                               2003 ANNUAL MEETING
                                  June 12, 2003


THE PROXY AND SOLICITATION

         This Proxy Statement is being mailed on April 28, 2003 to the
stockholders of Cohesant Technologies Inc. (the "Company") in connection with
the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the enclosed form of Proxy for the
2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 12, 2003. Any stockholder
signing and returning the enclosed Proxy has the power to revoke it by giving
notice of such revocation to the Company in a subsequently dated writing or in
the open meeting before any vote with respect to the matters set forth therein
is taken. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, in itself, constitute
revocation of a previously granted Proxy. The representation in person or by
Proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled
to vote is necessary to provide a quorum at the Annual Meeting. The nominees for
Directors receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. The proposals
regarding the amendments to the stock option plan and the ratification of the
auditors require approval only by a majority of the votes cast. As a result,
although abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the
outcome of any vote, they will be counted in determining whether a quorum has
been achieved. The cost of soliciting the Proxy will be borne by the Company.

PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING

         The Annual Meeting has been called for the purposes of (1) electing
five Directors; (2) approving amendments to the 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan
to increase the number of shares available for issuance and to extend its term;
(3) ratifying the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors of the Company for
fiscal 2003; and (4) transacting such other business as may properly come before
the meeting.

         The two persons named in the enclosed Proxy have been selected by the
Board of Directors and will vote shares of Common Stock represented by valid
Board of Directors' Proxies. They have indicated that, unless otherwise
indicated in the enclosed Proxy, they intend to vote for the election of the
nominees listed below and in favor of the proposals listed in Item 2 and 3
above.

         The Company has no knowledge of any other matters to be presented at
the meeting, except the reports of officers on which no action is proposed to be
taken. In the event that other matters do properly come before the meeting, the
persons named in the Proxy will vote in accordance with their judgment on such
matters.

VOTING SECURITIES

         The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 14,
2003 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the
meeting and to vote. On that date, 2,580,865 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding and entitled to vote on all matters properly brought before the
Annual Meeting.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

         The following report of the Audit Committee describing the Committee's
discussions with the Company's independent auditors and the Committee's review
of the Company's audited financial statements.

         Management of the Company is responsible for the Company's internal
controls and the financial reporting process. The Company's independent auditors
are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility
is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Committee operates pursuant to a
written charter, a copy of which was attached to the 2001 proxy statement.

         In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with
management and the Company's independent auditors. Management has represented to
the Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee
has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management
and the independent auditors. The Committee also discussed with the independent
auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No.
61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

         The Company's independent auditors also provided to the Committee the
written disclosures and the letter required by Independent Standards Board
Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the
Committee discussed with the independent auditors that firm's independence. Each
committee member is an independent director as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. listing standards.

         Based on the Committee's discussions with management and the
independent auditors and the Committee's review of the representations of
management and the report of independent auditors to the Committee, the
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated
financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended November 30, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         This report by the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be
incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference
this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto
furnished to the Company with respect to its most recent fiscal year and Form 5
and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to its most recent

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Company has an Employment Agreement with Morris H. Wheeler, its
Chief Executive Officer, which expires on December 31, 2003. Under the terms of
the Agreement, Mr. Wheeler receives a salary of $143,000, adjusted annually for
inflation. Under the Agreement, in the event of a "change-in-control" (as
defined in the agreement) and Mr. Wheeler's employment is terminated by the
Company for reasons other than "cause" or by Mr. Wheeler for "good reason," he
shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to two times his then base
salary. Additionally, the Company paid a fee of $50,000 in fiscal 2002 to an
entity controlled by Mr. Wheeler for the provision of office space for Mr.
Wheeler and other management support.

         In November 2001, the Company approved the sale of an aggregate of
99,999 shares of Common Stock to six executive and other officers of the Company
and its subsidiaries at a price of $2.56 per share. The Company received
promissory notes from each of the purchasers for the shares. Principal and
interest on the Notes is due in November 2005; the Notes bear interest at 4.13%.
The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase, in decreasing
percentages, the shares in the event of an individual's termination of
employment within three years.

         The Company has a Financial Advisory Agreement with Clarion pursuant to
which Clarion provides management support. Clarion receives a quarterly fee of
$13,000. Under the agreement, Clarion also performs additional specific
projects, as requested. Under the agreement, Clarion received $52,000 in fiscal
2002.

AMENDMENT OF THE EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

            Pursuant to the provisions of the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"), key employees of the Company, non-employee Directors of the
Company and consultants may be offered the opportunity to acquire shares of
Common Stock by the grant of stock options including both incentive stock
options (ISO's), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options. ISO's are not available to
consultants or non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors administers the Plan. The Committee has broad discretion to set the
terms and conditions of the options, provided that no option may be exercisable
more than ten years after the date of grant. Currently, there are approximately
45 employees and outside directors eligible to participate in the Plan.

          The Board of Directors has determined that it is desirable to amend
the Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the
Plan by an additional 184,000 shares, to an aggregate of 600,000 shares. The
Board believes this increase is necessary in order to continue to provide
adequate incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants. At
November 30, 2003 there were only 36,750 shares available for grant and the Plan
lacked sufficient shares for the grants that were proposed by management. The
Board of Directors increased the number of authorized shares, subject to
shareholder approval. The December 2002 grants of 100,000 options were made
subject to stockholder approval of the increase in authorized shares. As a
result of the proposed amendment increasing available shares by 184,000 the
Company will have 120,750 shares available for future grants. There are
currently 277,500 options outstanding, including the December 2002 grants, at an
average exercise price of $3.51. On April 14, 2003 the last sale price of the
Company's common stock was $3.71.

                                        6



         The Board of Directors also has determined that it is desirable to
amend the Plan to extend its life from June 30, 2004 to November 30, 2009. The
Board believes continuation of the Plan is necessary to provide adequate
incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants.

Option Plan. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of voting

be required for such approval.

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         On June 12, 2002 Cohesant Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
Arthur Andersen as its independent auditors. Simultaneously with the dismissal
of Arthur Andersen, the Company engaged Ernst & Young to act as its independent
auditors as successor to Arthur Andersen. During the two most recent fiscal
years and subsequent interim period, the Company has not consulted with Ernst &
Young regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (ii)
any matter that was either the subject of disagreement on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedures or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).

         The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors recommended the
dismissal of Arthur Andersen and, simultaneously, the appointment of Ernst &
Young as the Company's independent auditors. The Company's Board of Directors
adopted the Audit Committee's recommendations.

         During the year 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP provided various audit and
non-audit services to the Company as follows:

     (a)  Audit Fees: Aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered
          for the audit of the Company's first quarter review of financial
          statements in the Company's Form 10QSB Report. $5,000

     (b)  Financial Information Systems design and implementation Fees: None

     (c)  All Other Fees: $2,225

         During the year 2002, Ernst & Young LLP provided various audit and
non-audit services to the Company as follows:

                                       7



     (a)  Audit Fees: Aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered
          for the audit of the Company's year ended November 30, 2002 annual
          financial statements and review of financial statements in the
          Company's Form 10QSB Reports. $44,400

     (b)  Financial Information Systems design and implementation Fees: None

     (c)  All Other Fees: Principally tax return preparation and advisement.
          $26,465

         The Audit Committee of the Board has considered whether the services
described in sections (b) and (c) above are compatible with maintaining the
independent accountant's independence and has determined that such services have
not adversely affected Arthur Andersen LLP's or Ernst & Young LLP's
independence.

         The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Ernst &
Young LLP as auditors for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2003. The Audit
Committee requests ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP by the
stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors recommends that each
stockholder vote "FOR" ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors for fiscal
2003.

         Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the
meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and
are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
