Industry backgroundBackground

The production and use in the United States of refrigerants containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (“HCFC”), the most commonly used refrigerants, and chlorofluorocarbons (“CFC") are subject to extensive and changing regulation under the Clean Air Act, as amended (the “Act”). The Act, which was amended in 1990 in response to evidence linking damage to the earth’s ozone layer to the use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, prohibits any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances used as refrigerants. That prohibition of venting and releasing also applies to substitute, non-ozone depleting refrigerants, such as HydrofluorocarbonHydrofluorocarbons (“HFC”). The Act also requires the recovery of all refrigerants used in residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and effective January 1, 1996, prohibited production of virgin (new) CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin (new) HCFC refrigerants. Effective January 2004, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, and federal regulations were enacted which establishestablished production and consumption allocations for HCFC refrigerants and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Additionally, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule have been vacated and in July 2011 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) recast production and consumption allocations for the 2011 year. In January 2012, a proposed rule was issued by the EPA to address production and consumption allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years. A final rule to address production and consumption allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years has not yet been issued by the EPA. See“Recent Developments.”Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020, and production of all HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. Under the Act, owners, operators and companies servicing cooling equipment are responsible for the integrity of the systems, regardless of the refrigerant being used, and for the responsible management of refrigerant.

HFC refrigerants are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants in certain applications. As a result of the increasing restrictions and limitations on the production and use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry have been replacing or modifying equipment that utilize CFC and HCFC refrigerants and have been transitioning to equipment that utilizesutilize HFC refrigerants.refrigerants and a certain type of HFC’s known as hydrofluoro-olefins (“HFO”). HFC refrigerants are not ozone depleting chemicals and are not currently regulated under the Act. However, certain HFC refrigerants are highly weighted greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming and climate change and, as a result, are now subject to various state and federal regulations relating to the sale, use and emissions of HFC refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, would impose limitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants. The Company expects that HFC refrigerants eventually will be replaced by HFOs or other types of products with low global warming potentials.

The Act, and the federal regulations enacted under authority of the Act, have mandated and/or promoted responsible use practices in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry, which are intended to minimize the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere and encourage the recovery and re-use of refrigerants. In addition to prohibiting the venting of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, and prohibiting and/or phasing down the production of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, the Act mandates the recovery of these refrigerants and also promotes and encourages re-use and reclamation of CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Since January 1996, when virgin CFC production became prohibited, nearly the entire service demand for CFC refrigerants in existing equipment has been met through the recovery and the reclamation of used CFC refrigerants by the EPA certified reclaimers. In addition, in December 2009, the EPA issued regulations that were effective January 2010 and which limited the total pounds of virgin HCFC refrigerants that can be produced and imported to levels which, based upon the EPA’s estimates, would require as much as 20% of the service demand for existing equipment to be met by reclaimed or recycled HCFC refrigerants, with that percentage increasing through 2014.refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the December 2009 regulations have been vacated, and in January 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to address allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years. SeeSee “Recent Developments.”

Products and Services

From its inception, the Company has sold refrigerants, and has provided refrigerant reclamation and management services that are designed to recover and reuse refrigerants, thereby protecting the environment from release to the atmosphere and the corresponding ozone depletion. The reclamation process allows the refrigerant to be re-used thereby eliminating the need to destroy or manufacture additional refrigerant and eliminating the corresponding impact to the environment associated with the destruction and manufacturing. The Company believes it is the largest refrigerant reclaimer in the United States. Additionally, the Company has created alternative solutions to reactive and preventative maintenance procedures that are performed on commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. These services, known as RefrigerantSide® Services, complimentcomplement the Company’s refrigerant sales and refrigerant reclamation and management services. The Company has also developed Performance Optimization services that identify inefficiencies in the operation of air conditioning and refrigeration systems and assists companies to improve the efficiency of their systems and save energy. In addition, the Company is pursuing potential opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions. SeeSee “Carbon Offset Projects”.

