You should read the financial information set forth below in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

CPI Aerostructures, Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiary Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”) and Compac Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of WMI (collectively, “CPI Aero”, the “Company”, “us” or “we”) is a manufacturer of structural assemblies, integrated systems, and kitted components for the domestic and international aerospace and defense (“A&D”) markets. Our products are generally used by customers in the production of fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, electronic warfare (“EW”) systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“ISR”) systems, missiles, and other sophisticated A&D products. We are primarily a Tier 1 supplier to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). We are also a Tier 2 supplier to larger Tier 1 manufacturers and a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), primarily the United States (“U.S.”) Air Force (“USAF”). Our products are used by OEMs within both commercial aerospace and national security markets. In addition to our assembly operations, we provide manufacturing engineering, program management, supply chain management, kitting and maintenance repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services.

Our OEM customers in the defense sector include leading prime defense contractors such as:

| ● | Lockheed Martin Corporation - we provide products used in the production of Lockheed Martin Corporation’s (“Lockheed Martin”) F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and an international variant of the F-16 Falcon. We also provide structural assemblies to Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (“Sikorsky”), for many of their military helicopter platforms including the UH-60 BLACK HAWK©, CH-53E and CH53K, and a special purpose helicopter;

| ● | Raytheon Technologies Corporation - we provide products to three business divisions of Raytheon Technologies Corporation (“Raytheon”): Intelligence and Space (the Next Generation Jammer – Mid-Band pod), Missiles & Defense (missile wing and Evolved Sea Sparrow missile launcher controller), and Collins Aerospace (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance airborne pods);

| ● | The Boeing Company - we provide critical wing structure for The Boeing Company’s (“Boeing”) A-10 re-wing program and welded structure for the CH-47 Chinook; and

3

| ● | Northrop Grumman Corporation – we provide structural components and kits for the Northrop Grumman Corporation (“NGC”) E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, various integrated radar and laser pod structures, welded tubes and welded fluid tanks for a classified program.

91% and 80% of our revenue in 2021 and 2020, respectively, was generated by subcontracts with defense prime contractors.

We have positioned our Company to take advantage of opportunities in the military aerospace market to a broad customer base, which we believe will reduce the potential impact of industry consolidation. Our success as a subcontractor to defense prime contractors has provided us with opportunities to act as a subcontractor to prime contractors in the production of commercial aircraft structures, which we believe will also reduce our exposure to defense industry consolidation, government spending decisions, and other defense industry risks.

Our OEM customers in the civil aviation market include:

| ● | Embraer Executive Jets – we provide engine inlet assemblies for the Phenom 300 business jet; and

| ● | Gulfstream Aircraft Company– we provide a critical structure used to produce the wing of Gulfstream Aircraft Company’s large cabin executive business jets, including the flagship G650ER, the G700, and the recently announced G800.

6% and 10% of our revenue in 2021 and 2020, respectively, was generated by commercial contract sales.

CPI Aero also is a prime contractor to the DOD, primarily through contracts directly with the USAF and the Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”), providing supply chain management, assembly & integration, and kitting services for the F-16 and T-38 Programs. 3% and 10% of our revenue in 2021 and 2020, respectively, were generated by direct government sales.

CPI Aero has over 40 years of experience as a contractor. Our team possesses extensive technical expertise and program management and integration capabilities. Our competitive advantage lies in our ability to offer large contractor capabilities with the flexibility and responsiveness of a small company, while staying competitive in cost and delivering superior quality products.

We maintain a website located at www.cpiaero.com. Our corporate filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K, our proxy statements and reports filed by our officers and directors under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any amendments to those filings, are available, free of charge, on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with the SEC. The contents of our website are not incorporated in or otherwise to be regarded as a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Significant Contracts

Our most significant contracts are described below:

Military Aircraft – Subcontracts with Prime Contractors

NGC E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: The NGC E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is an all-weather, carrier-based tactical Airborne Early Warning aircraft. The twin turboprop aircraft was designed and developed in the 1950s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy aircraft has been progressively updated with the latest variant, the E-2D, first flying in 2007. In 2008, we received an initial $7.9 million order from NGC to provide structural kits used in the production of Outer Wing Panels (“OWP”) of the E-2D. We initially valued the long-term agreement at approximately $98 million over an eight-year period, with the potential to be in excess of $195 million over the life of the aircraft program. In February of 2019, we announced a new multi-year award valued at up to approximately $47.5 million. In June 2020, we announced that we had received firm orders valued in excess of $43 million and $5 million in long-lead funding in anticipation of purchase orders for OWP structural components and kits. Since 2008, the cumulative orders we have received on this program through December 31, 2021 exceed $227 million.

4

In addition, in 2015 we won an award to supply structural components and kits for the Wet Outer Wing Panel (“WOWP”) on the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning and control (“AEW&C”) aircraft that will be manufactured for the Japan Air Self Defense Force (“JASDF”). We are responsible for component source selection, supply chain management, delivery of kits, and are providing manufacturing engineering services to NGC during the integration of the components into the WOWP. In late 2019, CPI Aero received additional WOWP kit requirements increasing the total expected value of the WOWP program for JASDF to be in excess of $37 million.

In February 2020, the Company’s subsidiary WMI received from NGC approximately $4 million in purchase orders to provide numerous welded structure and tubes for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. Under the terms of the purchase orders, WMI will manufacture more than 140 different items in support of the production of at least 25 E-2D aircraft. The period of performance is expected to be through 2022 with strong potential for follow-on orders.

Raytheon ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer – Mid-Band Pod (“NGJ-MB”): The Raytheon NGJ-MB pod is an external jamming pod that will disrupt and degrade enemy aircraft and ground radar and communication systems and will replace the ALQ-99 system on the U.S. Navy’s EA-6B Growler carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft. The U.S. Navy plans to install these pods on 139 EA-18G Growlers during the production phase. There are also 11 EA-18Gs operated by the Royal Australian Air Force. There are two pods per aircraft. Raytheon received a $1 billion sole source contract from the U.S. Navy in April 2016, and CPI Aero has a contract with Raytheon to assemble the pod structural housing and air management system (“AMS”) and integrate some Customer Furnished Equipment. In 2019, Raytheon authorized CPI Aero to begin production of pod structures and air management system components for the System Demonstration and Test Article (“SDTA”) phase of the NGJ-MB program. All SDTA pods and AMS components are expected to complete shipping during the first quarter of 2022. CPI Aero estimates the value of the NGJ-MB program through the SDTA phase to be approximately $60 million. On November 16, 2021 the Company announced it was authorized by Raytheon to start the production phase of the program. We believe that the total value of the NGJ-MB program through production will be in excess of $210 million through 2030.

A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog”: The Boeing A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the Warthog, is a twin-engine aircraft that provides close-air support of ground forces and employs a wide variety of conventional munitions including general-purpose bombs. The simple, effective and survivable single-seat aircraft can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles. On August 21, 2019, Boeing announced it had received an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contract award from the USAF with a maximum contract value of $999 million to manage the production of up to 112 new wing sets and spares kits for A-10 aircraft, and the USAF ordered 27 wing sets from Boeing immediately at contract award. In 2019, CPI Aero announced the receipt of an IDIQ contract with a maximum ceiling value of $48 million from Boeing for structural assemblies for the A-10. Under the terms of the IDIQ contract, CPI Aero will manufacture major structural subassemblies of the A-10 aircraft’s wing. The Company also announced that it has received initial purchase orders under the IDIQ contract valued at approximately $6 million for the production of four shipsets of assemblies and associated program start-up costs. In May 2020, CPI Aero announced the receipt of additional purchase orders totaling approximately $14 million from Boeing.

F-35 Lightning II: The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighter aircraft that provides unmatched multi-role capability, survivability, and connectivity with data sharing capabilities essential for Joint All Domain Operations. Current DOD plans call for acquiring a total of 2,456 F-35s. Allies are expected to purchase hundreds of additional F-35s, with eight nations cost-sharing partners in the program with the United States and six other allied nations purchasing the F-35 via Foreign Military Sales agreements with the DOD. The Company has two significant contracts for products used on the F-35. In 2015, CPI Aero was awarded a multi-year contract to supply four different lock assemblies for the arresting gear door on the F-35C Carrier Take Off and Landing variant. CPI Aero made its first delivery under that contract in May 2017. In 2018, the Company received a new long-term agreement value at approximately $8 million for lock assemblies to be delivered between 2020 and 2024. In November 2017, CPI Aero was awarded an additional $15.8 million multi-year contract to manufacture canopy activation drive shaft assemblies for the F-35A, F-35B, and F-35C aircraft.

UH-60 “BLACK HAWK”: The Sikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK helicopter is the leader in multi-mission rotary wing aircraft. Among the mission configurations its serves are troop transport, medical evacuation, electronic warfare, attack, assault support and special operations. More than 3,000 BLACK HAWK helicopters are in use today, operating in 29 countries. CPI Aero and its WMI subsidiary manufacture several different structural assemblies, including welded structure, for the BLACK HAWK helicopter. The majority of CPI Aero’s contracts for the BLACK HAWK are as a Tier 1 supplier to Sikorsky. The Company also is a Tier 2 supplier to GKN Aerospace for ultimate use on the BLACK HAWK. In 2017, CPI Aero received an approximate $21 million long-term agreement through 2022 for the production of fuel panel assemblies, work it has performed for Sikorsky since 2010. Also in 2017, the Company received an $8 million long-term agreement through 2022 to manufacture machine gunner window assemblies, continuing work it has performed since 2010. A third five-year LTA was awarded in January 2022 estimated at $13.6 million with a period of performance from 2023-2027. Since October 2018, CPI Aero has received multiple purchase orders totaling $22 million for Hover Infrared Suppression System (“HIRSS”) module assemblies for use as spares on older variants of the UH-60 BLACK HAWK helicopter. The HIRSS is a defensive countermeasures system that is integral to the survival of the UH-60 Black Hawk by reducing the opportunity for an infrared-seeking threat system to acquire, lock onto, track, and destroy the helicopter. In May 2021, the Company announced receiving a multi-year contract valued at up to $17.2 million for the repair and overhaul of outboard stabilator assemblies in support of the Sikorsky MH-60 SEAHAWK.

F-16V Fighting Falcon: The Lockheed Martin F-16 is the world’s most successful, combat-proven multirole fighter. Approximately 3,000 operational F-16s are in service today in 25 countries. The F-16V is a new variant, sold exclusively to international air forces and is the most technologically advanced, fourth generation fighter in the world. In 2019, the Company announced it had been awarded a multi-year contract by Lockheed Martin to manufacture Rudder Island and Drag Chute Canister (“RI/DCC”) assemblies for the F-16V. The RI/DCC is a large structural sub-assembly that is installed on the tail section of the aircraft. Deliveries are expected to begin during late 2020 and continue through 2024. In June 2020, the Company announced that it had been awarded a follow-on order from Lockheed Martin to manufacture structural assemblies for new production F-16 Block 70/72 aircraft. The total value of the RI/DCC program is approximately $21 million and we have received more than $20.6 million in orders through December 31, 2021. Given the strength of Lockheed’s International Sales Forecast for the F-16, a follow-on to the existing contracted orders is possible.

CH-53K King Stallion: The CH-53K is a heavy-lift helicopter being developed by Sikorsky for the U.S. Marine Corps. We manufacture composite electronics racks as a Tier 2 supplier to Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., the manufacturer of the CH-53K cockpit and cabin. Through December 31, 2021, we had received orders valued at more than $3.6 million.

Undisclosed Vehicle: In 2018 the Company received an initial purchase order from Raytheon Missile Systems Company, a subsidiary of Raytheon, to manufacture structural assemblies on an undisclosed vehicle. In 2019, CPI Aero completed the initial order and in January 2021, CPI Aero announced a subsequent purchase order to manufacture additional units. The undisclosed vehicle is currently under development. Terms of the order will not be disclosed.

Undisclosed Pod Structure: In 2019, the Company received an initial purchase order from Raytheon to manufacture pod structures for an undisclosed application. The value of the order was approximately $2.3 million for manufacturing engineering service, development of assembly tooling and the production of the prototypes. The undisclosed pod structure is currently under development. In October 2021, the Company announced Raytheon awarded an approximate $6 million contract modification that changes the scope of work the Company would perform and increases the quantity of pods to be produced.

Military Aircraft – Prime Contracts with U.S. Government

F-16 “Fighting Falcon”: Since 2014, we have been a prime contractor to the DLA to provide structural wing components and logistical support for global F-16 aircraft MRO operations. Through December 31, 2021 we have received almost $15 million in orders on this program.

T-38 Pacer Classic III, Phase 2: For more than 50 years, the Northrop T-38 has been the principal supersonic jet trainer used by the USAF. The T-38C Pacer Classic III Fuselage Structural Modification Kit Integration program (“PC III”) and the Talon Repair Inspection and Maintenance (“TRIM”) programs are expected to increase the structural service life of the T-38 beyond 2030. In 2015, CPI Aero was awarded Phase 2 of PC III and has received purchase orders valued at approximately $2 million from the USAF to provide structural modification kits for the PC III aircraft structural modification program. Through December 2021, we have received $23.2 million in orders on this program.

6

T-38 Pacer Classic III, Phase 3 and TRIM: In July 2019, the Company announced a new $65.7 million IDIQ contract from the USAF for the final phase of PC III as well as TRIM. The TRIM program is a separate USAF structural modification effort that will extend the structural service life of T-38A and T-38 model types, as well as T-38C models that were not modified during PC III. Through December 31 2020, the Company had received orders valued at approximately $15.3 million for the PC III, Phase 3 and TRIM programs, and in 2021, the Company announced it had received three separate orders for additional requirements valued at approximately $16.2 million, bringing total orders under this long term contract to approximately $31.5 million.

Commercial Aircraft – Subcontracts with Prime Contractors

G650/G650ER/G700: The Gulfstream G650 is a twin-engine business jet airplane produced by Gulfstream Aerospace that can be configured to carry from 11 to 18 passengers. Gulfstream began the G650 program in 2005 and revealed it to the public in 2008. The G650 is Gulfstream’s largest and fastest business jet. The G650ER is an extended range version of the aircraft. In 2020, Gulfstream announced the launch of a new derivative the G700. In March 2008, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. awarded us a contract to provide fixed leading edges for the Gulfstream G650 business jet, and derivative models, a commercial program that Spirit was supporting. In December 2014, Spirit transferred its work-scope on this program to Triumph Group. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in May 2020, Triumph Group cancelled nearly all open orders with the Company. On May 27, 2020, Triumph Group announced it had reached an agreement in principle to sell the G650 wing program to Gulfstream Aerospace, and on June 12, 2020, we received a joint communication from Gulfstream Aerospace and Triumph Group that stated Gulfstream’s intention to continue to purchase G650 wing components from the Company. In December 2020, we received purchase orders directly from Gulfstream for wing components for use on the G650, G650ER and/or G700 aircraft. We expect this work to continue through 2022.

Phenom 300: The Phenom 300 is a twin-engine, executive jet produced by Brazilian aircraft company Embraer, S.A. that can carry between six and 10 passengers and a crew of two. We have been producing engine inlet assemblies for Embraer under a long-term agreement we entered into in 2012. We have received approximately $40.3 million in orders on this program through December 31 2021. We estimate the potential value of the program to be in excess of $52 million.

Sales and Marketing

We are recognized within the aerospace industry as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier to major aircraft suppliers. Additionally, we may bid for military contracts set aside specifically for small businesses.

We are generally awarded initial contracts for our products and services through the process of competitive bidding. This process begins when we first learn, formally or otherwise, of a potential contract from a prospective customer and concludes after all negotiations are completed upon award. When preparing our response to a prospective customer for a potential contract, we evaluate the contract requirements and determine and outline the services and products we can provide to fulfill the contract at a competitive price.

Many times for our defense programs, after the initial contract, subsequent follow-on contracts are awarded on a sole-source basis, subject to cost-justification and direct negotiation with our customer and in some cases, the federal government.

Our average sales cycle, which generally commences at the time a prospective customer issues a request for proposal and ends upon delivery of the final product to the customer, varies widely.

Because of the complexities inherent in the aerospace industry, the time from the initial request for proposal to award ranges from as little as a few weeks to several years. Additionally, our contracts have ranged from six months to as long as 10 years. Also, repeat and follow-on jobs for current contracts frequently provide additional opportunities with minimal start-up costs and rapid rates to production.

