PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
Unless otherwise set forth herein, when we use the term `we' or any derivation thereof, we mean CVD Equipment Corporation, a New York corporation, formed in 1982 (the "Company").
We design, develop, manufacture, market, install and service Chemical Vapor Deposition and gas control equipment for use in manufacturing semiconductors, solar cells, carbon nanotubes, nanowires and equipment for surface mounting of components onto printed circuit boards. Our products include (1) both batch and single wafer systems used for depositing, rapid thermal processing, annealing, diffusion and etching of semiconductor films, (2) gas and liquid flow control systems, (3) ultra high purity gas and chemical piping delivery systems, (4) standard and custom quartzware, (5) reflow furnaces and rework stations and (6) carbon nanotube and nanowire deposition systems. We also provide equipment consulting and refurbishing of semiconductor processing equipment. Our products are generally manufactured as standard products or customized to the particular specifications of each of our customers.
Semiconductor components are the fundamental electronic building blocks used in modern electronic equipment and systems. These components are classified as either discrete devices (such as transistors) or integrated circuits (in which a number of transistors and other elements are combined to form a more complicated electronic circuit). In an integrated circuit, these elements are formed on a small "chip" of silicon or gallium arsenide, which is then encapsulated in an epoxy, ceramic or metal package having lead wires for connection to a circuit board. Our products are used in the manufacture and mounting of these components.
We conduct our operations through three divisions, CVD, SDC and Conceptronic. Each division operates reasonably autonomously on a day-to-day basis with its own operating manager and with sales and administration being handled by corporate managers. There is an overall corporate coordination in the day-to-day administration of the business, in establishing policy and consistently applying procedures.
CVD Division
Our CVD division designs and manufactures both standard and custom Chemical Vapor Deposition equipment for use in the semiconductor industry. In May, 2005, we acquired certain assets from First Nano, Inc., including their nanotechnology process development and equipment. First Nano developed solutions for single and multiwall nanotube and nanowire synthesis and manufactured chemical vapor deposition process equipment suitable for the synthesis of a variety of carbon nanotubes, one-dimensional and nanostructures and nanomaterials. This acquisition enabled the CVD division to expand on its leading edge technology, which is paramount in the semiconductor, optoelectronic, wireless communications, nanotechnology and solar cell arenas.
SDC Division
The Stainless Design Concepts ("SDC") division of the Company designs and manufactures in its Class 100 cleanroom, ultra high purity gas and chemical delivery control systems for the semiconductor industry, and also provides equipment consulting and refurbishing of semiconductor equipment. The field service group provides for contract maintenance, high purity fabrication and equipment installations and equipment removal.
Conceptronic Division
In December 2001, we acquired the assets of the Surface Mount Technology division of Research Inc., known as Research International ("RI"). RI was a manufacturer of Surface Mount Technology ("SMT") reflow furnaces.
In June 2002, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Conceptronic Inc.'s Surface Mount Technology business. Conceptronic specialized in solder reflow furnaces and rework stations for the printed circuit board and chip scale package industries.
In 2002 we combined the operations of RI and Conceptronic into our Conceptronic division.
The startup of our Conceptronic division provided a base for us to generate new and enhanced standard and custom furnace products to the semiconductor, solar cell and surface mount technology markets based on our own technology and technology that was purchased as part of the acquisition of assets.
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 300-1,800 degrees Celsius). Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are complete and include all necessary instrumentation, subsystems and components. We provide such standard systems and also specifically engineered products for particular customer applications. Some of the standard systems we offer are for Silicon, Silicon-Germanium, Silicon Dioxide, Silicon Nitride, Polysillicon, Liquid Phase Epitaxial, Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition, Carbon Nanotubes and Nanowires.
Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are available in a variety of models that can be used in production and laboratory research. All models can be 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 range in price from $100,000 to $2,500,000.
Rapid Thermal Processing ("RTP") - Used to heat semiconductor materials to elevated temperatures of 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 generally range in price from $75,000 to $350,000.
Annealing and Diffusion Furnaces - Used for diffusion, oxidation, implant anneal, solder reflow and other processes. The systems are normally operated at atmospheric 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 generally range in price from $75,000 to $650,000.
Gas and Liquid Control Systems - Our standard and custom designed gas and liquid control systems encompassing (1) gas cylinder storage cabinets, (2) custom gas and chemical delivery systems, (3) gas and liquid valve manifold boxes (VMB's) and (4) gas isolation boxes (GIB's) to provide safe storage and handling of pressurized gases and chemicals. System design allows for automatic or manual control from both a local and remote location. The price range for our Gas and Liquid Control Systems are from $20,000 to $350,000.
Ultra High Purity Gas and Chemical Piping and Delivery Systems - We provide field installation of ultra high purity piping systems within a semiconductor plant for the distribution of gases and chemicals to the assorted process tools. As part of field service, we also offer repair service on customer equipment.
Quartzware - We provide standard and custom fabricated quartzware used in our equipment and other customer tools. We also provide repair and replacement of existing quartzware.
Reflow Furnaces and Rework Stations - We provide a standard line for the printed circuit board and chip scale package 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 semiconductor equipment and supplies. Our primary marketing activities include direct sales contacts, participation in trade shows and our internet websites.
The web sites continue to see increased traffic. We have focused our efforts on being in the top listings on many search engines in order to increase the number of "hits" to our web sites.
