Item 1.Description of Business.
The use of the words “CVD,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to CVD Equipment Corporation, a New York corporation incorporated on October 13, 1982, and its subsidiary,subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.
We design, develop and manufacture customizedcustom and standard state-of-the-art equipment and process solutions used to develop and manufacture solar, nano and advanced electronic components, materials and coatings for research and industrial applications, with the focus onenabling tomorrow’s technologies™. We offer a broad range of chemical vapor deposition, gas control and other equipment that is used by our customers to research, design and manufacture semiconductors, solar cells, smart glass, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, LEDs, MEMS and industrial coatings used for medical, aerospace and other applications, as well as equipment for surface mounting of components onto printed circuit boards. Through our Application Laboratory, we provide process development support and process startup assistance. Our proprietary products are generally customized to meet the particular specifications of individual customers and to accelerate the commercialization of their proprietary intellectual property. We also offer standard products that are based on the expertise and know-how we have developed in designing and manufacturing our customized products.
Based on more than 30 years of experience, we use our engineering, manufacturing and process development to transform new applications into leading-edge manufacturing solutions. This enables university, research and industrial scientists at the cutting edge of technology to develop next generation solar, nano, LEDs, semiconductors and other electronic components. We also develop and manufacture research and production equipment based on our proprietary designs. We have built a significant library of design expertise, know-how and innovative solutions to assist our customers in developing these intricate processes and to accelerate their commercialization. This library of solutions, along with our vertically integrated manufacturing facilities, allows us to provide superior design, process and manufacturing solutions to our customers on a cost effective basis.
Part of our strategy is to target opportunities in the research and development and production equipment market, with a focus on higher-growth applications such as medical, aerospace, solar smart glass, coatings, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, graphene, MEMS and LEDs. To expand our penetration into these growth markets, we have a line of proprietary standard products and custom systems. Historically, we manufactured products on a custom one-at-a-time basis to meet an individual customer’s specific research requirements. Our new proprietary systems leverage the technological expertise that we have developed through designing these custom systems onto a standardized basic core. This core is easily adapted through a broad array of available add-on options to meet the diverse product and budgetary requirements of the research community. By manufacturing the basic core of these systems in higher volumes, we are able to reduce both the cost and delivery time for our systems. These systems, which we market and sell under the EasyTube® product line, are sold to researchers at universities, research laboratories, and startup companies in the United States and throughout the world.
Sales of our proprietary standard, custom systems and process solutions have been driven by building on the success of our installed customer base, which includes several Fortune 500 companies. Historically, revenues have grown primarily through sales to existing customers withto meet additional capacity needs or new requirements, as well as to new customers. However, with the proprietary solutions and our expanded focus on “accelerating the commercialization of tomorrow’s technologies”technologiesTM” we are developing an additionala new customer base. We have generally gained new customers through word of mouth, the movement of personnel from one company to another; limited print advertising and trade show attendance. We are now also gaining new customers by awareness of our company in the marketplace with results from our Application Laboratory, partnerships with startup companies, increased participation in trade shows and expanded internet advertising.
The core competencies we have developed in equipment and software design, as well as in systems manufacturing and process solutions, are used to engineer our finished products and to accelerate the commercialization path of our customer base. Our proprietary Windows®-based*, real-time, software application allows for rapid configuration, and provides our customers with powerful tools to understand, optimize and repeatedly control their processes. Our vertically integrated structure allows us to control the manufacturing process, from bringing raw metal and components into our manufacturing facilities to shipping out finished products. These factors significantly reduce cost, improve quality and reduce the time it takes from customer order to shipment of our products. Our Application Laboratory allows selected customers to bring up their process tools in our Application Laboratory and to work together with our scientists and engineers to optimize process performance.
We conduct our operations through two divisions: (1) CVD/FirstNano, which includes our First Nano (“CVD/FirstNano”) and Conceptronic product lines (“CVD/Conceptronic”); and (2) Stainless Design Concepts (“SDC”). Each division operates on a day-to-day basis with its own operating manager while product development, sales and administration are managed at the corporate level.
Operating Divisions
CVD/First Nano and Conceptronicsupplies state-of-the-art chemical vapor deposition systems for use in the research, development and manufacturing of semiconductors, LEDs, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, solar cells and a number of industrial applications. We utilize our expertise in the design and manufacture of chemical vapor deposition systems to work with laboratory scientists to bring state-of-the-art processes from the research laboratory into production, as well as to provide production equipment and process solutions based on our designs. CVD/First Nano also operates our Application Laboratory in a separate building where our personnel interact effectively with the scientists and engineers of our customer base. CVD/Conceptronic designs and manufactures reflow ovens and rework stations for the printed circuit board assembly and semi-conductor packaging industries. CVD/First Nano operates out of our main facility in Central Islip, New York.

