BusinessGeneralHudson Technologies, Inc., incorporated under the laws of New York on January 11, 1991, is a refrigerant services company providing innovativesolutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial airconditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, and include (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) refrigerant management services consistingprimarily of reclamation of refrigerants and (iii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination toremove moisture, oils and other contaminants. In addition, RefrigerantSide® Services include predictive and diagnostic services for industrial andcommercial refrigeration applications, which are designed to predict potential catastrophic problems and identify inefficiencies in an operatingsystem. The Company's Chiller Chemistry®, Chill Smart®, Fluid Chemistry™ and Performance Optimization are predictive and diagnostic serviceofferings. The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company. Unless the context requires otherwise,references to the "Company", "Hudson", "we", "us", "our", or similar pronouns refer to Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.The Company's executive offices are located at One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York and its telephone number is (845) 735-6000.Industry backgroundThe production and use, in the United States, of refrigerants containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons ("HCFC"), the most commonly used refrigerants,and chlorofluorocarbons ("CFC") are subject to extensive and changing regulation under the Clean Air Act, as amended (the "Act"). The Act, whichSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

That prohibition also applies to substitute, non-ozone depleting refrigerants. TheAct also requires the recovery of refrigerants used in residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and,effective January 1, 1996, prohibited production of virgin CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin (new) HCFC refrigerants. EffectiveJanuary 2004, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, and federal regulations were enacted which impose limitations onthe importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Additionally, effective January 2010 the Act further limited the production of HCFC refrigerantsand additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFCrefrigerants. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020, and production of allHCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. Under the Act, owners, operators and companies servicing cooling equipment areresponsible for the integrity of the systems, regardless of the refrigerant being used, and for the responsible management of refrigerant.Hydrofluorocarbon ("HFC") are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants in certain applications. As a result of the increasing restrictionsand limitations on the production and use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry havebegun replacing or modifying equipment that utilize CFC and HCFC refrigerants and have been transitioning to equipment that utilizes HFCrefrigerants. HFC refrigerants are not ozone depleting chemicals and are not currently regulated under the Act. However, HFC refrigerants arestrong greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and, as a result, are now subject to various state and federal regulations relating to theproduction, importation and emissions of HFC refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, would imposelimitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants.The Act, and the federal regulations enacted under authority of the Act, have mandated and/or promoted responsible use practices in the airconditioning and refrigeration industry, which are intended to minimize the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere and encourage the recoveryand re-use of refrigerants. In addition to prohibiting the venting of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, and prohibiting and/or phasing down the productionof CFC and HCFC refrigerants, the Act mandates the recovery of these refrigerants and also promotes and encourages re-use and reclamation ofCFC and HCFC refrigerants. Since January 1996, when virgin CFC production became prohibited, nearly the entire service demand for CFCrefrigerants in existing equipment has been met through the recovery and the reclamation of used CFC refrigerants by the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency ("EPA") certified reclaimers. In addition, effective January 2010, EPA regulations reduced the total pounds ofvirgin HCFC refrigerants that can be produced and imported to levels which, based upon the EPA's estimates, will require as much as 20% of theservice demand for existing equipment to be met by reclaimed or recycled HCFC refrigerants, with that percentage increasing in 2015. Page 3 Products and ServicesFrom its inception, the Company has sold refrigerants, and has provided refrigerant reclamation and management services that are designed topreserve refrigerants, thereby protecting the environment from ozone depletion. The reclamation process allows the refrigerant to be re-usedthereby eliminating the need to destroy or manufacture additional refrigerant and eliminating the corresponding impact to the environmentassociated with the destruction and manufacturing. Today, these offerings represent most of the Company's revenues. For the past several years,the Company has created alternative solutions to reactive and preventative maintenance procedures that are performed on commercial andindustrial refrigeration systems. These services, known as RefrigerantSide® Services, compliment the Company's refrigerant sales and refrigerantreclamation and management services. The Company has also developed Performance Optimization services that identify inefficiencies in theoperation of air conditioning and refrigeration systems and assists companies to improve the efficiency of their systems and save energy. Inaddition, the Company is pursuing potential opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions. See "EmissionReductions".Refrigerant SalesThe Company sells reclaimed and virgin (new) refrigerants to a variety of customers in various segments of the air conditioning and refrigerationindustry. Virgin, non-CFC refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, are purchased by the Company from several suppliers and resold bythe Company, typically at wholesale. The Company continues to sell reclaimed CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. TheCompany regularly purchases used or contaminated refrigerants, some of which are CFC based, from many different sources, which refrigerantsare then reclaimed using the Company's high volume proprietary reclamation equipment, the Zugibeast® system, and resold by the Company.Refrigerant Management ServicesThe Company provides a complete offering of refrigerant management services, which primarily include reclamation of refrigerants, laboratorytesting through the Company's laboratory, which has been certified by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute, formerly the AirConditioning and Refrigeration Institute ("ARI"), and banking (storage) services tailored to individual customer requirements. Hudson alsoseparates "crossed" (i.e. commingled) refrigerants and provides re-usable cylinder repair and hydrostatic testing services.RefrigerantSide® ServicesThe Company provides decontamination and recovery services that are performed at a customer's site through the use of portable, high volume,high-speed proprietary equipment, including its patented Zugibeast®. Certain of these RefrigerantSide® Services, which encompass systemdecontamination, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation are also proprietary and are covered by process patents.In addition to the decontamination and recovery services previously described, the Company also provides predictive and diagnostic services forits customers. The Company offers diagnostic services that are intended to predict potential problems in air conditioning and refrigeration systemsbefore they occur. The Company's Chiller Chemistry® offering integrates several fluid tests of an operating system and the correspondinglaboratory results into an engineering report providing its customers with an understanding of the current condition of the fluids, the cause for anyabnormal findings and the potential consequences if the abnormal findings are not remediated. Fluid Chemistry™, an abbreviated version of, theCompany's Chiller Chemistry® offering, is designed to quickly identify systems that require further examination. ChillSmart® combines thediagnostic information of Chiller Chemistry® with a