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 March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (as restated) 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, 2020 (as restated) has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, as restated (see Note 14 for more information on the effect of the restatement), 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 comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Comprehensive Form 10-K/A”), as restated. 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 six 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 March 31, 2021, the Company had $655,960 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 October 28, 2021 which extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2022, (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 $163 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 our first quarter and subsequent to our 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 United States (“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 “The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our operations, supply chain, and customers has impacted and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Comprehensive Form 10-K/A.

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 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 typically 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.

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.”

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by contract type:

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 March 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $163 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 March 31, 2021. The Company estimates that it will recognize approximately 48% of this amount in fiscal year 2021 and the remainder by 2023.

3.        Contract assets and contract liabilities

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

Revenue recognized for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was approximately $1.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

4.       inventory

The components of inventory consisted of the following:

5.       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. The Company recognized a net total of $343,727 and $347,185 of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted 135,512 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2021 year. In January 2020, the Company granted 73,350 RSUs to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2020 year. RSUs vest quarterly on a straight-line basis over a one-year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $284,000 and $258,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the RSU grants to the board of directors are included selling, general and administrative expenses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not grant any shares of common stock to employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $48,000 and $72,000, respectively, of compensation expense are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $11,000 and $18,000, respectively, of compensation expense are included in cost of sales for shares of common stock granted to employees between 2016 and 2020.

6.       Fair Value

Fair Value

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

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

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 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 101,631 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Incremental shares of 55,162 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as the Company is in a loss position and these shares would be considered anti-dilutive.

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

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Waiver and Seventh Amendment (“Seventh Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Seventh Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to July 31, 2022, and (b) amending the leverage ratio covenant 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 (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Eighth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to December 31, 2022, (b) reducing the availability under the Revolving Loan from $24 million to $21 million while eliminating the requirement to maintain a minimum $3.0 million in a combination of Revolving Loan availability and unrestricted cash, (c) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the Term Loan in three installments of $250,000 on November 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through 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 ended 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.

The BankUnited Facility, as amended, requires us to maintain the following financial covenants: (a) minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0 at December 31, 2020 and for the trailing four quarter period at the end of each quarter after June 30, 2021; (b) a minimum net income, after taxes, of no less than $1.00; (c) a maximum leverage ratio as follows: for the fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2021 - 5.0 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 - 4.75 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ended 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); and (d) a minimum adjusted EBITDA at the end of each quarter of no less than $1 million.

The BankUnited Facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets and both the Revolving Loan and Term Loan bear interest at the Prime Rate + 0.75% as of March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, the Company had $21,000,000 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

The Term Loan, as amended by the Eighth Amendment, had an aggregate principal amount of $6,708,333, payable in monthly installments, as defined in the agreement, as of March 31, 2021.

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 is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”). Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has an initial term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Note provides for customary events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with the lender. The PPP Loan may be 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. All amounts are 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 have been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan will be recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.

The maturities of long-term debt (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) are as follows:

Included in the long-term debt are financing leases and other notes payable of $601,594 and $678,428 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, including a current portion of $234,022 and $367,572, respectively.

The Company has cumulatively paid $595,540 of total debt issuance costs in connection with the BankUnited Facility, of which $68,435 is included in other assets at March 31, 2021.

9.       MAJOR CUSTOMERS

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s two largest customers accounted for 39% and 25% of revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for 39%, 14% and 10% of revenue.

At March 31, 2021, 50%, 14%, 12% and 10% of contract assets were from the Company’s four largest customers. At December 31, 2020, 39%, 20%, 12%, and 9% of contract assets were from the Company’s four largest customers.

At March 31, 2021, 31%, 16%, and 13% of our accounts receivable were from the Company’s three largest customers. At December 31, 2020, 29%, 24%, 15%, and 13% of accounts receivable were from the Company’s four largest customers.

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 months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s operating lease expense was $466,869.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of March 31, 2021 were as follows:

The following table sets forth the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2021:

The Company’s weighted average remaining lease term for its operating leases is 2.1 years.

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.

Class Action Lawsuit

As previously disclosed, a consolidated class action lawsuit has been filed against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s 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 through February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC, by making false and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed between March 22, 2018 through 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 (the “Settlement Amount”). On July 9, 2021, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. After satisfaction of our $750,000 retention, the Settlement Amount will be covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2021, we have previously paid or accrued to our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and have therefore met our directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which caps the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.

At March 31, 2021, in order to reflect the amounts owed from our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier and to the Plaintiffs, we have recorded to our balance sheet a litigation settlement obligation of $3,391,233 and an insurance recovery receivable of $2,850,000; this obligation and receivable will be relieved from our balance sheet upon the payment of the Settlement Amount to the Plaintiff by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier. 

Shareholder Derivative Action

Four shareholder derivative actions have been filed against current members of our board of directors and certain of our current and former officers.