SDC operates out of a 22,000 square foot facility fitted with Class 10 and Class 100 clean room manufacturing space located in Saugerties, New York.
Principal Products
Chemical Vapor Deposition - A process which passes a gaseous compound over a target material surface that is heated to such a degree that the compound decomposes and deposits a desired layer onto substrate material. The process is accomplished by combining appropriate gases in a reaction chamber, of the kind produced by the Company, at elevated temperatures (typically 150-1,800 degrees Celsius). Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are complete and include all necessary instrumentation, subsystems and components and include state-of-the-art process control software. We provide both standard and specifically engineered products for particular customer applications. Some of the standard systems we offer are for Silicon, Silicon-Germanium, Silicon Dioxide, Silicon Nitride, Polysilicon, Liquid Phase Epitaxial, Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition, Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene Nanowires, Solar Cell research and Solar material quality control.
Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are available in a variety of models that can be used in laboratory research and production. All models are offered with total system automation, a microprocessor control system by which the user can measure, predict and regulate gas flow, temperature, pressure and chemical reaction rates, thus controlling the process in order to enhance the quality of the materials produced. Our standard microprocessor control system is extremely versatile and capable of supporting the complete product line and most custom system requirements. These Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are typically priced between $80,000 and $1,500,000.
Rapid Thermal Processing (“RTP”) - Used to heat semiconductor materials to elevated temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius at rapid rates of up to 200 degrees Celsius per second. Our RTP systems are offered for implant activation, oxidation, silicide formation and many other processes. We offer systems that can operate both at atmospheric or reduced pressures. Our RTP systems are priced up to $600,000.
Annealing and Diffusion Furnaces - Used for diffusion, oxidation, implant anneal, solder reflow, solar cell manufacturing and other processes. The systems are normally operated at atmospheric and/or reduced pressure with gaseous atmospheres related to the process. An optional feature of the system allows for the heating element to be moved away from the process chamber allowing the wafers to rapidly cool or be heated in a controlled environment. Our cascade temperature control system enables more precise control of the wafers. The systems are equipped with an automatic process controller, permitting automatic process sequencing and monitoring with safety alarm provisions. Our annealing and diffusion furnace systems are priced up to $900,000.
Ultra-high Purity Gas and Liquid Control Systems - Our standard and custom designed gas and liquid control systems, which encompass, gas cylinder storage cabinets, custom gas and chemical delivery systems, gas and liquid valve manifold boxes and gas isolation boxes, provide safe storage and handling of pressurized gases and chemicals. Our system design allows for automatic or manual control from both a local and remote location. A customer order often includes multiple systems and can total up to $1,000,000.
Quartz ware - We provide standard and custom fabricated quartz ware used in our equipment and other customer tools. We also provide repair and replacement of existing quartz ware.
Convection Furnaces – We provide proprietary reflow ovens used by the printed circuit board assembly and semiconductor packaging industries.
Reflow Furnaces and Rework StationsStations – We provide standard and custom systems for the printed circuit board and surface mount technology industries. Our equipment is designed to melt solder in a controlled process to form superior connections between components, creating complete electronic circuits for computers and telecommunication systems, as well as for the automotive and defense industries.
Markets and Marketing
Due to the highly technical nature of our products, we believe it is essential to contact customers directly through our sales personnel and through a network of domestic and international independent sale representatives and distributors specializing in the type of equipment we sell. Our primary marketing activities include direct sales contacts, participation in trade shows and our internet websites. We are also focusing our efforts on being in the top listings on many search engines in order to increase the number of “hits” to our websites.
