NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company consists of CPI
Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero”), Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CPI
Aero, and Compac Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of WMI (collectively, the “Company”).
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 consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and notes normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the information
and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.
All adjustments that, in the
opinion of the management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected. Such adjustments
are of a normal, recurring nature. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
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 insurance limits. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 2,417,087 of uninsured balances. The
Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.
The Company currently has a shareholders’
deficit and has experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations in prior periods that collectively
represent significant risk to the Company to continue to operate as a going concern. To address this risk, the Company has (i)
negotiated and executed a further amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein and BankUnited
N.A. as Sole Arranger, Agent and Collateral Agent (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” or the “BankUnited
Facility”), effective April 12, 2022 which extended the maturity date of the credit facility to September 30, 2023, (ii)
obtained and is seeking additional progress payment and advance payment customer contract funding provisions, (iii) maintained
procedures to reduce investments in inventory and contract assets, (iv) remained focused on its military segment which has proven
to be less susceptible to COVID-19 related impacts and (v) maintained a strong (approximately $ 133 million) backlog of funded
orders, 99 % of which are for military programs. Based upon management’s assessment of the identified significant risks and
the execution of the plans described above, management believes that substantial risk does not exist as to whether the Company’s
liquidity and debt resources will be sufficient to meet its obligations as a going concern through a year and a day from the date
of this filing.

The outbreak
of the COVID-19 coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during our first quarter of 2020. During
the latter part of that quarter and subsequent to that quarter end, the COVID-19 pandemic grew, causing non-essential businesses
to shut down and many people to observe the shelter-in-place directive from our state government. Our business and operations
and the industries in which we operate have been impacted by public and private sector policies and initiatives in the U.S. to
address the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions and the adoption of remote work. The COVID-19
pandemic has contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy, has adversely impacted the businesses of certain of our
customers and suppliers, and, if it continues for an extended period of time, it could adversely impact our results of operations
and financial condition. In response to the COVID-19 impact on our business, we have been and continue to actively mitigate costs.
We have also been taking actions to preserve capital and protect the long-term needs of our businesses, including negotiating
progress payments with our customers and reducing discretionary spending. For more information on the current and potential impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
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.
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; in most cases this will be based on shipping terms.
Contracts with Customers and Performance
Obligations
The majority of the Company’s revenues
are from long-term contracts with the U.S. government, military 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 Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 606 (“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
and military contractors are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 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
contracts is 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.
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; in most cases this will be based on shipping terms.
8
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
Our backlog represents the estimated transaction
prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue in
future periods as work is performed. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining
performance obligations was approximately $ 133 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 June 30, 2022. The Company estimates
that it will recognize approximately 30 % of this amount in fiscal year 2022 and the remainder by 2024.

CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Contract assets represent revenue recognized
on contracts in excess of amounts invoiced to the customers and the where the Company’s right to consideration is conditional
on something other than the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. 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.

unvested RSUs. Incremental shares of 95,058 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months
ended June 30, 2022. Incremental shares of 142,587 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the
three months ended March 31, 2022, as the Company was in a loss position and these shares would be considered anti-dilutive for
that period. Incremental shares of 67,753 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021.

8. DEBT
Credit Facility
On March 24, 2016, the Company entered
into the Credit Agreement. The BankUnited Facility originally provided for a revolving credit loan commitment of $ 30 million
(the “Revolving Loan”) and a $ 10 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The Revolving Loan bears interest
at a rate based upon a pricing grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into
the Seventh Amendment (defined below). Under the Seventh Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending
the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to July 31, 2022 , and (b) amending the leverage ratio covenant.
Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information.
On October 28, 2021, the Company entered
into the Eighth Amendment (defined below). 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, (e) amending the maximum leverage ratio covenant. Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited

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 the Ninth Amendment (defined below). Under the Ninth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending
the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to September 30, 2023 , (b) providing for the repayment of an additional
$ 750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments of $ 250,000 on September 30, 2022,

Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5 %; from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5 %;
from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6 %; from November 1, 2022 through December 31,
2022, Prime Rate plus 7 %; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, Prime Rate plus 8 %. Additionally, under
the Ninth Amendment, the Credit Agreement financial covenants were amended. BankUnited also waived or consented to certain covenant
non-compliance, waived temporarily or consented to, late delivery of certain financial information and waived permanently late
delivery of certain pro-forma budget information.
On August 19,
2022, we entered into the Tenth Amendment (defined below). Under the Tenth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement
by (a) increasing the maximum leverage ratio applicable for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to 5.0 , (b) waiving and/or
consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended December 31,

severance and COBRA costs and employer taxes incurred by the Company during the fiscal quarter ending 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 1.0 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

The BankUnited Facility is secured by
all of the Company’s assets and both the Revolving Loan and Term Loan bear interest at the rate of 7.25 % (the Prime Rate
+ 2.50 %) as of June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 21,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Loan as compared to $ 21,250,000 as of December 31, 2021.
The Term Loan, as amended by the Tenth
Amendment, had an aggregate principal amount of $ 3,283,333 , payable in monthly installments, as defined in the agreement, as of
June 30, 2022 as compared to an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2021 of $ 4,483,333 .
PPP Loan
On April 10, 2020, we entered into the
Paycheck Protection Program loan (“PPP Loan”), with BNB Bank (now part of Dime Community Bank (“Dime”))
as the lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $ 4,795,000 , pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act.
The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”). Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bore
interest at a fixed rate of one percent ( 1 %) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, had an initial term of
two years , and was unsecured and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Note provided for customary
events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with the lender. The PPP Loan could have been
accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
11
On November 2, 2020, the Company applied
to the lender for full forgiveness of the PPP Loan as calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as modified by
the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. All amounts have been classified as current or long term in accordance with the Note
terms.
On July 13, 2021, the Company received
notification through Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon had been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness
payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized as other income during the Company’s third
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.

10.
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 (right-of-use) 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.
For the three and six months ended June
30, 2022, the Company’s operating lease expense was $ 516,920 and $ 1,051,911 , respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable

11. 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’s policy is to record estimated interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The provision for income tax for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $ 6,225 and $ 2,078 , respectively. The provision for income tax for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $ 7,500 and $ 4,328 , respectively.
The difference between the Company’s
statutory tax rate and its effective rate is due to the valuation allowance taken on the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Class Action Lawsuit
As previously
disclosed, a consolidated class action lawsuit (captioned Rodriguez v. CPI Aerostructures, Inc., et al. , No. 20-cv-00982) has
been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Douglas McCrosson; the Company’s
former Chief Executive Officer; Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer; and the two underwriters
of the Company’s October 16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint
in the action asserts claims on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued
pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the
Company’s common stock between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated
Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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. On August 5, 2022, the Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for final approval.
The magistrate judge held a hearing on the final approval motion on September 9, 2022, and is now deciding whether to recommend
final approval of the settlement. As of June 30, 2022, we have previously paid or accrued to our financial statements covered
expenses totaling $ 750,000 , and have therefore met our insurance carrier’s directors’ and officers’ retention
requirement, which caps the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.
At June 30, 2022, 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 $ 3,600,000 and an insurance recovery receivable of $ 3,500,693 to reflect the
liability owed by the Company to the Plaintiffs as well as the amount receivable owing from the Company’s insurance carrier
to the Company with respect to the settlement obligation.
Shareholder Derivative Action
Four shareholder derivative actions, each
based on substantially the same facts as those alleged in the class action discussed above, have been filed against certain of
our current and former directors and 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 in part 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.
13
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 (as nominal defendant) and all individual defendants had reached
an agreement in principle with all plaintiffs to settle the four 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 magistrate judge held
a conference on September 9, 2022 in the consolidated federal action. 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’

