Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

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

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP. As such, this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC and its controlled subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For each of the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, there were no material differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases: Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”), to supersede nearly all existing lease guidance under GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the

Table of Contents

balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases. ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows; however, the Company’s operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date for one year beyond the originally specified effective date. ASU 2014-09 is effective in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019 and may transition to the standard using either the full retrospective approach or retrospectively with a cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has completed its initial assessment of the effect of adoption. Based on this initial assessment, the majority of the Company’s revenues will not be affected upon adoption. The Company is still analyzing the disclosure requirements of this new standard.

NOTE 3 – Divestitures

General Flange & Forge LLC (“GF&F”)

On September 15, 2017, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of GF&F to GFFC Holdings, LLC (“GFFC”) for $3.0 million in cash. GFFC is owned, in part, by Quadrant Management Inc., which is an affiliate of the Company. The sale of GF&F is therefore a related party transaction. The GF&F sale was made pursuant to an industry-wide auction undertaken on behalf of the Company by a registered investment banking organization that managed the sale process with prospective bidders. GFFC entered into the bidding for the GF&F assets only after the first rounds of the auction indicated uncertainty both in respect to the timing for closing any prospective sale and achieving the Company’s valuation objectives. Mr. Alan Quasha, CEO of Quadrant Management Inc. and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, recused himself from any deliberations or voting by the Board of Directors in respect of the sale of the GF&F assets to GFFC. The Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to oversee and negotiate the sale process. The special committee engaged its own independent legal counsel to advise the special committee in respect of the drafting of the asset sale agreement and ancillary transaction documents in accordance with customary terms and conditions for transactions of this type. In this manner, the special committee was able to conclude that the sale price and the terms and conditions for the transaction were superior to any other offers, as well as fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

Senior Credit Agreement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

Table of Contents

On November 12, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment suspends the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2018. The suspension of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant was effective as of October 1, 2017. The Fourth Amendment also adds a minimum revolving credit availability financial covenant. The Fourth Amendment also permits the Company to make infusions of junior capital, which may consist of subordinated debt and/or equity issuances. The junior capital infusions made under the Fourth Amendment will not be subject to mandatory prepayment of the Senior ABL Credit Facility, but subject to certain limitations in respect of outstanding subordinated indebtedness. Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the initial infusion of junior capital in amount of not less than $5.0 million must be completed by the Company no later than January 31, 2018. The minimum revolving credit availability covenant requires the Company to maintain the following availability: (a) at least $1,250,000 in revolving credit availability until the earlier of (i) the initial closing of the infusion of $5.0 million in junior capital and (ii) January 31, 2018; and (b) thereafter, at least $3,500,000 in such revolving credit availability. The Fourth Amendment also reduces the Line Cap (consisting of the lesser of the aggregate revolving credit commitment and the borrowing base) in respect of certain prepayment obligations and conditions precedent to borrowing, by reducing the borrowing base by $1,250,000. The Fourth Amendment contains customary representations and warranties regarding the status of the Company and compliance with all terms and conditions of the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

On February 9, 2018, the Company received a waiver from Citizens Bank, N.A. for any noncompliance with the minimum revolving credit availability covenant during the second fiscal quarter of 2018 and for not closing on the junior capital infusion prior to January 31, 2018. The waiver is effective through February 28, 2018.

Prior Amended & Restated Credit Agreement

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

Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement

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

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

On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio.

On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to authorize discretionary omission by the administrative agent of certain non-cash items from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and to include cash proceeds from the rights offering as excluded contributions of capital that will not be subject to mandatory prepayment under the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Subordinated Credit Facility, after giving effect to the fifth amendment discussed above.

NOTE 8 – Income Taxes

The income tax receivable was $0.7 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, which are included in other current assets. The long-term income tax receivable was $0.3 million at December 31, 2017, which is included in other non-current assets. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million and $1.0 million on December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was signed into law by the President of the United States. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.4 million due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at a blended rate in the three months ended December 31, 2017, which is fully offset by a reduction in valuation allowance. In addition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.3 million due to reduction in the valuation allowance previously recognized on alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards. Under the Tax Reform Act, AMT credit carryforwards are refundable credits. The tax expense and benefit are provisional amounts and the Company’s current best estimate. Any adjustments recorded to the provisional amounts will be included in income from operations as an adjustment to tax expense, net of any related valuation allowance. The provisional amount incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the Tax Reform Act and may change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation guidance.

