AIR T, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.

Financial Statement Presentation


1. 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.

It is suggested that these

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, 2018.2019. The results of operations for the periodsperiod ended September 30, 2019 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.

RecentlyAdopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,

Discontinued Operations
On September 30, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and created Topic 606 (ASC 606), requiring an entity to recognizeCompany completed the amountsale of revenue to which it expects to be entitledGlobal Aviation Services, LLC ("GAS"). The results of operations of GAS are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the transfer of promised goods or servicesthree and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Refer to customers. ASC 606 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effectiveFootnote 4 - "Discontinued Operations" for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

Effective April 1, 2018,additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the Company adopteddisclosures accompanying the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 will be presented according to ASU 2014-09 while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies. The Company applied the standard to all open contracts at the date of the initial application. The main area impacted by ASU 2014-09 includes the recognition of revenue with the Company’s Ground Equipment Sales segment transitioning from percentage of completion to point in time for its government contracts which are included in the product sales revenue stream. Additionally, certain repair service revenues which were previously recorded at a point-in-time upon completion of service are now recognized over-time. Due to the short-term nature of these contracts, over-time recognition does not result in a material difference from point-in-time recognition. The Company calculated the transition adjustment based on the open contracts at April 1, 2018 and concluded that there was an immaterial impact due to the adoption of ASC 606 and thus has not recorded the adjustment.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, that amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments (Subtopic 825-10). ASU 2016-01 becomes effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. ASU 2016-01 removes equity securities from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 and creates ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities. Under the new guidance, all equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value on the statement of financial position, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The update eliminates the option to record changes in the fair value of equity securities through other comprehensive income. Transitional guidance provided that entities with unrealized gains or losses on available for sale (“AFS”) equity securities were required to reclassify those amounts to beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-01 as of April 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has reclassified the beginning amount of accumulated other comprehensive income related to AFS securities to accumulated deficit and all changes in fair values of these securities are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of income (loss) for the period.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 clarifies how cash receipts and cash payments in certain transactions are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The update requires retrospective application to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application is impracticable. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-15 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’scondensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016,statements reflect the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the changes in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted cash balance. Amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows. Further, the ASU requires a reconciliation of balances from the statement of cash flows to the balance sheet in situations in which the balance sheet includes more than one-line item of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Companies will also be disclosing the nature of the restrictions. ASU 2016-18 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-18 as of April 1, 2018. The impact of ASU 2016-18 on its financial statements was as follows: (1) changes in restricted cash balances are no longer shown in the statements of cash flows as previously presented in investing activities, as these balances are now included in the beginning and ending cash balances in the statements of cash flows; and (2) included within Note 4 is a reconciliation between cash balances presented on the balance sheets with the amounts presented in the statements of cash flows. The Company continued to hold restricted cash as of September 30, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2017-01 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. This update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2017-01 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which provides guidance on hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The provisions in this standard create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes, for investors and analysts. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal years before the effective date of the standard. The Company early adopted the guidance and designated both interest rate swaps as effective hedging arrangements as of August 1, 2018. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the derivatives subsequent to August 1, 2018 are now reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In February 2018, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01, including the measurement of equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, forward contracts and purchased options and presentation of certain fair value option liabilities. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new standards as of September 30, 2018. Adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Company's continuing operations.

Recently Issued AdoptedAccounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). as amended by multiple standards updates. The new standard provides that a lessee should recognize the assets and the liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases. Under the new requirements, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing the right to the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from the previous GAAP.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requiresTopic 842 permits two transition methods: (1) a modified retrospective transition method requiring retrospective adjustment of each comparative presented with an adjusting entry at the option tobeginning of the earliest comparative period presented and (2) a modified retrospective approach with no restatement of prior periods and an adjusting entry as of the effective date. Under both transition methods, entities may elect a package of practical expedients. There are threecertain transition practical expedients for which an election mustthat would be maderequired to apply and the election must be applied to all leases.
The Company adopted the standard in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method that does not require retrospective adjustment of the comparative periods. The Company reviewed existing leases as follows:

1. Packageto determine the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. Implementation had an immaterial cumulative effect on retained earnings. Adoption resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $10.7 million, and lease liabilities of approximately $11.2 million.

