Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, and assumptions and predictions about future product demand, supply, manufacturing, costs, marketing and pricing factors are all forward-looking statements. These statements are generally accompanied by words such as “intend,” anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential(ly),” “continue,” “forecast,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. The Company believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to it on the date hereof, but the Company cannot provide assurances that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that the Company will take any action that the Company may presently be planning. However, these forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or experience may differ materially from those expected or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, regulatory policies, available cash, research results, competition from other similar businesses, and market and general economic factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
U.S. Aerospace, Inc. (“U.S. Aerospace” or, collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 1, 1980. Precision Aerostructures, Inc. (“PAI”), a California corporation, was acquired as a subsidiary on October 9, 2009 (see Note 3). PAI supplies aircraft assemblies, structural components, and highly engineered, precision-machined details for commercial and military aircraft.
Effective August 27, 2010, the Company discontinued the operations and sold its unprofitable remanufacturing subsidiary, New Century Remanufacturing, Inc. (“NCR”), to the Company’s former directors, David Duquette and Josef Czikmantori, for $1 and an indemnity from all of NCR’s liabilities. As such, the Company is no longer in the machine tool business, and is focused solely on aerospace and defense.
The Company is an emerging world-class supplier on projects for the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, prime defense contractors, aerospace companies, and commercial aircraft manufacturers. The Company trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “USAE”.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Aerospace and its wholly-owned subsidiary PAI and the accounts of NCR as of August 27, 2010, the date the Company sold NCR to its former directors. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance for disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The guidance requires the Company to report information about segments of its business in annual financial statements and requires it to report selected segment information in its quarterly reports issued to stockholders. The guidance also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers. The Company’s two reportable segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. The Company sold NCR as of August 27, 2010 and thus at September 30, 2010, the Company operated in one reportable segment, multiaxis structural aircraft components (see Note 9):
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in accordance with GAAP, the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, have been made. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2010. Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2009 balances within these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from the audited 2009 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had substantial net loss, accumulated deficit, working capital deficit, had events of default on its CAMOFI and CAMHZN debt and was in default on several payables (see Note 5). These factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements through ongoing operations. Any significant decrease in sales or increase in expenses may require the Company to curb operations or contemplated plans for continued growth, or to seek additional funds in the form of debt or equity financing which the Company believes are available to it. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be assured. In response to these issues, the Company has taken the following actions since new Directors joined in April 2010:
    Reorganized the Company under a new board of directors comprised of experts in the field of government contracting, financial, accounting, and legal
 
    Adopted improved corporate governance procedures to further ensure timely and accurate disclosure to stockholders and formed various committees such as, Nominating & Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee
 
    Adopted a Code of Ethics, applicable to all Company officers, directors and employees, including senior financial officers
 
    Restructured and renegotiated the Company’s existing debts, including a one-year extension of the senior secured debt
 
    Decreased cost of operations with the divesture non-performing subsidiary NCR, and received full indemnity on all liabilities and other issues (See Note 2)
 
    Retained the assistance of outside independent financial advisors to identify and secure financial support for the Company’s business plan that focuses and defines what directions of growth should be targeted within the aerospace & defense industry, both domestically and internationally
 
    Expanded the Company’s international relationships with established companies in China and Ukraine.
 