NOTE 9 – Earnings Per Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic and Diluted

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding

Table of Contents

during each period. As a result of the Company’s net loss from continuing operations, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, approximately 69,357 and 437,804 shares, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, approximately 105,857 and 275,779 shares, respectively, were considered anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Rights Offering

On December 8, 2017, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a proposed rights offering to its existing shareholders. The proposed rights offering consists of a public offering of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of ARC common stock. The basic subscription right will grant to each shareholder a proportionate number of the rights offered allocated by reference to the shareholder’s percentage ownership of the Company on the record date. The rights offering also contains an over-subscription right. The over-subscription right will allow a shareholder to participate if they have exercised their basic subscription rights in full and other shareholders do not fully exercise their basic subscription rights. If the number of remaining shares is not sufficient to satisfy all of the over‑subscriptions, the available remaining shares will be prorated among those subscribers who exercise over‑subscription rights in proportion to their respective basic subscription rights subject to certain limitations and subject to allotment. The Company has entered into backstop agreements with certain existing shareholders, including its majority shareholder Everest Hill Group Inc., to purchase any and all shares not purchased in the rights offering by other shareholders. The gross proceeds from the Company’s rights offering is expected to reach $10.0 million.

The purpose of the rights offering is to raise equity capital for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 10 – Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s share-based compensation arrangements include grants of stock options under the ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2016 ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 was $0.1 million and during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 was $0.4 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2017, there was $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

NOTE 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company’s stamping operations located in Michigan experienced a wind-generated power disruption that temporarily halted production for several days and severely damaged key equipment. The Company is insured for these business interruption and equipment repair costs and filed an insurance claim with its insurance provider. The estimated ongoing loss of approximately $1.0 million is expected to be fully covered by insurance, and $0.9 million was collected through the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The remaining $0.1 million is recorded as an insurance claim receivable at December 31, 2017.

The Company leases land, facilities, and equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements expiring through 2022, which contain various renewal options. The Company also leases equipment and a building under non-cancellable capital lease agreements expiring through 2024. The capital leases have interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.3%.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business. As of December 31, 2017, the Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings, the resolution of which, management believes, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

NOTE 12 – Segment Information

During fiscal 2017, the Company sold its non-core subsidiaries, Tekna Seal and ARC Wireless. Subsequently, in September 2017, the Company sold its non-core subsidiary, GF&F, which comprised the Flanges and Fittings Group segment. The completed divestiture of these non-core businesses, along with the growth in its 3D metal printing business, has changed the way in which management and its chief operating decision maker evaluate performance and allocate resources. As a result, during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company revised its business segments,

Overview

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. is a global advanced manufacturer offering a full suite of products and services to our customers, with specific expertise in metal injection molding (“MIM”) and metal 3D printing (also referred to herein as additive manufacturing). To further advance and support these core capabilities, the Company also offers complementary services including: (i) precision metal stamping; (ii) traditional and clean room plastic injection molding;

Table of Contents

and (iii) advanced rapid and conformal tooling. Through our diverse product offering, we provide our customers with a holistic prototyping and full-run production solution for both precision metal and plastic fabrication. We further differentiate ourselves from our competitors by providing innovative, custom capabilities, which improve high-precision manufacturing efficiency and speed-to-market for our customers.

Our business model is to accelerate the widespread adoption of MIM and additive manufacturing, along with other key technologies, including automation, robotics, and production software in traditional manufacturing, thereby benefiting from the elimination of inefficiencies currently present in the global supply chain. More specifically, the two key pillars of our business strategy are centered on the following areas:

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

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

Separately, U.S. manufacturing has been rejuvenated as global wage disparities mitigate and traditional labor-intensive processes are displaced by technology. These macroeconomic trends will aid in the adoption of our business strategy.

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

Our overall growth strategy is centered on:

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

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

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

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

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

Sales

For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 1, 2017

Precision Components Group sales during the three months ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $7.7 million, or 37.1%, due to lower MIM sales of $4.0 million and lower plastic and tooling sales of $3.7 million, declines primarily associated with customers in the firearms and defense industries.

Stamping Group sales during the three months ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $1.2 million, or 20.9%, due to certain program completions being partially offset by the awarding of replacement programs to us primarily in the automotive industry.