7

The Market

We have positioned our Company to take advantage of opportunities in the military aerospace market to a broad customer base, thereby reducing the impact of direct government contracting limitations. Our success as a subcontractor to defense prime contractors has provided us with opportunities to act as a subcontractor to prime contractors in the production of commercial aircraft structures, which also reduced our exposure to government spending decisions.

Over time, our Company has expanded in both size and capabilities, with growth in our operational and global supply chain program management. These expansions have allowed us the ability to supply more complex aerostructure assemblies and aerosystems and structures in support of our government-based programs as well as to pursue opportunities within the commercial and business jet markets. Our capabilities have also allowed us to acquire MRO and kitting contracts.

Approximately $4.7 million and $2.9 million of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were from customers outside the U.S. All other revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 has been attributable to customers within the U.S. We have no assets outside the U.S.

Government-based contracts are subject to national defense budget and procurement funding decisions that, accordingly, drive demand for our business in that market. Government spending and budgeting for procurement, operations and maintenance are affected not only by military action, but also the related fiscal consequences of these actions, as well as the political process.

Backlog

We produce custom assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Funded backlog consists of aggregate funded values under such contracts and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC606”). Unfunded backlog is the estimated amount of future orders under the expected duration of the program. Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts.

The total backlog at December 31, 2021 is primarily comprised of long-term programs with Raytheon (NGJ-MB; B-52 Radar Rack), USAF (T-38), Boeing (A-10), Sikorsky (UH-60), Northrop Grumman (E-2D), Lockheed Martin (F-16; F-35), Collins Aerospace (MS-110 and TacSAR pods) and Embraer (Phenom 300). Funded backlog is primarily from purchase orders under long-term contracts with the USAF (T-38), Boeing (A-10), Sikorsky (UH-60), Northrop Grumman (E-2D), Lockheed Martin (F-16; F-35), Raytheon (NGJ-MB; B-52 Radar Rack) and Embraer (Phenom 300). Approximately 52% of the funded backlog at December 31, 2021 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2022.

Our total backlog as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

Backlog (Total) |  | December 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
Funded |  | $ | 134,722,000 |  |  | $ | 169,567,000 |
Unfunded |  |  | 366,997,000 |  |  |  | 306,618,000 |
Total |  | $ | 501,719,000 |  |  | $ | 476,185,000 |

8

Approximately 98% of the total amount of our backlog at December 31, 2021 was attributable to government contracts, compared to 96% at December 31, 2020. Our backlog attributable to government contracts at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

Backlog (Government) |  | December 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
Funded |  | $ | 132,499,000 |  |  | $ | 166,156,000 |
Unfunded |  |  | 358,133,000 |  |  |  | 290,632,000 |
Total |  | $ | 490,632,000 |  |  | $ | 456,788,000 |

Our backlog attributable to commercial contracts at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

Backlog (Commercial) |  | December 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
Funded |  | $ | 2,223,000 |  |  | $ | 3,411,000 |
Unfunded |  |  | 8,864,000 |  |  |  | 15,986,000 |
Total |  | $ | 11,087,000 |  |  | $ | 19,397,000 |

Material and Parts

We subcontract production of substantially all parts incorporated into our products to third-party manufacturers under firm fixed price orders. Our decision to purchase certain components generally is based upon whether the components are available to meet required specifications at a cost and with a delivery schedule consistent with customer requirements. From time to time, we are required to purchase custom made parts from sole suppliers and manufacturers in order to meet specific customer requirements.

We obtain our raw materials from several commercial sources. Although certain items are only available from limited sources of supply, we believe that the loss of any single supplier would not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Competition

We face competition in our role as both a prime contractor to the U.S. Government and as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 subcontractor to military and commercial aircraft manufacturers. Within our aerostructures capability, we often compete against much larger Tier 1 suppliers, such as Triumph Group, Spirit AeroSystems, Kaman Aerospace, GKN, Ducommun, and LMI Aerospace. We believe that we can compete effectively with these larger companies by delivering products with the same level of quality and performance at a better value for our customer. Within our aerosystems capability, such as our portfolio of EW and ISR integrated pod structures, we find more limited competition and are not aware of competition from any of the aerostructures companies mentioned above. In these cases, we typically compete with the internal manufacturing arm of our customers. We believe our unique skills related to integrated pod structures combined with a very efficient and generally much lower cost structure creates a competitive advantage for bidding on aerosystems contracts.

For certain unrestricted contracts for the U.S. Government, we may compete against well-established prime contractors, including NGC, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. All of these competitors possess significantly larger infrastructures, greater resources and the capabilities to respond to much larger contracts. We believe that our competitive advantage lies in our ability to offer large contractor capabilities with the flexibility and responsiveness of a small company, while staying competitive in cost and delivering superior quality products. While larger prime contractors compete for significant modification awards, they generally do not compete for awards in smaller modifications, spares and replacement parts, even for aircraft for which they are the original manufacturer. In certain instances, the large prime contractors often subcontract much of the work they win to their Tier 1 suppliers so we also may act as a subcontractor to some of these major prime contractors. Further, in some cases these companies are not permitted to bid, for example when the U.S. Government designates a contract as a Small Business Set-Aside. In these restricted contracts for the U.S. Government, CPI Aero typically competes against numerous small business competitors. We believe we compete effectively against the smaller competitors because smaller competitors generally do not have the expertise we have in responding to requests for proposals for government contracts, nor will they typically have the more than 40 years of past performance in conducting thousands of contracts for the U.S. Government.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Impact on Our Business

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during our first quarter of 2020. During the latter part of that quarter and subsequent to that quarter end, the COVID-19 pandemic grew, causing non-essential businesses to shut down and many people to observe the shelter-in-place directive from our state government. Our business and operations and the industries in which we operate have been impacted by public and private sector policies and initiatives in the U.S. to address the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions and the adoption of remote work. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy, has adversely impacted the businesses of certain of our customers and suppliers, and, if it continues for an extended period of time, it could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. In response to the COVID-19 impact on our business, we have been and continue to actively mitigate costs. We have also been taking actions to preserve capital and protect the long-term needs of our businesses, including negotiating progress payments with our customers and reducing discretionary spending. For more information on the current and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During late 2020, we began to experience an increased rate of employees testing positive for COVID-19 and we took steps to mitigate virus transmission within the workplace. These steps included adding a second manufacturing shift to lessen employee density on the manufacturing floor and to require most non-manufacturing personnel to work from home. These measures continued into 2021. Despite these measures, we experienced a relatively high level of absenteeism directly or indirectly related to COVID-19. We have taken mitigating steps in an attempt to reduce the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our business. For example, we have curtailed discretionary spending and business travel, and taken other steps to preserve cash. We have also taken action to more closely manage the flow of materials to be more responsive to unanticipated changes in customer delivery schedules. Since May 2021 and through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have experienced a decrease in the impact of COVID-19. However, we believe that the impact of COVID-19 on illness and absence rates, workflows and productivity at the Company and our business providers has been a contributing factor to the time required for our financial statement closing processes and the delayed filing of our SEC reports. Most non-manufacturing personnel have now returned to their regular in-person work schedules and we have returned to a single day shift manufacturing operation, although we do continue to experience employees and business partners with new COVID-19 diagnoses on an intermittent basis and we take needed steps to mitigate these impacts on the Company’s operation as they occur.

Government Regulation

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to regulations administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, various state agencies and county and local authorities acting in cooperation with federal and state authorities. Among other things, these regulatory bodies impose restrictions to control air, soil and water pollution, to protect against occupational exposure to chemicals, including health and safety risks, and to require notification or reporting of the storage, use and release of certain hazardous chemicals and substances. The extensive regulatory framework imposes compliance burdens and risks on us. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and to obtain injunctions or impose civil and criminal fines in the case of violations.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) imposes strict, joint and several liability on the present and former owners and operators of facilities that release hazardous substances into the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”) regulates the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. In New York State, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances are governed by the Environmental Conservation Law, which contains the New York counterparts of CERCLA and RCRA. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which requires employers to provide a place of employment that is free from recognized and preventable hazards that are likely to cause serious physical harm to employees, obligates employers to provide notice to employees regarding the presence of hazardous chemicals and to train employees in the use of such substances.

10

Our operations require the use of a limited amount of chemicals and other materials for painting and cleaning, including solvents and thinners, which are classified under applicable laws as hazardous chemicals and substances. We have obtained a permit from the Town of Islip, New York, Building Division in order to maintain a paint booth containing flammable liquids.

Federal Aviation Administration Regulation

We are subject to regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) under the provisions of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. The FAA prescribes standards and licensing requirements for aircraft and aircraft components. We are subject to inspections by the FAA and may be subjected to fines and other penalties (including orders to cease production) for noncompliance with FAA regulations. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in the termination of or our disqualification from some of our contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Government Contract Compliance

Our government contracts and sub-contracts are subject to the procurement rules and regulations of the U.S. Government. Many of the contract terms are dictated by these rules and regulations. Specifically, cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), which provide guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. Government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to charitable contributions, advertising, interest expense, and public relations are unallowable, and therefore not recoverable through sales. During and after the fulfillment of a government contract, we may be audited in respect of the direct and allocated indirect costs attributed thereto. These audits may result in adjustments to our contract costs. Additionally, we may be subject to U.S. Government inquiries and investigations because of our participation in government procurement. Any inquiry or investigation can result in fines or limitations on our ability to continue to bid for government contracts and fulfill existing contracts. We believe that we are in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our operations and have obtained all material licenses and permits required for the operation of our business.

The U.S. Government generally has the ability to terminate our contracts, in whole or in part, without prior notice, for convenience or for default based on performance. If a U.S. Government contract were to be terminated for convenience, we generally would be protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contract and profit on those costs, but not the anticipated profit that would have been earned had the contract been completed. In the unusual circumstance where a U.S. Government contract does not have such termination protection, we attempt to mitigate the termination risk through other means. Termination resulting from our default may expose us to liability and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for other contracts. The U.S. Government also has the ability to stop work under a contract for a limited period of time for its convenience. In the event of a stop work order, we generally would be protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contract to date and for costs associated with the temporary stoppage of work on the contract. However, such temporary stoppages and delays could introduce inefficiencies for which we may not be able to negotiate full recovery from the U.S. Government, and could ultimately result in termination for convenience or reduced future orders on certain contracts. Additionally, we may be required to continue to perform for some period of time on certain of our U.S. Government contracts, even if the U.S. Government is unable to make timely payments.

Insurance

We maintain a $2 million general liability insurance policy, a $100 million products liability insurance policy, and a $5 million umbrella liability insurance policy. Additionally, we maintain $15 million of director and officers’ insurance. We believe this coverage is adequate for claims that have been and may be brought against us, and for the types of products presently marketed because of the strict inspection standards imposed on us by our customers before they take possession of our products. Additionally, the FAR generally provide that we will not be held liable for any loss of or damage to property of the U.S. Government that occurs after the U.S. Government accepts delivery of our products and that results from any defects or deficiencies in our products unless the liability results from willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of our managerial personnel.

11

Proprietary Information

None of our current assembly processes or products is protected by patents. We rely on proprietary know-how and information and employ various methods to protect the processes, concepts, ideas and documentation associated with our products. These methods, however, may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such processes, concepts, ideas and documentation.

CPI Aero® is a registered trademark of the Company.

Human Capital Management

As of December 31, 2021, we had 249 full-time employees. We employ temporary personnel with specialized disciplines on an as-needed basis. We depend on a highly educated and skilled workforce. We seek to advance a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment for all employees. Our ability to attract, develop and retain the best talent, particularly those with technical, engineering and science backgrounds or experience, is critical for us to execute our strategy and grow our businesses. Our management, with oversight from the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of our board of directors, monitors the hiring, retention and management of our employees and regularly conducts succession planning to ensure that we continue to cultivate the pipeline of talent needed to operate our business.

In addition, we have taken measures to protect our workforce in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including allowing employees to work from home when possible and implementing safety protocols to support our essential employees required to work onsite, such as making changes to shift work to promote social distancing among our manufacturing personnel, and providing masks and hand sanitizer.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company began a cost reduction initiative designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs during fiscal year 2022. Management is reallocating resources and reducing operating and general administrative expenses to more properly align the Company’s costs to anticipated near-term revenue given the timing differences between the conclusion of certain mature programs and the commencement of new programs in 2022. In connection with the cost reduction initiative, the Company executed a headcount reduction and furlough action in March 2022.

None of our employees is a member of a union. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following material risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business because such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results did and could continue to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to the Restatement of our Prior Period Consolidated Financial Statements and Material Weaknesses in our Internal Control

We have restated our consolidated financial statements during the past three years, including the restatement included in our 2020 Comprehensive Form 10-K/A. These restatements have affected and may continue to affect investor confidence, our stock price, our ability to raise capital in the future, and our reputation with our customers, have resulted and may continue to result in stockholder litigation and may reduce customer confidence in our ability to complete new contract opportunities.

In February 2019, we filed an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which included a restatement of our financial statements for the period then ended. The restatement of such financial statements corrected an overstatement of revenue in such period due to the miscoding of an invoice in the Company’s records (the “Coding Error”). In August 2020, we filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which included a restatement of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 to correct certain errors relating to our recognition of revenue, which errors resulted from an incorrect application of U.S. GAAP (the “Revenue Recognition Error”). In November 2021, we filed a comprehensive Form 10-K/A (the “Comprehensive Form 10-K/A”) which included a restatement of our (i) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ deficit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and (ii) consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three, six and nine month periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and related disclosures to correct errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of inventory costing and related internal controls (the “Inventory Costing Errors”) and resulting deficiencies in reserves (the “Insufficient Reserves”). 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 Insufficient Reserves resulted from insufficient inventory reserves and provisions for loss contracts. The existence of the Coding Error, Revenue Recognition Error, the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, along with the related restatements, have had and may continue to have the effect of eroding investor confidence in the Company and our financial reporting and accounting practices and processes, have negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact the trading price of our common stock, have resulted and may continue to result in stockholder litigation, may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms, if at all, and may negatively impact our reputation with our customers and cause customers to place new orders with other companies.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which did and could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner.

As a result of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, and we have also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the Revenue Recognition Error, we previously determined that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and in connection with the Coding Error, we previously determined that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018. The Revenue Recognition Error, Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves caused us to fail to comply with the financial covenants under our credit facility with BankUnited, N.A. and the restatement of such errors was a contributing factor in our failure to timely file periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. The Revenue Recognition Error also resulted in shareholder litigation.

As described in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have taken a number of steps during 2021 in order to strengthen our accounting function so as to allow us to be able to provide timely and accurate financial reporting, which have remediated the internal control deficiencies that led to the Revenue Recognition Error and the internal control deficiencies that led to the Coding Error which had been previously remediated. However, such steps were not sufficient to prevent the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves referred to within Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K as the “First Quarter 2021 Material Weaknesses” and there can be no assurance that these steps will be successful in preventing future errors or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not arise or be identified in the future.

During 2021, controls and procedures have been put in place to address the Insufficient Reserves, some improvements in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting have been made during 2021 with respect to the Inventory Costing Errors, and during 2022, we plan to conduct further work, and design and implement additional internal controls to remediate the material weakness in internal controls that existed at December 31, 2021 due to the Inventory Costing Errors, although there can be no guarantee that these controls, this work or planned additional controls will be successful.

We intend to continue our remediation activities and to continue to improve our overall control environment and our operational and financial systems and infrastructure, as well as to continue to train, retain and manage our personnel who are essential to effective internal control. In doing so, we will continue to incur expenses and expend management’s time on compliance-related issues. However, we cannot ensure that the steps that we have taken or will take will successfully remediate the errors. If we are unable to successfully complete our remediation efforts or favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our operating results, financial position, ability to accurately report our financial results and timely file our periodic reports under the Exchange Act, and our stock price could be adversely affected.

13

Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began using inventory valuation and cost collection software associated with the Company’s jobs for which revenue is recognized using the point in time method of accounting. There can be no assurance that controls over inventory will be adequate to address all potential valuation issues that may arise in the future relating to the use of the software and additional internal controls may need to be developed.

The occurrence of any future errors, misstatements, or failures in internal control may also cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations, negatively affect investor and customer confidence in our management and the accuracy of our financial statements and disclosures, result in events of default under our banking agreements, or result in adverse publicity and concerns from investors and customers, any of which could have a negative effect on the price of our common stock, subject us to regulatory investigations and penalties or additional stockholder litigation, and have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

The restatements of our consolidated financial statements due to the Coding Error, the Revenue Recognition Error, the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves have diverted, and our ongoing efforts to remediate our internal control may continue to divert management from the operation of our business. The absence of timely and accurate financial information has hindered and may in the future hinder our ability to effectively manage our business.

