NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necesary for fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.  Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  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, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

For comparability, certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2009.

 
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for compensation expense associated with stock options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”

The Company’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 includes approximately $302,000 and $405,000, respectively of non-cash compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options.  The Company’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 includes approximately $300,000 and $459,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options.  The non-cash compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
The estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the options granted during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009:
 
Risk-free interest rate
1.65% and 1.66%, respectively
Expected volatility
97.0% and 93.2%, respectively
Dividend yield
0%
Expected option term
5 years

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE

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

We account for these derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) as amended by SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).  SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the results of operations.  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

 

 

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


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

Derivative Instruments

In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with the objective of reducing our exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt.  The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying debt.  The Company has designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.  The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item.  No material ineffectiveness was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  As of June 30, 2009, we had a net deferred loss associated with cash flow hedges of approximately $88,000, due to the interest rate swap which has been included in Other Liabilities.

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

Fair Value

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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

We estimated the fair value of debt using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).  SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008.

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

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $88,003 and $128,056, respectively, was included in Other Liabilities related to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, and $58,083 and $84,517, respectively, net of tax of $29,921 and $43,539, respectively, was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

The change in unrealized loss from the Company’s interest rate swap of $19,106 and $23,374 is included in other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  Other comprehensive income was $922,595 and $1,472,784 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which the circumstances requiring the revisions occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the effect of such revisions in total estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to the total gross profit earned on certain contracts of approximately $3,150,000, from that which would have been reported had the revised estimate been used as the basis of recognition of contract profits in prior years.

5.
INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock.  Incremental shares of 254,556 and 193,689 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Incremental shares of 345,000 and 802,333 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.  Incremental shares of 271,545 and 285,751 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Incremental shares of 400,000 and 315,000 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.

6.
LINE OF CREDIT

In August 2007, the Company entered into a two-year, $2,500,000  revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank (the “Sovereign Revolving Facility”), secured by all of the Company’s assets. The Sovereign Revolving Facility specifies an interest rate equal to the lower of LIBOR plus 2% or Sovereign Bank’s prime rate. The effective rate as of June 30, 2009 was 3.25%. The Sovereign Facility contains financial covenants related to interest coverage, net income and capital expenditures, as defined in the credit agreement.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $2,400,000 outstanding under the Sovereign Revolving Facility.

7.           LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 22, 2008, the Company obtained a $3,000,000 term loan from Sovereign Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Sovereign Term Facility”). Prior to entering into the term loan, the Company had borrowed $2,500,000 under the Sovereign Revolving Facility to fund the initial tooling costs related to a long-term contract award.  The Company used the proceeds from the Sovereign Term Facility to repay the borrowings under the Sovereign Revolving Facility and to pay for additional tooling related to the long-term contract. The Sovereign Term Facility bears interest at LIBOR (0.32% at June 30, 2009) plus 2.5% and is secured by all of the assets of the Company.

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

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

Additionally, the Company and Sovereign Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $3,000,000. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Sovereign Bank representing interest on the notional amount at 5.8% and receives an amount from Sovereign representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR.  The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 5.8% over the term of the Sovereign Term Facility.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”).  This statement requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 incorporates the subsequent events guidance contained in the auditing standards literature into authoritative accounting literature. It also requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of their financial statements. SFAS 165 is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS 165 upon its issuance and it had no material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP.

10.           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date and through August 14, 2009, the financial statements issuance date, for appropriate accounting and disclosures.

On July 7, 2009, the Company and Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility, increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $2,500,000 to an aggregate of $3,500,000 and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2010 to August 2011. In addition, the interest rate of borrowings under the revolving credit facility was amended to (i) the greater of 4.0% or 3.5% in excess of the LIBOR rate or (ii) the greater of 4.0% or 0.75% in excess of Sovereign Bank’s prime rate, as elected by the Company in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement was further amended to increase the commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.50%  per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitment commencing September 30, 2009, and to permit the Company’s sale of a certain single customer accounts receivable.

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, 2008 and Item 2-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q.  We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
 


 
Business Operations
 


 
We are engaged in the contract production of structural aircraft parts principally for the U.S. Air Force and other branches of the U.S. armed forces, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor for other defense prime contractors. Our strategy for growth has focused on government and military sales as a prime contractor and increasingly as a subcontractor for leading aerospace prime contractors.
 
 
Due to our success as a subcontractor to defense prime contractors and growth in the commercial sector, we are also pursuing opportunities to increase our commercial subcontracting business.
 
 
Marketing and New Business
 
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received approximately $4.9 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $2.7 million of government prime contract awards, approximately $2.1 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $0.1 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $17.0 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year, a 71% decrease.  This decrease is the result of weak national economic conditions, which are affecting buying decisions throughout the military and commercial markets.
 
 
We still have approximately $390 million in formalized bids outstanding as of June 30, 2009 and continue to make bids on contracts on a weekly basis. As mentioned previously, we have increased our marketing efforts for both government and commercial subcontracting opportunities. While we cannot predict the probability of obtaining or the timing of awards, some of these outstanding proposals are significant in amount.

