CVD Equipment Corporation Facility Expansion

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Nov. 12 -- On November 5, 2001, CVD Equipment Corporation (CVD) (Amex: CVV) entered into a contract to lease and subsequently purchase a 50,000 square foot facility on approximately 4 acres of land in Ronkonkoma, NY. The 50,000 square foot facility will eventually replace our current 20,000 square foot rented facility in Ronkonkoma, NY and provide room for expansion. The sale, which is subject to financing, is expected to close in March, 2002. Between now and closing CVD will be occupying up to 20,000 square feet of space in the facility. CVD has elected to purchase the facility at this time due to our need for additional space and the current environment that provides for low cost financing.
