Servotronics, Inc.'s Annual Meeting was held in Buffalo, New York on Thursday July 3, 2008. The Company's current activities were reviewed and presented. The Company is composed of two groups - the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and the Consumer Products Group (CPG). The ATG designs, develops and manufactures servo control and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, manufacturing equipment, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, machetes and combat, survival, sporting, agriculture, and pocket knives for both commercial and government applications.

The Company referenced the year 2007 as a record year with an 87.2% increase in net income to $2,052,000 on a 27.8% increase in revenues to $31,378,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Net income and revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,096,000 and $24,548,000 respectively. These results were part of an upward trend in annual revenues that have grown by more than 100% during the past 5 years that ended 12/31/2007. Increased revenue and net income were attributed to increased product shipments for commercial and government applications in conjunction with continuing cost containment activities.

The Company continues to expand in both domestic and foreign markets, exhibiting at major trade shows such as the Farnborough Air Show, Paris Air Show, Asian Aerospace Show and at MEDICA in Germany and numerous knife and cutlery trade shows. Servotronics, Inc. continues to be successful in diversifying ATG product applications as evidenced by the receipt of both prototype and production orders for products in the medical field, manufacturing equipment and various foreign applications. The CPG product applications are being expanded through new developments and acquisitions of related product lines.

Re-elected as Company Directors at the meeting were Dr. Nicholas D. Trbovich, Donald W. Hedges, Dr. William H. Duerig, and Nicholas D. Trbovich, Jr.
