ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT


To the Board of Directors
CPI Aerostructures, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CPI
Aerostructures, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of operations for the nine-month and three-month periods
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the statement of cash flows for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements
are responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated March 29, 2002, except for the last paragraph
of Note 5, as to which the date is April 12, 2002, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.  EARNINGS PER  Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted
    COMMON SHARE: 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 564,200 and 435,841 were
                  used in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share
                  in the nine-month and three-month periods, respectively, ended
                  September 30, 2002.

                  The convertible securities attributable to a note payable have
                  been excluded from the fully diluted computation as their
                  effect would be antidilutive.

4.  DISCONTINUED  On January 22, 2002, the Company announced a decision made by
    OPERATIONS:   the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2001 to close the
                  Kolar facilities  located in Ithaca, New York, and liquidate
                  its assets through a public auction of its machinery and
                  equipment and the private  sale of its real estate.  On
                  February 21, 2002, Kolar sold a substantial portion of its
                  machinery and equipment at an auction conducted by
                  Daley-Hodkin Corporation at Kolar's main facility in Ithaca,
                  New York.  Proceeds from actual sales of machinery, equipment
                  and real property approximated $2,905,000 as of September 30,
                  2002.  The disposition of Kolar's operations represents a
                  disposal of a business segment under Accounting Principles
                  Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30.  Accordingly, results of the
                  operation have been classified as discontinued, and prior
                  periods have been restated.  For business segment reporting
                  purposes, Kolar's business results were previously classified
                  as the "Machining" segment.

                  Net sales and income (loss) from the discontinued operations
                  are as follows:

                  For the nine months ended September 30,      2002         2001

                                                                     $ 8,341,071
                  ==============================================================

                  (a) The note, as amended in June 2002, is payable to a
                      commercial bank in monthly installments from $50,000 to
                      $100,000 through May 30, 2003, and the remaining unpaid
                      balance at June 30, 2003, plus monthly interest at the
                      bank's published prime rate (4.75% at September 30, 2002)
                      plus 3.5%. This note is collateralized by substantially
                      all of the assets of the Company. Approximately $1,249,000
                      of this loan was repaid upon the sale of certain assets at
                      auction. The note requires the Company to maintain
                      specified levels of working capital and other financial
                      ratios, as defined. The line of credit of $1,700,000
                      previously listed separately on the balance sheet is now
                      incorporated into this note.

                  (b) The note is payable to a commercial bank in monthly
                      installments of $9,847, including interest at 8.3%. This
                      note is collateralized by Kolar's land and buildings. The
                      Company sold certain of the underlying land and buildings
                      during 2002 at an aggregate selling price of approximately
                      $555,000. The Company estimates that the sale of the
                      remaining land and buildings will yield proceeds
                      sufficient to repay the note in full.

                  (c) The note is payable to a commercial bank in monthly
                      installments of $20,000 through May 30, 2003, and the
                      remaining unpaid balance at June 30, 2003, plus monthly
                      interest at the bank's published prime rate (4.75% at
                      September 30, 2002) plus 3.5%. This note is collateralized
                      by substantially all of the assets of the Company and was
                      previously included in the capitalized lease obligations
                      payable of the Company.

                  (d) 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 the seller
                      ("Seller") of Kolar Machine Inc. The note payable to the
                      Seller bears interest at 8% per annum. The note will
                      mature ninety days after the maturity of the bank loans
                      but not later than June 30, 2007. Until then, it will
                      continue to accrue interest, which will be paid at
                      maturity together with the principal amount, pursuant to
                      the terms of the subordination agreement between the bank
                      lenders and Seller.  Seller is presently prohibited from
                      receiving current payments of interest on its note. 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. The note is subordinated to the
                      notes payable - bank.

                  (e) The Company leases equipment under a capital lease which
                      expires October 24, 2003. The leases require a monthly
                      payment of $10,227.02, including interest at 9.35%. As of
                      September 30, 2002, proceeds of approximately $674,000
                      were received upon the sale of certain leased equipment,
                      which amount was remitted to the owners of the equipment.

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including the timely delivery and acceptance of
the Company's products and the other risks detailed from time to time in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As a result of the Company's decision to close its Kolar, Inc. facilities and
liquidate Kolar's assets, Kolar's operations have been classified as
discontinued, and the following discussion does not take Kolar into effect
unless otherwise stated.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition
-------------------

The Company recognized revenue from long-term contracts over the contractual
period under the percentage-of-completion ("POC") method of accounting. Under
this method of accounting, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is
performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total
estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will
not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as
an asset captioned "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts." Contracts where billings to date have exceeded
recognized revenues are recorded as a liability captioned "Billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts." Changes to the original
estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are
reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin
percentage for a contract is reflected in cost of sales in the period the change
becomes known. The use of the POC method of accounting involves considerable use
of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the
amounts to accounting periods. The Company continually evaluates all of the
issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the
application of the POC method of accounting. In all other cases, the Company
recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped and title passes to the
customer or as services are performed.

Income Taxes
------------

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a
valuation allowance that represents federal and state operating loss
carryforwards for which utilization is uncertain. Management judgment is
required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax
assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the
Company's net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance would need to be
adjusted in the event future taxable income is materially different than amounts
estimated. We have recorded valuation allowances of $4,487,000 and $2,074,000
against our deferred tax assets at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively.

                                                                  AND SUBSIDIARY

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Material Changes in Results of Operations

The Company's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$17,988,748 compared to $10,631,958 for the same period last year, representing
an increase of $7,356,790 or 69%. This increase is largely attributable to an
increase in the number of government contracts.

