Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1- Summary of significant accounting policies

Business

Hudson Technologies, Inc., incorporated under the laws of New York on January 11, 1991, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "Hudson" or the "Company"), is a refrigerant services company providing innovative solutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, including (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants and (iii) reclamation of refrigerants. The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hudson Technologies Company.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial information included in the quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments were normal and recurring.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements represent all companies of which Hudson directly or indirectly has majority ownership or otherwise controls. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries Hudson Holdings, Inc. and Hudson Technologies Company.

Reclassification

Certain account balances have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments including trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value at June 30, 2005, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short-and long-term debt approximates fair value, based upon quoted market rates of similar debt issues, as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its temporary cash investments in highly-rated financial institutions that exceed FDIC insurance coverage. The Company's trade accounts receivables are due from companies throughout the U.S. The Company reviews each customer's credit history before extending credit.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors associated with the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends, and other information. The carrying value of the Company's accounts receivable are reduced by the established allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectable, along with a general reserve for the remaining accounts receivable balances. The Company may adjust its general or specific reserves based on factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts receivable balances.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, one customer accounted for 17% and another customer accounted for 12% of the Company's revenues. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, no customer accounted for at least 10% of the Company's revenues.

Page 6

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Temporary investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of reclaimed refrigerant products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in first-out basis, or market.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, including internally manufactured equipment. The cost to complete equipment that is under construction is not considered to be material to the Company's financial position. Provision for depreciation is recorded (for financial reporting purposes) using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of economic life or terms of the respective leases. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Due to the specialized nature of the Company's business, it is possible that the Company's estimates of equipment useful life periods may change in the future.

Revenues and cost of sales

Revenues are recorded upon completion of service or product shipment and passage of title to customers in accordance with contractual terms. The Company evaluates each sale to ensure collectibility. In addition, each sale is based on an arrangement with the customer and the sales price to the buyer is fixed. License fees are recognized over the period of the license based on the respective performance measurements associated with the license. Royalty revenues are recognized when earned. Cost of sales is recorded based on the cost of products shipped or services performed and related direct operating costs of the Company's facilities. To the extent that the Company charges its customers shipping fees, such amounts are included as a component of revenue and the corresponding costs are included as a component of cost of sales.

The Company's revenues are derived from refrigerant and reclamation sales and RefrigerantSide® Services, including license and royalty revenues. The revenues for each of these lines are as follows:

Income taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, which provides for the establishment of deferred tax asset or liability accounts based on the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities.

The Company recognized a reserve allowance against the deferred tax benefit for prior period losses. The tax benefit associated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize net income.

Income per common and equivalent shares

For 2005, income per common share, Basic, is calculated based on the net income for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For 2004, income per common share, Basic, is calculated based on the net income for the period less the final dividend on the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of $228,000 that was paid during the three

Page 7

months ended March 31, 2004, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. If dilutive, common equivalent shares (common shares assuming exercise of options and warrants) utilizing the treasury stock method are considered in the presentation of dilutive earnings per share. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the number of common equivalent shares included and excluded in the calculation of dilutive income per common share were 311,090 and 2,481,457, respectively. In 2004, the effect of equivalent shares was not dilutive.

Estimates and risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company participates in an industry that is highly regulated, changes in which could affect operating results. Currently the Company purchases virgin, non chlorofluorocarbon ("CFC") based, and reclaimable, primarily CFC based, refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. To the extent that the Company is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or experiences a decline in demand for refrigerants, the Company could realize reductions in refrigerant processing and possible loss of revenues, which would have a material adverse affect on operating results.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings. The Company assesses the merit and potential liability associated with each of these proceedings. In addition, the Company estimates potential liability, if any, related to these matters. To the extent that these estimates are not accurate, or circumstances change in the future, the Company could realize liabilities which would have a material adverse effect on operating results and its financial position.

Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell.

Stock options

The Company has historically used the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options as permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options has been measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Company stock at the date of the grant over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the options.

Both the stock-based employee compensation cost included in the determination of the net income as reported and the stock-based employee compensation cost that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards, as well as the resulting pro forma net income and net income per share using the fair value approach, are presented in the following table. These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and additional options may be granted in future years.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB statement No. 151 ("SFAS 151"), which amends ARB No. 43 Chapter 4, which deals with the accounting for inventory pricing. The amendment provides greater clarity on costs that are to be included in the cost of inventory versus those costs which are considered period costs.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 152 ("SFAS 152"). SFAS 152 addresses accounting for the sale of real estate and the cost associated with real estate projects.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 153 ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 addresses accounting for non-monetary transactions.