Customers
We are continuing to work on expanding our product offerings. Many of these products are used in research and in production applications. We sell our products primarily to electronic component manufacturers, institutions involved in electronic component research (such as universities, government and industrial laboratories) and to industries such as aerospace that require specialized coatings. We have both an international and domestic installed customer base in excess of approximately 200 customers to whom we have sold systems within the last three years.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012,2013, approximately 24.4%27.3% of our revenues were generated from foreign sales compared to 12%24.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.2012. Revenue tofrom a single customer in any one year can exceed 10.0% of our total sales. In fiscal years 2012 and 2011year 2013 one customer represented 16.6%23.7% of our annual revenues and 43.2%in 2012 another customer represented 16.6% of our annual revenues, respectively. We are not generally dependent on any single customer, andcustomer; however, the loss of any key customer would have to be replaced by others, as we have previously, and our inability to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Warranties
We normally warrant our equipment for a period of twelve to eighteen months after shipment, depending on the product, and pass along any warranties from original manufacturers of components used in our products. We provide for our own equipment servicing with in-house field service personnel. Warranty costs, including those incurred in fiscal years 20122013 and 2011,2012, have been historically insignificant and expensed as incurred.
Competition
We are subject to intense competition. We are aware of other competitors that offer a substantial number of products and services comparable to ours. Many of our competitors (including customers who may elect to manufacture systems for internal use) have financial, marketing and other resources greater than ours. To date, we believe that each of our two operating divisions has been able to compete in markets that include these competitors, primarily on the basis of technical performance, quality, delivery and price.
CVD/First Nano competes primarily with in-house design and engineering personnel at research and university laboratories with the capacity to design and build their own equipment internally. Due to budgetary and funding constraints, many of these customers are extremely price sensitive. CVD/First Nano also competes with companies that have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources to develop new products and support customers worldwide, as well as smaller competitors. We believe that our systems are among the most advanced available for the targeted market space.space.CVD/First Nano and CVD/Conceptronic’s proprietary reflow ovens and rework stations are used by the printed circuit board assembly and semiconductor packaging industries. CVD/Conceptronic also offers customized products for complex applications within the printed circuit board and other industries that use conveyor-type ovens in heating and drying applications. Our in-house design and engineering personnel develop leading edge technology for sale at competitive prices. CVD/Conceptronic competes with companies that are larger than our company and have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. We believe that our reflow ovens and rework stations are among the most advanced available having leveraged our experience in designing and building customized products for our customers.
SDC competes with companies that are larger than our company and have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. We believe that SDC’s gas management and chemical delivery control systems are among the most advanced available. We further believe that SDC is differentiated from our competitors through our intimate understanding of how the systems in which our products are incorporated are actually used in field applications. We have gained this understanding as a result of having designed and built complex process gas systems for CVD/First Nano as well as for a number of the world’s leading semiconductor, solar manufacturers, research laboratories and universities.
Sources of Supply
We do not manufacture many components used in producing our products. Most of these components are purchased from unrelated suppliers. We have some OEM supply contracts covering a selection of these components, although we are not dependent on a principal or major supplier and alternate suppliers are available. Subject to lead times, the components and raw materials we use in manufacturing our products are readily obtainable.
We have a fully-equipped machine shop that we use to fabricate in-house most of theour metal components in-house, including the most complex designed parts of our equipment. Our investment in CNC machines for our machine shop has increased our efficiencies while significantly reducing costs in production. Similarly, our quartz fabrication capability is sufficient to meet our quartz ware needs.
Materials procured from the outside and/or manufactured internally undergo a rigorous quality control process to ensure that the parts meet or exceed our requirements and those of our customers. Upon final assembly, all equipment undergoes a final series of complete testing to ensure maximum product performance.
Backlog
As of December 31, 2012,2013, our order backlog was approximately $8,342,000$3,917,000 compared to approximately $16,198,000$8,342,000 at December 31, 2011,2012, a decrease of $7,856,000$4,425,000 or 48.5% compared to $16,198,000 at December 31, 2011.53.0%. The decrease is directly attributable to the purposeful reduction in the amount of new orders accepted during thisthe transition phase of moving to our new Central Islip, New York facility. Now that the move is complete we have resumed our full sales efforts. Since January 1, 2014, we have received approximately $16,312,000 in new orders. The timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years. Included in the backlog are all accepted purchase orders with the exception of those that are included in our percentage-of-completion. Order backlog is usually a reasonable management tool to indicate expected revenues and projected profits, however, it does not providenotprovide an assurance of future achievement or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.
Intellectual Property
Our success is dependent, in part on our proprietary technology and other proprietary rights. We have historically protected our proprietary information and intellectual property such as design specifications, blueprints, technical processes and employee know-how through the use of non-disclosure agreements. In addition, where we deem appropriate, we file for patent and trademark protection of our proprietary technology and intellectual property that has the potential to be incorporated into our standard products and can be sold to multiple customers. We also maintain and/or assert rights in certain trademarks relating to certain of our products and product lines, and claim copyright protection for certain proprietary software and documentation.