detailed performance evaluation for an operating refrigeration system and recommendations forSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Theseinefficiencies require power generating companies to produce more energy and, in many instances increase carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions toproduce the excess energy. Consequently, not only is Hudson's reclamation system beneficial to the environment, but Hudson's PerformanceOptimization Services recommendations are also designed to achieve an overall reduction in CO2 emissions. The Company's PerformanceOptimization Services have allowed the Company to become an Energy Star® Service and Product Provider Partner. The Company's PerformanceOptimization System can be customized to a particular customer's refrigeration system, such as at an industrial facility that utilizes refrigeration inits manufacturing processes, or offered as a stand alone product that can be used with air conditioning and packaged refrigeration systems, suchas a comfort cooling application in large office buildings. When the Company combines it Performance Optimization System with its ChillerChemistry® the Company calls this combined offering ChillSmart®.Page 4Emission ReductionsCFC refrigerants are ozone depleting substances and are also strong greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. The destruction of CFCrefrigerants may be eligible for verified emission reductions that can be converted and monetized into carbon offset credits that may be traded inthe emerging carbon offset markets. The Company is pursuing opportunities to acquire CFC refrigerants and is developing relationships within theemerging environmental markets in order to develop opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions from thedestruction of CFC refrigerants.Hudson's NetworkHudson operates from a network of facilities located in:Auburn, Washington--RefrigerantSide® Service depotBaton Rouge, Louisiana--RefrigerantSide® Service depotChampaign, Illinois--Reclamation and separation of refrigerants and cylinder refurbishment center;RefrigerantSide® Service depotCharlotte, North Carolina--RefrigerantSide® Service depotOrangeburg, New York--RefrigerantSide® Service depotPearl River, New York--Company headquarters and administrative officesPottsboro, Texas--Telemarketing officeRaymond, New Hampshire--Telemarketing officeStrategic AlliancesThe Company believes that the international market for refrigerant reclamation, sales and services is equal in size to the United States market forthose sales and services. In furtherance of the Company's efforts to expand its presence outside the United States, in June 2003, the Companyentered into an exclusive global technology and marketing agreement with The Linde Group ("Linde"), formerly the BOC Group, a worldwideindustrial gases, vacuum technologies and distribution services company that serves two million customers in more than 50 countries. Under theagreement, the Company has licensed its RefrigerantSide® Services technology to Linde, and the Company has agreed to enter into separatesupplemental agreements with certain Linde affiliate companies, pursuant to which the Company will license its RefrigerantSide® Servicestechnology and the use of its related proprietary equipment to each Linde affiliate in return for (i) a license fee payable to the Company by theLinde affiliate in annual installments during the course of such supplemental agreement and (ii) royalty payments to the Company based onrevenues derived by the Linde affiliate from the performance of RefrigerantSide® Services and other sales licensed from the Company. Thearrangement was specifically aimed at marketing and developing the Company's RefrigerantSide® and other performance optimization services inover 20 countries outside the United States. The agreement with Linde will expire on September 30, 2010. Currently, the Company has executedtwo separate supplemental agreements with Linde affiliates covering the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa. Each of the existingsupplemental agreements is, and any future supplemental agreement with a Linde affiliate will be, for an initial term of seven years and may befurther extended for an initial period of three years and thereafter on an open-ended basis unless earlier terminated.In January 2010, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with EOS Climate, Inc. ("EOS"), which is a provider of technology andservices related to the destruction or mitigation of ozone-depleting substances in order to generate verified emissions reductions for sale inemerging environmental markets. Under the agreement, the Company and EOS have established an exclusive relationship pursuant to which theCompany will supply certain CFC refrigerants to EOS, and EOS will utilize the Company to perform reclamation and recovery services foremissions reduction projects, and the parties will share any revenues generated from the monetization of verified emissions reductions. Theagreement is worldwide in scope and provides for the granting of licenses by the Company to EOS to utilize the Company's equipment andtechnology in other countries in connection with emissions reductions projects.SuppliersThe Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin,non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gasbrokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand forrefrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company'srefrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. EffectiveJanuary 1, 1996, the Act limits the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federalregulations enacted in January 2004 also imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. In addition, effective January2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed furtherSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants isscheduled to be phased out by the year 2020 and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. ThePage 5limitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in theprice of virgin HCFC refrigerants. To the extent the Company is unable to source sufficient quantities of virgin or reclaimable refrigerants in thefuture, or resell refrigerants at a profit, the Company's financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.CustomersThe 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 specifiedservices.For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues.MarketingMarketing programs are conducted through the efforts of the Company's executive officers, Company sales personnel, and third parties. Hudsonemploys various marketing methods, including direct mailings, technical bulletins, in-person solicitation, print advertising, response to quotationrequests and the internet through the Company's website (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 devotesignificant time and effort to customer relationships.CompetitionThe Company competes primarily on the basis of the performance of its proprietary high volume, high-speed equipment used in its operations, thebreadth of services offered by the Company, including proprietary RefrigerantSide® Services and other on-site services, and price, particularly withrespect to refrigerant sales.The Company competes with numerous regional and national companies that market reclaimed and virgin refrigerants and provide refrigerantreclamation services. Certain of these competitors possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources for the sale anddistribution of refrigerants than the Company and, in some instances, serve 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, thedemand and market acceptance for these services are subject to uncertainty. Competition for these services primarily consists of traditionalmethods of solving the industry's problems. The Company's marketing strategy is to educate the marketplace that its alternative solutions areavailable and that RefrigerantSide® Services are superior to traditional methods. The market acceptance for these services is subject touncertainty.InsuranceThe Company carries insurance coverage that it considers sufficient to protect the Company's assets and operations. The Company currentlymaintains general commercial liability insurance and excess liability coverage for claims up to $7,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000 in theaggregate. The Company attempts to operate in a professional and prudent manner and to reduce potential liability risks through specific riskmanagement 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 substancesor materials. The Company may be held strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether it exercised due care andcomplied with all relevant laws and regulations.Hudson maintains environmental