Note 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

As discussed in Note 14 on December 23, 2020, the Company and CPI Aerostructures (“CPI”), the buyer of our subsidiary Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”), reached an agreement to settle the working capital dispute without additional litigation. The settlement provided that CPI and AIRI would instruct the escrow agent to release the balance of $ 1,380,684 remaining in the escrow account to CPI. The Company and CPI exchanged mutual releases customary in the circumstances. We originally placed a reserve of $1,770,000 against the $2,000,000 balance held in escrow, the remaining amount of $230,000 was charged to discontinued operations and classified as other expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.
