NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) . Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2013 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. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by the SEC. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

The Company maintains its cash in two financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1,210,000 of uninsured balances. The Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.

The Company has identified certain immaterial errors in previously issued financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 related to an overstatement of its tax benefit and deferred tax assets in the amount of $661,000. The Company reviewed the accounting errors utilizing SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Effects of Prior Year Misstatements on Current Year Financial Statements” and determined that the impact of the errors to be immaterial to any prior period’s presentation. The accompanying condensed statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects the corrections of the aforementioned immaterial error.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

When adjustments are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company adjusted the estimated total revenue and recorded a loss on its Wing Replacement Program (“WRP”) for the U.S. Air Force’s A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft (“A-10”).

The long term future of the A-10 has been uncertain since March 2014 when the U.S. Department of Defense released its 2015 Budget Request that called for the retirement of the entire A-10 fleet. More recent events have led the Company to conclude that our A-10 WRP will likely not continue to the full 242 aircraft as anticipated at the start of the program. The 2015 Department of Defense Appropriations Act passed by the United States House of Representatives on June 20, 2014 provides no funding for A-10 operations in U. S. Government fiscal year 2015 that commenced October 1, 2014. Further, this bill rescinds funding from the 2014 U. S. Department of Defense Budget that was to have been used for the procurement of additional wings for the A-10. The Company has no information to support a different conclusion.

Because of the probable termination of the Company’s A-10 WRP, the Company has reduced its revenue estimates with respect to this program by approximately 41%. This change in estimate results in an approximate cumulative $44.7 million decrease in revenue from the inception of the program in 2008 through June 30, 2014, all of which was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Also, the uncertainty of the future of the A-10 aircraft has impacted the Company’s ability to achieve normal program cost reductions at suppliers. Accordingly, in addition to the $44.7 million adjustment to revenue, we recorded a $2.6 million adjustment to cost of sales on the A-10 WRP in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

2. stock-based compensation

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

The Company’s net income/(loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes approximately $145,200 and $350,800, 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. No options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 6,772 options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

	2014			2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.45%-1.64	%		0.76	%

Expected volatility		83%-102	%		106	%

Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected option term (years)		5			5

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of September 30, 2014 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:

	Options		Weighted average Exercise Price		Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at beginning of period	461,919		$	9.80
Granted	43,064			14.67
Exercised	(130,000	)		9.00
Outstanding and vested at end of period	374,983		$	10.64		2.31	$	432,747

Options to acquire 36,292 shares of common stock were granted on January 1, 2014 to members of our board of directors as part of their normal compensation. Of the 36,292 options granted on January 1, 2014, 9,075 vested immediately, 9,073 vested on April 1, 2014, 9,073 vested on July 1, 2014 and 9,071 vest on October 1, 2014. Options to acquire 6,772 shares were granted on July 1, 2014 to a new board member as part of the normal compensation. Of the 6,772 options granted on July 1, 2014, 3,386 vested immediately and 3,386 vest on October 1, 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 50,000 stock options were exercised for cash resulting in proceeds to the Company of $447,751. During the same period 80,000 options were exercised, pursuant to provisions of the stock option plan, where the Company received no cash and 57,381 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 80,000 shares issued in the exercise. The 57,381 shares that the Company received were valued at $727,072, the fair market value of the shares on the dates of exercise.

The intrinsic value of all options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $513,000 and $26,300, respectively. No options were exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

3. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument for a cash flow hedge is recorded in the results of operations immediately. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations immediately.

In March 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing 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 these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item. No material ineffectiveness was recognized in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a net deferred loss associated with cash flow hedges of approximately $17,000 and $32,000, respectively, due to the interest rate swap which has been included in Other Liabilities.

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

Fair Value

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

	September 30, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Debt
Short-term borrowings and long-term debt	$	30,855,544	$	30,855,544

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

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $17,388 and $31,992, respectively, was included in Other Liabilities related to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, and $11,388 and $21,115, respectively, net of tax of $6,000 and $10,877, was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which the circumstances requiring the revisions occur. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the effect of such revisions in total estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to the total gross profit to be earned on the contracts of approximately $42,346,000 and $3,600,000, respectively, from that which would have been reported had the revised estimates been used as the basis of recognition of contract profits in prior years. Approximately 95% of the decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is the result of a change in estimate on the Company’s A-10 program, discussed in Note 1.

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

5.	income PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock. Incremental shares of 211,402 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Incremental shares of 163,581 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as the effect of incremental shares would be anti-dilutive due to the loss reported. No incremental shares were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, as the effect of incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. Incremental shares of 341,402 and 245,000 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Incremental shares of 145,517 and 241,919 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 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.