The restatements of our consolidated financial statements due to the Coding Error, the Revenue Recognition Error, the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves have diverted, and our ongoing efforts to remediate our internal control may continue to divert management from the operation of our business. Our board of directors, members of management, and our accounting, and other staff have spent significant time on the restatements and remediation and will continue to spend significant time on remediation of internal control over our financial reporting. These resources have been, and will likely continue to be, diverted from the strategic and day-to-day management of our business and may have an adverse effect on our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives.

We face litigation relating to the Revenue Recognition Error.

Our Company and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors are defendants in litigation arising out of the Revenue Recognition Error in and restatements of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, and quarters ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2019. Please see Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.” These proceedings may result in significant expenses and the diversion of management attention from our business. We cannot ensure that additional litigation or other claims by shareholders will not be brought in the future arising out of the same subject matter.

We are currently ineligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the offer and sale of securities, which could adversely affect our ability to raise future capital.

We did not file our Quarterly Reports for the three months ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (the “2022 Q1 Form 10-Q”) and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Q2 Form 10-Q”) within the timeframes required by the SEC. We have not yet filed the 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q or the 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q. We will regain status as a current filer when we file the 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q and any subsequently delayed reports. However, we will not be considered a timely filer and will not be eligible to file a short-form registration statement on Form S-3 to register the offer and sale of our securities until twelve full calendar months from the date we regain status as a current filer. If we wish to register the offer and sale of our securities to the public prior to such time, we will be required to use the long-form registration statement, Form S-1, which may increase both our transaction costs and the amount of time required to complete the transaction. This may adversely affect our ability to raise funds, if we choose to do so.

The NYSE American exchange has suspended trading of our common stock and may delist our common stock from trading on the exchange. If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American exchange, our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired.

On May 19, 2022, the NYSE American exchange (the “Exchange”) announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation (the “Committee”). A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for September 7, 2022 (the “Hearing”). The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review although trading of our common stock on the Exchange remains suspended.

We will become current with our SEC reports upon the filing of the 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and the 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q. The Company believes that becoming current with our SEC reports will resolve the condition that led to NYSE American suspending trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and its determination to commence proceedings to delist the common stock from the Exchange. The 2022 Q1 Form 10 Q and 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as practicable. We cannot assure you that if the Company becomes current with our SEC reports before the Hearing or the outcome of the Hearing will result in the Exchange changing its delisting determination or that our common stock will resume trading on the Exchange in the future.

On September 17, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange 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 is therefore subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to the Exchange 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 the Exchange that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company’s common stock is not delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s delayed filings as described above and (i) the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or (ii) the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

The delisting of our common stock from the Exchange could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to attract new investors, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, decrease, investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares, increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares, and reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital with overall negative effects for our stockholders.

There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock and investors are not assured of the opportunity to make transactions in our common stock.

The Company is not current in its SEC reporting obligations with respect to its 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and its 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q. Companies that are not current in their SEC reporting obligations in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c-11 (“Rule 15c2-11”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, do not have current information publicly available and do not meet the requirements for ongoing quoting of their securities on one of the public markets (the “OTC Markets”) operated by the OTC Markets Group. Effective July 15, 2022, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s “Expert Market.”

15

The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors. Accordingly, investors are not assured of the opportunity to purchase or sell their shares when they desire to do so or at all.

The Company intends to become current with its SEC reporting obligations as soon as practicable. The Company anticipates that after it becomes current in its SEC reporting obligations its common stock will become eligible to be quoted on one of the OTC Markets through the filing of a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (or reliance on OTC Market Group’s current information designations in lieu thereof). There can be no assurance that the Company’s common stock will be quoted on an OTC Market or any other market or exchange or when that may occur in the future.

Risks Related to Global Events

The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our operations, supply chain, and customers has impacted and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause disruption in our supply chain or significantly increase the costs required to meet our contractual commitments, cause delay, or limit the ability of, the U.S. Government and other customers to perform, including making timely payments to us, negotiating contracts, performing quality inspections, accepting delivery of finished products, and cause other unpredictable events. The disruption of air travel has impacted demand for the commercial air industry. Commercial aircraft manufacturers are reducing production rates due to fewer expected aircraft deliveries and, as a result, may reduce demand for our products. There have been and may continue to be changes in our government and commercial customers’ priorities and practices, as our customers confront competing budget priorities and more limited resources. These changes may impact current and future programs, procurements, and funding decisions, which in turn could impact our results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our liquidity. Slower production schedules, higher company medical costs, potential inability of our customers to make timely payments to us, and similar factors could impact our cash flows. A period of generating lower cash from operations could adversely affect our financial position. We implemented several plans to mitigate such risks, including requesting and obtaining progress payments from our customers and longer payment terms with our suppliers; however, we may not be successful in the future in these efforts. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our cash flow will determine whether we need to obtain additional funding, which could be difficult to obtain. Due to uncertainty related to COVID-19 and its impact on us and the aerospace industry, and the volatility in the capital markets in general, access to financing may be reduced and we may have difficulty obtaining financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our operations 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. If significant portions of our workforce or our suppliers’ workforces are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closure or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will likely be impacted. For example, we believe that the impact of COVID-19 on illness and absence rates, workflows and productivity at the Company and our business partners during 2020, 2021 and year-to-date 2022 has been a contributing factor to the time required for our financial statement closing processes and the delayed filing of our SEC reports. Further absences may cause us to be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. In addition, the impact on our accounting staff and outside advisors may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the SEC.

During late 2020, we began to experience an increased rate of employees testing positive for COVID-19 and we took steps to mitigate virus transmission within the workplace. These steps included adding a second manufacturing shift to lessen employee density on the manufacturing floor and to require most non-manufacturing personnel to work from home. These measures continued into 2021. Despite these measures, we experienced a relatively high level of absenteeism directly or indirectly related to COVID-19. We have taken mitigating steps in an attempt to reduce the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our business. For example, we have curtailed discretionary spending and business travel, and taken other steps to preserve cash. We have also taken action to more closely manage the flow of materials to be more responsive to unanticipated changes in customer delivery schedules. Since May 2021 and through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have experienced a decrease in the impact of COVID-19. However, we believe that the impact of COVID-19 on illness and absence rates, workflows and productivity at the Company and our business providers has been a contributing factor to the time required for our financial statement closing processes and the delayed filing of our SEC reports. Most non-manufacturing personnel have now returned to their regular in-person work schedules and we have returned to a single day shift manufacturing operation, although we do continue to experience employees and business partners with new COVID-19 diagnoses on an intermittent basis and we take needed steps to mitigate these impacts on the Company’s operation as they occur.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the retaliatory measures imposed by the U.S., United Kingdom, European Union and other countries and the responses of Russia to such measures have caused significant disruptions to domestic and foreign economies.

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher prices for oil and other commodities. The U.S., United Kingdom, European Union and other countries responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by imposing various economic sanctions and bans. Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have impacted the availability and price of certain raw materials and transportation costs. The invasion and retaliatory measures also disrupted economic markets. The global impact of these measures is continually evolving and cannot be predicted with certainty and there is no assurance that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and responses thereto will not further disrupt the global economy and supply chain. Further, there is no assurance that even when the invasion of Ukraine ceases, that nations will not continue to impose sanctions and bans on other nations.

While these events have not interrupted our operations or materially impacted our ability to obtain raw materials, these or future developments resulting from the invasion of Ukraine such as a cyberattack on the U.S., us or our suppliers, could make it difficult for or increase the cost of certain raw materials and transportation costs, or make it difficult to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, if at all, and impact our ability to fund business activities and repay debt on a timely basis.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may alter countries’ willingness to rely on others as the source of certain products and material.

Historically, prime contractors and OEMs in the U.S. A&D industry have relied upon suppliers outside the U.S. for products and raw materials. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the economic disruption resulting from retaliatory measures may cause many of these companies to rethink these strategies and seek sources of supply within the U.S. To the extent they do so, it could disrupt domestic markets for raw materials and supplies, and the market for the skilled laborers we need to manufacture our products.

We cannot forecast with any certainty whether the disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, restrictions imposed by various governments in response thereto and resulting changes in business practices, may materially impact our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Terrorist acts and acts of war may seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

U.S. and global responses to actual or potential military conflicts such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, perceived nuclear, biological and chemical threats and other global political crises increase uncertainties with respect to the U.S. and other business and financial markets. Several factors associated, directly or indirectly, with actual or potential military conflicts, terrorism, perceived nuclear, biological and chemical and cyber threats, and other global political crises and responses thereto, may adversely affect the mix of products purchased by defense departments in the U.S. or other countries to platforms not serviced by us. A shift in defense budgets to product lines we do not produce could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

17

In reading the risk factors set forth below, in each case, consider the additional uncertainties caused by global events such as COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine and terrorist acts.

Risks Related to Our Business

We depend on government contracts for a significant portion of our revenues.

We are a supplier, either directly or as a subcontractor, to the U.S. Government and its agencies. We depend on government contracts for a significant portion of our business. If we are suspended or barred from contracting with the U.S. Government, if our reputation or relationship with individual federal agencies were impaired, whether due to the restatements and errors in our financial statements or otherwise, or if the U.S. Government otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

We face risks relating to government contracts.

The funding of U.S. Government programs is subject to congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes. For many programs, the U.S. Congress appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend over several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. Appropriations are driven by numerous factors, including geopolitical events, macroeconomic conditions, the ability of the U.S. Government to enact relevant legislation, such as appropriations bills and continuing resolutions, and the threat or existence of a government shutdown. U.S. Government appropriations for our programs and for defense spending generally may be impacted or delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic as governmental priorities and finances change. We cannot predict the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be included, increased or reduced in budgets approved by Congress or be included in the scope of separate supplemental appropriations. In the event that appropriations for any of our programs becomes unavailable, or is reduced or delayed, our contract or subcontract under such program may be terminated or adjusted by the U.S. Government, which could have a material adverse effect on our future sales under such program, and on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We also cannot predict the impact of potential changes in priorities due to military transformation and planning and/or the nature of war-related activity on existing, follow-on or replacement programs. A shift of government priorities to programs in which we do not participate and/or reductions in funding for or the termination of programs in which we do participate, unless offset by other programs and opportunities, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, the U.S. Government generally has the ability to terminate contracts, completely or in part, without prior notice, for convenience or for default based on performance. In the event of termination for the U.S. Government’s convenience, contractors are generally protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contracts and profit on those costs but not the anticipated profit that would have been earned had the contract been completed. Termination by the U.S. Government of a contract for convenience could also result in the cancellation of future work on that program. Termination by the U.S. Government of a contract due to our default could require us to pay for re-procurement costs in excess of the original contract price, net of the value of work accepted from the original contract. Termination of a contract due to our default may expose us to liability and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for contracts. Additionally, we are a subcontractor on some U.S. Government contracts. In these arrangements, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, without regard to our performance as a subcontractor. We can give no assurance that we would be awarded new U.S. Government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of the termination of any of our U.S. Government contracts.

18

We have risks associated with competing in the bidding process for contracts.

We obtain many of our contracts through a competitive bidding process. In the bidding process, we face the following risks:

| ● | we must bid on programs in advance of their completion, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties or cost overruns;

| ● | we must devote substantial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for competitively awarded contracts that may not be awarded to us; and

| ● | awarded contracts may not generate sales sufficient to result in profitability.

Further consolidation in the aerospace industry could adversely affect our business and financial results.

The aerospace and defense industry is experiencing significant consolidation, including among our customers, competitors and suppliers. While we believe we have positioned our Company to take advantage of opportunities to market to a broad customer base, which we believe will reduce the potential impact of industry consolidation, there can be no assurance that industry consolidation will not impact our business. Consolidation among our customers may result in delays in the awarding of new contracts and losses of existing business. Consolidation among our competitors may result in larger competitors with greater resources and market share, which could adversely affect our ability to compete successfully. Consolidation among our suppliers may result in fewer sources of supply and increased cost to us.

We depend upon a select base of large prime defense contractors for the majority of our revenue, which subjects us to unique risks which may adversely affect us.

We currently generate a majority of our revenues by producing products for numerous programs under contracts with three prime defense contractors to the U.S. Government. These significant customers – Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon – constituted approximately 32%, 22% and 19%, respectively of our 2021 revenue. Our revenues from these customers are diversified over a number of different aerospace and defense products, programs and subsidiaries within these customers, however, any significant change in production rates by any of these customers would have a material effect on our results of operations and cash flows. There is no assurance that our current significant customers will continue to buy products from us at current levels, that we will retain any or all of our existing significant customers, or that we will be able to form new relationships with other customers upon the loss of one or more of our existing significant customers.

We are subject to strict governmental regulations relating to the environment, which could result in fines and remediation expense in the event of non-compliance.

We are required to comply with extensive and frequently changing environmental regulations at the federal, state and local levels. Among other things, these regulatory bodies impose restrictions to control air, soil and water pollution, to protect against occupational exposure to chemicals, including health and safety risks, and to require notification or reporting of the storage, use and release of certain hazardous substances into the environment. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on us. In addition, these regulations may impose liability for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in our facilities without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the release of such substances. Furthermore, we are required to provide a place of employment that is free from recognized and preventable hazards that are likely to cause serious physical harm to employees, provide notice to employees regarding the presence of hazardous chemicals and to train employees in the use of such substances. Our operations require the use of a limited amount of chemicals and other materials for painting and cleaning that are classified under applicable laws as hazardous chemicals and substances. If we are found not to comply with any of these rules, regulations or permits, we may be subject to fines, remediation expenses and the obligation to change our business practice, any of which could result in substantial costs that would adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.

19

We may be subject to fines and disqualification for non-compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulations.

We are subject to regulation by the FAA under the provisions of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. The FAA prescribes standards and licensing requirements for aircraft and aircraft components. We are subject to inspections by the FAA and may be subjected to fines and other penalties (including orders to cease production) for noncompliance with FAA regulations. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in the termination of or our disqualification from some of our contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our contract performance and our ability to obtain future business and our profitability could be materially and adversely impacted.

Most of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services that we must provide to our customers. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontract, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of personnel of a subcontractor, or disputes concerning payment. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer eliminating our ability to progress bill or terminating our contract for default. A prohibition on progress billing may have an adverse effect upon our cash flow and profitability and a default termination could expose us to liability and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. In addition, a delay in our ability to obtain components and equipment parts from our suppliers may affect our ability to meet our customers’ needs and may have a material adverse effect upon our profitability. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, our supply chain, as described above.

Due to fixed contract pricing, increasing contract costs exposes us to reduced profitability and the potential loss of future business.

Operating margin is adversely affected when contract costs that cannot be billed to customers are incurred. This cost growth can occur if estimates to complete a contract increase due to technical challenges or if initial estimates used for calculating the contract price were incorrect. The cost estimation process requires significant judgment and expertise. Reasons for cost growth may include unavailability and productivity of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, the effect of any delays in performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer, natural disasters, pandemics, and the inability to recover any claims included in the estimates to complete. A significant increase in cost estimates on one or more programs could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

We use estimates when accounting for contracts. Changes in estimates may affect our profitability and our overall financial position.

We primarily recognize revenue from our contracts over the contractual period pursuant to ASC 606. Pursuant to ASC 606, revenue and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an asset captioned “Contract assets.” Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as a liability captioned “Contract liabilities.” Changes to the original estimates may be required during the term of the contract. Estimates are reviewed quarterly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period the change becomes known. ASC 606 requires the use of considerable estimates in determining revenues and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and taxes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any reporting period.

We continually evaluate all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of ASC 606; however, there is no assurance that our estimates will be accurate. If our estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, we will be forced to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if our estimates are accurate, we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and we may need to borrow money to pay for costs until the reported earnings materialize to actual cash receipts.

If the contracts associated with our backlog were terminated, our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

The maximum contract value specified under each contract that we enter into is not necessarily indicative of the revenues that we will realize under that contract. Because we may not receive the full amount we expect under a contract, we may not accurately estimate our backlog because the earnings of revenues on programs included in backlog may never occur or may change. Cancellations of pending contracts or terminations or reductions of contracts in progress would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

We may be unable to attract and retain personnel who are key to our operations.

Our success, among other things, is dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified senior officers and engineers. Competition for key personnel is intense. Our ability to attract and retain senior officers and experienced, top rate engineers is dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions and compensation packages offered by companies competing for the same talent and our reputation in the industry. If our reputation is adversely affected, for instance due to our handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may be unable to recruit, hire, and retain talented personnel. The inability to hire and retain these persons may adversely affect our production operations and other aspects of our business.

We are subject to intense competition for the skilled technicians necessary to manufacture our products.

We are subject to intense competition for the services of skilled technicians necessary to manufacture our products and those of other companies in the A&D industry. The demand for these individuals may increase as other manufacturers seek to bring to the U.S. manufacturing processes currently outsourced overseas. If the U.S. economy undergoes a period of inflation, our labor costs may increase which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to the cyclical nature of the commercial aerospace industry, and any future downturn in the commercial aerospace industry or general economic conditions, including related to COVID-19, could adversely impact the demand for our products.

Our business may be affected by certain characteristics and trends of the commercial aerospace industry or general economic conditions that affect our customers, such as fluctuations in the aerospace industry’s business cycle, varying fuel and labor costs, intense price competition and regulatory scrutiny, certain trends, including a possible decrease in aviation activity and a decrease in outsourcing by aircraft manufacturers or the failure of projected market growth to materialize or continue. In the event that these characteristics and trends adversely affect customers in the commercial aerospace industry, they may reduce the overall demand for our products. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted, and continues to impact, the commercial aerospace industry, as described above.

Our working capital requirements may negatively affect our liquidity and capital resources.

Our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending in part on the timing of new program awards and the payment terms with our customers and suppliers. If our working capital needs exceed our cash flows from operations, we would look to our cash balances and availability for borrowings under the BankUnited credit facility to satisfy those needs, as well as potential sources of additional capital, which may not be available on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, if at all.

We incur risks associated with new programs.

New programs with new technologies typically carry risks associated with design changes, development of new production tools, increased capital and funding commitments, ability to meet customer specifications, delivery schedules and unique contractual requirements, supplier performance, ability of the customer to meet its contractual obligations to us, and our ability to accurately estimate costs associated with such programs. In addition, any new program may not generate sufficient demand or may experience technological problems or significant delays in the regulatory or other certification or manufacturing and delivery schedule. If we were unable to perform our obligations under new programs to the customer’s satisfaction, if we were unable to manufacture products at our estimated costs, or if a new program in which we had made a significant investment was terminated or experienced weak demand, delays or technological problems, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. This risk includes the potential for default, quality problems, or inability to meet specifications, as well as our inability to negotiate final pricing for program changes, and could result in low margin or forward loss contracts, and the risk of having to write-off contract assets if they were deemed to be unrecoverable. In addition, beginning new work on existing programs also carries risk associated with the transfer of technology, knowledge and tooling.

21

In order to perform on new programs, we may be required to expend up-front costs which may not have been negotiated in our selling price. Additionally, we may have made margin assumptions related to those costs, that in the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, or if we are not successful in negotiating favorable margin on scope changes, could cause us to experience margin degradation which may be material, for costs that are not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

We are presently classified as a small business and the loss of our small business status may adversely affect our ability to compete for government contracts.

We are presently classified as a small business under the North American Industry Classification Systems (“NAICS”) industry and product specific codes that are regulated in the U.S. by the Small Business Administration. We are not considered a small business under all NAICS codes. While we do not presently derive a substantial portion of our business from contracts that are set-aside for small businesses, we are able to bid on small business set-aside contracts as well as contracts that are open to non-small business entities. As the NAICS codes are periodically revised, it is possible that we may lose our status as a small business. The loss of small business status would adversely affect our eligibility for special small business programs and limit our ability to collaborate with other business entities which are seeking to team with small business entities as may be required under a specific contract.

Cyber security attacks, internal system or service failures may adversely impact our business and operations.

Any system or service disruptions, including those caused by projects to improve our information technology systems, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide products and related services to our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could also be subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, intruders or hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks. Cyber security threats are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, phishing and other unauthorized attempts to gain access to sensitive, confidential or otherwise protected information related to us or our products, customers or suppliers, or other acts that could lead to disruptions in our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of our non-manufacturing employees to shift to work-from-home arrangements at times, which increases our vulnerability to email phishing, social engineering or “hacking” through our remote networks, and similar cyber-attacks aimed at employees working remotely. Because the techniques used by cyber-attackers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these tactics. Any such failures to prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs or subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate the risk of these threats, including contracting with an outside cyber security firm to provide constant monitoring of our systems, and training our employees to recognize attacks, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, expenditures incurred in implementing cyber security and other procedures and controls could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

22

Our financial results may be adversely impacted by the failure to successfully execute or integrate acquisitions and joint ventures.

The Company may evaluate potential acquisitions or joint ventures that align with our strategic objectives. The success of such activity depends, in part, upon our ability to identify suitable sellers or business partners, perform effective assessments prior to contract execution, negotiate contract terms, and, if applicable, obtain customer and government approval. These activities may present certain financial, managerial, staffing and talent, and operational risks, including diversion of management’s attention from existing core businesses, difficulties integrating or separating businesses from existing operations, and challenges presented by acquisitions or joint ventures which may not achieve sales levels and profitability that justify the investments made. If the acquisitions or joint ventures are not successfully implemented or completed, there could be a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our ability to utilize our tax benefits could be substantially limited if we fail to generate sufficient income or if we experience an “ownership change.”

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $81.9 million of gross net operating losses (“NOLs”) for federal tax purposes and approximately $40.5 million of post-apportionment NOLs for state tax purposes. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020, NOLs arising before January 1, 2018, and NOLs arising after January 1, 2018, are subject to different rules. Our pre-2018 NOLs totaled approximately $78.9 million; these NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2034 through 2039, if not utilized, and can offset 100% of future taxable income for regular tax purposes. Our NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 can generally be carried back five years, carried forward indefinitely and can offset 100% of taxable income for tax years before January 1, 2021 and up to 80% of taxable income for tax years after December 31, 2020. Any NOLs arising on or after January 1, 2021, cannot be carried back, can generally be carried forward indefinitely and can offset up to 80% of future taxable income.

Our ability to fully recognize the benefits from our NOLs is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient income prior to their expiration. In addition, our NOL carryforwards may be limited if we experience an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”). In general, an ownership change under Section 382 occurs if 5% shareholders increase their collective ownership of the aggregate amount of our outstanding shares by more than 50 percentage points over a relevant lookback period. For the year ended December 31, 2021 we have determined that no ownership change occurred during the relevant lookback period that would limit our ability to use our NOLs, however the sale of additional equity securities in the future may trigger an ownership change under Section 382 which could significantly limit our ability to utilize our tax benefits.

Increased scrutiny from investors, lenders, and other market participants regarding our environmental, social, and governance, or sustainability responsibilities could expose us to additional costs and adversely impact our liquidity, results of operations, reputation, employee retention, and stock price.

There is an increasing focus from certain investors, customers, and other key stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors. Some investors may use ESG criteria to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to corporate responsibilities are inadequate.

The ESG factors by which companies’ corporate responsibility practices are assessed may change. This could result in greater expectations of us and cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. If we are unable to satisfy the new corporate responsibility criteria, investors may view our policies related to corporate responsibility as inadequate. We risk damage to our reputation in the event our corporate responsibility procedures or goals do not meet the standards or goals set by various constituencies. In addition, if our competitors’ corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be greater than ours, potential or current investors may elect to invest in our competitors instead. Further, in the event we communicate certain initiatives or goals related to ESG, we could fail, or be perceived to have failed, in our achievement of such initiatives or goals. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors and other key stakeholders, or our initiatives are not executed as planned, our reputation, employee retention, and willingness of our customers and suppliers to do business with us, financial results, and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Liquidity

We obtained amendments to and received waivers of and consents to non-compliance with certain covenants under our credit facility with BankUnited and there can be no assurance that we will not fall out of compliance with our covenants in the future.

The Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its credit facility (the “BankUnited Facility” or the “Credit Agreement”) with BankUnited, N.A. (“BankUnited”) for the year ended December 31, 2020,the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2021 and the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and financial statement submission covenants for the year ended December 31, 2020, the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2021 and the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 and obtained amendments to and received waivers of and consents to the non-compliance, as described in more detail in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that we will be in compliance with our covenants in the future or that BankUnited will grant further waivers if we fall out of compliance or consents to future non-compliance. If we fall out of compliance with our banking covenants, BankUnited may declare a default under the BankUnited Facility and, among other remedies, could declare the full amount of the BankUnited Facility immediately due and payable and could foreclose against our collateral. If this were to occur, we may be unable to secure outside financing, if needed, to fund ongoing operations and for other capital needs. Any sources of financing that may be available to us could also be at higher costs and require us to satisfy more restrictive covenants, which could limit or restrict our operations, cash flows and earnings. We cannot ensure that additional financing would be available to us, or be sufficient or available on satisfactory terms.

Our capital requirements, liquidity and financial condition raise significant risk as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending in part on the timing of the conclusion of mature programs and new program awards and the payment terms with our customers and suppliers. There is currently no availability for borrowings under our credit facility (the “BankUnited Facility”) and the Company finances its operations from internally generated cash flow. Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II - Item 8 includes a discussion regarding the BankUnited Facility and recent amendments thereto which provide, among other things, for increases in principal payments and the interest rate on the loans provided for therein. Also, the Company currently has a shareholders’ deficit and has experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations in prior periods. These factors collectively represent significant risk to the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern and management has assessed these risks. Based upon this assessment and the execution of the plans described in Part II Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Business Outlook - Liquidity, it is management’s estimation that there will likely not be any individual conditions or combination of events that will occur in the coming year which would cause the Company to be unable to meet its obligations or otherwise continue as a going concern. However, we cannot ensure that such plans will accomplish their intended goals.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. | PROPERTIES

CPI Aero’s executive offices and production facilities are situated in an approximately 171,000 square foot building located at 91 Heartland Blvd., Edgewood, New York 11717.

Item 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Settlement of Working Capital Dispute

In December 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of WMI from Air Industries for a purchase price of $7.9 million, subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment. Of the purchase price, $2 million was placed in escrow at closing and was to be released after the completion of the working capital adjustment and for indemnification contingencies. Air Industries objected to the Company’s calculation of the post-closing working capital adjustment and rejected the determination of BDO, the independent accountant appointed by the parties to resolve the 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 seeking, among other things, a judgment against Air Industries in the amount of approximately $4.1 million. In October 2019, Air Industries and the Company jointly authorized the release to the Company of approximately $619,000 from escrow, which represented the value of certain undisputed items.

The Company and Air Industries entered into a settlement agreement dated as of December 23, 2020, to resolve the post-closing working capital adjustment dispute in exchange for the release to the Company of the $1,381,000 cash remaining in escrow. Such amount was released from escrow to the Company on December 28, 2020. As part of the settlement agreement CPI Aero agreed to give up the right to pursue the additional disputed working capital amount of approximately $2.1 million.

Class Action Lawsuit

As previously disclosed, a consolidated class action lawsuit (captioned Rodriguez v. CPI Aerostructures, Inc., et al., No. 20-cv-01026) has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the two underwriters of the Company’s October 16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint in the action asserts claims on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC, by making false and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, including interest; rescission or a rescissory measure of damages; unspecified equitable or injunctive relief; and costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On February 19, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff submitted a brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 23, 2021.

On May 20, 2021, the parties reached a settlement in the amount of $3,600,000, subject to court approval. On July 9, 2021, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 10, 2021, a magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the motion for preliminary approval in its entirety. The Court adopted the recommendation on May 27, 2022, and entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on June 7, 2022. The magistrate judge will hold a hearing on September 9, 2022 to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. After satisfaction of our $750,000 retention, the Settlement Amount will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2021, we have previously paid or accrued to our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and have therefore met our directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which caps the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.

As of December 31, 2021, in order to reflect the amounts owed from our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier and to the Plaintiffs, we have recorded to our balance sheet a litigation settlement obligation of $3,003,259 and an insurance recovery receivable of $2,850,000; this obligation and receivable will be relieved from our balance sheet upon the payment of the Settlement Amount to the Plaintiff by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier.

25

Shareholder Derivative Action

Four shareholder derivative actions, each based on substantially the same facts as those alleged in the class action discussed above, have been filed against current members of our board of directors and certain of our current and former officers.

The first action (captioned Moulton v. McCrosson, et.al., No. 20-cv-02092) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. It purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment 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, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On January 27, 2021, the Court stayed the action pursuant to a joint stipulation filed by the parties.

The second action (captioned Woodyard v. McCrosson, et al., Index No. 613169/2020) was filed on September 17, 2020, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Suffolk County). It purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, 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, along with declaratory, equitable, injunctive and monetary relief, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs. On December 22, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation staying the action pending further developments in the class action.

The third action (captioned Berger v. McCrosson, et al., No. 1:20-cv-05454) was filed on November 10, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.The complaint, which is based on the shareholder’s inspection of certain corporate books and records, purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and seeks to implement reforms to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures and to recover on behalf of the Company an unspecified amount of monetary damages. The complaint also seeks equitable, injunctive, and monetary relief, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs.

On March 19, 2021, the parties to the Moulton and Berger actions filed a joint stipulation consolidating the actions (under the caption In re CPI Aerostructures Stockholder Derivative Litigation, No. 20-cv-02092) and staying the consolidated action pending further developments in the class action.

The fourth action (captioned Wurst v. Bazaar, et al., Index No. 605244/2021) was filed on March 24, 2021, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Suffolk County). The complaint purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets, 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, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs. On April 12, 2021, the parties filed a joint stipulation staying the action pending further developments in the class action.

On June 13, 2022, the plaintiffs in the consolidated federal action informed the Court that the Company and all defendants had reached an agreement in principle with all plaintiffs to settle the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. On June 16, 2022, the plaintiffs in the consolidated federal action filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On July 22, 2022, the Court referred the motion to the magistrate judge; the motion remains pending. The settlement is subject to Court approval and, if approved, will result in the dismissal of the shareholder derivative lawsuits. As part of the proposed settlement, the Company has agreed to undertake (or confirm that it has undertaken already) certain corporate governance reforms and to pay attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ counsel. The attorneys’ fees will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier, after satisfaction of our $750,000 retention.

SEC Investigation

On May 22, 2020, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC Division of Enforcement (the “Division”) seeking documents and information relating, among other things, to previously disclosed errors in and restatement 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. By letter dated March 12, 2021, the Division Staff notified the Company that the Division has concluded its investigation and, based on the information the Division has as of such date, it does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. The Division’s notice was provided under the guidelines described in the final paragraph of Securities Act Release No. 5310 which states in part that the notice “must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the staff’s investigation.”

PART II

Item 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Before May 20, 2022 our shares of common stock were traded on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “CVU”. On May 19, 2022, the NYSE American exchange announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the Exchange’s SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings. A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for September 7, 2022. The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review although trading on the Exchange remains suspended.

Shares of our common stock can only be traded in the OTC Markets Group’s Expert Market under the symbol “CVUA”. The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors.

See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors - “The NYSE American exchange has suspended trading of our common stock and may delist our common stock from trading on the exchange. If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American exchange, our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired” and “There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock and investors are not assured of the opportunity to make transactions in our common stock.”

On August 15, 2022, there were 589 holders of record of our shares of common stock. We believe there are substantially more beneficial holders of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. Any payment of dividends in the future is within the discretion of our board of directors (subject to the limitation on dividends contained in the BankUnited Facility, as described more fully in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and will depend on our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors. Our board of directors does not intend to declare any cash or other dividends in the foreseeable future, but intends instead to retain earnings, if any, for use in our business operations.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There have been no sales of unregistered equity securities for the three months ended December 31, 2021. There have been no repurchases of our outstanding common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

27

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table sets forth certain information at December 31, 2021 with respect to our equity compensation plans that provide for the issuance of options, warrants or rights to purchase our securities:

Plan Category |  | Number of Securities to be Issued upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights |  | Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights |  | Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans (excluding securities reflected in the first column)
Equity Compensation Plans Approved by Security Holders |  | — |  | $— |  | 475,045
Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Security Holders |  | — |  | — |  | —
Total |  | — |  | $— |  | 475,045

Long-term equity incentives are an important component of compensation and are designed to align the interests of our executive officers and directors who receive long-term equity awards with the Company’s long-term performance and to increase shareholder value. The Company has awarded long-term incentive compensation pursuant to two plans:

2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, authorizes the grant of 1,400,000 shares of our common stock, which may be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options, and other stock-based awards, to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company. As of December 31, 2021, we have granted 927,319 shares under this plan and 472,681 shares remained available for grant under this plan.

