NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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, 2016 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 of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of 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 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, 2016. 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 two financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $514,965 of uninsured balances. The Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.
The Company predominantly recognizes revenue from 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 during any reporting period. The Company continually evaluates all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting; however, it cannot be assured that estimates will be accurate. If estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, the Company is required to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if estimates are accurate, there may be a shortfall in cash flow and the Company may need to borrow money, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund its work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

(UNAUDITED)
When changes are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had information that the United States Air Force ("USAF") was intending to increase the number of ship sets on order for the A-10. An increase in the number of ship sets on order would improve the Company’s estimated gross margin on the overall program.
In April 2016, the Company became aware that the USAF had reevaluated its position and as such had deferred any decision regarding increasing the orders on the A-10 program. These changes in position by the USAF were supported by communications from Boeing, the Company’s customer.
Based on the above facts, the Company believed that it was not probable that there would be any future orders on the A-10 beyond the 173 currently on order. As a result of the information that management became aware of in April 2016, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 the Company estimated that the A-10 program would run through the conclusion of its current purchase order with Boeing at ship set number 173. The change in estimate resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $8.9 million and an increase in cost of sales of approximately $4.6 million, for an aggregate charge of approximately $13.5 million.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The fundamental principles of the guidance are that entities should recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of transfer of goods and services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive for the goods and services provided. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with the new standard required to be adopted for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s project implementation team, with the assistance of a third-party consultant, has been evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, we believe that the new standard will have an impact primarily on the recognition of revenue related to distinct deliverables, as defined in the standard, within a long-term, multi-deliverable contract. We continue to review potential required disclosures. In addition, we continue to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations being undertaken by the FASB, which may impact the Company’s current conclusions. The Company will adopt the new standard on its effective date using the modified retrospective method. The Company anticipates using an input method to determine the amounts to be recognized as revenue upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.
In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and nonlease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASU 2014-09. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its financial statements.

2. stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the stock or stock-based instrument on the date of grant.
In January 2017, the Company granted 59,395 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2017 year. On January 1, 2016, the Company granted 53,882 RSUs to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2016 year. RSUs vest quarterly on a straight-line basis over a one-year period. The Company’s net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes approximately $517,000 and $564,500, respectively, of noncash compensation expense related to the RSU grants to the board of directors. This expense is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 5,550 shares of common stock to various employees and approximately $13,300 of compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $37,500 of compensation expense is included in cost of sales for this grant.
In August 2016 and March 2017, the Company granted 98,645 and 73,060 shares of common stock, respectively, to various employees. In the event that any of these employees voluntarily terminates their employment prior to certain dates, portions of the shares may be forfeited. In addition, if certain Company performance criteria are not achieved, portions of these shares may be forfeited. These shares will be expensed during various periods through March 2021 based upon the service and performance thresholds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately $208,800 of compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $44,100 of compensation expense is included in cost of sales for this grant. In March 2017, 12,330 of the shares granted in August of 2016 were forfeited because the Company failed to achieve certain performance criteria for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, on March 9, 2017, these employees returned 4,525 common shares, valued at approximately $33,000, to pay the employees’ withholding taxes.
A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of September 30, 2017 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows:
| Options | Weighted average exercise price | Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years) | Aggregate intrinsic value | |||||||||||||
| Outstanding | ||||||||||||||||

3. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value
The Company’s use of derivative instruments has been to hedge interest rates. These derivative contracts are entered into with a financial institution. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes and has procedures in place to monitor and control their use.
We record these derivative financial instruments on the condensed balance sheets 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.
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.
In March 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing the Company’s 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 these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges. 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 March 31, 2016. The interest rate swap contract was terminated as of March 24, 2016. The Company paid approximately $4,000 at termination to settle the swap contract.
In May 2016, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with the objective of reducing its exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of this contract 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. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a net deferred loss associated with the interest rate swap of approximately $10,800, which was included in other liabilities.
Fair Value
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

