Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

-------------------

1. In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for results for
such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements
included in its 2002 Form 10-K.

2. Other income consists principally of interest on money market accounts and
dividends on equity securities.

3. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

4. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common
Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the
Income of the Company.

5. In fiscal 1989 the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the proceeds of a
loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common
stock for approximately $8.4 million and the Company contributed
approximately $400,000 to the ESOP, which was used by the ESOP to purchase
an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

As of March 31, 2003 there were 209,550 shares allocated to participants.


6. Total comprehensive income consists of:

7. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148 (FAS 148) "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure." FAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." The Company has elected to apply Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
in accounting for the Plan. Under APB 25, the Company uses the intrinsic
value method of accounting for stock options. The initial impact of FAS 148
on pro forma earnings per share may not be representative of the effect on
income in future years because options vest over several years and
additional option grants may be made each year.


The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to
stock-based employee compensation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and
cost estimation on our contracts.

Revenue recognition and cost estimation

A significant portion of our business is comprised of development and production
contracts which are accounted for under the provisions of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 81-1,
"Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts." Generally revenue on long-term fixed-price contracts are recorded on
a percentage of completion basis using units of delivery as the measurement
basis for progress toward completion.

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to estimating costs and making
assumptions related to technical issues and delivery schedule. Contract costs
include material, subcontract costs, labor and an allocation of indirect costs.
The estimation of cost at completion of a contract is subject to numerous
variables involving contract costs and estimates as to the length of time to
complete the contract. Given the significance of the estimation processes and
judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of
contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on
changes in circumstances, in the estimation of cost at completion. When a change
in contract value or estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in
current period earnings.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, (fiscal 2003) were
$15,573,319 as compared to $14,401,620 for the same period in 2002, an 8%
increase. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $5,707,503 as
compared to $4,616,587 for the same period in 2002, a 24% increase. The
Company's increase in sales for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2003, as compared to March 31, 2002, is due to an increase in power supply,
transmitter, and transformer component shipments.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2003 gross profits increased to
$1,937,073 as compared with $1,901,170 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002.
The increase in gross profit for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003, as
compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2002, was the result of an 8%
increase in sales partially offset by higher cost of sales as a percentage of
total sales for the period. The cost of sales increase was primarily due to
higher engineering and prototype development costs.

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $464,797 or $.45 per
share compared to $498,333 or $.48 per share for the corresponding period ended
March 31, 2002. The decrease in net income for the nine-month period was caused
by an increase of $117,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses
partially offset by the slight increase in gross profit. (See discussion below
on selling, general and administrative costs)

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 gross profit increased to $1,223,106
as compared to $700,016 for the same period in 2002. For the three months ended
March 31, 2003 net income increased to $575,586 as compared to $212,644 for the
same period in 2002. The increase in gross profit and net income for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period last year
was the result of a 24% increase in sales and a favorable mix of product
shipments. The favorable product mix occurred as the Company, during this
three-month period, shipped more production orders, which normally have higher
profit margins, than engineering design and prototype development orders.

6



Management continues to evaluate the Company's workforce to ensure that
production and overall execution of the backlog orders and additional
anticipated orders are successfully performed in a cost effective manner.
Employment at March 31, 2003 was 192 people compared to March 31, 2002 when 189
people were employed.

The backlog at March 31, 2003 was approximately $ 22.6 million a decrease of
approximately $3.6 million from the prior year. Management continues to market
the engineering capabilities and products of the Company. Currently,
approximately $30 million in quotations are outstanding to various customers of
the Company. New orders for the quarter totaled approximately $2.8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,446,007 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $116,523, or 8.8%, as compared to the nine
months ended March 31, 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$479,353 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $71,003, or
17.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is
primarily due to an increase in selling, energy, and insurance costs.

Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 decreased as compared to
the nine months ended March 31, 2002 due to lower interest income for both
periods associated with lower interest rates. Other income for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 increased to $23,695 as compared to $12,118 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This increase is due to a loss on disposal of fixed
assets during the 2002 third quarter. The Company does not believe there is
significant risk associated with its investment policy, since a majority of the
investments are preferred equity securities and a money market account.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $ 23.7 million compared
to $23.0 million at March 31, 2002. The Company meets its short-term financing
needs through cash from operations and when necessary, from its existing cash
and cash equivalents.

The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the periods indicated:



Nine Months Ended March 31,
-----------------------------
2003 2002
-------- --------


Net cash provided by operating activities $383,502 $4,391,658
Net cash provided by investing activities 13,164 80,103
Net cash used in financing activities (521,532) (197,762)



Net cash provided by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily
as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection of
accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, level of sales and payment of
accounts payable. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities is
due to the increase in additions to plant, property and equipment. The increase
in net cash used in financing activities is due to increased treasury stock
purchases.

The Company currently believes that the cash generated from operations and when
necessary, from cash and cash equivalents or advance payments from customers,
will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding requirements. Management if
necessary, has at its disposal an uncommitted $3,000,000 line of credit to help
fund further growth. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 capital
expenditures were approximately $390,000.

Since the debt of the Company's ESOP is not to an outside party the Company has
eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Income the offsetting items of
interest income and interest expense relating to ESOP.

7



During the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company repurchased
15,518 shares of its common stock from the Company's ESOP and through other
public transactions for a total of $303,188. As of March 31, 2003, under
existing Board authorization, $992,267 could be utilized to repurchase shares of
company stock. As of March 31, 2003, 1,000 stock options were exercised under
the Company's existing stock option plan.


New Accounting Standards

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123.
This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123
to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB
Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those
effects in interim financial reporting. For entities that voluntarily change to
the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation,
the transition provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2002. For all other companies, the disclosure provisions and the amendment
to APB No. 28 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15,
2002. The Company does not intend to adopt the transition provisions of the
Statement and has made all required disclosures as of March 31, 2003.


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

It should be noted that in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations are "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The terms "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "goal,"
"expect," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements represent the Company's current expectations or
beliefs concerning future events. The matters covered by these statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements,
including the Company's dependence on timely development, introduction and
customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competition and price
erosion, as well as supply and manufacturing constraints and other risks and
uncertainties. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the
Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. The Company
wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.




Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, an evaluation
was conducted under the supervision of and with the participation of Espey's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that all material information related to the
company and its consolidated subsidiary is made known to them, particularly
during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared. Subsequent to
the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their
evaluation, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls, or
in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses. It should be noted that the design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of
how remote.

or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated
