We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Form 10-Q/A”) to amend our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A includes restated unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As previously described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 27, 2019, our Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), after considering the recommendation of management, concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included in the Original Filing should no longer be relied upon and would be restated through the filing of this Form 10-Q/A.

As previously disclosed, we identified certain misstatements in our previously filed unaudited interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2019 which required restatement. These misstatements arose as a result of the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP system”) at our Sypris Electronics segment effective January 1, 2019. Due to data entry processing errors following this transition, certain vendor invoices related to raw material inventory receipts in the first quarter of 2019 for the Sypris Electronics segment were incorrectly recorded in the second quarter of 2019. These errors resulted in an understatement of accounts payable and cost of sales of approximately $786,000 as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Promptly upon identifying the error, the Company undertook a review of its systems and processes related to the transition to the new ERP system, as well as a review of certain accounting entries in the first quarter. The Company also corrected other immaterial accounting errors affecting the first quarter of 2019 discovered through this review related to the ERP system transition. To correct all misstatements as reflected in this Form 10-Q/A, the Company recognized an incremental net loss of $731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a result, net loss increased from $2,305,000 as reported in the Original Filing to $3,036,000 and net loss per share increased from $0.11 to $0.15 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash flows from operating activities did not change as a result of the restatement. See Note 3 (Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements) to the Company’s financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q/A for further details.

The information in this Form 10-Q/A not only restates the unaudited consolidated financial statements that were contained in the Original Filing, but also amends other information contained in the Original Filing affected by the corrections described above. Therefore, this Form 10-Q/A should be read together with the Original Filing. Additionally, except for the restatement and related matters, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing and should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Filing. These corrections had no impact on the Company’s Sypris Technologies reportable business segment.

The following items in the Original Filing have been revised in this Form 10-Q/A:

Part I - Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part II - Item 6 of the Original Filing has been amended to include the currently-dated certifications from our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These certifications are included in this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31(i)-1, 31(i)-2, and 32.1.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s operations are domiciled in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico, and we serve a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, misstatements were identified in our previously filed unaudited interim financial statements which required restatement. The misstatements arose as a result of the implementation of a new ERP system at our Sypris Electronics segment effective January 1, 2019. Due to data entry processing errors following this transition to the new ERP system, certain vendor invoices related to raw material inventory receipts in the first quarter of 2019 for the Sypris Electronics segment were incorrectly recorded in the second quarter of 2019. These errors resulted in an understatement of accounts payable and cost of sales of approximately $786,000 as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Promptly upon identifying the error, the Company undertook a review of its systems and processes related to the transition to the new ERP system, as well as a review of certain accounting entries in the first quarter. The Company also corrected other immaterial accounting errors affecting the first quarter of 2019 discovered through this review related to the ERP system transition. To correct all misstatements as reflected in this Form 10-Q/A, the Company recognized incremental net loss of $731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a result, our reported net loss increased from $2,305,000 to $3,036,000 and net loss per share increased from $0.11 to $0.15 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash flows from operating activities did not change as a result of the restatement.

The following tables summarize the effects of the restatement on the specific items presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The new standard was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This standard affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions.

The Company adopted this update beginning on January 1, 2019 using the alternative modified retrospective transition method and will not recast comparative periods in transition to the new standard. In addition, we elected certain practical expedients which permit us to not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, to not reassess the lease classification of any existing leases, to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, and to not separate lease and nonlease components for all classes of underlying assets. We also made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets (ROU) of approximately $7,664,000 and lease liabilities of operating leases of approximately $8,549,000. The implementation decreased the accumulated deficit by $1,442,000, which was driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred gain related to the operating lease portion on a 2016 sale-leaseback directly into the accumulated deficit. There was no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows. See Note 5 for further information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows Topic 230: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing existing differences in the presentation of these items. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-15 became effective for us in the first quarter and were adopted retrospectively. The adoption of this update did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. This guidance introduces a new approach to estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2020, is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02). Under existing U.S. GAAP, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the period in which the law was enacted. When deferred tax balances related to items originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are adjusted, certain tax effects become stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to make additional disclosures, regardless of whether they elect to reclassify stranded amounts of tax effects. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019, and has elected to not reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(5)	Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The Company has entered into operating leases for real estate. These leases have initial terms which range from 10 year to 11 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term by 5 years, and will be included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company’s existing leases do not contain significant restrictive provisions; however, certain leases contain provisions for payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the Company. The lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Some of the real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. All operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest expense is recognized on the lease liability and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term.

