	Note 1: Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
	Organization – Cimetrix Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (Cimetrix or the Company) is a software engineering company that designs, develops, markets and supports factory connectivity and equipment control products for today’s smart, connected factories. The Company’s primary customers are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that supply precision electronics manufacturing equipment for semiconductor wafer fabrication and adjacent industries such as solar/photovoltaic (PV), high-brightness light-emitting diode (HB-LED), disk drive, flat panel displays, printed circuit boards, and other electronics manufacturing.
	Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimetrix Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cimetrix Japan K.K., Cimetrix Europe, Inc. and Cimetrix Data Management Solutions, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash – The Company considers all investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts Receivable – Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company offers credit terms on the sale of its products to a majority of its customers and requires no collateral from these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of all accounts receivable. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received.
	Inventories – Inventories, consisting of certain product licenses resold with the Company’s products, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first out (FIFO) method.
	Software Development Costs – Software development costs associated with software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility, defined as a working model or prototype, has been established. At that time, such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. To date, costs incurred between the completion of a working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has charged all such costs to research and development during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Research and Development - Research and development expenses include direct costs for wages, benefits, materials, and education of technical personnel involved in new product development.
	Patents and Copyrights - The Company has obtained a patent related to certain technology. In addition, the Company has registered most of its software system products with the Copyright Office of the United States and will continue to timely register any updates to current products or any new products. Generally, other than the patent and the copyright registrations, the Company relies on confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with its employees and customers, appropriate security measures, and the encoding of its software in order to protect the proprietary nature of its technology. No cost has been capitalized with respect to the patent.
	Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from one to seven years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the expected term of the related lease. Depreciable lives by asset group are as follows:
	Equipment	2-7 years
	Office equipment and software	1-7 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years
	Leasehold improvements	7 years
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss on disposition is reflected in net income or loss for the period.
	Goodwill – Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or when indicators of impairment exist. Impairment is recognized when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Since the Company has only one reporting unit, the goodwill carrying value is compared to the enterprise value as a whole. The annual evaluation of the Company’s goodwill resulted in no impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated cumulative expected undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or group of assets is less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair market value of the long-lived asset. No impairment loss was recognized in 2013 and 2012.
	Revenue Recognition – The Company derives revenues from two primary sources, software and professional services. Software revenues are reported in two categories, the sale of new software licenses and software license updates and product support. The Company has “off-the-shelf” software packages in the equipment control and factory connectivity product lines. Equipment Control products include items such as CIMControlFramework, CODE 6.0, CIMControl, and CIMulation. Factory Connectivity products include items such as CIM300, CIMConnect and CIMPortal. New software licenses include the sale of software development kits as well as the runtime license fees associated with deployment of the Company’s software products. Software license updates and product support are typically annual contracts with customers paid in advance, which provides the customer access to new software releases, maintenance releases, patches, and technical support personnel. Professional service sales are derived from services that provide customers with training and mentoring to assist them in using Cimetrix software products.
	Before the Company recognizes revenue, the following criteria must be met:
	1)    Evidence of a financial arrangement or agreement must exist between the Company and its customer. Purchase orders and signed OEM contracts are two examples of items accepted by the Company to meet this criterion.
	2)    Delivery of the products or services must have occurred. The Company treats either physical or electronic availability as having met this requirement. It is the policy of the Company to provide its customers a 30-day right to return. However, because the amount of returns has historically been insignificant, the Company recognizes revenue immediately upon transfer of both title and risk of loss to the customer upon delivery of the product. If the number of returns were to increase, the Company would establish a reserve based on a percentage of sales to account for any such returns.
	3)    The price of the products or services is fixed and measurable.
	4)    Collectability of the sale is reasonably assured and receipt is probable. Collectability of a sale is determined on a customer-by-customer basis. Typically, Cimetrix sells to large corporations which have demonstrated an ability to pay. If it is determined that a customer may not have the ability to pay, revenue is deferred until the payment is collected.
	The software component of the Company’s products is an integral part of its functionality. As such, the Company applies the provisions of the ASC Topic 985-605, Software - Revenue Recognition.
	The Company’s products are fully functional at the time of delivery. The software components of the Company’s products do not require significant production, modification, or customization. As such, revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that the criteria outlined above are met.
