Item 1. Description of Business.

The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to CVD Equipment Corporation, a New York corporation incorporated on October 13, 1982, and its subsidiary, except where the context otherwise requires.

We design, develop and manufacture customized state-of-the-art equipment and process solutions used to develop and manufacture solar, nano and advanced electronic components, materials and coatings for research and industrial applications, with the focus on enabling tomorrow’s technologies™. We offer a broad range of chemical vapor deposition, gas control and other equipment that is used by our customers to research, design and manufacture semiconductors, solar cells, smart glass, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, LEDs, MEMS and industrial coatings, as well as equipment for surface mounting of components onto printed circuit boards. Through our Application Laboratory, we provide process development support and process startup assistance. Our proprietary products are generally customized to meet the particular specifications of individual customers and to accelerate the commercialization of their proprietary intellectual property. We also offer a number of standardized products that are based on the expertise and know-how we have developed in designing and manufacturing our customized products.

Based on more than 27 years of experience, we use our engineering, manufacturing and process development to transform our customers’ proprietary technology into leading-edge manufacturing solutions. This enables university, research and industrial scientists at the cutting edge of technology to develop next generation solar, nano, LEDs, semiconductors and other electronic components. We also develop and manufacture research and production equipment based on our proprietary designs. We have built a significant library of design expertise, know-how and innovative solutions to assist our customers in developing these intricate processes and to accelerate their commercialization. This library of solutions, along with our vertically integrated manufacturing facilities, allows us to provide superior design, process and manufacturing solutions to our customers on a cost effective basis.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we began to implement a strategy to target opportunities in the research and development and production equipment market, with a focus on higher-growth applications such as solar and smart glass coatings, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, MEMS and LEDs. To expand our penetration into these growth markets, we started to introduce a line of proprietary standard products and systems. Historically, we manufactured products on a custom one-at-a-time basis to meet an individual customer’s specific research requirements. Our new proprietary systems leverage the technological expertise that we have developed through designing these custom systems onto a standardized basic core. This core is easily adapted through a broad array of available add-on options to meet the diverse product and budgetary requirements of the research community. By manufacturing the basic core of these systems in higher volumes, we are able to reduce both the cost and delivery time for our systems. These systems, which we market and sell under the “EasyTube” product line, are sold to researchers at universities, research laboratories, and startup companies in the United States and throughout the world. In addition, we are focusing on developing and marketing proprietary solutions for high volume production equipment in the photovoltaic energy generation and passive energy saving (smart glass) markets.

Sales of our proprietary standard, custom systems and process solutions have been driven by building on the success of our installed customer base, which includes several Fortune 500 companies. Historically, revenues have grown primarily through sales to existing customers with additional capacity needs or new requirements, as well as to new customers. However, with the recent addition of proprietary solutions and our expanded focus on “accelerating the commercialization of tomorrow’s technologies” we are now also developing an additional customer base. We have generally gained new customers through word of mouth, the movement of personnel from one company to another, limited print advertising and trade show attendance. We are now also gaining new customers by awareness of our company in the marketplace with results from our Application Laboratory, partnerships with startup companies, increased participation in trade shows and expanded internet advertising.

The core competencies we have developed in equipment and software design, as well as in systems manufacturing and process solutions, are used to engineer our finished products and to accelerate the commercialization path of our customer base. Our proprietary Windows-based, real-time, software application allows for rapid configuration, and provides our customers with powerful tools to understand, optimize and repeatedly control their processes. Our vertically integrated structure allows us to control the manufacturing process, from bringing raw metal and components into our manufacturing facilities to shipping out finished products. These factors significantly reduce cost, improve quality and reduce the time it takes from customer order to shipment of our products. Our recently expanded Application Laboratory allows selected customers to bring up their process tools in our Application Laboratory and to work together with our scientists and engineers to optimize process performance.

We conduct our operations through three divisions: (1) CVD, which includes our First Nano product line (“CVD/First Nano”); (2) Stainless Design Concept (“SDC”); and (3) Conceptronic, including the Research International product line (“Conceptronic/Research”). Each division operates on a day-to-day basis with its own operating manager while product development, sales and administration are managed at the corporate level.