Refrigerant Sales

The Company sells reclaimed and virgin (new) refrigerants to a variety of customers in various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. The Company continues to sell reclaimed CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Virgin, non-CFC refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, are purchased by the Company from several suppliers and resold by the Company, typically at wholesale. Additionally, the Company regularly purchases used or contaminated refrigerants, some of which are CFC based, from many different sources, which refrigerants are then reclaimed using the Company's high speed proprietary reclamation equipment, its patented Zugibeast® system, and then are resold by the Company.

Refrigerant Management Services

The Company provides a complete offering of refrigerant management services, which primarily include reclamation of refrigerants, laboratory testing through the Company’s laboratory, which has been certified by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (“AHRI”), formerly the Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Institute, (“ARI”), and banking (storage) services tailored to individual customer requirements. Hudson also separates “crossed” (i.e. commingled) refrigerants and provides re-usable cylinder repairrefurbishment and hydrostatic testing services.

RefrigerantSide® Services

The Company provides decontamination and recovery services that are performed at a customer's site through the use of portable, high volume, high-speed proprietary equipment, including the patented Zugibeast® system. Certain of these RefrigerantSide® Services, which encompass system decontamination, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation are also proprietary and are covered by process patents.

In addition to the decontamination and recovery services previously described, the Company also provides predictive and diagnostic services for its customers. The Company offers diagnostic services that are intended to predict potential problems in air conditioning and refrigeration systems before they occur. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering integrates several fluid tests of an operating system and the corresponding laboratory results into an engineering report providing its customers with an understanding of the current condition of the fluids, the cause for any abnormal findings and the potential consequences if the abnormal findings are not remediated. Fluid Chemistry®, an abbreviated version of the Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering, is designed to quickly identify systems that require further examination.

The Company also delivers energy services offerings (“Energy Services”) to large industrial and commercial companies both in the United States and internationally. A large portion of its Energy Services business involves the performance of “investment grade” Energy Savings Assessments (“ESAs”) for process and utility systems including steam, refrigeration and process cooling, process heating, waste heat recovery, and combined heat and power systems. These assessments can identify significant energy and cost savings projects for customers that lead to a direct reduction in carbon dioxide (“CO₂”) emissions from the site or from the power plants. The Company’s Energy Services division is staffed by engineers that are recognized as Energy Experts and Qualified Best Practices Specialists by the USUnited States Department of Energy (“DOE”) in the areas of Steam and Process Heating under the DOE “Best Practices” program, and are the Lead International Energy Experts for steam systems for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. The Company’s staff have trained more than 2,000 industrial plant personnel in the US and internationally, and have developed and are currently delivering training curriculums in 10 different countries.

The Company has also been awarded several US patents for its Performance Monitoring & Optimization System (“PMOS”), which is a system for measuring, modifying and improving the efficiency of energy systems, including air conditioning and refrigeration systems, in industrial and commercial applications. The Company’s PMOS is able to identify specific inefficiencies in the operation of refrigeration systems and, when used with Hudson’s RefrigerantSide^® Services, can increase the efficiency of the operating systems thereby reducing energy usage and costs. Improving the system efficiency reduces power consumption thereby directly reducing CO₂ emissions at the power plants or onsite. In addition, the Company’s ChillSmart^® offering, which combines the PMOS methodology with the Company’s Chiller Chemistry^® offering, provides a snapshot of a packaged Chiller’schiller’s operating efficiency and health. ChillSmart® provides a very effective predictive maintenance tool and helps our customers to identify the operating chillers that cause higher operating costs. Recently, the Company acquired proprietary EffTrack™ chiller efficiency software to complement the Company’s ChillSmart® offering and to enable customers to monitor and improve chiller performance and proactively identify and correct system inefficiencies.

Carbon Offset Projects

CFC refrigerants are ozone depleting substances and are also highly-weightedhighly weighted greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and climate change. The destruction of CFC refrigerants may be eligible for verified emission reductions that can be converted and monetized into carbon offset credits that may be traded in the emerging carbon offset markets. The Company is pursuing opportunities to acquire CFC refrigerants and is developing relationships within the emerging environmental markets in order to develop opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions from the destruction of CFC refrigerants.

