Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development

         The business of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the "Company") is conducted
through two distinct corporations. The parent company, CPI Aerostructures, Inc.
("CPI") is engaged in contract production of structural aircraft parts and
sub-assemblies for the commercial and military sectors of the aircraft industry.
In connection with its commercial assembly operations, CPI provides engineering,
technical and program management services to its customers. CPI also owns all of
the outstanding stock of Kolar, Inc. ("Kolar"), which manufactures precision
machine parts and sub-assemblies for the electronics industry, including
computer and microwave device manufacturers, as well as the materials handling,
aerospace and banking industries. As used herein, "CPI" refers to the aircraft
products business and the "Company" refers to the business of both CPI and Kolar
taken together.

         CPI was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in January
1980 under the name Composite Products International, Inc. The Company changed
its name to Consortium of Precision Industries, Inc. in April 1989 and to CPI
Aerostructures, Inc. in July 1992. In September 1992, the Company completed its
initial public offering with the Company receiving net proceeds of approximately
$4,600,000.

         Kolar was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July
1997 to acquire Kolar Machine, Inc., a precision machining and assembly
manufacturer located in Ithaca, New York. On October 9, 1997, Kolar purchased
substantially all of the assets of Kolar Machine, Inc. and the related real
property for approximately $14.5 million. The deal was accomplished using cash
and debt financing which was provided by the Chase Manhattan Bank and a
"seller's note."

Business of Issuer

         CPI is engaged in contract production of structural aircraft parts and
sub-assemblies for the commercial and military sectors of the aircraft industry.
The following table sets forth information relating to the approximate dollar
amounts and percentages of CPI's revenue from the commercial and military
sectors of the aircraft industry:

         Kolar manufactures precision parts and sub-assemblies for a variety of
different markets. Kolar accounted for approximately 71% (or $20,360,000) of the
Company's revenue in 2000 and 72% (or $15,500,000) of the Company's revenue in
1999.

Products

         CPI

         CPI's products are sub-assemblies (a series of parts fitted together to
form a complex aerodynamic structure). These products are incorporated into jet
engine housings (nacelles) by CPI's customers or aircraft manufacturers to form
final aircraft assemblies. CPI's products are custom designed and developed to
fit precise certification standards imposed by CPI's customers and applicable


                                     PAGE 3

<PAGE>

regulatory bodies. Due to the critical functions served by CPI's products,
sub-assemblies are often manufactured using durable, heat-resistant, and/or
light-weight metals, including titanium, inconel and various metal alloys
containing similar properties.

         CPI's principal  commercial aircraft products include aprons and engine
mounts,  which are  structures  used to attach jet engine  housings to aircraft.
Apron  assemblies are panels that function as the  aerodynamic  surface  between
pylons  (structures which attach nacelles to the wing or fuselage) and nacelles.
Aft fairing assemblies are the exterior portion of a pylon.

         CPI also assembles structural replacement parts for military aircraft,
including spoilers, flaps, ducts, skins and doors. Spoilers and flaps are
aerodynamic panels attached to the wings of an aircraft that enable an aircraft
to ascend and brake during takeoff and landing. Ducts are open panels to enable
free airflow within an aircraft. Skins are the outer layer of an aircraft. CPI
has the capabilities to produce additional aircraft products for both commercial
and military applications.

         Kolar

         Kolar's principal products include detail parts and major
sub-assemblies for high-speed machines that route printed circuit boards through
a series of operations while inserting and bonding components to the board. The
printed circuit boards are ultimately used in ATM machines, computers, and a
variety of other electronic devices.

         In the materials handling market, Kolar's customers produce high speed
equipment used for the weighing and measuring of cartons and containers.

Customers and Contracts

         CPI - Commercial

         Pursuant to long-term agreements with Rohr Industries, Inc. (owned by
B. F. Goodrich), a leading commercial aircraft supplier of nacelles, CPI
operates as a subcontractor under Rohr's production programs with The Boeing
Company. In June 1994, Rohr sold its corporate jet business to the Nordam
Corporation ("Nordam") and CPI's agreement with Rohr concerning the Hawker 1000
Executive Jet, an eight to ten seat aircraft, was transferred to Nordam. CPI
provides Nordam with engine mounts and all related sub-assemblies and
components, which are now used in connection with production of the Lear 60
Executive Jet. CPI's agreement with Nordam contains provisions that allow
termination of such contract at will, in whole or in part, at the convenience of
the customer and generally provides that the customer must reasonably compensate
CPI for work performed through the termination date. For the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 2000, sales derived from Nordam were approximately 23% and
24%, respectively.

         Generally, CPI's commercial agreements provide that the price for
products is subject to annual adjustment calculated in accordance with an
escalation formula (based on statistics published by the United States
Department of Labor), which account primarily for industry costs for labor and
materials. In addition, the agreements contain re-pricing provisions which
adjust the price under certain circumstances as a result of changes in the
scope, design, quantity or delivery schedule provisions.


         CPI - Military

         CPI supplies structural aircraft parts and sub-assemblies to the
military under prime contracts with several branches of the United States
Government. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, 77% and 76%,
respectively, of CPI's revenues were derived from military contracts.

         As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, CPI had eighty-two and one-hundred
thirteen military contracts, respectively, in various stages of completion.
Additionally, the Company has added forty-nine new military contracts since

                                     PAGE 4

<PAGE>

December 31, 2000. Contract terms are generally one to two years. Product prices
under these contracts are fixed. Each contract obligates CPI to deliver a
specific quantity of units according to specified delivery schedules. Each
contract contains re-pricing clauses, which adjust the fixed price for each
product delivered in the event that the government requests design, quantity or
schedule changes for products. CPI generally provides its own tooling to produce
products under military contracts. CPI typically recovers all of its tooling
costs under a contract following the delivery of the first unit produced. For
contracts with an aggregate dollar amount in excess of $100,000, CPI is
generally entitled to receive progress payments to cover approximately 90% of
CPI's total costs at the time of the request.