    Changed the name of the Company to U.S. Aerospace, Inc., to reflect the new branding and business focus of the Company
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts related to recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified the presentation of prior-year information to conform to the current period presentation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes product revenue provided that (1) persuasive evidence exist of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and, (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred hen title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, realization of inventories, collectability of receivables, recoverability of long-lived assets, accrued warranty costs, payroll and income tax penalties, the valuation of conversion options, stock options and warrants and the estimation of costs for long-term construction contracts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Cash is maintained at one financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures accounts at each financial institution for up to $250,000. At times, cash may be in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company did not have any uninsured bank balances at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash.
Accounts Receivable
The Company sells products to customers throughout the U.S. The Company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas served by the Company. Although the Company does not obtain collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable, management periodically reviews accounts receivable and assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure could, at times, be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances that appear to have specific collection issues. The collection process is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. If, after a specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, a bad debt allowance is recorded for the balance in question. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once uncollectability has been determined. The factors considered in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Management reviews the collectability of receivables periodically and believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is adequate.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, sales to one customer approximated 97% and 91% of net revenues. Further, there was one customer that accounted for approximately 98% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2010.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales to five customers accounted for approximately 95% of net revenues. At September 30, 2009, three customers accounted for approximately 95% of the accounts receivable balance.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for each respective year.
Common stock equivalents, representing convertible Preferred Stock, convertible debt, options and warrants totaling approximately 348,673,806 and 132,360,000 for September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted loss from operations per share and in diluted income (loss) available to common shareholders per share as they would be anti-dilutive. However, the dilutive shares are included in the diluted income from discontinued operations per share.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation cost. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, $219,319 and $319,319 respectively of share-based compensation expense was recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, $330,506 and $365,520 respectively, employee share-based compensation expense was recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors grants common share purchase options or warrants to selected directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors in payment of goods or services provided by such persons on a stand-alone basis outside of any of the Company’s formal stock plans. The terms of these grants are individually negotiated and generally expire within five years from the grant date.
Under the terms of the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued to officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. The exercise price of any option generally may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The term of each option generally may not be more than five years.
In accordance with U.S. accounting standards, the Company’s policy is to adjust share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of expected award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.
The fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though the model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restriction, which differ significantly from the Company’s stock options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.
There were no plan options granted, and 1,600,000 options were exercised or expired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. There were 3,000,000 shares available for grant at September 30, 2010.

(1)   Represents the approximate difference between the exercise price and the closing market price of the Company’s common stock at the end of the reporting period (as of September 30, 2010 the market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.07).
The Company accounts for transactions involving services provided by third parties where the Company issues equity instruments as part of the total consideration using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e. the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. In transactions when the value of the goods and/or services are not readily determinable, the fair value of the equity instruments is more reliably measurable and the counter party receives equity instruments in full or partial settlement of the transactions, the Company uses the following methodology:
a) For transactions where goods have already been delivered or services rendered, the equity instruments are issued on or about the date the performance is complete (and valued on the date of issuance).
b) For transactions where the instruments are issued on a fully vested, non-forfeitable basis, the equity instruments are valued on or about the date of the contract.
c) For any transactions not meeting the criteria in (a) or (b) above, the Company re-measures the consideration at each reporting date based on its then current stock value.
From time to time, the Company issues warrants to employees and to third parties pursuant to various agreements, which are not approved by the shareholders.
Non-Plan Options
On April 7, 2010, the Company issued 10,000,000 stock options that were not under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. These options were issued to newly hired non-employee directors and to a marketing consultant. The options have an exercise price of $0.13 per share and a term of five years, with a weighted average remaining life of 4.77 years, One half of the options vest at the end of the first year and one half of the options vest at the end of the second year. The fair value of the options at grant date was approximately $1,273,000 which is being amortized into compensation expense over the vesting period. At September 30, 2010, $265,208 was expensed.
A Black-Scholes model was used to calculate the fair value with the following parameters: stock price of $0.13 per share, exercise price of $0.13 per share, risk free rate of 3.52%, stock volatility of 204.39% and no dividend.
Deferred Financing Costs
Direct costs of securing debt financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company amortized approximately $18,955 and $140,955, respectively, of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company amortized approximately $103,000 and $337,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements
U.S. accounting standards require disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs the Company uses to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the Company, Level 1 inputs include quoted prices on the Company’s securities that are actively traded.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the Company, Level 2 inputs include assumptions such as estimated life, risk free rate and volatility estimates used in determining the fair values of the Company’s option and warrant securities issued.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company does not currently present any nonfinancial assets or liabilities at fair value.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company does not have any liabilities that are measured at fair value as of September 30, 2010.
The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 20010.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
In connection with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable (see Note 5), the notes had conversion features that the Company determined were embedded derivative instruments. The Company issued warrants in connection with a loan payable (see Note 5) that had an anti-dilution provision which caused the warrants to be a derivative instrument. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the note and warrant agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
For all of the derivative instruments, any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.
As discussed in Note 5, effective December 31, 2009, CAMOFI and CAMHZN removed the variability of the conversion feature of their notes, fixing the conversion price at the then conversion price of $0.04 per share. In addition, CAMOFI and CAMHZN also removed the variability of the exercise price of their outstanding warrants. As a result, the fair values of the variable conversion feature ($11,190,904) of the notes and the related warrants ($747,381) were reclassified to additional paid-in capital on December 31, 2009.
Also as discussed in Note 5, effective January 31, 2010, the variability feature of the exercise price of the outstanding warrants issued to Micro Pipe were removed. As a result, the fair value of the warrants of $59,631 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on January 31, 2010.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized other expense of $11,253 and $21,225,850, respectively, related to recording derivative liabilities at fair value. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the derivative liability balance was $0 and $48,378, respectively.
Beneficial conversion feature and warrant-related derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions during the period ended September 30, 2010: dividend yield of 0%; volatility of 204% and a risk free interest rate of 0.13% for the beneficial conversion feature and 3.77% for the warrants.

