What does this mean for you? 

Check with your accountant or tax attorney for how this could affect your business.  Also, check with Marlin Financing about leasing options if you don't have all the cash right now.  You need to act by Dec 29.  Even though we may not be able to ship until 2017, the charge can be made in 2016 for your 2016 taxes.