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 of the interest differential between the contractual swap and the replacement swap.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effect of such revisions in total estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to the total gross profit to be earned on the contracts of approximately $1,684,000 from that which would have been reported had the revised estimates been used as the basis of recognition of contract profits in prior years, excluding the effect of the A-10 contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the effect of such revisions was a decrease to total gross profit of approximately $1,627,000.
Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to uncompleted open contracts, it is possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.
| 5. | income (Loss) PER COMMON SHARE |
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock, as well as unvested RSUs. Incremental shares of 74,168 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Incremental shares of 89,466 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, 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 48,469 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Incremental shares of 179,983 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three month period ended September 30, 2016, 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. No incremental shares were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, as the effect of incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.
| 6. | Line of credit |
On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Agreement”) with Sovereign Bank, now called Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”), as the sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent, and Valley National Bank. The Restated Agreement provided for a revolving credit loan (“Revolving Facility”) commitment of $35 million and was terminated in March 2016.
On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank United, N.A. as the sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent and Citzens Bank N.A. (the “BankUnited Facility”). The BankUnited Facility provides for a revolving credit loan commitment of $30 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and a $10 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The proceeds of the BankUnited Facility were used to pay off all amounts outstanding under the Santander Term Facility and the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate based upon a pricing grid, as defined in the agreement. The term of the BankUnited Facility is through March 23, 2019.
On May 9, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the BankUnited Facility. The Amendment changed the definition of EBITDA for the Leverage Coverage Ratio Covenant for the remainder of 2016 and changed the maximum leverage ratio from 3 to 1 to 3.5 to 1 for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Also, the Amendment increased the interest rate on the BankUnited Facility by 50 basis points and requires the repayment of a portion of the Term Loan if and to the extent that the Company receives any contract reimbursement payments from its current Request for Equitable Adjustment with Boeing on the A-10 program.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the BankUnited Facility, as amended.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $23.4 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan bearing interest at 4.75%.
The BankUnited Facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT
On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). The Santander Term Facility was used to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs.
Additionally, the Company and Santander entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company paid an amount to Santander representing interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 4.11% and received an amount from Santander representing interest on the notional amount of a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap was the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Facility.
The Santander interest swap agreement was terminated and the Santander Term Facility was paid off on March 24, 2016 using the proceeds of the BankUnited Facility (see Note 6).
In May 2016, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with the objective of reducing its exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date and currency of this contract match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.
The Company paid approximately $254,000 of debt issuance costs in connection with the BankUnited Facility of which approximately $96,000 is included in other current assets and $32,000 is a reduction of long-term debt.
The Term Loan had an initial amount of $10 million, payable in monthly installments, as defined in the agreement, which matures on March 31, 2019.
The maturities of long-term debt (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) are as follows:
| Twelve months ending September 30, | ||||
| 2018 | $ | 1,863,711 | ||
| 2019 | 7,314,398 | |||

| 2021 | 27,354 | |||
| Thereafter | — | |||

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, 2016 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 a manufacturer of structural aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial and defense markets. Within the global aerostructure supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) 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 Air Force. In conjunction with our assembly operations, we provide engineering, program management, supply chain management, and Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (“MRO”) services.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Backlog
We produce custom assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Backlog consists of aggregate values under such contracts and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues on the basis of percentage of completion accounting, and including estimates of future contract price escalation. 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:
| Backlog
(Total) | September
30, 2017 | December
31, 2016 | ||||||
| Funded | $ | 100,583,000 | $ | 94,540,000 | ||||
| Unfunded | 297,309,000 | 321,744,000 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 397,892,000 | $ | 416,284,000 | ||||
Approximately 79% of the total amount of our backlog at September 30, 2017 was attributable to government contracts. Our backlog attributable to government contracts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:
| Backlog
(Government) | September
30, 2017 | December
31, 2016 | ||||||
| Funded | $ | 94,609,000 | $ | 92,189,000 | ||||
| Unfunded | 218,682,000 | 229,543,000 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 313,291,000 | $ | 321,732,000 | ||||
Our backlog attributable to commercial contracts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:
| Backlog
(Commercial) | September
30, 2017 | December
31, 2016 | ||||||
| Funded | $ | 5,974,000 | $ | 2,351,000 | ||||
| Unfunded | 78,627,000 | 92,201,000 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 84,601,000 | $ | 94,552,000 | ||||
Our unfunded backlog is primarily comprised of the long-term contracts for the G650, E-2D, F-16, T-38, F-35, HondaJet Light Business Jet, Bell AH-1Z, Cessna Citation X+, Sikorsky S-92 and Embraer Phenom 300. These long-term contracts are expected to have yearly orders, which will be funded in the future.
The low level of funded backlog on commercial programs is the result of customers placing funded orders based upon expected lead time. These programs are under long-term agreements with our customers, and as such, we are protected by termination liability provisions.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund our work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.
When adjustments are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $20,706,460 compared to $22,110,829 for the same period last year, a decrease of $1,404,369 or 6.4%. This decrease is predominantly the result of a normal cyclical decrease in revenue on the Company’s E-2D program.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $57,471,112 compared to $57,061,826 for the same period last year, an increase of $409,286 or 0.7%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had information that the United States Air Force ("USAF") was intending to increase the number of ship sets on order for the A-10. An increase in the number of ship sets on order would improve the Company’s estimated gross margin on the overall program.
In April 2016, the Company became aware that the USAF had reevaluated its position and as such had deferred any decision regarding increasing the orders on the A-10 program. These changes in position by the USAF were supported by communications from Boeing, the Company’s customer.
Based on the above facts, the Company believed that it was not probable that there would be any future orders on the A-10 beyond the 173 currently on order. As a result of the information that management became aware of in April 2016, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 the Company estimated that the A-10 program would run through the conclusion of its current purchase order with Boeing at ship set number 173. The change in estimate resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $8.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
In addition to the change in estimate adjustment to revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which caused military revenue to be unusually low in that year, military revenue in 2017 increased by approximately $10.0 million.
Revenue from commercial subcontracts was $21,485,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $31,170,895 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $9,685,541 or 31.1%. The decrease in revenue is the result of an approximate $4.9 million decrease in revenue on our Embraer Phenom 300 program, as production rates have declined and a $3.8 million decrease in revenue on our G650 program.
Inflation historically has not had a material effect on our operations.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $15,794,024 and $17,086,461, respectively, a decrease of $1,292,437 or 7.6%, This decrease is the result of the comparable decline in revenue.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $44,337,414 and $58,642,561, respectively, a decrease of $14,305,147 or 24.4%. The provision for contract losses, as well as lower rate production on our E-2D, Phenom 300 and Embraer programs, all described above, have resulted in lower cost of sales.