Accounting for Debt Issued with Detachable Stock Purchase Warrants and Beneficial Conversion Features
The Company accounts for debt issued with stock purchase warrants by allocating the proceeds of the debt between the debt and the detachable warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants themselves, if the warrants are equity instruments. The relative fair value of the warrants are recorded as a debt discount and amortized to expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method which approximates the straight-line amortization method. At each balance sheet date, the Company makes a determination if these warrant instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity, and reclassifies them if the circumstances dictate.
In certain instances, the Company enters into convertible notes that provide for an effective or actual rate of conversion that is below market value, and the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for derivative treatment (a “BCF”). In these instances, we account for the value of the BCF as a debt discount, which is then amortized to expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method, which approximates the straight-line amortization method (see Note 5).
Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to its accounting guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosure. The guidance affects the disclosures made about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
2. ANTONOV STRATEGIC COOPERATION AGREEMENT
On July 1, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Antonov USA, pursuant to which it issued to American Defense Investments, LLC and TUSA Acquisition Corporation an aggregate of 383,793 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, each of which is convertible into 500 shares of our common stock, and votes together with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis. Additionally, the preferred stock has non-dilution protection for subsequent issuances of common stock, including any conversion of currently outstanding warrants and convertible debt. As a result of the merger, the Company acquired their company, Antonov USA. The only identifiable asset of Antonov USA was a relationship with Antonov Company, which would have allowed the Company to submit bids for contracts relating to the KC-X Tanker Modernization Program. Management used its judgment in estimating the value of the preferred shares and the value of the relationship acquired in the merger.
As a result of the above, on July 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Antonov Company. Established in 1946, Antonov is a state-owned commercial company in Kiev, Ukraine, where it operates Antonov Airlines, Antonov Airport and is responsible for the design and manufacturing of dozens of different types of aircraft, including the world’s first and second largest aircraft, the AN-225 Mriya and AN-124 Condor strategic airlifters, and the AN-148 and AN-158 commercial airliners.

On July 9, 2010, the Company submitted a response to the Request for Proposal from the U.S. Air Force for the KC-X Tanker Modernization Program. If the Company’s bid was successful, the aircraft components would have been built by Antonov Company in Ukraine, with final assembly by us in the U.S. The U.S. Air Force claimed that the bid was untimely and failed to consider it. On August 2, 2010, the Company submitted a bid protest to the General Accounting Office (“GAO”). On October 6, 2010, the GAO denied Company’s bid protest. After comprehensive discussions of the Government Accountability Office’s decision, including the advice of counsel, the new management of the Company has determined that it will not continue to pursue its bid to supply the U.S. Air Force with its next generation of aerial refueling tankers.
Management performed its assessment of the fair value of the relationship with Antonov Company at September 30, 2010. In this undertaking, management analyzed the projected cash flow from the assets discounted at appropriate rates, the length of time to full development of the cash flow potential and the current recessionary state of the world-wide economy. Management determined after this analysis that it was appropriate to record an impairment charge equal to the net book value of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Antonov.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND SALE OF NCR
Effective August 27, 2010, the Company discontinued operations and sold the unprofitable remanufacturing subsidiary, New Century Remanufacturing, Inc. (“NCR”), to our former directors, David Duquette and Josef Czikmantori, for $1 and an indemnity from all of NCR’s liabilities. As such, we are no longer in the machine tool business and are focused solely on aerospace and defense.
NCR had no operations during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as the facility was effectively idled. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, NCR had revenues of $407,805, cost of good sold of $741,356, SG&A expenses of $642,018 producing a loss from operations of $905,569.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, NCR had revenues of $644,609 and $3,058,941 respectively, cost of goods sold of $653,060 and $2,665,683 respectively, SG&A expenses of $593,247 and $1,337,504 respectively producing a loss from operations of $601,698 and $944,246 respectively.
As of the sale date, August 27, 2010, NCR had current assets of $311,503, total assets of $615,573, and current and total liabilities of $2,373,000 (see table in this Note 2). As of September 30, 2009, NCR had $905,782 in current assets, $1,129,198 in total assets, and $5,772,207 in current and total liabilities.
The Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.2 million based on the sale of the net liabilities of NCR. The operations associated with NCR and the gain on sale will be classified as income (loss) from discontinued operations subsequent to the date of sale. Prior to reclassification, the operations associated with this transaction were classified into our “CNC machine tool remanufacturing” segment. Summarized balance sheet information for NCR as of August 27, 2010 is set forth below:

4. ACQUISITION OF PRECISION AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.
On October 9, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with PAI and Michael Cabral pursuant to which Cabral, as the sole shareholder of PAI, agreed to transfer to the Company, and the Company agreed to acquire from Cabral, all of the capital stock of PAI (the “PAI Shares”) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “NCCI shares”) with an acquisition-date fair value of $900,000 and the delivery of a promissory note of the Company (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 payable from the proceeds of any equity financing with gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 provided that the investors in such financing permit the proceeds thereof to be used for such purpose (see Note 8).
Additionally, at such time (the “Vesting Date”) as the cumulative net income of PAI is at least $3,000,000 for the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on October 9, 2012 the Company will issue to Cabral warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The Warrants will be for a term of the earlier of three years from the Vesting Date or January 1, 2014, and shall have an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The Warrant vests immediately on the Vesting Date and the estimated acquisition-date fair value of the Warrants was $540,000 (based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model).
The Company acquired PAI to position itself for growth in the aerospace business, which is projected to grow at a 5% compounded annual rate for the next 20 years. PAI complements the Company’s machining capabilities in an industry that shows more growth in comparison to machine tooling.
The terms of the purchase were the result of arms-length negotiations. There was no material relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and PAI or Cabral, on the other hand. Cabral is currently our President and a member of our Board of Directors
The pro forma combined historical results, as if PAI had been acquired as of January 1, 2009, are estimated as follows (unaudited):
                 
    Three Months     Nine Months  
    Ended     Ended

The pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition actually been made at such date, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.
5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized. The Company allocates its goodwill to its various reporting units, determines the carrying value of those businesses, and estimates the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future undiscounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Management performed its assessment of the fair value of the intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In this undertaking, management analyzed the projected cash flow from the assets discounted at appropriate rates, the length of time to full development of the cash flow potential and the current recessionary state of the world-wide economy. Management determined after this analysis that it was appropriate to record an impairment charge of $11,513,790 consisting of the net book value of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Antonov. This impairment charge reduces the net book value of the asset to zero.

The last monthly contractual payment on the CAMOFI note was made in October 2008 and no payments have been made on the CAMHZN Note which were scheduled to begin on September 1, 2008. As a result, these are events of default under the terms of the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, if any event of default occurs, the full principal amount of the note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become, at the note holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.

Micro Pipe Note Payable
On November 12, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Micro Pipe Fund I, LLC for the receipt of a Secured Loan of $150,000 (the “Micro Pipe Loan”). The loan accrued interest at a rate of 2% per month and matured on January 5, 2010. In connection with the Micro Pipe Loan, the Company granted 500,000 immediately vested five year warrants with a term of five years and an exercise price of $0.20 (“Micro Pipe Warrants”), which were cancelled effective January 31, 2010.
Before being cancelled, the Micro Pipe Warrants had an exercise feature that was the same as the anti-dilution provision in the CAMOFI Warrants (See Note 5). Consequently, the warrants were also treated as a derivative liability. The Company recorded at issuance a $108,101 derivative liability for the Micro Pipe warrants. As discussed in Note 1, the anti-dilution provision of the warrants was cancelled effective January 31, 2010. As a result of the cancellation of the anti-dilution provision, the fair value of the warrant on such date ($59,631) was reclassified from derivative liability to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the warrant derivative was determined to be $0 and $48,378, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a change in fair value of the warrant derivative liability that resulted in a loss of $11,253, which is included in gain or loss on valuation of derivative liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The initial Micro Pipe Warrants derivative liability of $108,101 represented a discount from the face amount of the note payable. Such discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company amortized the balance of $10,003 to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In March 2010, the Company issued 71,429 shares of restricted common stock in lieu of penalties on its loan payable. The common stock was recorded at the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of the transaction. Approximately $12,000 was expensed to interest at the time of issuance and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In May 2010, the Company repaid the Micro Pipe loan with proceeds from the Convertible Notes issued to CAMOFI and to CAMZHN. In addition, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $45,000 (based on the closing market price on the effective date) in settlement of accrued interest and cancellation of warrants.

KC-X Tanker Bid
On July 6, 2010, we entered into a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Antonov to bid on the request for proposal from the U.S. Air Force for the KC-X Tanker Modernization Program. The U.S. Air Force denied our request for an extension of the bidding deadline on July 8, 2010, and as a result, we bid only one model of aircraft, the AN-112KC. We then submitted a response to the Request for Proposal from the U.S. Air Force for the KC-X Tanker Modernization Program which was deemed untimely by the U.S. Air Force and we therefore appealed the decision to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). On October 6 2010 the GAO has denied Company’s bid protest in connection with the KC-X Tanker Modernization Project. After comprehensive discussions of the Government Accountability Office’s decision, including the advice of counsel, the new management of the Company has determined that it will not continue to pursue its bid to supply the U.S. Air Force with its next generation of aerial refueling tankers.

