PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

General

We are a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. We perform a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design, testing and
other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts with corporations and government agencies in the markets for aerospace & defense electronics, truck components & assemblies, and for users of
test & measurement equipment.

We focus on those markets where we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to
sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry leaders that embrace multi-year contractual relationships as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are
sole-source by part number and are for terms of up to six years, enable us to invest in leading-edge technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity, flexibility and economies of scale that result become an important means
for differentiating ourselves from the competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.

Truck
Components & Assemblies. We are a significant supplier of forged and machined drive train components for medium and heavy-duty trucks in North America. We produce drive axle shafts, gear sets, differential cases, steer axle forgings,
and other components under multi-year, sole-source contracts with ArvinMeritor, Inc. (ArvinMeritor) and Dana Holding Corporation (Dana), the two primary providers of drive train assemblies for use by the leading truck manufacturers, including Ford
Motor Company (Ford), Freightliner LLC (Freightliner), Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack), Navistar International Corporation (Navistar), PACCAR, Inc. (PACCAR) and Volvo Truck Corporation (Volvo). We also supply ArvinMeritor with trailer axle beams for use by
the leading trailer manufacturers, including Great Dane Limited Partnership (Great Dane), Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai), Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton), Trailmobile Corporation (Trailmobile), Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility)
and Wabash National Corporation (Wabash). Additionally, during 2008, within the light vehicle market, we supplied Dana with full float tubes and we supplied Ford with axle shafts for the F150, F250, F350 and Ranger series pickup trucks, the
Expedition, Lincoln Navigator and the Mustang GT, although these revenues are not expected to continue in 2009. We continue to support our customers strategies to outsource non-core operations by supplying additional components and providing
additional value added operations for drive train assemblies. During 2008, the automotive industry experienced a severe recession highlighted by an unprecedented plunge in industry volumes by the end of the year. The industry was significantly
affected by deteriorating global economic conditions, unstable credit markets and declining consumer confidence. We expect this downturn to continue through 2009. Our truck components & assemblies business accounted for approximately 56% of
net revenue in 2008.

Aerospace & Defense Electronics. We are an established supplier of manufacturing services for the
production of complex circuit cards, high-level assemblies and subsystems. We have historically had long-term relationships with many of the leading aerospace & defense contractors, including Boeing Company (Boeing), General Dynamics
Corporation (General Dynamics), Honeywell International, Inc. (Honeywell), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed), Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop Grumman) and Raytheon Company (Raytheon). We currently manufacture complex circuit card
assemblies under multi-year contracts with Raytheon for programs involving a missile guidance system and an air defense network, and under a multi-year contract with Honeywell for main color display systems in the cockpit of a military aircraft. We
also have a long-term relationship with the United States (U.S.) Government to design and build secure communications equipment, encryption devices and recording products. The U.S. defense budget for fiscal 2009 contains provisions to increase
spending for space, smart weapons, surveillance, intelligence and secure communications, areas for which we have long provided essential services and products; however, funds were diverted in 2007 and 2008 to finance the armed forces and related
equipment and expendable supplies for the war in Iraq, and we expect this to continue throughout 2009. Our aerospace & defense electronics business accounted for approximately 27% of net revenue in 2008.

vendor reduction programs and reduce costs. Our test & measurement services business accounted for approximately 12% of net revenue in 2008.

Recent Developments

On March 3, 2006, our largest customer, Dana, and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries, filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 24, 2007, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sypris Technologies, Inc., entered
into a comprehensive settlement agreement with Dana to resolve all outstanding disputes between the parties, terminate previously approved arbitration payments and enter into a new long-term supply contract through 2014. In addition, Dana provided
us with an allowed general unsecured non-priority claim in the amount of $89.9 million, which we recorded at its estimated fair value of $76.5 million as of the August 7, 2007 settlement date.