	Revenue related to professional services is recognized as services are performed if there is not an extended contract related to such services. If the services are provided pursuant to a contract that extends over a period of time, the revenue from services is recorded ratably over the contract period, generally using the percentage of completion method. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.
	For sales with a bundled package of new software licenses, software license updates, product support, and professional services, revenue is first allocated to software license updates and product support and professional service obligations at fair market value. The remaining amount is applied to new software license revenue. Assuming all of the above criteria have been met, revenue from the new software license portion of the package is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from material software license updates and product support contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is generally 12 months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as services are performed. Standard payment terms for sales are net 30 days for sales in the United States and net 45 to 60 days for foreign customers. On occasion, extended payment terms will be offered. If the Company provides payment terms greater than 90 days and collection is not reasonably assured, then revenues are generally recognized as payments are received.
	Income Taxes – As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. Key assumptions used in estimating a valuation allowance include potential future taxable income, projected income tax rates, expiration dates of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $17,105,000, that may be offset against future taxable income. Portions of the net operating loss carry forward expire at various times during the period from 2018 through 2034. Use of this net operating loss carry forward may also be limited in the event of substantial changes in the Company’s ownership. Based on the foregoing, at December 31, 2012, the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax asset was $7,686,000. Due to the Company’s historical lack of earnings, there was a valuation for this entire amount and the Company did not include this deferred tax asset on its December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	At December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated its historic and estimated future net income and determined the valuation of the deferred tax asset was $7,693,000 with a calculated a valuation allowance of $6,355,000. The change in the valuation allowance of $1,338,000 at December 31, 2013 has been reported as a component of the provision for income taxes (benefit) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and as change in value of the deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balances Sheets at December 31, 2013.
	If the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize the deferred tax asset in the future, the increase in the valuation allowance would decrease income in the period such determination was made. If the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.
	Advertising Costs – Advertising costs, including trade show participation, newsletters, press releases and sales literature, are expensed as incurred and totaled $42,000 and $39,000, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Liquidity and Capital Resources –As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,968,000 and total stockholders’ equity of $2,761,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company had current assets of $1,956,000, including cash of $887,000, and current liabilities of $507,000, resulting in a working capital of $1,449,000. For 2013, the Company reported income before taxes of $41,000 and net cash used in operating activities of $85,000. Management believes that its existing cash and available borrowings under the line of credit will be sufficient to fund planned operations for the next twelve months.  However, there can be no assurance that operations and operating cash flows will continue at the current levels. If the Company is unable to continue profitable operations and maintain positive operating cash flows, it may need to seek additional funding or be forced to scale back its development plans or to significantly reduce or terminate operations.
	Earnings Per Common Share – The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including unissued but vested restricted stock shares deemed as participating securities, during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for 2013 and 2012:
	Potentially dilutive securities representing approximately 4,376,000 and 3,929,000 shares of common stock at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Stock options	661,000	663,000
	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	46,092,000	46,381,000
	Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, Cimetrix provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.
	The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts. At times, the bank deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in its cash deposits.

	Revolving Bank Line of Credit - The Company and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of September 27, 2011. On September 26, 2012, the Company and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement. The First Amendment extended the maturity date of the Agreement to September 25, 2013. On October 1, 2013, the Company and the Bank entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement, effective September 25, 2013. The Second Amendment extended the maturity date of the Agreement to September 24, 2014, reduced the applicable interest rate and certain other fees associated with Agreement and increased the level of tangible net worth required to be maintained. Line of credit advances are available to the Company in accordance with a defined “Availability Amount”, based in part on qualifying accounts receivable, up to a maximum of $1 million. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus .75%, payable monthly. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all operating assets of the Company. Interest payments are payable on the first day of each month with all principal advances payable on the maturity date of the line of credit. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings against the line of credit.
	Under the line of credit agreement, the Company is required to comply with the following financial covenants:

Note 7: Stock-based Compensation	'
	Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award granted and recognized as expense using the straight-line method over the period in which the award is expected to vest, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.
	The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
	The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by calculating the average term from the historical stock option exercise experience. The volatility of the common stock is estimated by using historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero-coupon yields implied from U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the option pricing model.
	Stock-based compensation expense was included in the following captions within the consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as follows:
		Year Ended December 31, 2013	Year Ended December 31, 2012
	Cost of revenues	$24,000	$26,000
	Sales and marketing	14,000	9,000

	Impact on basic income per common share	$0.00	$0.00
	Impact on diluted income per common share	0.00	0.00
	As of December 31, 2013, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based awards not yet recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $264,000, and the weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 4.12 years.
	Stock Incentive Plan - In May 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved the combined amendment and restatement of the Cimetrix Incorporated 1998 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Cimetrix Incorporated Director Stock Option Plan as the Cimetrix 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In May 2011, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan to authorize an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock to be made available for awards. In addition to stock options, the Plan authorizes the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and other stock units and equity-based performance awards. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan was 626,000 at December 31, 2013.
	Stock Options – During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase 1,416,000 and 909,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock were issued to the Company’s employees, with exercise prices ranging from $0.13 to $0.15 and $0.12 to $0.19 per share, respectively. The Company estimated the grant-date fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
		2013	2012
	Expected dividend yield	0.00%	0.00%
	Expected stock price volatility	76.0% to 76.6%	76.31% to 77.87%
	Risk free interest rate	1.60% to 2.09%	1.02% to 1.60%
	Expected life of options	7.20 years to 7.40 years	6.63 years to 7.10 years
	The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.11 and $0.09, respectively.
	The following table summarizes the stock option activity during 2013:

If substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there would also be an annual limitation of the amount of the net operating loss carry forward which could be utilized.
	The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The Company classifies interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of income under general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
	The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards from the year ended December 31, 2008 through the year ended December 31, 2013 are subject to examination.

Note_1_Organization_and_Signif1

Note 1: Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Policies	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cimetrix Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cimetrix Japan K.K., Cimetrix Europe, Inc. and Cimetrix Data Management Solutions, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash	'
	Cash – The Company considers all investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable – Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company offers credit terms on the sale of its products to a majority of its customers and requires no collateral from these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of all accounts receivable. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received.
Inventories	'
	Inventories – Inventories, consisting of certain product licenses resold with the Company’s products, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first out (FIFO) method.
Software Development Costs	'
	Software Development Costs – Software development costs associated with software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility, defined as a working model or prototype, has been established. At that time, such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. To date, costs incurred between the completion of a working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has charged all such costs to research and development during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Research and Development	'
	Research and Development - Research and development expenses include direct costs for wages, benefits, materials, and education of technical personnel involved in new product development.
Patents and Copyrights	'
	Patents and Copyrights - The Company has obtained a patent related to certain technology. In addition, the Company has registered most of its software system products with the Copyright Office of the United States and will continue to timely register any updates to current products or any new products. Generally, other than the patent and the copyright registrations, the Company relies on confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with its employees and customers, appropriate security measures, and the encoding of its software in order to protect the proprietary nature of its technology. No cost has been capitalized with respect to the patent.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from one to seven years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the expected term of the related lease. Depreciable lives by asset group are as follows:
	Equipment	2-7 years
	Office equipment and software	1-7 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years
	Leasehold improvements	7 years
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss on disposition is reflected in net income or loss for the period.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill – Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or when indicators of impairment exist. Impairment is recognized when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Since the Company has only one reporting unit, the goodwill carrying value is compared to the enterprise value as a whole. The annual evaluation of the Company’s goodwill resulted in no impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated cumulative expected undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or group of assets is less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair market value of the long-lived asset. No impairment loss was recognized in 2013 and 2012.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition – The Company derives revenues from two primary sources, software and professional services. Software revenues are reported in two categories, the sale of new software licenses and software license updates and product support. The Company has “off-the-shelf” software packages in the equipment control and factory connectivity product lines. Equipment Control products include items such as CIMControlFramework, CODE 6.0, CIMControl, and CIMulation. Factory Connectivity products include items such as CIM300, CIMConnect and CIMPortal. New software licenses include the sale of software development kits as well as the runtime license fees associated with deployment of the Company’s software products. Software license updates and product support are typically annual contracts with customers paid in advance, which provides the customer access to new software releases, maintenance releases, patches, and technical support personnel. Professional service sales are derived from services that provide customers with training and mentoring to assist them in using Cimetrix software products.
	Before the Company recognizes revenue, the following criteria must be met:
	1)    Evidence of a financial arrangement or agreement must exist between the Company and its customer. Purchase orders and signed OEM contracts are two examples of items accepted by the Company to meet this criterion.
