NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Interim Financial Statements:

The financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2007 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, 2007.

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 months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 includes approximately $159,000 and $109,000, 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 month period ended March 31, 2008:


Risk-free interest rate 4.50% Expected volatility 78% Dividend yield 0% Expected option term 5 years

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of March 31, 2008 and changes during the period is as follows:

As of March 31, 2008, there was $158,093 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards which will be amortized through December 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, 16,250 stock options were exercised for cash resulting in proceeds to the Company of $105,735.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company earned a tax benefit of approximately $278,000 resulting from the exercise of stock options. This amount has been credited to additional paid-in capital and applied to the current tax liability.

3. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS IN EXCESS OF BILLINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS:

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts consist of:


  March 31, 2008   U.S.
Government
Commercial Total Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $ 62,758,162 $ 17,346,484 $ 80,104,646 Estimated earnings 37,924,339 7,617,077 45,541,416 Sub-total 100,682,501 24,963,561 125,646,062 Less billings to date 70,498,813 22,422,950 92,921,763 Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $ 30,183,688 $ 2,540,611 $ 32,724,299

  December 31, 2007   U.S.
Government
Commercial Total Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $ 57,487,194 $ 16,632,515 $ 74,119,709 Estimated earnings 36,465,753 7,248,714 43,714,467 Sub-total 93,952,947 23,881,229 117,834,176 Less billings to date 64,782,716 21,903,279 86,685,995 Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $ 29,170,231 $ 1,977,950 $ 31,148,181

4. 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 month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 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 305,849 and 418,202 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Incremental shares of 260,000 and 383,750 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. 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’’ included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and ‘‘Item 7: 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. We also act as a subcontractor to prime contractors in the production of commercial aircraft parts. 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. In 2007, we were awarded approximately $22.7 million of prime contracts from the U.S. Government, compared to $23.0 million in 2006 and $14.4 million in 2005. Sixty-three percent (63%) and 75% of our revenue in 2007 and 2006, respectively, was generated by prime government contract sales. We were awarded approximately $9.0 million of government subcontracts from prime contractors in 2007 compared to $7.0 million in 2006 and $2.2 million in 2005. Thirty percent (30%) and 18% of our revenue in 2007 and 2006, respectively, was generated by subcontracts with defense 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. In 2007, we were awarded approximately $6.0 million of commercial subcontracts from prime contractors. Seven (7%) of our revenue in both 2007 and 2006, was generated by commercial contract sales. In March 2008, we were awarded a multi-year contract from Spirit to provide Spirit with major aerostructure assemblies, including structural leading edges, trailing edges and flap assemblies, for the Gulfstream G650 business jet, a commercial aircraft program that Spirit is supporting. The initial order is valued at approximately $3.5 million and we expect to record approximately $3 million of revenue under this contract during 2008. Potential revenue over the life of this program is expected to be approximately $86 million. Deliveries of these assemblies will begin in 2009 and continue through 2014.

The length of our contracts vary but is typically between six months and two years for U.S. government contracts (although our T-38 contract and our C-5 TOP contract are for periods of 10 years and 7 years, respectively), and up to 10 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,

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

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

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 taxes) 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 to 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.’’

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $7,790,754 compared to $5,471,968 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $2,318,786 or 42%. This increase is predominantly the result of increased military and commercial subcontracting business.

We generate revenue primarily from government contracts for which we act as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor and, to a lesser extent, from commercial contracts. Revenue generated from prime government contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3,248,496 compared to $3,813,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $564,600 or 15%. Revenue generated from government subcontracts for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3,459,943 compared to $1,432,662 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $2,027,281 or 142%. Revenue generated from commercial contracts was $1,082,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $226,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $856,105 or 378%.

CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we received approximately $10.7 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $950,000 of government prime contract awards, approximately $6.2 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $3.6 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $1.0 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $225 million in formalized bids outstanding and continue to make bids on contracts on a weekly basis. In addition, we currently have other proposals submitted to multiple prime contractors, for both government and commercial subcontracting opportunities. While we cannot predict the timing of awards, some of these outstanding proposals are so significant in size that any single award could increase our revenue and net income substantially.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,852,599 compared to $1,358,681 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $493,918. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 23.8% compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin percentage was in line with expectations, as we have commenced various long-term programs in 2008 that tend to be less profitable in the early stages and have been shifting our business towards more subcontracting work, which is more price competitive.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,215,634 compared to $923,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $292,142, or 31.6%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in public company fees of approximately $110,000 and an increase in accrued bonus of approximately $110,000, as well as increases in consulting fees and legal and accounting fees.

These increases were offset by a decreases in salaries and travel related expense and a recovery for the settlement of an old account payable.

Income Before Provision for Income Taxes

Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $636,965 compared to $435,189 for the same period last year, an increase of $201,776. This increase was primarily due to the increase in gross profit described above.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, or 34% of pre-tax income, compared to $167,000, or 38% of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The 2008 provision for income taxes is calculated based upon the federal income tax rates, as we do not expect to have a state tax obligation for 2008 because of New York States’ adoption of a ‘‘sales only’’ income allocation method.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, basic net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $419,965, or $0.07 per basic share, compared to $268,189, or $0.05 per basic share, for the same period last year. Diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.07, calculated utilizing 6,181,752 average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.05, calculated utilizing 5,919,262 shares outstanding.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

At March 31, 2008, we had working capital of $30,565,008 compared to $28,716,968 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $1,848,040, or 6.4%.

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 revenues, 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 March 31, 2008, we had a cash balance of $821,926 compared to $338,391 at December 31, 2007. In addition to the increase in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008, our costs and estimated earnings increased by approximately $1,600,000. 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 which will be converted into cash in future periods.

Based on the positive results in the three months ended March 31, 2008, our projected cash expenses and sources of cash, we expect to have positive cash flow during the twelve month period ending March 31, 2009.

Credit Facility

Sovereign Bank

In August 2007, we entered into a two-year, $2.5 million revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank (the ‘‘Sovereign Facility’’), secured by all of our assets. The Sovereign Facility specifies an interest rate equal to the lower of LIBOR plus 2% or Sovereign Bank’s prime rate. The effective rate as of March 31, 2008 was 5.25%. The Sovereign Facility contains financial covenants related to interest coverage, net income and capital expenditures, as defined in the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2008, we had $600,000 outstanding under the Sovereign Facility.

We are currently negotiating with Sovereign Bank to secure additional financing to fund the initial costs related to the previously described long-term contract award from Spirit. We may not be able to obtain additional financing from Sovereign Bank or another financial institution on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.