Some leases may require variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreements. Variable lease payments for which we are typically responsible for include real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses based on the Company’s pro-rata share, which are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability. Additionally, one of the Company’s real estate lease has lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Incremental payments due to changes in the index are treated as variable lease costs and expensed as incurred.

These operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company’s March 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet, and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are included in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on the Company’s March 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $7,664,000 and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $8,549,000 on January 1, 2019, and included adjustments for any unamortized lease incentives and prepaid and accrued rent. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of March 31, 2019, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $7,532,000 and $8,347,000, respectively.

We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. If readily available, we would use the implicit rate in a new lease to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases, primarily for office equipment with an initial term of twelve months or less. Lease payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred and are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. The related lease expense for short-term leases was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The following table presents information related to lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

(6)	Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised product or rendering a service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product or service (the “transaction price”). The Company’s transaction price in its contracts with customers is generally fixed; no payment discounts, rebates or refunds are included within its contracts. The Company also does not provide service-type warranties nor does it allow customer returns. In connection with the sale of various parts to customers, the Company is subject to typical assurance warranty obligations covering the compliance of the electronics parts produced to agreed-upon specifications (See Note 14). Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a service to a customer and is the unit of account to which the transaction price is allocated under ASC 606. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to the individual performance obligations using the price at which the promised goods or services would be sold to customers on a standalone basis. For most sales within our Sypris Technologies segment and a portion of sales within Sypris Electronics, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. Indicators that control has transferred to the customer include the Company having a present right to payment, the customer obtaining legal title and the customer having the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment.

For contracts where Sypris Electronics serves as a contractor for aerospace and defense companies under federally funded programs, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Because control is transferred over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We use labor hours incurred as a measure of progress for these contracts because it best depicts the Company’s performance of the obligation to the customer, which occurs as we incur labor on our contracts. Under this measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to date to the total estimated labor hours at completion of the performance obligation.

Our contract profit margins may include estimates of revenues for goods or services on which the customer and the Company have not reached final agreements, such as contract changes, settlements of disputed claims, and the final amounts of requested equitable adjustments permitted under the contract. These estimates are based upon management’s best assessment of the totality of the circumstances and are included in our contract profit based upon contractual provisions and our relationships with each customer.

The majority of our arrangements are for one year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable contracts greater than one year we had $13,269,000 of remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2019, all of which were long-term Sypris Electronics’ contracts. We expect to recognize approximately 37% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in the 2019, 50% in 2020 and the balance thereafter.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 (in thousands):

	March 31,		April 1,
	2019		2018
	(Unaudited)

Sypris Technologies – transferred point in time	$	16,141	$	14,507
Sypris Electronics – transferred point in time		682		914
Sypris Electronics – transferred over time		2,741		4,521
Net revenue	$	19,564	$	19,942

Contract Balances

Differences in the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets – Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts where revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and the right to payment is subject to conditions other than the passage of time. Contract assets are generally classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The balance of contract assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $554,000 and $839,000, respectively, and are included within other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities – Some of the Company’s contracts within Sypris Electronics are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring prior to revenue recognition resulting in contract liabilities. Additionally, the Company occasionally receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, contract liabilities were $8,733,000 and $8,369,000, respectively, and are included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are not considered to be significant financing components because they are used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract.

The Company recognized revenue from contract liabilities of $1,344,000 and $727,000 during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Practical expedients and exemptions

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less.

