SERVOTRONICS, INC. (AMEX– SVT) ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Elma, NY -- Servotronics, Inc. (Amex – SVT) reported second quarter revenues of $3,945,000 and a net loss of $22,000 (or $(0.01) per share – Basic and Diluted) as compared to revenues of $4,300,000 and a net income of $133,000 (or $0.07 per share – Basic and Diluted) for the comparable period ended June 30, 2002. The six month period ended June 30, 2003 provided for revenues of $7,774,000 and a net loss of $93,000 (or $(0.05) per share – Basic and Diluted) as compared to revenues of $8,134,000 and a net income of $239,000 (or $0.13 per share – Basic and $0.12 per share – Diluted) for the same period in 2002. The Company’s positive cash flow from operations, liquidity ratios and backlogs continue to be strong.

The real and perceived threats of further terrorist attacks have added to the challenges of an already troubled commercial aerospace industry that has yet to rebound from the events of September 11, 2001. Increased government shipments are continuing to partially offset the reduction and stretch-outs in the depressed commercial aerospace industry. As previously reported, the Company’s Consumer Products Group, as the result of an intensive 2 year competition, was selected as the designer and manufacturer of the U.S. Marine Corps’ new combination combat knife and bayonet. Production shipments of this approximately 4 million dollar procurement of bayonet systems have commenced during the third quarter of this year and are scheduled through 2004 and into 2005. During the first and second quarters of 2003, the Company has been incurring significant front-end costs associated with prototype, preproduction and start-up activities for new programs and applications. These costs are expensed as they occur and, as such, are not matched to their future revenues and benefits as provided for under previous accounting standards. Such costs associated with expanded sales, marketing, engineering and M & A activities in combination with the increased costs of professional fees and corporate governance as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have been and are significant expense factors.

The Company is composed of two groups – the Advanced Technology Group and the Consumer Products Group. The Advanced Technology Group designs, develops and manufactures servo control and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, satellite launch vehicles, etc.). This group is currently providing products for a significant number of aerospace programs such as the F/A–18 E/F Super Hornet and other jet fighters; the Bell/Boeing MV-22 Osprey Tiltrotor Joint Service Aircraft, the Blackhawk, Apache, A–10 and other helicopters, the Standard Missile, numerous business and regional jet aircraft, Raytheon's Hawker Horizon Aircraft, Embraer TwinTurbo Fan aircraft, the Airbus 300 series and Boeing 700 series commercial aircraft, DeHavilland DHC8-40 and various other programs.

Servotronics’ Consumer Products Group designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, machetes and combat, survival, sporting, agriculture, and pocket knives for both commercial and government applications.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. (SVT) IS LISTED ON THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE.