Our aircraft component products include wing ribs, stringers, spars, longerons, bulkheads, frames, engine mounts, chords, and fittings. In addition, we design and fabricate tools and fixtures.
The Company continues to incur operating losses for each of the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. This was a result of a dramatic decrease in sales for the remanufacturing business. The Company’s current strategy is to focus solely on aerospace and defense, to increase orders through current customers and sales methods, and to partner with leading aerospace and defense manufacturers throughout the world to jointly bid and supply aircraft parts and components to major defense contractors and the U.S. military. As part of this strategy, effective August 27, 2010, the Company discontinued the operations and sold its unprofitable remanufacturing subsidiary, New Century Remanufacturing, Inc. (“NCR”), to the Company’s former directors, David Duquette and Josef Czikmantori, for $1 and an indemnity from all of NCR’s liabilities. As such, the Company is no longer in the machine tool business, and is focused solely on aerospace and defense.
However, significant growth will require additional funds in the form of debt or equity, or a combination thereof which the Company believes is available to it. The Company’s growth strategy also includes strategic mergers in addition to growing the current business. A significant acquisition will require additional financing.
HIGHLIGHTS
Since new directors joined our Board of Directors in April 2010, we have instituted a new business plan to increase our growth in the aerospace and defense business. We have sought and entered into Strategic Cooperation Agreements with leading aircraft manufacturers to jointly bid on aerospace and defense projects. In addition, we have instituted new corporate governance procedures, divested our non-profitable non-aerospace businesses, restructured existing debt and brought it current, reached arrangements with creditors to resolve prior payment issues, and obtained additional financing. These events along with other corporate issues have resulted in the following:
      Reorganized the Company under a new board of directors comprised of experts in the field of government contracting, financial, accounting, and legal.
      Appointed Jim Worsham, an aerospace veteran, as the Company’s Chief Executive
      Adopted improved corporate governance procedures to further ensure timely and accurate disclosure to stockholders and formed various committees such as, Nominating & Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee
      The Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics, applicable to all Company officers, directors and employees, including senior financial officers
      Decreased our cost of operations with the divesture our non-performing division NCR, and received full indemnity on all liabilities and eliminating all other outstanding NCR related issues
      Retained the assistance of outside independent financial advisors to identify and secure financial support for our business plan that focuses and defines what directions of growth should be targeted within the Aerospace & Defense industry, both domestically and internationally.
      Modified our international relationships with established companies in China and Ukraine.
      Labor cost has been reduced by 20%.
      Company’s executives are on an aggressive marketing campaign with existing and new component manufacturing clients to expand the core base of the Precision Aerostructures division.
      Company has identified and is exploring potential acquisitions of other component manufacturers in the aerospace industry who specialize in manufacturing aerospace components with a different client base that will diversify and expand the U.S. Aerospace customer base.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009.
Net Revenues . We generated net revenues of $660,144 and $1,434,344 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 for PAI. The NCR business has been discontinued and sold as of August 27, 2010 and therefore is presented as a discontinued operation (see Note 2). PAI was acquired as of October 9, 2009 (see Note 3), and therefore there is no comparable revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Gross (Loss) Profit. Gross (loss) profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $334,777 and $564,822 for PAI. PAI was acquired as of October 9, 2009 (see Note 3), and therefore there is no comparable gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Operating Expenses. The Company incurred total operating expenses of $12,491,724 and $14,800,119 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus $66,166 and $108,525 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, which was a $12,425,558 and a $14,691,594 increase, respectively.
The increase in operating expenses is due to the impairment charge of $11,513,790 relating to the strategic cooperation agreement with Antonov and an increase in consulting and other compensation from the amortization of 3,000,000 warrants issued to a consultant and 5,000,000 options issued for marketing consulting during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. All operating expenses increased due to additional costs related to the operations of Precision Aerostructures, Inc. which was acquired in October 2009. The operating expenses of NCR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been reclassified into discontinued operations.
Operating Loss from Continuing Operations. Operating loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $12,156,947 and $14,235,297 compared to $$66,166 and $$108,525 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in loss of $12,090,781 and $14,126,772, respectively, is primarily due to the impairment charge for the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, the acquisition of PAI, the reclassification of NCR as a discontinued operation and due to increased consulting services for new aerospace marketing and service contracts.
Interest Expense and Debt Discount Amortization. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $503,050 and $2,994,094 as compared with $1,064,798 and $2,685,653for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of 53% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 is due to the ending of the amortization of the discounts on the convertible notes as of August 1, 2010 and to the repayment of the Micro Pipe note. The increase of 11% in interest expense in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 versus 2009 is due to additional interest and discount amortization on thirteen new convertible notes during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 (See Note 5).
Other Expense. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred 0 and $11,253 respectively of a loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities versus $19,649,947 and $21,225,850 respectively of a loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decline in the loss on valuation is due to the renegotiation and elimination of the terms of the convertible securities which gave rise to the derivative treatment (see Note 1).
Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations . The NCR subsidiary was discontinued and sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. As such, the 2009 NCR numbers were reclassified as discontinued. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had net income of $1,172,793 and $267,224 versus a net loss of $535,532 and $835,721 for the comparable periods of 2009. NCR had no operations in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and therefore the increase in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is due solely to the gain on the sale of the operation. Until the third quarter and the sale of NCR, the subsidiary continued to incur operating losses due to the reduction in revenue and the cost of salaries and other expenses of maintaining the operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
The net increase in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $18,590. The cash used in operating activities was $628,713.

This was offset by an increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest of $919,984 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $408,210.
Cash was provided from investing activities of $50,000 from a contribution of a partner related to the return of a deposit on equipment that was not purchased.
Cash provided by financing activities was $597,303 mainly from the issuance of convertible notes with net proceeds of $850,000 offset by principal payments on notes and capital leases of $294,235.
The net decrease in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $28,735.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $859,242 cash was used in operating activities due mainly from the net loss of $24,860,068 offset by the non-cash loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $21,225,850 and the amortization of the debt discount of $1,901,039. Other operating activities are now reclassified as discontinued operations, but provided cash through a decrease in accounts receivable of $221,420 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $607,079.

The net decrease in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $31,889.
INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
We do not foresee any adverse effects on its earnings as a result of inflation or changing prices.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, accounts receivable, doubtful accounts and inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies stated below are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 for significant accounting policies.
Other significant accounting policies not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements. The policies related to consolidation and loss contingencies require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Certain of these matters are among topics currently under reexamination by accounting standards setters and regulators. Although no specific conclusions reached by these standards setters appear likely to cause a material change in our accounting policies, outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence. Also see Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which discusses accounting policies that must be selected by management when there are acceptable alternatives.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
For the period ended September 30, 2010, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who was also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded as of September 30, 2010 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed below. Our Board of Directors has begun taking major steps to correct these deficiencies, as outlined below.
Corrections of Material Weaknesses
We have begun implementing comprehensive entity-level internal controls, which we had not done as of September 30, 2010, as evidenced by the following changes:
    We have established an independent Audit Committee responsible for the oversight of the financial reporting process, and an Audit Committee Charter has been defined. We previously did not have any independent members of the Board who could comprise this committee.
    We have established a Whistle Blower program for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the issuer regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the issuer of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.
    We have three individuals on our Board, who serve on the Audit Committee, who meet the “Financial Expert” criteria.
    We maintain documentation evidencing quarterly and other meetings between the Board, Audit Committee, senior financial managers and our outside general counsel. Such meetings include reviewing and approving quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and reviewing on-going activities to determine if there are any potential audit related issues which may warrant involvement and follow-up action by the Board or Audit Committee.
    We are establishing a formal fraud assessment process to identify and design adequate internal controls to mitigate those risks not deemed to be acceptable.
    We are conducting performance reviews and evaluations of our management and staff employees.
We have begun acquiring a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in GAAP, as evidenced by the following changes:
    The Controller is still the only individual with technical accounting experience in our company and has limited in the exposure to SEC filings and disclosures, but now has assistance from the Audit Committee members and outside counsel.
    We are consulting with other outside parties with accounting experience to assist us in the SEC filings and disclosures, including Audit Committee members and outside counsel. We were previously unable to do this and as a result, our independent registered public accounting firm recorded numerous adjusting entries.

Table of Contents

    We have begun segregating the duties of different personnel within our accounting group, which we were previously unable to do due to an insufficient complement of staff and inadequate management oversight.
We have begun to design and implement internal controls as follows:
    The controls identified in the process documentation were previously not designed effectively and had no evidence of operating effectiveness for testing purposes.
    The controls identified in the previous process documentation did not cover all the risks for the specific process.
    The controls identified in the previous process documentation did not cover all applicable assertions for the significant accounts.
Due to the prior material weaknesses identified at our entity level we did not test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As set forth above, there have been significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Inherent limitations exist in any system of internal control including the possibility of human error and the potential of overriding controls. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. The effectiveness of an internal control system may also be affected by changes in conditions.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
On July 12, 2010, NCR’s landlord filed an unlawful detainer action against it in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Fan v. New Century Remanufacturing, Inc., et al ., Case No. VC056735, to recover $391,000 in past due rent and possession of its facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California. The case remains pending. We have sold our interest in NCR and received an indemnity from its management. Litigation can be expensive and unpredictable, and there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any case. However, we do not believe we should have any material liability in connection with this action.
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factors set forth in our most recent annual report, recent developments have resulted in further risks, including the risk factors listed below. Risks and uncertainties in addition to those we describe below, that may not be presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also harm our business and operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed, the price of our common stock could decline, and future events and circumstances could differ significantly from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
We are dependent on AVIC and Antonov to supply aircraft and components, and information necessary for our RFP responses.
We are dependent upon AVIC in China, Antonov Company in Ukraine, and potentially other foreign partners to supply the aircraft and components for our commercial bids and RFP responses, and to supply the information necessary for the bid process. Designing and manufacturing new aircraft, or modifying existing aircraft to meet new requirements, is time consuming, difficult and expensive, with uncertain results. We cannot give any assurance that the information supplied by AVIC, Antonov or others will be adequate or sufficient to meet the RFP requirements, or that they will timely deliver the planes if our bid is successful. If they fail to perform for any reason, we would likely be unable to win the bid or supply the planes if selected, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 20, 2010 we issued 1 million shares of common stock to two consultants who coordinate our efforts with Antonov Company in Kiev, Ukraine, and agreed to issue an additional 1 million shares if they meet designated performance criteria. The issuance was exempt from registration as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
On August 20, 2010, we instructed our transfer agent to issue 5 million shares and agreed to issue an additional 10 million shares to Omnicom Holdings pursuant to a stipulated settlement in an action filed by Omnicom for a $1.5 million commission claimed due in connection with our agreement with Antonov. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act as an issuance approved by a court after a hearing upon the fairness of its terms and conditions.