On December 12, 2007, the bankruptcy court approved Danas plan of reorganization. Pursuant to the terms included therein, we became entitled
to receive an initial distribution of 3.1 million shares of common stock in Dana Holding Corporation, the right to participate in additional distributions of reserved shares of common stock of Dana if certain disputed matters are ultimately
resolved for less than Danas reserves for those matters (estimated by us to represent an additional 0.7 million shares) and the right to receive a distribution of cash. Dana emerged from bankruptcy on January 31, 2008, and on
February 1, 2008, the newly issued shares of Dana Holding Corporation began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. On February 11, 2008, we received our initial distribution of common stock (3.1 million shares), and on March 18,
2008, we received a cash distribution totaling $6.9 million. On April 21, 2008, July 30, 2008 and October 10, 2008, we received 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.4 million of Dana common shares, respectively. To date,
the Company has received approximately 98% of the total common shares it expects to receive.

The aforementioned cash distribution was
recorded as a reduction in our $76.5 million recorded basis in the claim. Of the remaining $69.6 million, $68.0 million was attributed to the shares we received in 2008 and $1.6 million was attributed to the 0.1 million of additional shares
expected to be received as additional distributions. If we ultimately receive fewer additional shares than expected, the recorded cost of shares held would be adjusted on a pro rata basis.

We account for our common stock in Dana as available-for-sale securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(SFAS No. 115). Due to the significant decline in the financial markets during the fourth quarter and Danas lower earnings expectations reported during
the fourth quarter, we determined that our investment in Dana common stock was other-than-temporarily impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a $66.8 million non-cash impairment in our consolidated statement of operations during the fourth quarter 2008
(representing a value of $0.74 per share, the closing price of Dana common stock on December 31, 2008). The loss represented a $65.3 million write down of the Dana common stock and a $1.5 million write down of the amount, carried in other
assets, representing additional shares we expect to receive. Future increases or decreases in the fair value of Dana common stock will be recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income unless future declines are deemed other-than-temporary.
Further other-than-temporary declines will be charged to earnings in the period that the declines are considered other-than-temporary. We have not sold any of our common stock in Dana. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.

Industry Overview

We believe the trend toward outsourcing is continuing across a wide range of industries and markets as outsourcing specialists assume a strategic role in the supply chain of companies of all types and sizes. We expect
the growth in outsourcing expenditures to continue increasing at a rate far higher than the expansion in the overall economy.

We believe
the trend toward outsourcing is continuing because outsourcing frequently represents a more efficient, lower cost means for manufacturing a product or delivering a service when compared to more vertically integrated alternatives. While the rate of
acceptance of the outsourcing model may vary by industry, we believe the following benefits of outsourcing are driving this general trend.

Reduced Total Operating Costs and Invested Capital. Outsourcing specialists are frequently able to produce products and/or deliver services at a reduced total cost relative to that of their customers because of the ability to
allocate the expense for a given set of fixed capacity, including assets, people and support systems, across multiple customers with diversified needs. In turn, these outsourcing specialists can achieve higher utilization of their resources and
achieve greater productivity, flexibility and economies of scale.

Access to Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities and Processes and
Increased Productivity. The ability to use a fixed set of production assets for a number of customers enables outsourcing specialists to invest in the latest technology as a means to further improve productivity, quality and cycle times. The
magnitude of these investments can be prohibitive absent the volume and reliability of future orders associated with having a broad array of customers for the use of those assets.

Focus on Core Competencies. Companies are under intense competitive pressure to constantly rationalize their operations, invest in and strengthen
areas in which they can add the greatest value to their customers and divest or outsource areas in which they add lesser value. By utilizing the services of outsourcing specialists, these companies can react more quickly to changing market
conditions and allocate valuable capital and other resources to core activities, such as research and development, sales and marketing or product integration.

Improved Supply Chain Management. We believe that the trend in outsourcing favors specialists that have the financial, managerial and capital resources to assume an increasingly greater role in the management
of the supply chain for the customer. By utilizing fewer and more capable suppliers, companies are able to greatly simplify the infrastructure required to manage these suppliers, thereby reducing their costs, risks and logistical complexity, while
improving margins, supply chain reliability, flexibility and long-term strategic planning.

