**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment ") amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the "Original Form 10-K") as filed by CVD Equipment Corporation (the “Company”), with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018. The purpose of this Amendment is to correct an error contained in the Summary Compensation Table (the “Table”) found under “Item 11. Executive Compensation” of the Original Form 10-K. Specifically, the salary for Leonard A. Rosenbaum, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, for fiscal 2017 was overstated by $197,948. This amount represented payment to Mr. Rosenbaum of the value of his unused vacation time, which was accrued over many years, and should have been listed under the column heading “All Other Compensation”. The Table should correctly read that Mr. Rosenbaum’s salary for fiscal 2017 was $302,742 (the same amount as in 2016). The total amount of Mr. Rosenbaum’s compensation for 2017 as reported in the Table was correct and remains unchanged. The above has no impact on the Company’s Financial Statements as filed with the Original Form 10-K.

As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Form 10-K/A.

 

The corrected Summary Compensation Table under Item 11. Executive Compensation is included below.

 

Except as described herein, this Amendment does not modify or update in any way the financial position, results of operations, cash flows or other disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K, nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K.

**Item 11.        ****Executive Compensation.****Summary Compensation Table** 

 

The following table sets forth the compensation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and our “named executive officers,” for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

| (1) | Amounts shown do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officer. Instead, the amounts shown reflect the total remaining compensation on restricted stock and option awards granted, that have not previously been shown, as determined pursuant to ASC 718. The assumptions used to calculate the value of stock and option awards are set forth under Note 11 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, which was valued utilizing the grant date fair value in the year granted. |