We are continuing to work on expanding our product offerings. Many of these products are used in research and production applications. We sell our products primarily to semiconductor manufacturers, institutions involved in electronic research such as universities, government and industrial laboratories and to electronic assembly manufacturers. We have both an international and domestic customer base in excess of 350 customers. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 approximately 31% of our revenues were generated from foreign exports compared to 29% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Sales to a single customer in any one year can exceed 10.0% of our total sales; however, we are not dependent on any single customer. In fiscal year 2006, one customer represented 9.0% of our total sales. In 2005, another customer, a distributor, represented 11.5% of our total sales. No other customer represented more than 6.5% or 6.8% of our total sales in fiscal years 2006 or 2005, respectively.
Warranties
We warrant our equipment for a period of twelve to twenty four 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 year 2006, 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 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 have been able to compete in markets that include these competitors, primarily on the basis of price, technical performance, quality and delivery.
Sources of Supply
We do not manufacture many components used in producing our products. They are purchased from unrelated third-party manufacturers of such equipment. We do not have any supply contracts covering these components. We are not dependent on a principal or major supplier and alternate suppliers are available. We do not use a large amount of raw or difficult to obtain materials that could cause a problem in production of our equipment.
We have our own fully equipped machine shop to fabricate in house, 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 own quartz shop is capable of meeting our quartzware needs.
Materials procured from the outside and/or manufactured internally undergo a rigorous quality control process to ensure that the parts meet or exceed the most stringent specifications. All equipment, upon final assembly, undergoes a final series of complete testing to ensure maximum product performance.
Backlog
As of December 31, 2006 our order backlog was approximately $3,565,000 compared to approximately $2,648,000 at December 31 2005, an increase of 34.6%. The increase can primarily be attributed to our CVD Division. This division, inclusive of its expanded product line of First Nano equipment, continues to experience a demand for new equipment. The timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix; however, there is generally a one to six month lag in the completion and shipping of backlogged product. 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 provide an assurance of future achievement or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.
Intellectual Property
We believe that while patents are useful and will be used at times in the future, they are not always necessary to protect our intellectual property. We believe the collective value of our proprietary information such as blueprints, specifications, technical processes, cumulative employee knowledge, know-how and our experience provide us with a measure of protection for our manufacturing and design processes. We protect our proprietary information through non-disclosure agreement and similar agreements with our employees and other parties who have access to such information.
Research and Development
We continue to concentrate our efforts on several research and development projects. We develop and customize equipment for industry and government, university and industry research laboratories around the world. Our research, design and development of equipment, which remains proprietary to us, is used to improve our existing products and develop new products for customers. The amount spent on research and development was $513,000 (3.8% of revenue) and $500,000 (4.5% of revenue) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Government Regulation
We know of no government requirements for approval of the sale of our products or services except in some export cases, which require that we apply for the appropriate export license. As of December 31, 2006, there were no pending government approvals for an export license.
We know of no existing or probable governmental regulations that would have a serious effect on our business.
We have been and are in material compliance with all environmental laws we know to be applicable to our business.
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. We believe that our insurance
coverage is adequate. We have the following types of insurance
coverage:
o Product liability
o Property and contents
o General liability
o Directors and officers
o Transportation
o Business auto
o Workers compensation
o Employee benefits liability
Employees
At December 31, 2006, we had 108 employees, 106 of which were full time personnel and 2 which were part time. We had 60 people in manufacturing, 22 in engineering (including research and development and efforts related to product improvement) 7 in field service, 5 in sales and marketing and 14 in general management and administration.
Item 2. Description of Property.
We maintain our headquarters at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, where we own a 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility which we purchased in November, 2002. Our CVD and Conceptronic divisions operate out of this facility. Our SDC division operates out of a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility situated on five acres of land which we purchased in December 1998 and is located at 1117 Kings Highway, Saugerties, New York. Both facilities are in good operating condition and are adequate to meet our present needs. Both facilities are subject to mortgages which are described in Item 6, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under the heading, "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
In September 1999, the Company was named in a lawsuit filed by Precisionflow Technologies, Inc., in the United States District for the Northern District of New York relating to comments allegedly made by CVD's President, Leonard A. Rosenbaum, concerning the intellectual property obtained in the purchase of assets of Stainless Design Corporation. We promptly filed a counterclaim for unauthorized use of our intellectual property. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. In our counter claim, we are also seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. All pre-trial disclosure has been completed No trial date has been set.
In May 2002, the Company instituted a new action against Precisionflow Technologies, Inc., in the United States District for the Northern District of New York seeking injunctive relief and
monetary damages based upon copyright violations. A motion by Precisionflow Technologies, Inc. to dismiss this action has been pending since June 2002.

