Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Because our common stock is deemed a "penny" stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment. Until the trading price of the common stock increases so that it no longer qualifies as a "penny stock," if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to: - Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;- Disclose certain price information about the stock;- Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;- Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and - In some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future. Such penny stock rules may also have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 31
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1We operate in cyclical industries and an economic downturn could negatively impact our operations.
Historically, adverse conditions in the local, regional, national and global economies have negatively affected our operations, and may continue to negatively affect our operations in the future. Such adverse economic conditions include recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customer business cycles, labor and supply shortages, global uncertainty and instability, inflation, changes in U.S. social, political, and regulatory conditions, tariffs and disruptions in the gaming and aerospace markets. During periods of economic contraction, our revenues may decrease while some of our costs remain fixed or even increase, resulting in decreased earnings. Adverse economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. The gaming activities that we offer involve consumer discretionary expenditures and participation in such activities may decline during economic downturns, during which consumers generally earn less disposable income. An uncertain economic outlook, particularly within the region of the gaming facility, may adversely affect consumer spending in our gaming operations and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. Our Aerospace Products business is subject to the general health of the aviation industry, which may be cyclical. During periods of economic expansion, when capital spending normally increases, we generally benefit from greater demand for our aviation products and services. During periods of economic contraction, when capital spending normally decreases, we generally are adversely affected by declining demand for our aerospace products and services. Similarly, the availability of aircraft from manufacturers has an impact on the orders received from customers requiring new aircraft. Such conditions may also inhibit our ability to obtain products and materials from our suppliers or may negatively impact the affordability of such products and materials. Aviation industry conditions are impacted by numerous factors over which we have no control, including political, regulatory, economic, technical staffing and military conditions, environmental concerns, weather conditions and fuel pricing. Any prolonged cyclical downturn may adversely affect customer demand in our Aerospace Products business and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 2Rising inflation has increased costs related to materials and labor, which has adversely impacted our operational capacity and lowered profitability.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index increased 2.4 percent in 2025 thus far. Many of our operating expenses are sensitive to increases in inflation including equipment prices, fuel costs, and employee-related costs. Insurance costs have also significantly increased with most major carriers. Furthermore, current inflationary pressures may increase costs for materials, supplies, and services. Rising inflation may also drive demand for increases in compensation for employees, which may result in increased labor costs. With increasing costs, we may have to increase our prices to maintain the same level of profitability. If we are unable to increase our prices sufficiently to offset increasing expenses, then inflation may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 3Our business requires financing and financing is dependent upon the stability of economic markets.
Our ability to manage and grow our business and to execute our business strategy is dependent, in part, on the continued availability of financing. Access to financing may be limited by various factors, including the condition of overall credit markets, the current high interest rate environment, general economic factors, state of the aviation or gaming industry, our financial performance, and credit ratings. Financing may not continue to be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on satisfactory terms, we may be precluded from maintaining or enhancing our properties, taking advantage of future opportunities, growing our business, acquiring new properties, or responding to competitive pressures. Our dependence on financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
