1. The information set forth herein is unaudited. This financial information
reflects all normal accruals and adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods
presented.

         Revenue recognition
         -------------------

         The Company incurred costs for certain contracts which are long term.
These contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion method
(cost-to-cost) which recognizes revenue as the work progresses towards
completion. Revenues on the remaining contracts are recognized when the terms of
purchase orders are met.

         Included in other current assets is $910,000 of unbilled revenues which
represent revenue earned under the percentage of completion method
(cost-to-cost) not yet billable under the terms of the contracts.

         Reclassification of prior year balances
         ---------------------------------------

         Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

         Engineering and other support costs are incurred in fulfilling certain
contracts which have a production cycle longer than one year. A portion of these
costs will, therefore, not be realized within one year.

         During 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AsSEC) of
the AICPA released a Statement of Position on Reporting on the Costs of 
Start-Up Activities which is effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1998. The SoP requires that these one-time costs associated with 
the introduction of a new product line be expensed in the period incurred. No
start-up costs have been capitalized during 1998. Servotronics will be required 
to write-off any unamortized balances relating to start-up activities on 
January 1, 1999 which is estimated to be approximately $151,000.

                  Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were issued by a
government agency to finance the construction of the Company's new
headquarters/Advanced Technology facility. Annual sinking fund payments of
$170,000 commence December 1, 2000 and continue through 2013, with a final
payment of $2,620,000 due December 1, 2014. The Company has agreed to reimburse
the issuer of the letter of credit if there are draws on that letter of credit.
The letter of credit is for the full amount of the Industrial Development
Revenue Bonds. The Company pays the letter of credit bank an annual fee of 1% of
the amount secured thereby and pays the remarketing agent for the bonds an
annual fee of .25% of the principal amount outstanding. The Company's interest
under the facility capital lease has been pledged to secure its obligations to
the government agency, the bank and the bondholders.

         The letter of credit reimbursement agreement, the unsecured term note
agreement and a secured term note contain, among other things, covenants
relative to maintenance of working capital and tangible net worth and
restrictions on capital expenditures, leases and additional borrowings.

         The Company also has a $1,000,000 line of credit on which there was
$200,000 outstanding at March 31, 1998.

Earnings per share
- ------------------

       All earnings per share amounts reflect the implementation of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings per Share ("SFAS
128"). Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of
common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares
having a dilutive effect on earnings per share were outstanding for the period.

Management Discussion
- ---------------------

         For the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, approximately 20% and 21%
respectively, of the Company's revenues were derived from contracts with
agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors. The Company's
business is performed under fixed price contracts. It is noted that the many
uncertainties in today's global economy, and difficulty in predicting defense
appropriations (both actual and proposed) preclude any guarantees or even
assurances that current programs will be continued or that programs in the
prototype stages will ultimately result in production applications. It is
because of such uncertainties and because such adverse occurrences may not be
counterbalanced with new programs or otherwise, that cyclical downturns in
operational performances are realistic expectations.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         The Company's consolidated results of operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 showed an approximate 28% increase in net sales and
an increase in net income of approximately 50% when compared to the same three
month period of 1997. The increase in sales is the result of increased shipments
at both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products operations.

         The Advanced Technology Group's total backlog (funded and unfunded) as
of March 31, 1998 increased by approximately 25% from a year earlier. The March
31, 1998 total backlog is approximately $57,400,000 as compared to $45,900,000
of which $50,000,000 and $37,700,000 were unfunded in each of the respective
comparative periods. Approximately $38,000,000 of the March 31, 1998 backlog is
for product deliveries beyond 2000. The unfunded portion of the backlog is based
on the Company's customers' estimated quantities for multi-year agreements for
which the Company has not received firm orders.

         Operating profit as a percentage of net sales for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 increased to 4.3% from 3.2% for the same three month
period of 1997. The fluctuations in operating profit as a percentage of net
sales is a result of differences in product mix in combination with increased
sales.

         Selling, general and administrative costs increased for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the comparable periods of 1997 due to an
increase in selling and professional costs.

         Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased as a
percentage of income before taxes when compared to the comparable periods of
1997 due to the effects of variable state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Certain contracts of the Advanced Technology Group require development
and engineering costs in addition to hardware and the maintenance of inventory
for replacement and/or overhaul. The replacement and/or overhaul units are
billed at the time of shipment. The inventories at March 31, 1998, include costs
associated with the initiation and maintenance of certain programs and costs in
anticipation of increased demands upon the Company to support new programs and
the request of customers for shorter production lead times.

         During the three month period ended March 31, 1998, the Company
expended $187,000 on capital expenditures. The Company also has a $1,000,000
line of credit at March 31, 1998 of which $200,000 is outstanding at March 31,
1998.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10



         There are no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31,
1998.

Year 2000 Initiatives
- ---------------------

       The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of "Year
2000" issues on the processing of date-sensitive information by the Company's
computer systems. The Year 2000 problem relates to the ability of computer
systems to be able to distinguish date data between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries.

       The Company does not currently expect that these "Year 2000" issues will
have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results or
cash flows in the future.

         The Company is also taking steps to assess the Year 2000 status of its
significant product and service suppliers.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-QSB
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
such as those pertaining to the Company's capital resources and profitability.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company
derives approximately 20% of its revenues from contracts with agencies of the
U.S. Government or their prime contractors. The Company's business is performed
under fixed price contracts and the following factors, among others discussed
herein, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from
those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: uncertainties
in today's global economy, the growth of the national deficit and difficulty in
predicting defense appropriations, the discontinuance of current defense
programs, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to
purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company's customers to
fund and issue substantial follow-on orders to the Company for long-term
programs, competitive products and pricing, difficulties in the development or
commercialization of products, product demand and market acceptance, both for
the Company's products and its customers' products which incorporate components
supplied by the Company, enforceability of intellectual property rights,
capacity and supply, the effects of foreign competition, and the Company's
future accounting policies. The success of the Company also depends upon the
trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental
regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk factors discussed
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of 
the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking
statements.