Hudson's Network

Hudson operates from a network of facilities located in:

Strategic Alliances

The Company believes that the international market for refrigerant reclamation, sales and services is equal in size to the United States market for those sales and services. Over time, the Company expects to introduce its technology and offerings to several geographies around the world.

In January 2010, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with EOS Climate, Inc. (“EOS”), which is a provider of technology and services related to the destruction or mitigation of ozone-depleting substances in order to generate verified emissions reductions for sale in emerging carbon offset markets. Under the agreement, the Company and EOS have established an exclusive relationship pursuant to which the Company will supply certain CFC refrigerants to EOS, and EOS will utilize the Company to perform reclamation and recovery services for emissions reduction projects and the parties will share any revenues generated from the monetization of verified emissions reductions. The agreement is worldwide in scope and provides for the granting of licenses by the Company to EOS to utilize the Company’s equipment and technology in other countries in connection with emissions reductions projects. To date, the Company’s revenues generated by the agreement have not been material to the Company’s financial performance.

In July 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Safety Hi-Tech S.r.l (“SHT”) and with the principals of Banini-Binotti Associates (“BB”). The joint venture has created a new entity knowknown as Hudson Technologies Europe, S.r.l. (“HTE”). The Company and SHT each own 40% of HTE with BB owning the remaining 20%. HTE’s purpose is to develop a business that provides for refrigerant reclamation, RefrigerantSide® services and energy optimization services throughout most of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. As of December 31, 2011,2012, the joint venture has not begun limited operations. The Company intends to, over time, have each of its offerings that are available in the US made available in each of these geographies through the operations of HTE.

In August 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with SHT. The joint venture has created a new entity known as Safety Hi-Tech USA, LLC (“USA”). The Company and SHT each own 50% of USA. USA’s purpose is to develop a business that provides fire suppression and suppressants throughout North America and Mexico. As of December 31, 2012, the joint venture has not started operations.

Suppliers

The Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company's refrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. Effective January 1, 1996, the Act limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federal regulations enacted in January 2004 alsoestablished production and consumption allowances for HCFCs and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. In addition, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations on the use, production and importation of virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule were vacated and the EPA has issued a proposed rule for future reductions. See “Recent Developments”. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020 and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. The limitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in the price of virgin HCFC refrigerants.

Customers

The Company provides its services to commercial, industrial and governmental customers, as well as to refrigerant wholesalers, distributors, contractors and to refrigeration equipment manufacturers. Agreements with larger customers generally provide for standardized pricing for specified services.

For the yearsyear ended December 31, 20112012, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, 2010,in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 28% of the Company’s revenue. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers. For the year ending December 31, 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more than 10% of the Company’s revenues.

Marketing

Marketing programs are conducted through the efforts of the Company's executive officers, Company sales personnel, and third parties. Hudson employs various marketing methods, including direct mailings, technical bulletins, in-person solicitation, print advertising, response to quotation requests and the internet through the Company’s website (www.hudsontech.com)(www.hudsontech.com). Information in the Company's website is not part of this report.

The Company's sales personnel are compensated on a combination of a base salary and commission. The Company's executive officers devote significant time and effort to customer relationships.

Competition

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the performance of its proprietary high volume, high-speed equipment used in its operations, the breadth of services offered by the Company, including proprietary RefrigerantSide® Services and other on-site services, and price, particularly with respect to refrigerant sales.

The Company competes with numerous regional and national companies that market reclaimed and virgin refrigerants and provide refrigerant reclamation services. Certain of these competitors possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources for the sale and distribution of refrigerants than the Company and, in some instances, serve a more extensive geographic area than the Company.