impairment insurance of $7,000,000 per occurrence, and $8,000,000 annual aggregate, for events occurringsubsequent to November 1996.Government RegulationThe business of refrigerant sales, reclamation and management is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and locallaws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration and the United States Department of Transportation.Page 6Among other things, these regulatory authorities impose requirements which regulate the handling, packaging, labeling, transportation and disposalof hazardous and non-hazardous materials and the health and safety of workers, and require the Company and, in certain instances, itsemployees, to obtain and maintain licenses in connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant complianceburdens 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 itunlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowinglyvent 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, virgin, refrigerants in accordance withstandards established by ARI prior to resale to a person other than the owner of the equipment from which it was recovered. The EPA administersa certification program pursuant to which applicants certify to reclaim refrigerants in compliance with ARI standards. The Company is one of onlySource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Hudson's technicians haveapplied for or obtained such certification.The Company may also be subject to regulations adopted by the EPA which impose certain reporting requirements arising out of the production,use and/or emissions of certain greenhouse gases, including HFC's.The Company is also subject to regulations adopted by the United States Department of Transportation which classify most refrigerants handledby the Company as hazardous materials or substances and imposes requirements for handling, packaging, labeling and transporting refrigerantsand 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, as amended ("RCRA") requires facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastesto comply with certain operating standards. Before transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes off-site, generators of such waste mustpackage 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, as amended requires the annual reporting by the Company of Emergencyand Hazardous Chemical Inventories (Tier II reports) to the various states in which the Company operates and requires the Company to file annualToxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms with the EPA.The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), establishes liability for clean-up costs andenvironmental damages to current and former facility owners and operators, as well as persons who transport or arrange for transportation ofhazardous substances. Almost all states have similar statutes regulating the handling and storage of hazardous substances, hazardous wastesand non-hazardous wastes. Many such statutes impose requirements that are more stringent than their federal counterparts. The Company couldbe 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 itsfacilities.The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended mandates requirements for a safe work place for employees and special proceduresand measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. State laws, in certain circumstances, mandate additional measures forfacilities handling specified materials.The Company believes that it is in compliance with all material regulations relating to its material business operations.Quality Assurance & Environmental ComplianceThe Company utilizes in-house quality and regulatory compliance control procedures. Hudson maintains its own analytical testing laboratory, whichis ARI certified, to assure that reclaimed refrigerants comply with ARI purity standards and employs portable testing equipment when performingon-site services to verify certain quality specifications. The Company employs four persons engaged full-time in quality control and to monitor theCompany's operations for regulatory compliance. Page 7EmployeesThe Company has 72 full and 3 part time employees including air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, chemists, engineers, sales andadministrative personnel.None of the Company's employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.Patents and Proprietary InformationThe Company holds a United States patent and eight foreign patents covering seventeen foreign countries and has patent applications pending intwo other foreign countries all relating to the high-speed equipment, components and process to reclaim refrigerants. The Company also holds aregistered trademark for its Zugibeast®. The United States patent expires in January 2012 and the foreign patents will expire between May 2014and December 2014. The Company also holds several U.S. and foreign patents related to certain RefrigerantSide® Services developed by theCompany as well as for certain processes to measure and improve the efficiency of refrigeration systems. These patents will expire betweenFebruary 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 thatpatents 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. Althoughthe Company believes that its existing patents and the Company's equipment do not and will not infringe upon existing patents or violateproprietary rights of others, it is possible that the Company's existing patent rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or futurepatents or violations of proprietary rights of others may occur. In the event the Company's equipment or processes infringe, or are alleged toinfringe, patents or other proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its equipment or processes, obtain alicense or defend a possible patent infringement action. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resourcesnecessary 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, suchmethods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtainaccess to the Company's know-how, concepts, ideas and documentation. Failure to protect its trade secrets could have a material adverse effecton the Company.Source: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Risk FactorsThere are many important factors that have affected, and in the future could affect Hudson's business including, but not limited to, the factorsdiscussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with the other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyondHudson's control and future trends are difficult to predict.Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition.Our existing credit facility, which currently expires in June 2011, is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains formulas that limit theamount of our borrowings under the facility. Moreover, the terms of our credit facility also include negative covenants that, among other things,may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. If we violate any of these loan covenants our indebtedness under the credit facility wouldbecome immediately due and payable, and the bank could foreclose on its security, which could materially adversely affect our business andfuture financial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations.We may need additional financing to satisfy our future capital requirements, which may not be readily available to us.Our capital requirements have been and may be significant in the future. In the future, we may incur additional expenses in the development andimplementation of our operations. Due to fluctuations in the price, demand and availability of new refrigerants, our existing credit facility thatexpires in June 2011 may not in the future be sufficient to provide all of the capital that we need to acquire and manage our inventories of newrefrigerant. As a result, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to develop our RefrigerantSide® Services businessour refrigerant sales business and our other businesses. We have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing otherthan our existing credit facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew this credit facility or obtain any additional financing onterms acceptable to us or at all. Our inability to obtain financing, if and when needed, could materially adversely affect our business and futurefinancial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations. Page 8The current economic downturn could cause a severe disruption in our operations.Our business could be negatively impacted by the current economic downturn. If this downturn is prolonged or worsens, there could be severalseverely negative implications to our business that may exacerbate many of the risk factors we identified in this report but not limited, to