Results of Operations
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $13,356,000 compared to approximately $11,225,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, representing an increase of $2,131,000 or 19.0%. Revenue from the CVD division increased by approximately $2,297,000 to $6,863,000 which represents 51.4% of our total revenues during the current fiscal year, compared to $4,566,000, or 40.7% of our total revenues, for the prior fiscal year. The increase in demand for customized CVD equipment and gas and chemical delivery systems coupled with requests for equipment provided by the First Nano product line, which we acquired in May, 2005, has fueled this increase. The annual revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006, from our SDC division, increased by approximately $935,000 or 42.6% to $3,129,000. This represents approximately 23.4% of our overall revenue for the current fiscal year, compared to the 19.5% SDC contributed in the last fiscal year. SDC's growing reputation in the industry for quality products is the primary stimulus for this increase. Revenue from the Conceptronic division was approximately $3,364,000 for the current fiscal year a decrease of approximately $1,101,000 or 24.7% compared to $4,465,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Conceptronic division is continuing to improve their product offering at the same time it is focusing its efforts towards a more solutions oriented approach with what we believe is the best heat transfer in the industry and customized products. This is being accomplished by taking advantage of the engineering expertise in the Company as a whole rather than following much of the competition which has moved manufacturing facilities to the Far East to reduce costs and thus reduce selling prices. Conceptronic has already completed its first customized product sale.
As a result of the increased revenues for the current year, cost of revenues increased to approximately $8,672,000 from approximately $7,356,000 for the last fiscal year, an increase of approximately $1,316,000. The gross profit for the current fiscal year increased to approximately $4,684,000 from last year's $3,870,000, an increase of approximately $814,000 with an increase in gross profit margin to 35.1% from the 34.5% experienced during the prior
year. We continue to achieve greater gross profit margins year after year as a result of our ability to absorb those fixed costs through greater revenues and continuously monitoring costs. The gross profit margin of the CVD division increased to 42.9% for the current fiscal year compared to 42.2% for the last fiscal year. The SDC division's gross profit margin increased to 25.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 19.0% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The gross profit margin of the Conceptronic division decreased during the current fiscal year to 23.3% compared to 29.4% in fiscal 2005. This primarily is a result of the division's fixed costs having a greater impact on the reduced revenues.
Selling and shipping expenses were approximately $756,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $716,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005 representing an increase of 5.6%. This increase can be attributed to primarily to increased sales commissions and travel costs.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $2,925,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. This was an increase of approximately $394,000 or 15.6% compared to approximately $2,531,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase can be attributed to a combination of increased payroll and benefit costs, in addition to increased general insurance and utility costs.
Other income for the current year increased to approximately $116,000, an increase of $65,000 or 127% compared to $51,000 of other income generated during the year end December 31, 2005. In 2004, we wrote off a sale to a customer that filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In 2006, the liquidating trust distributed $92,400 to us, which represented 33% of the claim.
We earned minimal interest income for both 2006 and 2005 as a result of the utilization of all of our available funds for operations.
We incurred approximately $224,000 of interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2006, which was approximately $5,000 or 2.3% greater than the $219,000 incurred in the year ended December 31, 2005. The primary source of this interest expense, approximately $179,000 in the current year and approximately $188,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005, was the interest expense on the mortgages for the two buildings we own. The increase in the balance of interest expense is due to both the higher average outstanding debt as well as the higher interest rates on our revolving line of credit in the year ended December 31, 2006 than in the year ended December 31, 2005.
At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $40,000 and $277,000 remaining of our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $293,000 which related to various federal, state and local taxes. The current income tax provision was reduced by approximately $49,000 as a result of the use of available net operating losses.
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we earned approximately $897,000 before taxes as compared to $455,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. After tax earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $604,000 as compared to $391,000 after tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 or $.19 per basic and diluted as share compared to $.13 per basic and $.12 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. We earned approximately $239,000 or $.07 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to net income of approximately $62,000 or $.02 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2006, we had aggregate working capital of approximately $4,151,000 compared to aggregate working capital of $3,123,000 at December 31, 2005 and had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $257,000 compared to approximately $265,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2005.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts increased by approximately $483,000 or 25.5% at December 31, 2006 to $2,377,000 compared to $1,894,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to timing of shipments and customer payments.
The Company sold equipment to a Customer for a purchase price of one hundred four thousand, four hundred eighty two (104,482) shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. Between July 19, 2007 and July 31, 2007, the Company has the option to demand that the Customer make cash payment i.e.: two hundred fifty-one thousand, one hundred thirty 00/100 U.S. dollars ($251,130) for the equipment, the amount that would have been required had the Customer made cash payment for the equipment on July 19, 2006 in exchange for the return of said stock.The Customer's obligation to make such payment pursuant to the terms of the option is secured by a perfected lien upon the subject equipment and the Company's right to execute upon the aforesaid common stock. In the event the Customer does not make full payment, the Company has also reserved the right to maintain plenary proceedings against the Customer for the purpose of recovering such sums as may be due as well as the right to obtain a deficiency judgment in the event that the collateral in the equipment and stock is insufficient to discharge said obligation.
Inventory as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $2,705,000 representing an increase of approximately $637,000 or 30.8% over the inventory balance as of December 31, 2005. The increase in inventory was comprised of a slight increase in raw materials of approximately $11,000, an increase in work in process of approximately $662,000 and a decrease in finished goods of approximately $35,000. The build-up in work in process is indicative of an increase in orders that we are experiencing in addition to our transition to building a more standardized product line in order to reduce the time needed to fill a customer's order. Custom orders still comprise a significant part of our revenues. Accounts payable at December 31, 2006 was approximately $651,000 or 1.7% higher than it was at December 31, 2005.
In 2006 our credit line with a bank which permits us to borrow on a revolving basis was revised to reflect an increase in the amount we are permitted to borrow from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000.
All financial covenants previously limiting the amounts borrowed were eliminated. The line of credit is subject to renewal on June 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on this facility was $210,000 as compared to $100,000 at December 31, 2005.
We also have an available $250,000 line of credit for equipment purchases from the same bank permitting us to borrow up to 100% of the purchase price of equipment. The amount borrowed is immediately converted into a five year term loan at the bank's prime rate plus 1 1/4%. As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $77,000 outstanding on this facility. Borrowings under this facility are collateralized by the equipment purchased.
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 has an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2006 of $2,075,148, is 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. The final payment is due March 2017.
In April, 1999 we received from Kidco Realty Corporation a $900,000 purchase money mortgage loan, secured by the real property, building and improvements in Saugerties, New York. The mortgage loan has an outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 of $810,508 and is payable in equal monthly installments of $5,988 including interest at 7% per annum. The entire principal balance is due May 2009.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, an internal decision was made to significantly broaden the First Nano product line and pursue a significantly larger share of the R & D market with additional equipment platforms under the First Nano brand name. We have begun to market, quote and manufacture these products. In the second quarter of 2007, we plan to ship the first model of a new series of products intended for the R & D market. We feel comfortable we will be successful with the multiple new products to be offered as their design is based on building blocks we have used in previous systems over the years.
To support the increase in our existing product sales and the development and sales of the new First Nano products, we will need to increase our manufacturing capacity, hire additional personnel and expand our advertising, trade shows and marketing capabilities. Additionally, our First Nano laboratory is being expanded with additional laboratory test equipment and the new First Nano products for demonstration to help us stay in the forefront of carbon nanotube and nanowire production.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalent positions, cash flow from operations and ability to expand our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements for the next twelve months, including modest growth, without shareholder dilution.
Should we determine to grow our business more aggressively, which may include making acquisitions, we may need to raise additional funding. For this reason, as well as other reasons that arise from time to time, we may consider raising capital through equity or debt financings. Any decision to raise additional capital, as well as the determination of the appropriate vehicle
for doing so, will depend on market conditions, order levels, opportunities presented to us and other factors.
Significant Accounting Policies
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.
The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.
The liability, "Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts," represents billing in excess of revenues recognized.

