NOTE 1:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the interim financials not misleading have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at such date, as filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 28, 2024, but does not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2024, the Company had $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company anticipates that the existing cash and cash equivalents balance together with potential future income from operations, collections of existing accounts receivable, revenue from its existing backlog of products as of this filing date, the sale of inventory on hand, deposits and down payments against significant orders will be adequate to meet its working capital and capital equipment requirements, and its anticipated cash needs over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company records revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services promised to its customers. Under ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model to: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price for the contract; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue using one of the following two methods:

Over time

The Company designs, manufactures and sells custom chemical vapor deposition equipment through contractual agreements. These system sales require the Company to deliver functioning equipment that is generally completed within two to eighteen months from commencement of order acceptance. For systems sales that meet the criteria to recognize revenue over time, the Company recognizes revenue over time by using an input method based on costs incurred as it depicts the Company’s progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. For system sales that do not meet the criteria to recognize revenue over time based on the contract provisions, the Company recognizes revenue based on point in time as discussed below.

Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process, and installed, as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require the Company to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. There were no material impairment losses recognized on contract assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and collections results in accounts receivables, unbilled receivables or contract assets and contract liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Under typical payment terms for our contracts accounted for over time, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Under ASC 606, payments received from customers in excess of revenue recognized to-date results in a contract liability. These contract liabilities are not considered to represent a significant financing component of the contract because we believe these cash advances and deposits are generally used to meet working capital demands which can be higher in the earlier stages of a contract. Also, advanced payments and deposits provide us with some measure of assurance that the customer will perform on its obligations under the contract.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from system sales under contracts and represents revenue recognized that exceeds the amount billed to the customer.

Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. The Company typically receives down payments upon receipt of orders and progress payments as the system is manufactured.

Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current as these contracts in progress are expected to be substantially completed within the next twelve months.

Point in time

For non-system sales of products and services, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

For any system equipment sales where the equipment would have an alternative use or where the contract provisions of the contract preclude the use of over time revenue recognition, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the equipment is transferred to the customer. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all system equipment sales were recorded over time by using an input method except for one system equipment contract in the second quarter of 2023 where the revenue was to be recognized at the point in time when the equipment was transferred to the customer. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, this one system equipment contract was modified such that the revenue under this contract would be recognized over time using an input method based on the revised contract provisions and the fact that the equipment does not have an alternative use.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Inventories

Inventories (raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods) are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventory reflect all accumulated production costs, which are comprised of direct production costs and overhead, and is reduced by amounts recorded in cost of sales as the related revenue is recognized. Indirect costs relating to long-term contracts, which include expenses such as general and administrative, are charged to expense as incurred and are not included in our cost of sales or work-in-process and finished goods inventory.

Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its estimated net realizable value if less than cost. The Company evaluates usage requirements by analyzing historical usage, anticipated demand, alternative uses of materials and other qualitative factors. Unanticipated changes in demand for the Company’s products may require a write down of inventory, which would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

Product Warranty

The Company typically provides standard warranty coverage on its systems for one year from the date of final acceptance or fifteen months from the date of shipment by providing labor and parts necessary to repair the systems during the warranty period. The Company records the estimated warranty cost when revenue is recognized on the related system. Warranty cost is included in “Cost of revenue” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated warranty cost is based on the Company’s historical cost. The Company updates its warranty estimates based on actual costs incurred.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update expand annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update is effective for our annual report for fiscal year 2025, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for our annual report for fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company believes there is no additional new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective, that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements. However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

NOTE 3: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million and $14.0 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company invests excess cash in U.S. treasury bills, certificates of deposit or deposit accounts, all with maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents consisting of U.S. treasury bills were $9.8 million and $12.1 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company places most of its temporary cash investments in the United States with financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The amount at risk at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Accounts receivable

The Company sells products and services to various companies across several industries in the ordinary course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience, evaluation of their credit history and review of the invoicing terms of the contract to determine the financial strength of its customers.