thefollowing:LiquidityThe economic downturn and the associated credit crisis could continue or worsen and reduce liquidity and this could have a negative impact onfinancial institutions and the global financial system, which could, in turn, have a negative impact on us.We may not be able to borrow additional funds under any existing credit facility or may not be able to expand our borrowings under any existingfacility if participating lenders become insolvent or their liquidity is limited or impaired. In addition, we may not be able to renew our existing creditfacility at the conclusion of its current term.DemandThe economic downturn has resulted in severe job losses and lower business to business and consumer confidence, which could cause adecrease in demand and/or price for our product and services.The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability.The refrigerant recovery and reclamation industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmentaldamage and personal injury. We, and in certain instances, our officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from our on-siteor off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardoussubstances or materials. We may be strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether we exercised due care andcomplied with all relevant laws and regulations. Our current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential claims, and adequatelevels of insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost. A partially or completely uninsured claim against us, ifsuccessful and of sufficient magnitude would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.Our business and financial condition is substantially dependent on the sale and continued environmental regulation of refrigerants.Our business and prospects are largely dependent upon continued regulation of the use and disposition of refrigerants. Changes in governmentregulations relating to the emission of refrigerants into the atmosphere could have a material adverse effect on us. Failure by governmentauthorities to otherwise continue to enforce existing regulations or significant relaxation of regulatory requirements could also adversely affectdemand for our services and products.Our business is subject to significant regulatory compliance burdens.The refrigerant reclamation and management business is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws andsubstantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration and the United States Department of Transportation. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all materialregulations relating to our material business operations, amendments to existing statutes and regulations or adoption of new statutes andregulations which affect the marketing and sale of refrigerant could require us to continually alter our methods of operation and/or discontinue thesale of certain of our products resulting in costs to us that could be substantial. We may not be able, for financial or other reasons, to comply withapplicable laws, regulations and permit requirements, particularly as we seek to enter into new geographic markets. Our failure to comply withapplicable laws, rules or regulations or permit requirements could subject us to civil remedies, including substantial fines, penalties andSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

We compete with numerous regional and national companies which providerefrigerant recovery and reclamation services, as well as companies which market and deal in new and reclaimed alternative refrigerants, includingcertain of our suppliers, some of which possess greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than us. We also compete withnumerous manufacturers of refrigerant recovery and reclamation equipment. Certain of these competitors have established reputations for successin the service of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. We may not be able to compete successfully, particularly as we seek to enter into newmarkets. Page 9A number of factors could negatively impact the price and/or availability of refrigerants, which would, in turn, adversely affect ourbusiness and financial condition.Refrigerant sales continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Therefore, our business is substantially dependent on the availabilityof both new and used refrigerants in large quantities, which may be affected by several factors including commercial production and consumptionlimitations imposed by the Act and legislative limitations and ban on HCFC refrigerants; the ban on production of CFC based refrigerants under theAct; the proposed legislation which, if enacted, could impose limitations on production and consumption of HFC refrigerants; introduction of newrefrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment; price competition resulting from additional market entrants; and changes ingovernment regulation on the use and production of refrigerants. We do not maintain firm agreements with any of our suppliers of refrigerants.Sufficient amounts of new and/or used refrigerants may not be available to us in the future, or may not be available on commercially reasonableterms. Additionally, we may be subject to price fluctuations, periodic delays or shortages of new and/or used refrigerants. Our failure to obtain andresell sufficient quantities of virgin refrigerants, or to obtain, reclaim and resell sufficient quantities of used refrigerants would have a materialadverse effect on our operating margins and results of operations.Adverse weather conditions could adversely impact our financial results.Weather is a significant factor in determining market demand for the refrigerants sold by us, and to a lesser extent, our RefrigerantSide® Services.Unusually cooler temperatures in the spring and summer in the markets served by us, tends to depress demand for, and price of, refrigerants wesell. Protracted periods of cooler than normal spring and summer weather could result in a substantial reduction in our sales which could adverselyaffect our financial position as well as our results of operations.Issues relating to potential climate change could have an impact on our business.Refrigerants are considered to be strong greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming and are now subject to various stateand federal regulations relating to the production, importation and emissions of refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that,if enacted, would impose limitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants and current and future climate change orrelated legislation and/or regulations, may impose additional compliance burdens on us and on our customers and suppliers which could potentiallyresult in increase administrative costs, decreased demand in the marketplace for our products, and/or increased costs for our supplies andproducts.The loss of key management personnel would adversely impact our business.Our success is largely dependent upon the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The loss of his services would have a materialadverse effect on our business and prospects.We have the ability to designate and issue preferred stock, which may have rights, preferences and privileges greater than Hudson'scommon stock and which could impede a subsequent change in control of us.Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock and to fix therights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these shares, without further shareholder approval. The rights of theholders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any additional preferred stock that maybe issued by us in the future. Our ability to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval could have the effect of making it more difficult for athird party to acquire a majority of its voting stock, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.If our common stock were delisted from NASDAQ it would be subject to "penny stock" rules which could negatively impact its liquidityand our shareholders' ability to sell their shares.Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must comply with numerous NASDAQ MarketPlace rules in order tocontinue the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the rules required to maintain theNASDAQ listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on NASDAQ, the market liquidity of our common stock may beseverely limited.Our management effectively control our affairs.Currently, our officers and directors collectively own approximately 36% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, our officers and directorsare in a position to significantly effect, and potentially fully control us and the election of our directors. There is no provision for cumulative votingfor our directors.