Hudson's RefrigerantSide® Services provide new and innovative solutions to certain problems within the refrigeration industry and, as such, the demand and market acceptance for these services are subject to uncertainty. Competition for these services primarily consists of traditional methods of solving the industry's problems. The Company’s marketing strategy is to educate the marketplace that its alternative solutions are available and that RefrigerantSide® Services are superior to traditional methods. The market acceptance for these services is subject to uncertainty.

Insurance

The Company carries insurance coverage that it considers sufficient to protect the Company's assets and operations. The Company currently maintains general commercial liability insurance and excess liability coverage for claims up to $7,000,000$11,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000$12,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company attempts to operate in a professional and prudent manner and to reduce potential liability risks through specific risk management efforts, including ongoing employee training.

The refrigerant industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. The Company, and in certain instances, its officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from the Company's on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardous substances or materials. The Company may be held strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether it exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations.

Hudson maintains environmental impairment insurance of $7,000,000$10,000,000 per occurrence, and $8,000,000$10,000,000 annual aggregate, for events occurring subsequent to November 1996.

Government Regulation

The business of refrigerant sales, reclamation and management is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the United States Department of Transportation.Transportation (“DOT”).

Among other things, these regulatory authorities impose requirements which regulate the handling, packaging, labeling, transportation and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and the health and safety of workers, and require the Company and, in certain instances, its employees, to obtain and maintain licenses in connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company.

Hudson and its customers are subject to the requirements of the Act, and the regulations promulgated there underthereunder by the EPA, which make it unlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances, and non-ozone depleting substitutes, used as refrigerants.

Pursuant to the Act, reclaimed refrigerant must satisfy the same purity standards as newly manufactured, virgin refrigerants in accordance with standards established by ARIAHRI prior to resale to a person other than the owner of the equipment from which it was recovered. The EPA administers a certification program pursuant to which applicants certify to reclaim refrigerants in compliance with ARIAHRI standards. The Company is one of only three certified refrigerant testing laboratories under ARI’sAHRI’s laboratory certification program, which is a voluntary program that certifies the ability of a laboratory to test refrigerant in accordance with the ARIAHRI 700 standard.

In addition, the EPA has established a mandatory certification program for air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. Hudson's technicians have applied for or obtained such certification.

The Company may also be subject to regulations adopted by the EPA which impose certain reporting requirements arising out of the importation of certain HCFCs, and arising out of the purchase, production, use and/or emissions of certain greenhouse gases, including HFC’s.HFCs.

The Company is also subject to regulations adopted by the United States Department of TransportationDOT which classify most refrigerants handled by the Company as hazardous materials or substances and imposes requirements for handling, packaging, labeling and transporting refrigerants and which regulate the use and operation of the Company’s commercial motor vehicles used in the Company’s business.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), requires facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes to comply with certain operating standards. Before transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes off-site, generators of such waste must package and label their shipments consistent with detailed regulations and prepare a manifest identifying the material and stating its destination. The transporter must deliver the hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest to a facility with an appropriate RCRA permit. Under RCRA, impurities removed from refrigerants consisting of oils mixed with water and other contaminants are not presumed to be hazardous waste.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, as amended requires the annual reporting by the Company of Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventories (Tier II reports) to the various states in which the Company operates and requires the Company to file annual Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms with the EPA.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), establishes liability for clean-up costs and environmental damages to current and former facility owners and operators, as well as persons who transport or arrange for transportation of hazardous substances. Almost all states have similar statutes regulating the handling and storage of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes. Many such statutes impose requirements that are more stringent than their federal counterparts. The Company could be subject to substantial liability under these statutes to private parties and government entities, in some instances without any fault, for fines, remediation costs and environmental damage, as a result of the mishandling, release, or existence of any hazardous substances at any of its facilities.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended mandates requirements for a safe work place for employees and special procedures and measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. State laws, in certain circumstances, mandate additional measures for facilities handling specified materials.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with all material regulations relating to its material business operations.

Quality Assurance & Environmental Compliance

The Company utilizes in-house quality and regulatory compliance control procedures. Hudson maintains its own analytical testing laboratory, which is ARIAHRI certified, to assure that reclaimed refrigerants comply with ARIAHRI purity standards and employs portable testing equipment when performing on-site services to verify certain quality specifications. The Company employs five persons engaged full-time in quality control and to monitor the Company's operations for regulatory compliance.

Employees

The Company has 8692 full and 2 part time employees including air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, chemists, engineers, sales and administrative personnel.

None of the Company's employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

Patents and Proprietary Information

The Company holds a United States patent and eightseventeen foreign patents covering seventeen foreign countries and has patent applications pending in two other foreign countries, all relating to the high-speed equipment, components and process to reclaim refrigerants. The Company also holds a registered trademark for its Zugibeast®. The United States patent expiredwill expire in January 2012May 2014 and the foreign patents will expire between May 2014 and December 2014. The Company also holds several U.S. and foreign patents related to certain RefrigerantSide® Services and supporting systems developed by the Company as well as for certain systems and processes to measurefor measuring and improveimproving the efficiency of refrigeration systems.systems, and for certain refrigerant recycling and reclamation technologies. These patents will expire between February 2017 and December 2020.April 2032.

The Company believes that patent protection is important to its business. There can be no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection that patents may afford the Company, that any patent applications will result in issued patents or that patents will not be circumvented or invalidated. Technological development in the refrigerant industry may result in extensive patent filings and a rapid rate of issuance of new patents. Although the Company believes that its existing patents and the Company's equipment do not and will not infringe upon existing patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that the Company's existing patent rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents or violations of proprietary rights of others may occur. In the event the Company's equipment or processes infringe, or are alleged to infringe, patents or other proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its equipment or processes, obtain a license or defend a possible patent infringement action. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action or that the Company will not become liable for damages.

The Company also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, and employs various methods to protect its technology. However, such methods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how, concepts, ideas and documentation. Failure to protect its trade secrets could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Recent Developments

In January 2012, the EPA published a proposed rule by which the EPA has proposed to further reduce the production of HCFC refrigerants when compared to the reductions established in the January 1, 2010 published rule. The reductions proposed by the EPA in the proposed rule range from 11 to 47 percent from the levels established in the prior rule for the calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014.2014 (the “Period”). To the extent that there is no final rule for the Period, the industry is operating under the direction of “No Action Assurance Letters” issued by the Enforcement Division of the EPA. For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, the EPA has allowed virgin production or importation of 55 and 39 million pounds, respectively, of HCFC 22. The proposedCompany believes it is likely that the final rule, is not final, and pending issuancewhich the Company expects to be issued in 2013, will allow for the production or importation of at least 45 million pounds of HCFC 22 for 2013. Once a final rule is released, the EPA has provided no action assurance letters to those entities that hold production and consumption allowancesactual number of pounds will be known for the right to import or produce HCFC refrigerants, which allow the allocation holders to import or produce up to an amount that equals 55% of the amount each allocation holder could import or produce in 2011.entire Period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many important factors, including those discussed below (and above as described under “Patents and Proprietary Information”), that have affected, and in the future could affect Hudson’s business including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with the other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond Hudson’s control and future trends are difficult to predict.

Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition.

Our existing credit facility, which currently expires in June 2012,2015, is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains formulas that limit the amount of our borrowings under the facility. Moreover, the terms of our credit facility also include negative covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In June 2009 and April 2010 we obtained waivers from our lender for violations of one of its loan covenants. If we violate any of these loan covenants and do not obtain a waiver from our lender, our indebtedness under the credit facility would become immediately due and payable, and the lender could foreclose on its security, which could materially adversely affect our business and future financial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations.

We may need additional financing to satisfy our future capital requirements, which may not be readily available to us.

Our capital requirements have been and may be significant in the future. In the future, we may incur additional expenses in the development and implementation of our operations. Due to fluctuations in the price, demand and availability of new refrigerants, our existing credit facility that expires in June 20122015 may not in the future be sufficient to provide all of the capital that we need to acquire and manage our inventories of new refrigerant. As a result, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to develop our RefrigerantSide® Services business our refrigerant sales business and our other businesses. We have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing other than our existing credit facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew this credit facility or obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our inability to obtain financing, if and when needed, could materially adversely affect our business and future financial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations.