Any subsequent references herein to the Board shall also mean the committee if such committee has been appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been specifically limited, the committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, including without limitation, the power to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any options granted under the Plan (an "Option") shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan and/or any Option.

(c) Authority of Officers. Any officer of a Participating Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation or election.

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended from time to time or any successor rule or
regulation ("Rule 16b-3").
3. Eligibility. Options may be granted to employees (including officers) and directors of the Participating Company Group or to individuals or entities who are rendering services as consultants, advisors, or other independent contractors to the Participating Company Group.

The maximum number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall be 300,000 shares. In the event that any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or cancelled and/or shares of Stock subject to repurchase are repurchased by the Company, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option, or such repurchased shares, may again be subject to a new Option only if the grant of such new Option and issuance of such shares pursuant to such new Option would not cause the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan to contravene Rule 16b-3
5. Time for Granting Options. All Options shall be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by Board and approved by the shareholders of the Company.

3/5 Exhibit 10.3
(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option
shall be established in the sole discretion of the
Board; provided however, that (i) the exercise price
per share shall be not less than the closing price of a
share of Stock on the date of the granting of the
Option, as reported by the American Stock Exchange; and
(ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee
who at the time the Option is granted owns stock
possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of a
Participating Company within the meaning of Section
422(b)(6) of the Code (a "Ten Percent Optionee") shall
have an exercise price per share less than one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the price described in clause
(i), above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option
(whether an Incentive Stock Option or a non-statutory
stock option) may be granted with an exercise price
lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above
if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or
substitution for another option in a manner qualifying
with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.
(b) Exercise Period of Options. The Board shall have the
power to set, including by amendment of an Option, the
time or times within each Option shall be exercisable
or the event or events upon the occurrence of which all
or a portion of each Option shall be exercisable and
term of each Option; provided however, that (i) no
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years after the date such Option is granted, and
(ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the
expiration of five (5) years after the date such Option
is granted.
(c) Payment of Exercise Price.
(i) Forms of Payment Authorized. Payment of the
exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being
purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in
cash, (ii) in whole shares of Stock owned by the
Optionee prior to exercising the Option, (iii) by
having the Company withhold a number of shares of Stock
from the exercise, equal in value to the exercise
price, or (iv) in a combination of cash and delivery of
shares of Stock, or cash and the withholding of shares
of Stock. The Company shall establish procedures in
connection with payments pursuant to (ii), (iii), and
(iv), above, to ensure that the Plan does not become
subject to variable accounting by virtue of such
payment methods. The value of any share of Stock
delivered or withheld in payment of the exercise price
shall be the closing price of a share of Stock on the
date of exercise, as reported by the exchange on which
the Stock is then traded, and if it is traded on more
than one exchange, the highest closing price so
reported. The Board may at any time or from time to
time grant options which do not permit all of the
foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment
of the exercise price and/or which otherwise restrict
one or more forms of consideration.
(ii) Tender of Company Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation and/or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's Stock.
(d) Payment of Taxes. In order to enable the Company to meet any applicable federal, state or local withholding tax requirements arising as a result of the exercise of an Option, an Optionee shall either (a) pay the Company the amount of tax to be withheld, (b) elect
4/5 Exhibit 10.3
to satisfy such obligation by having the Company withhold shares of Stock that otherwise would be delivered to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option for which the tax is being withheld, provided that withholding by such method shall be limited to the minimum required applicable tax withholding, (c) by delivering to the Company other shares of Stock of the Company owned by the Optionee prior to exercising the Option, or (d) by making a payment to the Company consisting of a combination of cash and such shares of Stock. Such an election shall be made in such a manner as may be prescribed by the Board and the Board shall have the right, in its discretion, to disapprove such election. The value of any share of Stock to be withheld by the Company or delivered to the Company pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall be the closing price of a share of Stock, as reported by the exchange on which the Stock is then traded, and if it is traded on more than one exchange, the highest closing price so reported.
7. Standard Terms of Stock Option. Unless otherwise provided for by the board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable for a term of ten (10) years.
8. Authority to Vary Terms. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of Options granted to different individuals or of different Options granted to the same individual; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of all such Options shall be in accordance with the terms of the Plan. This authority shall include, without limitation, the authority to include in any Option terms accelerating, terminating or otherwise changing, the exercisability of any Option in the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or in the event of the proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or in the event of an initial public offering of the stock of the Company.
