NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

For comparability, certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2010.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for compensation expense associated with stock options based on the fair value of the options on the date of issue.

The Company’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 includes approximately $357,000 and $497,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options. The Company’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 includes approximately $302,000 and $405,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options. The non-cash compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

The estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

	2010	2009
Risk-free interest rate	2.5% and 2.6%, respectively	1.65% and 1.66%, respectively
Expected volatility	97% and 97%, respectively	97.0% and 95.8%, respectively
Dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected option term	5 years	5 years

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of June 30, 2010 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

		Weighted average Exercise Price	Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Fixed Options	Options	Weighted average Exercise Price	Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding
at beginning of period	1,052,333	$6.47
Granted	80,000	7.38
Exercised/forfeited	(215,000)	5.60
Outstanding and expected to vest,
at end of period	917,333	$6.76	3.16	$2,931,279
Vested
at end of period	879,000	$6.75	2.93	$2,770,446

As of June 30, 2010, there was $165,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards which will be amortized through March 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 10,000 stock options were exercised for cash resulting in proceeds to the Company of $79,500. During the same period 125,000 options were exercised in a cashless transaction, pursuant to provisions of the stock option plan. The Company received 33,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 125,000 shares issued in the exercise. The 33,000 shares that the Company received were valued at $288,420, the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and were added to treasury stock.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE

Our use of derivative instruments has been to hedge interest rates. These derivative contracts are entered into with financial institutions. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

We record these derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument for a cash flow hedge is recorded in the results of operations immediately. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations immediately. See below for a discussion of our use of derivative instruments, management of credit risk inherent in derivative instruments and fair value information.

In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with the objective of reducing our exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge. The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item. No material ineffectiveness was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had a net deferred loss associated with cash flow hedges of approximately $85,000 and $80,000, respectively, due to the interest rate swap which has been included in Other Liabilities.

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties may fail to meet their contractual obligations. Recent adverse developments in the global financial and credit markets could negatively impact the creditworthiness of our counterparties and cause one or more of our counterparties to fail to perform as expected. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

Fair Value

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

	June 30, 2010
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Debt
Short-term borrowings and long-term debt	$2,205,076	$2,205,076

	December 31, 2009
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Debt
Short-term borrowings and long-term debt	$4,637,949	$4,637,949

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

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The following table presents the fair values of those financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

		Fair Value Measurements June 30, 2010
Description	Total	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest Rate Swap, net	$ 85,147	--	$ 85,147	--
Total	$ 85,147	--	$ 85,147	--

		Fair Value Measurements December 31, 2009
Description	Total	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest Rate Swap, net	$80,113	--	$80,113	--
Total	$80,113	--	$80,113	--

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was determined by comparing the fixed rate set at the inception of the transaction to the “replacement swap rate,” which represents the market rate for an offsetting interest rate swap with the same notional amounts and final maturity date. The market value is then determined by calculating the present value interest differential between the contractual swap and the replacement swap.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $85,147 and $80,113, respectively, was included in Other Liabilities related to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, and $56,197 and $52,874, respectively, net of tax of $28,950 and $27,239, was included in Other Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

The change in unrealized gain (loss) from the Company’s interest rate swaps of ($2,698) and $19,106 is included in other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in unrealized gain (loss) from the Company’s interest rate swaps of ($3,323) and $23,374 is included in other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comprehensive income was $1,202,556 and $922,595 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Comprehensive income was $2,062,745 and $1,472,784 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	28,574,730	$	14,443,491	$	43,018,221

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which the circumstances requiring the revisions occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the effect of such revisions in total estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to the total gross profit to be earned on the contract of approximately $2,000,000, from that which would have been reported had the revised estimate been used as the basis of recognition of contract profits in prior years.

Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete on uncompleted open contracts, it is at least reasonably possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

5.	INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock. Incremental shares of 817,333 and 607,333 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010. Incremental shares of 100,000 and 310,000 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive. Incremental shares of 254,556 and 193,689 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Incremental shares of 345,000 and 802,333 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009 as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.

6.	LINE OF CREDIT

On July 7, 2009, the Company and Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility, increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $2.5 million to an aggregate of $3.5 million and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2010 to August 2011.

The Credit Agreement was further amended to increase the commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitment commencing September 30, 2009, and to permit the Company’s sale of a certain single customer accounts receivable.