Adverse weather or economic downturn could adversely impact our financial results

Our business could be negatively impacted by adverse weather or economic downturns. Weather is a significant factor in determining market demand for the refrigerants sold by us, and to a lesser extent, our RefrigerantSide® Services. Unusually cooler temperatures in the spring and summer in the markets served by us, tendstend to depress demand for, and price of, refrigerants we sell. Protracted periods of cooler than normal spring and summer weather could result in a substantial reduction in our sales which could adversely affect our financial position as well as our results of operations. An economic downturn could cause customers to postpone or cancel purchases of the Company’s products or services. Either or both of these conditions could have severe negative implications to our business that may exacerbate many of the risk factors we identified in this report but not limited, to the following:

Liquidity

These conditions could reduce our liquidity and this could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Demand

These conditions could lower the demand and/or price for our product and services, which would have a negative impact on our results of operation.

The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability.

The refrigerant recovery and reclamation industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. We, and in certain instances, our officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from our on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardous substances or materials. We may be strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether we exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations. Our current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential claims, and adequate levels of insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost. A partially or completely uninsured claim against us, if successful and of sufficient magnitude would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our business and financial condition is substantially dependent on the sale and continued environmental regulation of refrigerants.

Our business and prospects are largely dependent upon continued regulation of the use and disposition of refrigerants. Changes in government regulations relating to the emission of refrigerants into the atmosphere could have a material adverse effect on us. Failure by government authorities to otherwise continue to enforce existing regulations or significant relaxation of regulatory requirements could also adversely affect demand for our services and products.

Our business is subject to significant regulatory compliance burdens.

The refrigerant reclamation and management business is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational SafetyOSHA and Health Administration and the United States Department of Transportation.DOT. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all material regulations relating to our material business operations, amendments to existing statutes and regulations or adoption of new statutes and regulations which affect the marketing and sale of refrigerant could require us to continually alter our methods of operation and/or discontinue the sale of certain of our products resulting in costs to us that could be substantial. We may not be able, for financial or other reasons, to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements, particularly as we seek to enter into new geographic markets. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or permit requirements could subject us to civil remedies, including substantial fines, penalties and injunctions, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which would, if of significant magnitude, materially adversely impact our operations and future financial condition.

As a result of competition, and the strength of some of our competitors in the market, we may not be able to compete effectively.

The markets for our services and products are highly competitive. We compete with numerous regional and national companies which provide refrigerant recovery and reclamation services, as well as companies which market and deal in new and reclaimed alternative refrigerants, including certain of our suppliers, some of which possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources than us. We also compete with numerous manufacturers of refrigerant recovery and reclamation equipment. Certain of these competitors have established reputations for success in the service of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. We may not be able to compete successfully, particularly as we seek to enter into new markets.

A number of factors could negatively impact the price and/or availability of refrigerants, which would, in turn, adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Refrigerant sales continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Therefore, our business is substantially dependent on the availability of both new and used refrigerants in large quantities, which may be affected by several factors including, without limitations; (i) commercial production and consumption limitations imposed by the Act and legislative limitations and ban on HCFC refrigerants; (ii) the ban on production of CFC based refrigerants under the Act; (iii) the proposed legislation which, if enacted, could impose limitations on production and consumption of HFC refrigerants; (iv) introduction of new refrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment; (v) price competition resulting from additional market entrants; (vi) changes in government regulation on the use and production of refrigerants; and (vii) reduction in demand for refrigerants. We do not maintain firm agreements with any of our suppliers of refrigerants and we do not hold allowances permitting us to purchase and import HCFC refrigerants abroad. Sufficient amounts of new and/or used refrigerants may not be available to us in the future, particularly as a result of the further phase down of HCFC production, or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Additionally, we may be subject to price fluctuations, periodic delays or shortages of new and/or used refrigerants. Our failure to obtain and resell sufficient quantities of virgin refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or to obtain, reclaim and resell sufficient quantities of used refrigerants would have a material adverse effect on our operating margins and results of operations.