The first action (captioned Moulton v. McCrosson, et.al., No. 20-cv-02092) was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act and breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution, 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), and 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, and purports to assert derivative claims against current and former members of our board of directors, and certain of our current and former officers. The complaint, which is based on the shareholder’s inspection of certain corporate books and records, purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and seeks to implement reforms to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures and to recover on behalf of the Company an unspecified amount of monetary damages.  The complaint also seeks equitable, injunctive, and monetary relief, as well as attorneys’ fees and other costs.

On March 19, 2021, the parties to the Moulton and Berger actions filed a joint stipulation consolidating the actions and staying the consolidated action pending further developments in the class action.

The fourth action (captioned Wurst v. Bazaar, et al., Index No. 605244/2021) was filed on March 24, 2021, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Suffolk County), and purports to assert derivative claims against the Company’s current and former executive officers, certain board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant. 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.

Each of these derivative actions is based substantially on the same facts alleged in the class action complaint summarized above.

SEC Investigation

On May 22, 2020, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC Division of Enforcement (the “Division”) seeking documents and information relating, among other things, to previously disclosed errors in and restatement of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s October 16, 2018 equity offering and the recent separation of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officers. By letter dated March 12, 2021, the Division Staff notified the Company that the Division has concluded its investigation and, based on the information the Division has as of such date, it does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. The Division’s notice was provided under the guidelines described in the final paragraph of Securities Act Release No. 5310 which states in part that the notice “must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the staff’s investigation.”

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On April 10, 2020, the Company obtained a PPP Loan from Dime, in the principal amount of $4,795,000 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act as administered by the SBA. In November 2020, the Company submitted its forgiveness application and the loan necessity questionnaire to the SBA through Dime.

On July 13, 2021, the Company received notification through Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon have been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan will be recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.

Restatement due to Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves

As previously reported, on June 4, 2021, the audit and finance committee (the “Audit and Finance Committee”) of the board of directors of the Company determined, based on the recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that the Company’s financial statements which were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of inventory costing and related internal controls (the “Inventory Costing Errors”) and that management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such periods should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s management identified the Inventory Costing Errors during its inventory testing procedures for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. At the time of the June 2021 disclosure, the Company estimated and disclosed that the Inventory Costing Errors were expected to increase 2020 net loss reported on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 by $1.9 million to $2.3 million. The Company has determined that the Inventory Costing Errors increased 2020 net loss by $2,010,084.

The correction of the Inventory Costing Errors resulted in the determination that certain contracts were in a loss position and certain inventory items required additional reserves. The Company reevaluated the sufficiency of its provisions for loss contracts and inventory reserves that it had previously recorded and concluded that increases to these reserves were required. The insufficient reserves resulting from such reserve increases are referred to as “Additional Inventory Reserves” and “Loss Contract Reserve” and are together referred to as the “Insufficient Reserves.” It was further determined by management that the appropriate starting point for increasing the Insufficient Reserves was during the fourth quarter of 2019.

On November 16, 2021, the Audit and Finance Committee determined, based on the analysis and recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick, that the Company’s financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of the Insufficient Reserves, that, similarly, management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such period should no longer be relied upon, and stated that the Company expected to restate its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC (the “Original Forms 10-Q”) by filing a Comprehensive Form 10-K/A.

The Company, upon conducting an analysis of the impact of the Insufficient Reserves on previously reported financial results, determined that net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $324,231 and $2,189,728, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Considering both the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, the Company determined that the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and the net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is $24,556 more than the net income reported in the Quarterly Report for such period.

The Inventory Costing Errors resulted from software processing and coding errors, inconsistent units of measure being used for quantities ordered and quantities received of certain purchased parts, incorrect accruals to accounting periods of the cost of certain goods received and the Company not having a procedure to address over- or under-absorbed overhead costs at the end of accounting periods. The Inventory Costing Errors affected the income reported with respect to the Company’s product lines for which revenue is recognized when a product ships to customers, which accounted for approximately 15% of total 2020 revenue (the “Non-POC Contracts”). The Inventory Costing Errors did not affect income reported with respect to the Company’s products for which revenue is recognized over time using percentage of completion accounting (the “POC Contracts”). The Loss Contract Reserve and the Additional Inventory Reserves also only affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s Non-POC Contracts, and do not affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s POC Contracts. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect either prior reported revenue or cash flow for fiscal 2020 and 2019.

Management has considered the effect of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves on the Company’s prior conclusions of the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the applicable periods. As a result of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, management has determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Part II Item 9A – Controls and Procedures included in the Comprehensive Form 10-K/A for a description of these matters.

As a result of the restatement caused by the Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves, the Company reported net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 which is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-K”) and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 which is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Original Forms 10-Q, and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 which is $24,556 greater than the net income reported in the Original Form 10-Q. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect reported revenue or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, or for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2020.

The Comprehensive Form 10-K/A contains our audited restated annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as our unaudited restated quarterly financial statements as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The restatement is discussed in more detail within Part II, Item 8 Note 17, “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Comprehensive Form 10-K/A.