Our Markets

Truck Components & Assemblies. The truck components & assemblies market consists of the original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs, including DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford, Freightliner, General Motors Corporation, Mack, Navistar, PACCAR and Volvo, and a deep and extensive supply chain of companies of all types and sizes that are classified into different levels or
tiers. The trailer market consists of OEMs including Dorsey, Great Dane, Hyundai, Stoughton, Trailmobile, Utility and Wabash. Tier I companies represent the primary suppliers to the OEMs and include ArvinMeritor, Dana, Delphi Automotive Systems
Corporation, Eaton Corporation, and Visteon Corporation (Visteon), among others. Many of the Tier I companies are confronted with excess capacity, high hourly wage rates, costly benefit packages and aging capital equipment. Below this group of
companies reside numerous suppliers that either supply the OEMs directly or supply the Tier I companies. In all segments of the truck components & assemblies and the trailer markets, however, suppliers are under intense competitive pressure
to improve product quality and to reduce capital expenditures, production costs and inventory levels.

During 2008, the automotive industry
experienced a severe recession highlighted by an unprecedented plunge in industry volumes by the end of the year. Deteriorating global economic conditions, unstable credit markets, rising unemployment and declining consumer confidence have all led
to weakened OEMs, many of which were experiencing financial distress prior to 2008. Along with the general economic decline, the industry continues to experience declining U.S. production volumes, reduced U.S. domestic OEM market share, intense
global competition, volatile commodity prices and significant pricing pressures.

##### Table of Contents

In an attempt to combat the deteriorating market, many OEMs are aggressively developing strategies to
reduce costs, which includes reducing the number of suppliers they utilize. These manufacturers are choosing stronger relationships with fewer suppliers that are capable of investing to support their operations. In response to this trend, many
suppliers have combined with others to gain the critical mass required to support these needs. As a result, the number of Tier I suppliers is being reduced, but in many cases, the aggregate production capacity of these companies has yet to be
addressed. We believe that as Tier I suppliers seek to eliminate excess capacity, they will increasingly choose outsourcing as a means to enhance their financial performance, and as a result, companies such as Sypris will be presented with new
business and acquisition opportunities.

Aerospace & Defense Electronics. The consolidation of defense contractors over the
past decade has added to the increased demand for outsourcing specialists. The consolidated companies, some of which have developed highly leveraged balance sheets as a result of mergers and acquisitions, have been motivated to seek new ways to
raise margins, increase profitability and enhance cash flow. Accordingly, outsourcing specialists, including Sypris, have been successful in building new relationships with companies that previously relied more on internal resources. We believe this
trend will continue, and that our extensive experience, clearances, certifications and qualifications in the manufacturing of aerospace & defense electronics will serve to differentiate us from many of the more traditional outsource
suppliers. We also believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of additional outsourcing activity that may flow from the prime contractors that are awarded contracts related to increased defense appropriations and expenditures as a result
of increased focus on national defense and homeland security.

The nature of providing outsourced manufacturing services to the
aerospace & defense electronics industry differs substantially from the traditional commercial outsourced manufacturing services industry. The cost of failure can be extremely high, the manufacturing requirements are typically complex and
products are produced in relatively small quantities. Companies that provide these manufacturing services are required to maintain and adhere to a number of strict and comprehensive certifications, security clearances and traceability standards.

Test & Measurement Services. The widespread adoption of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and
Quality Standards (QS), among others, has been underway for many years. A critical component of basic manufacturing discipline and these quality programs is the periodic calibration and certification of the test and measurement equipment that is
used to measure process performance. The investment in this equipment and the skills required to support the calibration and certification process has historically been performed offsite by the manufacturers of the equipment, or onsite by internal
operations.

We believe that test & measurement services will be increasingly outsourced to independent specialists who can use
the manpower and equipment more efficiently across a diversified base of customers, reduce investment requirements and improve profitability on a national scale.

Our Business Strategy

Our objective is to improve our leadership position in each of our core markets by increasing the
number of multi-year contracts with customers and investing in highly automated production capacity to remain competitive on a global scale. We intend to serve our customers and achieve this objective by continuing to:

Concentrate on our Core Markets. We are the principal supplier of medium and heavy-duty truck axle shafts in North America. We have been an
established supplier of manufacturing and technical services to major aerospace & defense companies and agencies of the U.S. Government for over 40 years. We are also the sole provider of calibration, certification and repair services for
equipment used by the FAA and the sole provider of similar services under a multi-year agreement with the NWS of the U.S. Department of Commerces National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We will continue to focus on those
markets where we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage.

Dedicate our Resources
to Support Strategic Partnerships. We will continue to dedicate our resources to support the needs of industry leaders that embrace multi-year contractual relationships as a strategic component of their supply chain management and have the
potential for long-term growth. We prefer contracts that are sole-source by part number so we can work closely with the customer to the mutual benefit of both parties. ArvinMeritor and Dana have awarded us with sole-source supply agreements for
certain parts that run as long as through 2013 and 2014, respectively. Historically, we entered into multi-year manufacturing services agreements with Boeing,



4

##### Table of Contents

Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon. Our success in establishing outsourcing partnerships with key customers has historically led to
additional contracts, and we believe that if we continue to successfully perform on current contracts, we will have additional growth opportunities with these and other customers.

Pursue the Strategic Acquisition of Assets. Over the long term, we will continue to target the strategic acquisition of assets that serve to
consolidate our position of leadership in our core markets, expand our presence outside North America, create or strengthen our relationships with leading companies and expand our range of value-added services in return for multi-year supply
agreements. Since these assets are integrated with our core businesses, we generally are able to use these assets to support other customers, thereby improving asset utilization and achieving greater productivity, flexibility and economies of scale.

Grow Through the Addition of New Value-Added Services. We will continue to grow through the addition of new value-added
manufacturing capabilities and the introduction of additional components in the supply chain that enable us to provide a more complete solution by improving quality and reducing product cost, inventory levels and cycle times for our customers. In
many instances, we offer a variety of state-of-the-art machining capabilities to our customers in the truck components & assemblies market that enable us to reduce labor and shipping costs and minimize cycle times for our customers over the
long-term, providing us with significant additional growth opportunities in the future. Migrating from design and manufacturing of complex circuit card assemblies to box builds will increase product content with our customers and allow us to be a
more significant player in the aerospace & defense segment.

We believe that the number and duration of our strategic
relationships enable us to invest in our business with greater certainty and with less risk than others that do not benefit from the type of longer term contractual commitments we receive from many of our major customers. The investments we make in
support of these contracts provide us with the productivity, flexibility, technological edge and economies of scale that we believe will help to differentiate us from the competition in the future when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and
customer service.

Manufacturing Services

Our manufacturing services typically involve the fabrication or assembly of a product or subassembly according to specifications provided by our customers. We purchase raw materials or components from our customers
and independent suppliers in connection with performing our manufacturing services. We strive to enhance our manufacturing capabilities by advanced quality and manufacturing techniques, lean manufacturing, just-in-time procurement and continuous
flow manufacturing, statistical process control, total quality management, stringent and real-time engineering change control routines and total cycle time reduction techniques.

Industrial Manufacturing Services. We provide our customers with a wide range of capabilities, including automated forging, extruding, machining,
induction hardening, heat-treating and testing services to meet the exacting requirements of our customers. We also design and fabricate production tooling, manufacture prototype products and provide other value-added services for our customers. Our
manufacturing services contracts for the truck components & assemblies markets are generally sole-source by part number. Part numbers may be specified for inclusion in a single model or a range of models. Where we are the sole-source
provider by part number, we are the exclusive provider to our customer of the specific parts and for any replacements for these parts that may result from a design or model change for the duration of the manufacturing contract.

