CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

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.

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

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

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.

Non-Employee
Director Stock Ownership Policy

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.

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.

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.

AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.

We

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

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 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.

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.

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.

LINE
OF CREDIT
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

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 the Seventh Amendment. Under the Seventh Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement
by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to July 31, 2022 , and (b) amending the leverage
ratio covenant. Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information.

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 financing lease. Operating leases are included in ROU
assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company leases manufacturing and office space under an agreement classified as an operating lease. The lease agreement, as amended,
expires on April 30, 2026 and does not include any renewal options. The agreement provides for an initial monthly base amount
plus annual escalations through the term of the lease. In addition to the monthly base amounts in the lease agreement, the Company
is required to pay real estate taxes and operating expenses during the lease terms.
The
Company also leases office equipment in agreements classified as operating leases.

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:

AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.

were forfeited because the Company failed to achieve certain performance criteria for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The
Company’s net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 includes approximately $ 282,000 and $ 179,000 ,
respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the RSU grants to the officers and employees. This expense is recorded
as a component of cost of goods sold of approximately $ 51,000 and $ 57,000 , respectively, and as a component of selling, general
and administrative expenses of approximately $ 231,000 and $ 122,000 , respectively.
In
2009, the Company adopted the Performance Equity Plan 2009 (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan reserved 500,000 common

or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Any shares of common stock granted
in connection with awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights are counted against the number of shares reserved
for issuance under the 2016 Plan as one and one-half shares of common stock for every one share of common stock granted in connection
with such award. Any shares of common stock granted in connection with stock options and stock appreciation rights are counted
against the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan as one share for every one share of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of such stock option or stock appreciation right awarded. In the fourth quarter of 2020 the company added 800,000
shares to the plan. The Company has 472,681 shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan as of December 31, 2021.

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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.