NYSE American Delinquency Notices

On May 25, 2021, we received a notice from NYSE American LLC stating that our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021 caused us to be out of compliance with the NYSE American LLC’s continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Also, our failure to timely file our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 is an additional noncompliance with the NYSE American LLC’s continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the Company Guide.

In accordance with Section 1007 of the Company Guide, the Company was provided a six-month initial period to regain compliance with the timely filing criteria. The Company has not yet filed our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Delayed Filings”). On November 17, 2021, the Company submitted a request for additional time in which to file the Delayed Filings, which included a plan to regain compliance with Section 1007 of the Company Guide. On November 23, 2021, the Company was notified that the NYSE American had accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards and granted a period through April 14, 2022 in which to file the Delayed Filings. If the Company is unable to cure the delinquency by April 14, 2022, the Company may request an additional extension up to the maximum cure period of May 24, 2022. In addition, if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period or if the Company does not complete its Delayed Filings and any subsequently delayed filings with the SEC by the end of the maximum 12-month cure period on May 24, 2022, the NYSE American staff will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

On September 17, 2021, we received notice from NYSE American LLC 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 has therefore become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to NYSE American LLC 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 NYSE American LLC that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the NYSE American staff may initiate delisting proceedings, as appropriate.

See Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors “If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American exchange, our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected, and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired.” in the Comprehensive Form 10-K/A.

Extension of Lease Agreement on Corporate Headquarters, Manufacturing and Office Space

On November 10, 2021, the Company executed a second amendment to the lease agreement for its manufacturing and office space, which extends the lease agreement’s expiration date to April 30, 2026.

As previously reported, on June 4, 2021, the Audit and Finance Committee determined, based on the recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick that the Company’s financial statements which were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC should no longer be relied upon due to the Inventory Costing Errors and that management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such periods should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s management identified the Inventory Costing Errors during its inventory testing procedures for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. At the time of the June 2021 disclosure, the Company estimated and disclosed that the Inventory Costing Errors were expected to increase 2020 net loss reported on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 by $1.9 million to $2.3 million. The Company has determined that the Inventory Costing Errors increased 2020 net loss by $2,010,084.

The correction of the Inventory Costing Errors resulted in the determination that certain contracts were in a loss position and certain inventory items required additional reserves. The Company re-evaluated the sufficiency of its provisions for loss contracts and inventory reserves that it had previously recorded and concluded that increases to these reserves were required. It was further determined by management that the appropriate starting point for increasing the Insufficient Reserves was during the fourth quarter of 2019.

On November 16, 2021, the Audit and Finance Committee determined, based on the analysis and recommendation of management and in consultation with CohnReznick, that the Company’s financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of the Insufficient Reserves, that, similarly, management’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for such period should no longer be relied upon, and stated that the Company expected to restate its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its Original Forms 10-Q by filing a Comprehensive Form 10-K/A.

The Company, upon conducting an analysis of the impact of the Insufficient Reserves on previously reported financial results, determined that net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $324,231 and $2,189,728, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Considering both the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, the Company determined that the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and the net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is $24,556 more than the net income reported in the Quarterly Report for such period.

The Inventory Costing Errors resulted from software processing and coding errors, inconsistent units of measure being used for quantities ordered and quantities received of certain purchased parts, incorrect accruals to accounting periods of the cost of certain goods received and the Company not having a procedure to address over- or under-absorbed overhead costs at the end of accounting periods. The Inventory Costing Errors affected the income reported with respect to the Company’s Non-POC Contracts. The Inventory Costing Errors did not affect income reported with respect to the Company’s POC Contracts. The Loss Contract Reserve and the Additional Inventory Reserves also only affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s Non-POC Contracts, and do not affect the income reported with respect to the Company’s POC Contracts. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect either prior reported revenue or cash flow for fiscal 2020 and 2019.

Management has considered the effect of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves on the Company’s prior conclusions of the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the applicable periods. As a result of the Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves, management has determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Part II Item 9A – Controls and Procedures within the Comprehensive Form 10-K/A for a description of these matters.

As a result of the restatement included caused by the Inventory Costing Errors and Insufficient Reserves, the Company reported net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 which is $2,334,315 and $2,300,083, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 which is $544,836 and $763,730, respectively, greater than the net loss reported in the respective Original Forms 10-Q, and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 which is $24,556 greater than the net income reported in the Original Form 10-Q. The Inventory Costing Errors and the Insufficient Reserves did not affect reported revenue or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, or for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2020.

2020 and 2019 Restatement

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

(a) Inventory Costing Errors

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

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

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

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

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

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

(b) Loss Contract Reserve

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

(c) Additional Inventory Reserves

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

(d) Income taxes

There were no material tax adjustments to the Company’s provision for/(benefit from) income taxes or net deferred tax assets (liabilities) related to the impact of the 2020 and 2019 restatement.

The following tables present the impact of the restatement on the Company’s previously reported financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020:
