During the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company sustained a net loss of $($66,000) or ($0.01) per share both basic and diluted, primarily the result of a one-time write off of state-level deferred tax assets of $381,000 due to the elimination of NYS income tax for qualified manufacturing companies such as CVD.

Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “We continue to see opportunities in the key markets we are pursuing. Chemical vapor deposition applications in aerospace, medical, research and production equipment for nano materials will continue to drive our business. We are happy to announce that in the later part of Q2, 2014 we received a follow on order from a major medical supply company for additional deposition systems to coat implants. The use of chemical vapor deposition equipment in the medical and aerospace fields will continue growing in the future.

“Our Application Laboratory continues to advance technology for Graphene, Nanowires and Nanotube materials and work with potential end users to apply this technology to advance these nano materials into large volume, value added products.  Our custom CVD solutions and systems are provided to industrial customers to help scale up their production requirements.  We anticipate that we will continue to grow our orders and revenue in the second half of the year.”