SFAS 151, 152 and 153 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of FASB statement No. 123, ("Revised SFAS 123") which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Revised SFAS 123 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. Revised SFAS 123 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The revised SFAS No. 123 may have a material effect on the Company's results of operations but not on the Company's financial position.

Note 2 - Other income (expense)

For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, other expense of $137,000 consisted entirely of interest expense. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, other expense of $101,000 consisted of interest expense of approximately $177,000 offset by a gain on sale of assets.

Note 3 - Long term debt

In May 2005, the Company purchased the Champaign, Illinois facility from its then owner for a total purchase price of $999,999. The Company has financed the purchase with a 15 year amortizing loan with a balloon payment due on June 1, 2012. The note bears interest at 7% for the first five years and then adjusts annually based on prime plus 2%.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Safe Harbor Statement Under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Certain statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the markets for refrigerants (including unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the demand for, and the price of refrigerants), the Company's ability to source refrigerants, regulatory and economic factors, seasonality, competition, litigation, the nature of supplier or customer arrangements which become available to the Company in the future, adverse weather conditions, possible technological obsolescence of existing products and services, possible reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful life of its assets, potential environmental liability, customer concentration, the ability to obtain financing, and other risks detailed in the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "may", "plan", "should" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Overview

Over the past few years, the Company has created and developed a service offering known as RefrigerantSide® Services. RefrigerantSide® Services are sold to contractors and end-users associated with refrigeration systems in commercial air conditioning and industrial processing industries. These services are offered in addition to refrigerant sales and the Company's refrigerant management services, which consist primarily of reclamation of refrigerants. The Company has created a network of service depots that provide a full range of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services to facilitate the growth and development of its service offerings.

Management believes that its RefrigerantSide® Services represent the Company's long term growth potential. The Company is focusing its sales and marketing efforts on customers who the Company believes most readily appreciate and understand the value that is provided by the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services offering; rather than a mass market approach. In pursuing its sales and marketing strategy, the Company expects to focus its RefrigerantSide® Services on customers in the following industries; petrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial power, manufacturing, commercial facility and property management and maritime. Moreover, to maintain its current ability to quickly respond to customer service requests throughout the United States as well as to expand its presence outside the United States, the Company has created a strategic alliance with the BOC Group, PLC and intends to pursue the creation of additional strategic alliances with companies that service larger customers in targeted industries, which would enable the Company to (i) co-locate its equipment with these strategic partners and (ii) utilize these partners' sales and marketing resources to offer their customers the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services. The Company may incur additional expenses as it develops RefrigerantSide® Services.

Page 10

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a majority of the Company's revenues. Historically, most of the Company's refrigerant sales have been CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. However, the demand for CFC based refrigerants has and will continue to decrease as equipment that utilize other chemical based refrigerants replace those units that utilize CFC based refrigerants, particularly in the automotive aftermarket segment of the refrigerant sales industry. The Company has begun to increase its revenues from non-CFC based refrigerants. To the extent that the Company is unable to source CFC and non-CFC based refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or the demand for refrigerants decreases, the Company's financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Results of Operations

Three month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared to three month period ended June 30, 2004

Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were $7,221,000, an increase of $2,790,000 or 63% from the $4,431,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in refrigerant revenues offset by a slight decrease in RefrigerantSide® Services revenues. The increase in refrigerant revenues of $2,849,000 is related to an increase in the volume and price of certain refrigerants sold. The decrease in RefrigerantSide® Services of $58,000 was primarily attributed to the size of jobs completed.

Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $4,101,000, an increase of $1,477,000 or 56% from the $2,624,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the volume of refrigerants sold. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales were 57% of revenues for 2005, a decrease from the 59% reported for the comparable 2004 period. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales price of certain refrigerants.

Operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were $1,379,000, an increase of $164,000 or 14% from the $1,215,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in selling and general administrative payroll expense partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.

Other income (expense) for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $(71,000), compared to the $(78,000) reported during the comparable 2004 period. Other income (expense) includes interest expense of $71,000 and $87,000 for the 2005 and 2004 periods, respectively, partially offset by a gain on sale of assets of $9,000 for the 2004 period. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributed to less borrowings in 2005.