(7)	Strategic Actions

The Company completed a number of strategic actions during the past four years in response to the nonrenewal of supply agreements with certain Tier I automotive customers primarily due to global pricing constraints, the downturn in the commercial vehicle market beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and other market and economic factors impacting the Company. Strategic actions taken included: (i) the Company’s exit from the Broadway Plant (defined below) (see Note 8), (ii) the sale of Sypris Electronics’ SioMetrics, Cyber Range, Information Security Solutions and Data Systems product lines (the “CSS business”) in 2016, (iii) the sale and leaseback of the Company’s facility in Toluca, Mexico in 2016, (iv) the sale of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Morganton, North Carolina in 2015, (v) the capacity reallocation of certain oil and gas industry components to Mexico, (vi) the relocation of its Sypris Electronics operation to a new facility beginning in 2017, and (vii) reductions in employment costs through senior management pay reductions. Using a portion of the proceeds generated from the asset sales noted above, the Company paid off all of its most senior secured debt consisting of a “Term Loan” and “Revolving Credit Facility” in August 2016. During this period, the Company also received the benefit of cash infusions from Gill Family Capital Management, Inc. (“GFCM”) in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6,500,000 in principal, scheduled to mature in part in 2021, 2023 and 2025.

The Company has reduced its reliance on certain of its traditional Tier 1 customers that represent the primary suppliers to the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the commercial vehicle markets, while targeting to replace these customers with more diversified, longer-term relationships, especially among the OEMs and others who place a higher value on the Company’s innovation, flexibility and core commitment to lean manufacturing principles. Among the customer programs not being renewed was a supply agreement with Meritor Inc. (“Meritor”), which expired on January 1, 2017, and the Company’s business with Eaton Corporation (“Eaton”), both of which utilized production at the Company’s Louisville, Kentucky automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturing plant (the “Broadway Plant”). As a result of these decisions, the Company experienced a significant reduction in its commercial vehicle revenues in 2017 (See Note 8). During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a three-year agreement to supply axle shafts, as well as a number of other product lines, to Sistemas Automotrices de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Sistemas”) for periods of up to six years from the commencement of production.

(8)	Exit and Disposal Activities

On February 21, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a modified exit or disposal plan with respect to the Broadway Plant, which included the relocation of production to other Company facilities, as needed, and/or the closure of the plant. The relocation of production was complete as of the end of 2017. The Company has relocated certain assets from the Broadway Plant to other manufacturing facilities, as needed, to serve its existing and target customer base and identified underutilized or non-core assets for disposal. Management expects to apply the proceeds from the sale of any underutilized or non-core assets to help fund the costs to transfer any additional equipment from the Broadway Plant. Management is currently evaluating options for the real estate and any remaining assets in the Broadway Plant.

As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded charges of $98,000, or less than $0.01 per share, and $509,000, or $0.03 per share, during the first three months of 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to the transition of production from the Broadway Plant, which is included in severance, relocation and other costs in the consolidated statement of operations. All amounts incurred were recorded within Sypris Technologies. The charges for the first quarter of 2019 were primarily related to mothball costs associated with the closed facility. The charges for the first quarter of 2018 included $68,000 for equipment relocation costs and $441,000 for other costs.

A summary of the total pre-tax charges is as follows (in thousands):

			Costs Incurred
			Three Months		Total		Remaining
	Total		Ended		Recognized		Costs to be
	Program		March 31, 2019		to date		Recognized
Severance and benefit related costs	$	1,350	$	0	$	1,350	$	0
Asset impairments		188		0		188		0
Equipment relocation costs		1,895		8		1,793		102
Other		1,454		90		1,168		286
	$	4,887	$	98	$	4,499	$	388

The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $388,000 within Sypris Technologies, the majority of which is expected to be cash expenditures.

As noted above, management expects to use proceeds from the sale of underutilized or non-core assets to fund costs incurred on the transfer of equipment from the Broadway Plant. The following assets have been segregated and included in assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	March 31,			December 31,
	2019			2018
	(Unaudited)

Machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures	$	11,207		$	11,207
Accumulated depreciation		(9,733	)		(9,733	)
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,474		$	1,474

(9)	Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of any outstanding stock options and unvested compensation-related shares because the effect of these items on diluted net loss would be anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share is as follows (in thousands):

Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		20,669			20,394

(13)	Segment Data

The Company is organized into two business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions between the products, markets, customers, technologies and workforce skills of the segments. Sypris Technologies manufactures forged and finished steel components and subassemblies, high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. Sypris Electronics is focused on circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work. There was no intersegment net revenue recognized in any of the periods presented.

