                             FOR THE QUARTER ENDING
                                MARCH  31, 2002

                         BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


  The financial data is subject to year end audit and does not claim to be a
  complete presentation since note disclosure under generally accepted
  accounting procedures is not included.  Note disclosures required under
  generally accepted accounting procedures are included in the Company's
  audited financial statements filed as part of Form 10-KSB for the year
  ended December 31, 2001.  Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with
  these financial statements.

  The results of operations for the three months are not necessarily
  indicative of those for the full year.  In the opinion of management, the
  accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
  necessary to fairly present the financial position and the results of
  operation for the periods indicated.

                            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
  INTRODUCTION
  Statements contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB that are not historical
  facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of
  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without
  limitation, statements regarding industry trends, strategic business
  development, pursuit of new markets, competition, results from operations,
  and are subject to the safe harbor provisions created by that statute.  A
  forward-looking statement may contain words such as "intends",  "plans",
  "anticipates", "believes", "expect to", or words of similar import.
  Management cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to risks
  and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ
  materially from those projected.  These risks and uncertainties include,
  but are not limited to, marketing success, product development, production,
  technological difficulties, manufacturing costs, and changes in economic
  conditions in the markets the Company serves.  The Company undertakes no
  obligation to release revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect
  subsequent events, changed circumstances, or the occurrence of
  unanticipated events.


  FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
  Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
  Condition and Results of Operations constitute "forward looking statements"
  within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
  Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
  uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
  performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from
  any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by
  such forward looking statements.  These forward looking statements were
  based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important
  assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to
  differ materially from those in the forward looking statements.  Important
  assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
  materially from those in the forward looking statements, include, but are
  not limited to: competition in the Company's existing and potential future
  product lines of business; the Company's ability to obtain financing on
  acceptable terms if and when needed; uncertainty as to the Company's future
  profitability, uncertainty as to the future profitability of acquired
  businesses or product lines, uncertainty as to any future expansion of the
  company.  Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also
  involved in the derivation of these forward looking statements, and the
  failure of such assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also
  cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  The Company
  assumes no obligation to update these forward looking statements to reflect
  actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
  such forward looking statements.

  REVENUE RECOGNITION
  CVD recognizes and identifies on its financial statements, revenue on a
  percent complete methodology for contracts falling under SOP 81-1 and
  recognizes revenues on a completed contract methodology for contracts
  falling under SAB 101. CVD feels this is the most accurate and consistent
  methodology to meet the requirements of the two regulations.

           ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002

  REVENUE
  A decrease in volume resulted in first quarter of 2002 revenue being
  $1,889,919 a  46% decrease from first quarter of 2001 revenue of $3,474,816.

  COSTS AND EXPENSES
  The cost of revenue decreased to $1,249,316 in first quarter of 2002 as
  compared to $2,192,681 in first quarter of 2001. Of this $943,365 decrease,
  approximately $943,000 is attributed to material, $33,000 to manufacturing
  supplies, which is offset by an increase of $25,000 to salaries.

  Selling and shipping expenses decreased to $175,402 in first quarter of 2002
  from  $186,123 in first quarter of 2001. Of this $10,721 decrease,
  approximately $32,000  is attributed to commissions , $17,000 to freight
  expense, which is offset by an increase of $9,000 to salaries, $16,000 to
  royalties, $9,000 to travel expense and $4,000 to advertising.

  General and Administrative expenses decreased to $494,226 in first quarter
  of 2002 from $497,273 in first quarter of 2001. This change of $3,047
  represents a 1% decrease from the prior year.

  Interest expense increased by $5,684 from $17,318 in first quarter of 2001
  to $23,002 in first quarter of 2002, because the company's average
  outstanding debt increased.

  Interest income increased by $4,602 from $5,226 in first quarter of 2001 to
  $9,828 in first quarter of 2002, coinciding with the company's increased
  cash position from March 31st 2001 to March 31st 2002.



  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  By the end of the first quarter of 2002, the Company's cash position
  decreased to $1,889,660 from $2,361,150 at the beginning of the year. The
  decrease in cash is largely attributed to the cash layout for the new
  building, which $345,000 was for the acquisition and $6,800 for the design
  renovations.

  However, as part of the building acquisition and the associated mortgage
  transaction,  an escrow account was established. This escrow account was set
  up to fund the building renovation. This escrow account is not accessible by
  CVD Equipment Corporation, until the building renovations are complete, the
  mortgagee inspects the new facility and a new certificate of occupancy is
  issued. The initial escrow amount was $1,106,250 on March 7, 2002. Interest
  on this escrow to the end of the quarter was $1,206. Hence, the escrow
  balance at the end of the first quarter was $1,107,456.



  <PAGE>
  At the end of the first quarter of 2002, the Company's account receivable
  position increased to $1,238,424 from $ 1,212,237 at the beginning of the
  year. This increase was attributable to timing of customer payments and
  billings.

  At the close of the first quarter of 2002, the Company's backlog increased
  to approximately $1,929,210 from approximately $1,389,004 at the beginning
  of the year. This increase is attributed to a increase in order levels.

  The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from
  operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its
  working capital and investment requirements for the next twelve months.
  However, future growth, including potential acquisitions, may require
  additional funding, and from time to time the Company may need to raise
  capital through additional equity or debt financing.