	2)    Delivery of the products or services must have occurred. The Company treats either physical or electronic availability as having met this requirement. It is the policy of the Company to provide its customers a 30-day right to return. However, because the amount of returns has historically been insignificant, the Company recognizes revenue immediately upon transfer of both title and risk of loss to the customer upon delivery of the product. If the number of returns were to increase, the Company would establish a reserve based on a percentage of sales to account for any such returns.
	3)    The price of the products or services is fixed and measurable.
	4)    Collectability of the sale is reasonably assured and receipt is probable. Collectability of a sale is determined on a customer-by-customer basis. Typically, Cimetrix sells to large corporations which have demonstrated an ability to pay. If it is determined that a customer may not have the ability to pay, revenue is deferred until the payment is collected.
	The software component of the Company’s products is an integral part of its functionality. As such, the Company applies the provisions of the ASC Topic 985-605, Software - Revenue Recognition.
	The Company’s products are fully functional at the time of delivery. The software components of the Company’s products do not require significant production, modification, or customization. As such, revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that the criteria outlined above are met.
	Revenue related to professional services is recognized as services are performed if there is not an extended contract related to such services. If the services are provided pursuant to a contract that extends over a period of time, the revenue from services is recorded ratably over the contract period, generally using the percentage of completion method. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.
	For sales with a bundled package of new software licenses, software license updates, product support, and professional services, revenue is first allocated to software license updates and product support and professional service obligations at fair market value. The remaining amount is applied to new software license revenue. Assuming all of the above criteria have been met, revenue from the new software license portion of the package is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from material software license updates and product support contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is generally 12 months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as services are performed. Standard payment terms for sales are net 30 days for sales in the United States and net 45 to 60 days for foreign customers. On occasion, extended payment terms will be offered. If the Company provides payment terms greater than 90 days and collection is not reasonably assured, then revenues are generally recognized as payments are received.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes – As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. Key assumptions used in estimating a valuation allowance include potential future taxable income, projected income tax rates, expiration dates of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $17,105,000, that may be offset against future taxable income. Portions of the net operating loss carry forward expire at various times during the period from 2018 through 2034. Use of this net operating loss carry forward may also be limited in the event of substantial changes in the Company’s ownership. Based on the foregoing, at December 31, 2012, the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax asset was $7,686,000. Due to the Company’s historical lack of earnings, there was a valuation for this entire amount and the Company did not include this deferred tax asset on its December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	At December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated its historic and estimated future net income and determined the valuation of the deferred tax asset was $7,693,000 with a calculated a valuation allowance of $6,355,000. The change in the valuation allowance of $1,338,000 at December 31, 2013 has been reported as a component of the provision for income taxes (benefit) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and as change in value of the deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balances Sheets at December 31, 2013.
	If the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize the deferred tax asset in the future, the increase in the valuation allowance would decrease income in the period such determination was made. If the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs – Advertising costs, including trade show participation, newsletters, press releases and sales literature, are expensed as incurred and totaled $42,000 and $39,000, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources	'
	Liquidity and Capital Resources –As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,968,000 and total stockholders’ equity of $2,761,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company had current assets of $1,956,000, including cash of $887,000, and current liabilities of $507,000, resulting in a working capital of $1,449,000. For 2013, the Company reported income before taxes of $41,000 and net cash used in operating activities of $85,000. Management believes that its existing cash and available borrowings under the line of credit will be sufficient to fund planned operations for the next twelve months.  However, there can be no assurance that operations and operating cash flows will continue at the current levels. If the Company is unable to continue profitable operations and maintain positive operating cash flows, it may need to seek additional funding or be forced to scale back its development plans or to significantly reduce or terminate operations.
Earnings Per Common Share	'
	Earnings Per Common Share – The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including unissued but vested restricted stock shares deemed as participating securities, during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for 2013 and 2012:
	Potentially dilutive securities representing approximately 4,376,000 and 3,929,000 shares of common stock at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
		31-Dec-13	31-Dec-12
	Numerator:
	Net income	$1,382,000	$68,000
	Denominator:
	Basic weighted average shares outstanding	45,431,000	45,718,000
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Stock options	661,000	663,000
	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	46,092,000	46,381,000
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, Cimetrix provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.