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read
in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.
Forward Looking Statements
When used in this Form 10-Q and in future
filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the words or phrases “will likely result,”
“management expects” or “we expect,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated”
or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each
of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The risks are included in
Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”).
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or
circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Business Operations
We are engaged in the contract production
of structural aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the defense and commercial markets. We also have
a strong and growing presence in the aerosystems segment of the market, with our production of various reconnaissance pod structures
and fuel panel systems. Within the global aerostructure and aerosystem supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft
Original Equipment Manufacturers or a Tier 2 subcontractor to major Tier 1 manufacturers. We also are a prime contractor to the
U.S. Department of Defense, primarily the U.S. Air Force. In conjunction with our assembly operations, we provide engineering,
program management, supply chain management and kitting, and maintenance repair and overhaul services.
Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak
of the COVID-19 coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during our first quarter of 2020. During
the latter part of that quarter and subsequent to that quarter end, the COVID-19 pandemic grew, causing non-essential businesses
to shut down and many people to observe the shelter-in-place directive from our state government. Our business and operations
and the industries in which we operate have been impacted by public and private sector policies and initiatives in the U.S. to
address the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions and the adoption of remote work. The COVID-19
pandemic has contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy, has adversely impacted the businesses of certain of our
customers and suppliers, and, if it continues for an extended period of time, it could adversely impact our results of operations
and financial condition. In response to the COVID-19 impact on our business, we have been and continue to actively mitigate costs.
We have also been taking actions to preserve capital and protect the long-term needs of our businesses, including negotiating
progress payments with our customers and reducing discretionary spending. For more information on the current and potential impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K.
Recent Developments
NYSE American Delinquency Notices
On May 19, 2022, the NYSE American exchange
(the “Exchange”) announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the SEC annual
and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company
Guide”) and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. The Company filed a request for review
of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation
(the “Committee”). A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled
for November 9, 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 have become current with our SEC reports
upon the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company believes the filing of this quarterly report resolves 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. We cannot assure you that the Company becoming current with our SEC
reports 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.
14
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
Prior to the filing of this Quaterly Report
on Form 10-Q, the Company was not current in its SEC reporting obligations. 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 only 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.
The Company believes that now that it
is current in its SEC reporting obligations its common stock is eligible to be quoted on one of the OTC Markets through the filing
of a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (or reliance on OTC Market Group’s current information designations
in lieu thereof). There can be no assurance that the Company’s common stock will be quoted on an OTC Market or any other
market or exchange or when that may occur in the future.
For more information regarding trading
of the Company’s common stock on the Expert Market, See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
Amendment and Waiver to our BankUnited
Credit Facility
On April 12,
2022 the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment (defined below) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Ninth Amendment, the parties
amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to September 30, 2023,
(b) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments
of $250,000 on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly
principal payments through December 31, 2022 and (c) increasing the interest on the Revolving Loan, Term Loan, and the Amendment
Fee as follows: through June 30, 2022, Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; from July 1, 2022 through
August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5%; from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6%;
from November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 7%; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023,
Prime Rate plus 8%. Additionally, under the Ninth Amendment, the Credit Agreement financial covenants were amended. BankUnited
also waived or consented to certain covenant non-compliance, waived temporarily or consented to, late delivery of certain financial
information and waived permanently late delivery of certain pro-forma budget information.
On August 19,
2022, we entered into the Tenth Amendment (defined below). Under the Tenth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement
by (a) increasing the maximum leverage ratio applicable for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to 5.0, (b) waiving and/or
consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended December 31,
2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 up to (i) $566,024.81 of losses incurred and reserves taken under the
Borrower’s welded product contracts, and (ii) $367,044.51 of reserves taken with respect to the Borrower’s welded
product inventory, and (c) waiving and/or consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements
for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 up to $795,997.06 of accrued
severance and COBRA costs and employer taxes incurred by the Company during the fiscal quarter ending 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, 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.
Settlement of Class Action
As previously disclosed, a consolidated
class action lawsuit has been filed against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer,
Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the two underwriters of the Company’s October
16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint in the action asserts claims
on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to and/or traceable to
the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the Company’s common stock between
March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15
of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and
prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges
that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC, by making false
and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. Plaintiff
seeks unspecified compensatory damages, including interest; rescission or a rescissory measure of damages; unspecified equitable
or injunctive relief; and costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expert fees. On February 19, 2021, the Company
moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff submitted a brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 23, 2021.
15
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. On August 5, 2022, the Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for final approval.
The magistrate judge held a hearing on September 9, 2022, and is now deciding 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 June 30, 2022, 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.
At June 30, 2022, 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 $3,600,000 and an insurance recovery receivable of $3,500,693 to reflect the
liability owed by the Company to the Plaintiffs as well as the amount receivable owing from the Company’s insurance carrier
to the Company with respect to the settlement obligation.
Backlog
We produce custom assemblies
pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Funded backlog consists of aggregate funded values under such contracts
and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). Unfunded backlog is the estimated amount of future orders under the expected duration of the
programs. Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds
are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance
that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts.
Our total backlog as of June
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies
We make a number of significant estimates,
assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies.
There have been no significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30,