No income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were recognized. During the 2005 and 2004 periods no income taxes were recognized on the income before taxes of $1,670,000 and $514,000, respectively, due to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards from prior periods. The Company recognized a reserve allowance against the deferred tax benefit for the 2003 and prior losses. The tax benefits associated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize net income. A portion of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations.

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $1,670,000, an increase of $1,156,000 from the $514,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in net income was primarily attributed to the increase in revenues and gross profit margins.

Six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $11,803,000, an increase of $3,627,000 or 44% from the $8,176,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in refrigerant revenues offset by a decrease in RefrigerantSide® Services revenues. The increase in refrigerant revenues is related to an increase in the volume and price of certain refrigerants sold. The decrease in RefrigerantSide® Services was primarily attributable to the number of jobs completed.

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $7,089,000, an increase of $1,751,000 or 33% from the $5,338,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the volume of refrigerants sold. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales were 60% of revenues for 2005, a decrease from the 65% reported for the comparable 2004 period. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales price of certain refrigerants.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $2,684,000 an increase of $362,000 or 16% from the $2,322,000 reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in selling and administrative payroll expense, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.

Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was ($137,000), compared to the ($101,000) reported during the comparable 2004 period. Other income (expense) includes interest expense of $137,000 and $177,000 for the comparable six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributed to a reduction in outstanding indebtedness. During the 2004 period interest expense was partially offset by a $76,000 gain on sale of assets.

No income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were recognized. During the 2005 and 2004 periods no income taxes were recognized on the income before taxes of $1,893,000 and $415,000 respectively due to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards from prior periods. The Company recognized a reserve allowance against the deferred tax benefit for the 2003 and prior losses. The tax benefits associated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize net income. A portion of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1,893,000 an increase of $1,478,000 from the $415,000 net income reported during the comparable 2004 period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues and gross profit margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of approximately $3,103,000, an increase of $1,797,000 from the working capital of $1,306,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to operating results.

Principal components of current assets are inventory and trade receivables. At June 30, 2005, the Company had inventories of $2,735,000, an increase of $74,000 or 3% from the $2,661,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in the inventory balance is due to the timing and availability of inventory purchases and the sale of refrigerants. The Company's ability to sell and replace its inventory on a timely basis and the prices at which it can be sold are subject to, among other things, current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company's ability to source CFC refrigerants, which are no longer being manufactured, or non-CFC refrigerants (see "Reliance on Suppliers and Customers" and "Seasonality and Fluctuations in Operating Results"). At June 30, 2005, the Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $2,886,000, an increase of $1,147,000 or 66% from the $1,739,000 at December 31, 2004. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigeration industry that are primarily located in the continental United States.

The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements through cash flows from operations, the issuance of debt and equity securities and bank and related party borrowings.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was $1,421,000 compared with net cash used by operating activities of $354,000 for the comparable 2004 period. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the net profit for the 2005 period partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable.

Net cash used by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was $1,253,000 compared with net cash used by investing activities of $30,000 for the comparable 2004 period. The net cash used by investing activities for the 2005 period was primarily related to investment in property, plant and equipment, particularly the Company's purchase of the Champaign, Illinois facility for $999,000.

Net cash used by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was $106,000 compared with net cash used by financing activities of $7,000 for the comparable 2004 period. The net cash used by financing activities for the 2005 period was due to the repayment of debt.

At June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $677,000. The Company continues to assess its capital expenditure needs. The Company may, to the extent necessary, continue to utilize its cash balances to purchase equipment primarily associated with its reclamation facility, expansion of its RefrigerantSide® Services and with the alliance with the BOC Group. The Company estimates that capital expenditures during 2005 may range from approximately $1,400,000 to

 

Page 12

$1,600,000. The Company has expended approximately $1,169,000 through June 30, 2005 of which approximately $940,000 has been financed with additional debt.

On May 30, 2003, Hudson entered into a credit facility with Keltic Financial Partners, LLP ("Keltic") which provides for borrowings of up to $5,000,000. The facility consists of a revolving line of credit and a term loan and expires on May 30, 2006. Advances under the revolving line of credit may not exceed $4,600,000 and are limited to (i) 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable and (ii) 50% of eligible inventory. Advances available to Hudson under the term loan may not exceed $400,000. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of the prime rate plus 2.0 %, or 6.5%, and was 8.25% at June 30, 2005. Substantially all of Hudson's assets are pledged as collateral for its obligations to Keltic under the credit facility. In addition, among other things, the agreements restrict Hudson's ability to declare or pay any cash dividends on its capital stock. As of June 30, 2005, Hudson had in the aggregate $97,000 of borrowings outstanding and $3,335,000 available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit. In addition, the Company had $240,000 of borrowings outstanding under its term loan with Keltic.