While patent, copyright and trademark protections for our intellectual property are important to different degrees for our various products and solutions, we believe our future success in highly dynamic markets is most dependent upon the technical competence and creative skills of our personnel and our ability to accelerate the commercialization of next generation intellectual properties. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through non-disclosure agreements and with our customers, suppliers, employees and consultants other security measures.
Research and Development
The university research community is at the forefront of nanotechnology research, and we are focused on providing state-of-the-art systems to this market that will help bridge the gap between pioneering research and marketable products. Our Application Laboratory, together with a number of leading universities and startup companies, with whom we partner from time to time, conducts cutting-edge research on the growth of carbon nanotubes, graphene and nanowires as well as on selected solar cell manufacturing processes and smart glass coating processes. The results of this research could have far reaching implications concerning the use and manufacture of carbon nanotubes, graphene and nanowires, solar cell and glass coatings for many markets. Our intention is that together, with these leading universities and start-up companies, we will leverage our collective expertise in this field, which will allow us to capitalize on commercial opportunities in the future. This relationship has thus far produced leading edge results, including what we believe are the tallest carbon nanotube arrays yet developed.
In 2012 we expanded our laboratory staff and began independently conducting cutting-edge research and product development independently withfor CVD Graphene. On January 9, 2014 we filed provisional patents, covering the promising preliminary results.results we had achieved. In 2012,2013, we incurred approximately $1,330,000$1,837,000 of research and development expenses of which $389,000 were$1,013,000 was independent of external customer orders compared to 2011,2012, when we incurred $955,000$1,330,000 of research and development expenses, all$389,000 of which were incurred onwas independent of external customer orders.
Government Regulation
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local government regulations, such as environmental, labor and export control. We believe that we have obtained all necessary permits to operate our business and that we are in material compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to us.
We are not aware of any government regulations or requirements necessary for the sale of our products, other than certain approvals or permits which may be required for us to export certain of our products to certain foreign countries.
Insurance
Some of our products are used in connection with explosive, flammable, corrosive and toxic gases. There are potential exposures to personal injury as well as property damage, particularly if operated without regard to the design limits of the systems and components. Management reviews its insurance coverage with our insurance agent on an annual basis. We have the following types of insurance coverage:
● | Product liability |
● | Property and contents |

Results of Operations
In 2011, having realized that our current facility was not adequate to meet our anticipated future production requirements, we raised approximately $9,388,000 from the issuance of shares of common stock. In March 2012, we purchased a 120,000 square foot facility located in Central Islip, New York 11722 (the “Property”) through the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency, (the “Islip IDA”) and subsequently added another 10,000 square feet. This building replaced our two Ronkonkoma facilities which totaled 63,275 square feet.
Our 2012 and 2013 results of operations were significantly impacted by this transaction. A substantial amount of time and effort was dedicated to purchasing, renovating and moving into the new facility that proved to be disruptive to our continuing operations.
Revenue
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 20122013 was approximately $22,158,000$17,884,000 compared to approximately $30,994,000$22,158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011,2012, a decrease of $8,836,000$4,274,000 or 28.5%19.3%. Annual revenue from the CVD/First Nano and Conceptronic division decreased by approximately $7,671,000$5,943,000 or 28.8%31.3% to $18,996,000$13,014,000 which represents 85.7%represented 72.8% of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 20122013 compared to $26,667,000$18,996,000 or 86.0%85.7% of our total revenue for the prior fiscal year. This decrease is directly attributable to the reduction in the amount of new orders accepted during this transition phase as well as the disruption and inefficiencies in production from dismantling and reconstructing equipment during the year.
Revenue from outside customers for the SDC division decreasedincreased by approximately 26.9%54.0% or $1,165,000$1,708,000 to $3,162,000$4,870,000 compared to $4,327,000$3,162,000 in the prior fiscal year. The SDC division represented 14.3%27.2% and 14.0%14.3% of our total revenue during the years ended December 31, 20122013 and December 31, 20112012 respectively.