The following table presents financial information for the reportable segments of the Company (in thousands):

(14)	Commitments and Contingencies

The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $572,000 and $582,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was not material.

The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance programs, a self-insured worker’s compensation program and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued only if the loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to a particular loss contingency, it may be probable that a loss has occurred but the estimate of the loss is within a wide range or undeterminable. If the Company deems an amount within the range to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount will be accrued. However, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued.

The Company has various current and previously-owned facilities subject to a variety of environmental regulations. The Company has received certain indemnifications from either companies previously owning these facilities or from purchasers of those facilities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no amounts were accrued for any environmental matters.

On December 27, 2017, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) filed a lawsuit alleging that the Company had misinterpreted the language of the Company’s 401(k) Plans (collectively, the “Plan”). The DOL does not appear to dispute that the Company reached such interpretation in good faith after consulting with independent ERISA counsel. If the DOL’s allegations were upheld by a court, the Company could be required to make additional contributions into the accounts of its Plan participants. While the Company regards the DOL’s allegations to be without merit, the Company submitted a counteroffer to a proposed settlement offer from the DOL in February 2019 in an amount deemed to be immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. The parties have been unable to reach any mutually acceptable settlement.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company became aware of a lawsuit involving one of Sypris Electronics’ customers and its primary distributor. This customer informed the Company that, as a result of the lawsuit, the customer would no longer operate its business, and that it has transferred this business to a designated successor. The Company holds $746,000 of gross inventory related specifically to this customer as of March 31, 2019. On December 21, 2017, the Company entered into a new supply agreement with the designated successor, which provides for purchases of the aforementioned inventory and additional purchases in excess of our inventories on hand and for prices in excess of our cost. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has recognized revenue of $293,000 under the new supply agreement and has received purchase orders under the new supply agreement, however not all purchase obligations were met as of March 31, 2019. No assurances can be given that the successor customer will be successful or will continue to comply with the terms of the new agreement, which could adversely affect our ability to recoup any or all of our investment in these inventories. Given the uncertainties described above, the Company maintains a reserve of $246,000 on the recoverability of the inventory as of March 31, 2019 and estimates that the range of loss that is reasonably possible should the program with the successor not be successful could increase by an additional $500,000.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $9,831,000, primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing equipment.

(15)	Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for its domestic operations at a statutory rate of 21% in 2019 and 2018 and for its foreign operations at a statutory rate of 30% in 2019 and 2018. Reconciling items between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate also include the expected usage of federal net operating loss carryforwards, state income taxes, valuation allowances and certain other permanent differences.

The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on its current forecast, the Company has established a valuation allowance against the domestic net deferred tax asset. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. and a portion of its non-U.S. tax benefits.

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

We are a diversified provider of truck components, oil and gas pipeline components and aerospace and defense electronics. We offer a wide range of manufactured products, often under multi-year sole-source contracts.

We are organized into two business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. Sypris Technologies, which is comprised of Sypris Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, generates revenue primarily from the sale of forged, machined, welded and heat-treated steel components primarily for the heavy commercial vehicle and high-pressure energy pipeline applications. Sypris Electronics, which is comprised of Sypris Electronics, LLC, generates revenue primarily through circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work.

We focus on those markets where we believe we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry participants that embrace technological innovation and flexibility, coupled with multi-year contractual relationships, as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are sole-source by part number, have historically created opportunities to invest in leading-edge processes or technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity and innovation that can result from such investments helps to differentiate us from our competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.

The Sypris Technologies segment continues to migrate from its historical, concentrated dependence upon the commercial vehicle markets to a more diversified base of customers who place value on our innovation, flexibility and lean manufacturing capabilities. During 2016, the continued strength of the U.S. dollar, the tightening of margins in certain sectors of the commercial vehicle markets and the generally softening of certain key market segments led the Company to reevaluate the strategic importance of each of its customers to the Company’s long-term success. In connection with this reevaluation process, the Company and Meritor determined not to renew their supply agreement for certain of Meritor’s domestic, forged axle shafts beginning in 2017. The Company has also not renewed its business with Eaton. However, the Company continues to supply component parts to Sistemas Automotrices de Mexico, S.A de C.V. (“Sistemas”), Meritor’s joint venture in Mexico, and continues to supply axle shafts to Meritor’s Brazilian subsidiary. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a new three-year agreement to supply axle shafts, as well as a number of other product lines, to Sistemas for periods of up to six years from the commencement of production.