Issues relating to potential global warming and climate change could have an impact on our business.

Refrigerants are considered to be strong greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming and climate change and are now subject to various state and federal regulations relating to the sale, use and emissions of refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, would impose limitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants and current and future global warming and climate change or related legislation and/or regulations, may impose additional compliance burdens on us and on our customers and suppliers which could potentially result in increase administrative costs, decreased demand in the marketplace for our products, and/or increased costs for our supplies and products.

The loss of key management personnel would adversely impact our business.

Our success is largely dependent upon the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The loss of his services would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

We have the ability to designate and issue preferred stock, which may have rights, preferences and privileges greater than Hudson’s common stock and which could impede a subsequent change in control of us.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these shares, without further shareholder approval. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any additional preferred stock that may be issued by us in the future. Our ability to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of itsour voting stock, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.

If our common stock were delisted from NASDAQ it would be subject to “penny stock” rules which could negatively impact its liquidity and our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must comply with numerous NASDAQ MarketPlace rules in order to continue the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the rules required to maintain the NASDAQ listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on NASDAQ, the market liquidity of our common stock may be severely limited.

Our management effectively controls our affairs.

Currently, our officers and directors collectively own approximately 31%28% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, our officers and directors are in a position to significantly effect, and potentially fully control us and the election of our directors. There is no provision for cumulative voting for our directors.

We may fail to successfully integrate any acquisitions made by us into our operations.

As part of our business strategy, we may look for opportunities to grow by acquiring other product lines, technologies or facilities that complement or expand our existing business. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable terms. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems or management personnel we may acquire into our operations and we may not be able to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquisition we do make.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant (the “1999 Release”), at its former leased facility in Hillburn, NY (the “Hillburn Facility”), which the Company vacated in June 2006. A failed hose connection to one of the Company's outdoor storage tanks allowed liquid R-11 refrigerant (“R-11”) to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which the subject tank was located.

Between April 1999 and May 1999, with the approval of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”), the Company constructed and put into operation a remediation system to remove R-11 levels in the groundwater under and around the Hillburn Facility.

In September 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC, which was amended in May 2001, whereby the Company agreed to operate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at the Hillburn Facility until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated. In July 2005, the DEC approved a modification of the Order on Consent to reduce the frequency of testing from monthly to quarterly. The Company is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to the approved modifications to that Order on Consent. In December 2012, the Company met with representatives of the DEC and has proposed further modifications to the Order of Consent to further reduce the frequency and scope of testing, and expects to finalize these modifications during the first half of 2013. Based upon the Company’s recent discussions with the DEC, as of December 31, 2011,2012, the Company has accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur in connection with its compliance with the Order onof Consent through December 31, 2013.2017. There can be no assurance that additional testing will not be required or that the Company will not incur additional costs and such costs in excess of the Company’s estimate may have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2000, the Hillburn Facility, as a result of the 1999 Release, was nominated by the EPA for listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) pursuant to CERCLA. The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. In September 2003, the EPA advised the Company that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing of the Hillburn Facility on the NPL and that the EPA will not withdraw the proposal for listing on the NPL.

The Company has exhausted all insurance proceeds available for the 1999 Release under all applicable policies.

During the years ended December 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, the Company incurred $86,000$102,000 and $72,000,$86,000, respectively, in additional remediation costs in connection with the matters above. There can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of the 1999 Release will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the EPA will not change its current plans and seek to finalize the process of listing the Hillburn Facility on the NPL, or that the ultimate outcome of such a listing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) and commitments and contingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company’s valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future. The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.

Overview

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. The Company’s refrigerant sales are primarily HCFC and HFC based refrigerants and to a lesser extent CFC based refrigerants that are no longer manufactured.

Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerants purchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future or to the extent that the Company does not renew or replace the Facility when it expires would adversely affect the Company's future capital needs. There can be no assurancesassurance that the Company's proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, which capital may not be available.

Inflation

Inflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's operations.

Reliance on Suppliers and Customers

The Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company's refrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. Effective January 1, 1996, the Act limits the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federal regulations enacted in January 2004 established production and consumption allowances for HCFCs and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Additionally,In addition, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations and a phase down on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule have been vacated and in July 2011 the EPA recast production and consumption allocationsallowances for the 2011 year. In January 2012, the EPA published a proposed rule was issuedby which the EPA has proposed to further reduce the production of HCFC refrigerants when compared to the reductions established in the January 1, 2010 published rule. The reductions proposed by the EPA in the proposed rule range from 11 to address production and consumption allocations47 percent from the levels established in the prior rule, for thecalendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014 years.Under(the “Period”). To the Act, productionextent that there is no final rule for the Period, the industry is operating under the direction of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out“No Action Assurance Letters” issued by the Enforcement Division of the EPA. For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, the EPA has allowed virgin production or importation of 55 and 39 million pounds, respectively, of HCFC22. It is expected that for the 2013 year 2020the EPA will allow for the production and importation of at least 45 million pounds. Once a final rule is released the actual production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled tofigures will be phased out byknown for the year 2030.entire Period. The limitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in the price of virgin HCFC refrigerants.

For the yearsyear ended December 31, 20112012, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, 2010,in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 28% of the Company’s revenues. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company's products or services by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Seasonality and Weather Conditions and Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company's operating results vary from period to period as a result of weather conditions, requirements of potential customers, non-recurring refrigerant and service sales, availability and price of refrigerant products (virgin or reclaimable), changes in reclamation technology and regulations, timing in introduction and/or retrofit or replacement of CFC and non CFC based refrigeration equipment, the rate of expansion of the Company's operations, and by other factors. The Company's business is seasonal in nature with peak sales of refrigerants occurring in the first half of each year. During past years, the seasonal decrease in sales of refrigerants has resulted in losses particularly in the fourth quarter of the year. In addition, to the extent that there is unseasonably cool weather throughout the spring and summer months, which would adversely affect the demand for refrigerants;refrigerants, there would be a corresponding negative impact on the Company. Delays or inability in securing adequate supplies of refrigerants at peak demand periods, lack of refrigerant demand, increased expenses, declining refrigerant prices and a loss of a principal customer could result in significant losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not occur and result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and significant losses. The Company believes that there is a similar seasonal element to RefrigerantSide® Service revenues as refrigerant sales. The Company is continuing to assess its RefrigerantSide® Service revenues seasonal trend.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010,July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06,ASU 2012-02,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.Intangibles- Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Living Tangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding transfers2012-02 simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in and outthe realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by allowing an organization the Level 1 and 2 and activity within Level 3option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also includes conformingan indefinite- lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The amendments to employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosuresin this Update are effective for annual and interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of activity within Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effectiveimpairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after DecemberSeptember 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those years. There was no impact upon adoption of ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010 to our financial position or results of operations. There was no impact to our financial position or results of operations for the additional disclosure requirements in 2011.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendment to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820 to provide common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, as well as providing guidance on how fair value should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within the U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively, and early2012. Early adoption is not permitted. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04,Technical Corrections and Improvements.ASU 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the ASC, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair valve measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Furthermore, the Company’s controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

Officers, directors, and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish Hudson with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on Hudson’s review of copies of such forms received by Hudson, and on representations made to us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2011,2012, all filing requirements applicable to all officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial shareholders were complied with, except for one late filing in connection with a stock option issuance to Mr. Morch.with.

We will provide a copy of its code of ethics to any person without charge upon written request addressed to Hudson Technologies, Inc., One Blue Hill Plaza, PO Box 1541, Pearl River, New York 10965, Attention: Stephen P.
