Hudson Technologies, Inc., incorporated under the laws of New York on January 11, 1991, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "Hudson" or the "Company"), is a refrigerant services company providing innovative solutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, including (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants and (iii) refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants. The Company operates through its wholly owned subsidiary Hudson Technologies Company.

The Company's executive offices are located at 275 North Middletown Road, Pearl River, New York and its telephone number is (845) 735-6000.

The production and use, in the United States, of refrigerants containing chlorofluorocarbons ("CFCs") and hydrochlorofluorocarbons ("HCFCs "), the most commonly used refrigerants, are subject to extensive and changing regulation under the Clean Air Act (the "Act"). The Act, which was amended during 1990 in response to evidence linking the use of CFCs and damage to the earth's ozone layer, prohibits any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances used as refrigerants. That prohibition also applies to substitute, non-ozone depleting refrigerants. The Act further requires the recovery of refrigerants used in residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems. In addition, the Act prohibited production of CFC refrigerants effective January 1, 1996 and limits the production of HCFC refrigerants, which production is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. Under the Act, owners, operators and companies servicing cooling equipment are responsible for the integrity of the systems regardless of the refrigerant being used and for the responsible management of its refrigerant.

From its inception, the Company has sold refrigerants, and has provided refrigerant reclamation and management services that are designed to retain refrigerants, thereby protecting the environment from ozone depletion. Today these offerings represent most of the Company's revenues. During the last five years the Company has created alternative solutions to reactive and preventative maintenance procedures that are performed on commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. These services, known as RefrigerantSide® Services, compliment the Company's refrigerant sales and refrigerant reclamation and management services. In addition, the Company has developed Performance Optimization services that identify inefficiencies in the operation of energy systems and assists companies to improve the efficiency of their systems and save energy. The Company believes that its RefrigerantSide® Services and Performance Optimization services represent the Company's long term growth potential. Each of the Company's products and services are more fully described below.

The Company provides services that are performed at a customer's site through the use of portable, high volume, high-speed proprietary equipment, including its patented Zugibeast® system. Certain of these RefrigerantSide® Services, which encompass system decontamination, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation are also proprietary and are covered by process patents.

In addition to the rectification services previously described, the Company also provides predictive and diagnostic services for its customers. These diagnostic services are primarily laboratory services called Chiller Chemistry ^TM, or Performance Evaluation service which evaluates inefficiencies of an operating refrigeration system.

In 2003, the Company was awarded an United States patent for its Performance Optimization System, which is a system for measuring, modifying and improving the efficiency of energy systems, including air conditioning and refrigeration systems, in industrial and commercial applications. Hudson's Performance Optimization services are able to identify specific inefficiencies in the operation of energy systems and, when used in concert with Hudson's RefrigerantSide® Services, can increase the efficiency of the operating systems thereby reducing energy usage and costs. The Company's services help its customers identify energy-efficient solutions that provide cost savings while protecting the environment, thereby allowing the Company to become an Energy Star ® Service and Product Provider Partner.

The Company sells reclaimed and virgin (new) refrigerants to a variety of customers in various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. Virgin, non CFC based, refrigerants are purchased by the Company from several suppliers and resold by the Company, typically at wholesale. Most of the Company's refrigerant sales are reclaimed CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. The Company regularly purchases used or contaminated refrigerants, most of which are CFC based, from many different sources, which refrigerants are then reclaimed, using the Company's high volume proprietary reclamation equipment, and resold by the Company.

The Company provides a complete offering of refrigerant management services, which primarily include reclamation of refrigerants, testing and banking (storage) services tailored to individual customer requirements. Hudson also separates "crossed" (i.e. commingled) refrigerants and provides re-usable cylinder repair and hydrostatic testing services.

Hudson operates from a network of facilities located in:

In January 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"), pursuant to which the Company provides recovery, reclamation, separation, packaging and testing services directly to DuPont for marketing through DuPont's Authorized Distributor Network. The agreement expires February 28, 2006 and is subject to earlier termination, as defined in the agreement, by either party.

The Company recently reorganized its RefrigerantSide® Services business to focus its sales and marketing efforts on customers who the Company believes most readily appreciate and understand the value that is provided by the Company's RefrigerantSide® Service offering; rather than the mass market approach that had been used in the past to promote the Company's network of RefrigerantSide® Service depots. Moreover, to maintain its current ability to quickly respond to customer service requests throughout the United States as well as to expand its presence outside the United States, the Company has created a strategic alliance with the BOC Group PLC ("BOC Group") and intends to pursue the creation of additional strategic alliances with companies that service larger customers in targeted industries, which would enable the Company to (i) co-locate its equipment with these strategic partners and (ii) utilize these partners' sales and marketing resources to offer their customers the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services.