The oil and gas markets, served by our Tube Turns® brand of engineered product lines, have strengthened along with the overall economy, and domestic pipeline projects continue to be active with U.S. domestic gas and oil production increasing in 2018 and the first quarter of 2019.

We are pursuing new business in a wide variety of markets from light automotive to refrigeration valves to new energy related product lines to achieve a more balanced portfolio across our customers, markets and products. We have recently announced new program awards in each of these markets that have contributed to revenue growth for Sypris Technologies in 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. We believe these opportunities provide a solid multi-year foundation for growth and that additional prospective business may result in increased revenue going forward.

In the past few years, we have faced challenges within Sypris Electronics, such as the uncertainty in the worldwide macroeconomic climate and its impact on aerospace and defense spending patterns globally over the last several years, as well as the emergence of new competitors to our manufacturing capabilities.

However, we have recently announced new program awards for Sypris Electronics that contributed to revenue in 2018, with certain programs continuing into 2019. In addition to program awards related to weapons systems, electronic warfare and infrared countermeasures in our traditional aerospace and defense markets, we have also been awarded programs related to the communication and navigation markets which align with our advanced capabilities for delivering products for complex, high cost of failure platforms. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 provides nearly $700 billion in funding for the U.S. Department of Defense, which is expected to support program growth and market expansion for the remainder of 2019 for aerospace and defense participants. We expect to compete for follow-on business opportunities on future builds of several existing programs, as our competitiveness is enhanced by the reduction in our overhead structure following our relocation into a new manufacturing facility at the beginning of 2017.

In the near term, certain electronic component shortages and extensive lead-time issues are prevalent in many of the segments in the electronic manufacturing industry that we serve. This had a negative impact on our segment revenues and gross profit in the first quarter. We are working with our customers to qualify alternative components or suppliers to mitigate the impact on our business. We expect that these issues will be resolved for some component shortages in the next 6 to 9 months, but these and other shortages may persist as a challenge beyond 2019. The majority of our aerospace and defense programs require specific components that are sole-sourced to specific suppliers; therefore, the resolution of supplier constraints requires coordination with our customers or the end-users of the products. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing these shortages and issues.

The Company completed a number of strategic actions during the past three years in response to the nonrenewal of its supply agreement with certain Tier I automotive customers primarily due to global pricing constraints, the downturn in the commercial vehicle market beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and other market and economic factors impacting the Company during this period. Strategic actions taken included: (i) the initiation of the exit of the Broadway Plant (see discussion below), (ii) the sale of the Company’s SioMetrics, Cyber Range, Information Security Solutions and Data Systems product lines (the “CSS business”) in 2016, (iii) the sale and leaseback of the Company’s facility in Toluca, Mexico in 2016, (iv) the sale of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Morganton, North Carolina in 2015, (v) the capacity reallocation of certain oil and gas industry components to Mexico, (vi) the relocation of its Sypris Electronics operation to a new facility, and (vii) reductions in employment costs through senior management pay reductions. Using a portion of the proceeds generated from asset sales noted above, the Company paid off all of its most senior, secured debt consisting of a “Term Loan” and “Revolving Credit Facility” in August 2016. During this period, the Company also received the benefit of cash infusions from Gill Family Capital Management, Inc. (“GFCM”) in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6.5 million in principal, scheduled to mature in part in 2021, 2023 and 2025 (See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q).

The Company has reduced its reliance on certain of its traditional Tier 1 customers that represent the primary suppliers to the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the commercial vehicle markets, while targeting to replace these customers with more diversified, longer-term relationships, especially among the OEMs and others who place a higher value on the Company’s innovation, flexibility and core commitment to lean manufacturing principles. Among the customer programs not being renewed were (i) a supply agreement with Meritor that expired on January 1, 2017 and (ii) the Company’s business with Eaton, both of which utilized production at the Company’s Broadway Plant. As a result of these decisions, the Company experienced a significant reduction in its commercial vehicle revenues in 2017 (See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q).