         Pursuant to military contracts, CPI provides a warranty which covers
defects in materials and workmanship for products delivered to the government.
The warranty provides for the replacement or repair of defective products. CPI
is not required under its contracts to carry liability insurance. Such contracts
incorporate by reference the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) which provide
that the government generally acts as a self-insurer for loss of or damage to
property that occurs after acceptance of delivered products and results from
defects or deficiencies of the products.

         Kolar

         Kolar operates almost exclusively on a purchase order basis with its
current customers. The one exception is the Purchase Agreement, described below,
entered into between Universal Instrument Corporation ("Universal") and Kolar in
November 1997. Kolar has long-standing relationships with its two major
customers, including Universal, which customers together comprise over 91% of
Kolar's revenues.

         During the later part of 2000, and into the first quarter of 2001,
Kolar has experienced a major downturn in the business it has received from
Universal. Universal's major customers are in the semiconductor and electronics
industries, and the worldwide slowdown in these segments has resulted in a
substantial reduction in the number of orders for equipment that Universal has
placed with Kolar. The Company anticipates at least a 50% reduction of revenue
derived from this customer during 2001.

         Universal has been Kolar's largest customer for approximately thirteen
years, and accounted for more than 81% and 77% of Kolar's revenues in 2000 and
1999, respectively. Kolar manufactures detail parts and a major sub-assembly for
Universal's high speed machines that route printed circuit boards through a
series of operations while inserting and bonding components to the board. Kolar
also produces numerous other detail parts for various applications in machinery
used by Universal. In November 1997, Universal entered into a Purchase Agreement
with Kolar setting forth the terms and conditions under which Universal is
purchasing products from Kolar. The agreement is for four years, unless earlier
terminated, however, it does not provide for any fixed quantities of sales and
is subject to Kolar's receipt of purchase orders pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.

         Hi Speed Checkweigher ("Hi Speed") is Kolar's second largest customer
and has been a customer of Kolar for approximately 40 years. Hi Speed accounted
for approximately 10% and 11% of Kolar's revenues in 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Hi Speed produces high speed equipment used for the weighing and
measuring of cartons and containers.

Production and Assembly

         CPI

         CPI's assembly operations consist primarily of incorporating component
aircraft parts supplied by third parties into complex sub-assemblies to satisfy
specific customer requirements and precision certification standards. CPI
subcontracts production of component parts in its assembly operations, which are
shaped, formed, welded and/or machined to specified configurations. This allows
CPI to avoid additional costs of extensive manufacturing and production
facilities, parts fabrication and expensive capital equipment. CPI's employees
process component parts to add drilling, routing, boring and other processes
prior to assembly. Components are placed, attached and incorporated into final

                                     PAGE 5


<PAGE>

assemblies by CPI-trained personnel. CPI's operations are generally conducted on
a five-day basis with single shifts. CPI packages its products in accordance
with specifications for shipment to its customers. CPI's customers are generally
responsible for arranging product shipment by common carrier.



         Kolar

         Kolar's production operations consist primarily of machining raw
materials such as aluminum and steel into component parts to satisfy specific
customer requirements and precision standards. In the assembly operations, Kolar
incorporates machined parts, which it manufactures, with components purchased
from subcontractors, to produce assemblies used in high speed, automated
equipment. Kolar packages its products in accordance with specifications for
shipment to its customers. Kolar is generally responsible for arranging product
shipment, usually using its own vehicles.


Marketing

         To date, substantially all of CPI's and Kolar's marketing activities
have been conducted by members of management. Such activities have consisted
primarily of personal contact with potential customers.

         CPI's sales cycle, which generally commences at the time a prospective
customer issues a request for proposal and ends upon execution of a contract
with the customer, typically ranges from six months to one year. A portion of
CPI's commercial marketing efforts involves responding to requests from
potential contractors. CPI obtains military contracts for its products and
services through the process of competitive bidding.

         In April 1999, the Company introduced its CPI and Kolar websites
(www.cpiaero.com and www.kolar.com). A prospective customer can learn about the
Company and contact management from such sites. Additionally, both CPI and Kolar
have signed agreements with a number of sales representatives to market the
Company's products to a broader base of customers.


Backlog

         CPI produces custom sub-assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and
customer purchase orders. Backlog consists of aggregate contract values under
basic ordering agreements or for production orders, excluding the portion
previously included in operating revenues on the basis of percentage of
completion accounting, and including estimates of future contract price
escalation. All of CPI's backlog is subject to termination at will and
rescheduling, without significant penalty. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
CPI's backlog was approximately $11.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively .

         Of CPI's backlog at December 31, 2000, approximately 18% and 82% is
attributable to commercial and military contracts, respectively. Approximately
$7.7 million (82%) of CPI's current backlog at December 31, 2000 is scheduled
for delivery during the year ending December 31, 2001.

Raw Materials, Suppliers and Manufacturers

         The Company makes extensive use of metals, including, titanium,
inconel, steel, aluminum and alloys as raw materials in the production of its
products. Rod, bar tubing and extrusions made of aluminum, steel and titanium
and other materials such as rubber and adhesives are also utilized. The
Company's decision to purchase certain raw materials is generally based on
required specifications of its customers. The Company purchases all of its
supply of metals and other raw materials pursuant to purchase orders from third
party distributors who purchase raw materials from original manufacturers

                                     PAGE 6

<PAGE>

located throughout the United States. The Company is attempting to maintain
alternative sources of supply for the Company's raw materials and believes that
alternative sources are currently available for most of such materials.

         CPI subcontracts production of substantially all component parts
incorporated into its products to third party manufacturers under firm fixed
price orders. CPI's decision to purchase certain components is generally based
upon whether such components are available to meet required specifications and
at a cost and delivery consistent with customer requirements. CPI, from time to
time, is required to purchase custom made parts from sole suppliers and
manufacturers in order to meet specific customer requirements. To date, CPI has
not experienced material delays in connection with obtaining custom parts.

         The Company generally does not maintain supply agreements with its
suppliers or manufacturers and purchases raw materials and component parts
pursuant to purchase orders in the ordinary course of business. The Company
believes that the supplies of materials through the end of 2000 will be
adequate.


