                        RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
                            UNFAVORABLE JURY VERDICT

         Pennsauken, NJ - January 27, 2003 -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (NNM: RCMT)
         announced today that on January 24, 2003, a New Jersey Superior Court
         jury returned a $7.6 million verdict against the Company in an action
         stemming from claims by two shareholders, who were formerly officers
         and directors of the Company, that they were wrongfully limited in
         disposing of their restricted shares. Prejudgment interest on the
         verdict will likely be sought. The Company believes that it has a
         substantial legal basis for securing a reduction of the verdict. Also,
         the Company will attempt to obtain a new trial on the damages award and
         plans to appeal any judgment that maybe ultimately entered against the
         Company. In addition, the Company is actively pursuing professional
         liability claims against its former transactional counsel that, if
         successful, would enable the Company to offset, in whole or in part,
         any liability it incurs to the plaintiffs in the pending litigation.

         The Company will record a charge and provide a legal reserve for the
         verdict in the approximate amount of $8.6 million. This charge will be
         reflected in the Company's financial results included in its annual
         report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

         Should the Company be successful in pursuing any of its various avenues
         of legal recourse with respect to the verdict, the legal reserve would
         be adjusted accordingly.