The Company believes that the international market for refrigerant reclamation, sales and services is equal in size to the United States market for those sales and services. In furtherance of the Company's efforts to expand its presence outside the United States, in June 2003 the Company entered into an exclusive global technology and marketing agreement with BOC Group, a worldwide industrial gases, vacuum technologies and distribution services company that serves two million customers in more than 50 countries. Under the agreement, the Company has licensed its RefrigerantSide® Services technology to BOC Group, and the Company has agreed to enter into separate supplemental agreements with certain BOC Group affiliate companies, pursuant to which the Company will license its RefrigerantSide® Services technology and the use of its related proprietary equipment to each BOC Group affiliate in return for a license fee payable to the Company by the BOC Group affiliate in annual installments during the course of that supplemental agreement and royalty payments to the Company based on revenues derived by the BOC Group affiliate from the performance of RefrigerantSide® Services licensed from the Company. The arrangement is specifically aimed at marketing and developing the Company's RefrigerantSide® and other performance optimization services in over 20 countries outside the United States. Currently, the Company has executed two separate supplemental agreements with BOC Group affiliates covering the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa. The agreement with the BOC Group is, and each supplemental agreement with a BOC Group affiliate will be, for an initial term of seven years and may be further extended for an initial period of three years and thereafter on an open-ended basis unless earlier terminated by either party upon six months' prior written notice.

The Company's financial performance is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non CFC based, and reclaimable, primarily CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers and from other sources within the air conditioning and refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. Most of the Company's refrigerant sales are CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. In addition, the Company's suppliers of R-134a, a non CFC based refrigerant, have notified the Company that the supply of this product will be limited to an annual allocation for 2005.

The Company provides its services to commercial, industrial and governmental customers, as well as to refrigerant wholesalers, distributors, contractors and to refrigeration equipment manufacturers. Agreements with larger customers generally provide for standardized pricing for specified services.

For the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no customer accounted for 10% of the Company's revenues.

Marketing programs are conducted through the efforts of the Company's executive officers, Company sales personnel, and third parties. Hudson employs various marketing methods, including direct mailings, technical bulletins, in-person solicitation, print advertising, response to quotation requests and the internet (www.hudsontech.com). Information in the Company's website is not part of this report.

The Company's sales personnel are compensated on a combination of a base salary and commission. The Company's executive officers devote significant time and effort to customer relationships.

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the performance of its proprietary high volume, high-speed equipment used in its operations, the breadth of services offered by the Company, including proprietary RefrigerantSide® Services and other on-site services and price, particularly with respect to refrigerant sales.

The Company competes with numerous regional and national companies, which provide refrigerant reclamation services, as well as market reclaimed and virgin refrigerants. Certain of these competitors possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources for the sale and distribution of refrigerants than the Company and, in some instances, provide services or products over a more extensive geographic area than the Company.

Hudson's RefrigerantSide® Services provide new and innovative solutions to certain problems within the refrigeration industry and as such the demand and market acceptance for these services are subject to uncertainty. Competition for these services primarily consists of traditional methods of solving the industry's problems. The Company's marketing strategy is to educate the market place that its alternative solutions are available and that RefrigerantSide® Services are superior to traditional methods. The market acceptance for these services are subject to uncertainty.

The Company carries insurance coverage that it considers sufficient to protect the Company's assets and operations. The Company currently maintains general commercial liability insurance and excess liability coverage for claims up to $7,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company attempts to operate in a professional and prudent manner and to reduce potential liability risks through specific risk management efforts, including ongoing employee training.

The refrigerant industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. The Company, and in certain instances, its officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from the Company's on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardous substances or materials. The Company may be held strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether it exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations.

Hudson maintains environmental impairment insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and $2,000,000 annual aggregate for events occurring subsequent to November 1996.

The business of refrigerant sales, reclamation and management is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including in the United States the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the United States Department of Transportation.

Among other things, these regulatory authorities impose requirements which regulate the handling, packaging, labeling, transportation and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and the health and safety of workers, and require the Company and, in certain instances, its employees, to obtain and maintain licenses in connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company.

Hudson and its customers are subject to the requirements of the Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the EPA, which make it unlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances, and non-ozone depleting substitutes, used as refrigerants.

Pursuant to the Act, reclaimed refrigerant must satisfy the same purity standards as newly manufactured refrigerants in accordance with standards established by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute ("ARI") prior to resale to a person other than the owner of the equipment from which it was recovered. The EPA administers a certification program pursuant to which applicants certify to reclaim refrigerants in compliance with ARI standards.

In addition, the EPA has established a mandatory certification program for air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. Hudson's technicians have applied for or obtained such certification.

The Company is also subject to regulations adopted by the United States Department of Transportation which classify most refrigerants handled by the Company as hazardous materials or substances and impose requirements for handling, packaging, labeling and transporting refrigerants and which regulate the use and operation of the Company's commercial motor vehicles used in the Company's business.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA") requires that facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes comply with certain operating standards. Before transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes off-site, generators of such waste must package and label their shipments consistent with detailed regulations and prepare a manifest identifying the material and stating its destination. The transporter must deliver the hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest to a facility with an appropriate RCRA permit. Under RCRA, impurities removed from refrigerants consisting of oils mixed with water and other contaminants are not presumed to be hazardous waste.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 requires the annual reporting of Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventories (Tier II reports) to the various states in which the Company operates and to file annual Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms with the EPA.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), establishes liability for clean-up costs and environmental damages to current and former facility owners and operators, as well as persons who transport or arrange for transportation of hazardous substances. Almost all states have similar statutes regulating the handling and storage of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes. Many such statutes impose requirements, which are more stringent than their federal counterparts. The Company could be subject to substantial liability under these statutes to private parties and government entities, in some instances without any fault, for fines, remediation costs and environmental damage, as a result of the mishandling, release, or existence of any hazardous substances at any of its facilities.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 mandates requirements for safe work place for employees and special procedures and measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. State laws, in certain circumstances, mandate additional measures for facilities handling specified materials.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with all material regulations relating to its material business operations.

The Company utilizes in-house quality and regulatory compliance control procedures. Hudson maintains its own analytical testing laboratory to assure that reclaimed refrigerants comply with ARI purity standards and employs portable testing equipment when performing on-site services to verify certain quality specifications. The Company employs four persons engaged full-time in quality control and to monitor the Company's operations for regulatory compliance.

The Company has 59 full and 5 part time employees including air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, chemists, engineers, sales and administrative personnel.

None of the Company's employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

The Company holds an United States patent, and holds eight foreign patents covering seventeen foreign countries and patent applications pending in two other foreign countries, relating to the high-speed equipment, components and process to reclaim refrigerants, and a registered trademark for its "Zugibeast®". The United States patent expires in January 2012 and the foreign patents will expire between May 2014 and December 2014. The Company also holds several patents related to certain RefrigerantSide® Services developed by the Company as well as for certain processes to measure and improve the efficiency of refrigeration systems. These patents will expire between February 2017 and December 2020.

The Company believes that patent protection is important to its business. There can be no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection that patents may afford the Company, that any patent applications will result in issued patents or that patents will not be circumvented or invalidated. Technological development in the refrigerant industry may result in extensive patent filings and a rapid rate of issuance of new patents. Although the Company believes that its existing patents and the Company's equipment do not and will not infringe upon existing patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that the Company's existing patent rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents or violations of proprietary rights of others may occur. In the event the Company's equipment or processes infringe, or are alleged to infringe, patents or other proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its equipment or processes, obtain a license or defend a possible patent infringement action. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action or that the Company will not become liable for damages.

The Company also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, and employs various methods to protect its technology. However, such methods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how, concepts, ideas and documentation. Failure to protect its trade secrets could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

There are many important factors that have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's business, including but not limited to, the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with the other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond the Company's control and future trends are difficult to predict.

The Company's capital requirements have been and may be significant in the future. In the future, the Company may incur additional expenses in the development and implementation of its operations. As a result, the Company may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to develop its RefrigerantSide® Services business and other businesses. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing, which if available, may not be on acceptable terms. The Company's inability to obtain additional capital financing, if and when needed, could materially adversely affect its business and future financial condition and could require the Company to curtail or otherwise cease its existing operations.

The refrigerant recovery and reclamation industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. The Company, and in certain instances, its officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from the Company's on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or nonhazardous substances or materials. The Company may be strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether the Company exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations. The Company's current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential claims, and adequate levels of insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost. A partially or completely uninsured claim against the Company, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Refrigerant sales continue to represent a significant portion of the Company's revenues. Most of the Company's refrigerant sales are CFC based refrigerants which are no longer manufactured. The Company's inability to source CFC based refrigerants for resale would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and result of operations. Moreover, the Company's business and prospects are largely dependent upon continued regulation of the use and disposition of refrigerants. Changes in government regulations relating to the emission of refrigerants into the atmosphere could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Failure by government authorities to otherwise continue to enforce existing regulations or significant relaxation of regulatory requirements could also adversely affect demand for the Company's services and products.

The refrigerant reclamation and management business is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the United States Department of Transportation. Although the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material regulations relating to its material business operations, amendments to existing statutes and regulations or adoption of new statutes and regulations which affect the marketing and sale of refrigerant could require the Company to continually alter its methods of operation and/or discontinue the sale of certain of its products resulting in costs to the Company that could be substantial. The Company may not be able, for financial or other reasons, to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements, particularly as it seeks to enter into new geographic markets. The Company's failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or permitting requirements could subject it to civil remedies, including substantial fines, penalties and injunctions, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which would, if of significant magnitude, materially adversely impact its operations and future financial condition.

The markets for the Company's services and products are highly competitive. The Company competes with numerous regional and national companies which provide refrigerant recovery and reclamation services, as well as companies which market and deal in reclaimed and alternative refrigerants, including certain of its suppliers, some of which possess greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than the Company. The Company also competes with numerous manufacturers of refrigerant recovery and reclamation equipment. Certain of these competitors have established reputations for success in the service of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The Company may not be able to compete successfully, particularly as it seeks to enter into new markets.

The Company's business is substantially dependent on the availability of used refrigerants in large quantities and the corresponding demand for reclaimed refrigerants, which may be affected by several factors, including limitations on commercial production and use imposed by government regulation, the introduction and commercial use of new refrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, price competition resulting from additional market entrants and changes in government regulation on the use of refrigerants. Although the Company believes that sufficient quantities of used domestic refrigerants will continue to be available to it at a reasonable cost for the foreseeable future, the Company does not maintain agreements with any of its suppliers to obtain refrigerants. Sufficient amounts of used refrigerants may not be available to the Company in the future, or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Additionally, the Company may be subject to price fluctuations, periodic delays or shortages of used refrigerant, or decreases in the current levels of demand for reclaimed refrigerants. The Company's failure to recover and reclaim refrigerants for customers, or to otherwise obtain, reclaim and resell sufficient quantities of refrigerants would have a material adverse effect on its future operating margins and results of operations.

The Company's success is largely dependent upon the efforts of its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, the loss of his services would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes its Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these shares, without further shareholder approval. The rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any additional preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The Company's ability to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of its voting stock, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Hudson.

The Company's Common Stock is currently listed on NASDAQ SmallCap Market. The Company must comply with numerous NASDAQ MarketPlace rules in order to continue the listing of its Common Stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that the Company can continue to meet the rules required to maintain the NASDAQ listing of the Company's Common Stock. If the Company is unable to maintain its listing on NASDAQ, the market liquidity of the Company's Common Stock may be severely limited.

Currently, the Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. and the Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund III, L.P. ("Fleming Funds") collectively own approximately 75% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, the Flemings Funds are in a position to significantly effect, and potentially fully control the Company and the election of its directors, and generally direct the Company's affairs. There is no provision for cumulative voting for directors.

The Company's Baton Rouge, Louisiana depot facility is located in a 3,800 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party at an annual rental of $21,000 pursuant to an agreement expiring in July 2005.

The Company's Champaign, Illinois facility is located in a 48,000 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party at an annual rental of $135,000 pursuant to an agreement expiring in November 2007.

The Company's Charlotte, North Carolina facility is located in a 8,500 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party at an annual rental of $57,000 pursuant to an agreement expiring in November 2009.

The Company's Fremont, New Hampshire telemarketing facility is located in a 2,100 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party at an annual rental of $13,000 pursuant to an agreement expiring in June 2006.

The Company's Hillburn, New York facility is located in a 21,000 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a month to month rental agreement at a monthly rental of $13,700.

The Company's headquarters are located in a 3,625 square foot building in Pearl River, New York. The building is leased from an unaffiliated third party at an annual rental of $67,000 pursuant to an agreement expiring in December 2007.

The Company's Seattle, Washington depot facility is located in a 3,000 square foot building leased from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a month to month rental agreement at a monthly rental of $2,000.

