Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Restatement: On February 14, 2020, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing that the consolidated Company’s financial statements, which were included in certain previously filed consolidated financial statements, and related financial information should no longer be relied upon, and disclosed that the consolidated financial statements will be restated. More detailed discussion can be found in Note 15, “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements”. Liquidity: On August 24, 2020, we entered into a Sixth Amendment and Waiver (“Sixth Amendment”) to our Credit Agreement with BankUnited. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, we also amended the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note, dated as of March 24, 2016, which represents an aggregate principal revolving loan commitment amount of $30 million (“Revolving Note”) and the Amended and Restated Term Note, dated as of March 24, 2016, with an original principal amount of $10 million (“Term Note”). Under the Sixth Amendment, and the related amendments to the Revolving Note and Term Note, an aggregate of $6 million of the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note was converted into and added to the outstanding balance on the Term Note. The availability under the Revolving Note was permanently reduced by $6 million, to $24 million, and the outstanding principal amount on the Term Note was increased to approximately $7,933,000. Additionally, under the Sixth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (i) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Note and Term Note to May 2, 2022, and making conforming changes to the payment schedule on the Term Note, (ii) amending the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant by requiring the ratio to be quarterly for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and then determined on a trailing twelve-month basis beginning on March 31, 2021, (iii) waiving the leverage covenant noncompliance for each quarter ended during the period from March 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The leverage covenant will not be tested for the four quarters from March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Then beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2021 the funded debt to EBITDA ratio shall be 4.0:1.0, tested on a trailing four quarter basis, (iv) reducing the minimum quarterly EBITDA covenant from $2 million to $1 million beginning on September 30, 2020, (v) maintaining a minimum net income, after taxes, of no less than $1.00, and (vi) replacing the interest pricing grid for the Revolving Note with an interest rate for Eurodollar loans of LIBOR plus 3.25% with a floor of 50 basis points or an interest rate for base rate loans equal to BankUnited’s prime rate plus 0.25%. Additionally, on April 10, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with BNB Bank as the lender (“Lender”) in an aggregate principal amount of $4,795,000 (“PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (“Note”). Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has an initial term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to the Lender for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the 24-week period beginning on April 10, 2020, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. The Note provides for customary events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender. The PPP Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. COVID-19: In March 2020, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, and has resulted in shelter in place orders. The Company has followed the recommendations of government and health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including having employees work modified hours or remotely since on or about March 19, 2020, practicing social distancing, and performing deep cleaning of its facilities. We have also taken actions to support our community in addressing challenges posed by the pandemic, including the donation of personal protective equipment. There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its employees, customers, suppliers, and liquidity. On March 20, 2020, the Company was notified that it was considered part of the Defense Industrial Base Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, and as such has remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our operations, as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, and the extent to which COVID-19 may affect our operations in future periods will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the duration of the outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or address its impact, among others. The Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and operating results. NYSE American Filing Delinquency: On April 17, 2020, we received a notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. stating that, because we failed to file restated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods on or before April 14, 2020, we were not in compliance with the NYSE American exchange’s continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the Company Guide. In accordance with Section 1007 of the Company Guide, we have six months from April 15, 2020, or until October 15, 2020, to file restated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods. The Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we will file immediately after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, along with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and the Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, together constitute such filing and, accordingly, as of the date of this filing we expect to regain compliance with the NYSE American exchange’s continued listing standards. G650 Order Stop-Work and Status On April 29, 2020, the Company received a letter from Triumph Group stating that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had received a significant schedule change from its customer, Gulfstream Aerospace, and requested CPI Aero immediately stop work on the contract we have to produce certain fixed leading edge assemblies on the wing of the G650 business jet. In May 2020, Triumph Group cancelled nearly all open orders with the Company, decreasing our G650 leading edge backlog by $3.6 million. On May 27, 2020, Triumph Group announced it had reached an agreement in principle to sell the G650 wing program to Gulfstream Aerospace. On June 12, 2020, the Company received a joint communication from Gulfstream Aerospace and Triumph Group that stated Gulfstream’s intention at the conclusion of the transaction is to continue to purchase G650 wing components from the Company and that they would provide further details to the Company in the coming weeks. The Company is unable to predict when the transaction between Gulfstream and Triumph Group will close or when Gulfstream will begin purchasing G650 wing components from us, if at all. Business Combinations: The Company completed the WMI Acquisition on December 20, 2018. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded the provisional fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The acquisition was considered a stock purchase for tax purposes. The purchase price for the acquisition was $7.9 million, which was subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. $2 million dollars of the purchase price was placed in escrow at closing and was to be released after the completion of the working capital adjustment and for the indemnification contingencies. The working capital adjustment is based on the historical values of components of working capital as defined in the SPA. The Company calculated a post-closing working capital adjustment. Air Industries formally objected to the calculation. The SPA provided the parties 30 days to come to an agreement on the working capital adjustment. The Company and Air Industries could not come to an agreement within the time specified and the issues were submitted to BDO for a binding resolution. During the course of BDO’s work, Air Industries conceded on three of the four items of contention, leaving only the inventory valuation in dispute. In its report dated September 3, 2019, BDO found in favor of the Company and that there should be no changes to the Closing Working Capital Statement as prepared by the Company. The result of the conceded items and BDO determination would decrease the purchase price of the acquisition by approximate $4.1 million. On September 16, 2019, the Company received a letter from Air Industries acknowledging the conceded items and, among other things, rejecting the determination by BDO. On September 27, 2019, the Company filed a notice of motion in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Air Industries seeking, among other things, an order of specific performance requiring Air Industries to comply with its obligations under the SPA and Escrow Agreement and a judgment against Air Industries in the amount of approximately $4.1 million. The parties argued the motion before the court on February 5, 2020. The court’s decision is pending. In October 2019, Air Industries and the Company jointly authorized the release of approximately $619,000 from escrow, which represents the value of the conceded items. The remaining escrowed amount of $1,381,000 is shown as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The additional disputed amount of approximately $2.1 million is not on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the uncertainty of collection. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded adjustments to the provisional estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from WMI related to the BDO determination. Due to new information discovered during the measurement period, adjustments were made to the current period. The Company has determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired and has recorded the fair value of the assets acquired as of December 31 2019 assuming only the collection of the remaining amount escrowed. Collection of the additional $2.1 million is uncertain. Legal Proceedings: Working Capital Dispute On September 27, 2019, the Company filed a notice of motion in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Air Industries in connection with a working capital dispute. The Company is seeking, among other things, (i) an order of specific performance requiring Air Industries to comply with its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and Air Industries on March 21, 2018 and the Escrow Agreement entered into between the Company and Air Industries on December 20, 2018, and (ii) a judgment against Air Industries in the amount of approximately $3.6 million. The parties argued the motion before the court on February 5, 2020. The court’s decision is pending. Class Action Lawsuit On February 24, 2020, Mark A. Rodriguez, a purported stockholder, filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, arising out of the errors in and restatements of our financial statements. On February 25, 2020, Russell Garrett, a purported stockholder, filed a second putative class action lawsuit against the Company and Messrs. McCrosson and Palazzolo, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, arising out of the same alleged facts. Each plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock from May 15, 2018 to February 14, 2020 (“Class Period”). The complaints are almost identical. Both complaints generally allege that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC by making false and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed during the Class Period and seek unspecified damages. On May 5, 2020, the court consolidated these two lawsuits. The court also appointed a lead plaintiff and approved plaintiff's selection of lead counsel. On May 20, 2020, the court ordered plaintiff to file a consolidated amended complaint within 30 days of the Company’s issuance of its restated financials. Shareholder Derivative Action On May 7, 2020, a shareholder derivative action was filed against current members of our board of directors and certain of our current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint, which is based substantially on the facts alleged in the class action complaints summarized above, purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act and breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company might incur as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct. The complaint also seeks declaratory, equitable, injunctive and monetary relief, and attorneys’ fees and other costs. On June 16, 2020, the court ordered plaintiff to file a consolidated amended complaint within 60 days of the Company’s issuance of its restated financials. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and the class action and derivative litigation are each still at an early stage, the Company and its officers and directors intend to vigorously defend against the claims and believe the claims are without merit. Books and Records Action On June 5, 2020, a lawsuit to compel inspection of books and records was filed against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York State, Suffolk County, captioned Berger v. CPI Aerostructures, Inc. The complaint, which is based substantially on the facts alleged in the class action complaints summarized above, seeks to compel the inspection of corporate books and records pursuant to New York common law. The complaint also seeks attorneys’ fees and other costs. The Company’s deadline to answer, move or otherwise respond to the complaint is August 31, 2020. SEC Investigation On May 22, 2020, the Company received a letter (the “SEC Letter”) from the SEC Division of Enforcement (the “Division”) indicating that the Division staff is conducting an investigation involving the Company. The SEC Letter states that the investigation is a non-public, fact finding inquiry where the Division staff is trying to determine whether there have been any violations of federal securities laws. As part of this investigation, the Division issued a subpoena to the Company seeking documents and information relating, among other things, to previously-disclosed errors in and restatements of, the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s October 16, 2018 equity offering and the recent separation of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officers. The SEC Letter states that the investigation and the subpoena do not mean that the Division staff has concluded that the Company or anyone else have violated the federal securities laws and that the investigation does not mean that the Division staff has a negative opinion of any person, entity or security. We intend to fully cooperate with the Division staff. We cannot predict the length, scope, or results of the investigation or the impact, if any, of the investigation on our results of operations.