Performance Equity Plan 2009. The Performance Equity Plan 2009 authorizes the grant of 500,000 stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options, and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2021, we have granted 497,636 shares under this plan and 2,364 shares remained available for grant.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties and should be read together with the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Recent Developments

NYSE American Listing Standards Non-Compliance and Delisting Determination

On May 19, 2022, the Exchange announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the Exchange’s SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Company Guide and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to the Committee. A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for September 7, 2022. The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review.

28

We will become current with our SEC reports upon the filing of the 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and the 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q. The Company believes that becoming current with our SEC reports will resolve the condition that led to NYSE American suspending trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and its determination to commence proceedings to delist the common stock from the Exchange. The 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as practicable. We cannot assure you that if the Company becomes current with our SEC reports before the Hearing or the outcome of the Hearing will result in the Exchange changing its delisting determination or that our common stock will resume trading on the Exchange in the future.

On September 17, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange 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 is therefore subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to the Exchange 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 the Exchange that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company’s common stock is not delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s delayed filings as described above and (i) the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or (ii) the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors - “The NYSE American exchange has suspended trading of our common stock and may delist our common stock from trading on the exchange. If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American exchange, our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired”.

Trading of Common Stock on Expert Market

The Company is not current in its SEC reporting obligations with respect to its 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and its 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q. Companies that are not current in their SEC reporting obligations in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c-11 (“Rule 15c2-11”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, do not have current information publicly available and do not meet the requirements for ongoing quoting of their securities on one of the public markets (the “OTC Markets”) operated by the OTC Markets Group. Effective July 15, 2022, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s “Expert Market.”

The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors. Accordingly, investors are not assured of the opportunity to purchase or sell their shares when they desire to do so or at all.

See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors - “There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock and investors are not assured of the opportunity to make transactions in our common stock.”

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 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 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 the 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 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 reevaluated 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 the 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 was $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 was $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 was $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 was $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 Non-POC Contracts. The Inventory Costing Errors did not affect income reported with respect to the Company’s POC Contracts. The Loss Contract Reserve and the Additional Inventory Reserves also only affected the income reported with respect to the Company’s Non-POC Contracts, and did 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.

30

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of these matters.

As a result of the restatement caused by the Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves, the Company reported net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 which was $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (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 was $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 was $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.

The 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 Part II, Item 8 Note 16, “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

As previously reported, on April 10, 2020, we obtained a loan from Dime Community Bank (formerly BNB Bank) as the lender (“Dime”), in the principal amount of $4,795,000 (“PPP Loan”) 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”). The Company submitted its PPP Loan 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 were fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP Loan, for eligibility and other criteria, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP Loan was forgiven and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

Settlement of Class Action

As previously disclosed, a consolidated class action lawsuit has been filed against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the two underwriters of the Company’s October 16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint in the action asserts claims on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges 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 between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, including interest; rescission or a rescissory measure of damages; unspecified equitable or injunctive relief; and costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On February 19, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff submitted a brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 23, 2021.

32

On May 20, 2021, the parties reached a settlement in the amount of $3,600,000, subject to court approval. On July 9, 2021, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 10, 2021, a magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the motion for preliminary approval in its entirety. The Court adopted the recommendation on May 27, 2022, and entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on June 7, 2022. The magistrate judge will hold a hearing on September 9, 2022 to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. After satisfaction of our $750,000 retention, the Settlement Amount will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2021, we have previously paid or accrued to our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and have therefore met our directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which caps the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.

As of December 31, 2021, in order to reflect the amounts owed from our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier and to the Plaintiffs, we have recorded to our balance sheet a litigation settlement obligation of $3,003,259 and an insurance recovery receivable of $2,850,000; this obligation and receivable will be relieved from our balance sheet upon the payment of the Settlement Amount to the Plaintiff by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier.

Impact of COVID-19

The impact that the recent COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business remains uncertain.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during our first quarter of 2020. During the latter part of that quarter and subsequent to that quarter end, the COVID-19 pandemic grew, causing non-essential businesses to shut down and many people to observe the shelter-in-place directive from our state government. Our business and operations and the industries in which we operate have been impacted by public and private sector policies and initiatives in the U.S. to address the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions and the adoption of remote work. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy, has adversely impacted the businesses of certain of our customers and suppliers, and, if it continues for an extended period of time, it could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. In response to the COVID-19 impact on our business, we have been and continue to actively mitigate costs. We have also been taking actions to preserve capital and protect the long-term needs of our businesses, including negotiating progress payments with our customers and reducing discretionary spending. For more information on the current and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During late 2020, we began to experience an increased rate of employees testing positive for COVID-19 and we took steps to mitigate virus transmission within the workplace. These steps included adding a second manufacturing shift to lessen employee density on the manufacturing floor and to require most non-manufacturing personnel to work from home. These measures continued into 2021. Despite these measures, we experienced a relatively high level of absenteeism directly or indirectly related to COVID-19. We have taken mitigating steps in an attempt to reduce the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our business. For example, we have curtailed discretionary spending and business travel, and taken other steps to preserve cash. We have also taken action to more closely manage the flow of materials to be more responsive to unanticipated changes in customer delivery schedules. Since May 2021 and through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have experienced a decrease in the impact of COVID-19. However, we believe that the impact of COVID-19 on illness and absence rates, workflows and productivity at the Company and our business providers has been a contributing factor to the time required for our financial statement closing processes and the delayed filing of our SEC reports. Most non-manufacturing personnel have now returned to their regular in-person work schedules and we have returned to a single day shift manufacturing operation, although we do continue to experience employees and business partners with new COVID-19 diagnoses on an intermittent basis and we take needed steps to mitigate these impacts on the Company’s operation as they occur.

Certain Transactions

The following transactions occurred during the periods covered by this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

Acquisition of WMI

In December 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of WMI from Air Industries for a purchase price of $7.9 million, subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment. Of the purchase price, $2 million was placed in escrow at closing and was to be released after the completion of the working capital adjustment and for indemnification contingencies. Air Industries objected to the Company’s calculation of the post-closing working capital adjustment and rejected the determination of BDO, the independent accountant appointed by the parties to resolve the 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 seeking, among other things, a judgment against Air Industries in the amount of approximately $4.1 million. In October 2019, Air Industries and the Company jointly authorized the release to the Company of approximately $619,000 from escrow, which represented the value of certain undisputed items.

The Company and Air Industries entered into a settlement agreement dated as of December 23, 2020, to resolve the post-closing working capital adjustment dispute in exchange for the release to the Company of the $1,381,000 cash remaining in escrow. Such amount was released from escrow to the Company on December 28, 2020. As part of the settlement agreement CPI Aero agreed to give up the right to pursue the additional disputed working capital amount of approximately $2.1 million.

Honda Aircraft Company, Inc. Settlement and Release Agreement

In January 2020, the Company requested a modification to the recurring sales price contained in the Master Purchase Agreement dated January 14, 2019 (“Honda MPA”) with Honda Aircraft Company, Inc. (“HACI”) for the manufacture of engine inlet assemblies for the HondaJet aircraft. HACI denied the Company’s request. HACI and the Company subsequently commenced discussions that would result in the Company exiting the program. On December 23, 2020 HACI and the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement that, subject to the terms and conditions therein, terminates the Honda MPA and cancels all remaining purchase orders placed with the Company thereunder.

Gulfstream G650 Program

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 that we 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 Aerospace’s intention at the conclusion of the transaction is to continue to purchase G650 wing components from the Company. In December 2020, the Company received purchase orders from Gulfstream Aerospace for G650 wing components.

Business Operations

We are engaged in the contract production of structural aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial and defense markets. We also have a strong and growing presence in the aerosystems segment of the market, with our production of various reconnaissance pod structures and fuel panel systems. Within the global aerostructure and aerosystem supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft OEMs or a Tier 2 subcontractor to major Tier 1 manufacturers. We also are a prime contractor to the U.S. DOD, primarily the USAF. In conjunction with our assembly operations, we provide engineering, program management, supply chain management and kitting, and MRO services.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the good or service. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. Under the overtime revenue recognition model, revenue and gross profit are recognized over the contract period as work is performed based on actual costs incurred and an estimate of costs to complete and resulting total estimated costs at completion. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Revenue Recognition” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The Company capitalizes labor, material, subcontractor and overhead costs as work-in-process for contracts where control has not yet passed to the customer. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with its suppliers, and the estimated usability for its inventory. If the Company’s review indicates a reduction in usability below carrying value, it reduces its net inventory to a new cost basis.

Leases

The Company does not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases. In addition, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of assets (office building).

The Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities at December 31, 2021 were approximately $7.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively, using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5%, as compared to ROU assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 of $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Goodwill

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU-2017-04). ASU 2017-04 is intended to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment. This is accomplished by removing the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities in order to calculate a reporting unit’s “implied” goodwill. The goodwill impairment test consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

An entity may still perform the optional qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. However, the ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to perform a qualitative assessment for any reporting unit with zero or negative carrying amount. The Company adopted ASU-2017-4 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

The following discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

35

Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $103,369,544 compared to $87,584,690 for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of $15,784,854 or 18%. We experienced revenue increases on our Raytheon Next Generation Jammer (“NGJ”) Pod program, Raytheon NRC Wing program and USAF T-38 Pacer Classic program.

Revenue generated from prime government contracts for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3,658,383 compared to $9,115,983 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $5,457,600. This decrease is primarily a result of decreased revenue recognized on the T-38 Pacer Classic program and the F-16 program.

Revenue generated from government subcontracts for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $93,663,383 compared to $70,106,741 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $23,556,642. The increase in revenue related to increases in the following programs; Raytheon Next Generation Jammer (“NGJ”) Pod program, the Raytheon NRC Wing program, the Pacer Classic III Phase 3 program, the Boeing A-10 program, the Northrop Grumman WOWP program and the Lockheed Martin F-35 lock program.

Revenue generated from commercial contracts for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $6,047,779 compared to $8,361,966 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $2,314,187. The decrease in revenue resulted from the decrease in the HondaJet program and the Sikorsky S-92 Kit program.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $88,364,452 and $77,824,732, respectively, an increase of $10,539,720, or 14%.

The components of cost of sales were as follows:

|  | Years ended
|  | December 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Procurement |  | $ | 64,628,025 |  |  | $ | 56,337,476 |
Labor |  |  | 7,843,520 |  |  |  | 6,414,658 |
Factory overhead |  |  | 19,462,924 |  |  |  | 20,803,029 |
Other cost of sales |  |  | (3,570,017 | ) |  |  | (5,730,431 | )
Cost of sales |  | $ | 88,364,452 |  |  | $ | 77,824,732 |

Procurement for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $64,628,025 compared to $56,337,476 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $8,290,549 or 14.7%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in procurement for the Sikorsky HIRSS program, Raytheon NGJ Mid-Band Pod Program, Raytheon Multi-Purpose Booster Development Wing Assembly program and the Boeing A-10 Re-wing programs.

Labor costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $7,843,520 compared to $6,414,658 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $1,428,862 or 22.3%. The increase is primarily the result of labor associated with the Raytheon NGJ Mid-Band Pod program, the Northrop Grumman Tubes program, the Boeing A-10 Re-wing program, and the Lockheed Martin F-16 Rudder Island program, which were very labor intensive.

Factory overhead costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $19,462,924 compared to $20,803,029 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $1,340,105 or 6.4%. The decrease is primarily the result of more productivity on programs such as the Raytheon NGJ Mid-Band Pod program, the Northrop Grumman E-2D program, the Northrop Grumman Outer Wing Panel program, the Northrop Grumman Wet Outer Wing Panel Program, and the Boeing A-10 Re-wing program, which led to higher labor absorption rates and lower overhead costs.

Other cost of sales relates to items that can increase or decrease cost of sales such as changes in inventory levels, changes in inventory valuation, changes to inventory reserves, changes in loss contract provisions and direct charges to cost of sales. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there was a reduction of costs in the amount of ($3,570,017), primarily the result of changes in inventory levels and reductions in loss contract reserves. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there was a reduction in costs of ($5,730,431), primarily the result of changes in inventory levels and reductions in loss contract reserves.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $15,005,092 compared to $9,759,958 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $5,245,134 or 54%. Gross profit percentage (“gross margin”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 14.5% compared to 11.1% for year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily on the Raytheon NGJ Mid-Band Pod program, the Northrop Grumman E-2D program, the Northrop Grumman Outer Wing Panel program, the Northrop Grumman Wet Outer Wing Panel program, and the Boeing A-10 Re-wing program, which experienced growth in revenue, and a decrease in factory overhead costs.

Favorable/Unfavorable Adjustments to Gross Profit

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we made changes in estimates to various contracts. Such changes in estimates resulted in changes in total gross profit as follows:

|  | Years Ended
|  | December 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Favorable adjustments |  | $ | 4,066,857 |  |  | $ | 2,241,357 |
Unfavorable adjustments |  |  | (4,277,930 | ) |  |  | (3,975,745 | )
Net adjustments |  | $ | (211,073 | ) |  | $ | (1,734,388 | )

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $11,823,921 compared to $12,046,171 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $222,250 or 1.8%. This decrease was primarily due to decreased legal and accounting expenses compared to the prior period, which included the costs associated with the 2018 and 2019 restatement of our consolidated financial statements, partially offset by increases in our business insurance premiums during 2021.

Other income

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $4,795,000, compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2020. The other income in 2021 was due to the forgiveness of the PPP loan by the SBA on July 31, 2021.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1,141,189, compared to $1,421,955 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $280,766 or 19.7%. The decrease in interest expense is the result of continued principal repayment on our term loan with Bank United.

Income (loss) before provision for income taxes

We had an income before provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $6,834,982 compared to a loss before provision from income taxes of ($3,708,167) for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $10,543,149. Excluding the PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA on July 1, 2021, our income before provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2,039,982, an increase over the prior year of $5,748,149, which was driven by the increase in gross profit, decrease in SG&A and decrease in interest expense described above.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The income tax provision (benefit) for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $14,609, an effective tax rate of 0.21%, compared to a benefit of ($53,414) for the year ended December 31, 2020, an effective tax rate of (1.4)%. The income tax provision in 2021 is mostly the result of state franchise and minimum taxes. The tax benefit in 2020 consists of a refund received from the 2014 NOL carryback claim and state minimum taxes. In February 2019, the Company received information that the net operating loss carryback that was utilized in 2014 was under examination and could possibly be partially disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). This adjustment was an issue of timing of the loss and had no income tax provision effect. In June 2020, the Company received a letter from the IRS stating that the returns will be accepted as filed. In September 2020, the Company received additional refunds related to the tax years under examination. The examination is now closed and there is no uncertain tax position recorded for this item.

37

Net income (loss)

Net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $6,820,373 compared to a net loss of $(3,654,753) for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net income was driven by the increase in gross profit, the PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA on July 1, 2021, the decrease in SG&A and the decrease in interest expense, partly offset by an increase in provision for income taxes. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.56 for the year ended December 31, 2021 calculated utilizing 12,193,826 weighted average shares outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share was $(0.31) for the year ended December 31, 2020 calculated utilizing 11,884,307 weighted average shares outstanding.

Excluding the $4,795,000 PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA on July 1, 2021, our net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2,025,373, an increase over the prior year of $5,680,126, which was driven by the increase in gross profit, the decrease in SG&A and the decrease in interest expense, partly offset by an increase in provision for income taxes. Excluding the aforementioned PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA on July 1, 2021, our basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.17 as compared to the $(0.31) loss per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Business Outlook

The statements in the “Business Outlook” section and other forward-looking statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are subject to revision during the course of the year in our quarterly earnings releases and SEC filings and at other times.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. At December 31, 2021, we had working capital of $12,175,776 compared to working capital of $7,674,974 at December 31, 2020, an increase of $4,500,802, or 58.6%. This increase is primarily the result of a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in contract assets, net.

Cash Flow. A large portion of our cash is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of contract assets on our consolidated balance sheet and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.

Because ASC 606 requires us to use estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money or take steps to defer cash outflows until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

Several of our programs require us to expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units. In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could experience margin degradation, which may be material for costs that are not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity and results of operations.

We continue to work to obtain better payment terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternative funding sources.

At December 31, 2021, our cash balance was $6,308,866 compared to $6,033,537 at December 31, 2020, an increase of $275,329. Our accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2021 of $4,967,714 was nearly the same as the balance at December 31, 2020 of $4,962,906.

BankUnited Facility

On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement. The BankUnited Facility originally provided for a revolving credit loan commitment of $30 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and a $10 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate based upon a pricing grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

On August 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). Under the Sixth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and Term Loan to May 2, 2022 and making conforming changes to the repayment schedule of the Term Loan. The availability under the Revolving Loan was reduced by $6 million, to $24 million, and the outstanding principal amount on the Term Note was increased to approximately $7,933,000.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Waiver and Seventh Amendment (“Seventh Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. 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. Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information.

On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Waiver and Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement.

Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited waived certain covenant non-compliance and waived temporarily, late delivery of certain financial information. In connection with the Eighth Amendment, a $250,000 amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) was earned by the lenders on December 31, 2021 which the Company elected to pay in kind and accrue and capitalize rather than pay in cash. As at December 31, 2021, the Amendment Fee payable was posted by BankUnited to the Revolving Loan and on February 11, 2022, in agreement with the Company, the Amendment Fee was reclassified by BankUnited to the Term Loan. The Company has recorded this payable to its financial statements accordingly.

On April 12, 2022 the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Ninth Amendment (the “Ninth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Ninth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to September 30, 2023, (b) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments of $250,000 on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through December 31, 2022 and (c) increasing the interest on the Revolving Loan, Term Loan, and the Amendment Fee as follows: through June 30, 2022, Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5%; from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6%; from November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 7%; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, Prime Rate plus 8%.

39

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires us to maintain the following financial covenants (subject to the exclusions provided for in the previous paragraph): (a) minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 0.95 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, and 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and for the trailing four quarter periods ended thereafter; (b) maximum leverage ratio of no less than 7.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 6.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, 5.0 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and 4.0 to 1 for the trailing four quarter periods thereafter; (c) minimum net income after taxes as of the end of each fiscal quarter being no less than $1.00 commencing June 30, 2022; and (d) a minimum adjusted EBITDA at the end of each quarter of no less than $1.0 million (waived for the quarter ended March 31, 2022). The additional principal payments, increase in interest and the Amendment Fee provided for in the Eight Amendment and Ninth Amendment are excluded for purposes of calculating compliance with each of the financial covenants.

PPP Loan

On April 10, 2020, we entered into the PPP Loan, with BNB Bank (now part of Dime Community Bank (“Dime”)) as the lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $4,795,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. On November 2, 2020, the Company applied to the lender for full forgiveness of the PPP Loan as calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. On July 13, 2021, the Company received notification through Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon were fully forgiven by the Small Business Association and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) and, subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan had a fixed interest rate interest of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred and had an initial term of two years. The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP Loan, for eligibility and other criteria, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP Loan was forgiven and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request. All amounts are classified as current or long term in accordance with the Note terms.

Liquidity

Our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending in part on the timing of the conclusion of mature programs and new program awards and the payment terms with our customers and suppliers. There is currently no availability for borrowings under the BankUnited Facility and the Company finances its operations from internally generated cash flow. Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II - Item 8 includes a discussion regarding the BankUnited Facility and recent amendments thereto which provide, among other things, for increases in principal payments and the interest rate on the loans provided for therein. Also, the Company currently has a shareholders’ deficit and has experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations in prior periods. These factors collectively represent significant risk to the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern. Management has assessed these risks and to address them, the Company has (i) negotiated and executed a further amendment to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to September 30, 2023, (ii) obtained and is seeking additional progress payment and advance payment customer contract funding provisions, (iii) maintained procedures to reduce investments in inventory and contract assets, (iv) remained focused on its military segment which has proven to be less susceptible to COVID-19 related impacts and (v) maintained its approximately $135 million backlog of funded orders, 98% of which are for military programs. Based upon this assessment and the execution of the plans described above it is management’s estimation that there will likely not be any individual conditions or combination of events that will occur in the coming year which would cause the Company to be unable to meet its obligations or otherwise continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that such plans will accomplish their intended goals.

40

Cost Reduction Initiative

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company began a cost reduction initiative designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs during fiscal year 2022. Management is reallocating resources and reducing operating and general administrative expenses to more properly align the Company’s costs to anticipated near-term revenue given the timing differences between the conclusion of certain mature programs and the commencement of new programs in 2022. The Company executed a headcount reduction and furlough action in March 2022 and is implementing cost controls and cuts during the balance of fiscal year 2022. The Company anticipates recording severance costs related to the headcount reduction in its first fiscal quarter of 2022 and the cost reductions of these actions are anticipated to positively impact the financial results of the Company beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.

Contractual Obligations.

The table below summarizes information about our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2021 and the effects these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in the future years. The Company is required to make $4,733,333 in principal payments on its outstanding term loan payable within three years from December 31, 2021, $422,595 in payments on its outstanding equipment capital lease obligations within five years from December 31, 2021 and $8,026,181 in payments on its outstanding building and equipment operating lease obligations within, primarily, five years from December 31, 2021.

Inflation.

Inflation historically has not had a material effect on our operations. The Company’s long term contracts with both its customers and suppliers reflect fixed pricing. When bidding for work, the Company takes inflation risk and supply side pricing risk into account in its proposals.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021 because of the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

2021 Material Weaknesses

In connection with management’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described above, management identified the deficiencies described below that constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. These deficiencies led to material errors in our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the annual periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, which in turn led to the restatement of those previously issued consolidated financial statements, as described in Part II, Item 8, Note 16 “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| (1) | Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities and Monitoring

During Q1 2021, we identified material weaknesses from the month end closing process and INFORXA module used by the Company to maintain the perpetual inventory reporting. The following issues were identified:

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to monitoring and review of inventory costing were not sufficient to ensure proper valuation of appropriately stated inventory costs, as detailed below.

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to preparation and review of financial statement disclosures were not sufficient to ensure the completeness and accuracy of required disclosures:

42

| (2) | Accounting for Inventory & related IT environment

Those which resulted in the need to restate the 2020 Financial Statements of CPI:

| ● | Double Labor and Overhead: The INFORXA module did not work as intended to prevent labor applied to inventory from being just the amount of labor incurred and it did not include any control or reporting to detect that a reversing transaction in the coding was not occurring, which resulted in duplicate labor applied to inventory. The Company did not have a control in place to adequately review and approve the reasonableness of the entries posted to the general ledger to record differences in cost of goods sold for the differences between general ledger inventory and perpetual inventory.

| ● | Unit of measure: As part of the Q1 2021 closing process, we identified that that the perpetual inventory included some unit of measure errors which were not detected and corrected within the 2020 general ledger. Units of Measure (“UM”) were not consistent between quantities ordered and quantities received for certain classes of purchased parts. This resulted in overstatements of inventory values due to UM’s not being consistent with unit prices on purchase orders to suppliers. Errors occurred when the need for corrections to unit costs went undetected until a subsequent quarter as a result of (a) only having a detective control in place to scan for apparent UM issues that stand out when our accounting department reviews the month-end perpetual inventory reports, and (b) not having a comprehensive enough list of the commodity codes in the UM conversion tables within the INFORXA module.

| ● | Average Cost: The pre-implementation testing that was performed in the test environment on an INFORXA Software Patch that was written and went live into the system in July 2020 did not detect that the system as patched would erroneously omit the reset of one field used by the system in calculating the average cost per unit correctly, thus causing the live system as patched to perform incorrect average cost calculations on some parts.

| ● | QC01 Accrual: The monthly journal entry log used to manage the month end close process did not contain the requirement to determine and post a month end QC01 (inventory received in-house awaiting quality inspection) inventory accrual. An automated accrual for goods received, not yet in inventory does not occur until after the parts have passed QC. Until the parts pass QC, they are in the warehouse location “QC01”. Therefore, the company needs to record an accrual to increase its purchases of inventory for those goods in QC01 at each balance sheet date since there is no automated accrual by Infor.

| ● | Deferral of under-absorbed overhead in the balance sheet: The monthly journal entry log used to manage the month end close process did not contain the requirement to determine and post a full absorption adjustment (under/over absorbed overhead deferral into inventory). As such, the company did not have a process to record over or under absorbed overhead at the end of each quarter.

Those which resulted in the need to restate the 2019 Financial Statements of CPI:

| ● | Loss Contract Reserve for Contracts where Revenue and Costs are Recognized on a Point-in-Time Basis (“Non-POC Contracts”): There was no evaluation of Non-POC Contracts to determine if a loss reserve should be established and maintained for Non-POC Contracts which management has reason to believe may result in losses.

| ● | Excess and Obsolete Inventory Reserve: There was no process for evaluating and recording reserves against inventory for excess and obsolete inventory.

Remediation Status of Previously Reported 2020 Material Weakness

In connection with management’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that some, but not all, of the material weaknesses reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been remediated and that some, but not all, internal controls put in place to prevent future occurrences of these material weaknesses were effective as of December 31, 2021.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to further the overall objective to design and operate internal controls that mitigate identified risks and enable an effective system of internal control over external financial reporting.

43

CPI is a non-accelerated filer for 2021. As such, CPI is not subject to the requirement to have an auditor attestation report on internal control over financial reporting in the 10-K filed in 2022 for 2021. Accordingly, based upon its internal testing, management believes that as of December 31, 2021, it has not successfully remediated all of the internal control weaknesses which gave rise to the material errors as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as follows:

Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities and Monitoring

Not Remediated as of December 31, 2021

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to monitoring and review of inventory costing were not sufficient to ensure proper valuation of appropriately stated inventory costs:

During 2021, the Company Diagnosed, designed, tested and implemented software changes to its perpetual inventory system to improve management’s ability to properly value stated inventory costs. During 2022, the Company continues to improve its internal controls related to monitoring and review of inventory costing.

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to preparation and review of financial statement disclosures were not sufficient to ensure the completeness and accuracy of required disclosures:

During 2021, the Company recruited and hired a new Chief Financial Officer, a new Controller, and several new financial team members, and implemented additional review and control procedures over the financial close and financial reporting processes of the Company. During 2022, the Company continues to improve its internal controls over the preparation and review of financial statement disclosures.

Remediated as of December 31, 2021

| ● | There were insufficiently documented Company accounting policies and insufficiently detailed Company procedures to put policies into effective action:

During 2021, management updated the Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual.

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to cut-off procedures were not sufficient to ensure proper accounting for in-transit items:

During 2021, the Company implemented a newly designed month-end accrual for in-transit inventory.

| ● | The design and implementation of internal controls related to the establishment, and monitoring and review, of loss contract and excess and obsolete reserves were not sufficient to ensure proper accounting for the associated reserves:

During 2021, the Company implemented new accounting procedures to ensure reserves are established and maintained for anticipated contract losses, reductions in the market values of inventory below cost, and excess or obsolete inventory.

| ● | The information technology general controls associated with proper change management were not sufficient to ensure the accuracy and adequacy of the resulting changes:

During 2021, the Company implemented a policy over IT Change Management.

Conclusion

As described above, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2021.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our management that our controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

44

The Company was a non-accelerated filer for 2021. As such, the Company was not subject to the requirement to have an auditor attestation report on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 or for the Comprehensive Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation efforts underway as referred to above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than as described above.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of the Company’s directors or executive officers.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a written code of ethics which applies to our directors, officers, and employees, and which is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote ethical conduct, full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports that we file or submit to the SEC and others, compliance with applicable government laws, rules, and regulations, prompt internal reporting of violations of the code, and accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics may be found on our website at www.cpiaero.com/board.

Changes to Shareholder Director Nomination Procedures

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend director nominees to our Board.

Independence of Directors/Audit Committee Financial Expert

We follow the rules of the NYSE American exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The NYSE American exchange listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer or employee of the Company, who does not have a relationship with the Company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Our board of directors consults with our legal counsel to ensure that our board of directors’ determinations are consistent with NYSE American exchange rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. Consistent with these considerations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined on December 29, 2021 that Carey Bond, Richard Caswell, Michael Faber, Walter Paulick, Eric Rosenfeld, and Terry Stinson will be independent directors of the Company for the ensuing year. The remaining director, Dorith Hakim, is not independent because she is currently employed by us. All members of our Audit and Finance, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Caswell and Faber, members of our Audit and Finance Committee, meet the criteria of an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” under applicable SEC rules.

Leadership Structure

Our board of directors has determined to keep separate the positions of board chairman and principal executive officer at this time. This permits our principal executive officer to concentrate his efforts primarily on managing the Company’s business operations and development. This also allows us to maintain an independent chairman of the board who oversees, among other things, communications and relations between our board of directors and senior management, consideration by our board of directors of the Company’s strategies and policies, and the evaluation of our principal executive officers by our board of directors.

Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Objectives

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified executive officers in the competitive aerospace and defense industry. Additionally, a substantial portion of total compensation of our Named Executive Officers is variable and delivers rewards based on Company and individual performance. Company performance is measured against metrics established by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee each year. Such metrics typically focus on the achievement of financial targets such as revenue and free cash flow, to align our executives’ pay with the Company’s financial results and the creation of shareholder value. Individual performance is measured against each individual’s contributions to the Company’s overall success. As in prior years, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee continued to engage the services of Talent & Rewards LLC, an independent compensation consulting firm in 2021 to provide advice and guidance in evaluating and adjusting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

There are three major components to our compensation program for our Named Executive Officers:

| ● | Base Salary - fixed compensation, designed to recognize responsibilities, experience, and performance.

| ● | Short-Term Cash Incentives - annual cash incentive, as a percentage of base salary, paid upon the achievement of Company performance goals set by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. This variable at-risk compensation motivates and rewards executives with respect to short-term performance.

| ● | Long-Term Equity Incentives - annual grants of restricted stock, 50% of which is subject to time-based vesting, and 50% of which vests upon the achievement of Company financial performative-metric thresholds set by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee. This variable at-risk compensation aligns executive interests with long-term shareholder value creation.

Compensation Arrangements for Named Executive Officers

Douglas McCrosson

During 2020, Mr. McCrosson’s base salary was $365,761. He was entitled to receive a non-discretionary performance based cash bonus equal to 60% of his base salary upon the attainment of Company growth targets measured by the Company’s ending cash balance at December 31, 2020, amount of accounts payable delinquency at December 31, 2020, book to bill ratio, and full-year earnings per share. Mr. McCrosson and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee agreed that Mr. McCrosson would forego $224,457 of short-term incentive cash bonus that Mr. McCrosson earned for 2020 in consideration of the recent decline in the Company’s stock price and the challenges the Company was facing due to, among other things, economic conditions and uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, during 2020, Mr. McCrosson was awarded an aggregate of 42,009 shares of restricted stock (with a fair market value on the date of grant of $138,633) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 long-term incentive plan. The shares of restricted stock vest on a four year schedule, as follows: 50% of the shares are subject to time-based vesting, and vest in four equal annual installments on the day after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K each year; the remaining 50% of the shares are subject to performance based vesting, and vest upon the achievement of all Company financial performative-metric thresholds for each fiscal year as identified by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The fiscal 2020 metrics were growth targets measured by accounts payable delinquency, the ratio of bank debt to cash, and 2020 net profit. The 2020 performance-based vesting metrics were not all met and, therefore, Mr. McCrosson forfeited an aggregate of 89,056 shares of restricted stock, representing the performance-based portion of the restricted stock granted in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

During 2021, Mr. McCrosson’s base salary was $374,905. On March 8, 2022, Mr. McCrosson’s employment was terminated by the Company other than for cause, as defined in a Severance and Change in Control Agreement he entered into with us in 2016. Under the terms of his Severance and Change in Control Agreement, Mr. McCrosson is being paid continued salary for 18 months following the termination of his employment and all of his unvested equity awards were forfeited. No cash bonuses or other amounts were paid or are payable to Mr. McCrosson in connection with the termination of his employment. Pursuant to the Severance and Change in Control Agreement, Mr. McCrosson is prohibited from disclosing confidential information and he has agreed not to compete with us without our consent for 18 months following the termination of his employment, so long as we make severance pursuant to the agreement.

Andrew Davis

Mr. Davis joined the Company in May 2021. During 2021, Mr. Davis’ base salary was $300,000 and he was entitled to receive a non-discretionary performance based cash bonus equal to 40% of his base salary upon the attainment of Company growth targets determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, during 2021 Mr. Davis was awarded an aggregate of 28,916 shares of restricted stock (with a fair market value on the date of grant of $120,001) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 long-term incentive plan. The shares of restricted stock vest on a four year schedule, as follows: 50% of the shares are subject to time-based vesting, and vest in four equal annual installments on the day after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K each year; the remaining 50% of the shares are subject to performance based vesting, and vest upon the achievement of all Company financial performative-metric thresholds for each fiscal year as identified by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The fiscal 2021 metrics were targets measured by accounts payable delinquency, amount of bank debt minus cash and 2021 net profit.

In 2021, Mr. Davis entered into a Severance and Change in Control Agreement with us, the details of which are outlined below under the heading “Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” Pursuant to the Severance and Change in Control Agreement, Mr. Davis is prohibited from disclosing confidential information and he has agreed not to compete with us without our consent during the term of employment and for 12 months thereafter, so long as we make severance payments pursuant to the agreement.

Kenneth Hauser

During 2020, Mr. Hauser’s base salary was $230,000 and he was entitled to receive a non-discretionary performance based cash bonus equal to 35% of his base salary upon the attainment of Company growth targets determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, during 2020, Mr. Hauser was awarded an aggregate of 12,222 shares of restricted stock (with a fair market value on the date of grant of $40,333) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 long-term incentive plan. The shares of restricted stock vest on a four year schedule, as follows: 50% of the shares are subject to time-based vesting, and vest in four equal annual installments on the day after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K each year; the remaining 50% of the shares are subject to performance based vesting, and vest upon the achievement of all Company financial performative-metric thresholds for each fiscal year as identified by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee no later than 90 days following January 1 of the applicable fiscal year. The fiscal 2020 metrics were growth targets measured by accounts payable delinquency, the ratio of bank debt to cash, and 2020 net profit. The 2020 performance-based vesting metrics were not all met and, therefore, Mr. Hauser forfeited an aggregate of 14,195 shares of restricted stock, representing the performance-based portion of the restricted stock granted in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

During 2021, Mr. Hauser’s base salary was $230,000 and he was entitled to receive a non-discretionary performance based cash bonus equal to 35% of his base salary upon the attainment of Company growth targets determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, during 2021, Mr. Hauser was awarded an aggregate of 18,986 shares of restricted stock (with a fair market value on the date of grant of $80,501) pursuant to the Company’s 2016 long-term incentive plan. The shares of restricted stock vest on a four year schedule, as follows: 50% of the shares are subject to time-based vesting, and vest in four equal annual installments on the day after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K each year; the remaining 50% of the shares are subject to performance based vesting, and vest upon the achievement of all Company financial performative-metric thresholds for each fiscal year as identified by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The fiscal 2021 metrics were growth targets measured by accounts payable delinquency, amount of bank debt minus cash, and 2021 net profit. The 2021 performance-based vesting metrics were not all met and, therefore, Mr. Hauser forfeited an aggregate of 19,982 shares of restricted stock, representing the performance-based portion of the restricted stock granted in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

In 2016, Mr. Hauser entered into a Severance and Change in Control Agreement with us, the details of which are outlined below under the heading “Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” Pursuant to the Severance and Change in Control Agreement, Mr. Hauser is prohibited from disclosing confidential information and he has agreed not to compete with us without our consent during the term of employment and for 12 months thereafter, so long as we make severance payments pursuant to the agreement.

Pension Benefits

Other than our 401(k) plan, we do not maintain any other plan that provides for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

On March 8, 2022, Mr. McCrosson’s employment was terminated by the Company other than for cause, as defined in his Severance and Change in Control Agreement. Under the terms of his Severance and Change in Control Agreement, Mr. McCrosson is being paid continued salary for 18 months following the termination of his employment. No cash bonuses or other amounts were paid or are payable to Mr. McCrosson in connection with the termination of his employment.

The Severance and Change in Control agreements with Mr. Davis and Mr. Hauser provide for varying types and amounts of payments and additional benefits upon termination of employment, depending on the circumstances of the termination as follows:

| ● | Termination without cause. If employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, as defined in the Severance and Change in Control Agreements, then he is entitled to (x) continued salary for 12 months, (y) any earned cash bonus not yet paid for the fiscal year most recently ended prior to the date of termination, and (z) a prorated cash bonus calculated using the cash bonus amount earned for the year most recently ended prior to the date of termination. A non-competition provision will apply for as long as severance payments are being paid. Any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited and any unexercised options will expire.

| ● | Termination for cause, or if the executive quits. If Mr. Davis or Mr. Hauser voluntarily terminates his employment, or if the Company terminates his employment for cause, he is not entitled to any severance payments and is not bound by a non-compete clause, however he is still bound by any confidentially and non-disparagement duties. Any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited and any unexercised options will expire.

53

| ● | Termination for disability. If Mr. Davis or Mr. Hauser is terminated because of a disability, as defined in the Severance and Change in Control agreements, then he will receive severance as if he had been terminated without cause.

| ● | Termination following a change in control. If the employment of Mr. Davis or Mr. Hauser is terminated within 18 months following a change in control by the Company other than for cause or disability or by him for good reason (all such terms as defined in the Severance and Change in Control Agreements), he is entitled to (i) his base salary earned through the date of termination, (ii) any earned cash bonus not yet paid for the fiscal year most recently ended prior to the date of termination, and (iii) a prorated portion of his annual cash bonus for the portion of the year he worked, assuming all applicable targets had been met. In addition, he will be entitled to a change in control payment in an amount equal to one and one-half times his base salary for the fiscal year most recently ended prior to the date of termination. Upon any change in control, all of his outstanding stock options and restricted stock will vest immediately. Health insurance and other fringe benefits will continue for a period of six months after termination.

The following table summarizes the amounts payable upon termination of employment for Mr. Davis and Mr. Hauser, assuming termination occurred on December 31, 2021 under the Severance and Change in Control Agreements. For purposes of presenting amounts payable over a period of time (e.g., salary continuation), the amounts are shown as a single total but not as a present value (the single sum does not reflect any discount). To the extent the termination accelerates vesting of equity awards, the value presented below is based upon the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2021, and assumes the achievement of all applicable performance benefits.

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive separate compensation for their service as a director. Our non-executive directors receive a mix of cash compensation and stock compensation for their service to our Company. Each year, our Compensation and Human Resources Committee determines the total amount of non-executive director compensation, as well as the allocation among cash and stock compensation, and takes into consideration, among other things, the Company’s performance relative to its guidance, the extent to which director compensation aligns the interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders, compensation awarded to directors of similarly sized companies in our industry, and past practices. Our Compensation and Human Resources Committee is also tasked with reviewing the annual compensation paid to non-executive directors and making recommendations to our board of directors for any adjustments deemed necessary as a result of their review. In December 2018, our board of directors determined that the following structure would properly incentivize non-executive directors and adequately recognize the additional work performed by board committee chairs: Chairman of the Board, $200,000; Chair of each of the Audit and Finance Committee and Strategic Planning Committee, $140,000 each; Chair of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, $125,000; Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, $120,000; and all other non-executive directors, $100,000 each. The Chair of the Oversight Committee is paid $96,000 in cash for such role. In August 2020, our board of directors created a new position of Non-Executive Vice Chairperson of the Board and set the compensation for such role at $165,000.

The following table summarizes the compensation of our non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Policy

In order to align the long-term interests of non-employee directors with our shareholders, our board of directors has adopted a stock ownership policy for non-employee directors. The policy provides that within five years of joining the board, non-employee directors are expected to own shares of Company common stock equal to five times the then cash portion of the annual non-employee director’s compensation.

| Item 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related-Party Policy.

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related-party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interest, except under guidelines approved by our board of directors (or our Audit and Finance Committee). SEC rules generally define related-party transactions as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our Audit and Finance Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. Our Audit and Finance Committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related-party transaction, including whether the related-party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related-party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he or she is a related-party, but that director is required to provide our Audit and Finance Committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire annually that elicits information about related-party transactions. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related-party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee, or officer.

Related-Party Transactions.

There were no related-party transactions during the year ended December 31, 2021.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of CPI Aerostructures, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

F-1

Inventory Valuation

As described in Note 1 of the financial statements, inventories are reported at lower of cost or net realizable value using weighted average actual cost. As described in Note 5 of the financial statements, the Company's inventory balance was $4 million as of December 31, 2021.

Given the complexity and subjectivity of valuation of inventories of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (WMI), we identified inventory valuation for WMI as a critical audit matter. Auditing these calculations and estimates required a high degree of auditor judgement and increased audit effort.

Our audit procedures related to the Company's valuation of inventory included the following, among others:

| • | We obtained an understanding of management’s process around the valuation of inventory, including inventory reserves.

| • | Performed substantive test of details on a sample of inventory transactions by tracing inventory items to underlying invoices and payroll support. We also tested the overhead applied by testing the supporting documentation to costs incurred and testing the appropriateness of amounts capitalized.

| • | Reviewed and tested management's inventory reserve estimate by recalculating amounts reserved and comparing to recorded amounts.

Revenue Recognition

As described in Note 2 of the financial statements, revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $103 million. The majority of the Company's revenues are from long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. The Company uses the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for its performance obligations because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts.

Given the complexity and significant estimates and assumptions management makes regarding revenue and costs associated with long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time, we identified revenue recognition over these contracts as a critical audit matter. Auditing these estimates required a high degree of auditor judgement and increased audit effort.

Our audit procedures related to the Company's revenue, costs and profit for these contracts included the following, among others:

| • | We obtained an understanding of management’s process related to the accounting for contract revenue including cost to complete estimates for long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time.

| • | Performed substantive test of details on a sample of contracts with customers to ensure modifications were agreed to by the customer.

| • | We performed substantive analytical procedures relating to revenue using disaggregated data.

| • | We performed journal entry testing related to revenue.

| • | Tested the accuracy and completeness of the costs incurred to date on a sample of contracts.

| • | We performed procedures, including a retrospective and prospective review, over estimated costs to complete on a sample of contracts.

| • | On a sample of contracts, we evaluated whether the revenue recognition over time on contracts was appropriate based on the terms and conditions.

| • | Tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of revenue recognized on a sample basis.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

CPI Aerostructures, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements on April 15, 2021, management determined that these consolidated financial statements contained errors as discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct these errors.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we were required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

| 1. | PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company consists of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI”) and Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary acquired on December 20, 2018 and Compac Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of WMI (collectively the “Company.”)

CPI is a U.S. supplier of aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial and defense markets. We manufacture complex aerostructure assemblies, as well as aerosystems. Additionally, we supply parts for maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) and kitting contracts.

An operating segment, in part, is a component of an enterprise whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Operating segments may be aggregated only to a limited extent. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company has determined that it has a single operating and reportable segment.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the use of estimates by management. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Business Combinations

The Company applied acquisition accounting for the WMI acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Acquisition accounting requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In determining estimated fair values, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts including, but not limited to, expected future cash flows, discount rates, remaining useful lives of long-lived assets, useful lives of identified intangible assets, replacement or reproduction costs of property and equipment and the amounts to be recovered in future periods from acquired net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. Our estimates in this area impact, among other items, the amount of depreciation and amortization, impairment charges in certain instances if the asset becomes impaired, and income tax expense or benefit that we report. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company follows Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the good or service. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over-time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. Under the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue and gross profit are recognized over the contract period as work is performed based on actual costs incurred and an estimate of costs to complete and resulting total estimated costs at completion. In 2020, the Company corrected its application of ASC 606, which resulted in a restatement of its previously issued consolidated financial statements for 2018 and the first three quarters of 2019.

See Note 2, “Revenue Recognition”, for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Government Contracts

The Company’s government contracts are subject to the procurement rules and regulations of the U.S. government. Many of the contract terms are dictated by these rules and regulations. Specifically, cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to charitable contributions, advertising, interest expense, and public relations are unallowable, and therefore not recoverable through sales. During and after the fulfillment of a government contract, the Company may be audited in respect to the direct and allocated indirect costs attributable thereto. These audits may result in adjustments to the Company’s contract cost, and/or revenue.

When contractual terms allow, the Company invoices its customers on a progress basis.

Cash

The Company maintains its cash in four financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $6,195,672 and $6,024,418, respectively, of uninsured balances. The Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly credit worthy.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of reserves. The Company calculates and maintains its accounts receivable reserves based on customer account agings as well as identification of any anticipated collectability issues by account, if applicable. The Company writes off accounts when they are deemed to be uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventories are reported at lower of cost or net realizable value using weighted average actual cost.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided by the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the life of the lease, for leasehold improvements.

Leases

The Company leases a building and equipment. Under ASC 842, at contract inception we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease and whether the lease should be classified as an operating or a finance lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The determination of the length of lease terms is affected by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The existence of significant economic incentive is the primary consideration when assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain of exercising an option in a lease. Both finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date and measured as the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. As the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available for most of the Company’s leases, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The lease ROU asset recognized at commencement is adjusted for any lease payments related to initial direct costs, prepayments, and lease incentives.

For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, lease expense comprises the amortization of the ROU assets recognized on a straight-line basis generally over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the underlying asset and interest on the lease liability. Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement upon which those payments are contingent is probable of occurring and are presented in the same line of the consolidated balance sheet as the rent expense arising from fixed payments. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are combined with the related lease components and accounted for as lease components for all classes of underlying assets.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

At December 31, 2021 the Company has right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $7.8 million and $8.0 million respectively. At December 31, 2020 the Company has right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $4.1 million and $4.4 million respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. As a result of its review, the Company does not believe that any such change has occurred. If such changes in circumstance are present, a loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the undiscounted fair value of cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and amounts expected to be realized upon its eventual disposition.

Short-Term Debt

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. Using this method, the fair value of the Company’s short-term debt was not significantly different than the stated value at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair values of the Company’s current assets and current liabilities approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
|  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |
Debt |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Line of credit and long-term debt |  | $ | 26,155,928 |  |  | $ | 26,155,928 |  |  | $ | 33,445,446 |  |  | $ | 33,445,446 |

We estimated the fair value of debt using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.

Income (loss) per share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock. There were no incremental shares of that were used in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share in 2021 since the restricted stock units were fully vested by December 31 2021. Since the Company was in a loss position in 2020, no incremental shares were used in the calculation of diluted loss per share since these shares would be considered anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of an income tax position only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities.

The Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU-2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 is intended to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment. This is accomplished by removing the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities in order to calculate a reporting unit’s “implied” goodwill. The goodwill impairment test consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

An entity may still perform the optional qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. However, the ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to perform a qualitative assessment for any reporting unit with zero or negative carrying amount. The Company adopted ASU-2017-4 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and there was no impact of the adoption to the Company’s financial statements.

Liquidity

At December 31, 2021, our cash balance was $6,308,866 compared to $6,033,537 at December 31, 2020, an increase of $275,329. Our accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2021 increased to $4,967,714 from $4,962,906 at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, we had working capital of $12,175,606 compared to working capital of $7,674,974 at December 31, 2020.

On May 11, 2021, we entered into a Consent, Waiver and Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Company’s credit facility (the “BankUnited Facility” or the “Credit Agreement”) with BankUnited, N.A. (“BankUnited”) Credit Agreement. 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. Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information.

On October 28, 2021, we entered into Waiver and Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. 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 December 31, 2022, (d) amending the minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant and (e) amending the maximum leverage coverage ratio. Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited waived certain covenant non-compliance and waived temporarily, late delivery of certain financial information. In connection with the Eighth Amendment, a $250,000 amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) was earned by the lenders on December 31, 2021 which the Company elected to pay in kind and accrue and capitalize rather than pay in cash. As at December 31, 2021, the Amendment Fee payable was posted by BankUnited to the Revolving Loan and on February 11, 2022, in agreement with the Company, the Amendment Fee was reclassified by BankUnited to the Term Loan. The Company has recorded this payable to its financial statements accordingly.

On April 12, 2022 the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Ninth Amendment (the “Ninth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Ninth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to September 30, 2023, (b) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments of $250,000 on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through December 31, 2022 and (c) increasing the interest on the Revolving Loan, Term Loan, and the Amendment Fee as follows: through June 30, 2022, Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5%; from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6%; from November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 7%; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, Prime Rate plus 8%. Additionally, under the Ninth Amendment, the Credit Agreement financial covenants were amended. BankUnited also waived or consented to certain covenant non-compliance, waived temporarily or consented to, late delivery of certain financial information and waived permanently late delivery of certain pro-forma budget information.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

On August 19, 2022, we entered into a Consent, Waiver and Tenth Amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Tenth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) increasing the maximum leverage ratio applicable for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to 5.0 to 1.0, (b) waiving and/or consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 up to (i) $566,024.81 of losses incurred and reserves taken under the Borrower’s welded product contracts, and (ii) $367,044.51 of reserves taken with respect to the Borrower’s welded product inventory, and (c) waiving and/or consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 up to $795,997.06 of accrued severance and COBRA costs and employer taxes incurred by the Company during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, under the Tenth Amendment, BankUnited waived or consented to late delivery of certain financial information required by the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires us to maintain the following financial covenants (subject to the exclusions provided for in the previous paragraph): (a) minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 0.95 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, and 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and for the trailing four quarter periods ended thereafter; (b) maximum leverage ratio of no less than 7.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 6.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, and 5.0 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and 4.0 to 1 for the trailing four quarter periods thereafter; (c) minimum net income after taxes as of the end of each fiscal quarter being no less than $1.00 commencing June 30, 2022; and (d) a minimum adjusted EBITDA at the end of each quarter of no less than $1.0 million (waived for the quarter ended March 31, 2022). The additional principal payments, increase in interest and the Amendment Fee provided for in the Eight Amendment and Ninth Amendment are excluded for purposes of calculating compliance with each of the financial covenants.

It is management’s estimation that there will likely not be any individual conditions or combination of events that will occur in the coming year which would cause the Company to be unable to meet its obligations or otherwise continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that such plans will accomplish their intended goals.

Business Combination

In December 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of WMI from Air Industries for a purchase price of $7.9 million, subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment. Of the purchase price, $2 million was placed in escrow at closing and was to be released after the completion of the working capital adjustment and for indemnification contingencies. Air Industries objected to the Company’s calculation of the post-closing working capital adjustment and rejected the determination of BDO, the independent accountant appointed by the parties to resolve the 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 seeking, among other things, a judgment against Air Industries in the amount of approximately $4.1 million. In October 2019, Air Industries and the Company jointly authorized the release to the Company of approximately $619,000 from escrow, which represented the value of certain undisputed items.

The Company and Air Industries entered into a settlement agreement dated as of December 23, 2020, to resolve the post-closing working capital adjustment dispute in exchange for the release to the Company of the $1,381,000 cash remaining in escrow. Such amount was released from escrow to the Company on December 28, 2020. As part of the settlement agreement CPI Aero agreed to give up the right to pursue the additional disputed working capital amount of approximately $2.1 million.

| 2. | REVENUE RECOGNITION

Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from long-term contracts with the U.S. government and commercial contractors. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For the Company, the contract under ASC 606 is typically established upon execution of a purchase order either in accordance with a long-term customer contract or on a standalone basis.

To determine the proper revenue recognition for our contracts, we must evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as one performance obligation or more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or to separate a contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a period. A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account for recognizing revenue. The Company’s performance obligations in its contracts with customers are typically the sale of each individual product contemplated in the contract or a single performance obligation representing a series of products when the contract contains multiple products that are substantially the same. The Company has elected to account for shipping performed after control over a product has transferred to a customer as fulfillment activities. When revenue is recognized in advance of incurring shipping costs, the costs related to the shipping are accrued. Shipping costs are included in costs of sales. The Company provides warranties on many of its products; however, since customers cannot purchase such warranties separately and they do not provide services beyond standard assurances, warranties are not separate performance obligations.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its estimated standalone selling price. When standalone selling prices are not available, the transaction price is allocated using an expected cost plus margin approach as pricing for such contracts is typically negotiated on the basis of cost.

The contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for commercial contractors are based on the specific negotiations with each customer and any taxes imposed by governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. The transaction price is primarily comprised of fixed consideration as the customer typically pays a fixed fee for each product sold. The Company does not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a customer contract for the effects of the time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and transferring the good or service is less than one year.

The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. The Company uses the cost-to-cost input method to measure progress for its performance obligations because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts.

The Company generally utilizes the portfolio approach to estimate the amount of revenue to recognize for its contracts and groups contracts together that have similar characteristics. Contract gross profit margins are calculated using the estimated costs for either the individual contract or the portfolio as applicable. Significant judgment is used to determine which contracts are grouped together to form a portfolio. The portfolio approach is utilized only when the result of the accounting is not expected to be materially different than if applied to individual contracts.

The Company’s contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, are recognized prospectively when the remaining goods or services are distinct and on a cumulative catch-up basis when the remaining goods or services are not distinct.

The Company also has contracts that are considered point in time. Under the point in time revenue recognition model, revenue is recognized when control of the components has transferred to the customer.

F-13

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Contract Estimates

Certain contracts contain forms of variable consideration, such as price discounts and performance penalties. The Company generally estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount based on an assessment of all available information (i.e., historical experience, current and forecasted performance) and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved.

In applying the cost-to-cost input method, the Company compares the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs expected at completion to determine its progress towards satisfying its performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. For any costs incurred that do not depict the Company’s performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer, the Company excludes such costs from its input method measure of progress as the amounts are not reflected in the price of the contract. Costs that are inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed quarterly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in revenue in the period the change becomes known. ASC 606 involves considerable use of estimates and judgment in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. For instance, management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation, execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from the customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. The Company continually evaluates all of the factors related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the cost-to-cost input method; however, it cannot be assured that estimates will be accurate. If estimates are not accurate, or a contract is terminated which will affect estimates at completion, the Company is required to adjust revenue in the period the change is determined.

When changes are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the current period. A significant change in one or more estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. If estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total consideration the Company expects to receive, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

Capitalized Contract Acquisition Costs and Fulfillment Costs

Contract acquisition costs are those incremental costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Company does not typically incur contract acquisition costs or contract fulfillment costs that are subject to capitalization in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers.”

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $134.7 million. This represents the amount of revenue the Company expects to recognize in the future on contracts with unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2021. The Company estimates that it will recognize approximately 52% of this amount in fiscal year 2022, approximately 42% in fiscal year 2023 and the remainder in fiscal year 2024.

| 3. | CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contract assets represent revenue recognized on contracts in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the Company’s right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Under the typical payment terms of our government contracts, the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, as a measure of protection for the customer. Our government contracts therefore typically result in revenue recognized in excess of billings, which we present as contract assets. Contract assets are classified as current. The Company’s contract liabilities represent customer payments received or due from the customer in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are classified as current.

As at December 31, 2021, the Amendment Fee payable was posted by BankUnited to the Revolving Loan and on February 11, 2022, in agreement with the Company, the Amendment Fee was reclassified by BankUnited to the Term Loan.

| 11. | INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences or events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. The 2014 tax return was under audit by the IRS and the Company has received notification that the returns will be accepted as filed. The Company generally is no longer subject to U.S. or state examinations by tax authorities for taxable years prior to 2017. However, net operating losses utilized from prior years in subsequent years’ tax returns are subject to examination until three years after the filing of subsequent years’ tax returns. The statute of limitations expiration in foreign jurisdictions for corporate tax returns generally ranges between two and five years depending on the jurisdiction.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:

Year ended December 31, |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Current: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

As of December 31, 2021 the Company had approximately $88.6 million of gross net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for federal tax purposes and approximately $37.8 million of post apportionment NOLs for state tax purposes. The federal NOLs begin to expire in 2034, losses generated in 2018 and forward have an indefinite life. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2034.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020, federal NOLs arising before January 1, 2018, and NOLs arising after January 1, 2018, are subject to different rules. Our pre-2018 NOLs totaled approximately $78.9 million; these NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2034 through 2039, if not utilized, and can offset 100% of future taxable income for regular tax purposes. Our NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 can generally be carried back five years, carried forward indefinitely and can offset 100% of taxable income for tax years before January 1, 2021 and up to 80% of taxable income for tax years after December 31, 2020. Any NOLs arising on or after January 1, 2021, cannot be carried back, can generally be carried forward indefinitely and can offset up to 80% of future taxable income. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2034.

Our ability to fully recognize the benefits from our NOLs is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient income prior to their expiration. In addition, our NOL carryforwards may be limited if we experience an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”). In general, an ownership change under Section 382 occurs if 5% shareholders increase their collective ownership of the aggregate amount of our outstanding shares by more than 50 percentage points over a relevant lookback period. The Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021; however, The Company believes that no ownership change occurred during the relevant lookback period that would limit our ability to use our NOLs. The sale of additional equity securities in the future may trigger an ownership change under IRC Section 382, which could significantly limit our ability to utilize our tax benefits. The Company will recognize a tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50%) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

The provision for income tax for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $14,609, an effective tax rate of 0.21%. The tax provision was mostly the result of state franchise and minimum taxes.

CPI Aerostructures, Inc., et al., No. 20-cv-01026) has been filed against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the two underwriters of the Company’s October 16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint in the action asserts claims on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC, by making false and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, including interest; rescission or a rescissory measure of damages; unspecified equitable or injunctive relief; and costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On February 19, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff submitted a brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 23, 2021.

On May 20, 2021, the parties reached a settlement in the amount of $3,600,000, subject to court approval. On July 9, 2021, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 10, 2021, a magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the motion for preliminary approval in its entirety. The Court adopted the recommendation on May 27, 2022, and entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on June 7, 2022. The magistrate judge will hold a hearing on September 9, 2022 to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. After satisfaction of our $750,000 retention, the Settlement Amount will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2021, we have previously paid or accrued to our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and have therefore met our directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which caps the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.

As of December 31, 2021, in order to reflect the amounts owed from our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier and to the Plaintiffs, we have recorded to our balance sheet a litigation settlement obligation of $3,003,259 and an insurance recovery receivable of $2,850,000; this obligation and receivable will be relieved from our balance sheet upon the payment of the Settlement Amount to the Plaintiff by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier.

Shareholder Derivative Action

Four shareholder derivative actions, each based on substantially the same facts as those alleged in the class action discussed above, have been filed against current members of our board of directors and certain of our current and former officers.

The first action (captioned Moulton v. McCrosson, et.al., No. 20-cv-02092) was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. It purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, 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, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On January 27, 2021, the Court stayed the action pursuant to a joint stipulation filed by the parties.

The second action (captioned Woodyard v. McCrosson, et al., Index No. 613169/2020) was filed on September 17, 2020, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Suffolk County). It purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, 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, along with declaratory, equitable, injunctive and monetary relief, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs. On December 22, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation staying the action pending further developments in the class action.

The third action (captioned Berger v. McCrosson, et al., No. 1:20-cv-05454) was filed on November 10, 2020, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint, which is based on the shareholder’s inspection of certain corporate books and records, purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and seeks to implement reforms to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures and to recover on behalf of the Company an unspecified amount of monetary damages. The complaint also seeks equitable, injunctive, and monetary relief, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs.

On March 19, 2021, the parties to the Moulton and Berger actions filed a joint stipulation consolidating the actions (under the caption In re CPI Aerostructures Stockholder Derivative Litigation, No. 20-cv-02092) and staying the consolidated action pending further developments in the class action.

The fourth action (captioned Wurst v. Bazaar, et al., Index No. 605244/2021) was filed on March 24, 2021, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Suffolk County). The complaint purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets, 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, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs.

On June 13, 2022, the plaintiffs in the consolidated federal action informed the Court that the Company and all defendants had reached an agreement in principle with all plaintiffs to settle the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. On June 16, 2022, the plaintiffs in the consolidated federal action filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On July 22, 2022, the Court referred the motion to the magistrate judge; the motion remains pending. The settlement is subject to Court approval and, if approved, will result in the dismissal of the shareholder derivative lawsuits. As part of the proposed settlement, the Company has agreed to undertake (or confirm that it has undertaken already) certain corporate governance reforms and to pay attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ counsel. The attorneys’ fees will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier, after satisfaction of our $750,000 retention.

SEC Investigation

On May 22, 2020, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC Division of Enforcement (the “Division”) seeking documents and information relating, among other things, to previously disclosed errors in and restatement 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. By letter dated March 12, 2021, the Division Staff notified the Company that the Division has concluded its investigation and, based on the information the Division has as of such date, it does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. The Division’s notice was provided under the guidelines described in the final paragraph of Securities Act Release No. 5310 which states in part that the notice “must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the staff’s investigation.”

16. | RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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”), then 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 the 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 and 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.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 Form 10-K 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.

2020 and 2019 Restatement

The following is a discussion of the restatement adjustments that were made to the Company’s previously issued December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements due to the Inventory Costing Errors, Loss Contract Reserve and Additional Inventory Reserves.

(a) Inventory Costing Errors

The Company determined that the Inventory Costing Errors resulted in incorrectly reported inventory values and reported income for the annual periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The Inventory Costing Errors were comprised of the following:

1) Labor costs for work in process were overstated in the detailed inventory records due to an automated reversing entry not processing correctly;

2) A customized IT program to calculate weighted average cost was not tested thoroughly enough, which allowed errors in average cost calculations to occur in certain situations;

3) Units of Measure were not consistent between quantities ordered and quantities received for certain classes of purchased parts, which resulted in overstatements of inventory values due to units of measure not being consistent with unit prices on purchase orders to suppliers;

4) The cost of goods received which had not yet processed through the Company’s quality inspection process at the time of the period-end accounting closes were not properly accrued to the period financial statements;

5) The Company did not have a process to address over-absorbed or under-absorbed overhead costs at the end of each accounting period.

(b) Loss Contract Reserve

After correcting its financial statements for the Inventory Costing Errors, the Company determined that is was a party to some contracts to deliver product upon which the Company would lose money, and thus the Company’s Loss Contract Reserve was increased accordingly for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

(c) Additional Inventory Reserves

After correcting its financial statements for the Inventory Costing Errors, the Company determined that its inventory required additional reserves to reflect current market value and demand, and thus the Company’s Inventory Reserves were increased accordingly for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NYSE American Listing Standards Non-Compliance and Delisting Determination |

On May 19, 2022, the NYSE American exchange (the “Exchange”) announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. As a result of the suspension, our common stock began trading on May 20, 2022 under the symbol “CVUA” on the OTC Pink Limited Information market tier, which is operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation (the “Committee”). A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for September 7, 2022 (the “Hearing”). The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review although trading of our common stock on the Exchange remains suspended.

We will become current with our SEC reports upon the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (the “2022 Q1 Form 10- Q”) and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Q2 Form 10-Q”). The Company believes that becoming current with our SEC reports will resolve the condition that led to NYSE American suspending trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and its determination to commence proceedings to delist the common stock from the Exchange. The 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as practicable. We cannot assure you that if the Company becomes current with our SEC reports before the Hearing or the outcome of the Hearing will result in the Exchange changing its delisting determination or that our common stock will resume trading on the Exchange in the future.

On September 17, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange 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 is therefore subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to the Exchange 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 the Exchange that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company’s common stock is not delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s delayed filings as described above and (i) the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or (ii) the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

Trading of Common Stock on Expert Market

The Company is not current in its SEC reporting obligations with respect to its 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q. Companies that are not current in their SEC reporting obligations in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c-11 (“Rule 15c2-11”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, do not have current information publicly available and do not meet the requirements for ongoing quoting of their securities on one of the public markets (the “OTC Markets”) operated by the OTC Markets Group. Effective July 15, 2022, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s “Expert Market.”

The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors. Accordingly, investors are not assured of the opportunity to purchase or sell their shares when they desire to do so or at all.

See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors - “There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock and investors are not assured of the opportunity to make transactions in our common stock.”Cost reduction initiative

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company began a cost reduction initiative designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs during fiscal year 2022. Management is reallocating resources and reducing operating and general administrative expenses to more properly align the Company’s costs to anticipated near-term revenue given the timing differences between the conclusion of certain mature programs and the commencement of new programs in 2022. The Company executed a headcount reduction and furlough action in March 2022 and is implementing cost controls and cuts during the balance of fiscal year 2022. The Company anticipates recording severance costs related to the headcount reduction in its first fiscal quarter of 2022 and the cost reductions of these actions are anticipated to positively impact the financial results of the Company beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.