Our Customers

Our customers include large, established companies and agencies of the federal government. We provide some customers with a combination of outsourced services and products, while other customers may be in a single category of our service or
product offering. Our five largest customers in 2008 were Dana, ArvinMeritor, Ford, Honeywell and Traxle, which in the aggregate accounted for 56% of net revenue in 2008. Our five largest customers in 2007 were Dana, ArvinMeritor, Ford, Honeywell
and Raytheon, which accounted for 61% of net revenue in 2007. More specifically, for the year ended December 31, 2008, Dana and ArvinMeritor represented approximately 38% and 9% of our net revenue, respectively. Similar amounts for the 2007
year ended for Dana and ArvinMeritor were 34% and 15%, respectively. In addition, U.S. governmental agencies accounted for 13% and 12% of net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Geographic Areas

Our operations are domiciled in the U.S. and Mexico. Our Mexican subsidiaries and
affiliates are primarily a part of our Industrial Group and manufacture and sell a number of products similar to those the Industrial Group produces in the U.S. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. may be subject to a
greater risk of changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and market fluctuations. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have historically impacted our earnings
only to the extent of remeasurement gains or losses related to U.S. dollar denominated accounts of our foreign subsidiary, because the vast majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2008,
other income, net includes foreign currency transaction losses of $1.9 million. Similar amounts for 2007 were not significant.

Consolidated non-U.S. net revenues were $64.8 million, or 16%, and $53.6 million, or 12%, of our consolidated net revenues in 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2008, our non-U.S. net loss was $34.4 million as compared to a consolidated net
loss of $130.6 million. In 2007, our non-U.S. net income was $1.7 million as compared to a consolidated net loss of $2.1 million. You can find more information about our regional operating results in Note 20 Segment Information in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Sales and Business Development

Our principal sources of new business originate from the expansion of existing relationships, referrals and direct sales through senior management, direct sales personnel, domestic and international sales
representatives, distributors and market specialists. We supplement these selling efforts with a variety of sales literature, advertising in numerous trade media and participation in trade shows. We also utilize engineering specialists extensively
to facilitate the sales process by working with potential customers to reduce the cost of the service they need. Our specialists achieve this objective by working with the customer to improve their products design for ease of manufacturing,
reducing the amount of set-up time or material that may be required to produce the product, or by developing software that can automate the test and/or certification process. The award of contracts or programs can be a lengthy process, which in some
circumstances can extend well beyond 12 months.

Our objective is to increase the value of the services we provide to the customer on an
annual basis beyond the contractual terms that may be contained in a supply agreement. To achieve this objective, we commit to the customer that we will continuously look for ways to reduce the cost, improve the quality, reduce the cycle time and
improve the life span of the products and/or services we supply the customer. Our ability to deliver on this commitment over time is expected to have a significant impact on customer satisfaction, loyalty and follow-on business.

Backlog

Our order backlog at December 31, 2008
was $111.9 million as compared to order backlog at December 31, 2007 of $106.9 million. Backlog for the Aerospace & Defense segment and the Test & Measurement segment at December 31, 2008 was $105.0 million and $6.9
million, respectively. Backlog for the Aerospace &



7

##### Table of Contents

Defense segment and the Test & Measurement segment at December 31, 2007 was $99.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively. Backlog consists of
purchase orders with scheduled delivery dates and quantities. Total backlog at December 31, 2008 included $82.0 million for orders that are expected to be filled within 12 months. Our backlog has varied from quarter to quarter and may vary
significantly in the future as a result of the timing of significant new orders and/or shipments, order cancellations, material availability and other factors.

Competition

The outsourced manufacturing services markets that we serve are highly competitive, and we compete against
numerous domestic companies in addition to the internal capabilities of some of our customers. In the truck components & assemblies market, we compete primarily against companies including Mid-West Forge, Inc., Spencer Forge and Machine,
Inc. and Traxle, which serve as suppliers to many Tier I and smaller companies. In the aerospace & defense electronics market, we compete primarily against companies including Celestica Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., LaBarge, Inc., Primus
Technologies Corporation, Sparton Corporation and Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. In the test & measurement services market, we compete primarily against companies including SIMCO Electronics, Transcat, Inc., Davis Inotek Instruments,
and a variety of small, local, independent laboratories. We may face new competitors in the future as the outsourcing industry evolves and existing or start-up companies develop capabilities similar to ours.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets include the availability of capacity, technological capability, flexibility, financial
strength and timeliness in responding to design and schedule changes, price, quality and delivery. Although we believe that we generally compete favorably with respect to each of these factors, some of our competitors are larger and have greater
financial and operating resources than we do. Some of our competitors have greater geographic breadth and range of services than we do. We also face competition from manufacturing operations of our current and potential customers that continually
evaluate the relative benefits of internal manufacturing compared to outsourcing. We believe our competitive position to be good, and the barriers to entry to be high in a significant portion of the markets we serve.