Gross Profit
Overall gross profit in the current year amounted to approximately $6,710,000 with a gross profit margin of 37.5% compared to the gross profit of $7,989,000 with a gross profit margin of 36.1% compared to the gross profit of $11,449,000 with a gross profit margin of 36.9% for the year ended December 31, 2011.2012. The CVD/First Nano and Conceptronic division generated a gross profit margin including intercompany transactions of 37.8% for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to a gross profit margin of 34.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared2012. We have begun to a gross profit marginrealize some of 35.4% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Additionally, we have utilized this time to hireefficiencies of hiring additional engineering and production personnel during the transition to our new Central Islip, New York facility so that they may be fullyare now trained and productive after the move.productive. The SDC division’s gross profit margin including intercompany transactions decreasedincreased to 33.8% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 33.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 35.3%2012.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling and shipping expenses were approximately $1,027,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of the decrease in revenue coupled with a slight increase in material costs.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 20122013 were approximately $6,207,000$6,082,000 compared to $5,484,000$5,123,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011,2012, an increase of $723,000$959,000 or 13.2%18.7%. This was primarily as a result of legal fees related to the Taiwan Glass litigation, and increases in both personnel and occupancy costs.
Prior to 2012 all research and development expenses were incurred on customer orders and were classified as part of costs of goods sold. In 2012 we expanded our laboratory staff and began independently conducting cutting-edge research and product development for CVD Graphene. On January 9, 2014 we filed provisional patents covering the promising results we had achieved. In 2012 we incurred approximately $389,000 of costs not classified as part of costs of goods sold. We further expanded those efforts in 2013 and incurred approximately $1,013,000 of independent research and product development expenses.
In 2013, we incurred bad debt expense of $1,281,000 primarily, due to a major customer (in the solar industry) executing a General Assignment For the Benefit Of Creditors. As a result of that action, we wrote off all existing accounts receivables from that customer and some of the revenue previously recognized using percentage of completion accounting. Remaining equipment that had not been delivered to the customer, which was significant, was placed back in inventory.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we completed the sale of our facility located at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, where our former corporate headquarters was located. The selling price for the facility was approximately $3,875,000 and as a result. We incurred a long-term capital gain on the sale of approximately $887,000.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, we completed the sale of our facility located at 979 Marconi Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, where our Application Laboratoryapplication laboratory was located. The selling price for the facility was approximately $1,659,000 and as a result, we incurred a long-term capital loss on the sale of approximately $694,000, which is included in selling and administrative expenses. On May 31, 2012 we entered into a Contract of Sale to sell our headquarters located at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, and began the final phase in completing the relocation process. The sale price for the Smithtown Avenue facility is $3,875,000 (exclusive of closing costs) and as of December 31, 2012 the book value (net of depreciation) on this facility is approximately $2,750,000. The closing on the sale of the Smithtown Avenue facility is expected to occur in April 2013. In 2012, as a result of expanding our laboratory staff in order to conduct our own cutting-edge research and development, we incurred an additional $389,000 which is classified as general and administrative.
Operating Loss/Income
As a result of the foregoing factors, we incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of approximately ($1,806,000) compared to approximately $545,000 of operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $545,000 compared to approximately $4,757,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of 88.5%.
Interest Income
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 20122013 was approximately $32,000$30,000 compared to approximately $18,000$32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.2012. This increasedecrease is primarily attributable to the increaseddecreased cash available as a result of the public offering in May 2011 and the sale of the Application Laboratory, which was partially offset by the cash used for the purchase and renovations of the new headquarters at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York. Our primary cash investing philosophy during these turbulent economic conditionsfor the investment of our cash remains that of minimizing risk.
Interest Expense
We incurred approximately $205,000$164,000 of interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2012,2013, which was approximately $22,000,$41,000, or 12.0% more20% less than the $183,000$205,000 incurred in the year ended December 31, 20112012. This is primarily as a result of paying off the loan agreement we entered intomortgage associated with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. on March 15, 2012, for $6,000,000 to finance a portionthe sale of the purchase price forformer corporate headquarters in April, 2013 and in addition to the utilization of the proceeds received from that sale to reduce the outstanding mortgage on our new corporatecurrent headquarters.
Other Expense/Iincome
We incurred approximately $17,000 of other expenses in 2013 compared to other income for the current year wasof approximately $28,000 a decreasein 2012. This was primarily attributable to the loss of $168,000 compared to $196,000 of othercertain rental income generated duringreceived at the year end December 31, 2011 when weformer headquarters as well as income tax refunds received refunds forfrom prior year’s overpayment of income taxes.
