CPI Aerostructures Announces Financial Statements Can’t Be Relied Upon
On February 8, 2019, CPI Aerostructures (“CPI”) filed a form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which stated that generally accepted accounting principles had not been properly applied to the company’s financial statements in 2018 and 2019, causing them to overstate their revenue and earnings. As a result, its previously filed forms should not be relied upon and required restatement, the company said.
CPI also disclosed that its management had concluded that the company did not have adequate internal control over financial reporting, and that its disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
The news caused CPI’s shares to drop more than 8.5%.
On February 14, 2020, CPI put out a press release stating that its accounting errors meant that its financial statements for fiscal 2018 and 2019 could not be relied upon. That day, CPI’s shares closed down 27%.
The class action alleges that CPI made false and/or misleading statements about its business and “seeks to recover compensable damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws…”

In October, 2018, CPI announced that it had closed an underwritten public offering that raised more than $16 million with 2,760,000 shares offered at $6.25 per share. Cannacord Genuity LLC was the bookrunning manager for the offering and B. Riley FBR was the co-manager.
