SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan On April 10, 2020, the Company obtained a loan from Dime Community Bank (formerly BNB Bank) as the lender (“Dime”), in the principal amount of $4,795,000 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). In November 2020, the Company submitted its forgiveness application and the loan necessity questionnaire to the SBA through Dime. On July 13, 2021, the Company received notification through Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon have been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan will be recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. Restatement due to Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves As previously reported, on June 4, 2021, the audit and finance committee (the “Audit and Finance Committee”) of the board of directors of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”), determined, based on the recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that the Company’s financial statements which were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of inventory costing and related internal controls (the “Inventory Costing Errors”) and that management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such periods should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s management identified the Inventory Costing Errors during its inventory testing procedures for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. At the time of the June 2021 disclosure, the Company estimated and disclosed that the Inventory Costing Errors were expected to increase 2020 net loss reported on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 by $1.9 million to $2.3 million. The Company has now determined that the Inventory Costing Errors increased 2020 net loss by $2,010,084. The correction of the Inventory Costing Errors resulted in the determination that certain contracts were in a loss position and certain inventory items required additional reserves. The Company re-evaluated the sufficiency of its provisions for loss contracts and inventory reserves that it had previously recorded and concluded that increases to these reserves were required. The insufficient reserves resulting from such reserve increases are referred to as “Additional Inventory Reserves” and “Loss Contract Reserve” and are together referred to as the “Insufficient Reserves.” It was further determined by management that the appropriate starting point for increasing the Insufficient Reserves was during the fourth quarter of 2019. On November 16, 2021, the Audit and Finance Committee determined, based on the analysis and recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick, that the Company’s financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of the Insufficient Reserves, that, similarly, management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such period should no longer be relied upon, and stated that the Company expected to restate its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC (the “Original Forms 10-Q”) by filing a comprehensive Form 10-K/A. The Company, upon conducting an analysis of the impact of the Insufficient Reserves on previously reported financial results, determined that net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $324,231 and $2,189,728, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Considering both the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, the Company determined that the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and the net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is $24,556 more than the net income reported in the Quarterly Report for such period. The Inventory Costing Errors resulted from software processing and coding errors, inconsistent units of measure being used for quantities ordered and quantities received of certain purchased parts, incorrect accruals to accounting periods of the cost of certain goods received and the Company not having a procedure to address over or under absorbed overhead costs at the end of accounting periods. The Inventory Costing Errors affected the income reported with respect to the Company’s product lines for which revenue is recognized when a product ships to customers, which accounted for approximately 15% of total 2020 revenue (the “Non-POC Contracts”). The Inventory Costing Errors did not affect income reported with respect to the Company’s products for which revenue is recognized over time using percentage of completion accounting (the “POC Contracts”). The Loss Contract Reserve and the Additional Inventory Reserves also only affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s Non-POC Contracts, and do not affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s POC Contracts. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect either prior reported revenue or cash flow for fiscal 2020 and 2019. Management has considered the effect of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves on the Company’s prior conclusions of the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the applicable periods. As a result of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, management has determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Part II Item 9A – Controls and Procedures within this Comprehensive Form 10-K/A for a description of these matters. As a result of the restatement included herein caused by the Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves, the Company is reporting herein net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 which is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 which is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Original Forms 10-Q, and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 which is $24,556 greater than the net income reported in the Original Form 10-Q. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect reported revenue or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, or for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2020. This Comprehensive Form 10-K/A contains our audited restated annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as our unaudited restated quarterly financial statements as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The restatement is discussed in more detail within Note 17, “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements”. Amendments to BankUnited Facility On May 11, 2021, we entered into the Seventh Amendment. Under the Seventh Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to July 31, 2022, and (b) amending the leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending on and after March 31, 2021, to 4.0 to 1.0, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four-quarter period then ended (or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, determined on an annualized basis for the three-quarter period then ended). Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information. On October 28, 2021, we entered into the Eighth Amendment. Under the Eighth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to December 31, 2022, (b) reducing the availability under the Revolving Loan from $24 million to $21 million while eliminating the requirement to maintain a minimum $3.0 million in a combination of Revolving Loan availability and unrestricted cash, (c) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments of $250,000 on November 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through maturity, (d) amending the minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending on and after June 30, 2021 to provide for a ratio of 1.5 to 1.0, and (e) amending the maximum leverage ratio covenant as follows: for the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2021 - 5.0 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 - 4.75 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 - 4.25 to 1.0 and for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 and thereafter - 4.0 to 1.0, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four-quarter period then ended (or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, determined on an annualized basis for the three-quarter period then ended). Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited waived certain covenant non-compliance and waived temporarily, late delivery of certain financial information. NYSE American Delinquency Notices On May 25, 2021, we received a notice from NYSE American LLC stating that our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the three months ended March 31, 2021 caused us to be out of compliance with the NYSE American LLC’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 will have until November 24, 2021 as an Initial Cure Period to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC. If we fail to file the Form 10-Q during the Initial Cure Period, the NYSE American exchange may, in its sole discretion, provide an Additional Cure Period of up to six months. We have requested an Additional Cure Period. However, there can be no assurance that NYSE American will grant us the Additional Cure Period or that we will be able to file the Form 10-Q within the Additional Cure Period. If we are not granted an Additional Cure Period or if we are unable to file the Form 10-Q within the Additional Cure Period, our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE American exchange. On September 17, 2021, we received notice from NYSE American LLC indicating that the Company does not meet the continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the Company Guide. The Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $2.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $4.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company has therefore become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to NYSE American LLC addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 (the “Plan”). On November 19, 2021, we received notice from NYSE American LLC that has accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the NYSE Regulation staff may initiate delisting proceedings, as appropriate. See “Risk Factors - If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American exchange, our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected, and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired.”. Extension of Lease Agreement on Corporate Headquarters, Manufacturing and Office Space On November 10, 2021, the Company executed the second amendment to the lease agreement for its manufacturing and office space, which extends the lease agreement’s expiration date to April 30, 2026.