Operating Divisions

CVD/First Nano is a supplier of state-of-the-art chemical vapor deposition systems for use in the research, development and manufacturing of semiconductors, LEDs, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, solar cells and a number of industrial applications. We utilize our expertise in the design and manufacture of chemical vapor deposition systems to work with laboratory scientists to bring state-of-the-art processes from the research laboratory into production, as well as to provide production equipment and process solutions based on our designs. CVD/First Nano also operates our Application Laboratory in a separate building where our personnel interact effectively with the scientists and engineers of our customer base.

SDC designs and manufactures ultra-high purity gas and chemical delivery control systems for state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication processes, solar cells, LEDs, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, and a number of industrial applications. Our SDC products are sold on a stand-alone basis, as well as together with our CVD/First Nano systems. SDC operates out of a 22,000 square foot facility fitted with Class 10 and Class 100 clean room manufacturing space located in Saugerties, New York.

Conceptronic/Research designs and manufactures reflow ovens and rework stations for the printed circuit board assembly and semi-conductor packaging industries. Our equipment is designed to melt solder in a controlled process to form superior connections between components. This, in turn, creates complete electronic circuits for computers and telecommunication systems, as well as for the automotive and defense industries. To address pricing pressure in what is now a mature industry for standardized reflow ovens and the current economic downturn, we have begun to offer customized products for complex heating and drying applications.

Principal Products

Chemical Vapor Deposition - A process which passes a gaseous compound over a target material surface that is heated to such a degree that the compound decomposes and deposits a desired layer onto substrate material. The process is accomplished by combining appropriate gases in a reaction chamber, of the kind produced by the Company, at elevated temperatures (typically 300-1,800 degrees Celsius). Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are complete and include all necessary instrumentation, subsystems and components and include state-of-the-art process control software. We provide both standard and specifically engineered products for particular customer applications. Some of the standard systems we offer are for Silicon, Silicon-Germanium, Silicon Dioxide, Silicon Nitride, Polysilicon, Liquid Phase Epitaxial, Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition, Carbon Nanotubes and Nanowires, Solar Cell research and Solar material quality control.

Our Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are available in a variety of models that can be used in laboratory research and production. All models are offered with total system automation, a microprocessor control system by which the user can measure, predict and regulate gas flow, temperature, pressure and chemical reaction rates, thus controlling the process in order to enhance the quality of the materials produced. Our standard microprocessor control system is extremely versatile and capable of supporting the complete product line and most custom system requirements. These Chemical Vapor Deposition systems are typically priced between $80,000 and $1,000,000.

Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition Systems (“APCVD”). We currently have two patents pending for a proprietary smart glass coating system family which are being marketed under the trademark “CVDgCoat™” and are being developed for On-Line use with a float glass system, and Off-Line use to manufacture Low-E glass for energy efficient windows and transparent conductive oxide coatings (“TCO”) for solar cell manufacturing. System pricing including CVDgCoat™ technology can exceed $10,000,000.

Rapid Thermal Processing (“RTP”) - Used to heat semiconductor materials to elevated temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius at rapid rates of up to 200 degrees Celsius per second. Our RTP systems are offered for implant activation, oxidation, silicide formation and many other processes. We offer systems that can operate both at atmospheric or reduced pressures. Our RTP systems are priced up to $600,000.

Annealing and Diffusion Furnaces - Used for diffusion, oxidation, implant anneal, solder reflow, solar cell manufacturing and other processes. The systems are normally operated at atmospheric and/or reduced pressure with gaseous atmospheres related to the process. An optional feature of the system allows for the heating element to be moved away from the process chamber allowing the wafers to rapidly cool or be heated in a controlled environment. Our cascade temperature control system enables more precise control of the wafers. The systems are equipped with an automatic process controller, permitting automatic process sequencing and monitoring with safety alarm provisions. Our annealing and diffusion furnace systems are priced up to $900,000.

Ultra-high Purity Gas and Liquid Control Systems - Our standard and custom designed gas and liquid control systems, which encompass, gas cylinder storage cabinets, custom gas and chemical delivery systems, gas and liquid valve manifold boxes and gas isolation boxes, provide safe storage and handling of pressurized gases and chemicals. Our system design allows for automatic or manual control from both a local and remote location. A customer order often includes multiple systems and can total up to $1,000,000.