Competition

         The markets for CPI's products are highly competitive. CPI competes
with numerous well-established foreign and domestic subcontractors engaged in
the supply of aircraft parts and assemblies to the commercial sector of the
aircraft industry, including Northrop Grumman Corporation, Aeronca, Inc.,
Shin-Meiwa and other subcontractors throughout the world. CPI also faces
competition from foreign and domestic prime contractors, including Nordam, all
of whom possess greater resources than CPI, thereby permitting such companies to
implement extensive production programs in response to orders from aircraft
manufacturers. The market for large commercial jet aircraft is dominated by The
Boeing Company and Airbus Industries, which typically contract production of
assemblies to a limited number of large commercial contractors. Consequently,
CPI's ability to increase market penetration in the commercial sector may be
limited by the relatively limited number of prime contractors in this market.

         CPI competes on the basis of price, development and production
capabilities and service. To the extent possible, CPI seeks to limit its
operations to the assembly of complex sub-assemblies while subcontracting
production of component parts, which allows CPI to avoid the significant costs
associated with maintaining capital equipment.

         CPI also faces competition from numerous military subcontractors. CPI
competes for military contracts on the basis of price. CPI is able to obtain
military contracts that are "set-aside" for small businesses.

         While the markets for Kolar's products are also highly competitive, its
track record of superior performance with its mature customer base has given
Kolar a slight advantage over new entrants into the precision machining
business, and specifically in the Upstate New York area.

         Kolar's two most significant competitors are DFF Corporation of
Massachusetts and Arlington Machine of New York State. DFF Corporation has a
large facility and assembly capability. Arlington Machine has excellent
machining capabilities. Both competitors have a price structure similar to
Kolar.

Government Regulation

         The Company is subject to regulations administered by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, various state agencies and county and local authorities acting
in cooperation with Federal and state authorities. Among other things, these
regulatory bodies impose restrictions to control air, soil and water pollution,
to protect against occupational exposure to chemicals, including health and
safety risks, and to require notification or reporting of the storage, use and
release of certain hazardous chemicals and substances. The extensive regulatory
framework imposes compliance burdens and risks on the Company. Governmental
authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and to
obtain injunctions or impose civil and criminal fines in the case of violations.

                                     PAGE 7

<PAGE>

         The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") imposes strict, joint and several liability on the
present and former owners and operators of facilities which release hazardous
substances into the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976 ("RCRA"), regulates the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and
disposal of hazardous waste. In New York, the handling, storage and disposal of
hazardous substances is governed by the Environmental Conservation Law, which
contains the New York counterparts of CERCLA and RCRA. In addition, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, which requires employers to provide a place
of employment that is free from recognized and preventable hazards that are
likely to cause serious physical harm to employees, obligates employers to
provide notice to employees regarding the presence of hazardous chemicals and to
train employees in the use of such substances.

         CPI's operations require the use of a limited amount of chemicals and
other materials for painting and cleaning, including solvents and thinners, that
are classified under applicable laws as hazardous chemicals and substances. CPI
has obtained a permit from the Town of Islip, New York, Building Division in
order to maintain a paint booth containing flammable liquids.

         The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all
federal, state and local laws and regulations governing its operations and has
obtained all material licenses and permits required for the operations of its
business.

Warranty

         Pursuant to all of CPI's commercial contracts, CPI warrants that
products will strictly conform to all specifications provided by the customer
and will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a specified period
(ranging from one to four years). CPI's liability is limited to repair or
replacement of defective products. Notwithstanding such limitation, CPI agreed
to indemnify the customers for any costs, damages, expenses or other loss or
liability incurred or paid (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of
asserted claims for property damage, personal injury or death, or any other
damages, including claims of consequential loss and breach of contract as a
result of, among other things, the performance of work, products or workmanship,
provided that such claims do not arise as a result of the sole fault of the
customers.

         Pursuant to military contracts, CPI provides a warranty, which covers
defects in materials and workmanship for products delivered to the government.
The warranty provides for the replacement or repair of defective products. CPI
is not required under its contracts to carry liability insurance. Such contracts
incorporate by reference the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) which provide
that the government generally acts as a self-insurer for loss of or damage to
property that occurs after acceptance of delivered products and results from
defects or deficiencies of the products.

         Kolar generally warrants its products to be free from defects in
materials, workmanship and manufacturing processes for a specified period,
ranging from one to four years from the date of shipment.

Insurance

         CPI maintains a $2 million general liability insurance policy, a $10
million products liability insurance policy, and a $5 million umbrella liability
insurance policy. Kolar maintains a $1 million general and products liability
insurance policy, and a $10 million umbrella liability insurance policy. The
Company believes this coverage is adequate for the types of products presently
marketed.

Proprietary Information

         None of CPI's current assembly processes or products are protected by
patents. CPI relies on proprietary know-how and confidential information and
employs various methods to protect the processes, concepts, ideas and
documentation associated with its products. However, such methods may not afford
complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not
independently develop such processes, concepts, ideas and documentation. CPI has
registered the name CPI Aerostructures and its logo as trademarks.

Employees

         As of April 10, 2001, CPI employed 23 full-time employees including its
two executive officers. As of April 10, 2001, Kolar employed 72 full-time
employees including one executive officer.

         The Company also employs temporary personnel with specialized
disciplines on an as-needed basis. None of the Company's employees are members
of unions. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Diversification Program

         In November 1993, management decided to diversify its operations. This
decision led to the acquisition of Kolar Machine, Inc. in October of 1997. Since
then, the Company has continued to review candidates for potential acquisitions.

Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's earnings, if any, its
capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors. The
Board of Directors does not intend to declare any cash or other dividends in the
foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain earnings, if any, for use in
the Company's business operations.

         In addition, the Company's Credit Agreement with its several lenders
provides that the Company may not declare or pay any dividend on its Common
Stock so long as any amounts are owing to the several lenders. See "Item 6.

Item 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing under Item 7 of this
Report.

         Certain statements discussed in this Report include forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Including the
timely delivery and acceptance of the Company's products, the timing of
commercial and government funding approvals, and the other risks detailed from
time to time in the Company's SEC reports.




General

         Consistent with industry practice, CPI uses the percentage of
completion method of accounting for its business. Under this method, CPI
recognizes revenues as costs are incurred under its contracts, measured by the
percentage of actual costs incurred to date against estimated total costs. Under
CPI's commercial contracts, CPI does not receive cash payments until products
are shipped. Accordingly, revenues may be recognized by CPI even though
associated cash payments have not been received. Provisions for estimated losses
on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in contract performance may result in revisions to costs and
income, which are recognized in the period in which revisions are determined to
be required. CPI's recorded revenues may be written-off in later periods in the
event CPI's cost estimates prove to be inaccurate or a contract is terminated.
For Kolar, revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to customers.


Results of Operations

         Year Ended December 31, 2000 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31,
1999

         The Company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 ("2000") was
$28,622,000 compared to $21,603,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999
("1999"), representing an increase of $7,019,000, or 32%. This increase reflects
a significant increase in sales in both the aerospace and machining segments.

         Gross profit for 2000 was $7,377,000 compared to $5,935,000 for 1999,
representing an increase of $1,442,000. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
for 2000 was 26%, compared to 27% for 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2000 were $4,645,000
compared to $4,018,000 for 1999, representing an increase of $627,000. This
increase is primarily attributable to the increased level of sales, which was
32%. Additionally, the Company wrote off approximately $301,000 of a receivable,
which may be uncollectible. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue for 2000 and 1999 were 16% and 19%, respectively. Interest
expense for 2000 was $1,154,000, compared to $1,117,000 for 1999, representing
an increase of $37,000.

         The net income for 2000 was $1,929,000 compared to $809,000 for 1999,
representing an increase of $1,120,000. Basic earnings per share was $.73 on
2,648,509 average shares outstanding compared to $0.31 on 2,648,509 average
shares outstanding for fiscal 1999. Diluted earnings per share was $.70 in 2000
on 2,763,888 weighted average shares outstanding compared to $0.30 in 1999 on
2,654,273 weighted average shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         General

         A large portion of the Company's cash has been used for costs incurred
on various commercial contracts that are in process. These costs are components
of "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts"
and represents the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted
contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and
earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in
accordance with contract terms. CPI's continued requirement to incur significant
costs, in advance of receipt of associated cash for commercial contracts has
caused an increase in the gap between aggregate costs and earnings and the
related billings to date.

         Net cash provided by operating activities for 2000 was $1,624,000
compared to $1,458,000 for 1999. This increase in cash was primarily
attributable to net income of $1,929,000 depreciation and amortization of
$1,678,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $238,000, a decrease in prepaid
expense and other current assets of $7,000, an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $368,532, an increase in income taxes payable of $8,440 and
an increase in interest payable of $65,000, offset by an increase in costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings of $465,000, an increase in inventory
of $1,775,000, a change in deferred income taxes of $390,000, and a decrease in
other assets of $70,000.

         Net cash used in financing activities was $1,504,000 in 2000, compared
to net cash used in financing activities of $1,512,000 in 1999. The Company
repaid long term debt of $2,829,000 in 2000, as compared to $1,512,000 in 1999.
Net cash used in investing activities of $243,000 for 2000 and $234,000 for 1999
resulted from the Company's purchase of additional machinery and equipment.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company's cash at December 31, 2000
decreased by $124,000 from the prior year to $172,000. The Company believes it
will have sufficient cash flow for 2001 to satisfy its cash requirements,
subject to successful restructuring of its existing debt, as described below.


         Financing Arrangements

         The Company has an agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank and Mellon
Bank providing a line of credit through June 30, 2001, which will be used for
working capital and other corporate purposes as needed. The Company has
available up to $2,500,000 under the line of credit, subject to limits based on
amounts of accounts receivable, as defined. Interest is at the bank's prime rate
(9.5% at December 31, 2000) plus 1.5%. The line of credit is secured by
substantially all assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2000, there was an
outstanding balance of $1,700,000 on this line of credit, which has been renewed
annually since its inception in 1997.

         On October 9, 1997, the Company incurred significant indebtedness in
connection with the acquisition of Kolar Machine, Inc. The Company entered into
a term loan agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank and Mellon Bank in the
amount of $9,400,000. This loan was payable in quarterly installments of
$587,000, plus monthly interest at the Bank's published prime rate plus 1.5%,
maturing December 31, 2001. This loan is collateralized by all of the assets of
the Company and its subsidiary. The Company also entered into a mortgage loan
agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank in the amount of $975,000. This loan is
payable in monthly installments of $9,487, including interest at 8.3%, maturing
October 31, 2007. This loan is collateralized by Kolar's land and building.
Additionally, the Company entered into a subordinated note agreement with Mr.
Daniel Liguori, the seller of Kolar, in the amount of $4,000,000. Interest only
is payable monthly at 8%, maturing January 1, 2002, payable 91 days following
maturity. This note is currently convertible into 333,334 shares of CPI Common
Stock.

         In December 1998, the Company re-structured its term loan agreement
with the Chase and Mellon banks. Under the new arrangement, the principal
payment due in December 1998, was deferred and will be amortized evenly through
December 31, 2001. Loan payments for 2000 were payable monthly, at the rate of
$200,000 per month through December 31, 2000. Commencing January 2001, the
amortization increased to $317,000 per month. Additionally, Mr. Liguori has

                                    PAGE 12


<PAGE>

deferred the Company's payment of interest to him for thirteen months, beginning
with the December 1998 payment. This deferred interest will accrue and become
payable upon maturity of the Mr. Liguori's note. Interest payments began again
in January 2000.