On May 26, 2010, the Company and Sovereign Bank entered into a third amendment to the Sovereign Revolving Facility increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $3.5 million to an aggregate of $4.0 million and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2011 to August 2013. In addition, the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was decreased to (i) the greater of 3.75% or 3.25% in excess of the LIBOR Rate or (ii) the greater of 3.75% or 0.50% in excess of Sovereign Bank’s prime rate, as elected by the Company in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement and no balance was outstanding under the Sovereign Revolving Facility.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 22, 2008, the Company obtained a $3.0 million term loan from Sovereign Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Sovereign Term Facility”). Prior to entering into the term loan, the Company had borrowed $2.5 million under the Sovereign Revolving Facility to fund the initial tooling costs related to a long-term contract award. The Company used the proceeds from the Sovereign Term Facility to repay the borrowings under the Sovereign Revolving Facility and to pay for additional tooling related to the long-term contract. The Sovereign Term Facility bears interest at LIBOR (2.85% at June 30, 2010) plus 2.5% and is secured by all of the assets of the Company.

Concurrent with entering into the Sovereign Term Facility, Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility extending the term until August 2010 and amending the covenants, as defined, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The terms and conditions of the Sovereign Revolving Facility are applicable to the Sovereign Term Facility.

Additionally, the Company and Sovereign Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $3 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Sovereign Bank representing interest on the notional amount at a rate of 5.8% and receives an amount from Sovereign representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 5.8% over the term of the Sovereign Term Facility.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

The maturities of the Sovereign Term Facility are as follows:

Six months ending December 31,

8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 24% and 29%, respectively, of revenue was directly from the U.S. government. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s three largest commercial customers accounted for 29%, 20% and 13% of revenue, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s three largest Commercial customers accounted for 31%, 17% and 13% of revenue, respectively.

9. EQUITY

On April 6, 2010, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock at a sale price of $7.80 per share, upon the closing of a “registered direct” offering primarily to institutional investors. The gross proceeds of the offering were $3.9 million and net proceeds, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $3.5 million.

A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of common stock was used to pay off the revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed 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 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 Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to 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 principally for the U.S. Air Force and other branches of the U.S. armed forces, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor for other defense prime contractors. Our strategy for growth has focused on government and military sales as a prime contractor and increasingly as a subcontractor for leading aerospace prime contractors.

Due to our success as a subcontractor to defense prime contractors and growth in the commercial sector, we are also pursuing opportunities to increase our commercial subcontracting business.

Marketing and New Business

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received approximately $31.1 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $5.6 million of government prime contract awards, approximately $24.4 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $1.1 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $4.9 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.

We still have approximately $288 million in formalized bids outstanding as of June 30, 2010 and continue to make bids on contracts on a weekly basis. While we cannot predict the probability of obtaining or the timing of awards, some of these outstanding proposals are significant in amount.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The lengths of our contracts vary but are typically between nine months and two years for U.S. government contracts (although our T-38 contract and our C-5 TOP contract are for periods of ten years and seven years, respectively), and up to ten years for commercial contracts. Except in cases where contract terms permit us to bill on a progress basis, we must incur upfront costs in producing assemblies and bill our customers upon delivery. Because of the upfront costs incurred, the timing of our billings and the nature of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting described below, there can be a significant disparity between the periods in which (a) costs are expended, (b) revenue and earnings are recorded and (c) cash is received.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from our contracts over the contractual period under the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method of accounting. Under the POC method of accounting, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as an asset captioned “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded as a liability captioned “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in cost of sales in the period the change becomes known. The use of the POC method of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any reporting period. We continually evaluate all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting; however, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be accurate. If our estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, we will be forced to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if our estimates are accurate, we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and we may need to borrow money to fund our work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $12,544,625 compared to $11,437,691 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $1,106,934 or 9.7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenue was $23,550,154 compared to $21,128,926 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $2,421,228 or 11.5%.