Income Tax Provision
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012,2013, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $35,000.$1,396,000. This is primarily the result of applying federal, state and local income tax rates less research and development and other tax credits that we have availed ourselves of on a pre-tax incomeloss of $400,000$1,957,000 as compared to approximately $1,109,000 ofan income tax expensebenefit of approximately $35,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 on pre-tax income of $4,788,000.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the year ended December 31, 2012, our2013, we incurred a net income amounted toloss of approximately $436,000,($560,000) as compared to $3,779,000net income of $436,000 for the same period in 2011.
Inflation
Inflation has not materially impacted our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2012,2013, we had aggregate working capital of approximately $20,100,000$18,444,000 compared to aggregate working capital of $22,948,000$20,100,000 at December 31, 20112012 and had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13,721,000$11,248,000 compared to approximately $18,137,000$13,721,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011.2012. The decrease in working capital and cash and cash equivalents of $2,848,000$1,656,000 or 12.4%8.2% and $4,416,000$2,473,000 or 24.3%18.0%, respectively, is primarily attributable to the costs associated with the purchase and renovations of our new Central Islip, New York facility.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, increaseddecreased by approximately $851,000$1,632,000 or 23.2%56.6% at December 31, 20122013 to $4,515,000$2,883,000 compared to $3,664,000$4,515,000 at December 31, 2011.2012. This increasedecrease is principally due to reduction in sales and our decision to write off $1,328,000 in accounts receivable as a result of a major customer, in the solar industry, executing a General Assignment For The Benefit Of Creditors as well as the timing of shipments and customer payments.
Inventories as of December 31, 20122013 were approximately $2,743,000$4,497,000 representing an increase of approximately $511,000$1,754,000 or 22.9%63.9% compared to the balance of $2,232,000$2,743,000 as of December 31, 2011.2012. This increase in inventory is primarily due to the inclusion of equipment returned from a terminated contractand materials not yet delivered to the solar customer that was previously classified as Idle inventory.filed for reorganization.
As of December 31, 2012,2013, our backlog was approximately $8,342,000,$3,917,000, a decrease of $7,856,000$4,425,000 or 48.5%53.0% compared to $16,198,000$8,342,000 at December 31, 2011.2012. The decrease is directly attributable to the purposeful reduction in the amount of new orders accepted during this transition phase of moving to the new building. The timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years. Included in the backlog are all accepted purchase orders with the exception of those that are included in our percentage-of-completion. Order backlog is usually a reasonable management tool to indicate expected revenues and projected profits, however, it does not providenotprovide an assurance of future achievement or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.
On August 5, 2011, we entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., (“HSBC”) to replace our $5 million revolving credit agreement and $2.1 million of existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A. This new agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a $2.1 million five (5) year term loan. The revolving credit facility permits us to borrow on a revolving basis until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the term loan accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under the term loan are collateralized by certain assets as defined under the agreement. The balance outstanding as of December 31, 2013 is $1,120,000. We have not utilized this revolving credit facility. The credit agreement also contains certain financial covenants, one of which we were not in compliance with at December 31, 2012.2013. We have secured a waiver by HSBC on that covenant.
In March 2002, we received from General Electric Capital Corporation a $2,700,000 mortgage loan, secured by the real property and building and improvements to finance and improve our facility in Ronkonkoma, New York. The mortgage loan, which hashad an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2012 of $1,007,842, iswas payable in equal monthly installments of $22,285 including interest at 5.67% per annum; pursuant to an industrial development bond purchase agreement with the town of Islip Industrial Development Agency. As of December 31, 2012, we were notWe sold the property and building in compliance with one ofApril, 2013 and paid the financial covenants ofremaining balance on the agreement. We have secured a waiver from GE Capital on that covenant. The final payment is due March 2017.
In April, 2012,2013 we completed the sale of our facilitycorporate headquarters located at 979 Marconi1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, where our Application Laboratory was located.York. The selling price for the facility was approximately $1,659,000$3,875,000 and as a result we incurred a long-term capital lossgain on the sale of approximately $694,000.
On March 16, 2012, effective as of March 15, 2012, we closed on the purchase of the premises located at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York. The purchase price of the building was $7,200,000 exclusive of closing costs. The transaction was structured pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, as a reverse tax deferred exchange. In order to avail ourselves of certain real estate and sales tax abatements, the purchase took the form of an assignment and lease purchase agreement with fee title continuing to be vested in the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency.