9. Fair Market Value Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable by an Optionee for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company, including the Plan) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), such Options shall be treated as non-statutory stock options. This paragraph shall be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which they were granted.
10. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to Plan. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares of Stock subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the exercise price of any outstanding Options in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company (a "Recapitalization Event").
In the event a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding options are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise becomes shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Company may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options
5/5 Exhibit 10.3
to provide that such Options are exercisable for New shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares and the exercise price of the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
11. Options Non-Transferable. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
12. Termination or amendment of Plan or Options. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan or any Option at any time; provided, however, that without the approval of the Company's stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the total number of shares of Stock covered by the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of paragraph 10 above), (b) no change in the class eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options and (c) no expansion in the class eligible to receive non-statutory stock options. In any event, no amendment may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of the Optionee, unless such amendment is required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.
13. Applicable Law. This Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies that the foregoing CVD Equipment Corporation 2001 Stock Option Plan was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on the 23rd day of July, 2001.
Name: Sharon Canese
1/7 Exhibit 10.4
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION
2001 "KEY EMPLOYEE"
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated ______________ between CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION, a New York Corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), and ___________________, an officer, director or salaried employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (the "Optionee"). The Company's Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") has determined that the Optionee is one of the personnel of the Company or one of its subsidiaries that the objectives of the Company's 2001 "Key Employee" Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") will be furthered by granting to the Optionee an option pursuant to the Plan.
In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual undertakings set forth in this Stock Option Agreement, the Company and the Optionee agree as follows:
SECTION 1. GRANT OF OPTION.
The Company hereby grants to the Optionee an "option" to purchase ____________ shares of the Common Stock of the Company, at the price per share of ______.
SECTION 2. EXERCISABILITY.
2.1 The option shall become exercisable with respect to ___%
of the shares of Common Stock on ____________. With
respect to the remaining shares, an additional ___% of
such shares become exercisable on ____________, and
additional ___% on ____________, so that the option
becomes exercisable in full by ____________.
2.2 The option may be partially exercised from time to time
within the percentage limitations on exercisability set
forth in Section 2.1, but not at any time as to less
than 100 shares unless the remaining shares which have
become so purchasable are less than 100 shares.
2.3 Subject to Section 4, the option shall expire and cease
to be exercisable seven years after the date of this
Agreement, or on such earlier date as may be provided
herein.
SECTION 3. METHOD OF EXERCISE.
The option or any part thereof may be exercised only by the giving of written notice to the Company, which notice shall state the election to exercise the options and the number of whole shares of Common Stock with respect to which the option is being exercised. Such notice must be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the number of shares purchased. Such payment shall be made (a) by certified or official bank check payable to the Company (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company), or (b) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of previously acquired shares of Common Stock having fair market value (determined as of the date such option is exercised) equal to all or part of the purchase price and, if
2/7 Exhibit 10.4
applicable, of a certified or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company) for any remaining portion of the purchase price. As soon as practicable after it receives payment of the purchase price, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5, deliver to the Optionee a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
SECTION 4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE; DEATH.
4.1 If the Optionee's employment or service shall terminate
by reason of dismissal for cause or resignation without
prior consent of the Company, the option granted hereby
shall terminate and expire on the day the Optionee's
employment or service terminates.
4.2 If the Optionee's employment or service shall terminate
other than by reason of death, dismissal for cause or
resignation without the Company's prior consent, the
Optionee may thereafter exercise the option only on the
following terms and conditions: (a) such exercise may
be made only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise such option on the date his
employment or service terminates; and (b) such exercise
must be made by the earlier of the expiration date of
such option (determined pursuant to Section 2) or the
90th day after his employment or service terminates;
and (c) the Board of Directors has not determined that
the Optionee has caused hardship to the Company by
performance or non-performance of any action or deed,
past or present.
4.3 If the Optionee dies while in the employ or service of
the Company or a subsidiary, or during the 90-day
period after his employment or service terminates for
any reason other than dismissal for cause or
resignation from employment without the Company's prior
consent, the option granted hereby shall be