6.	Line of credit

On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Agreement”) with Sovereign Bank, now called Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”), as the sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent and Valley National Bank. The Restated Agreement provides for a revolving credit loan (“Santander Revolving Facility”) commitment of $35 million.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants, as amended, contained in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $28.35 million outstanding under the “Restated Agreement” bearing interest at 3.25%.

The Santander Revolving Facility and term loan under the Restated Agreement are secured by all our assets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). Santander Term Facility was used to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs. Santander Term Facility bears interest at the lower of LIBOR plus 3% or Santander Bank’s prime rate.

Additionally, the Company and Santander Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 4.11% and receives an amount from Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount of a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest fixed rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Facility.

The maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

Twelve months ending September 30,
2015	$	973,793
2016		963,680
2017		541,364
2018		16,027
Thereafter		10,680
	$	2,505,544

In addition to the Santander Term Facility, included in long-term debt are capital leases and notes payable of $180,544, including a current portion of $73,793.

8. Income taxes

Provision for income taxes was $905,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2014. Benefit from income taxes was $12,869,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These benefits result from the Company’s ability to carry back federal and state tax losses to prior periods and recover previously paid taxes. In addition, the Company will be able to carry forward any excess losses that could not be carried back to prior years, to reduce income taxes in future periods. The benefit for both the carry back and net operating loss carry forward are recorded as a component of non-current Deferred Tax Assets. Provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was at the Company’s historic effective tax rate of approximately 31%.

9. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s three largest commercial customers accounted for 26%, 22% and 11% of revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s three largest commercial customers accounted for 27%, 22% and 18% of revenue, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 1.2% and 2%, respectively, of revenue was directly from the U.S. Government. The percentages of revenue for 2014 are computed prior to the change in estimate adjustment to revenue discussed in Note 1.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

At September 30, 2014, 27%, 25%, 13% and 8% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were from four largest commercial customers. At December 31, 2013, 40%, 17%, 16% and 10% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were from the Company’s four largest commercial customers.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, less than 1% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were direct from the U.S. Government.

At September 30, 2014, 33%, 17% and 16% of our accounts receivable were from our three largest commercial customers. At December 31, 2013, 28%, 24% and 20% of accounts receivable were from our three largest commercial customers.

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, 2013 and Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Business Operations

We are a manufacturer of structural aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial and defense markets. Within the global aerostructure supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) or a Tier 2 subcontractor to major Tier 1 manufactures. We also are a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense, primarily the Air Force. In conjunction with our assembly operations, we provide engineering, program management, supply chain management, and Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (“MRO”) services.

Marketing and New Business

From the beginning of the current fiscal year through September 30, 2014, we received approximately $87.8 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $65.1 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $22.7 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $83.1 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.

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

Backlog

We produce custom assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Backlog consists of aggregate values under such contracts and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues on the basis of percentage of completion accounting, and including estimates of future contract price escalation. Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts. Our total backlog as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Backlog (Total)	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Funded	$	141,461,000	$	110,431,000
Unfunded		231,378,000		321,011,000
Total	$	372,839,000	$	431,442,000

Approximately 57% of the total amount of our backlog at September 30, 2014 was attributable to government contracts. Our backlog attributable to government contracts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Backlog	September 30,		December 31,
(Government)	2014		2013
Funded	$	127,961,000	$	82,803,000
Unfunded		85,114,000		165,574,000
Total	$	213,075,000	$	248,377,000

Our backlog attributable to commercial contracts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Backlog	September 30,		December 31,
(Commercial)	2014		2013
Funded	$	13,500,000	$	27,628,000
Unfunded		146,264,000		155,437,000
Total	$	159,764,000	$	183,065,000

Our unfunded backlog is primarily comprised of the long-term contracts that we received from Spirit and NGC during 2008, Honda and Bell during 2011 and Cessna, Sikorsky and Embraer during 2012. These long-term contracts are expected to have yearly orders which will be funded in the future.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

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

When adjustments are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined. For the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, the Company adjusted the estimated total revenue and recorded a loss on its Wing Replacement Program (“WRP”) for the U.S. Air Force’s A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft (“A-10”).

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

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $21,487,677 compared to $20,664,645 for the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenue was $19,619,571 compared to $61,702,530 for the same period last year. The decrease is predominately the result of the change in estimate on the Company’s A-10 Wing Replacement Program with Boeing.

We predominately generate revenue from subcontracts with OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers. Revenue generated from government subcontracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $(7,039,352) compared to $41,469,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The negative revenue generated from government subcontracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was the result of the change in estimate on the Company’s A-10 Wing Replacement Program with Boeing.

