CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the
results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.

The Company uses estimated gross profit rates to determine the cost of goods
sold during interim periods on a portion of its operations. Actual results could
differ from those estimates and will be adjusted, as necessary, following the
Company's annual physical inventory in the fourth quarter.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

3. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within
our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive
industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the
automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

4. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including
environmental claims, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible
at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to
contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management
is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which
provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The recent quarter was more difficult than anticipated. The quarter
began with an increase in revenues compared with the prior year, building
expectations for a good start to 2003. Unfortunately, conditions changed
abruptly as our major customers reduced, or delayed, orders as the quarter
progressed. Revenues for the quarter amounted to $10,236,463, which is a
decrease of approximately 2% compared to the first quarter of 2002. Revenues
within the assembly equipment segment increased slightly, but that gain was more
than offset by the decline in revenues within the fastener segment.

The increase in volumes within the assembly equipment segment helped to
offset higher costs incurred for labor, raw material, health insurance and
utilities. As a result, gross margins within this segment were essentially
unchanged from one year ago. However, within the fastener segment, gross margins
declined, compared to the first quarter of last year, not only due to the
decrease in volume, but also due to significant increases in labor expense and
increases in the cost of employee health insurance, the cost of utilities, and
higher repair expense. The higher labor costs were due to the combination of
higher wage rates compared to the prior year and reduced labor efficiencies as a
result of our inability to reduce labor hours as quickly as demand declined,
particularly in the latter part of the quarter. First quarter selling and
administrative expenses increased modestly during 2003 compared to the first
quarter of 2002, due to increased payroll and fringe benefit costs. As a result,
net income for the first quarter of 2003 fell to $465,241, or $.48 per share on
966,132 shares outstanding, compared to $625,116, or $.65 per share on 967,132
shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2002.

During the quarter, the accounts receivable balance increased due to
comparatively higher volume of sales recorded during the first quarter, compared
with the fourth quarter. The accounts receivable balance as of March 31 was
comparable to the balance at the end of the first quarter of 2002. Inventory
levels, as of March 31, 2003, are somewhat higher than anticipated, due in part
to the reduction in customer shipping schedules that occurred in the latter
portion of the first quarter. Our production schedules have been adjusted to
compensate and we expect that inventory levels will decline during the second
quarter. At March 31, the balance due on the term note was $1.18 million, and
the average interest rate was 2.1%. The Company also has a $1.0 million line of
credit available through Bank of America. There is no charge for this facility
until it is utilized. We believe that current cash, cash equivalents and the
available credit facility will be sufficient to provide adequate working capital
to meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future.

Our markets continue to be extremely competitive and demand continues
to be constrained by the lingering weakness that has characterized the
manufacturing sector of the domestic economy for quite some time. We have taken
action to reduce labor costs, and we continue to pursue every opportunity to
secure new business. However, until there is sustained improvement within the
overall manufacturing sector, our margins will continue to be constrained by
lower than ideal levels of operation and by continued downward pressure on the
price of our products. In the interim, we will continue to focus our efforts on
controlling costs, improving profitability and obtaining new business.

The foregoing discussion is only intended to provide highlights of operations
for the periods covered. Additional information is contained in our Form 10-Q,
which has been filed with the SEC and is available to shareholders upon request
from the Company, or via the internet through the SEC's EDGAR database. This
discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements" which are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences
in events include, among other things, our ability to maintain our relationships
with our significant customers; increased global competition; increases in the
prices of, or limitations on the availability of, our primary raw materials; or
a downturn in the automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, and
which is cyclical and dependent on, among other things, consumer spending,
international economic conditions and regulations and policies regarding
international trade. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or
predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK

Over time, the Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes
in interest rates. The Company has not historically used derivative financial
instruments. As of March 31, 2003, $1.18 million of floating-rate debt was
exposed to changes in interest rates compared to $1.63 million as of December
31, 2002. This exposure was primarily linked to the London Inter-Bank Offering
Rate and the lender's prime rate under the Company's term loan. A hypothetical
10% change in these rates would not have had a material effect on the Company's
quarterly earnings.


CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 90 days prior to the
filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such
evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a
timely basis to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the Company's periodic
filings under the Exchange Act.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. Since the Evaluation Date, there have
not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect such controls.