Gross profit increased by $1,822,891 or 50%, from the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Gross profit as
a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 30%
compared to 34% for the same period last year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $655,034, or 57%,
from the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to the nine months ended September
30, 2002. This increase is largely due to legal fees associated with
restructuring existing debt. Interest expense increased $192,258 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period last year. The
increase in interest expense is from Kolar's debt shown for the previous year in
income (loss) from operations of discontinued segment.

The resulting income before operations of discontinued segment for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, was $3,638,215 compared to income before
operations of discontinued segment of $ 2,470,358 for the same period last year.
The 2002 results include income taxes computed at an effective tax rate of 15.9%
because the Company estimates that it will utilize $800,000 of its net operating
loss carry-forward. Basic income per share was $1.03 on 2,700,785 average shares
outstanding, compared to a loss of $.06 per share on 2,652,355 average shares
outstanding for fiscal 2001. Diluted earnings per share was $.89 on 3,136,626
weighted average shares outstanding compared to a loss of $.06 per share in 2001
on 2,652,355 weighted average shares outstanding.

The Company's revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was
$7,088,614 compared to $4,549,873 for the same period last year, representing an
increase of $2,538,741 or 56%.

Gross profit increased by $525,623 or 31%, from the three months ended September
30, 2001 to the three months ended September 30, 2002. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was 31%
compared to 37% for the same period last year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $468,507, or 152%,
from the three months ended September 30, 2001 to the three months ended
September 30, 2002. Interest expense increased $140,608 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period last year.

The resulting income before operations of discontinued segment for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, was $1,433,817 compared to income before
operations of discontinued segment of $1,376,699 for the same period last year.
The 2002 results include no provision for income taxes as the Company estimates
that it will utilize $500,000 of its net operating loss carry-forward. Basic
income per share was $.46 on 2,734,898 average shares outstanding, compared to
income of $.21 per share on 2,657,046 average shares outstanding for fiscal
2001. Diluted earnings per share was $.38 on 3,299,098 weighted average shares
outstanding compared to income of $.21 per share in 2001 on 2,690,380 weighted
average shares outstanding.

The current provision for income taxes was derived by applying statutory federal
tax rates to the income from continuing operations and offsetting the resulting
charge by the tax benefit associated with that portion of net operating losses
that the Company deems utilizable. The Company has operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $8,035,000 and $5,672,000 for federal and state income tax
purposes, respectively, expiring through 2021.

                                                                  AND SUBSIDIARY

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Material Changes in Financial Condition

At September 30, 2002 the Company had working capital of $5,164,339 compared to
a deficiency of $2,807,657 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $7,971,996. This
increase is attributable to a reclassification of approximately $4,900,000 of
debt to non-current liabilities and an increase in costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of approximately $3,250,000.

A large portion of the Company's cash has been used for costs incurred on
commercial and the numerous government contracts that are in process and which
do not allow progress payments. These costs are components of "Costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and represent
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.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 was $74,762. This decrease in cash was primarily the result of cash being
used for new contracts of $3,247,461.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 25, 2002, the Company and Kolar, Inc. ("Kolar", and together with the
Company, the "Borrowers") signed the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with
the several banks and other financing institutions or entities from time to time
parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent ("JPMorgan"),
restructuring their original debt facilities with JPMorgan (formerly known as
Chase Manhattan Bank) and GE Capital CFE, Inc. (as assignee of Mellon Bank,
N.A.).

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, one tranche ("Tranche A") of
the senior bank loans will be amortized at an amount beginning at $50,000 per
month, increasing to $100,000 during the term, with a final payment of the
balance due on June 30, 2003. The aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A
loan currently outstanding $2,431,571.

A second tranche ("Tranche B"), the amount representing the remaining mortgage
debt from the Kolar properties, will be repaid in monthly installments
accordance with the terms of the original Credit Agreement, with a final payment
on September 30, 2007. The aggregate remaining principal amount of the Tranche B
loan is $259,077.

A third tranche ("Tranche C"), the amount representing the net deficiency
arising from the sale of certain equipment previously leased to Kolar by
JPMorgan Leasing, Inc. (formerly Chase Equipment Leasing, Inc.), an affiliate of
JPMorgan, will be amortized at $20,000 per month, with a final payment on June
30, 2003. The aggregate remaining principal amount of the Tranche C loan is
$624,484.

In 1997, the Borrowers entered into a purchase money note agreement with Kolar
Machine, Inc. (now known as Ralok, Inc. ("Ralok")) in the principal amount of
$4,000,000. The note issued was originally due on June 30, 2002 and is secured
by a security interest on all of the assets of the Borrowers that is subordinate
to the security interest of the bank lenders. The note is currently convertible,
at Ralok's option, into 333,334 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Pursuant
to the terms of the subordination agreement between the bank lenders and Ralok,
Ralok was prohibited from receiving current payments of interest on its note. As
amended, the subordinated note issued in connection with the Kolar acquisition
will mature ninety days after the maturity of the bank loans but not later than
September 30, 2007. Until then, it will continue to accrue interest, which will
be compounded monthly and paid at maturity together with the principal amount.
As of September 30, 2002, $996,650 of unpaid interest has accrued.

The Company is currently exploring alternative financing for its existing debt
which will become due on June 30, 2003, including bank refinancing, public
and/or private placements of equity, other forms of debt, and a combination of
these methods. The Company believes one or more of these options will be
available to it.