         The Term Loan Agreement with Chase and Mellon banks requires the
Company to maintain specified levels of working capital and other financial
ratios. At December 31, 2000 the Company was not in compliance with certain
covenants. Additionally, the Company was not in compliance with certain
covenants on March 31, 2001, the next compliance measurement date. As a result,
the Term Loan Agreement has been classified as a current liability in the
Company's financial statements. At the present time, the Company is in the
process of negotiating certain amendments to the Term Loan Agreement and its
note with Daniel Liguori to restructure its existing debt and its covenants. The
Company anticipates it will receive a waiver of its non-compliance with the
covenants. The Company also anticipates that Chase and Mellon banks will agree
to amend the covenants for succeeding quarters. If the Company does not
successfully restructure its existing debt and covenants, it may need to raise
additional capital in order to continue its business operations.


Inflation

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

Impact of Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company

         The impact of recently adopted accounting standards is discussed in

the discretion of the Board, subject to the terms of their respective employment

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




To the Board of Directors
CPI Aerostructures, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CPI
Aerostructures, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CPI Aerostructures,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

                                         CPI AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. PRINCIPAL        The Company consists of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI") and
   BUSINESS         its wholly owned subsidiary, Kolar, Inc. ("Kolar"),
   ACTIVITY AND     collectively, the "Company."
   SUMMARY OF
   SIGNIFICANT      CPI's operations consist of the design and production of
   ACCOUNTING       complex aerospace structural subassemblies under U.S.
   POLICIES:        government and commercial contracts. The length of the
                    Company's contracts varies but is typically between one and
                    two years for U.S. government contracts and up to 10 years
                    for commercial contracts.

                    Kolar's principal business is the precision computer
                    numerical control machining of metal products on a
                    contract-order basis. The Company operates in and
                    distributes from New York State.

                    CPI's revenue is recognized based on the percentage of
                    completion method of accounting for long-term contracts
                    measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date
                    to estimated total costs at completion for each contract.
                    Contract costs include all direct material, labor costs,
                    tooling and those indirect costs related to contract
                    performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools,
                    repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and
                    administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
                    Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in
                    the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in
                    job performance may result in revisions to costs and income
                    and are recognized in the period in which revisions are
                    determined to be required. In accordance with industry
                    practice, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
                    on uncompleted contracts, included in the accompanying
                    consolidated balance sheet, contain amounts relating to
                    contracts and programs with long production cycles, a
                    portion of which will not be realized within one year. CPI's
                    recorded revenue may be adjusted in later periods in the
                    event that CPI's cost estimates prove to be inaccurate or a
                    contract is terminated.

                    Kolar's revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to
                    customers.

                    Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
                    first-out method) or market.

                    The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which,
                    at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
                    has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company
                    believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on
                    cash.

                    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
                    original maturity of three months or less to be cash
                    equivalents.

                    Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and
                    equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over
                    the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the
                    life of the lease, for leasehold improvements.

                    At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the period
                    of amortization of intangible assets. The factors used in
                    evaluating the period of amortization include: (i) current
                    operating results, (ii) projected future operating results,
                    and (iii) any other material factors that affect continuity
                    of the business.

                                                                             F-6

                    The Company has incurred approximately $549,000 of costs of
                    obtaining debt, and has deferred such costs. These costs
                    will be amortized over the life of the debt. The unamortized
                    portion of these deferred financing costs, approximately
                    $130,000 at December 31, 2000, is included in other assets.

                    On June 24, 1999, the shareholders of the Company voted to
                    enact a one-for-three reverse stock split. All earnings per
                    share calculations, number of shares and equity transactions
                    have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

                    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                    accounting principles generally accepted in the United
                    States of America requires the use of estimates by
                    management. Actual results could differ from these
                    estimates.

                    In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
                    Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for
                    Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to apply
                    APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
                    for its stock options issued to employees and, accordingly,
                    does not recognize additional compensation cost as required
                    by SFAS No. 123. The Company, however, has provided the pro
                    forma disclosures as if the Company had adopted the cost
                    recognition requirements.

                    Basic earnings per common share is computed using the
                    weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
                    earnings per common share is computed using the
                    weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for
                    the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options and
                    warrants to purchase common stock. Incremental shares of
                    115,379 and 5,764 were used in the calculation of diluted
                    earnings per common share in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
                    The convertible securities attributable to the note payable
                    - seller (see Note 5) have been excluded from the fully
                    diluted computation as their effect would be antidilutive.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              (b)   The note is payable to a commercial bank in
                                    monthly installments of $9,487, including
                                    interest at 8.3%, maturing October 31, 2007.
                                    This note is collateralized by Kolar's land
                                    and building.

                              (c)   In 1997, the Company acquired substantially
                                    all of the assets of Kolar Machine Inc. The
                                    acquisition was partially financed through a
                                    $4,000,000 note payable to Mr. Daniel
                                    Liguori, the seller ("Seller") of Kolar
                                    Machine, Inc. The note payable to the Seller
                                    bears interest at 8% per annum. The Seller
                                    has deferred the Company's payment of
                                    interest on this note during 1999, and the
                                    accrued interest through December 1999 will
                                    be payable upon maturity of the Seller's
                                    note. Monthly interest payments began again
                                    in January 2000. This note matures April 1,
                                    2002. The note payable - Seller is
                                    convertible into 333,334 shares of the
                                    Company's common stock at any time prior to
                                    the maturity of the note.

                                (d) The Company leases equipment and automobiles
                                    under capital leases which expire at various
                                    dates through January 2006. The leases
                                    require monthly payments of principal and
                                    interest, imputed at interest rates ranging
                                    from 7.75% to 16.2%.

                    The note payable - bank (a) requires the Company to maintain
                    specified levels of working capital and other financial
                    ratios, as defined. At December 31, 2000 the Company was not
                    in compliance with certain covenants. Additionally, the
                    Company was not in compliance with certain covenants on
                    March 31, 2001, the next compliance measurement date. As a
                    result, the note payable - bank (a) has been classified as a
                    current liability. In addition, as a result of
                    cross-collateralization clauses in note payable - bank (b)
                    and other (d), all amounts due to the bank, $1,818,906 in
                    the aggregate, that would otherwise be included in
                    noncurrent liabilities is presented as current at December
                    31, 2000. The Company and the bank are in the process of
                    amending the covenants.

                    director's stock options was lowered to $9.00.

                    is equal to the closing price of the Company's shares on the
                    day of issuance, except for incentive stock options granted
                    to the Company's president, which are exercisable at 110% of
                    the closing price of the Company's shares on the date of

                    In 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the

                    issuance of either incentive stock options or nonqualified
                    stock options to employees, consultants or others who
                    provide services to the Company. The options' exercise price
                    is equal to the closing price of the Company's shares on the
                    day of issuance, except for incentive stock options granted
                    to the Company's president, which are exercisable at 110% of
                    the closing price of the Company's shares on the date of
                    issuance.