The Companytypically enters into short-term leases for its facilities and whenever possible extends the expiration date of such leases. The Company believesthat its insurance policies are adequate to protect the Company's property.Item 3. Legal ProceedingsOn April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant (the "1999 Release"), at its former leased facilityin Hillburn, NY (the "Hillburn Facility"), which the Company vacated in June 2006. A failed hose connection to one of the Company's outdoorstorage tanks allowed liquid R-11 refrigerant ("R-11") to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which the subjecttank was located.Between April 1999 and May 1999, with the approval of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC"), the Companyconstructed and put into operation a remediation system to remove R-11 levels in the groundwater under and around the Hillburn Facility.In September 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC, which was amended in May 2001, whereby the Company agreed tooperate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at the Hillburn Facility until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectivelyabated. In July 2005, the DEC approved a modification of the Order on Consent to reduce the frequency of testing from monthly to quarterly. TheCompany is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to the approved modifications to that Order on Consent and, as of December31, 2009, the Company has accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur inconnection with its compliance with the Order on Consent through December 31, 2011. There can be no assurance that additional testing will notbe required or that the Company will not incur additional costs, and such costs in excess of the Company's estimate may have a material adverseeffect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.In May 2000, the Hillburn Facility, as a result of the 1999 Release, was nominated by the EPA for listing on the National Priorities List ("NPL")pursuant to CERCLA. The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. InPage 11September 2003, the EPA advised the Company that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing of the Hillburn Facility on the NPLand that the EPA will not withdraw the proposal for listing on the NPL.In October 2001, the Company learned that trace levels of R-11 were detected in one of the wells operated by United Water of New York, Inc.("United") that is in the closest proximity to the Village of Suffern's ("Village") well system. No contamination of R-11 has ever been detected inany of the Village's wells and, since October 2002, the level of R-11 in the United well closest to the Village has been below 1 ppb. In September2004, the Village advised that it intends to continue performing additional sampling of its wells at a cost of approximately $5,000 per year and theCompany has reimbursed the Village for sampling costs through September 2005.The Company has exhausted all insurance proceeds available for the 1999 Release under all applicable policies.During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $76,000 and $34,000, respectively, in additional remediation costs inconnection with the matters above. There can be no assurance that the 1999 Release will not impact the Village wells, or that the ultimateoutcome of the 1999 Release will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can beno 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 theSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ frommanagement's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Companyevaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, valuationallowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") and commitments and contingencies. With respectto accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends ofpayment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated salesprices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company's valuationallowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future. The Company utilizes bothinternal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that theassumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.OverviewSales of refrigerants continue to represent a significant portion of the Company's revenues. The Company's refrigerant sales are primarily HCFCand HFC based refrigerants and to a lesser extent CFC base refrigerants that are no longer manufactured. Under the Act, in 2010, futureproduction of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants are scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants isscheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. To the extent that the Company is unable to source refrigerants on commercially reasonable termsor at all, or the demand for refrigerants decreases, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adverselyaffected.The Company has created and developed a service offering known as RefrigerantSide® Services. RefrigerantSide® Services are sold tocontractors and end-users whose refrigeration systems are used in commercial air conditioning and industrial processing. These services areoffered in addition to refrigerant sales and the Company's traditional refrigerant management services, which consist primarily of reclamation ofrefrigerants. The Company has created a network of service depots that provide a full range of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services tofacilitate the growth and development of its service offerings.The Company focuses its sales and marketing efforts for its RefrigerantSide® Services on customers who the Company believes most readilyappreciate and understand the value that is provided by its RefrigerantSide® Services offering. In pursuing its sales and marketing strategy, theCompany offers its RefrigerantSide® Services to customers in the following industries; petrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial power,manufacturing, commercial facility and property management and maritime. In addition, the Company has expanded its service offering outside ofthe United States through a strategic alliance with The Linde Group. The Company may incur additional expenses as it develops itsRefrigerantSide® Services offering.Page 14Results of OperationsYear ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 were $24,167,000, a decrease of $9,000,000 or 27% from the $33,167,000 reported duringthe comparable 2008 period. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in refrigerant revenues of $8,503,000 and adecrease in RefrigerantSide® Services revenues of $497,000. The decrease in refrigerant revenues is primarily related to a decrease in the numberof pounds of certain refrigerants sold. The decrease in RefrigerantSide® Services was attributable to a decrease in the numbers of jobs completedwhen compared to the same period of 2008. The Company believes that the decrease in 2009 volumes of refrigerants sold and the number ofRefrigerantSide® Service jobs performed were attributed to the overall poor economy and unseasonably cool weather in the 2009 year.Cost of sales for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $20,356,000, a decrease of $1,501,000 or 7% from the $21,857,000 reported during thecomparable 2008 period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the decrease in the number of pounds of refrigerant sold. As apercentage of sales, cost of sales was 84% of revenues for 2009, an increase from the 66% reported for the comparable 2008 period. Theincrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's cost of and reserves establishedfor refrigerants it sold.Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 were $5,025,000 a decrease of $869,000 or 15% from the $5,894,000 reportedduring the comparable 2008 period. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to decreased payroll expenses, which was due tocertain reductions in officer and other employee compensation, elimination of positions and to a lesser extent a reduction in professional fees.Other income (expense) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was ($1,400,000), compared to the ($1,167,000) reported during the comparable2008 period. Other income (expense) includes interest expense of $1,401,000 and $1,170,000 for the comparable 2009 and 2008 periods,respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributed to an increase in outstanding indebtedness.Income tax benefit for the fiscal ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $119,000 and $2,420,000, respectively. The tax benefits associated withthe Company's NOL's are recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize taxable income in future periods. The Company'sNOL's are subject to annual limitations and the Company expects to incur certain state and/or federal alternative minimum taxes for theforeseeable future.Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was ($2,495,000) compared to net income of $6,669,000 reported during the comparable2008 period. The net loss in the 2009 period was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit from refrigerant revenues and an increase in interestexpense, partially offset by a decrease in payroll expense and professional fees and, in 2008, the Company recognized a $2,420,000 income taxbenefit.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAt December 31, 2009, the Company had working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of $9,369,000 a decrease of$1,730,000 from the working capital of $11,099,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the net lossduring the 2009 period as well as a reduction in long-term debt and an increase in property, plant and equipment.Source: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had inventories of $16,410,000 adecrease of $7,203,000 from the $23,613,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the inventory balance is due to the timing and availability ofinventory 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 itcan be sold are subject, among other things, to current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company'sability to source CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer being manufactured, or non-CFC based refrigerants. At December 31, 2009, theCompany had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,594,000 a decrease of $137,000 from the $1,731,000 at December31, 2008. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigerationindustry 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 equitysecurities, and bank borrowings.Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, was $3,360,000 compared with net cash used by operatingactivities of $4,389,000 for the comparable 2008 period. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2009 period was primarily attributable to adecrease in inventory, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the net loss.Page 15Net cash used by investing activities for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, was $430,000 compared with net cash used by investing activitiesof $593,000 for the comparable 2008 period. The net cash used by investing activities for the 2009 period was primarily related to investment ingeneral purpose equipment for the Company's Champaign, Illinois facility.Net cash used by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, was $2,845,000 compared with net cash provided by financingactivities of $4,913,000 for the comparable 2008 period. The net cash used by financing activities for the 2009 period was due to repaymentsunder the Company's revolving line of credit and repayments of long term debt, offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock.At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $299,000. The Company continues to assess its capital expenditureneeds. The Company may, to the extent necessary, continue to utilize its cash balances to purchase equipment primarily for its operations. TheCompany estimates that the total capital expenditures for 2010 will be approximately $600,000.The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual cash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31,2009 (in 000's): Twelve Month Period ended December 31, 20102011201220132014TotalLong and short term debt and capital lease$6,132$4,013$965$ 20$ 6$11,136obligations (1) & (2)Operating leases64348715940--1,329Total contractual cash obligations$6,775$4,500$1,124$ 60$ 6$12,465 ============================____________(1) The contractual cash obligations included in the table includes both principal and estimated interest payments. Theestimated interest payments on revolving debt are based primarily on the interest rates in effect and the outstandingrevolving debt obligation as of December 31, 2009. (2) Long and short term debt and capital lease obligations include payment of obligations of outstanding principalamounts of debt as of December 31, 2009 and estimated future interest payments on the outstanding principal amountsunder the Company's credit facility which expires on June 20, 2011. On June 26, 2007, Hudson entered into a credit facility (the "Facility") with Keltic and on April 17, 2008, the Facility was amended to secure theparticipation of Bridge Healthcare Financial, LLC ("Bridge") and to provide for borrowings of up to $15,000,000. On August 12, 2009, the loanagreement evidencing the Facility was amended to, among other things, restate certain of the Company's financial covenants. On September 23,2009, Keltic advised the Company that it had acquired all of Bridge's rights under the Facility. The Facility consists of a revolving line of credit andtwo term loans, which expires on June 20, 2011. Advances under the revolving line of credit are limited to (i) 85% of eligible trade accountsreceivable and (ii) 55% of eligible inventory. Advances available to Hudson under the A and B term loans may not exceed $2,500,000 and$4,500,000, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the Facility bore interest at 6.5%. Substantially all of Hudson's assets are pledged as collateralfor its obligations under the Facility. In addition, among other things, the loan agreement restricts Hudson's ability to declare or pay any cashdividends on its capital stock. As of December 31, 2009, Hudson had $3,300,000 of borrowings outstanding and $3,000,000 available for borrowingunder the revolving line of credit.

As placement agent for the Offering, Roth received$101,000 and a warrant to purchase 73,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.4375 per share, plus reimbursement of itsexpenses of $56,000. The estimated fair value of the warrant was approximately $48,000 and such warrant was charged to additional paid incapital as compensation expense to Roth. As of October 1, 2009, the Company discontinued, and ceased pursuing future sales under, theOffering.In September, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 32,173 shares of its common stock to certain vendors and the Company expensedapproximately $44,000 as professional fees for these services.In May 2005, the Company purchased its Champaign, Illinois facility for a total purchase price of $999,999. The Company financed the purchasewith a 15 year amortizing loan in the amount of $945,000 with a balloon payment due on June 1, 2012. The note bears interest at 7% for the firstfive years and then adjusts annually based on prime plus 2%.In April 2008, the Company purchased approximately five acres of vacant land adjacent to its Champaign, Illinois facility for $300,000. TheCompany financed the purchase with a 15 year amortizing loan in the amount of $300,000 with a balloon payment due on June 1, 2012. The notebears interest at the fixed rate of 6.7% over the entire term of the note.The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future from anticipated cash flows fromoperations and available funds under the Facility. Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerantspurchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company's RefrigerantSide®Services and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future or to the extent that the Company doesnot renew or replace the Facility when it expires would adversely affect the Company's future capital needs. There can be no assurances that theCompany's proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, whichcapital may not be available.InflationInflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's operations.Reliance on Suppliers and CustomersThe Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin,non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gasbrokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand forrefrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company'srefrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. EffectiveJanuary 1, 1996, the Act limits the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federalregulations enacted in January 2004 also imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. In addition, effective January2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed furtherlimitations on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerantsis scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020 and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. Thelimitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in theprice of virgin HCFC refrigerants. To the extent the Company is unable to source sufficient quantities of virgin or reclaimable refrigerants in thefuture, 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, 2009 and 2008, no one customer accounted for more than 10% 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 servicesby any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.Seasonality and Weather Conditions and Fluctuations in Operating ResultsThe Company's operating results vary from period to period as a result of weather conditions, requirements of potential customers, non-recurringrefrigerant and service sales, availability and price of refrigerant products (virgin or reclaimable), changes in reclamation technology andregulations, timing in introduction and/or retrofit or replacement of CFC and non CFC based refrigeration equipment, the rate of expansion of theCompany's operations, and by other factors. The Company's business is seasonal in nature with peak sales of refrigerants occurring in the firsthalf of each year. During past years, the seasonal decrease in sales of refrigerants has resulted in losses particularly in the fourth quarter of theyear. In addition, during 2009, the Company experienced decreases inPage 17sales due, in part, to unseasonably cool weather throughout the spring and summer months, which adversely impacted demand for refrigerants.Delays or inability in securing adequate supplies of refrigerants at peak demand periods, lack of refrigerant demand, increased expenses, decliningrefrigerant prices and a loss of a principal customer could result in significant losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will notoccur and result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and significant losses. The Company believes that there is asimilar seasonal element to RefrigerantSide® Service revenues as refrigerant sales. The Company is continuing to assess its RefrigerantSide®Service revenues seasonal trend.Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, "The FASBSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

SFAS No. 168replaces SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" and establishes the FASB Accounting StandardsCodification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmentalentities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretivereleases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification hasbecome the exclusive authoritative reference effective September 30, 2009. This Form 10-K includes a dual presentation of the Codification andthe former reference.In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157"), (ASC 820-10) "Fair Value Measurements," which establishes aframework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as theprice that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods withinthose fiscal years. The FASB agreed to defer the effective date of Statement 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilitiesthat are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have amaterial impact on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141r") (ASC 805-10). FAS No. 141rrequires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fairvalues on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires the fairvalue measurement of certain other assets and liabilities related to the acquisition such as contingencies. FAS 141r (ASC 805-10) appliesprospectively to business combinations and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS 14lr did nothave a material impact on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB published EITF Issue 07-5 "Determining Whether an Instrument is Indexed to anEntity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5") (ASC 815-40) to address concerns regarding the meaning of "indexed to an entity's own stock" contained inFASB Statement 133 (ASC 815-10) "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This related to the determination of whether afreestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as equity or debt. If an instrument is classified as debt, it is valued at fair value, and thisvalue is remeasured on an ongoing basis, with changes recorded in earnings in each reporting period. EITF 07-5 was effective for years beginningafter December 15, 2008. Adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a financial statement impact on the Company.Item 7A.

Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and ProceduresThe Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officerand Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) ofthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, any controls and procedures, no matter how welldesigned and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily isrequired to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Furthermore, the Company's controlsand procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of thecontrol, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial ReportingManagement of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company asdefined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonableassurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statementsand the reliability of financial reporting.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

In addition, RefrigerantSide® Services include predictive and diagnostic services for industrial andcommercial refrigeration applications, which are designed to predict potential catastrophic problems and identify inefficiencies in an operatingsystem. The Company's Chiller Chemistry®, Chill Smart®, Fluid Chemistry ™, and Performance Optimization are predictive and diagnosticservice offerings. The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company. Unless the context requiresotherwise, reference to the "Company", "Hudson", "we", "us", "our", or similar pronouns refer to Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and in accordance with recently issued SFAS No. 165 "Subsequent Events"(ASC855-10), the Company's management has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2010, which is the date that the financialstatements were filed.In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all suchadjustments were normal and recurring.ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements represent all companies of which Hudson directly or indirectly has majority ownership or otherwise controls.Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accountsof wholly-owned subsidiaries Hudson Holdings, Inc. and Hudson Technologies Company.Fair value of financial instrumentsThe carrying values of financial instruments including trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value at December 31,2009, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short-and long-term debt approximates fair value, basedupon quoted market rates of similar debt issues, as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.Credit riskFinancial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investmentsand trade accounts receivable.

The Company reviews each customer's credit history before extending credit.The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors associated with the credit risk of specific accounts, historicaltrends, and other information. The carrying value of the Company's accounts receivable is reduced by the established allowance for doubtfulaccounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with ageneral reserve for the remaining accounts receivable balances. The Company adjusts its general or specific reserves based on factors that affectthe collectability of the accounts receivable balances.For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no one customer accounted for more than 10% 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 servicesby any such customer could have an adverse effect on the Company's future financial position and results of operations.Cash and cash equivalentsTemporary investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.Page 40InventoriesInventories, consisting primarily of refrigerant products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in first-out basis, or market.Property, plant, and equipmentProperty, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, including internally manufactured equipment. The cost to complete equipment that is underconstruction is not considered to be material to the Company's financial position. Provision for depreciation is recorded (for financial reportingpurposes) using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-linebasis over the shorter of economic life or terms of the respective leases. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.Due to the specialized nature of the Company's business, it is possible that the Company's estimates of equipment useful life periods may changein the future.Revenues and cost of salesRevenues are recorded upon completion of service or product shipment and passage of title to customers in accordance with contractual terms.The Company evaluates each sale to ensure collectability. In addition, each sale is based on an arrangement with the customer and the salesprice to the buyer is fixed. License fees are recognized over the period of the license based on the respective performance measurementsassociated with the license. Royalty revenues are recognized when earned. Cost of sales is recorded based on the cost of products shipped orservices performed and related direct operating costs of the Company's facilities. To the extent that the Company charges its customers shippingfees such amounts are included as a component of revenue and the corresponding costs are included as a component of cost of sales.The Company's revenues are derived from refrigerant and reclamation sales and RefrigerantSide® Services, including license and royaltyrevenues. The revenues for each of these lines are as follows:Years Ended December 31, (in thousands)20092008Refrigerant and reclamation sales$21,028$29,531RefrigerantSide® Services3,1393,636Total$24,167$33,167 ==========Income taxesThe Company utilizes the asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, which provides for the establishment of deferred taxasset or liability accounts based on the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities. The tax benefitassociated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards ("NOL's") is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognizefuture taxable income. The Company assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on its expectation that it will recognize futuretaxable income and adjusts its valuation allowance accordingly. As December 31, 2009, the net deferred tax asset is $4,120,000.Certain states either do not allow or limit NOL's and as such the Company will be liable for certain state taxes. To the extent that the Companyutilizes its NOL's, it will not pay tax on such income but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, to the extent that theCompany's net income, if any, exceeds the annual NOL limitation it will pay income taxes based on existing statutory rates. Moreover, as a resultof a "change in control", as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, which limits the Company's ability to utilize its existing NOL's. TheCompany's NOL's are subject to annual limitations ranging from $1,300,000 to $2,500,000.As a result of an Internal Revenue Service audit, the 2006 and prior federal tax years have been closed. The Company operates in many statesthroughout the United States and, as of December 31, 2009, the various states' statutes of limitations remain open for tax years subsequent to2004.Page 41 Income (loss) per common and equivalent sharesIf dilutive, common equivalent shares (common shares assuming exercise of options and warrants) utilizing the treasury stock method areSource: HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY, 10-K, March 01, 2010Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Actual results could differ from these estimates.Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimations. The Company bases its estimates onhistorical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form thebasis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under differentassumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverseeffect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to itsallowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its NOL's and commitments andcontingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on bothhistorical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluatesboth current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. Indetermining the Company's valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in thefuture.The Company participates in an industry that is highly regulated, changes in which could affect operating results. Currently the Companypurchases virgin, hydrochlorofluorocarbons ("HCFC") and hydroflourocarbons ("HFC") refrigerants and reclaimable, primarily HCFC andchlorofluorocarbon ("CFC"), refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act (the "Act") prohibited theproduction of virgin CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants. Effective January 2004, the Act further limited theproduction of virgin HCFC refrigerants and federal regulations were enacted which impose limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFCrefrigerants. Additionally, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federalregulations were enacted which impose further limitation on the use, production and importation of virgin HCFC refrigerants. Under the Act,production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out during the period 2010 through 2020, and production of all virgin HCFCrefrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. Notwithstanding the limitations under the Act, the Company believes that sufficient quantitiesof new and used refrigerants will continue to be available to it at a reasonable cost for the foreseeable future. To the extent that the Company isunable to source sufficient quantities of refrigerants or is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or experiences a declinein demand and/or price for refrigerants, the Company could realize reductions in refrigerant processing and possible loss of revenues, which wouldhave a material adverse affect on operating results.The Company is subject to various legal proceedings. The Company assesses the merit and potential liability associated with each of theseproceedings. In addition, the Company estimates potential liability, if any, related to these matters. To the extent that these estimates are notaccurate, or circumstances change in the future, the Company could realize liabilities, which would have a material adverse effect on operatingresults and its financial position.Page 42 Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed ofThe Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of anasset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets tothe future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized ismeasured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportedat the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, "The FASBAccounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (SFAS No. 168) (ASC 105-10).