Other contract costs (credit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $(933,126) compared to $1,376,794, a decrease of $2,309,920. Other contract costs (credit) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $(198,128) compared to $(1,627,650), an increase of $1,429,522. Other contract costs relate to expenses recognized for changes in estimates and expenses predominately associated with loss contracts. Other contract costs are comprised predominantly of charges related to the change in estimate on the A-10 program in 2016. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other contract costs are a credit, as we have incurred actual expenses on our A-10 program that had been previously recognized as part of the change in estimate charge.
Procurement for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $28,613,115 compared to $39,000,097, a decrease of $10,386,982 or 26.6%. Procurement for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $10,709,002 compared to $12,767,192, a decrease of $2,058,190 or 16.1%. This decrease is a result of a $5.0 million decrease in procurement on our E-2D program, as we are shipping parts from stock and lowering inventory on this program, as well as an approximately $5.8 million decrease in procurement on the commercial programs described above.
Labor costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $5,252,745 compared to $6,280,722, a decrease of $1,027,977 or 16.4%. The decrease is the result of an approximate $322,000 decrease in the commercial programs described above, as well as a $705,000 decrease in military programs. Labor costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,666,176 compared to $1,950,312, a decrease of $284,135 or 14.6%.
Factory overhead for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $11,404,680 compared to $11,984,948, a decrease of $580,268 or 4.8%. Factory overhead for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $3,616,974 compared to $3,996,607, a decrease of $379,633 or 9.5%.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a profit of $13,133,698 compared to a loss of $1,580,735 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $14,714,433, predominately the result of the change in estimate on the A-10 program.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $4,912,436 compared to $5,024,368 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $111,932 predominately the result of lower volume, as described above.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Favorable/Unfavorable Adjustments to Gross Profit (Loss)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, circumstances required that we make changes in estimates to various contracts. Such changes in estimates resulted in decreases in total gross profit as follows:
| Nine months ended | ||||||||
| September
30, 2017 | September
30, 2016 | |||||||
| Favorable adjustments | $ | 381,000 | $ | 235,000 | ||||
| Unfavorable adjustments | (2,065.000 | ) | (1,862,000 | ) | ||||
| Net adjustments | $ | (1,684,000 | ) | $ | (1,627,000 | ) | ||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had three contracts which had approximately $910,000, $506,000 and $436,000 of unfavorable adjustments caused by changing estimates on a long-term program; we are working with the customer to agree to contract extensions and expect to have to decrease our selling price. Additionally, we had one contract that had a gap in production, as well as a smaller than expected order quantity. The gap in production and low quantity has resulted in an unfavorable adjustment of approximately $508,000. There were no other material changes favorable or unfavorable during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had one contract which had approximately $270,000 of an unfavorable adjustment caused by excess labor and procurement costs due to difficulty in the manufacturing process. In addition, we had an approximate $354,000 unfavorable adjustment on one contract that was canceled by the government. Also, we had four contracts that each had between $140,000 and $245,000 (cumulatively $890,000) of unfavorable adjustments caused by excess labor costs incurred. No other individual favorable or unfavorable changes in estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were material.
In addition to the above mentioned unfavorable adjustments, in 2016 we had the unfavorable adjustment of approximately $13.5 million related to the A-10 program described previously.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $2,044,304 compared to $2,014,147 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $30,157 or 1.5%. This change was predominately the result of an increase of $150,000 in accrued bonuses and an increase of $150,000 in bad debt expense, offset by a decrease of approximately $147,000 in professional fees, a decrease of $90,000 in salaries and a decrease of $56,000 in marketing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $6,210,380 compared to $6,603,321 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $392,941 or 6.0%. This decrease was predominately the result of an approximately $456,000 decrease in professional fees because of the extended audit CPI had in 2016 and an approximately $246,000 decrease in loss on unrealized receivables, offset by an increase in salaries of $83,000 and an increase in accrued bonuses of $300,000.
