Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (“Broadwind Heavy Fabrications”), Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc. (“Brad Foote”) and Broadwind Industrial Solutions, LLC (“Broadwind Industrial Solutions”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, or any other interim period, which may differ materially due to, among other things, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Company Description Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean technology and other specialized applications. The Company provides technologically advanced high value products to customers with complex systems and stringent quality standards that operate in energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, primarily in the United States of America (the “U.S.”). The Company’s capabilities include, but are not limited to the following: heavy fabrications, welding, metal rolling, coatings, gear cutting and shaping, heat treatment, assembly, engineering and packaging solutions. The Company’s most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, which accounted for 68% and 72% of the Company’s revenue during the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Liquidity The Company typically meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, the Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment financing, and access to the public or private debt and/or equity markets, including the option to raise capital from the sale of our securities under the Form S-3 (as discussed below). See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete description of the Credit Facility and the Company’s other debt. Total debt and finance lease obligations at June 30, 2021 totaled $11,079, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $8,193. The Company's revolving line of credit balance is included in the line titled “Line of credit and other notes payable” line item in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. Long-term debt at December 31, 2020 included $9,151 of Payroll Protection Program loans (“PPP Loans”), which were forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The loan forgiveness is recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete description of the PPP Loans. On August 18, 2020, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2020 (the “Form S-3”) and expires on October 12, 2023. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows the Company at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, the Company would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes. On March 9, 2021, the Company entered into a $10,000 Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company issued 1,897,697 shares of the Company’s common stock thereunder during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of such shares were approximately $9,725 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $275 and before deducting other expenses of $376. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC. The ERC is available for wages paid through December 31, 2021 and is equal to 70% of qualified wages (which includes employer qualified health plan expenses) paid to employees. During each quarter of 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee is eligible for the ERC. Therefore, the maximum tax credit that can be claimed by an eligible employer in 2021 is $7,000 per employee per calendar quarter. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company received an ERC benefit of $3,372, which was recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company also qualified for the ERC in the second quarter of 2021 because it had a gross receipts decrease of more than 20% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2019, the relevant criteria for the ERC. As a result of the Company averaging 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, all wages paid to employees were eligible for the ERC (rather than only wages paid to employees not providing services). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $3,593 in “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company used $1,879 of this amount to reduce payroll tax payments. The receivable for the remaining ERC benefit was $1,714 as of June 30, 2021 and is included in the line titled “Employee retention credit receivable” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. The Company anticipates that current cash resources, expected cash proceeds or savings from the ERC, amounts available under the Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S-3 will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. If assumptions regarding the Company’s production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company’s large customers, as well as customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management’s expectations, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging variants and its effects on domestic and global economies, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. If the Company’s operational performance deteriorates significantly, it may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the Credit Facility. This could limit the Company’s operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require the Company to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other restrictions on the Company. While the Company believes that it will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate its businesses and to meet its financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that its operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to meet these financial obligations. Management’s Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and health insurance reserves. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and health insurance reserves. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