Rules and interpretivereleases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification hasbecome the exclusive authoritative reference effective September 30, 2009. This Form 10-K includes a dual presentation of the Codification andthe former reference.In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB statement No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157"), (ASC 820-10) "Fair Value Measurements," which establishes aframework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as theprice that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods withinthose fiscal years. The FASB agreed to defer the effective date of Statement 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilitiesthat are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have amaterial impact on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141r") (ASC 805-10). FAS No. 141rrequires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fairvalues on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires the fairvalue measurement of certain other assets and liabilities related to the acquisition such as contingencies. FAS 141r (ASC 805-10) appliesprospectively to business combinations and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS14lr did nothave a material impact on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB published EITF Issue 07-5 "Determining Whether an Instrument is Indexed to anEntity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5") (ASC 815-40) to address concerns regarding the meaning of "indexed to an entity's own stock" contained inFASB Statement 133 (ASC 815-10) "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This related to the determination of whether afreestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as equity or debt. If an instrument is classified as debt, it is valued at fair value, and thisvalue is remeasured on an ongoing basis, with changes recorded in earnings in each reporting period. EITF 07-5 was effective for years beginningafter December 15, 2008. Adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a financial statement impact on the Company.Note 2 - Other incomeFor the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, other income consisted of interest income of $1,000 and $3,000, respectively.Page 43 Note 3 - Income taxesDuring the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company was subject to federal income taxes and state income taxes for the states thatdo not allow or limit the usage of NOL's of $21,000 and $180,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized atax benefit of $140,000 to reflect the current recoverable federal income tax paid for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2008, theCompany recognized a federal tax benefit of $2,600,000 related to the reduction of the valuation allowance relating to its deferred tax asset.Reconciliation of the Company's actual tax rate to the U.S. Federal statutory rate is as follows:Years ended December 31,20092008Income tax rates - Statutory U.S. federal rate34%34%- States, net U.S. benefits4%4%- Non-Statutory federal and state taxes(1%)--%- Change in valuation allowance(32%)(95%)Total5%(57%) ========As of December 31, 2009, the Company had NOL's of approximately $21,000,000 expiring 2012 through 2029.

In July 2005, the DEC approved a modification of the Order on Consent to reduce the frequency of testing from monthly to quarterly. TheCompany is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to the approved modifications to that Order on Consent and, as of December31, 2009, the Company has accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur inconnection with its compliance with the Order on Consent through December 31, 2011. There can be no assurance that additional testing will notbe required or that the Company will not incur additional costs, and such costs in excess of the Company's estimate may have a material adverseeffect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.In May 2000, the Hillburn Facility, as a result of the 1999 Release, was nominated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")for listing on the National Priorities List ("NPL") pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980("CERCLA.") The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. In September 2003, the EPA advised theCompany that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing of the Hillburn Facility on the NPL and that the EPA will not withdraw theproposal for listing on the NPL.In October 2001, the Company learned that trace levels of R-11 were detected in one of the wells operated by United Water of New York, Inc.("United") that is in the closest proximity to the Village of Suffern's ("Village") well system. No contamination of R-11 has ever been detected inany of the Village's wells and, since October 2002, the level of R-11 in the United well closest to the Village has been below 1 ppb. In September2004, the Village advised that it intends to continue performing additional sampling of its wells at a cost of approximately $5,000 per year and theCompany has reimbursed the Village for sampling costs through September 2005.The Company has exhausted all insurance proceeds available for the 1999 Release under all applicable policies.During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $76,000 and $34,000, respectively, in additional remediation costs inconnection with the matters above. There can be no assurance that the 1999 Release will not impact the Village wells, or that the ultimateoutcome of the 1999 Release will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can beno 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 theultimate outcome of such a listing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.Employment AgreementsThe Company has entered into a two-year employment agreement with Kevin J. Zugibe, which currently expires in October 2010 and isautomatically renewable for successive two-year terms unless either party gives notice of termination at least ninety days prior to the thenexpiration date of the then current term. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Zugibe is receiving an annual base salary of $192,800 with such increasesand bonuses as the Company's Board of Directors may determine. The Company is the beneficiary of a "key-man" insurance policy on the life ofMr. Zugibe in the amount of $1,000,000.Note 10 - Share-Based compensationShare-based compensation represents the cost related to share-based awards, typically stock options, granted to employees, non-employees,officers and directors. Share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and such amount ischarged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. For the year endedDecember 31, 2009 and 2008, the share-based compensation expense of $350,000 and $59,000 respectively, is reflected in general andadministrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.Share-based awards have historically been stock options issued pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1994, and 1997 stock option plans andthe Company's 2004 and 2008 stock incentive (the "Plans"), described below. The Plans may be administered by the Board of Directors or theCompensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board, or by another committee appointed by the Board from among its members as providedin the Plans. Presently, the Plans are administered by a committee consisting of non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2009, the Plansauthorized the issuance of stock options to purchase 5,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock and, as of December 31, 2009 there were2,809,000 shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance for future stock option grants.Page 48Stock options are awards, which allow the recipient to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a fixed price, are typically granted atan exercise price equal to the Company's stock price at the date of grant. Typically, the Company's stock option awards have generally vestedfrom immediately to two years from the grant date and have had a contractual term ranging from five to ten years.For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 551,000 and 220,000 stock options, respectively, and the fair value ofthese awards was $312,000 and $133,000, respectively. At December 31, 2009, there was $35,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related tonon-vested previously granted option awards.Effective October 31, 1994, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan") pursuant to which 725,000 shares of commonstock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) options intended to constitute incentive stock options("ISOs") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, ("Code") or (ii) nonqualified options.

Non-qualified options could be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees),employees or officers of the Company. Effective November 1, 2004, the Company's ability to grant options under the 1994 Plan expired.Effective July 25, 1997, the Company adopted its 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, which was amended on August 19, 1999, ("1997 Plan")pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) ISOs underthe Code, or (ii) nonqualified options. ISOs could be granted under the 1997 Plan to employees and officers of the Company.