Revenue from commercial subcontracts was $25,922,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $19,209,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $6,712,722 or 34.9%. This increase is the result of increased production on our Embraer and Cessna programs.

Revenue generated from prime government contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $736,539 compared to $1,022,968 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $286,429 or 28%.

Inflation historically has not had a material effect on our operations.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $4,471,304 compared to $4,476,127 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $4,823. Gross profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was a loss of $34,000,719 compared to a profit of $13,152,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $47,153,663.

The uncertainty of the future of the A-10 aircraft has impacted the Company’s ability to achieve normal program cost reductions at suppliers. Accordingly, in addition to the $44.7 million adjustment to revenue, we have recorded a $2.6 million adjustment to cost of sales on the A-10 WRP.

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,800,878 compared to $1,508,656 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $292,222, or 19%. This increase was predominately the result of a $149,286 increase in costs relating to the grant of stock options that were expensed for our board of directors. This was the result of us expensing board fees throughout the year, as compared to all being expensed in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, there was an increase of $95,117 in accounting and legal fees and a $70,742 increase in consulting fees which was the result of the separation agreement with our former CEO.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expense were $5,424,581 compared to $4,882,851 for the same period last year, an increase of $571,730 or 11.1%. This increase was predominately the result of a $119,626 increase in salaries, $100,000 of which was the result of the separation payment paid to our former CEO and a $119,322 increase in employee benefits, the result of higher health insurance costs, and a $93,624 increase in computer expenses.

Income/Loss Before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,602,547 compared to $2,772,100 for the same period last year, a decrease of $169,553. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, income/(loss) before provision for income taxes was a loss of $39,795,534 compared to income of $7,777,650 for the same period last year, a decrease of $47,573,184. These decreases are predominately the result in the change in estimate related to the A-10 program discussed above.

Provision for (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $905,000 and benefit from income taxes was $12,869,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The benefit results from the Company’s ability to carry back federal and state tax losses to prior periods and recover previously paid taxes. In addition, the Company will be able to carry forward any excess losses to reduce income taxes in future periods. Provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was at our historic effective tax rate of approximately 31%.

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

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,697,547 or $0.20 per basic share, compared to $1,911,100, or $0.23 per basic share, for the same period last year. Net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was a loss of $26,926,534 or $3.18 per basic share, compared to net income of $5,366,650, or $0.64 per basic share, for the same period last year. Diluted income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.20, calculated utilizing 8,545,889 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was the same as effects of outstanding options would be anti-dilutive.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

At September 30, 2014, we had working capital of $48,719,181 compared to $88,440,083 at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $39,720,902, or 45%. This decrease is attributable to the change in estimate on the A-10 program which resulted in a decrease in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of approximately $47 million.

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. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” on our condensed balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.

Because the POC method of accounting requires us to use estimates in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money, or to raise additional capital, until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

At September 30, 2014, we had a cash balance of $831,057 compared to $2,166,103 at December 31, 2013.

Our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings decreased by approximately $34.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily related to the A-10 program, as previously discussed.

Several of our programs require us to expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units. In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear impairment charges which may be material, for costs that are not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity.

We continue to work to obtain better payment terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternative funding sources.

We believe that our existing resources, together with the availability under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

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

Credit Facilities

Line of Credit

On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Santander Bank (“Restated Agreement”) as the sole arranger, administrative agent, collateral agent and lender and Valley National Bank as lender. The Restated Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $35 million (“Santander Revolving Facility.”) The revolving credit loans under the Restated Agreement mature on December 5, 2016. The Santander Revolving Facility and term loan under the Restated Agreement are secured by all of our assets.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants, as amended, contained in the Credit Agreement. The Company has $28.35 million outstanding under the Santander Revolving Facility.

Term Loan

On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). The Santander Term Facility was to be used by the Company to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs. The Santander Term Loan was continued under the Restated Agreement, and is payable in monthly installments of $75,000, with a final payment of the remaining principal balance on March 9, 2017. The Santander Term Facility bears interest at the lower of LIBOR plus 3% or Santander Bank’s prime rate. The Santander Term Loan is subject to the amended and restated terms and conditions of the Restated Agreement.

In connection with the Santander Term Loan, the Company and Santander Bank entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount at a rate of 4.11% and receives an amount from Santander representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Loan.

Contractual Obligations

For information concerning our contractual obligations, see “Contractual Obligations” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Management does not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with respect to derivative or other financial instruments that would require disclosure under this item.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014 made by management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