for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $5,835,049 compared to $6,068,494 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease
of $233,445 or 3.8%. This decrease was primarily driven by lower legal fees, partly offset by higher salaries expense as a result
of a $637,206 severance charge recorded in the first quarter of 2022.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
Income before provision for income taxes
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $523,861 compared to $625,229 for the same period last year, a decrease of $101,368
or 8.2% for the reasons noted above.
Income before provision for income taxes
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $492,205 compared to $1,860,022 for the same period last year, a decrease of $1,367,817
or 110.8% for the reasons noted above.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $6,225 for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, compared to a provision for income taxes of $2,078 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase
of $4,147 or 199.6%.
Provision for income taxes was $7,500 the six months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to a provision for income taxes of $4,328 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $3,172
or 73.3%.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 was $517,636 or $0.04 per basic share, compared to net income of $623,151 or $0.05 per basic share for the same
period last year. Diluted income per share was $0.04 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 calculated utilizing 12,534,058
weighted average shares outstanding versus diluted income per share of $0.05 for the same period last year calculated utilizing
12,255,950 weighted average shares outstanding.
Net income for the six months ended June
30, 2022 was $484,705 or $0.04 per basic share, compared to net income of $1,855,694 or $0.15 per basic share for the same period
last year. Diluted income per share was $0.04 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 calculated utilizing 12,496,339 weighted
average shares outstanding versus diluted income per share of $0.15 for the same period last year calculated utilizing 12,154,052
weighted average shares outstanding.
Excluding the $771,834 severance charge recorded in the first
quarter of 2022 as referred to above under Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, our net income for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,256,539, a decrease over the prior year of $599,155 or 32.3%. Excluding the aforementioned
severance charge, our basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.10 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the
$0.15 income per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At June 30, 2022, we had working capital
of $11,678,839 compared to working capital of $12,175,776 at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $496,937 or 4.1%.
Cash Flow
A large portion of our cash flow is used
to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress
payments. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Contract Assets” on our consolidated
balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not
yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with
contract terms.
Because ASC 606 requires us to use estimates
in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity
between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period.
Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money, or to raise additional
capital, until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.
Several of our programs require us to
expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units. In the case of significant program
delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear impairment charges, which may be material for costs that are
not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity and results of
operations.
We continue to work to obtain better payment
terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternate funding sources.
At June 30, 2022, we had a cash balance
of $2,626,061 compared to $6,308,866 at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $3,682,805, or 58.4%. The decrease was comprised of a
net cash used in operations of $2,096,607 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by an increase of $3,031,844
in contract assets on the ramp up of new programs, partly offset by a $441,144 decrease in inventory, coupled with $1,560,881
in debt paydowns.
Bank Credit Facilities
On March 24,
2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein and BankUnited N.A. as
Sole Arranger, Agent and Collateral Agent (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” or the “BankUnited
Facility”). The Credit Agreement 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 as defined in
the Credit Agreement.
On May 11, 2021,
the Company entered into a Waiver and Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). Under the
Seventh Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the $24 million Revolving Loan
and $6.36 million Term Loan to July 31, 2022, and (b) amending the leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending on and
after March 31, 2021, to 4.0 to 1.0, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four-quarter period then ended
(or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, determined on an annualized basis for the three-quarter period then
ended). Additionally, under the Seventh Amendment, BankUnited waived late delivery of certain financial information.
On October 28, 2021, the Company entered
into a Waiver and Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”). Under the Eighth Amendment, the
parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to December 31,
2022, (b) reducing the aggregate revolving line of credit from $24 million to $21 million while eliminating the requirement to
maintain a minimum $3.0 million in a combination of line of credit availability and unrestricted cash, (c) providing for the repayment
of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the term loan in three installments of $250,000 on November 30, 2021, December
31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through maturity, (d) amending the minimum
debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending on and after June 30, 2021 to provide for a ratio of 1.5 to
1.0, and (e) amending the maximum leverage ratio covenant as follows: for the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2021 - 5.0 to
1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 - 4.75 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 - 4.25 to 1.0
and for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 and thereafter - 4.0 to 1.0, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter for
the trailing four-quarter period then ended (or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, determined on an annualized