Prior to March 31, 2004, the Company paid semi annual dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock. On March 30, 2004, the Company declared and paid, in-kind, the dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and issued 4,455, additional shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in satisfaction of the dividends due. The March 30, 2004 dividend payment represents the final dividend payment on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

On March 31, 2004, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock converted all of their shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price of $.79 per share. Upon conversion the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock received 16,397,468 shares of Common Stock.

In May 2005, the Company purchased the Champaign, Illinois facility from its then owner for a total purchase price of $999,999. The Company has financed the purchase with a 15 year amortizing loan with a balloon payment due on June 1, 2012. The note bears interest at 7% for the first five years and then adjusts annually based on prime plus 2%.

The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital requirements for the next twelve months from anticipated cash flows from operations and available funds under its credit facility with Keltic. Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerants purchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future would adversely affect the Company's future capital needs. There can be no assurances that the Company's proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, which capital may not be available.

Inflation

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

Reliance on Suppliers and Customers

The Company's financial performance is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non CFC based, and reclaimable, primarily CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers, and from other sources within the air conditioning and refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. Historically, most of the Company's refrigerant sales have been CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. In addition, the Company's suppliers of R-134a, a non CFC based refrigerant, have notified the Company that the supply of this product will be limited to an annual allocation for 2005. To the extent that the Company is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin or reclaimable refrigerants in the future, or resell refrigerants at a profit, the Company's future financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, one customer accounted for 17% and another customer accounted for 12% of the Company's revenues. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, no customer accounted for at least 10% of the Company's revenues.

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

 

Page 13

Seasonality and Fluctuations in Operating Results

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

Item 3 - Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

Between April 2004 and September 2004, Ramapo Land Company ("Ramapo"), the lessor of the Company's Hillburn, New York facility (the "Hillburn Facility"), advised the Company that it had incurred approximately $80,000 in legal and consulting fees relating to the April 1, 1999 release (the "1999 Release") at the Hillburn Facility of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant, and requested reimbursement from the Company for these costs and for future costs that may be incurred in this regard. In September 2004, Ramapo advised the Company that the value of the real property upon which the Hillburn Facility is situated has been diminished in value by an unspecified amount as a result of the 1999 Release. In July 2005, the Company received a summons with notice in connection with an action commenced by Ramapo against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Rockland County, seeking damages in the amount of $2,000,000 for an alleged and unspecified breach of contract (the "Rockland County Action"). The Company has not received a formal complaint in the Rockland County Action. The Company has entered into a stipulation with Ramapo by which the Company's time to serve a Notice of Appearance and/or a Demand for a Complaint upon Ramapo has been extended until September 30, 2005 in order to provide the Company and Ramapo with an opportunity to attempt to settle the Rockland County Action. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reach a settlement with Ramapo or, if it does, that the terms of any such settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company is unable to reach a settlement with Ramapo, any claims asserted by Ramapo in the Rockland County Action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

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

For further information on the 1999 Release, refer to the Legal Proceedings Section in Part I, Item 3 of the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 90,625 shares of Common Stock to officers and employees pursuant to its Stock Option Plans. With respect to these option grants the Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, the ("Act") as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and /or Section 2(a) (3) of the Act.

Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On June 28, 2005 the Company held an Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the Company's security holders voted for the election of three directors whose class was set to expire in 2005 (Messrs.

Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender all notices of amounts due under this paragraph, and in the event Borrower shall make payment directly, Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender receipts evidencing such payments. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Mortgage; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to discharge any such lien so long as Borrower shall agree in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by such lien in a manner acceptable to Lender, or shall in good faith contest such lien by, or defend enforcement of such lien in, legal proceedings which operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof.

4. HAZARD INSURANCE. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended coverage", and such other hazards as Lender may require and in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may require; provided, that Lender shall not require that the amount of such coverage exceed that amount of coverage required to pay the sums secured by this Mortgage.

The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to approval by Lender; provided, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All premiums on insurance policies shall be paid by Borrower making payment, when due, directly to the insurance carrier.

Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, provided such restoration or repair is economically feasible and the security of this Mortgage is not thereby impaired. If such restoration or repair is not economically feasible or if the security of this Mortgage would be impaired, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Mortgage, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. If the Property is abandoned by Borrower or if Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days after notice by Lender to Borrower that the insurance carrier offers to settle a claim for insurance benefits, Lender is authorized to collect and apply the insurance proceeds at Lender's option either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Mortgage.

Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

If under paragraph 17 hereof the Property is acquired by Lender, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies and in and to the proceeds thereof (to the extent of the sums secured by this Mortgage immediately prior to such sale or acquisition) resulting from damage to the Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to Lender.

5. FLOOD INSURANCE.

Borrower shall keep the Property in good repair and shall not permit or commit waste, impairment or deterioration of the Property and shall comply with the provisions of any lease, if this Mortgage is on a leasehold. If this Mortgage is on a condominium unit, Borrower shall perform all of Borrower's obligations under the declaration of condominium or master deed, the by-laws and regulations of the condominium project and constituent documents.

7. PROTECTION OF LENDER'S SECURITY. If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, or under the Agreement, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects Lender's interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender's option, upon notice to Borrower, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as is necessary to protect Lender's interest, including, but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and entry upon the Property to make repairs. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph 7, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Mortgage. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof, and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate permissible by applicable law. Nothing contained in this paragraph 7 shall require Lender to incur any expense or do any act hereunder, and Borrower expressly waives any right of action against Lender resulting from Lender's action or failure to act under this paragraph

8. INSPECTION. Lender may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property, provided that Lender shall give Borrower notice prior to any such inspection specifying reasonable cause therefor related to Lender's interest in the Property.

The proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of the Property, or part thereof, or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender. In the event of a total or partial taking of the Property, the proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Mortgage, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. If the Property is abandoned by Borrower or if after notice by Lender to Borrower that the condemnor offers to make an award or settle a claim for damages, Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days of the date of such notice, Lender is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds at Lender's option either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Mortgage.

Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

10. BORROWER NOT RELEASED. Extension of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage granted by Lender to any successor in interest of Borrower shall not operate to release, in any matter, the liability of the original Borrower and Borrower's successors in interest. Lender shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage by reason of any demand made by the original Borrower and Borrower's successors in interest. Lender shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage by reason of any demand made by the original Borrower and Borrower's successors in interest.

If, in the opinion of Lender's Counsel, payments received on the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage may be required to be returned as a preference or a fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code or under the laws of the State of Illinois and until determined to the contrary by appropriate, non-appealable, court order, Lender may consider such payments as not having been made, the sums represented by such payments shall continue to be secured by this Mortgage, and the Borrower shall not be released to such extent.

11. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, AND COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. The terms "hazardous waste", "hazardous substance", "disposal", "release", and "threatened release", as used in this Mortgage, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("SARA"), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq., The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq., or other applicable state or Federal laws, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the foregoing. The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance" shall also include, without limitation, petroleum by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos. Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Property at reasonable times with three (3) business days advance notice and make such inspections and tests, as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Property with this Paragraph 11. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other person. Lender shall provide Borrower with a copy of the test results. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this Paragraph 11 by Borrower. The provisions of this Paragraph 11, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the Note and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Mortgage and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Borrower shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the Property. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceedings, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

12. FOREBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER. Any forebearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

13. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All remedies provided in this Mortgage are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage, the Note or the Agreement, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; CAPTIONS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16 hereof. All covenants and agreements of Borrower shall be joint and several. The captions and headings of the paragraphs of this Mortgage are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.

15. NOTICE. Any notice to Borrower provided for in this Mortgage shall be given by mailing such notice addressed to Borrower at the Addresses stated below, and shall be deemed effective as of the date of mailing.

16. TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY. If all or any part of the property or any interest therein is sold, conveyed or otherwise transferred by Borrower (such transfer shall include the sale, conveyance, or other transfer of the beneficial interest of a trust or estate holding title, now or in the future, to the Property), Borrower will so inform Lender, and Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable.

17. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. In the event Borrower fails to perform or cause to be performed any covenant or agreement or any warranties are untrue or incorrect under this Mortgage, the Note or the Agreement, including the covenants to pay when due any sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceeding. Lender shall be entitled to collect in such proceeding all expenses of foreclosure, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

18. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION. As additional security hereunder, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all the rents, leases, crops, and profits of the Property.

