(OTCBB: APIEF) today announced financial results for the first quarter of its 2004 fiscal year, ending August 31, 2003. Revenues for the three month period increased by 48.3% to US$2,434,080, up from US$1,641,595 posted for the same period in fiscal year 2003. Growth during the period was attributed primarily to US$611,962 in sales revenue from TM Systems, which was acquired by API in February 2003. Orders booked were US$2,134,805, in line with the US$2,142,272 recorded for Q1 of fiscal year 2003. API's backlog, which values unfilled orders placed with the company for the current fiscal year, is US$5,878,000 as of August 31, 2003. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was 74.7%, in line with the 74.0% of sales posted for the same fiscal 2003 period. Accordingly, the gross margin for the fiscal 2004 period was 25.3% and 26.0% for the fiscal 2003 period. API incurred a net loss of one half of one cent (-$0.005) per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 compared to six tenths of one cent (-$0.006) per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. The combined total of cash reserves and marketable securities held by API at the end of its fiscal first quarter was $3,256,744.

SCHEDULE "A" FINANCIAL INFORMATION See attached unaudited consolidated financial statements of API Electronics Group Inc. (the "Company") for the three-months ended August 31, 2003. SCHEDULE "B" See attached unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three-months ended August 31, 2003. SCHEDULE "C" Management's Discussion and Analysis Overview API Electronics Group Inc. ("API" or "Company") is a North American based company focused on the manufacture of specialized electronic components and microelectronic circuits. API Electronics, Inc. ("Electronics") is a leading designer and manufacturer of power transistors, small signal transistors, tuning diodes, hybrid circuits, resistor/capacitor networks, diodes, and other critical elements with precisely defined functional capabilities for advanced military, industrial, commercial, automotive and medical applications. The Company is a leading supplier of defence electronic components to the U.S. Department of Defence and its subcontractors as well as having a strong commercial user base. API's business strategy has been to strengthen its leadership position for its components through continued emphasis on technological advances, operational efficiencies, cost reductions, competitiveness and acquisitions. To this end, on May 31, 2002, API acquired all the outstanding shares of the privately-held "Filtran Group" (Filtran Inc. of Ogdensburg, New York; Filtran Limited, Canadian Dataplex Limited and Tactron Communications (Canada) Limited all of Nepean, Ontario, Canada). Filtran Group is a leading global supplier of superior quality electronic components to major producers of communications equipment, military hardware, computer peripherals, process control equipment and instrumentation. In business since 1969, Filtran Group is ISO 9001 registered and offers off-the-shelf and custom designed products and regularly ships components to clients in more than 34 countries. The acquisition broadens API's product offerings for current and potential customers as well as providing synergies in the areas of engineering and technological capabilities. In February 2003, the Company acquired certain assets (contracts in progress, inventory, machinery and equipment and intangibles) of TM Systems Inc. and commenced business as TM Systems II Inc. ("TM"). In business for over 30 years, TM supplies the defence sector with naval landing and launching equipment, flight control and signalling systems, radar systems alteration, data communication and test equipment as well as aircraft ground support equipment. The acquisition expands API's core-military and defence-related electronics business. The Company's objectives are to seek long-term stable growth for all of its operating segments (Electronics, Filtran Group, and TM) through continuous capital investment, employing today's production methods and technologies, and by demanding uncompromising quality control. Consolidated Results of Operations Three Months ended August 31, 2003 compared to August 31, 2002 Sales Revenue The Company continued to record strong sales growth in first quarter ended August 31, 2003. Revenues increased by 48.3% to $2,434,080 from $1,641,595 posted in first quarter ended August 31, 2002. The growth during the period was attributed primarily to the February 2003-acquired TM with sales revenue in the amount of $611,962. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin The cost of goods sold was 74.7% of sales in 2003 and reasonably in line with the 74.0% of sales posted in 2002. Accordingly, the gross margin for 2003 period was 25.3% and 26.0% for the 2002 period. Selling Expenses Selling expenses increased to $187,175 for the August 31, 2003 period from $139,629 for the period ended August 31, 2002. As a percentage of sales the 2003 selling expenses came in at 7.7% a slight improvement over the 8.5% posted in 2002. The 34.1% increase in selling expenses is consistent with the 48.3% increase in sales revenue. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased to $537,104 for 2003 from $361,051 incurred during 2002. As a percentage of sales, the 2003 general and administration expenses were 22.0% and this was consistent with the 22.0% posted in 2002. Several components of general and administrative expenses saw increases as a result of the February 6, 2003 acquisition of TM and the overall increase in sales revenue. The components that saw larger increases are as follows: Officer salaries - $84,918 (2002 - $33,406), rent - $42,974 (2002 - $9,664), office supplies and expense - $20,728 (2002 -$11,078). In addition, administrative depreciation and amortization rose to $170,155 (2002 - $55,270) as a result of the overall increase in the Capital and Intangible Asset base arising from the acquisition of TM. Management continues to emphasize efficiencies and control of overheads. It is anticipated that TM's operations will be fully integrated into Electronics' state-of-the art facilities in fiscal 2004. This should provide savings in overhead and administrative costs. Other Income and Expense Other income during the quarter was $11,116 in 2003 compared to $13,507 in 2002. Other expense relates to interest on long-term debt and the Company saw a decrease from $30,983 in 2002 to $23,651 in 2003. The decrease is attributed to lower debt levels in 2003. Net Income / Loss The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2003 of $121,029($0.005/share) compared to a net loss of $91,849($0.006/share) for the three months ended August 31, 2002.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Expressed in US Dollars) (Unaudited) August 31, 2003 and 2002 Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (the legal parent), together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, API Electronics, TM II and the Filtran Group. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All amounts are disclosed in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. Contract Revenue Revenue from contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is determined based on costs incurred, excluding costs that are not representative of progress to completion, as a percentage of total costs anticipated for each contract. Provision is made for losses on contracts in progress when such losses first become known. Revisions in cost and profit estimates, which can be significant, are reflected in the accounting period in which the relevant facts become known. Provisions for warranty claims and other allowances are made based on contract terms and prior experience. Non-Contract Revenue Non-contract revenue is recognized when risk and title passes to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of the product. Marketable Securities Temporary investments are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Inventory Raw materials are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Finished goods and work in process are stated at the lower of cost, which includes material, labour and overhead, and net realizable value. Cost is generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized using the straight-line basis over the following years: Buildings 20 years Computer equipment 3 years Computer software 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Machinery and equipment Ranging from 5 to 10 years Vehicles 3 years Website development 3 years
6 API Electronics Group Inc. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Expressed in US Dollars) (Unaudited) August 31, 2003 and 2002 Goodwill Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted the CICA handbook section 3062 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Goodwill is subject to an impairment test on at least an annual basis or upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets, including goodwill. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Management has determined there is no impairment in goodwill as of August 31, 2003. Intangible Assets Intangible assets which have a finite life are amortized using the straight-line basis over the following period: Non-compete agreements 5 years Customer contracts 5 years Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and available loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax assets will not be realized. Foreign Currency Translation The Company's functional currency is United States Dollars and the consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars, "the reporting currency". Integrated operations have been translated from Canadian dollars into United States dollars at the year end exchange rate for monetary balance sheet items, the historical rate for non-monetary balance sheet items, and the average exchange rate for the year for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. The gains or losses on translation are included in net income (loss) for the year. Self-sustaining operations are translated at current rates of exchange. All exchange gains and losses will be accumulated in the foreign exchange translation account on the balance sheet. 7 API Electronics Group Inc. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Expressed in US Dollars) (Unaudited) August 31, 2003 and 2002 Accounting Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. By their nature, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and the effect on the consolidated financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be material. Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company has a stock-based compensation plan which is described in Note 9.