3DMT sales during the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased by $0.4 million, or 63.1%, primarily due to higher sales to defense customers. This level of sales represented a record quarter in our 3DMT segment.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Six Months Ended January 1, 2017

Precision Components Group sales during the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $13.4 million, or 32.8%, due to lower MIM sales of $7.0 million and lower plastic and tooling sales of $6.4 million, declines primarily associated with customers in the firearms and defense industries.

Stamping Group sales during the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $1.6 million, or 14.8%, primarily due to a wind-generated power disruption in late fiscal 2017 and certain program completions, being partially offset by the awarding of replacement programs to us primarily in the automotive industry. The Company expects insurance to cover generally all damages and business interruption associated with the power disruption.

3DMT sales during the six months ended December 31, 2017 increased by $0.9 million, or 109.1%, primarily due to higher sales to defense customers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

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

For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 1, 2017

Precision Components Group gross profit decreased $4.3 million and gross margin decreased 21.8% during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin were related to the decrease in revenue and customer volumes, primarily in the firearm and defense industries, as well as planned inventory reduction initiatives, coupled with an associated under-utilization of capacity in our Colorado facilities. Decreases in inventory resulted in a corresponding increase in expense recognition, negatively impacting gross profit by $0.7 million in the quarter, or 16.2%, of the overall decrease in gross margin. Further, the inventory reduction program also resulted in a significant reduction in production hours at these facilities, which had a further incremental impact on gross profit due to reduced cost absorption.

Stamping Group gross profit decreased $0.5 million and gross margin decreased 9.0% during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The primary reasons for the decreases in gross profit and gross margin were lower sales and lower margin tooling sales related to new product launches.

3DMT gross profit decreased $14 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Negative margin decreased to 7.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared with negative margin of 10.4% in the prior year period.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Six Months Ended January 1, 2017

Precision Components Group gross profit decreased $7.3 million and gross margin decreased 17.1% during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin were related to the decrease in revenue and customer volumes, primarily in the firearm and defense industries, as well as planned inventory reduction initiatives, coupled with an associated under-utilization of capacity in our Colorado facilities. Decreases in inventory resulted in a corresponding increase in expense recognition, negatively impacting gross profit by $1.3 million in the quarter, or 17.8%, of the overall decrease in gross margin. Further, the inventory reduction program also resulted in a significant reduction in production hours at these facilities, which had a further incremental impact on gross profit due to reduced cost absorption.

Stamping Group gross profit decreased $1.0 million and gross margin decreased 8.9% during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The primary reasons for the decreases in gross profit and gross margin were lower sales and lower margin tooling sales related to new product launches.

3DMT gross profit increased $0.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017. Gross margin increased to 8.8% in the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared with negative margin of 15.0% in the prior year period.

The following paragraphs discuss other items affecting the results of our operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) from continuing operations totaled $3.6 million, or 19.4% of sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared with $4.7 million, or 17.3% of sales, for the three months ended January 1, 2017. SG&A from continuing operations totaled $7.0 million, or 18.4% of sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared with $9.5 million, or 18.1% of sales, for the six months ended January 1,

Table of Contents

2017. The decreases in SG&A expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 were primarily due to lower labor and labor related costs.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively, and was $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. The decrease in other income, net during the three and six months periods ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to a gain of $0.4 million related to a reduction in the Kecy escrow in fiscal 2017.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively, and was $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. The decrease in interest expense, net for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to the refinancing of the Company’s senior secured credit facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

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

Discontinued Operations

On September 15, 2017, the Company sold its subsidiary GF&F. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 excludes the income from discontinued operations, before tax, of $3 thousand and the loss on disposition of this business, after tax, of $0.3 million.

In September 2016, the Company sold its subsidiary Tekna Seal LLC pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended January 1, 2017 excludes the income from discontinued operations, before tax, of $0.1 million and the gain on disposition of this business, after tax, of $3.7 million.

Income Tax

Income tax benefit from continuing operations was $0.4 million and income tax expense was $30 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. Income tax benefit was $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2017, respectively.

The primary reason for the income tax benefit in the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 was due to the impact of the Tax Reform Act enacted on December 22, 2017, primarily reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% and reducing the valuation allowance previously recognized on AMT credit carryforwards, which will be refundable credits. The primary reason for the income tax benefit in the prior year period was due to our net loss from continuing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, held in financial institutions outside the United States. Our Hungarian subsidiary, where these funds are held, is taxed in a similar manner to our domestic subsidiaries. Thus, we would not incur a material tax obligation should we decide to repatriate these funds.

Under our Senior ABL Credit Facility with Citizens Bank, N.A., we will not maintain any cash on hand in our domestic bank accounts by design. Instead, we maintain a $25.0 million asset-based revolver loan, which includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding revolver loan balance. The automatic cash sweep feature serves to decrease

our daily interest expense. Disbursements are paid daily from cash being made available under our revolver loan based on a borrowing base calculation.

As discussed in Note 9, Earnings Per Share, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement relating to a proposed public offering of non-transferrable subscription rights to purchase shares of ARC common stock. The registration statement was declared effective February 9, 2018. We expect to receive gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million before expenses and use such proceeds for general working capital needs.

The securities constituting the rights offering may be offered and sold only pursuant to the prospectus forming a part of the registration statement. The rights will be issued to holders of the Company’s common stock as of the record date of February 6, 2018. The subscription price for the purchase of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the rights offering is $2.00 per share. The rights offering will expire on February 25, 2018. A copy of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement may be obtained free of charge at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by contacting the Company’s subscription agent for the rights offering, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., toll-free at (855) 793-5068.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and revolving loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, $11.2 million of borrowings were outstanding under the senior secured revolving loan, with additional borrowings subject to compliance with the terms of our Senior ABL Credit Facility as described in Note 7. While we believe these sources of liquidity, along with the proposed rights offering, to be sufficient to maintain ongoing operations for the next twelve months, we may seek additional sources of capital to provide incremental liquidity, to assist in the acceleration of organic growth, and to support the achievement of other strategic and financial objectives.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $1.7 million, which consisted of the following:

Net loss of $7.9 million included $5.6 million of non-cash expenses, which consisted primarily of $5.0 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.4 million of share-based compensation and a loss on the sale of GF&F of $0.1 million; and

Cash provided by working capital of $0.6 million primarily resulted from a cash inflow of prepaids related to the net recognition of revenue related to tooling work in process.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, cash provided by investing activities was $1.5 million primarily due to the following:

Proceeds received from the sale of our subsidiary, GF&F, of $3.0 million; and

$1.5 million was invested in property and equipment primarily in our Precision Components Group segment to address customer requirements.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million, primarily due to the following:

Net repayments on our long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $0.5 million; and

Receipt of $0.2 million from the issuance of stock through our employee stock purchase plan and the exercise of stock options.

Debt and Credit Arrangements

For a discussion of our long-term debt, see Note 7, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 to this Report incorporated herein by reference thereto and Note 8, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

The descriptions of the Senior ABL Credit Facility and the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement (together, our “Credit Facilities”) do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the respective documents.

Financial Ratio Covenants

The terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities require us to comply with a number of financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios in certain situations and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we were to default on the credit agreements or other debt instruments, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

Non-compliance by us with any of the covenants would constitute events of default under both of the Credit Facilities pursuant to cross-default provisions and could result in acceleration of payment obligations for all outstanding principal and interest for loans made under both of the Credit Facilities, unless such defaults were waived or subject to forbearance by the respective creditors.

Senior ABL Credit Facility Financial Covenant. Our Senior ABL Credit Facility contains a financial covenant, summarized as follows:

Minimum Availability. We are required to maintain the following availability: (a) at least $1,250,000 in revolving credit availability until the earlier of (i) the initial closing of the infusion of $5.0 million in junior capital, which must be completed not later than January 31, 2018, and (ii) January 31, 2018; and (b) thereafter, at least $3,500,000 in such revolving credit availability.

As of December 31, 2017, we were not in compliance with our minimum availability covenant under the Senior ABL Credit Facility. We received a waiver from Citizens Bank, N.A., which is effective through February 28, 2018.

Subordinated Loan Agreement Financial Ratios. Our Subordinated Loan Agreement contains the following financial ratio covenants, summarized as follows:

Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We may not permit the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending during any period set forth in the table below, to be less than the ratio set forth opposite such period in the table below. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of capital expenditures, excluding tooling, minus expense for taxes paid in cash (other than certain federal and state taxes excluded under the McLarty Second Amendment); to (b) fixed charges, all calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.