Upon acceleration hereunder or under the Note or abandonment of the Property, and at any time prior to the expiration of any period of redemption following judicial sale, Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially appointed receiver, shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property including those past due. All rents collected by Lender or the receiver shall be applied first to payment of the costs of management of the Property and collection of rents, including, but not limited to, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds and reasonable attorney's fees, and then to the sums secured by this Mortgage. Lender and the receiver shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.

19. SUBORDINATE FINANCING. No other debt is allowed against the Property without the prior written consent of Lender.

20. WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF REINSTATEMENT AND REDEMPTION. Unless the Property is residential real estate or agricultural real estate as defined in the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law, Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption from sale in any foreclosure of this mortgage. If the Property is agricultural real estate and the Mortgagor is a corporation or a corporate trustee, Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption from sale in any foreclosure of this mortgage.

At no time will the interest rate increase or decrease more than 2.00% per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is being charged.

To secure payment of this Note (and any renewal or extensions hereof) and all other non-consumer, business or commercial purpose liabilities of the undersigned to Lender, howsoever created, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether direct or indirect, whether absolute or contingent, and whether due or to become due (this Note and all other liabilities being hereinafter called the "Obligations"), the undersigned pledge to the Lender and grant to the Lender a security interest in the following property (all of which is hereinafter referred to as "Collateral"):

The term "undersigned" as used in this Note shall include all of the makers of this Note and all guarantors thereof.

Each disbursement or advancement under this Note is made at the option and sole discretion of Lender. The undersigned shall promptly provide accurate, complete and current financial statements in a form acceptable to Lender as requested by Lender in writing.

If any one or more of the following events shall occur (hereinafter called "Event of Default"), that is to say, if; (i) default shall be made in the punctual payment of the Obligations when due; or (ii) any statement, application or supporting financial statement furnished the Lender by the undersigned shall be found to be false in any material respect; or (iii) the undersigned, or any of them, shall become insolvent, or shall be unable to pay his debts as they mature; or shall admit in writing his inability to pay his debts as they mature or shall make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors; or shall file or commence or have filed or commenced against him any proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions, or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the undersigned; or (iv) the undersigned shall fail to observe, perform or comply with any of the covenants, terms or conditions set forth herein or in any loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement or other instrument or agreement heretofore, concurrently herewith or in the future executed by the undersigned in favor of the Lender in connection with any transaction which results in indebtedness of the undersigned to the Lender now existing or hereafter arising, then, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, this Note shall, at the option of the Lender, become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice or protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the undersigned.

Each of the undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection, legal expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred or paid by the Lender in collecting this Note. The liability of any of the undersigned shall in nowise be affected or diminished by: a) the Lender's sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, modification, or other disposition of or with respect to any of said Obligations or any Collateral; b) the Lender's acceptance of any security for, or any guarantors of, any of the Obligations; c) Lender's forbearance or indulgence in the collection of any Collateral; d) Lender's failure, neglect, or omission to acquire or preserve an interest in or realize upon any Collateral, or to enforce any lien upon or right of appropriation of any moneys, credits or property owned by any other of the undersigned. In order to hold any of the undersigned liable hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of the Lender at any time to resort for payment to any other of the undersigned, or to any Collateral or other rights or remedies of the Lender in respect to the Obligations or any thereof.

On the failure of the undersigned to pay any of the Obligations when due, the Lender shall have any and all rights and remedies available to the Lender under the laws of the State of Illinois as may be applicable to this Note and any Collateral, and further, the Lender shall have such specific rights and remedies as set forth herein or in any other instrument, security agreement or loan agreement entered into by the undersigned, or any of them, with the Lender

All of the undersigned agree that they are each primarily and jointly and severally liable hereon and that the receipt of the consideration hereof by any one of the undersigned shall constitute the receipt thereof by all of the undersigned, and agree that release of one or more makers or guarantors of this Note or of any Collateral shall not release any other makers or guarantors.

If the interest rate index used in this Note, is no longer available, the Lender, its successors and assigns, will choose a new index which is a published standard index. The Lender will give the undersigned notice of such new index.

This Note and any other agreement in connection therewith shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. If any provision or clause of this Note is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions of the Note which can be given effect without the invalid provision, and to this end the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or any other right or power of Lender hereunder. All rights, powers and remedies of Lender are cumulative. No waiver by Lender of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.

Every legal assignee of this Note shall have and may exercise all the rights and powers given to Lender in this Note and every notice to or act committed by any one of the undersigned shall constitute a notice to or act committed by all of the undersigned.
