 2012 were $1.2 million resulting in an operating loss of $0.2 million; total operating costs for the three months ending December 30, 2012 were $0.8 million resulting in an operating loss of $0.2 million. The results of operations were mainly attributed to lower than anticipated sales volume.

(1) Current ratio is calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities.

(2) Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

At December 30, 2012 the cash balance is $2.2 million, current assets of $24 million and current liabilities of $15.8 million.  We believe that we have the ability to provide for our fiscal 2013 operational needs through projected operating cash flow and cash on hand.
 
The net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012, primarily attributed to the reduced net income in 2012 as a result of the $1.6 million in merger expenses.
 
The net cash used in investing activities was $31.2 million for the six months ended December 30, 2012, compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended January 1, 2012. During the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, $216 thousand and $436 thousand, respectively, was invested in manufacturing equipment to drive an increase in production efficiencies through automation and improvements. The remaining year over year difference is attributed to the assets acquired in the business combination.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
The Risk Factors set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Amendment No. 1, as filed with the Commission on July 16, 2012, are incorporated herein by reference thereto. In addition to such risk factors incorporated herein by reference, the Company has not yet completed its purchase price allocation and the finalization of the purchase price allocation could result in a material increase to amortization expense. The Company continues to analyze the purchase price accounting allocations with respect to identifiable intangibles. If the Company concludes that some of the purchase prices should be allocated to certain identifiable intangibles, there is a risk that additional material amortization expense may be retroactively recorded back to the date of the acquisitions of QMT and AFT by the Company. The Company expects to engage an independent third party valuation consultant to assist the Company to ascertain the value of such intangibles and to assist the Company to assign the useful life over which amortization will occur. The Company intends to complete the analysis and amortization assessment prior to the Company’s June 30, 2013 fiscal year end. Investors are cautioned that the conclusions of such analysis and amortization period determinations could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our Company.