Quartz ware - We provide standard and custom fabricated quartz ware used in our equipment and other customer tools. We also provide repair and replacement of existing quartz ware.

Convection Furnaces – We provide proprietary reflow ovens used by the printed circuit board assembly and semiconductor packaging industries.

Reflow Furnaces and Rework Stations – We provide standard and custom systems for the printed circuit board and surface mount technology industries. Our equipment is designed to melt solder in a controlled process to form superior connections between components, creating complete electronic circuits for computers and telecommunication systems, as well as for the automotive and defense industries.

Markets and Marketing

Due to the highly technical nature of our products, we believe it is essential to contact customers directly through our sales personnel and through a network of domestic and international independent sale representatives and distributors specializing in the type of equipment we sell. Our primary marketing activities include direct sales contacts, participation in trade shows and our internet websites. We are focusing our efforts on being in the top listings on many search engines in order to increase the number of “hits” to our websites.

Customers

We are continuing to work on expanding our product offerings. Many of these products are used in research and in production applications. We sell our products primarily to semiconductor manufacturers, institutions involved in semiconductor and electronic component research (such as universities, government and industrial laboratories) and to electronic assembly manufacturers. We have both an international and domestic installed customer base of approximately 200 customers to whom we have sold systems within the last three years.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 approximately 14% of our revenues were generated from foreign exports compared to 23% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Revenue to a single customer in any one year can exceed 10.0% of our total sales; however, we are not dependent on any single customer. In fiscal year 2009, one customer represented 9.2%, another customer represented 8.8% and each of two customers represented 5.3% and 5.2% of our annual revenues. In fiscal year 2008, one customer represented 7.3% and each of two customers represented 5.7% and 5.0% of our annual revenues.

Warranties

We warrant our equipment for a period of twelve to twenty four months after shipment, depending on the product, and pass along any warranties from original manufacturers of components used in our products. We provide for our own equipment servicing with in-house field service personnel. Warranty costs, including those incurred in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, have been historically insignificant and expensed as incurred.

Competition

We are subject to intense competition. We are aware of other competitors that offer a substantial number of products and services comparable to ours. Many of our competitors (including customers who may elect to manufacture systems for internal use) have financial, marketing and other resources greater than ours. To date, we believe that each one of our three operating divisions has been able to compete in markets that include these competitors, primarily on the basis of technical performance, quality, delivery and price.

CVD/First Nano competes primarily with in-house design and engineering personnel at research and university laboratories with the capacity to design and build their own equipment internally. Due to budgetary and funding constraints, many of these customers are extremely price sensitive. CVD/First Nano also competes with companies that have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources to develop new products and support customers worldwide, as well as smaller competitors. We believe that our systems are among the most advanced available for the targeted market space.

SDC competes with companies that are larger than our company and have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. We believe that SDC’s gas management and chemical delivery control systems are among the most advanced available. We further believe that SDC is differentiated from our competitors through our intimate understanding of how the systems in which our products are incorporated are actually used in field applications. We have gained this understanding as a result of having designed and built complex process gas systems for CVD/First Nano as well as for a number of the world’s leading semiconductor and solar manufacturers, research laboratories and universities.

Conceptronic/Research’s proprietary reflow ovens and rework stations are used by the printed circuit board assembly and semiconductor packaging industries. Conceptronic/Research also offers customized products for complex applications within the printed circuit board and other industries that use conveyor-type ovens in heating and drying applications. Our in-house design and engineering personnel develop leading edge technology for sale at competitive prices. Conceptronic/Research competes with companies that are larger than our company and have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. We believe that our reflow ovens and rework stations are among the most advanced available having leveraged our experience in designing and building customized products for our customers.

Sources of Supply

We do not manufacture many components used in producing our products. Most of these components are purchased from unrelated suppliers. We have some OEM supply contracts covering a selection of these components, although we are not dependent on a principal or major supplier and alternate suppliers are available. Subject to lead times, the components and raw materials we use in manufacturing our products are readily obtainable.

We have a fully equipped machine shop that we use to fabricate in-house most of the metal components, including the most complex designed parts of our equipment. Our investment in (CNC) machines for our machine shop has increased our efficiencies while significantly reducing costs in production. Similarly, our quartz fabrication capability is sufficient to meet our quartz ware needs.