Suppliers

For the majority of our business, we
purchase raw materials and component parts from our customers or from suppliers chosen by our customers, at prices negotiated by our customers. When these suppliers increase their prices, cause delays in production schedules or fail to meet our
customers quality standards, our customers have contractually agreed to reimburse us for the costs associated with such price increases and not to charge us for costs caused by such delays or quality issues. Accordingly, our risks are
primarily limited to accurate inspections of such materials, timely communications, and the collection of such reimbursements or charges, along with any additional costs incurred by us due to delays in, interruptions of, or non-optimal scheduling
of, production schedules. For a smaller portion of our business, we arrange our own suppliers and assume the additional risks of price increases, quality concerns and production delays.

Raw steel and fabricated steel parts are a major component of our cost of sales and net revenue for the truck components & assemblies business.
We purchase the majority of our steel for use in this business at the direction of our customers, with any periodic changes in the price of steel being reflected in the prices we are paid for our services. Increases in the costs of steel or other
supplies can increase our working capital requirements, scrap expenses and borrowing costs.

There can be no assurance that supply
interruptions or price increases will not slow production, delay shipments to our customers or increase costs in the future, any of which could adversely affect our financial results. Delays, interruptions, or non-optimal scheduling of production
related to interruptions in raw materials supplies can be expected to increase our costs.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are mainly related to our product lines that serve the aerospace & defense electronics market. Process
improvement expenditures related to our outsourced services are not reflected in research and development expense. Accordingly, our research and development expense represents a relatively small percentage of our net revenue. We invested $4.2
million and $2.8 million in research and development in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

maintain U.S. Government security clearances at several of our locations. These clearances could be suspended or revoked if we were found not to be in compliance with applicable security regulations. Any such revocation or suspension would delay our
delivery of products to customers. Although we have adopted policies directed at ensuring our compliance with applicable regulations, and there have been no suspensions or revocations at any of our facilities, there can be no assurance that the
approved status of our facilities will continue without interruption.

We are also subject to comprehensive and changing federal, state and
local environmental requirements, both in the U.S. and in Mexico, including those governing discharges to air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of
hazardous substances. We use hazardous substances in our operations and, as is the case with manufacturers in general, if a release of hazardous substances occurs on or from our properties, we may be held liable and may be required to pay the cost
of remedying the condition. The amount of any resulting liability could be material.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we had a total of approximately 1,870 employees, 1,497 engaged in manufacturing and providing our technical services, 44
engaged in sales and marketing, 96 engaged in engineering and 233 engaged in administration. Approximately 673 of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with various unions that expire on various dates through 2012. Excluding
certain Mexico employees covered under an annually ratified agreement, collective bargaining agreements covering 165 employees expire within the next 12 months. Although we believe overall that our relations with our labor unions are positive, there
can be no assurance that present and future issues with our unions will be resolved favorably, that negotiations will be successful or that we will not experience a work stoppage, which could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business and Forward-Looking
Statements

This annual report, and our other oral or written communications, may contain forward-looking statements. These
statements may include our expectations or projections about the future of our industries, business strategies, potential acquisitions or financial results and our views about developments beyond our control including domestic or global economic
conditions, trends and market forces. These statements are based on managements views and assumptions at the time originally made and we undertake no obligation to update these statements, even if, for example, they remain available on our
website after our outlook has changed. There can be no assurance that our expectations, projections or views will come to pass, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

A number of significant risk factors could materially affect our specific business operations, and cause our performance to differ materially from any
future results projected or implied by our prior statements, including those described below. Many of these risk factors are also identified in connection with the more specific descriptions contained throughout this report.

Customers

Customer contracts could be less profitable than
expected.