We generate revenue from government contracts for which we act as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor as well as from commercial contracts. Revenue generated from prime government contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5,537,755 compared to $6,112,432 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $574,677 or 9.4%. This anticipated decrease resulted from our refocused marketing efforts on subcontracting work over the last two years. Revenue generated from government subcontracts for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $13,601,460 compared to $6,520,811 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $7,080,649 or 108.6%. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of work performed for the Boeing Company on the A-10 attack jet and Northrop Grumman Corporation on the E-2D surveillance airplane. Revenue generated from commercial contracts was $4,410,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $8,495,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $4,084,743 or 48.1%. The decrease in revenue from commercial contracts is the result of a decrease in work performed on the Gulfstream G650 executive jet, an expected result of normal scheduling and delivery requirements of this long term production program.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $3,351,329 compared to $2,832,255 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $519,074. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 26.7% compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $6,100,411 compared to $4,895,151 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1,205,260. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 25.9% compared to 23.2% for the same period last year. As our three long term subcontract programs have matured, we have improved our efficiency and have overcome the normal program costs associated with the start up phase of long term programs. Our gross margin of 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is within our expected gross margin percentage range.

We expect gross margin percentage to be the range of 24%-26% for the remainder of 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $1,484,741 compared to $1,386,064 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $98,677, or 7.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,870,368 compared to $2,575,294 for the same period last year, an increase of $295,074, or 11.5%. The increase is primarily due to a $113,000 increase in salaries and payroll taxes, a $108,000 increase in public fees and a $75,000 increase in accrued bonus.

Income Before Provision for Income Taxes

Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,826,254 compared to $1,389,489 for the same period last year, an increase of $436,765. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, income before provision for income taxes was $3,130,068 compared to $2,216,410 for the same period last year, and increase of $913,658.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $621,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, or 34% of pre-tax income, compared to $486,000 or 35% of pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Provision for income taxes was $1,064,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, or 34% of pre-tax income compared to $767,000 or 35% or pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,205,254, or $0.18 per basic share, compared to net income of $903,489, or $0.15 per basic share, for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $2,066,068, or $0.33 per basic share, compared to net income of $1,449,410, or $0.24 per basic share, for the same period last year. Diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.18, calculated utilizing 6,790,911 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.32, calculated utilizing 6,465,290 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.14, calculated utilizing 6,250,021 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.23, calculated utilizing 6,183,881 average shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

At June 30, 2010, we had working capital of $44,980,846 compared to $39,118,450 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $5,862,396, or 15.0%.

Cash Flow

A large portion of our cash is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments. Contracts that permit us to bill on a progress basis must be classified as “on time” for us to apply for progress payments. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” on our 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 the POC method of accounting 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 until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

At June 30, 2010, we had a cash balance of $774,326 compared to $2,224,825 at December 31, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used cash to pay taxes of approximately $2,276,000 and we repaid $2,200,000 of our line of credit with Sovereign Bank.

Stock Offering

On April 6, 2010, we sold 500,000 shares of common stock at a sale price of $7.80 per share, upon the closing of a “registered direct” offering primarily to institutional investors. The gross proceeds of the offering were $3.9 million and net proceeds, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and estimated offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $3.5 million.

The net proceeds from the sale of common stock in the offering are available to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes and were used to pay off our revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank.

Credit Facilities

Line of Credit

In August 2007, we entered into a two-year, $2,500,000 revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank (the “Sovereign Revolving Facility”), secured by all of our assets.

On July 7, 2009, the Company and Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility, increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $2,500,000 to an aggregate of $3,500,000 and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2010 to August 2011.

On May 26, 2010, the Company entered into a third amendment to its credit agreement with Sovereign Bank increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $3,500,000 to an aggregate of $4,000,000 and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2011 to August 2013. In addition, the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was decreased to (i) the greater of 3.75% or 3.25% in excess of the LIBOR Rate or (ii) the greater of 3.75% or 0.50% in excess of Sovereign Bank’s prime rate, as elected by the Company in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement and we had no balance outstanding under the Sovereign Revolving Facility.

Term Loan

On October 22, 2008, we obtained a $3 million term loan from Sovereign Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Sovereign Term Facility”). Prior to entering into the term loan we had borrowed $2.5 million under the Sovereign Revolving Facility to fund the initial tooling costs related to the previously mentioned long-term contract with Spirit. We used the proceeds from the Sovereign Term Facility to repay the borrowings under the Sovereign Revolving Facility and to pay for additional tooling related to the Spirit contract. The Sovereign Term Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and is secured by all of our assets.

The terms and conditions of the Sovereign Revolving Facility are applicable to the Sovereign Term Facility.

Additionally, the Company and Sovereign Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $3 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Sovereign Bank representing interest on the notional amount of 5.8% and receives an amount from Sovereign representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.5%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 5.8% over the term of the Sovereign Term Facility.
