Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (“Broadwind Heavy Fabrications”), Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc. (“Brad Foote”) and Broadwind Industrial Solutions, LLC (“Broadwind Industrial Solutions”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020, or any other interim period, which may differ materially due to, among other things, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2019 , as supplemented by the risk factor set forth on our Current Report on Form 8 -K filed April 17, 2020 and the risk factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Quarterly Report, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus (COVID- 19 ) pandemic and its effects on domestic and global economies. To limit the spread of COVID- 19, governments have imposed, and may continue to impose, among other things, travel and business operation restrictions and stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. These disruptions and restrictions have, and may continue in the future to, adversely affect our operating results due to, among other things, reduced demand as a result of our customers having to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. For more information, refer to the statements included in Part I, Item 2, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of this Quarterly Report under the caption “COVID- 19 Pandemic.” The December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . Company Description Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a precision manufacturer of structures, equipment and components for clean technology and other specialized applications. The Company provides technologically advanced high value products to customers with complex systems and stringent quality standards that operate in energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, primarily in the United States of America (the “U.S.”). The Company's capabilities include, but are not limited to the following: heavy fabrications, welding, metal rolling, coatings, gear cutting and shaping, heat treatment, assembly, engineering and packaging solutions. The Company's most significant presence is within the U.S. wind energy industry, which accounted for 72% of the Company's revenue during the first nine months of 2020 . Liquidity The Company meets its short term liquidity needs through cash generated from operations, its available cash balances, the Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment financing, and access to the public or private debt and equity markets and has the option to raise capital under the Company's Form S- 3 (as discussed below). See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete description of the Credit Facility and the Company's other debt. Total debt and finance lease obligations at September 30, 2020 totaled $20,703, which includes current outstanding debt and finance leases totaling $9,350. The current outstanding debt includes $7,649 outstanding under the Company's revolving line of credit. On August 18, 2020, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S- 3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2020 ( the “Form S- 3” ) and expires on October 12, 2023. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows the Company at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, the Company would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes. The Company's registration statement on Form S- 3 filed on August 11, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 10, 2017 expired on October 10, 2020. On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agent shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share with an aggregate sales price of up to $10,000. The Company will pay a commission to the Agent of 3% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the shares sold under the ATM Agreement and reimburse the Agent for the expenses of its counsel. The Company did not issue any shares of its common stock under the ATM Agreement in 2019. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company reinstated the ATM Agreement and issued 91,481 shares of the Company's common stock thereunder. The net proceeds (before upfront costs) to the Company from the sale of such shares were approximately $321 after deducting commissions paid of approximately $10. The ATM Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms on October 12, 2020. In April 2020, the Company received $9,530 in funds under the U.S. Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and made repayments of $379 on May 13, 2020. Refer to Note 7, “Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for more information, including information regarding potential forgiveness of the PPP Loans. The Company anticipates that current cash resources (which includes proceeds from the PPP Loans), amounts available under the Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S- 3 will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. If assumptions regarding the Company's production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company's large customers, as well as customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management's expectations, particularly in light of the COVID- 19 pandemic and its effects on domestic and global economies, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. If the Company's operational performance deteriorates significantly, it may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could lose access to the Credit Facility. This could limit the Company's operational flexibility, require a delay in making planned investments and/or require the Company to seek additional equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to stockholders, and additional debt financing, if available, would likely require new financial covenants or impose other restrictions on the Company. While the Company believes that it will continue to have sufficient cash available to operate its businesses and to meet its financial obligations and debt covenants, there can be no assurances that its operations will generate sufficient cash, or that credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to meet these financial obligations. Management's Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and health insurance reserves. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates, particularly in light of the COVID- 19 pandemic.

Refer to Note

“Debt and Credit Agreements,” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for more information, including information regarding potential forgiveness of the PPP Loans.

The Company anticipates that current cash resources (which includes proceeds from the PPP Loans), amounts available under the Credit Facility, cash to be generated from operations and any potential proceeds from the sale of further Company securities under the Form S-

will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for at least the next

twelve

months.

If assumptions regarding the Company's production, sales and subsequent collections from certain of the Company's large customers, as well as customer deposits and revenues generated from new customer orders, are materially inconsistent with management's expectations, particularly in light of the COVID-

pandemic and its effects on domestic and global economies, the Company

Management's Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates, among others, include revenue recognition, future cash flows, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and health insurance reserves. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company

may

undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates, particularly in light of the COVID-