We generally bear the risk that our contracts could be unprofitable or less profitable than planned, despite our estimates of
revenues and future costs to complete such contracts. For contracts to which we apply the percentage of completion accounting method, revisions to our cost estimates could reduce our operating results in later periods.

A material portion of our business is conducted under multi-year contracts, which generally include fixed prices or periodic price reductions without
minimum purchase requirements. In an economic downturn, our revenues may not cover our operating costs which could adversely impact our results. Our financial results are at greater risk when we must accept contractual responsibility for raw
material or component prices, when we cannot offset price reductions and cost increases with operating efficiencies or other savings, when we must submit contract bid prices before all key design elements are finalized or when we are subjected to
other competitive pressures which erode our margins. The profitability of our contracts also can be adversely affected by unexpected start-up costs on new programs, operating inefficiencies, ineffective capital investments, inflationary pressures or
inaccurate forecasts of future unit costs.

In the past, we have signed long-term supply agreements with Dana and ArvinMeritor and acquired
their facilities in Morganton, North Carolina, Kenton, Ohio and Toluca, Mexico, among other manufacturing assets. Although most of these acquired facilities have well-established product markets, these customers or their products may not continue to
be successful, product enhancements may not be made in a timely fashion, our long-term pricing agreements could generate lower margins than anticipated and there can be no assurance that we will successfully restructure or integrate these
operations, including necessary plant shutdowns or transfers of business. In addition, our failure to identify potential liabilities with respect to certain indemnified environmental and other conditions, or our assertion of related claims, could
adversely affect our operating results, our ability to dispose of idle plant properties or our customer relationships. Our efforts to restructure, relocate and consolidate a significant number of the operations in these plants could cause certain of
these facilities to operate at underutilized levels which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If our customers seek bankruptcy protection, they could act to terminate all or a portion of their
business with us, originate new business with our competitors and terminate or assign our long-term supply agreements. Any loss of revenue from our major customers, including the non-payment or late payment of our invoices, could materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Unexpected changes in our customers demand levels have
harmed our operating results in the past and could do so in the future. Many of our customers will not commit to firm production or delivery schedules. Disagreements over pricing, quality, delivery, capacity, exclusivity, or trade credit terms could
disrupt order schedules. Orders also fluctuate due to changing global capacity and demand, new products, changes in market share, reorganizations or bankruptcies (by our customers or by their other suppliers of critical components needed to produce
the assemblies which utilize our components), material shortages, labor disputes or other factors that discourage outsourcing. These forces could increase, decrease, accelerate, delay or cancel our delivery schedules.

Inaccurate forecasting of our customers requirements can disrupt the efficient utilization of our manufacturing capacity, inventories or workforce.
If we lose anticipated revenues, we might not succeed in redeploying our substantial capital investment and other fixed costs, potentially forcing additional plant closures, impairments of long-lived and other assets, or increased losses. If we
receive unanticipated orders, these incremental volumes could be unprofitable due to the higher costs of operating above our optimal capacity.

We
depend on a few key customers in challenging industries for most of our revenues.

Our five largest customers in 2008 were Dana,
ArvinMeritor, Ford, Honeywell and Traxle, collectively accounting for 56% of net revenue. Our five largest customers in 2007 were Dana, ArvinMeritor, Ford, Honeywell and Raytheon, collectively accounting for 61% of net revenue. The truck
components & assemblies industry has experienced credit risk, highly cyclical market demand, labor unrest, rising steel costs, bankruptcy and other obstacles, while the aerospace & defense electronics industry has seen
consolidation, increased competition and uncertain funding.

We depend on the continued growth and financial stability of these customers
and our core markets, as well as general economic conditions. Adverse changes affecting these customers, markets or general conditions could harm our operating results. The truck components & assemblies market is highly cyclical, due in
part to regulatory deadlines and is expected to remain flat or lower at historically low levels in 2009.