Period		Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
March 26, 2017 through September 23, 2017		1.05:1.00
September 24, 2017 through March 24, 2018		1.10:1.00
March 25, 2018 through September 29, 2018		1.15:1.00
September 30, 2018 and thereafter		1.20:1.00

Table of Contents

The summary calculation of our Subordinated Loan Agreement Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of December 31, 2017 is as follows:


(in thousands, except ratio)	Amount
Consolidated EBITDA	$	12,334
Less unfinanced portion of capital expenditures		(2,396)
Less expense for taxes paid in cash		(9)
Coverage Amount (a)	$	9,929
Fixed Charges (b)	$	6,516
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (a:b)		1.52:1.00

Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. We may not have a Total Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending during any period set forth in the table below, to exceed the ratio set forth opposite such period in the table below. The Total Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (a) our funded indebtedness as of such date, to (b) Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period ended as of such date.


Period			Total Leverage Ratio
June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2018			4.00:1.00
July 1, 2018 and thereafter			3.50:1.00

The summary calculation of our Subordinated Loan Agreement Total Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2017 is as follows:


(in thousands, except ratio)	Amount
Funded Indebtedness (a)	$	48,639
Consolidated EBITDA (b)	$	12,334
Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (a:b)		3.94:1.00

As of December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under our Subordinated Loan Agreement.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Fixed Charges and Consolidated EBITDA used in our debt covenant calculations are non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid in better understanding our financial ratios as used in our debt covenant calculations. The methodology used is defined in our debt agreements. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Fixed Charges consist of interest payments, principal payments on our debt, and capital lease payments for the prior four quarters. Consolidated EBITDA used in our debt covenant calculations is based on the sum of the prior four quarter actual amounts.

Table of Contents

The reconciliation of GAAP net income to Consolidated EBITDA under our Subordinated Loan Agreement is as follows (in thousands):


For the twelve months ended:	December 31, 2017
Net loss	$	(20,948)
Share-based compensation		773
Impairments		3,303
Interest expense, net		3,833
Income taxes		(1,575)
Depreciation and amortization		10,055
Transaction related expenses (1)		763
Restructuring and severance expenses		732
Non-recurring expenses		124
Other non-recurring expenses (2)		2,348
Other non-cash adjustments		7,296
Inventory write-offs and reserve adjustments		5,320
Pro-forma EBITDA adjustment to exclude discontinued subsidiaries		310
Consolidated EBITDA (3)	$	12,334

(1)

Transaction related expenses relate to legal fees incurred to amend certain debt agreements and the sale of our non-core subsidiaries.

(2)

Other non-recurring expenses relate to certain capitalized tooling costs, an insurance claim for lost production at our Kecy facility, costs incurred to relocate our plastic injection molding operations, and certain projected cost reductions allowed as an adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA.

(3)

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

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of December 31, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, including estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. Policies determined to be critical are those that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our interim

Table of Contents

Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017, at the reasonable assurance level due to weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We previously reported material weaknesses that were identified as of June 30, 2015. Our information technology and accounting infrastructure was inadequate, which could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters.

Plan for Remediation of the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To address the material weaknesses associated with the Company’s information technology and accounting infrastructure, planned actions in fiscal year 2018 include:

Upgrade of our accounting and manufacturing software system to the latest version in our Colorado facilities. This upgrade will be coupled with a standardization of processes;

Reorganization of global finance team to consolidate operations, thereby creating greater efficiency and separation of duties;

Complete the implementation of our consolidation software package; and

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

During fiscal year 2018, we implemented the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting to address the previously reported material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment:

We sold GF&F, which was a smaller, non-core subsidiary;

In November 2017, the Company hired a Chief Financial Officer, who is also a Certified Public Accountant, with significant experience in accounting, audit, finance, IT, treasury, risk management and U.S. listed company experience; and

Our Tooling business continues to improve its processes and procedures. Accounting practices are becoming more standardized across our Colorado facilities and greater efficiencies have resulted as we move towards a single, shared services accounting department in Colorado.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2017, that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, except with respect to the risk factors applicable to our rights offering, as set forth in the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended and filed with the SEC on February 7, 2018 and declared effective on February 9, 2018, as to which all such risk factors under the caption “RISK FACTORS” and set forth pages 16 through 20 of the prospectus constituting part of the registration statement are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
