CVD Equipment Corporation Announces First Quarter Results

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., (PR Newswire)-May 13, 2005-CVD Equipment Corporation (Amex: CVV - News),
a global designer, manufacturer and supplier of equipment primarily used in the semiconductor
and printed circuit board industries, today announced its financial results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2005.

Revenue for the first quarter ending March 31, 2005 was $2,398,000, compared to $2,192,000 for
the quarter ending March 31, 2004, representing an increase of 9.4%. The overall gross profit
percentage increased in the quarter ending March 31, 2005 by 19.7%, to 32.2 % from 26.9% during the
quarter ending March 31, 2004. The increase in gross revenue and gross margin resulted in the Company
generating net income of $1,000 or $0.0 per share basic and diluted for the current period compared
to a net loss of $92,000 or ($.03) per share basic and diluted for the comparable quarter one year ago.

At March 31, 2005 our order backlog, this is comprised of customer orders that are expected to ship with
the next six months, decreased by 16.7% to approximately $2,023,000 from $2,430,000 at December 31, 2004.
Our backlog at any specific point in time is not necessarily indicative of actual revenues or earnings
for any succeeding period due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of
orders, and because backlog does not provide any assurance of a profit from these orders.

Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with our percentage
increase in gross profits year over year which is a direct result of our vertical integration, engineering,
cost reductions and increase in productivity. The gross profit increase should provide for improved
earnings in future quarters. Order levels during the first quarter were slow but in the beginning of
the second quarter we have seen order levels increase at a rate greater than in the first quarter."