basis for the three-quarter period then ended). Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited waived certain covenant non-compliance
and waived temporarily, late delivery of certain financial information. In connection with the Eighth Amendment, a $250,000 amendment
fee (the “Amendment Fee”) was earned by the lenders on December 31, 2021 which the Company elected to pay in kind
and accrue and capitalize rather than pay in cash. As at December 31, 2021, the Amendment Fee payable was posted by BankUnited
to the Revolving Loan and on February 11, 2022, in agreement with the Company, the Amendment Fee was reclassified by BankUnited
to the Term Loan. The Company has recorded this payable to its financial statements accordingly.
On April 12, 2022 the Company entered
into a Consent, Waiver and Ninth Amendment (the “Ninth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Ninth Amendment,
the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to September
30, 2023, (b) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments
of $250,000 on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly
principal payments through December 31, 2022 and (c) increasing the interest on the Revolving Loan, Term Loan, and the Amendment
Fee as follows: through June 30, 2022, Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; from July 1, 2022 through
August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5%; from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6%;
from November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 7%; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023,
Prime Rate plus 8%. Additionally, under the Ninth Amendment, the Credit Agreement financial covenants were amended. BankUnited
also waived or consented to certain covenant non-compliance, waived temporarily or consented to, late delivery of certain financial
information and waived permanently late delivery of certain pro-forma budget information.
On August 19,
2022, we entered into a Consent, Waiver and Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). Under
the Tenth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) increasing the maximum leverage ratio applicable for the
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to 5.0, (b) waiving and/or consenting to the exclusion from the Company’s covenant
compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022
up to (i) $566,024.81 of losses incurred and reserves taken under the Borrower’s welded product contracts, and (ii) $367,044.51
of reserves taken with respect to the Borrower’s welded product inventory, and (c) waiving and/or consenting to the exclusion
from the Company’s covenant compliance requirements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 up to $795,997.06 of accrued severance and COBRA costs and employer taxes incurred by the Company
during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022. Additionally, under the Tenth Amendment, BankUnited waived or consented to late
delivery of certain financial information required by the Credit Agreement.
19
The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires
us to maintain the following financial covenants (subject to the exclusions provided for in the previous paragraph): (a) minimum
debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 0.95 to
1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, and 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended
September 30, 2022 and for the trailing four quarter periods ended thereafter; (b) maximum leverage ratio of no less than 7.30 to
1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 6.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended
June 30, 2022, 5.0 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and 4.0 to 1 for the trailing
four quarter periods thereafter; (c) minimum net income after taxes as of the end of each fiscal quarter being no less than $1.00 commencing
June 30, 2022; and (d) a minimum adjusted EBITDA at the end of each quarter of no less than $1.0 million (waived for
the quarter ended March 31, 2022). The additional principal payments, increase in interest and the Amendment Fee provided for
in the Eight Amendment and Ninth Amendment are excluded for purposes of calculating compliance with each of the financial covenants.
PPP Loan
On April 10,
2020, we entered into the PPP Loan with Dime as the Lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $4,795,000, pursuant to the Paycheck
Protection Program under the CARES Act. The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (“Note”). Subject to the terms
of the Note, the PPP Loan bore interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred,
had an initial term of two years, and was unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. The Note provided for customary events of default
including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender. The PPP Loan could have been accelerated upon
the occurrence of an event of default.
On November 2,
2020, the Company applied to the Lender for full forgiveness of the PPP Loan as calculated in accordance with the terms of the
CARES Act, as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. On July 13, 2021, the Company received notification through
Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon had been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was
July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September
30, 2021.
We believe that
our existing resources will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs for at least the next 12 months from the date
of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. However, our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending
in part on the timing of new program awards and the payment terms with our customers and suppliers. If our working capital needs
exceed our cash flows from operations, we would look to our cash balances and availability for borrowings under our borrowing
arrangement to satisfy those needs, as well as potential sources of additional capital, which may not be available on satisfactory
terms and in adequate amounts, if at all.

Item 4 – 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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.
20
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”). In connection with this evaluation of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management identified deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in
our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. For more information on these deficiencies, see Item 9A. Controls
and Procedures, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
During 2021, the Company did, and during 2022, intends to continue to implement
new controls designed to remediate the aforementioned 2021 material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