exercisable, but only within one year after the date of
the Optionee's death, to the extent that the Optionee
was entitled to exercise such option on the date of
death. Any such exercise following the Optionee's death
may be made only by such Optionee's personal
representative, unless the Optionee's will specifically
disposes of such option, in which case such exercise
shall be made only by the recipient of such specific
disposition. If the Optionee's personal representative
or the recipient of a specific disposition under the
Optionee's will shall be entitled to exercise any
option pursuant to the preceding sentence, such
representative or recipient shall be bound by all the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement
which would have applied to the Optionee's exercise of
the option granted hereby (if he had lived), including
without limitation, the provisions of Sections 2,4.5
and 9.
4.4 The Optionee shall be deemed to have terminated
employment or service when the Optionee ceases to be
employed by or serve as a director of the Company and
all of its subsidiaries. The Committee may in its
discretion determine (a) whether any leave of absence
constitutes a termination of employment or service
within the meaning of this Agreement, and (b) the
impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on the
option granted under this Agreement.
3/7 Exhibit 10.4
SECTION 5. RESTRICTIONS
5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision(s) of this
Agreement, the options herein granted are contingent
upon (a) the shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of the within option having
been duly listed, subject to official notice of
issuance, upon NASDAQ and (b) a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such
shares having become effective-unless the Committee
shall, upon the advice of counsel, determine that such
listing and/or registration is neither necessary nor
desirable.
5.2 Notwithstanding any other provision(s) of this
Agreement, if the Committee shall at any time determine
that any Consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary
or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with,
the issuance or transfer of shares of Common Stock or
the taking of , or in connection with, the issuance or
transfer of shares of Common Stock or the taking of any
action in connection with, the issuance or transfer of
shares of Common Stock or the taking of any other
action in connection with this Agreement or the Plan,
then such action shall not be taken, in whole or in
part, unless and until such Consent shall have been
effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the
Committee.
5.3 For purposes of Section 5.2, the term "Consent" means
(a) any and all listings, registrations or
qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities
exchange or under any federal, state or local law, rule
or regulation, (b) any and all written agreements and
representations by the Optionee with respect to the
disposition of shares of Common Stock, or with respect
to any other matter, which the Committee shall deem
necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any
such listing, registration or qualification or
registration be made and (c) any and all consents,
clearances and approvals by any governmental or other
regulatory bodies in respect of any action taken or to
be taken under the Plan or this Agreement.
SECTION 6. NONTRANSFERABILITY AND NONASSIGNABILITY.
No right granted to the Optionee under the Plan or this agreement shall be assignable or transferable (whether by operation of law or otherwise and whether voluntarily or involuntarily), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Optionee, all rights granted to the Optionee under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his lifetime or after death by his legal representative.
4/7 Exhibit 10.4
SECTION 7. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered upon exercise of the option granted hereby, the Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery that the Optionee remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and other governmental withholding tax requirements related thereto.
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.
In the event of any increase or decrease, after the date of this Agreement, in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from stock dividends, split-up, recapitalization, acquisition of stock, separation, or liquidation, the Committee shall proportionately adjust the number of shares subject to the option, the purchase price set forth in Section 1, and any and all other matters deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided, however, that any option to purchase fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated.
SECTION 9. REORGANIZATION.
9.1 In the event that the Company is merged or consolidated
with another corporation and (i) the Company is not the
surviving corporation or (ii) the Company shall be the
surviving corporation and there shall be any change in
the shares of Common Stock by reason of such merger or
consolidation, or in the event of the reorganization or
liquidation of the Company (each such event being
hereinafter referred to as a "Reorganization Event") or
in the event that the Board of Directors of the Company
shall propose that the Company enter into a
Reorganization Event, then the Committee may in its
discretion (i) by written notice to the Optionee,
provide that the option granted hereby will be
terminated unless exercised within 30 days (or such
longer period as the Committee shall determine in its
sole discretion) after the date of such notice, and/or
(ii) advance any one or more of the dates upon which
such option shall become exercisable in whole or in
part. Wherever deemed appropriate by the committee, any
such action may be made conditional upon the
consummation of the applicable Reorganization Event.
9.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 9.1, if any
"corporate transaction" as defined in Section 1.425-1
of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954 occurs after the date
hereof and in connection therewith the Company and
another corporation enter into an agreement providing
for the issuance of substitute stock options in
exchange for the Option or for the assumption of such
Option, in either case giving the employee the right to
purchase the largest whole number of shares of stock of
the Company or of any other corporation at the lowest
option price permitted by said Section 1.425-1, the
Option shall, from and after the effective date of such
corporate transaction, be deemed to provide for the
purchase of such number of shares of such option price
as shall be agreed upon by the Company and such other
corporation, and the term "Company" herein shall mean
the issuer of the stock then covered by the
5/7 Exhibit 10.4

