On February 8, 2019, CPI filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, reporting that its previously filed quarterly report for the third quarter of 2018 should no longer be relied upon. Specifically, CPI disclosed that during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s revenue was overstated by $900,000 to $950,000, net income was overstated by $725,000 to $775,000, and as a result, earnings per share were overstated by $0.09 per share for each such period. CPI also disclosed that management determined that the Company had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 and that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