The Company typically enters into short-term leases for its facilities and whenever possible extends the expiration date of such leases.

In September 1998, United Water of New York, Inc. ("United") commenced an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Rockland County, seeking damages in the amount of $1.2 million allegedly sustained as a result of alleged contamination of certain of United's wells which are in close proximity to the Company's Hillburn, New York facility.

On April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release at the Company's Hillburn, New York facility of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant, as a result of a failed hose connection to one of the Company's outdoor storage tanks allowing liquid R-11 to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which the subject tank was located.

Between April 1999 and May 1999, with the approval of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC"), the Company constructed and put into operation a remediation system at the Company's Hillburn facility to remove R-11 levels in the groundwater under and around the Company's facility.

In July 1999, United amended its complaint in the Rockland County action to allege facts relating to, and to seek damages allegedly resulting from, the April 1, 1999 R-11 release.

In September 2000, the Rockland County Supreme Court approved a settlement of the Rockland County action commenced by United. Under the settlement, the Company paid to United the sum of $1,000,000 and had been making additional monthly payments in the amount of $5,000. The final monthly payment was made by the Company in February 2004, satisfying all remaining obligations of the Company to United under the settlement. The Company carries $1,000,000 environmental impairment insurance per occurrence and in connection with the settlement, exhausted all insurance proceeds available for that occurrence under all applicable policies.

In September 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC regarding all past contamination of the United well field, whereby the Company agreed to operate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at its Hillburn facility, until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated. In May 2001, the Company signed an amendment to the Order on Consent with the DEC, pursuant to which the Company installed one additional monitoring well and modified the Company's existing remediation system to incorporate a second recovery well. The Company is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to that Order on Consent and as of December 31, 2004, the Company has accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur in connection with its compliance with the Order on Consent through December 31, 2006. There can be no assurance that additional testing will not be required or that the Company will not incur additional costs and as such, costs in excess of the Company's estimate may have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2000, the Company's Hillburn facility was nominated by the EPA for listing on the National Priorities List ("NPL"), pursuant to CERCLA. The Company believes that the agreements reached with the DEC and United, together with the reduced levels of contamination present in United's wells, make such listing unnecessary and counterproductive. The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. In September 2003, the EPA advised the Company that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing the Hillburn facility on the NPL and that the EPA will not withdraw the proposal of the Hillburn facility on the NPL.

In October 2001, the Company learned that trace levels of R-11 were detected in one of United's wells that is in the closest proximity to the Village of Suffern's ("Village") well system. During February 2002, the Village expressed concern over the possibility of R-11 reaching its well system and advised the Company that it was investigating available options to protect its well system. No contamination of R-11 has ever been detected in any of the Village's wells and, as of October 2002, the level of R-11 in the United well closest to the Village fell below 1 ppb. In October 2002, the Village advised the Company that it intends to proceed with plans to protect its wells and would look to the Company to reimburse the Village for any costs it may incur. In September 2004, the Village advised that it intends to continue performing additional sampling of its wells at a cost of approximately $5,000 per year, and has requested that the Company reimburse the Village for the costs for such sampling. To date, no other detailed cost estimate, formal demand or claim has been presented by the Village, however, to the extent the Village proceeds with its plans, the Company may incur additional costs.

In February 2003, the Company agreed to extend the statute of limitations applicable to any claims that may be available to Ramapo Land Company ("Ramapo"), the lessor of the Company's Hillburn facility, arising out of the April 1, 1999 incident for an additional two years. Between April 2004 and September 2004, Ramapo advised the Company that it had incurred approximately $80,000 in legal and consulting fees relating to the April 1, 1999 incident and has requested reimbursement from the Company for these costs and for future costs that may be incurred in this regard. In September 2004, Ramapo advised the Company that the value of the real property upon which the Hillburn facility is situated has been diminished in value by an unspecified amount as a result of the April 1, 1999 incident. There can be no assurance that a claim asserted by Ramapo for diminishment of the value of the Hillburn facility, and for legal and environmental costs incurred, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred $202,000 in additional remediation costs in connection with the matters above and such amount has been included as a component of general and administrative expenses. There can be no assurance that the R-11 will not spread beyond the United's well system and impact the Village of Suffern's wells, or that the ultimate outcome of such a spread of contamination will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the EPA will not change its current plans and seek to finalize the process of listing the Hillburn facility on the NPL, or that the ultimate outcome of such a listing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's Common Stock trades on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. There can be no assurance that, in the future, the Company will be able to meet the requirements necessary for continued listing of its Common Stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of the high and low sale prices for the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ.