Materials procured from the outside and/or manufactured internally undergo a rigorous quality control process to ensure that the parts meet or exceed our requirements and those of our customers. Upon final assembly, all equipment undergoes a final series of complete testing to ensure maximum product performance.

Backlog

As of December 31, 2009 our order backlog was approximately $2,549,000 compared to approximately $15,271,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $12,722,000 or 83.3%. The decrease is primarily attributed to the terminated contract with a customer which was included in our backlog at December 31, 2008. (See Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations). The timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years. Included in the backlog are all accepted purchase orders with the exception of those that are included in our percentage-of-completion. Order backlog is usually a reasonable management tool to indicate expected revenues and projected profits, however it does not provide an assurance of future achievement or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.

Intellectual Property

Our success is dependent in part on our technology and other proprietary rights. We have historically protected our proprietary information and intellectual property such as design specifications, blueprints, technical processes and employee know-how through the use of non-disclosure agreements. In addition, we began to file for patent protection and began to use trademarks for proprietary novel solutions that have the potential to become standard products and can be sold to multiple customers. We also maintain and/or assert rights in certain trademarks relating to certain of our products and product lines, and claim copyright protection for certain proprietary software and documentation.

While patent, copyright and trademark protection for our intellectual property are important to different degrees for our various products and solutions, we believe our future success in highly dynamic markets is most dependent upon the technical competence and creative skills of our personnel and our ability to accelerate the commercialization of next generation intellectual properties. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through non-disclosure agreements with our customers, suppliers, employees and consultants through other security measures.

Research and Development

The university research community is at the forefront of nanotechnology research, and we are focused on providing state-of-the-art systems to this market that will help bridge the gap between pioneering research and marketable products. Our Application Laboratory, together with a number of leading universities and startup companies, with whom we partner from time to time, conducts cutting-edge research on the growth of carbon nanotubes and nanowires as well as on selected solar cell manufacturing processes and smart glass coating processes. The results of this research could have far reaching implications concerning the use and manufacture of carbon nanotubes and nanowires, solar cell and smart glass for many markets. Our intention is that together we will leverage our collective expertise in this field, which will allow us to capitalize on commercial opportunities in the future. This relationship has thus far produced leading edge results, including what we believe are the tallest carbon nanotube arrays yet developed.

We have also begun to address the markets for Solar and Smart Glass for Low-E and Photovoltaics with the filing of patent applications and with the introduction of proprietary products so that we may meet the needs of these significant markets.

The amount spent on research and development was approximately $757,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 (7.2% of revenue) and $700,000 for the year ending December 31, 2008 (3.9% of revenue).

Government Regulation

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local government regulations, such as environmental, labor and export control. We believe that we have obtained all necessary permits to operate our business and that we are in material compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to us.

We are not aware of any government regulations or requirements necessary for the sale of our products, other than certain approvals or permits which may be required for us to export certain of our products to certain foreign countries

Insurance

Some of our products are used in connection with explosive, flammable, corrosive and toxic gases. There are potential exposures to personal injury as well as property damage, particularly if operated without regard to the design limits of the systems and components. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate. We have the following types of insurance coverage:

	·	Product liability
	·	Property and contents
	·	General liability
	·	Directors and officers
	·	Transportation
	·	Business auto
	·	General Umbrella
	·	Workers compensation
	·	Employee benefits liability

Employees

At December 31, 2009 we had 124 employees, 122 of which were full time personnel and 2 were part time. We had 59 people in manufacturing, 37 in engineering (including research and development and efforts related to product improvement) 4 in field service, 6 in sales and marketing and 18 in general management and administration.

Item 2. Description of Property.

We maintain our headquarters at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, where we own a 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility which we purchased in March, 2002. The purchase price for the property was $2,161,875. In addition we incurred $1,283,077 of renovations. We financed $2,700,000 of the total purchase price and the costs associated with the renovation. The financing consisted of a loan secured by a mortgage held by GE Capital Public Finance Inc. subject to an installment sale agreement with the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency. Payments are based upon a 15 year amortization schedule. Interest is fixed at a rate of 5.67%. Our CVD/First Nano and Conceptronic/Research divisions operate out of this facility.