Pursuant to the terms of an Accommodation Agreement, we entered a loan agreement (the “Loan”) with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. in the amount of $6,000,000, the proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the purchase price. The Loan is secured by a mortgage against the Central Islip Facility. The loan is payable in 120 consecutive equal monthly installments of principal of $25,000 plus interest thereon and a final balloon payment of $3,000,000. InterestAs a result of the Section 1031 transaction a portion of the cash proceeds received from the sale of our previously owned building were used to reduce this loan by $1,309,000. This reduced the final balloon payment scheduled to come due when the Loan matures, to $1,691,000.Interest accrues on the Loan, at our option, at the variable rate of (a) 1.75% above LIBOR, which we chose or (b) a rate equal to 0.5% below HSBC’s prime rate. The Loan matures on March 15, 2022.
The large demand for energy savings, energy generation materials and products needed to address rising energy costs creates a growing demand for manufacturing solutions usingthin film coatings on glass, wafers and other substrates. Our Application Laboratory will help perfect and expand the multiple areas where low cost thin film manufacturing solutions can be applied and further optimize our technologies for cost and performance. We believe the solar, energy, electronic,aerospace, medical, LED’s, graphene, nanowires and nanotubes markets we are addressing with multiple products have significant growth opportunities for technologies that deliver favorable cost benefits.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalent positions, cash flow from operations and our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
We may also raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies or products. In addition, we may elect to raise additional funds even before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. On February 14, 2011, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register shares of our common stock and other securities for sale, giving us the opportunity to pursue possible future fundraising of up to $20 million (the “Registration Amount”) when needed or otherwise considered appropriate at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of any such offerings. This shelf registration was declared effective by the SEC on February 28, 2011. On May 27, 2011 we received $9,388,000 net proceeds from the issuance of 967,950 shares of our common stock at $10.50 per share less $775,000 of underwriting and other costs in our public offering. We currently have the ability, subject to satisfaction of applicable requirements, to sell securities for the balance of the Registration Amount under the shelf registration statement. The number of shares that we can sell and the amount of the gross proceeds that we can raise may be subject to certain limitations pursuant to applicable NASDAQ marketplace and SEC rules. Any equity or equity-linked financing could be dilutive to existing shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant estimates include accounting for certain items such as revenues on long-term contracts recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, recognition of stock-based compensation, assessment for impairment of our long-lived assets, and the valuation allowances for our income tax provisions.
Revenue Recognition
We continue to recognize revenues and income using the percentage-of-completion method for custom production-type contracts while revenues from other products are recorded when such products are accepted and shipped. Profits on custom production-type contracts are recorded on the basis of our total estimated costs over the percentage of total costs incurred on individual contracts commencing when progress reaches a point where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” using the modified prospective method. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value. We had no recorded long-lived asset impairment charges in the statement of operations during each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of the Company, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012.2013. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with the management of the Company, have determined that as of December 31, 2012,2013, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) of the Exchange Act). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012.2013. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012,2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established by the COSO Internal Control Framework.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance.
When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee focused primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth immediately below. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. As more specifically described in such person’s individual biographies set forth below, our directors possess relevant and industry-specific experience and knowledge in the engineering financial and business fields, as the case may be, which we believe enhances the Board’s ability to oversee, evaluate and direct our overall corporate strategy. The Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee annually reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the composition and size of the Board so that the Board consists of members with the proper expertise, skills, attributes, and personal and professional backgrounds needed by the Board, consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
The Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee believes that all directors, including nominees, should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our shareholders. The Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee will consider criteria including the nominee’s current or recent experience as a senior executive officer, whether the nominee is independent, as that term is defined in existing independence requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the business, scientific or engineering experience currently desired on the Board, geography, the nominee’s industry experience, and the nominee’s general ability to enhance the overall composition of the Board.
The Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee does not have a formal policy on diversity; however, in recommending directors, the Board and the Committee consider the specific background and experience of the Board members and other personal attributes in an effort to provide a diverse mix of capabilities, contributions and viewpoints which the Board believes enables it to function effectively as the Board of Directors of a company with our size and the nature of our business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiary
Central Islip, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CVD Equipment Corporation and SubsidiarySubsidiaries as of December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012.2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CVD Equipment Corporation and SubsidiarySubsidiaries as of December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the results of itstheir operations and itstheir cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012,2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 20122013 and 2011
Note 1 – Business Description
CVD Equipment Corporation and its subsidiarysubsidiaries (the “Company”), a New York corporation, was organized and commenced operations in October 1982. Its principal business activities include the manufacturing of chemical vapor deposition equipment, customized gas control systems, the manufacturing of process equipment suitable for the synthesis of a variety of one-dimensional nanostructures and nanomaterials and a line of furnaces, all of which are used primarily to produce semiconductors and other electronic components. The Company engages in business throughout the United States and internationally.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CVD Equipment Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary.subsidiaries. In December 1998, a subsidiary, Stainless Design Concepts, Ltd., was formed as a New York Corporation. In April 1999, this subsidiary was merged into CVD Equipment Corporation. The Company has one inactive subsidiary,two wholly owned subsidiaries: CVD Materials Corporation, as of December 31, 2012which provides marketing for our Application Laboratory and 2011.FAE Holdings 411519R, LLC, a real estate holding company whose sole asset is its interest in the real estate and building housing our corporate headquarters.. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s significant estimates are the accounting for certain items such as revenues on long-term contracts recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, depreciation and amortization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, impairment considerations of long-lived assets and stock-based compensation.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured on the basis of incurred costs to estimated total costs for each contract. This cost to cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.
The liability, “Billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents amounts billed in excess of revenues earned.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by the future enacted tax rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be utilized based on a lack of sufficient positive evidence.
Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method reducing income taxes currently payable and the provision for income taxes in the period the assets giving rise to such credits are placed in service. To the extent such credits are not currently utilized on the Company’s tax return, deferred tax assets, subject to considerations about the need for a valuation allowance, are recognized for the carryforward amount.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from sucha position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions through the year ending December 31, 20122013 which would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company and its subsidiarysubsidiaries file combined income tax returns in the U.S. federalFederal and New York State jurisdiction. In addition, the parent company files standalone tax returns in California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for tax periods before 2009.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in its income tax provision. The Company had no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 20122013 and 2011.
Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value. The Company had no recorded impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations during each of the years ended December 31, 20122013 and 2011.
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress consists of amounts expended for renovating the new facility which was purchased on March 15, 2012. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Computer Software
The Company follows ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software.” This standard requires certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software to be capitalized includingexternal direct costs of material and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to the software projects. These costs totaled $4,495$10,890 and $12,358$4,495 for the years ended December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, respectively, and are included in Other Assets. All computer software is mortizedamortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of three to five years. Amortization expense related to computer software totaled $4,869$7,433 and $128,361$4,869 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Intangible Assets
The cost of intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. Amortization expense recorded by the Company in 2013 and 2012 totaled $6,964 and 2011 totaled $9,228, and $8,343, respectively.
Research & Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. With our efforts having been utilized exclusively on customer orders, it has historically been included as part of cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. In 2012 we expanded our laboratory staff and began conducting research and development independently. In 2013 we incurred approximately $1,837,000 of research and development expenses of which $1,013,000 were independent of external customer orders compared to 2012, when we incurred approximately $1,330,000 of research and development expenses of which $389,000 were independent of external customer orders. In 2011, we incurred $955,000 of research and development expenses, all of which were incurred on customer orders.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $32,425$107,496 and $25,888$32,425 as of December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, respectively. The allowance is based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management believes the allowance is adequate. However, future estimates may fluctuate based on changes in economic and customer conditions. The Company doesn’t require collateral from its customers.
Product Warranty
The Company records warranty costs as incurred and does not provide for possible future costs. Management estimates such costs are immaterial based on historical experience. However, it is reasonably possible that this estimate may differ in future periods.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Share
Basic net earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. When applicable, diluted earnings per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of commoncommon shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be adjusted upon exercise of common stock options and warrants.
Potential common shares issued are calculated using the treasury stock method, which recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and invests its excess cash primarily in money market instruments. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain stability and liquidity. The Company sells products and services to various companies across several industries in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains allowances for anticipated losses based upon historical experience.
Fair value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and customer deposits approximate fair value due to the relatively short term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value based on prevailing borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012,2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this Update permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to the US Treasury rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidatedthe Company’s financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or aTax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statement disclosures.
We believe there is no additional new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements. However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

Note 7 – Financing Arrangements
On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., (“HSBC”), to replace its $5.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement and $2.1 million of existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A., which was secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property. This new agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a $2.1 million five (5) year term loan. The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow on a revolving basis until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime rate minus 0.50%. The term loan was used to pay off the existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A. Interest on the unpaid principal balance accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under this term loan are collateralized by certain assets as defined under the agreement.