                    In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the
                    "2000 Plan"). The 2000 Plan, as amended, reserved 700,000
                    common shares for issuance. The 2000 Plan provides for the
                    issuance of either incentive stock options or nonqualified
                    stock options to employees, consultants or others who
                    provide services to the Company. The options' exercise price
                    is equal to the closing price of the Company's shares on the
                    day of issuance, except for incentive stock options granted
                    to the Company's president, which are exercisable at 110% of
                    the closing price of the Company's shares on the date of
                    issuance.

                    The Company has 5,112 options available for future grant
                    under the 1992 Plan, 21,667 options available for grant
                    under the 1995 Plan, 12,332 options available for grant

                    If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost
                    based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date
                    as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per

11. EMPLOYEE        On September 11, 1996, CPI's board of directors  instituted
    BENEFIT PLANS:  a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the
                    Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). On October 1, 1998, the
                    Company amended and standardized both the CPI and Kolar
                    plans as required by the Code. Pursuant to the amended plan,
                    qualified employees may contribute a percentage of their
                    pretax eligible compensation to the Plan and the Company
                    will match a percentage of each employee's contribution.
                    Additionally, the Company has a profit-sharing plan covering
                    all eligible employees. Contributions by the Company are at
                    the discretion of management. The amount of contributions
                    recorded by the Company in 2000 and 1999 amounted to
                    $184,373 and $119,627, respectively.


12. CONTINGENCIES:  From time to time, the Company is subject to routine
                    litigation incidental to its business. The Company believes
                    that the settlement of any pending legal proceedings will
                    not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
                    financial condition.


13. SEGMENT         The Company's operations are classified into two business
    INFORMATION:    segments: production of complex aerospace structural
                    subassemblies ("Aerospace") and computer numerical control
                    machining of metal products ("Machining").

limitation, the Committee has the authority (subject to the express provisions
of this Plan):

            (a) to select the officers, employees, directors and consultants of
the Company or any Subsidiary to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Reload Stock Options and/or Other Stock-Based
Awards may from time to time be awarded hereunder.

            (b) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the
terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited
to, number of shares, share exercise price or types of consideration paid upon
exercise of such options, such as other securities of the Company or other
property, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, exchange, surrender,
cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions, as
the Committee may determine);

            (c) to determine any specified performance goals or such other
factors or criteria which need to be attained for the vesting of an award
granted hereunder;

            (d) to determine the terms and conditions under which awards granted
hereunder are to operate on a tandem basis and/or in conjunction with or apart
from other equity awarded under this Plan and cash and non-cash awards made by
the Company or any Subsidiary outside of this Plan;

            (e) to permit a Holder to elect to defer a payment under the Plan
under such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish, including the
payment or crediting of interest on deferred amounts denominated in cash and of
dividend equivalents on deferred amounts denominated in Common Stock;

                                        3

<PAGE>



            (f) to determine the extent and circumstances under which Common
Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an award hereunder will be
deferred that may be either automatic or at the election of the Holder; and

            (g) to substitute (i) new Stock Options for previously granted Stock
Options, which previously granted Stock Options have higher option exercise
prices and/or contain other less favorable terms, and (ii) new awards of any
other type for previously granted awards of the same type, which previously
granted awards are upon less favorable terms.

            (h) to make payments and distributions with respect to awards (i.e.,
to "settle" awards) through cash payments in an amount equal to the Repurchase
Value.

         2.3  Interpretation of Plan.

            (a) Committee Authority. Subject to Section 11, below, the Committee
has the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules,
guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it from time to time deems
advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued
under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all Agreements
relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.
Subject to Section 11, below, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan will be made in the Committee's sole discretion and
will be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its
Subsidiaries and Holders.

            (b) Incentive Stock Options. Anything in the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock
Options (including but not limited to Stock Reload Options or Stock Appreciation
rights granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option) or any Agreement
providing for Incentive Stock Options will be interpreted, amended or altered,
nor will any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so
as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent
of the Holder(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such
Section 422.

Section 3.   Stock Subject to Plan.

         3.1 Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock
reserved and available for issuance under the Plan is 700,000 shares. Shares of
Common Stock under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and
unissued shares or treasury shares. If any shares of Common Stock that have been
granted pursuant to a Stock Option cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if
any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Stock Appreciation Right,
Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Reload Stock Option or Other
Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise
terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common
Stock, such shares will again be available for distribution in connection with
future grants and awards under the Plan. If a Holder pays the exercise price of
a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to
have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld
to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option
exercise, then the number of shares available under the Plan will be increased
by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to
pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option.

         3.2 Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc. In the event of any
merger, reorganization, consolidation, common stock dividend payable on shares
of Common Stock, Common Stock split or reverse split, combination or exchange of
shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which

                                        4

<PAGE>



results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, the
Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably
requires an adjustment in the terms of any award (including number of shares
subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the
Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 4.  Eligibility.

            Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and
consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant
services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have
contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the
Company. No Incentive Stock Option will be granted to any person who is not an
employee of the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of grant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an award may be made or granted to a person in connection with
his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an
agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or
retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs
services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion
of any such award will vest prior to the date the person first performs such
services.

Section 5.  Stock Options.

         5.1 Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of
two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. Any
Stock Option granted under the Plan will contain such terms, not inconsistent
with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent
with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The
Committee has the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified
Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in
addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock
Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it
will constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.

         5.2 Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options granted under the Plan are
subject to the following terms and conditions:

            (a) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option will be fixed by the
Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only
within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be
exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns
Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of voting stock of the Company ("10% Shareholder").

