Financial Statement Presentation

Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Air T, Inc. (“Air T”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been made.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

Discontinued Operations

On September 30, 2019, the Company completed the sale of Global Aviation Services, LLC ("GAS"). The results of operations of GAS are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Refer to Footnote 3 - "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations.

Liquidity

Contrail Aviation Support, LLC ("Contrail") is a subsidiary of the Company in the Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment. The Contrail Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of Contrail and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee indebtedness, incur liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, make acquisitions or other investments, make changes in the nature of its business, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The Contrail Credit Agreement also contains quarterly financial covenants applicable to Contrail and its subsidiaries, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 and a minimum tangible net worth of $15 million.

On September 25, 2020, Contrail entered into a Third Amendment to Supplement #2 to Master Loan Agreement dated June 24, 2019 with Old National Bank ("ONB"). The material changes within the Third Amendment are: (a) to extend the date for compliance with the provision where Contrail is required to pay down the total outstanding principal balance of its revolver to zero for at least thirty consecutive days to September 5, 2021; and (b) to extend the date for compliance with the required quarterly debt service coverage ratio covenant such that Contrail shall commence compliance with the covenant commencing on March 31, 2022 and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

In addition, the Third Amendment adds an event of default to the Master Loan Agreement if Contrail does not consummate an approximate $43.6 million loan transaction under the Main Street Priority Loan Facility Program established by the U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") by December 31, 2020. As of the issuance date of this report, the loan transaction has been finalized with ONB, however, the financing is in escrow pending final approval from the Fed. As the Fed's approval has not yet been granted as of the issuance date of this report, no assurance can be given at this time that this financing will be completed and funded.

The obligations of Contrail under the Contrail Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by the Company, up to a maximum of $1.6 million, plus costs of collection. The Company is not liable for any other assets or liabilities of Contrail and there are no cross-default provisions with respect to Contrail’s debt in any of the Company’s debt agreements with other lenders. If Contrail were to cease operations, the Company believes it, along with the rest of its businesses, will continue to operate, given the maximum guarantee of Contrail’s obligations of $1.6 million, plus costs of collection.

AirCo 1, LLC ("AirCo 1") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AirCo, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stratus Aero Partners LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in the Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment. The revolving lines of credit at both Air T and AirCo 1 with Minnesota Bank & Trust ("MBT") have a due date or expire within the next twelve months. We are currently seeking to refinance these obligations prior to August 31, 2021; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to

execute this refinancing or, if we are able to refinance these obligations, that the terms of such refinancing would be as favorable as the terms of our existing credit facility.

With respect to alternative financing, AirCo 1 also intends to access debt financing under the Main Street Priority Loan Facility Program, established by the Federal Reserve in response to economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Main Street loans are intended to provide additional credit to companies that were in sound condition prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While AirCo 1 believes that they qualify under the criteria set forth under the Main Street Priority Loan Facility Program, there is no assurance that AirCo 1 will obtain funding under the Main Street Priority Loan Facility Program or if such credit is obtained that it would be sufficient.

The obligation of AirCo 1 under the AirCo 1 Credit Agreement with MBT is not guaranteed by the Company. The Company is not liable for any other assets or liabilities of AirCo 1 and there are no cross-default provisions with respect to AirCo 1’s debt in any of the Company’s debt agreements with MBT. If AirCo 1 were to cease operations, the Company believes it, along with the rest of its businesses, will continue to operate, given that AirCo 1's obligation is not guaranteed by the Company.

In April 2020, the Company obtained loans under the PPP, as authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), of $8.2 million to help pay for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs. The Company will apply to MBT for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, however, forgiveness is not fully assured. The Company believes it is probable that the cash on hand (including that obtained from the PPP), net cash provided by operations from its remaining operating segments, together with its current revolving lines of credit, as amended or replaced, will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. Even though the Company undertook measures to attempt to limit the effect of the pandemic and its impact on the Company, the Company continued to experience a decrease in revenues during the second fiscal quarter and the month of October. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Financial Instruments Designated for Trading

Except for short sales of equity securities, the Company accounts for all other financial instruments (including derivative instruments) designated for trading in accordance with ASC 815. All changes in the fair value of the financial instruments designed for trading are recognized in earnings as they occur. Further, all gains and losses on derivative instruments designated for trading are presented net on the condensed consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The fair value of derivative instruments designated for trading in a gain position are recorded in Other Current Assets and the fair value of derivative instruments designed for trading in a loss position are recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company accounts for short sales of equity securities in accordance with ASC 942 and ASC 860. The obligations incurred in short sales are reported in Accrued Expenses and Other on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets. They are subsequently measured at fair value through the income statement at each reporting date with gains and losses on securities. Interest on the short positions are accrued periodically and reported as interest expense. The market value of the Company’s equity securities and cash held by the broker are used as collateral against any outstanding margin account borrowings for purposes of short selling equities. This collateral is recorded in Other Current Assets on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company reports all cash receipts and payments resulting from the purchases and sales of securities, loans, and other assets that are acquired specifically for resale as operating cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, including trade receivables. The standard requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” for such assets at inception, and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step Two from the goodwill impairment test. Step Two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this standard, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company adopted this amendment on April 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In October 2018, the FASB updated the Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this update affect reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate a legal entity under the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall. Indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The Company adopted this amendment on April 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB updated the Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes of the Accounting Standards Codification. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income), among other changes. The Company early adopted this amendment as of April 1, 2020. The amendment resulted in an immaterial impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2020, the FASB updated the Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04- Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. Further, in accordance with the amendments in this Update, an entity may make a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform and that are classified as held to maturity before January 1, 2020. The amendments are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of this ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform.