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses of approximately $36,000 at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The allowance is based on prior experience and management’s evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable. Measurement of credit losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for changing business conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and the financial health of specific customers. Future changes to the estimated allowance for credit losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 3: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (continued)

At June 30, 2024, the accounts receivable balance included amounts from two customers that represented 35.7% and 10.5% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the accounts receivable balance includes amounts from three customers that represented 37.6%, 13.0% and 12.8% of total accounts receivable.

Sales concentration

Revenue from a single customer in any one period can exceed 10% of our total revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, one customer exceeded 10% of revenues, representing 35.2% of revenues, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, one customer exceeded 10%, representing 32.8% of revenues.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, four customers exceeded 10% of revenues, representing 16.1%, 15.6%, 11.0% and 10.2% of revenues, and during the six months ended June 30, 2023, two customers exceeded 10%, representing 21.0% and 15.8% of revenues.

Business Update

Our core strategy is to focus on growth market applications in end markets related to the “electrification of everything,” aerospace and industrial applications. The phrase “electrification of everything” refers to the shift from fossil fuels to the use of electricity to power devices, buildings, electric vehicles (“EVs”), and many other applications. With respect to aerospace, our systems are being used by our customers to produce ceramic matrix composite materials (“CMCs”) that will be used in next generation gas turbine jet engines with the objective of reducing jet fuel consumption and contributing to the decarbonization of that industry.

21

Our current strategy yielded multisystem orders of PVT150 equipment in 2023 and 2022 that was delivered to one company that manufactures silicon carbide wafers. Although we continue to invest in our vision for the “electrification of everything,” we have observed lower-than-anticipated industrywide electric vehicle adoption rates which may reduce demand for silicon carbide and impact sales of our PVT systems.

In February 2024, we received an order from an additional customer for our new PVT200 system used to grow silicon carbide crystals for the manufacture of 200 mm wafers. This represents our second customer for our PVT equipment. This customer plans to evaluate our equipment for potential additional purchases of PVT equipment. We have also received orders from OneD Battery Materials in 2023, a company that is engaged in providing battery nanomaterials.

Both technologies are essential for the support of the EV market. These systems should provide us with standard product offering to continue to support the EV focused market as well as energy storage, power conversion and power transmission. We plan to expand our product offerings in the power electronics market to build off the introduction of the PVT150 and PVT200 systems. We are also evaluating our ability to provide other equipment used in the manufacturing process of silicon carbide wafers.

During 2022, we also received an order from an aerospace company for a production chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) system that will be used to manufacture CMCs for gas turbine jet engines. In 2023, we received an order from the same aerospace company for an additional three CVI systems.

In February 2024, we received a multisystem order from an industrial customer for approximately $10 million that will be used for depositing a silicon carbide protective coating on OEM components.

We have generally gained new customers through our industry reputation, as well as limited print advertising and trade show attendance. We have increased the number of trade shows and industry conferences. In addition, we added to our sales and marketing team in 2022 and expanded our sales team in early 2023.

Historically, our orders have fluctuated based on end user market conditions, adoption of our new products and acceptance of our products. The order rate as well as other factors in our manufacturing process ultimately impacts the timing of revenue recognition, whether accounted for over time or at a point in time. Accordingly, orders received from customers and the corresponding revenue recognized may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The sales cycle for our equipment is typically six months, but can range up to twelve to eighteen months, depending on the application and product stage of the equipment. The order cycle to manufacture and test a system also will vary from six to eighteen months for our CVD Equipment segment and two to twelve months for our SDC segment, depending on system complexity and magnitude of the system.

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.3 million compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 25.2%.

The increase in revenue versus the prior year period was primarily attributable to higher revenue of $1.0 million from our CVD Equipment segment, a $0.5 million increase in revenue from our SDC segment, offset by a $0.3 million decrease from our CVD Materials segment. Revenue from one aerospace customer for the three months ended June 30, 2024 represented 35.2% of our total revenues and 54.3% of CVD Equipment segment revenues.

