Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On October 9, 1997, CPI Aerostructures, Inc., a New York corporation
(the "Company"), completed the acquisition (the "Closing") of Kolar Machine,
Inc., an Ithaca, New York corporation (the "Seller"). On September 9, 1997,
the Company had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement")
with the Seller and the Seller's President pursuant to which Kolar, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Buyer"),
agreed to acquire certain tangible and intangible assets associated with the
business (the "Business") of the Seller. The Seller has been engaged in the
business of precision machining and assembly manufacturing, servicing the
electronics industry, including computer and microwave device manufacturers,
as well as the materials handling, aerospace and banking industries. Upon the
Closing, the Seller ceased to operate the Business, which was reconstituted as
a new business of the Buyer.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at the Closing the Buyer paid
to the Seller $9,400,000 in immediately available funds by wire transfer and
issued its $4,000,000 promissory note to the Seller (the "Note"). In addition,
pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer separately purchased from the Seller's
President certain real property that he owned and that is associated with the
Business for $1,500,000. The Note is convertible by Seller, in whole or in
part, commencing in February 1998 in no less than 100,000 share increments
into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company financed the
acquisition of the Business substantially from The Chase Manhattan Bank and
through the exercise of warrants issued in a May 1996 private placement.