Our SDC division operates out of a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility situated on five acres of land which we purchased in December 1998 and is located at 1117 Kings Highway, Saugerties, New York. The property was purchased from Kidco Realty Corp. The purchase price for the property was $1,400,000. We financed $900,000 of the purchase price. On June 30, 2008, we entered into a consolidation, Extension and Modification Agreement and Consolidated and Restated Mortgage note each with Capital One, N.A. The agreement consolidated various notes and mortgages into a single note in the principal sum of $805,000 of which approximately $17,000 represented additional borrowings incurred by the Company. Principal and interest payments are made in 119 equal consecutive monthly installments of $5,903.27, with a final balloon payment being due on July 1, 2018 equal to the remaining unpaid principal on the maturity date. The principal sum bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.2%.1

The Application Laboratory operates out of a 13,300 square foot facility located at 979 Marconi Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779 that was purchased from HPG Realty Co., LLC. The total purchase price for the property was $2,015,000. We financed approximately $1,500,000 of the purchase price. The financing consists of two loans secured by mortgages, both of which are held by Capital One, N.A. Payments upon each of the mortgages are based upon a 20-year amortization schedule, with a 10-year balloon. Interest on the $1 million mortgage is fixed at a rate of 5.67% for 10 years. Interest on the $500,000 mortgage is fixed at a rate of 3.67% for the first four years and will be adjusted for the 6 year period beginning March 1, 2012 to 200 basis points above the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 6 years, until maturity on March 1, 2018.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On September 18, 2007 a settlement was reached between us and PrecisionFlow Technologies, Inc. of the pending litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, all claims and counterclaims asserted by the parties in previously filed lawsuits were discontinued in consideration of which we will receive payments totaling $541,600 to be paid over a specific timetable as defined. As of December 31, 2009, we have received $458,300.

In June 2008, we commenced an action against a third party in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Suffolk County. By that action, we sought to recover $154,161 for manufacturing engineering services and system fabrication; spare parts; and reimbursable expenses. Subsequently, the defendant removed the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Once in Federal Court, the customer asserted various counterclaims. A settlement of the actions was agreed to in late 2009 and executed in February 2010.

On January 26, 2010 we commenced an action against Taiwan Glass Industrial Corp. and Mizuho Corporate Bank in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. By that action, we seek monetary damages ($5,816,000) for breach of contract against Taiwan Glass Industrial Corp. and against Mizuho Corporate Bank for failing to pay the second installment on a letter of credit issued by Mizuho Corporate Bank on behalf of TG calling for payment of drafts presented upon shipment of the equipment. The contract was breached by the customer’s failure to accept and pay for the specially manufactured equipment shipped on November 27, 2009. Under the terms of the contract, we believe the customer improperly rejected the equipment. Mizuho Corporate Bank has denied the allegations and Taiwan Glass Industrial Corp. has not yet responded to our complaint, but it has claimed that we must pay them $3,564,000 for alleged breach of contract. We are vigorously pursuing our claims.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $10,575,000 compared to approximately $18,147,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing a decrease of 41.7%. The decline in revenue of $7,572,000 was principally due to (i) delays or reductions in capital expenditures by potential customers due to unfavorable economic conditions and (ii) a significant contract from a CVD division customer being breached during the fourth quarter of 2009 that was previously accounted for under the percentage of completion contract method of revenue recognition. We claim the customer breached the contract due to the customer’s failure to accept and pay for the specially manufactured equipment shipped on November 27, 2009. Under the terms of the contract, we believe we are entitled to retain the initial 30% payment of $3,564,000 received and that the customer had no legal basis to unilaterally refuse delivery of the equipment. As such we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 26, 2010 seeking monetary damages ($5,816,000) for breach of contract against the customer, Taiwan Glass Industrial Corp. (“TG”), and Mizuho Corporate Bank for failing to pay the second installment on a letter of credit issued by Mizuho Corporate Bank on behalf of TG. As of the date of this Report on Form 10-K, TG has not responded to our complaint; however it has claimed that we must pay them $3,564,000 for alleged breach of contract.