Income (Loss) Before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,465,513 compared to $2,672,065 for the same period last year, a decrease of $206,552. Income before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5,664,461 compared to loss before benefit from income taxes of $9,121,579 for the same period last year, an increase of $14,786,040, predominately the result of the change in estimate on the A-10 program.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $770,000 and $1,954,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to provision for income taxes of $986,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and a benefit from income taxes of $3,378,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate at September 30, 2017 was 35%. The benefit from income taxes recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulted in the booking of a deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14.6 million which will expire in 2031. Our historical tax rates have been below the federal statutory rate because of the effect of permanent differences between book and tax deductions, predominately the R&D tax credit and the domestic production activity deduction.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,695,513 or $0.19 per basic share, compared to $1,686,065 or $0.19 per basic share for the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3,710,461 or $0.42 per basic share, compared to a loss of $5,743,579 or $0.67 per basic share for the same period last year. Diluted income per share was $0.19 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 calculated utilizing 8,872,810 weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.42, calculated utilizing 8,841,397 average shares outstanding as adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and RSUs. Diluted income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.19, calculated utilizing 8,692,420 average shares outstanding as adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and RSUs. Basic and diluted income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were the same as effects of outstanding options would be anti-dilutive.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At September 30, 2017, we had working capital of $75,782,789 compared to $70,595,485 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $5,187,304 or 7.3%.
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 “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” on our condensed 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, or to raise additional capital, until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.
At September 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $711,083 compared to $1,039,586 at December 31, 2016.
Our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings increased by approximately $8.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
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.
We continue to work to obtain better payment terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternative funding sources.
We believe that our existing resources, together with the availability under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of our Form 10-Q.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Credit Facilities
Credit Agreement and Term Loan
On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank United, N.A. as the sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent and Citzens Bank, N.A. (the “BankUnited Facility”). The BankUnited Facility provides for a revolving credit loan commitment of $30 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and a $10 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The proceeds of the BankUnited Facility were used to pay off all amounts outstanding under the Santander Term Loan and the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate based upon a pricing grid, as defined in the agreement.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company was not in compliance with the net profit, Debt Service Coverage, and Leverage Coverage Ratio financial covenants contained in the BankUnited Facility, which non-compliance was waived (the “Waiver”) by the banks. On May 9, 2016 the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the BankUnited Facility which, among other things, provided for the Waiver. In addition, the Amendment changes the definition of EBITDA for the Leverage Coverage Ratio Covenant for the remainder of 2016 and changes the maximum leverage ratio from 3 to 1 to 3.5 to 1 for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Also, the Amendment increased the interest rate on the BankUnited Facility by 50 basis points and requires the repayment of a portion of the Term Loan if and to the extent that the Company receives any contract reimbursement payments from its current Request for Equitable Adjustment with Boeing on the A-10 program.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $23.4 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan bearing interest at 4.75%.
The BankUnited Revolving Facility is secured by all of our assets.
The Term Loan had an initial amount of $10 million, payable in monthly installments, as defined in the agreement, which matures on March 31, 2019. The maturities of the Term Loan are included in the maturities of long-term debt.
On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). Santander Term Facility was used to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs.
Additionally, the Company and Santander entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company paid an amount to Santander representing interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 4.11% and received an amount from Santander representing interest on the notional amount of a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap was the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Facility.
The Santander interest swap agreement was terminated and the Santander Term Facility paid off on March 24, 2016 using the proceeds of the BankUnited Facility.
In May 2016, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with the objective of reducing its exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of this contract match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.