SECTION 12. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.
Neither the Optionee nor any person succeeding to the Optionee's rights hereunder shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares subject to the option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him or her for such shares. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 8 or 9, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

13.1 Any and all payments of shares of Common Stock
hereunder shall be granted, transferred or paid on
consideration of services performed by the Optionee for
the Company or for its subsidiaries.
13.2 Any and all issuance of shares of Common Stock
hereunder shall constitute a special incentive payment
to the Optionee. Such issuances and payments shall not,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be taken
into account in computing the amount of salary or
compensation of the Optionee for the purposes of
determining any pension, retirement, death or other
benefits under (i) any pension, retirement, life
insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any
subsidiary or (ii) any agreement between the Company or
any subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Optionee, on
the other hand.
SECTION 14. COMMITTEE DETERMINATIONS.
The Committee's determinations under the Plan and this Agreement need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). All decisions, interpretations and determinations by the Committee with regard to any question or matter arising hereunder or under the Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Optionee.
6/7 Exhibit 10.4

Shares of stock that shall be transferable pursuant to the option shall be authorized and unissued or treasury shares of the Company's Common Stock.
SECTION 17. PLAN PROVISIONS TO PREVAIL.
This Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan. Without limiting generality of the foregoing, by entering into this Agreement the Optionee agrees that no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award thereunder or this Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
CVD Equipment Corporation
Ronkonkoma, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31 2006, 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, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 - Business Description
CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiary (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 the world.
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. 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, CVD Materials Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. 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. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as revenues on long-term contracts recognized on the percentage- of-completion method, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, tax provisions and product warranties.
Revenue and Income Recognition
The Company recognizes 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 the
Company's estimates of the percentage-of-completion of 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.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.
The liability, "Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts," represents amounts billed in excess of revenues earned.
Investments
Investments in unconsolidated companies in which the Company owns less then a 20% interest or otherwise does not exercise a significant influence are carried at cost.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market.
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified in the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the net income previously reported.
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 current enacted tax rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is not considered necessary by management since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. An allowance may be necessary in the future based on changes in economic conditions.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations as incurred. The cost of certain labor and overhead which is expected to benefit future periods has been capitalized and amortized. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight- line method for financial statement purposed over the following estimated useful lives:

---------------
Furniture and fixtures 8 years

Software Capitalization
The Company follows Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. This standard requires certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software to be capitalized including external direct costs of material and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to the software projects. These costs totaled $123,115 and $252,483 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively and are included in Other Assets. All software is amortized straight-line over its useful life of three years. Amortization expense related to software totaled $37,194 and $47,446 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The cost of intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. Amortization expense recorded by the Company in 2006 and 2005 totaled $18,027 and $13,416 respectively.
Bad Debts
Accounts receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7,217 and $8,597 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The allowance is based on prior experience and management's evaluation of the collectibility of accounts receivable. Management believes the allowance is adequate. However, future estimates may change based on changes in economic and customer conditions.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Product Warranty
The Company records warranty costs as incurred and does not provide for possible future costs. Management estimates such costs not to be material based on prior experience. However, it is reasonably possible that this estimate may change in the future.
Advertising Costs
The company expenses advertising and trade show costs which are not expected to benefit future periods. These expenses which are included in selling and shipping expenses were $57,508 and $53,492 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
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. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options. Items which may dilute earnings per share in future periods are disclosed in Note 13.
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. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support trade receivables. See Note 15 for concentration details.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Fair value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R "Share-Based Payment" using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123- R 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. Under the modified prospective method of adopting SFAS No. 123-R, the Company recognized compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at that time. Under this method of adoption, no restatement of prior periods is made.
Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company recognized the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued Employees" (APB 25). APB 25 required the use of the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. Compensation expense was measured under APB 25 on the date the shares were granted. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized for stock options.
Shipping and Handling
It is the Company's policy to include freight in total sales. The amount included in sales was $34,214 and $33,540 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in selling and shipping is $98,138 and $87,844 for shipping and handling costs for 2006 and 2005, respectively.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FASB No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FASB No. 155 provides the framework for fair value re- measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, as well as establishing a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assts to identify interests. FASB No. 155 further amends FASB No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity's holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The guidance in FASB No.155 also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FASB No. 133 and which concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. This Statement is effective for financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. FASB No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 156 ("FASB No. 156"), Accounting
for the Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
140. FASB No. 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or
servicing liability under certain circumstances when an obligation to
service a financial asset occurs by entering into a service contract.
FASB No.156 also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value utilizing the
amortization method or the fair market value method. FASB No. 156 is
effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. FASB No. 156 is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The other accounting pronouncements affected include Statements No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments; No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments; No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations; No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Statement No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 recommends using both the "rollover" and "iron curtain" approaches when quantifying misstatements from prior years to determine materiality. If the misstatement in the current year financial statements is material after the application of both the "rollover" and "iron curtain"
approaches, the prior year financial statements should be corrected, even though such revision previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior year financial statements. If the cut-off error that existed in the prior year was not discovered until the current year, a separate analysis of the prior year (and any other prior year in which previously undiscovered errors existed) would need to be performed to determine whether such prior year financial statements were materially misstated. If a material misstatement did occur, then the prior year financial statements would need to be restated. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ended after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159 ("FASB 159"), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The fair value option established by this statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The measurement option is applied to:

The Company has New York State investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $263,000 that may be offset against future state tax liabilities through the year 2019 and other state tax credits totaling approximately $327,000 which may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company accounts for investment tax credits primarily by the flow-through method.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had federal and state net operating loss (NOL's) carryforwards totaling approximately $40,000 and $277,000, respectively. These NOL's were incurred in the 2003 tax year and may be used to offset taxable income in future periods through 2023.

Management believes the deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income. However, it is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate of future realization may change in future periods.
Note 13 - Stock Option Plans
On June 15, 1989 the Company instituted a non-qualified stock option plan
(the "Plan"). In connection therewith, 700,000 shares of the Company's
common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to options that may be
granted under the Plan through June 30, 2009. On June 3, 1996, the Company
issued 84,000 options which expire ten years from the date of grant. None
of these options were exercisable until June 3, 1999. The option price was
less than the fair market value per share on the date the 1996 options
were granted. On April 15, 1998, 140,000 options were granted to employees
under this plan. Options granted in 1998 vest straight-line over a four-
year period following the date of grant and expire five years after the
date of grant. On July 16, 1999, 52,500 options were granted to employees
under this Plan. Options granted in 1999 vest
incrementally over four-year periods following the date of grant and
expire seven years after the date of grant. On February 2, 2000, 242,000
options were granted to employees under this plan.
On May 7, 2000 and August 8, 2000, a total of 80,000 options were granted

On June 22, 2006 10,000 options which vest equally over a four-year period were granted to an employee under the plan which expires on June 21, 2013.
In November 2006, the Company registered a non-qualified stock option plan that the shareholders had approved in July 2001, covering key employees, officers, directors and other persons that may be considered as service providers to the Company. Options will be awarded by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the board. Under the plan, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Company common stock, $.01 par value, are reserved for issuance or transfer upon the exercise of options which are granted. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, options granted under the plan shall become exercisable in 25% installments commencing one year from the anniversary date of the grant.
The purchase price of the common stock under each option shall be no lower than the average bid price per share, calculated on a monthly basis, that the common stock (as reported by AMEX) traded during the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the option is granted. The stock options generally expire five years after the date of grant. The stock option plan shall terminate on July 22, 2011. No options have been granted under the July 2001 plan.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R "Share-Based Payment" using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123- R 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. Under the modified prospective method of adopting SFAS No. 123-R, the Company recognized compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at that time. Under this method of adoption, no restatement of prior periods is made.
Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company recognized the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued Employees" (APB 25). APB 25 required the use of the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. Compensation expense was measured under APB 25 on the date the shares were granted. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized for stock options.
The intrinsic value of the 122,700 and 88,700 options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $188,075 and $148,100 respectively.
During the current period ended December 31, 2006 the Company recorded into selling and general administrative expense approximately $169,000, for the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R.

Legal Proceedings
On September 24, 1999 the Company was named in a lawsuit. The nature of
this legal proceeding focused on the intellectual property obtained during
the purchase of assets of Stainless Design Corporation. On November 10,
1999, the Company responded with a counterclaim. It is the Company's
legal counsels' belief that the lawsuit against the Company is without
merit. The Company considers its potential exposure to be negligible
and/or covered by insurance.
In May 2002, the Company instituted a new action against Precisionflow
Technologies, Inc., in the United States District for the Northern
District of New York also seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages
based upon additional copyright violations. A motion by Precisionflow
Technologies, Inc. to dismiss this action has been pending since June
2002.