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

 

 


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


 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
 
Revenue Recognition
 


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


 
Stock-Based Compensation
 


 
We account for compensation expense associated with stock options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”

We generate revenue from government contracts for which we act as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor as well as from commercial contracts. Revenue generated from prime government contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $6,112,432 compared to $7,960,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1,848,358 or 23%.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,832,255 compared to $2,001,088 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $831,167. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 24.8% compared to 21.9% for the same period last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4,895,151 compared to $3,853,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1,041,464. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 23.2% compared to 22.8% for the same period last year. Gross profit percentage was within our expected range of 23%-25%.
 


 
We expect gross margin percentage to continue to be in the range of 23%-25% in the second half of 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,442,766 compared to $1,448,276 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $5,510, or 0.38%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,678,741 compared to $2,663,911 for the same period last year, an increase of $14,830, or 0.56%.  The increase is primarily due a $373,000 increase in salaries, the result of changing the classification of certain employees from factory overhead in 2008 to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009, and an $84,000 increase in interest expense partially offset by a $123,000 decrease in public relation fees, a $102,000 decrease in accounting and legal fees, and a $170,000 decrease in accrued bonus.


 
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
 


 
Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,389,489 compared to $552,812 for the same period last year, an increase of $836,677.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, income before provision for income taxes was $2,216,410 compared to $1,189,776 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,026,634.

Net Income
 


 
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $903,489, or $0.15 per basic share, compared to net income of $369,812, or $0.06 per basic share, for the same period last year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income was $1,449,410, or $0.24 per basic share, compared to net income of $789,776, or $0.13 per basic share, for the same period last year.  Diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.14, calculated utilizing 6,250,021 average shares outstanding.  Diluted income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.23, calculated utilizing 6,183,881 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.06, calculated utilizing 6,246,953 average shares outstanding.  Diluted income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.13, calculated utilizing 6,211,406 average shares outstanding.
 


 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 
General
 


 
At June 30, 2009, we had working capital of $36,709,564 compared to $35,135,395 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,574,169, or 4.5%.
 


 
Cash Flow
 


 
A large portion of our cash is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments.  Contracts that permit us to bill on a progress basis must be classified as “on time” for us to apply for progress payments.  Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” on our balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed.  These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.
 
 
Because the POC method of accounting requires us to use estimates in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period.  Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.
 


 
At June 30, 2009, we had a cash balance of $454,282 compared to $424,082 at December 31, 2008.  Our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings increased by approximately $6,610,155 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and accounts payable was primarily due to higher levels of procurement and production related to work on new contract awards and advances made to expedite delivery of tooling required for our new long-term contracts with Spirit and Northrop-Grumman.

Credit Facilities
 
 
Line of Credit
 


 
In August 2008, we entered into a two-year, $2,500,000 revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank (the “Sovereign Revolving Facility”), secured by all of our assets. The Sovereign Revolving Facility specifies an interest rate equal to the lower of LIBOR plus 2% or Sovereign Bank’s prime rate.  The effective rate as of June 30, 2009 was 2.82%.  The Sovereign Revolving Facility contains financial covenants related to interest coverage, net income and capital expenditures, as defined in the credit agreement.  As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2009, we had $2,400,000 outstanding under the Sovereign Revolving Facility.
 
 
On July 7, 2009, the Company and Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility, increasing the existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate of $2,500,000 to an aggregate of $3,500,000 and extending the term of the revolving credit facility from August 2010 to August 2011. In addition, the interest rate of borrowings under the revolving credit facility was amended to (i) the greater of 4.0% or 3.5% in excess of the LIBOR Rate or (ii) the greater of 4.0% or 0.75% in excess of Sovereign Bank’s prime rate, as elected by the Company in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement was further amended to increase the commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.50%  per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitment commencing September 30, 2009, and to permit the Company’s sale of certain accounts receivable.
 
 

 
 
Term Loan
 
 
On October 22, 2008, we obtained a $3,000,000 term loan from Sovereign Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Sovereign Term Facility”).  Prior to entering into the term loan we had borrowed $2,500,000 under the Sovereign Revolving Facility to fund the initial tooling costs related to the previously mentioned long-term contract with Spirit.  We used the proceeds from the Sovereign Term Facility to repay the borrowings under the Sovereign Revolving Facility and to pay for additional tooling related to the Spirit contract.  The Sovereign Term Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and is secured by all of our assets.
 
 
Concurrent with entering into the Sovereign Term Facility, Sovereign Bank amended the terms of the Sovereign Revolving Facility extending the term until August 2011 and amending the covenants, as defined, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
 
The terms and conditions of the Sovereign Revolving Facility are applicable to the Sovereign Term Facility.
 
 
Additionally, the Company and Sovereign Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $3,000,000.  Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Sovereign Bank representing interest on the notional amount of 5.8% and receives an amount from Sovereign representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.5%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 5.8% over the term of the Sovereign Term Facility.