The accounting treatment we applied to this situation was to unwind the contract since, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America we could not recognize the revenue from this contract. By unwinding the contract, we recorded the sum of the retained initial payment ($3,564,000) and the estimated lower of cost or market basis of the returned equipment ($1,150,000) as an offset to the production costs of the specially manufactured equipment ($4,027,000) accumulated through the date the contract was breached. The effect of unwinding the contract in the fourth quarter of 2009 was to reduce CVD division revenue by $3,564,000 and our cost of revenue by $4,714,000.

Total revenue generated from the CVD division amounted to $7,516,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $10,779,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The reduction in revenue of $3,263,000 was primarily attributed to the negative impact from the breached contract.

Total revenue from the SDC division decreased by approximately $2,599,000 to $2,166,000 which represents 20.5% of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4,765,000, or 26.3% of our total revenue for the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily attributed to unfavorable economic conditions.

Total revenue from the Conceptronic division decreased by approximately $1,710,000 to $893,000 which represents 8.4% of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,603,000 or 14.3% of our total revenue for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue in the Conceptronic division is also attributed to unfavorable economic conditions.

Gross Profit

Overall gross profit amounted to approximately $4,820,000 with a gross profit margin of 45.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The termination of the TG contract had a positive impact on our overall gross profit margin of approximately19.7% in 2009. Had the TG contract not been breached in December 2009 the overall gross profit would have amounted to $3,669,000 with a gross profit margin of 25.9% compared to a gross profit for the year ending December 31, 2008 of $5,373,000 and a gross profit margin of 29.6%. We began to reduce engineering and production personnel during the latter half of 2009 in order to better maintain higher gross margin levels. As a result of the breach in the TG contract, the gross profit margin of the CVD division increased to 53.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Had that contract not been breached, the gross profit margin for the CVD division would have been 26.2% compared to 31.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Substantially all of the aforementioned reductions in engineering and production personnel were made in the CVD division. The SDC division’s gross profit margin decreased to 21.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 33.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily the effect of fixed costs having a greater impact on reduced revenues. The Conceptronic division’s gross profit margin decreased to 10.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 12.4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 as result of that division’s fixed costs having a greater impact on the reduced revenues.

Presented below is a table which reconciles revenue, cost of sales, gross profit and gross profit percent for the Company and the CVD Division on a pro forma basis if we were permitted to recognize the revenue under the TG contract in the fourth quarter of 2009:

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling and shipping expenses were approximately $699,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $767,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $3,817,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009. This was a decrease of approximately $329,000 or 7.9% compared to approximately $4,146,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease can be attributed to a combination of decreased payroll and benefit costs, workers compensation insurance costs, legal, accounting and employee search costs.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $304,000 compared to approximately $461,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Interest Expense. Net

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $33,000 compared to approximately $107,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease is a result of the continued use of cash and cash equivalents to fund the working capital needs of the Company in 2009.

We incurred approximately $249,000 of interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2009, which was approximately $20,000 or 8.7% greater than the $229,000 incurred in the year ended December 31, 2008. The only interest expense we incur is mortgage interest on the three buildings we own and interest on certain outstanding equipment loans. The increase in 2009 is primarily due to the full year of interest expense, on the acquisition of the facility at 979 Marconi Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York in 2008.

Loss on Impairment

In 2006, we sold equipment at the selling price of $251,130 to a customer for a purchase price of 104,482 shares of a non-public company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share. We had the option to demand that the customer make a cash payment i.e.: $251,130 for the equipment, the amount that would have been required had the customer made cash payment for the equipment on July 19, 2006 in exchange for the return of said stock.

On February 19, 2008, we exercised our cash payment option demanding the cash payment of $251,130. The customer did not make payment and we took possession of said equipment.

As of December 31, 2008, we deemed this investment as other-than temporarily impaired which resulted in a charge to the statement of operations totaling its full value of $251,130 and is reflected as a loss on impairment in the other income (expense) caption.

Other Income

Other income for the current year decreased to approximately $43,000, a decrease of $146,000 or 77.2% compared to $189,000 of other income generated during the year end December 31, 2008. In 2008, we received refunds for prior year’s overpayment of income taxes.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing factors, for the year ended December 31, 2009, our net income amounted to approximately $179,000, as compared to $632,000 for the same period in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had aggregate working capital of approximately $10,563,000 compared to aggregate working capital of $9,849,000 at December 31, 2008 and had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,120,000 compared to approximately $5,721,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to a decrease in customer deposits ($3,564,000), the funds received under the breached contract with TG, offset by the decrease in cash ($2,602,000), which was used to fund operations.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts decreased by approximately $512,000 or 19.4% at December 31, 2009 to $2,130,000 compared to $2,643,000 at December 31, 2008. This decrease is principally due to the timing of shipments and customer payments.

Inventory as of December 31, 2009 was approximately $4,418,000 representing an increase of approximately $1,126,000 or 34.2% over the inventory balance of $3,292,000 as of December 31, 2008. This increase is principally due to the reacquisition of certain inventories derived from the unwinding of the TG contract during the fourth quarter of 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, our backlog was approximately $2,549,000, a decrease of $12,722,000 or 83.3% compared to $15,271,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily attributed to the removal from our backlog of the anticipated value of the contract with TG which was included in our backlog at December 31, 2008. The timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years. Included in the backlog are all accepted purchase orders with the exception of those; that are included in our percentage-of-completion. Order backlog is usually a reasonable management tool to indicate expected revenues and projected profits, however it does not provide an assurance of future achievement or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.

On April 22, 2008, we entered into a three year Modified and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with Capital One, N.A. (the “Bank”) as successor to North Fork Bank, pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to make revolving loans to us of up to $5 million until May 1, 2011, at which time it will be subject to renewal. The loan agreement amends and supersedes our previous $2 million revolving credit facility with the Bank. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% or (ii) the Bank’s prime rate minus ..25%. This agreement contains certain financial and other covenants. Borrowings are collateralized by our assets.

The amount available under this agreement was approximately $4,646,000 and $941,000 as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively.We initially utilized $500,000 of this facility in the form of equipment term loans, of which $354,000 remain as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008 $3,564,000 was being held as collateral for an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit that was issued to a customer that placed a cash deposit with us for that same amount. As of December 31, 2009, we are in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

In March, 2002, we received from General Electric Capital Corporation a $2,700,000 mortgage loan, secured by the real property and building and improvements to finance and improve our facility in Ronkonkoma, New York. The mortgage loan, which has an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2009 of $1,586,666, is payable in equal monthly installments of $22,285 including interest at 5.67% per annum; pursuant to an industrial development bond purchase agreement with the town of Islip Industrial Development Agency. The final payment is due March 2017.

On June 30, 2008, we entered into a Consolidation, Extension and Modification Agreement and Consolidated and Restated Mortgage note each with Capital One, N.A. The agreement consolidated various notes and mortgages relating to the property and building in Saugerties, New York into a single note in the principal sum of $805,000 of which approximately $17,000 represented additional borrowings we incurred. Principal and interest payments are to be made in equal consecutive monthly installments of $5,903.27 commencing on August 1, 2008 and continuing for 119 months, with a final balloon payment being due on July 1, 2018 equal to the remaining unpaid principal on the maturity date. The principal sum bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.20%. The Note is secured by a first priority mortgage lien on the property in Saugerties, New York, all of the Company’s monies, deposits or other sums held by the Bank on deposit, an assignment of the leases and rents from the premises, a lien on our personal property, and $500,000 of the proceeds of a life insurance policy which is owned by us and issued on the life of our Chief Executive Officer, Leonard A. Rosenbaum.

In 2009 order levels for all divisions decreased due to unfavorable economic conditions. We do not anticipate this trend will continue into 2010.

The large demand for energy savings, energy generation materials and products needed to address rising energy costs creates a growing demand for manufacturing solutions using thin film coatings on glass, wafers and other substrates. Using our Application Laboratory, we will perfect and expand the multiple areas where low cost thin film manufacturing solutions can be applied and further optimize our proprietary and patent pending technologies for cost and performance. The solar, energy and power semiconductor markets we are addressing with multiple products have significant growth opportunities for technologies that deliver favorable cost benefits. These fields should benefit further from a renewed drive for energy savings and generation driven by President Obama’s administration.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we decided to significantly broaden the First Nano product line and pursue a significantly larger share of the R & D market with additional equipment platforms under the First Nano brand name. In 2007, we began marketing, manufacturing and selling these products. In 2008, we expanded our marketplace to include the quality control and research market of the photovoltaic solar cell manufacturing industry. We feel comfortable we will continue to be successful with these multiple new products as well as additional new products to be offered as their design is based on building blocks we have used in previous systems over the years.

