The Client

 

A leading developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art control systems for high-precision manufacturing clients. Headquartered in Ohio with a branch office in North Carolina, the company has annual sales of $35 million. Its workforce of over 120 includes a staff of design engineers, electrical engineers and programmers expert in the development of leading edge control systems used by the food, pharmaceutical and aerospace industries.

 

The Opportunity

 

RnD Consulting was asked by management to assist them in identifying a potential source of additional cash flow by evaluating its R&D tax credit position. Through a detailed analysis of their design/development of new or modified control systems, research of alternative components and the design of manufacturing cells as well as tooling/fixtures, we successfully identified a significant number of activities and costs qualified for the R&D credit.

 

The Results

 

The client claimed their R&D credits and cash flow was enhanced by $1,200,000. Provided the R&D activities, costs and revenue continue at its present trend, the client should expect approximately $250,000 in annual federal tax savings in addition to annual state tax savings from state R&D credits.
