                             ACQUISITION OF ASSETS



  On November 8, 2001, CVD Equipment Corporation (CVD) purchased from
  Research Incorporated, Eden Prarie, MN, substantially all of the assets of
  their Research International division that operated their Surface Mount
  Technology (SMT) business. The division specializes in solder reflow ovens
  for the printed circuit board industry and chip scale package industry.
  Research International started selling solder reflow equipment in the
  1980's, and their product line is marketed throughout the world.

  CVD will be relocating these assets to our Ronkonkoma, NY location and will
  be operating this acquisition as a wholly owned division of CVD Equipment
  Corporation under the Research International name.

  This Form 8K is being submitted for information only.  No further
  information is required for this transaction as it falls below the
  threshold requirements for submitting additional data under SEC guidelines.