On February 21, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a modified exit or disposal plan with respect to the Broadway Plant, which was substantially complete as of the end of 2017. The Company has relocated certain assets from the Broadway Plant to other manufacturing facilities as needed to serve its existing and targeted customer base and identified underutilized or non-core assets for disposal. Management expects to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of any underutilized or non-core assets to help fund costs of transferring any additional equipment from the Broadway Plant. Management is currently evaluating options for the real estate and any remaining assets in the Broadway Plant.

Our failure or inability to realize these key financial objectives could materially and adversely impair the Company’s ability to operate, its cash flows, financial condition and ongoing results.

The table below compares our segment and consolidated results for the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. It presents the results for each period, the change in those results from 2018 to 2019 in both dollars and as a percentage, as well as the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended April 1, 2018

Net Revenue. Sypris Technologies primarily derives its revenue from the sale of forged and finished steel components and subassemblies and high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. Net revenue for Sypris Technologies increased 11.3%, or $1.6 million, for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. The net revenue growth for the quarter was primarily attributable to increased sales volume of $1.6 million with customers in the commercial vehicle market. Additionally, price increases on one of our commercial vehicle programs implemented during the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted in an increase of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The growth for the year was partially offset by a decline in energy related product sales of $0.3 million.

Sypris Electronics derives its revenue primarily from circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing and systems assembly and integration. Net revenue for Sypris Electronics decreased $2.0 million to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was primarily affected by shortages of certain electronic components and extensive lead-time issues in the electronic manufacturing industry. The first quarter of 2019 was also impacted by shipments accelerated into the fourth quarter of 2018 as the Company planned for the implementation of a new ERP system effective in January.

Gross Profit. Sypris Technologies’ gross profit increased $0.2 million to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. The net increase in sales volume over the prior period resulted in higher gross profit of $0.2 million. Additionally, gross profit was positively impacted by a price increase on a commercial vehicle program implemented during the fourth quarter of 2018. These increases were partially offset by additional start-up costs on new programs including wage and fringe related costs.

Sypris Electronics’ gross profit decreased $1.3 million to a loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily as a result of lower volumes during the quarter, driving an increase in unabsorbed overhead. Program mix also factored into the decrease, as the Company experienced declines on certain higher margin legacy programs. The lower volumes on the legacy programs were partially offset by a new program which launched during 2018, which is still in the ramp-up phase and the margin performance is lower than what is expected after full run rates are achieved.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of higher employee medical insurance claim expenses during the period as compared to the prior year and consultation costs associated with the Company’s new ERP implementation effective in January.

Severance, Relocation and Other Costs. Severance, relocation and other costs were $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. The charges for the first quarter of 2019 were primarily related to mothball costs associated with the closure of the Broadway plant. The charges for the first quarter of 2018 included $0.1 million in equipment relocation costs and $0.4 million in other costs primarily related to mothball costs associated with the closure of the Broadway plant.

Gill Family Capital Management Note. The Company has received the benefit of cash infusions from GFCM in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6.5 million in principal as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (the “Note”). GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders of the Company. As of March 31, 2019, our principal commitment under the Note was $2.5 million due on April 1, 2021, $2.0 million on April 1, 2023 and the balance on April 1, 2025. The Note allows for up to an 18-month deferral of payment for up to 60% of the interest due on the notes maturing in April of 2021 and 2023, and provide for a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including those in Mexico.

Finance Lease Obligations. On March 9, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its 24-acre Toluca property for 215 million Mexican Pesos, or approximately $12.2 million in U.S. dollars. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a ten-year lease of the 9 acres and buildings currently occupied by the Company and needed for its ongoing business in Toluca. As a result of the Toluca Sale-Leaseback, the Company has a capital lease obligation of $2.6 million for the building as of March 31, 2019.

In January 2018, the Company entered into a capital lease for $1.3 million for new production equipment installed at its Sypris Electronics facility during 2017. The balance of the lease obligation as of March 31, 2019 was $0.6 million.

In February 2019, the Company entered into a capital lease for $0.3 million for new machinery at its Sypris Technologies facility in the U.S. The balance of the lease obligation as of March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million.