Upon adoption, the Company elected practical expedients related to permit an entity to a) short term lease exemption b) not separate lease and non-lease components c) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, b)d) not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and c)e) not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard.

2. Hindsight practical expedient – to permit an entity to use hindsight in determining the lease term.

The Company expects to adopt the standard using a full retrospective approach and elect to apply all of the practical expedients available and applicable. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.


Recently Issued 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. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its 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 standard is effective for any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until theirare effective date. The Company is currently evaluating but has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.

The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

Revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted on April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. As substantially

2. RevenueRecognition
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less, as a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude consideration of significant financing components from the determination of transaction price, to expense costs incurred to obtain a contract, and to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations.

The following is a description of the Company’s performance obligations.

obligations:

Type of Revenue

Nature, Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations, and Significant Payment Terms

Product Sales

The Company generates revenue from sales of various distinct products such as parts, aircraft equipment, printing equipment, jet engines, airframes, and scrap metal to its customers. A performance obligation is created when the Company accepts an order from a customer to provide a specified product. Each product ordered by a customer represents a performance obligation.


The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs at a point-in-time upon shipment or when control is transferred to the customer. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are at fixed amounts based on standalone selling prices. While the majority of the Company's contracts do not have variable consideration, for the limited number of contracts that do, the Company records revenue based on the standalone selling price less an estimate of variable consideration (such as rebates, discounts or prompt payment discounts). The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected incentive amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue accordingly. Performance obligations are short-term in nature and customers are typically billed upon transfer of control. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue.


The terms and conditions of the customer purchase orders or contracts are dictated by either the Company’s standard terms and conditions or by a master service agreement or by the contract.

Support Services

The Company provides a variety of support services such as aircraft maintenance, printer maintenance, and short-term repair services to its customers. Additionally, the Company operates certain aircraft routes on behalf of FedEx. A performance obligation is created when the Company agrees to provide a particular service to a customer. For each service, the Company recognizes revenues over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. This revenue recognition can vary from when the Company has a right to invoice to the output or input method depending on the structure of the contract and management’s analysis.


For repair-type services, the Company records revenue over-time based on an input method of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The Company believes this is appropriate as the Company is enhancing an asset that the customer controls as repair work, such as labor hours are incurred, and parts installed, is being performed. The vast majority of repair-services are short term in nature and are typically billed upon completion of the service.


Some of the Company’s contracts contain a promise to stand ready as the Company is obligated to perform certain maintenance or administrative services. For most of these contracts, the Company applies the 'as invoiced' practical expedient as the Company has a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the entity's performance completed to date. A small number of contracts are accounted for as a series and recognized equal to the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to less an estimate of variable consideration (typically rebates). These services are typically ongoing and are generally billed on a monthly basis.


In addition to the above type of revenues, the Company also has Leasing Revenue, which is in scope under Topic 840842 (Leases) and out of scope under Topic 606 and Other Revenues (Freight, Management Fees, etc.) which are immaterial for disclosure under Topic 606.

The Company’s purchase price accounting reflects the estimated net fair value of the AirCo Sellerscontract assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the AirCo Closing Date.

The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because AirCo was a non-marketed transactionApril 1, 2019 and in financial distress at the time of the acquisition. The inventory was not being marketed appropriately and as a result, the company was unable to realize market prices for the parts. The tax impact related to the bargain purchase gain was to record a deferred tax liability and record tax expense against the bargain purchase gain of approximately $278,000.  The resulting net bargain purchase gain after taxes was approximately $502,000.

