BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10
-Q and Article
8
of Regulation S-
X.
They do
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the interim financials
not
misleading have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The operating results for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2021
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2021.
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2020
has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at such date, as filed on Form
10
-K with the SEC on
March 31, 2021,
but does
not
contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
 
All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
 
 
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
 
In
January 2021,
the Board of Directors made a decision to implement a change in direction and new leadership to evaluate the business strategy and operations. As such, they appointed Emmanuel Lakios as President and Chief Executive Officer (previously our Vice-President- Sales and Marketing). Subsequent to this, a decision was made based on continued losses and significant investments required to continue in the Materials business that our primary focus should be on the core equipment business and that the Materials Business strategy should be revised, with some of its current elements potentially minimized or ceased.  Based upon an analysis, including forecasted continued losses and negative cash flows for the Tantaline product line, the Company has implemented plans to eliminate further investment in our Tantaline product line. In addition, we have recorded an impairment charge of
$3.6
million during the
fourth
quarter and year ended
December 31, 2020.
In addition, the Company continues to monitor its costs and will take actions to mitigate expenses in the future to align them with anticipated revenue levels.
 
In order to increase the Company's liquidity and to provide necessary working capital to support the Company's on-going business and operations, the Board has decided to sell the
555
Building in
February 2021.
Management has determined the
555
Building is
not
needed for present and future business operations and concluded that any remaining elements of the Materials Business can be consolidated into the
355
Building, which it believes can accommodate any needs for our growth for the foreseeable future. In
April 2021,
the Company completed the move of its Tantaline product line to the
355
Building, while the MesoScribe consolidation into the
355
Building has been initiated.
 
On
March 29, 2021,
the Company entered into an agreement with Steel K, LLC for the sale of its
555
Building. The purchase price is
$24,360,000,
and the closing of the sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions to closing or contingencies. A portion of the sale proceeds would be used to satisfy the existing mortgage debt on the
555
Building in the approximate amount of
$9.2
million at
March 31, 2021,
and for various costs related to the sale closing in an amount to be determined. Any excess proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. On or about
May 23, 2021,
the buyer
may
advise the Company of any requirement to extend the closing date up to
60
days thereafter.