Purchase Commitments. We had purchase commitments totaling approximately $9.8 million at March 31, 2019, primarily for inventory and manufacturing equipment.

Cash Balance. At March 31, 2019, we had approximately $5.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $1.2 million was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. that, if repatriated, could result in withholding taxes.

We have projected that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for the next 12 months. Significant changes from our current forecasts, including, but not limited to: (i) meaningful shortfalls in projected revenue or sales proceeds from underutilized or non-core equipment, (ii) unexpected costs or expenses, and/or (iii) operating difficulties which cause unexpected delays in scheduled shipments, could require us to seek additional funding or force us to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $0.6 million used in the same period of 2018. The aggregate decrease in accounts receivable in 2019 resulted in a source of cash of $0.8 million. The investment in inventory in 2019 resulted in a usage of cash of $2.6 million. The increase in inventory primarily relates to the new program revenue growth for Sypris Electronics. A significant portion of the inventory receipts were funded through prepayments from customers of Sypris Electronics in the second half of 2018. Additionally, there was a decrease in accounts payable during the quarter, which resulted in a usage of cash of $1.2 million. Accrued and other liabilities increased during the first quarter of 2019, resulting in a source of cash of $0.4 million, primarily as a result of additional prepayments from customers of Sypris Electronics.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million for capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to neutral for the first quarter of 2018. Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2018 includes proceeds of $0.4 million from the sale of idle assets by Sypris Technologies during the period offset by capital expenditures of $0.4 million.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 and was comprised of capital lease payments of $0.1 million and payments of $0.1 million for minimum statutory tax withholdings on stock-based compensation. Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of 2018 was $0.4 million and was comprised of capital lease payments.

See the information concerning our critical accounting policies included under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with the exception of leases. See Note 5, “Leases,” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

This Form 10-Q/A, and our other oral or written communications, may contain “forward-looking” statements. These statements may include our expectations or projections about the future of our business, industries, business strategies, prospects, potential acquisitions, liquidity, financial condition or financial results and our views about developments beyond our control, including domestic or global economic conditions, government spending, industry trends and market developments. These statements, including those outlined in management’s recovery plan, are based on management’s views and assumptions at the time originally made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these statements, even if, for example, they remain available on our website after those views and assumptions have changed. There can be no assurance that our expectations, projections or views will come to pass, and undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.

A number of significant factors could materially affect our specific business operations and cause our performance to differ materially from any future results projected or implied by our prior statements. Many of these factors are identified in connection with the more specific descriptions contained throughout this report. Other factors which could also materially affect such future results currently include: the quantitative effects of the restatement of our previously issued unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2019; the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures; our failure to achieve targeted gains and cash proceeds from the anticipated sale of certain equipment; our failure to return to profitability on a timely basis by steadily increasing our revenues from profitable contracts with a diversified group of customers, which would cause us to continue to use existing cash resources or other assets to fund operating losses; dependence on, retention or recruitment of key employees; the cost, quality, timeliness, efficiency and yield of our operations and capital investments, including the impact of tariffs, product recalls or related liabilities, employee training, working capital, production schedules, cycle times, scrap rates, injuries, wages, overtime costs, freight or expediting costs; cost, quality and availability of raw materials such as steel, component parts (especially electronic components), natural gas or utilities; inventory valuation risks including excessive or obsolescent valuations or price erosions of raw materials or component parts on hand or other potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of assets or deferred costs; other potential weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting and enterprise risk management; disputes or litigation involving governmental, supplier, customer, employee, creditor, stockholder, product liability or environmental claims; the fees, costs and supply of, or access to, debt, equity capital, or other sources of liquidity; our reliance on a few key customers, third party vendors and sub-suppliers; continued shortages and extensive lead-times for electronic components; breakdowns, relocations or major repairs of machinery and equipment, especially in our Toluca Plant; our failure to successfully complete final contract negotiations with regard to our announced contract “orders”, “wins” or “awards”; volatility of our customers’ forecasts, scheduling demands and production levels which negatively impact our operational capacity and our effectiveness to integrate new customers or suppliers, and in turn cause increases in our inventory and working capital levels; the costs of compliance with our auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations; labor relations; strikes; union negotiations; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs; our inability to patent or otherwise protect our inventions or other intellectual property from potential competitors; adverse impacts of new technologies or other competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our margins; U.S. government spending on products and services that Sypris Electronics provides, including the timing of budgetary decisions; changes in licenses, security clearances, or other legal rights to operate, manage our work force or import and export as needed; risks of foreign operations; currency exchange rates; war, terrorism, or political uncertainty; cyber security threats and disruptions; failure to adequately insure or to identify environmental or other insurable risks; unanticipated or uninsured disasters, losses or business risks; inaccurate data about markets, customers or business conditions; or unknown risks and uncertainties and the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus are not required to provide the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In connection with the Original Filing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019. In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer re-evaluated the conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

