Item 4.02

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On April 3, 2024, the audit and finance committee (the “Audit and Finance Committee”) of the board of directors of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”), determined, based on the recommendation of management, that the Company’s financial statements which were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) should no longer be relied upon due to errors within Note 11 “Income Taxes” (“Note 11”) to the Company’s deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances at December 31, 2022, which the Company has determined were each previously overstated by $2,603,986 (the “Deferred Tax Error”) as a result of inadequate review, assessment of and reporting of the Company’s temporary differences between book and taxable income. Similarly, management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, for such period should no longer be relied upon. The Company is in the process of remediating the material weakness in internal controls and related disclosure controls and procedures that led to the Deferred Tax Error.

The Company believes there is no material impact to the previously reported net deferred tax asset on its December 31, 2022 balance sheet, and believes there is no material impact to the Company’s previously reported net income, earnings per share or cash flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

On April 1, 2024 the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (the “Form 12b-25”) with the SEC which stated that the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company requires additional time to finalize the calculation of a correction to Note 11. The Company intends to restate its 2022 deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances at December 31, 2022 within Note 11 to its financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K which it expects to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by April 16, 2024.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a schedule of restated 2022 deferred income tax positions adjustments that the Company believes are needed to its previously reported December 31, 2022 deferred tax assets and liability balances which the Company intends to include within Note 11 to its financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

The Audit and Finance Committee and members of the Company’s management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with RSM US LLP.