            (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock
purchasable under a Stock Option will be determined by the Committee at the time
of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the trading
day immediately preceding the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a
share of Common Stock); provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Shareholder will not be less than 110%
of the Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately preceding the date of
grant; and (ii) if the Stock Option is granted in connection with the
recipient's hiring, retention, reaching an agreement (oral or written) with the
Company with respect to such hiring or retention, promotion or similar event,
the option exercise price may be not less than the Fair Market Value on the
trading day immediately preceding the date on which the recipient is hired or
retained, reached such agreement with respect to such hiring or retention, or is


                                        5

<PAGE>


promoted (or similar event), if the grant of the Stock Option occurs not more
than 120 days after the date of such hiring, retention, agreement, promotion or
other event.

            (c) Exercisability. Stock Options are exercisable at such time or
times and subject to such terms and conditions as are determined by the
Committee and as set forth in Section 10, below. If the Committee provides, in
its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e.,
that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise
provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based
upon such factors as the Committee determines.

            (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment, exercise
and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options
may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option
by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by
payment in full of the purchase price, which will be in cash or, if provided in
the Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and
other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such
Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent
with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. Cash payments will be made by wire
transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the
order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not be required
to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an
Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and
available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the
case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the
last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable
after the exercise). Payments in the form of Common Stock will be valued at the
Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise. Such payments will
be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective
to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or
encumbrances. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, at the request of the Holder, deliver upon the exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Option a combination of shares of Deferred Stock and Common
Stock; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 of
the Plan, such Deferred Stock will be fully vested and not subject to
forfeiture. A Holder will have none of the rights of a Shareholder with respect
to the shares subject to the Option until such shares are transferred to the
Holder upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit a Holder to
elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by
irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a
sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and
remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire
Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

            (e) Transferability. Except as may be set forth in the next sentence
of this Section or in the Agreement, no Stock Option is transferable by the
Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all
Stock Options are exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder
(or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder's guardian or
legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the
approval of the Committee, may transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option (i) (A) by
gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in
either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder's "Immediate Family" (as
defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of
Holder's Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in
exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee
may establish, and the transferee will remain subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to the Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term
"Immediate Family" means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder's household
(other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than


                                        6

<PAGE>


fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or
the Holder) control the management of the assets.

            (f) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Holder's employment by the
Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by
such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the
Agreement, will thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of
such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be
exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the
Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other
greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the
date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option, whichever period is shorter.

            (g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Holder's employment by
the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock
Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set
forth in the Agreement, will thereupon automatically terminate, except that the
portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may
thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of 12 months (or such other
greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the
date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated
term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

            (h) Termination by Reason of Normal Retirement. Subject to the
provisions of Section 13.3, if such Holder's employment or retention by, or
association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates due to Normal
Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of
termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three years after
termination of employment (or such other greater or lesser period as the
Committee may specify in the Agreement) or the balance of such Stock Option's
term.

            (i) Other Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, if
such Holder's employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or
any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, or Normal
Retirement, the Stock Option will thereupon automatically terminate, except that
if the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without
cause, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of
termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after
termination of employment (or such other greater or lesser period as the
Committee may specify in the Agreement) or the balance of such Stock Option's
term.

            (j) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of
the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for
the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the
Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) may not exceed $100,000.

            (k) Buyout and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any time,
in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted,
based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee establishes and
communicates to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

        5.3 Stock Reload Option. If a Holder tenders shares of Common Stock
to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option ("Underlying Option") and/or
arranges to have a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise
withheld to pay the applicable withholding taxes, then the Holder may receive,
at the discretion of the Committee, a new Stock Reload Option to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares tendered to pay
the exercise price and the withholding taxes (but only if such tendered shares
were held by the Holder for at least six months). Stock Reload Options may be


                                        7

<PAGE>


any type of option permitted under the Code and will be granted subject to such
terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the
Committee from time to time. Such Stock Reload Option will have an exercise
price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the
Underlying Option. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Stock Reload
Option may be exercised commencing one year after it is granted and will expire
on the date of expiration of the Underlying Option to which the Reload Option is
related.

Section 6.   Stock Appreciation Rights.

         6.1 Grant and Exercise. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation
Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Stock Options under
the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Stock
Options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In the case of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at
or after the time of the grant of such Nonqualified Stock Option. In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the
time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

         6.2 Terms and Conditions.  Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to the
following terms and conditions:

            (a) Exercisability. Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable as
determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject to the
limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Stock
Options.

            (b) Termination. A Stock Appreciation Right will terminate and will
no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock
Option.

            (c) Method of Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable
upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee and set
forth in the Agreement and by surrendering the applicable portion of the related
Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Holder will be entitled to
receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SAR Value divided by the
Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

            (d) Shares Affected Upon Plan. The granting of a Stock Appreciation
Right will not affect the number of shares of Common Stock available under for
awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan
will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon exercise of the Stock Option to which such Stock Appreciation Right
relates.

Section 7.   Restricted Stock.

         7.1 Grant. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in
addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee determines the
eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted
Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to
be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards are subject to
forfeiture ("Restriction Period"), the vesting schedule and rights to
acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

         7.2 Terms and Conditions.  Each Restricted Stock award is subject to
the following terms and conditions:


                                        8

<PAGE>



            (a) Certificates. Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented
by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to
whom such Restricted Stock has been awarded. During the Restriction Period,
certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting
Retained Distributions (as defined below) will bear a legend to the effect that
ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the
enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions,
terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates
will be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or
other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit
transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any
securities constituting Retained Distributions that are forfeited or that do not
become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

            (b) Rights of Holder. Restricted Stock will constitute issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will
have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular
cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its
sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to
exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock
with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder
will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates
representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period has expired and
unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto has been fulfilled;
(ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates
representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other
than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board
may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain
custody of all distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with
respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions are subject to
the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted
Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which
such Retained Distributions has been made, paid or declared has vested and with
respect to which the Restriction Period has expired; (iv) a breach of any of the
restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or
otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or
Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any
Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

            (c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Restriction
Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of
any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such
Restricted Stock will become vested in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement, subject to Section 10, below, and (ii) any Retained Distributions
with respect to such Restricted Stock will become vested to the extent that the
Restricted Stock related thereto has vested, subject to Section 10, below. Any
such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest will be
forfeited to the Company and the Holder will not thereafter have any rights with
respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that has been so
forfeited.