As described in the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q/A, the Company identified misstatements in the previously-reported quarter ended March 31, 2019. The misstatements were the result of improperly designed controls around the implementation of a new ERP system at our Sypris Electronics segment effective January 1, 2019. Due to data entry processing errors that were made following this transition to the new ERP system, certain vendor invoices related to raw material inventory receipts in the first quarter of 2019 for the Sypris Electronics segment were incorrectly recorded in the second quarter of 2019. These errors resulted in an understatement of accounts payable and cost of sales as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

In connection with the restatement of Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company identified two material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting that arose from the new ERP system implementation. The two material weaknesses are:

The Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, and management are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. As a result, the Company has been actively engaged in developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weaknesses outlined above. The remediation efforts include the following:

Management believes the foregoing remedial efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses, but the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation efforts described above.

Beginning January 1, 2019, we implemented the updated guidance on lease accounting. In connection with the adoption of this standard, we implemented changes to our disclosure controls, procedures related to lease accounting as well as the associated control activities within.

On January 1, 2019, we implemented an ERP system at Sypris Electronics. The implementation resulted in the two material weaknesses identified above. We believe we have developed an appropriate plan to remediate and have begun our remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses.

Other than the updates and remediation efforts described above, here were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are involved from time to time in litigation and other legal or environmental proceedings incidental to our business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding currently threatened against us.

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I — Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Forward-Looking Statements,” in this Form 10-Q/A, and in Part I — Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes during the fiscal quarter from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K other than with respect to the risk factors discussed below.

Implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system has adversely impacted and could continue to negatively affect our business.

We rely extensively on our information technology (“IT”) systems to assist us in managing our business and summarizing our operational results. On January 1, 2019 we deployed a new ERP system at Sypris Electronics. The new ERP system was implemented to position the Company for long-term growth, further enhance operating efficiencies and provide more effective management of our business operations, including sales order processing, inventory control, purchasing and supply chain management, and financial reporting. Implementing the new ERP system has been costly and has required, and may continue to require, the investment of significant personnel and financial resources. In addition to the risks inherent in the conversion to any new IT system, including the loss of information, disruption to our normal operations, and changes in accounting procedures, the implementation of our new ERP system has resulted in reporting disruptions related to maintaining an effective internal control environment.

Failure to properly or adequately address any issues with our new ERP system could result in increased costs and the diversion of management’s and employees’ attention and resources and could materially adversely affect our operating results, internal control over financial reporting and ability to manage our business effectively. While the ERP system is intended to further improve and enhance our information management systems, the ongoing implementation of this new ERP system exposes us to the risks of integrating that system with our existing systems and processes, including possible continued disruption of our financial reporting.

We have identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated, could result in material misstatements of our financial statements.

We recently identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that pertain to our ERP system conversion that took place on January 1, 2019 involving (1) the ineffective design and implementation of effective controls with respect to the ERP system conversion, and (2) inadequate or ineffective process level and monitoring controls in the area of accounting close and financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Although we have developed and are implementing a plan to remediate these material weaknesses and believe, based on our evaluation to date, that these material weaknesses will be remediated in a timely fashion, we cannot ensure that this will occur within a specific timeframe. These material weaknesses will not be remediated until all necessary internal controls have been implemented, tested and determined to be operating effectively. In addition, we may need to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the planned remediation steps, and we cannot be certain that the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls will be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that the identified material weaknesses will not result in an additional material misstatement of our financial statements. Moreover, we cannot ensure that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties and materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
