In March 2014, New York State eliminated the state income tax for qualified manufacturing companies such as CVD. Due to this change in tax law, the Company was required to write off state-level deferred tax assets which would have been used to offset future taxes payable to New York State. Though this change led to the loss of benefits we had recorded for previous operating losses, it will reduce total income tax expense for future periods, as essentially all of our operations are in New York State.