Section 8.   Deferred Stock.

         8.1 Grant. Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in
addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee will determine
the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Deferred
Stock will be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to
any person, the duration of the period ("Deferral Period") during which, and the
conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the
other terms and conditions of the awards.

         8.2 Terms and Conditions.  Each Deferred Stock award is subject to the
following terms and conditions:


                                        9

<PAGE>




            (a) Certificates. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the
Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 8.2 (d) below, where
applicable), share certificates will be issued and delivered to the Holder, or
his legal representative, representing the number equal to the shares covered by
the Deferred Stock award.

            (b) Rights of Holder. A person entitled to receive Deferred Stock
will not have any rights of a Shareholder by virtue of such award until the
expiration of the applicable Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of
the certificates representing such Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon expiration of the Deferral Period will not be deemed outstanding
by the Company until the expiration of such Deferral Period and the issuance and
delivery of such Common Stock to the Holder.

            (c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Deferral Period
with respect to each award of Deferred Stock and the satisfaction of any other
applicable restrictions, terms and conditions all or part of such Deferred Stock
will become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to
Section 10, below. Any such Deferred Stock that does not vest will be forfeited
to the Company and the Holder will not thereafter have any rights with respect
to such Deferred Stock.

            (d) Additional Deferral Period. A Holder may request to, and the
Committee may at any time, defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of
an award) for an additional specified period or until a specified event
("Additional Deferral Period"). Subject to any exceptions adopted by the
Committee, such request must generally be made at least one year prior to
expiration of the Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock award (or such
installment).

Section 9.  Other Stock-Based Awards.

            Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations
under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in
part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common
Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the
Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock
awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or
exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock
and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance
of specified Subsidiaries. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone
or in addition to or in tandem with any other awards under this Plan or any
other plan of the Company. Each other Stock-Based Award is subject to such terms
and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

Section 10.  Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

         10.1 Non-Approved Transactions. If any "person" (as such term is used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange
Act")), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not
authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any
and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan
will be accelerated and all such Stock Options and awards will immediately and
entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right
to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock
Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective
agreements respecting such Stock Options and awards.

                                       10

<PAGE>



         10.2 Approved Transactions. The Committee may, in the event of an
acquisition of substantially all of the Company's assets or at least 50% of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities in one or
more transactions (including by way of merger or reorganization) which has been
approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any
and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan,
and (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish
such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an
amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award.

Section 11.  Amendment and Termination.

         The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend
or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension or discontinuance will be made that would impair the rights of a
Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the
Holder's consent.

Section 12.   Term of Plan.

         12.1 Effective Date. The Plan is effective as of March 30, 2000,
subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders within one
year after the Effective Date. Any awards granted under the Plan prior to such
approval will be effective when made (unless otherwise specified by the
Committee at the time of grant), but will be conditioned upon, and subject to,
such approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders and no awards will vest
or otherwise become free of restrictions prior to such approval.

         12.2 Termination Date. Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan will
continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted
and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten
year period following the Effective Date.

Section 13.   General Provisions.

         13.1 Written Agreements. Each award granted under the Plan will be
confirmed by, and is subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the
Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the
Committee, including any amendments thereto. The Committee may terminate any
award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and
returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to
the Holder for his or her execution.

         13.2 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an
"unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein will
give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company.

         13.3     Employees.

            (a) Engaging in Competition With the Company; Solicitation of
Customers and Employees; Disclosure of Confidential Information. If a Holder's
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason
whatsoever, and within one year after the date thereof such Holder either (i)
accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition
with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or
employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or
render services to the Holder or any business with which the Holder

                                       11

<PAGE>



becomes affiliated or to which the Holder renders services or (iii) uses or
discloses to anyone outside the Company any confidential information or material
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company's policies
or any agreement between the Holder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the
Company the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by such
Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is 12 months
prior to the date such Holder's employment with the Company is terminated.

            (b) Termination for Cause. The Committee may, if a Holder's
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, annul any
award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the
Company the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by such
Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is 12 months
prior to the date such Holder's employment with the Company is terminated.

            (c) No Right of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any
award hereunder will be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of
the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an
employee at any time.

        13.4 Investment Representations; Company Policy. The Committee may
require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option
or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in
writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to
distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
Stock Option or other award under the Plan will be required to abide by all
policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter
with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company's securities.

        13.5 Additional Incentive Arrangements. Nothing contained in the
Plan will prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the
granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise
than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases.

        13.6 Withholding Taxes. Not later than the date as of which an
amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal
income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the
Plan, the Holder will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to
the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If
permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be
settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that
gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under
the Plan will be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company
or the Holder's employer (if not the Company) will, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind
otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

        13.7 Governing Law.  The Plan and all awards made and actions taken
thereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York (without regard to choice of law provisions).

        13.8 Other Benefit Plans.  Any award granted under the Plan will not be
deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan


                                       12

<PAGE>


of the Company or any Subsidiary and will not affect any benefits under any
other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or
amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by
specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

         13.9 Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated,
sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or
charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge,
exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same will be void.

         13.10 Applicable Laws. The obligations of the Company with respect to
all Stock Options and awards under the Plan are subject to (i) all applicable
laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as
may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which
the Common Stock may be listed.

         13.11 Conflicts. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an
Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such
terms or provisions will be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict
with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not
contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the
Code, such provision will be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with
the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein
and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with
any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions will be
deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the
Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to
be included therein under the Plan, such provision will be deemed to be
incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had
been set out at length therein.

         13.12 Non-Registered Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be
distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or foreign
securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the
Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various
registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities
exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including the Nasdaq National
Market and Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