Employee and Non-employee Stock Options

Air T, Inc. maintains a stock option plan



10.  Leases
The Company has operating leases for the benefituse of real estate, machinery, and office equipment. The majority of our leases have a lease term of 2 to 5 years; however, we have certain eligible employeesleases with longer terms of up to 30 years. Many of our leases include options to extend the lease for an additional period.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor that is considered likely to be exercised.
Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for some of our leases, variable payments. Variable payments are typically operating costs associated with the underlying asset and directors. In addition, Delphax maintains a number of stock option plans. Compensation expense isare recognized overwhen the requisite service period for stock optionsevent, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are expected to vest based on their grant-date fair values. assessed occurs. Our leases do not contain residual value guarantees.
The Company useshas elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component and not to recognize leases on the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted under the Air T, Inc. plan and the Delphax plans. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expectedbalance sheet with an initial term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-freeone year or less.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, and dividend yield. Manyas such the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The components of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.

No options were granted under Air T, Inc.’s stock option plan during the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. A total of 1,682 options were exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 at a weighted average exercise price of $10.56.

Variable Interest Entities

12. Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810 - Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

The Company concluded that its investments in Delphax’s equity and debt, and its investment in the Warrant,Delphax warrant, each constituted a variable interest. In addition, the Company concluded that it became the primary beneficiary of Delphax on November 24, 2015. The Company consolidated Delphax in its consolidated financial statements beginning on that date.

The short-term debt is comprised of amounts due from Delphax to Air T, Inc. Those amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Note was approximately $725,000 ($900,000 as of March 31, 2018) and there were no borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. Short-term debt as reflected in the above table includes approximately $1,048,000 and $888,000 of accrued interest, due to the Company from Delphax Technologies, Inc. under the Senior Subordinated Note as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. As a result of the foreclosure completed

Upon petition by the Company, on August 10,8, 2017 the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement was satisfied.

The assets of Delphax can only be used to satisfy the obligations of Delphax. Furthermore, Delphax’s creditors do not have recourse to the assets of Air T, Inc. or its subsidiaries.


On January 6, 2017, the Company notified Delphax and Delphax Canada of certain “Events of Default” (as defined under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement) existing under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that the Company was reserving all rights to exercise remedies under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that no delay in exercising any such remedy is to be construed as a waiver of any of its remedies. Also, on January 6, 2017, the Company and Delphax Canada entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement dated as of January 6, 2017, which amended the Senior Subordinated Note to increase the default rate of interest from an annual rate of 10.5% to an annual rate of 18%, to be in effect until all amounts under the Senior Subordinated Note are paid in full, and which provides that so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note) occurs under the Senior Subordinated Note, other than Events of Default that existed as of January 6, 2017, the Company agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies under the Senior Subordinated Note until May 31, 2017 and further provided for the payment by Delphax Canada to the Company of a forbearance fee equal to approximately $141,000. Notwithstanding the existence of events of default, during the first six calendar months of 2017, the Company permitted additional borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement to, among other things, fund a final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for its legacy printing systems, which production run was primarily completed over that period. Delphax Canada was Delphax's sole manufacturing subsidiary.

In light of continuing events of default under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and the conclusion of final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for Delphax’s legacy printing systems, on July 13, 2017, the Company delivered a demand for payment and Notice of Intention to Enforce Security to Delphax Canada. On August 10, 2017, the Company foreclosed on all personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada. The Company foreclosed as a secured creditor with respect to amounts owed to it by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. The Company provided notice of its intent to foreclose to Delphax Canada and its secured creditors and shareholders on July 26, 2017. The outstanding amount owed to the Company by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2017 was approximately $1,510,000. The Company also submitted an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency (the "Ontario Court") seeking that Delphax Canada be adjudged bankrupt. On August 8, 2017, the Ontario Court issued an order adjudging Delphax Canada to be bankrupt. The recipients of the foreclosure notice did not object to the foreclosure or redeem. As a result, the foreclosure was completed on August 10, 2017, and the Company accepted the personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada in satisfaction of the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.