The number of record holders of the Company's Common Stock was approximately 250 as of March 4, 2005. The Company believes that there are in excess of 4,000 beneficial owners of its Common Stock.

To date, the Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition, borrowing covenants, and other relevant factors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, to finance the Company's operations and development of its business and does not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has a credit facility with Keltic Financial Partners, LLP ("Keltic") which, among other things, restricts the Company's ability to declare or pay any dividends on its capital stock.

See Item 10 for certain information with respect to the Company's equity compensation plans in effect at December 31, 2004.

Certain statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the markets for refrigerants (including unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the demand for, and the price of refrigerants), the Company's ability to source refrigerants, regulatory and economic factors, seasonality, competition, litigation, the nature of supplier or customer arrangements which become available to the Company in the future, adverse weather conditions, possible technological obsolescence of existing products and services, possible reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful life of its assets, potential environmental liability, customer concentration, the ability to obtain financing, and other risks detailed in the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "may", "plan", "should" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgements, uncertainties and estimations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgements and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and commitments and contingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimated liabilities could differ from the original estimates.

Over the past few years, the Company has been attempting to grow its service revenues through the development of a service offering known as RefrigerantSide® Services. RefrigerantSide® Services are sold to contractors and end-users associated with refrigeration systems in commercial air conditioning and industrial processing industries. These services are offered in addition to refrigerant sales and the Company's traditional refrigerant management services, which consist primarily of reclamation of refrigerants. The Company has created a network of service depots that provide a full range of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services to facilitate the growth and development of its service offerings.

Management believes that its RefrigerantSide® Services represent the Company's long term growth potential. As part of the Company's goal to grow its RefrigerantSide® Services business, in 2002 the Company commenced a restructuring of its sales and marketing efforts culminating in the reorganization of the Company in May 2003. As a result of the reorganization, the Company has determined to focus its sales and marketing efforts on customers who the Company believes most readily appreciate and understand the value that is provided by the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services offering; rather than the mass market approach that had been used in the past to promote the Company's network of service depots. In pursuing its new sales and marketing strategy, the Company expects to focus its RefrigerantSide® Services on customers in the following industries; petrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial power, manufacturing, commercial facility and property management and maritime. Moreover, to maintain its current ability to quickly respond to customer service requests throughout the United States as well as to expand its presence outside the United States, the Company has created a strategic alliance with BOC Group and intends to pursue the creation of additional strategic alliances with companies that service larger customers in targeted industries, which would enable the Company to (i) co-locate its equipment with these strategic partners and (ii) utilize these partners' sales and marketing resources to offer their customers the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services.

As a result of the Company's new marketing strategy, the Company closed five of its service depots during 2003. The territories previously served by the closed depots are now served by the Company's remaining service depots. The Company is continuing to develop this new sales and marketing strategy and may incur additional expenses in the development of its RefrigerantSide® Services.

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a majority of the Company's revenues. Most of the Company's refrigerant sales are CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. In addition, the Company expects that the demand for CFC based refrigerants will continue to decrease as equipment that utilize other chemical based refrigerants replace those units that utilize CFC based refrigerants, particularly in the automotive aftermarket segment of the refrigerant sales industry. To the extent that the Company is unable to source CFC based refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or the demand for CFC based refrigerants decreases, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, to the extent that the Company is unable to source replacements to the CFC based refrigerants, the Company's financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

The Company believes that, for the foreseeable future, there will be a trend in the refrigeration industry towards lower sales prices, volumes and gross profit margins on refrigerant sales, which may result in an adverse effect on the Company's operating results. In addition, to the extent that the Company is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms, or experiences a decline in demand for refrigerants, the Company could realize reductions in refrigerant processing, and loss of revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results.

Revenues for 2004 were $14,613,000, a decrease of $3,350,000 or 19% from the $17,963,000 reported during the comparable 2003 period. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in refrigerant revenues of $4,469,000 offset by an increase in RefrigerantSide® Services revenues of $1,119,000. The decrease in refrigerant revenues is related to a reduction in the sales prices per pound and volume of CFC based refrigerants sold to the automotive aftermarket and to a lesser extent a reduction in the volume of other CFC based refrigerants sold. The Company believes that the decline in automotive refrigerants and the decline in volume of other CFC based refrigerants is due to a reduction in the number of systems that use CFC based refrigerants and expects this trend to continue in the future. The increase in RefrigerantSide® Services was primarily attributable to an increase in the revenue per job sold, which is a consequence of the reorganization of the Company's sales and marketing efforts.

Cost of sales for 2004 was $9,007,000, a decrease of $4,044,000 or 31% from the $13,051,000 reported during the comparable 2003 period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to a reduction in materials cost of refrigerants sold of $3,239,000, which is directly related to the reduction in refrigerant revenues described above and corresponding reduction in freight costs of $230,000, and to a lesser extent a reduction in facilities and payroll costs associated with the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services of $310,000. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 62% of revenues for 2004, a decrease from the 73% reported for the comparable 2003 period. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to a reduction in material costs of refrigerants sold and to a lesser extent a reduction in payroll associated with the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services.

Operating expenses for 2004 were $5,204,000 a decrease of $1,241,000 or 19% from the $6,445,000 reported during the comparable 2003 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in selling, general and administrative of $743,000 and reorganization costs of $350,000 due to the Company's reorganization of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Service offering that occurred in May 2003 and a reduction in depreciation and amortization costs of $148,000.

Other income (expense) for 2004 was ($138,000), compared to the ($899,000) reported during the comparable 2003 period. Other income (expense) includes interest expense of $341,000 and $934,000 for the comparable 2004 and 2003 periods, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributed to a reduction in outstanding indebtedness. During the 2004 period, interest expense was offset by insurance proceeds of $105,000 and gain on sale of assets of $98,000. During the 2003 period, interest expense was offset by sub-lease income of $24,000 and gain on sale of assets of $11,000.

No income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were recognized. During the 2004 period no income taxes were recognized on the income before taxes of $264,000 due to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards from prior periods. The Company recognized a reserve allowance against the deferred tax benefit for the 2003 and prior losses. The tax benefits associated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize net income. A portion of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations.

Net income for 2004 was $264,000 an increase of $2,696,000 from the ($2,432,000) net loss reported during the comparable 2003 period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profits on the Company's revenues and a decrease in selling, general and administrative and reorganization expenses due to the reorganization of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Service offering that occurred in May 2003.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of approximately $1,306,000, an increase of $650,000 from the working capital of $656,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the cash provided from operating activities of $856,000 offset by cash used by investing activities of $236,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Principal components of current assets are inventory and trade receivables. At December 31, 2004, the Company had inventories of $2,661,000, an increase of $74,000, or 3% from the $2,587,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in the inventory balance is due to the timing and availability of inventory purchases and the sale of refrigerants. The Company's ability to sell and replace its inventory on a timely basis and the prices at which it can be sold are subject, among other things, to current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company's ability to source refrigerants, some of which are no longer being manufactured (see "Reliance on Suppliers and Customers" and "Seasonality and Fluctuations in Operating Results"). At December 31, 2004, the Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $1,739,000, a decrease of $215,000 or 11% from the $1,954,000 at December 31, 2003. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigeration industry that are primarily located in the continental United States.

The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements through cash flows from operations, the issuance of debt and equity securities and bank and related party borrowings. During 2003, the Company completed several initiatives to lower its overall operating cost resulting in the elimination of approximately $2,000,000 in annual expenses. The full impact of these cost reductions has been recognized through the second quarter of 2004.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $856,000 compared with net cash used by operating activities of $768,000 for the comparable 2003 period. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2004 period was primarily attributable to the net income for the period and a reduction in accounts receivable offset by an increase in inventories and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $236,000 compared with net cash used by investing activities of $519,000 for the prior comparable 2003 period. The net cash used by investing activities for the 2004 period was due to equipment additions primarily associated with the Company's alliance agreement with the BOC Group.

Net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $661,000 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $1,398,000 for the comparable 2003 period. The net cash used by financing activities for the 2004 period primarily consisted of repayment of short-term debt of $518,000, and the net repayment of long-term debt of $188,000 offset by $46,000 net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $615,000. The Company continues to assess its capital expenditure needs. The Company may, to the extent necessary, continue to utilize its cash balances to purchase equipment primarily for its reclamation facility and the alliance with the BOC Group. The Company estimates that total capital expenditures during 2005 may range from approximately $500,000 to $700,000.

The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual cash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31, 2004 and is more fully disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Notes 8 and 10 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) (amounts in thousands of dollars).

On May 30, 2003, Hudson entered into a credit facility with Keltic which provides for borrowings of up to $5,000,000. The facility consists of a revolving line of credit and a term loan that expires on May 30, 2006. Advances under the revolving line of credit may not exceed $4,600,000 and are limited to (i) 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable and (ii) 50% of eligible inventory. Advances available to Hudson under the term loan may not exceed $400,000. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of the prime rate plus 2.0%, or 6.5%, and was 7.25% at December 31, 2004. Substantially all of Hudson's assets are pledged as collateral for its obligations to Keltic under the credit facility. In addition, among other things, the agreements restrict Hudson's ability to declare or pay any cash dividends on its capital stock. As of December 31, 2004, Hudson had in the aggregate $1,047,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Keltic revolving line of credit and $1,402,000 available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit. In addition, the Company had $280,000 of borrowings outstanding under its term loan with Keltic.

During 2003, the Company offered for sale its Common Stock through the issuance of rights to its then existing shareholders and offered the remaining unsubscribed shares to the public ("Rights Offering"). The Rights Offering closed on December 19, 2003. As a result of the Rights Offering and the conversion of all of the then existing convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,660,000, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,833,306 shares of its Common Stock.

On March 30, 1999 and February 16, 2001, the Company completed the sale of 65,000 and 30,000 shares, respectively, of its Series A Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $100 per share, to Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. and Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund III, L.P. The gross proceeds from the March 30, 1999 and February 16, 2001 sales of the Series A Preferred Stock were $6,500,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

Prior to March 31, 2004, the Company paid dividends, in arrears, on the Series A Preferred Stock, semi-annually, either in cash or additional shares, at the Company's option. On March 30, 2004, the Company declared and paid, in-kind, the dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and issued 4,455 additional shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in satisfaction of the dividends due. The March 30, 2004 dividend payment was the final dividend payment on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

On March 31, 2004, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock converted all of their shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price of $.79 per share. As a result of the conversion, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock received 16,397,468 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

During the first half of 2003, the Company consolidated certain of its facilities. Moreover, as the Company implements its sales and marketing strategy it may discontinue certain operations, eliminate depot and overhead costs and, in doing so, may incur future charges to exit certain operations.

The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital requirements for the immediate future from anticipated cash flow from operations and available funds under its credit facility with Keltic. Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerants purchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company's depots and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future would adversely affect the Company's future capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may need to modify its plans or it may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, which capital may not be available.

Inflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's operations.

Reliance on Suppliers and Customers

The Company's financial performance is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non CFC based, and reclaimable, primarily CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers, and from other sources within the air conditioning and refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. Most of the Company's refrigerant sales are CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. In addition, the Company's suppliers of R-134a, a non CFC based refrigerant, have notified the Company that the supply of this product will be limited to an annual allocation for 2005. To the extent that the Company is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin or reclaimable refrigerants in the future, or resell refrigerants at a profit, the Company's financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company's products or services by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

The Company's operating results vary from period to period as a result of weather conditions, requirements of potential customers, non-recurring refrigerant and service sales, availability and price of refrigerant products (virgin or reclaimable), changes in reclamation technology and regulations, timing in introduction and/or retrofit or replacement of CFC-based refrigeration equipment, the rate of expansion of the Company's operations, and by other factors. The Company's business is seasonal in nature with peak sales of refrigerants occurring in the first half of each year. During past years, the seasonal decrease in sales of refrigerants have resulted in additional losses during the second half of the year. Delays in securing adequate supplies of refrigerants at peak demand periods, lack of refrigerant demand, increased expenses, declining refrigerant prices and a loss of a principal customer could result in significant losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not occur and result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and significant losses. The Company believes that there is a similar seasonal element to RefrigerantSide® Service revenues as refrigerant sales and is continuing to assess its seasonal trend.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB statement No. 151 ("SFAS 151"), which amends ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 which deals with the accounting for inventory pricing. The amendment provides greater clarity on costs that are to be included in the cost of inventory versus those costs which are considered period costs.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 152 ("SFAS 152"). SFAS 152 addresses accounting for the sale of real estate and the cost associated with real estate projects.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 153 ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 addresses accounting for non-monetary transactions.

SFAS 151, 152 and 153 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of FASB statement No. 123, ("Revised SFAS 123") which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Revised SFAS 123 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. Revised SFAS 123 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The revised SFAS No. 123 may have a material effect on the Company's results of operations but not on the Company's financial position.

The financial statements appear in a separate section of this report following Part III.

None

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