To support the increase in our existing product sales and the development and sales of the new First Nano and patent pending proprietary products, we purchased on February 8, 2008, a 13,300 square foot stand-alone building to house our Application Laboratory.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent positions, cash flow from operations and our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as revenues on long-term contracts recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax provisions and product warranties.

Revenue Recognition

We continue to recognize revenues and income using the percentage-of-completion method for custom production-type contracts while revenues from other products are recorded when such products are accepted and shipped. Profits on custom production-type contracts are recorded on the basis of our total estimated costs over the percentage of total costs incurred on individual contracts, commencing, when progress reaches a point where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 718, "Stock Compensation" using the modified prospective method. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of these awards.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of ASC 360-10-35 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value. The Company had no recorded long-lived asset impairment charges in the statement of operations during each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of the Company, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with the management of the Company, have determined that as of December 31, 2009, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) of the Exchange Act). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established by the COSO Internal Control Framework.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee that consists of Conrad Gunther, Alan H. Temple Jr. and Bruce T. Swan. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Audit Committee held five meetings. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for us, and each such independent auditor shall report directly to the Committee. The Audit Committee also reviews with management and the independent auditors, our annual audited financial statements, the scope and results of annual audits and the audit and non-audit fees of the independent registered public accounting firm. Furthermore, the Audit Committee reviews the adequacy of our internal control procedures, the structure of our financial organization and the implementation of our financial and accounting policies. Messrs. Gunther, Temple and Swan meet the independence requirements for audit committee membership under the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Board of Directors has determined that Conrad Gunther is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require us to disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership and changes in stock ownership by our directors, officers and ten percent stockholders. To our knowledge, based solely on our review of (a) the copies of such reports and amendments thereto furnished to us and (b) written representations that no other reports were required, during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all of the filings for our officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were made on a timely basis.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth the compensation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, our “named executive officers,” for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company has no executive officers other than the “named executive officers.”

Leonard A. Rosenbaum President and Chief Executive Officer	2009 2008	202,742 169,001	- 25,000	14,655(2) 41,332(2)	- 77,000	217,397 312,333
Glen R. Charles Secretary and Chief Financial Officer	2009 2008	135,000 147,644	- -	2,531(3) 5,063(3)	- -	137,531 152,707

Vice President of Business Development	2008	162,000	-	30,500	-	192,500

(1)

Amounts shown do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officer. Instead, the amounts shown are the compensation costs recognized by CVD in fiscal 2009 and 2008 for option awards as determined pursuant to ASC 718. These compensation costs reflect option awards granted prior to fiscal 2009 and 2008. The assumptions used to calculate the value of option awards are set forth under Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. This column represents the grant date fair value of the awards as calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (Stock Compensation). Pursuant to SEC rule changes effective February 28, 2010, we are required to reflect the total grant date fair values of the option grants in the year of grant, rather than the portion of this amount that was recognized for financial statement reporting purposes in a given fiscal year which was required under the prior SEC rules, resulting in a change to the amounts reported in prior Annual Reports.

(2)

A portion of the amount shown is attributable to non-qualified stock options to purchase 24,000 shares of the Company’s common stock granted to Mr. Rosenbaum on December 12, 2007 that became exercisable, as to 100% of the underlying shares, on October 12, 2009. These options were issued at a grant price equal to the then current market price of $3.65. These options expire on December 12, 2017. The remaining portion is attributable to non-qualified stock options to purchase 21,000 shares of the Company’s common stock granted to Mr. Rosenbaum on September 13, 2005 that became exercisable, as to 100% of the underlying shares, on October 13, 2008. These options were issued at a grant price equal to the then current market price of $4.10. These options expire on September 13, 2012.

(3)

The amount shown is attributable to non-qualified stock options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock granted to Mr. Charles on June 17, 2005 that became exercisable, as to 100% of the underlying shares, on June 17, 2009. These options were issued at a grant price equal to the then current market price of $2.26. these options expire on June 16, 2012.

(4)

The amount shown is attributable as to $27,000 as a result of the exercise by Mr. Rosenbaum of 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in 2008. The balance is attributable to accrued vacation time paid in 2008.