With it being adjudged bankrupt on August 8, 2017, Delphax Canada ceased to have capacity to deal with its property. The property, of Delphax Canadawhich then vested in the trustee in bankruptcy of Delphax Canada subject to the rights of secured creditors. The Company’s rights under Delphax Senior Credit Agreement permitted it to foreclose upon the personal property and rights of undertakings of Delphax Canada. Since the Company foreclosed on Delphax Canada’s assets within very close time proximity to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and because the bankruptcy and foreclosure were undertaken in contemplation of one another, the Company treated these as one single financial reporting event. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered whether Delphax Canada was still a business post-bankruptcy and foreclosure of the assets by the Company and concluded that Delphax Canada no longer constituted a business as it is defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, derecognition of Delphax Canada’s liabilities will occur when Delphax Canada is legally released as the primary obligor with respect to the liabilities in the bankruptcy proceedings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoingfinalized in accordance with Canadian law and, therefore, Delphax Canada was still the primary obligorlegally discharged of its liabilities.

The intercompany balances underconclusion of the bankruptcy proceedings also resulted in the dissolution of Delphax Senior Subordinated NoteCanada. In addition, on June 11, 2019, the Company has also fully dissolved Delphax UK. As such, the only Delphax entity that remains in existence as of September 30, 2018 are eliminated in2019 is Delphax France. The Company extinguished the presentationassets and liabilities of Delphax Canada and Delphax UK during the consolidated financial statements.

quarter ended June 30, 2019 and recognized a gain on dissolution of entities of $4,509,302.

Delphax’s revenues and expenses are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning November 24, 2015 through September 30, 2018.2019. Revenues and expenses prior to the date of initial consolidation were excluded. We have determined that the attribution of Delphax net income or loss should be based on consideration of all of Air T’s investments in Delphax and Delphax Canada. The WarrantDelphax warrant ("Delphax warrant") provides that in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax, the holder of the WarrantDelphax warrant is entitled to participate in such dividends on a ratable basis as if the WarrantDelphax warrant had been fully exercised and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon such exercise had been converted into shares of Delphax common
26





stock. This provision would have entitled Air T, Inc. to approximately 67% of any Delphax dividends paid, with the remaining 33% paid to the non-controlling interests. We concluded that this was a substantive distribution right which should be considered in the attribution of Delphax net income or loss to non-controlling interests. We furthermore concluded that our investment in the debt of Delphax should be considered in attribution. Specifically, Delphax’s net losses are attributed first to our Series B Preferred Stock and WarrantDelphax warrant investments and to the non-controlling interest (67%/33%) until such amounts are reduced to zero. Additional losses are then fully attributed to our debt investments until they too are reduced to zero.0. This sequencing reflects the relative priority of debt to equity. Any further losses are then attributed to Air T and the non-controlling interests based on the initial 67%/33% share. Delphax net income is attributed using a backwards-tracing approach with respect to previous losses.


As a result of the application of the above-described attribution methodology, for the quarters ended September 30, 20182019 and September 30, 20172018 the attribution of Delphax losses to non-controlling interests was 33% and 0%33%, respectively.

The following table sets forth the revenue and expenses of Delphax prior to intercompany eliminations that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities and Other Entities

As discussed in Note 3, BCCM Advisors holds equity interests in certain investment funds as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Company determined that the equity interests it holds as the general partner in the following funds are variable interests based on the applicable GAAP guidance: Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III LP, Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO LP and AO Partners II LP. However, the Company further determined that these funds should not be consolidated as BCCM Advisors is not the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities. The Company determined that its equity interest in the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd. is not a variable interest and should not be consolidated based on the applicable GAAP guidance. The Company’s total investment within these investment funds at September 30, 2018 is valued at approximately $343,000. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its initial investment.

As discussed in Note 8, the Company has an investment in Oxbridge RE NS in the amount of $2,000,000. The Company determined that this investment represents a variable interest based on the applicable GAAP guidance. However, the Company further determined that the Company should not consolidate Oxbridge RE NS as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its initial investment.

Impact of Inflation

Significant increases in inflation rates could, however, have a material impact on future revenue and operating income.