The revenue contributed by the CVD Equipment segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $4.1 million represented 64.8% of overall revenue as compared to $3.1 million or 61.8% of overall revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenues of $1.0 million or 31.0%% resulted principally due to increases in revenues from aerospace contracts in progress offset in part by lower revenue for PVT150 systems and spare parts.

The revenue contributed by the SDC segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $2.3 million represented 36.5% of overall revenue as compared to $1.8 million or 35.4% of overall revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for our SDC segment increased by $0.5 million or 30.0% due to higher demand for SDC’s gas and chemical delivery system products as compared to the prior period.

The revenue contributed by the CVD Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $55,000 represented 0.9% of our overall revenue as compared to $0.3 million or 6.7% of overall revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $0.3 million or 83.9% was principally due to the disposition of Tantaline in May 2023 and the wind down of MesoScribe’s operations.

Our order backlog at June 30, 2024 was approximately $24.0 million as compared to December 31, 2023 of $18.4 million. Our backlog at June 30, 2024 consists of approximately $21.6 million related to remaining performance obligations of contracts in progress and not yet started that will be recognized over time with the balance of approximately $2.4 million representing other orders received from customers. Historically, our revenues and orders have fluctuated based on changes in order rate as well as other factors in our manufacturing process that impact the timing of revenue recognition. Accordingly, orders received from customers and revenue recognized may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.6 million, with a gross profit margin of 25.4%, compared to a gross profit of $1.4 million and a gross profit margin of 27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in gross profit of $0.2 million was primarily due to higher revenues that was offset by a contract mix with lower gross margins as compared to the prior period.

Research and Development

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses were $0.7 million, or 10.5% of revenue as compared to $0.6 million, or 11.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.1 million or 18.9%. The increase in 2024 was due principally to a reduction of bonus accruals in the prior period quarter and a recruitment fee for a new engineer in the current quarter.

General engineering support and expenses related to the development of more standardized products and value-added development of existing products are reflected as part of research and development expense. General engineering support and expenses are charged to costs of goods sold when work is performed directly on a customer order.

Selling

Selling expenses were $0.4 million or 6.7% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $0.4 million or 8.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. There were no significant changes in selling expenses as compared to the prior period quarter.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.4 million or 22.3% of revenue compared to $1.4 million or 26.8% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $56,000 or 5.7%. The increase in 2024 was due principally to a reduction of bonus accruals in the prior period quarter offset by increases in consulting and recruitment fees in the current quarter.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company revised its estimated bonus accrual. This resulted in an adjustment of $0.2 million to reverse a portion of the 2024 bonus that was accrued as of March 31, 2023. The impact of this reversal on general administrative expense was a reduction of $0.1 million. The impact of this reversal also resulted in reductions of expenses for cost of revenue of $41,000, research and development of $56,000 and selling expenses of $24,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Loss on Disposition of Tantaline

This item represents the net loss on the sale of our Tantaline subsidiary including professional fees in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Impairment Charge

This item represents the loss on the impairment of certain assets of MesoScribe based on the decision at June 30, 2023 to dispose of the subsidiary.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Other income is principally interest income on treasury bills.

Income Taxes

We continue to evaluate the potential utilization of our deferred tax asset, which has been fully reserved for, on a quarterly basis, by reviewing our economic models, including projections of future operating results.

Revenue

Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $11.3 million compared to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 18.1%.

The decrease in revenue versus the prior year period was primarily attributable to lower revenues of $1.9 million from our CVD Equipment segment and $0.9 million from our CVD Materials segment, offset by a $0.1 million increase in revenue from our SDC segment,

Revenue from one aerospace customer for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented 32.8% of our total revenues and 52.3% of CVD Equipment segment revenues.

The revenue contributed by the CVD Equipment segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $7.1 million represented 62.6% of overall revenue as compared to $9.0 million or 65.2% of overall revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenues of $1.9 million or 21.4%% resulted principally due to lower PVT150 systems and revenue from spares and parts offset by increases in revenues from aerospace contracts in progress.

The revenue contributed by the SDC segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $4.2 million represented 37.7% of overall revenue as compared to $4.1 million or 29.8% of overall revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for our SDC segment increased by $0.1 million or 3.4% due to slightly higher demand for SDC’s gas and chemical delivery system products as compared to the prior period.

The revenue contributed by the CVD Materials segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $0.1 million represented 1.0% of our overall revenue as compared to $1.0 million or 7.3% of overall revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $0.9 million was principally due to the disposition of Tantaline in May 2023 and the wind down of MesoScribe’s operations.

27

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.5 million, with a gross profit margin of 21.9%, compared to a gross profit of $3.8 million and a gross profit margin of 27.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit of $1.4 million was primarily the result of lower revenue and a contract mix with lower gross margins as compared to the prior period.

Research and Development

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses were $1.4 million, or 12.5% of revenue as compared to $1.2 million, or 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.2 million or 21.4%. The increase in 2024 was the result of lower costs allocated to cost of revenue and a recruitment fee for a new engineer in the current year period.

General engineering support and expenses related to the development of more standardized products and value-added development of existing products are reflected as part of research and development expense. General engineering support and expenses are charged to costs of goods sold when work is performed directly on a customer order.

Selling

Selling expenses were $0.8 million or 7.5% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $0.8 million or 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. There were no significant changes in selling expenses as compared to the prior period.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.7 million or 24.3% of revenue compared to $3.0 million or 21.5% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease in expenses was principally due to lower salaries of $0.1 million due to sale of Tantaline, lower bonuses and commissions of $0.1 million and lower professional fees of $0.1 million, offset by higher stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million.

Loss on disposition of Tantaline

This item represents the net loss on the sale of our Tantaline subsidiary including professional fees.

Impairment Charge

This item represents the loss on the impairment of certain assets of MesoScribe based on the decision to dispose of the subsidiary.

28

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was $0.3 million for both six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Other income is principally interest income on treasury bills.

Income Taxes

We continue to evaluate the potential utilization of our deferred tax asset, which has been fully reserved for, on a quarterly basis, by reviewing our economic models, including projections of future operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, aggregate working capital was $12.7 million as compared to aggregate working capital of $14.3 million at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $10.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.8 million. This decrease was principally due to the net loss of $2.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $3.0 million, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million and non-cash items of $0.8 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of capital expenditures of $0.2 million related to purchases of equipment, building improvements and software.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of repayments of $40,000 for an equipment loan.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent positions and our projected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. We will continue to assess our operations and take actions anticipated to maintain our operating cash to support the working capital needs.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

29

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgments, estimates and assumptions and are considered critical accounting estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We design, manufacture, and sell custom chemical vapor deposition equipment through contractual agreements. These system sales require us to deliver functioning equipment that is generally completed within two to eighteen months from commencement of order acceptance. We recognize revenue over time by using an input method based on costs incurred as it depicts our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations.

Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work-in-process as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require us to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor, and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, we recognize the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated.

There exist many inherent risks and uncertainties in estimating revenues, expenses and progress toward completion, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. Changes in estimates of the total sales, related costs, and progress toward completion on such contracts may significantly impact the estimated gross margins, or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

30

Inventory Valuation

Inventories (raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods) are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its estimated net realizable value if less than cost. The Company evaluates usage requirements by analyzing historical usage, anticipated demand, alternative uses of materials, and other qualitative factors. Unanticipated changes in demand for the Company’s products may require a write down of inventory, which would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made. Any such charge could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured on the excess of it carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value. In the future, if we determine that our long-lived assets are impaired, we would be required to recognize a charge in our financial statements at the time of such determination. Any such charge could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 13d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”).

Based on that review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with others in our management, have determined that as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