Rising costs of steel or
component parts have increased our inventory and working capital levels and presented challenges to our customers who seek to pass those costs on to their customers. Many of our customers labor disputes, financial difficulties and
restructuring needs have created rising uncertainty and risk, which could increase our costs or impair our business model. The aerospace & defense industry is pressured by cyclicality, technological change, shortening product life cycles,
decreasing margins, unpredictable funding levels and government procurement processes. Any of these factors, particularly in our secured electronic communications or missile programs, could impair our business model.

As of March 20, 2009, we had provided approximately $6.8 million, net of payables, in combined trade credit exposure to ArvinMeritor, Dana and Ford,
each of which currently carries at least one non-investment grade credit rating on its unsecured debt, indicating a high potential risk of default. There can be no assurance that any of our customers will not default on, delay or dispute
payment of, or seek to reject our outstanding invoices in bankruptcy or otherwise.

Congressional budgetary constraints or reallocations can reduce our
government sales.

We sell manufacturing services and products to a number of U.S. government agencies, which in the aggregate
represented approximately 13% and 12% of our net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. We also serve as a contractor for large aerospace & defense companies such as Boeing, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon,
typically under federally funded programs, which represented approximately 6% and 8% of net revenue during 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our government contracts have many inherent risks that could adversely impact our financial results. These contracts depend upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Future levels of governmental spending, including
delays, declines or reallocations in the funding of certain programs could adversely affect our financial results, if we are unable to offset these changes with new business or cost reductions.

Suppliers

Interruptions in the supply of key components could disrupt production.

Some of our manufacturing services or products
require one or more components that are available from a limited number of providers or from sole-source providers. In the past, some of the materials we use, including steel, certain forgings or castings, capacitors and memory and logic devices,
have been subject to industry-wide shortages. As a result, suppliers have been forced to allocate available quantities among their customers, and we have not been able to obtain all of the materials desired. More recently, the tightening of credit
markets has threatened the financial viability of an increasing number of suppliers of key components and raw materials, and forced unanticipated shutdowns. Our inability to reliably obtain these or any other materials when and as needed could slow
production or assembly, delay shipments to our customers, impair the recovery of our fixed costs and increase the costs of recovering to customers schedules, including overtime, expedited freight, equipment maintenance, operating
inefficiencies, higher working capital and the obsolescence risks associated with larger buffer inventories. Each of these factors could reduce operating results.

Shortages or increased costs of utilities could harm our business and our customers.

We and our customers depend on a
constant supply of electricity and natural gas from utility providers for the operation of our respective businesses and facilities. In the past, we have experienced power outages which reduced our ability to deliver products and meet our
customers demand for those products. If we or our customers experience future interruptions in service from these providers, our production and/or delivery of products could be negatively affected. Additionally, due to the heavy consumption of
energy in our production process and the businesses of our customers, if the cost of energy significantly increases, our results of operations, and those of our customers, could be negatively impacted.

Execution

We must operate more efficiently, or our results
could decline further.

If we are unable to improve the cost, efficiency and yield of our operations, our costs could increase and our
financial results could decline further. A number of major obstacles could include: the loss of substantial revenues due to an extended economic downturn; inflationary pressures; changes in anticipated product mix and the associated variances in our
profit margins; efforts to increase our manufacturing capacity and launch new programs; efforts to migrate, restructure or move business operations from one location to another; the breakdown of critical machinery or equipment; the need to identify
and eliminate our root causes of scrap; our ability to achieve expected annual savings or other synergies from past and future business combinations; inventory risks due to shifts in market demand; obsolescence; price erosion of raw material or
component parts; shrinkage, or other factors affecting our inventory valuations; and an inability to successfully manage growth, contraction or competitive pressures in our primary markets.

Our management or systems could be inadequate to support our existing or future operations, especially as we downsize our operating staff to reduce
expenses in an extended economic downturn. Growth in our business could require us to invest in additional equipment to improve our efficiency. We may have limited experience or expertise in installing or operating such equipment, which could
negatively impact our ability to deliver products on time or with acceptable costs. In addition, a material portion of our manufacturing equipment requires significant maintenance to operate effectively and we may experience maintenance and repair
issues. Our efforts to restructure, relocate and consolidate a significant number of the operations, especially in our truck component manufacturing plants, could cause certain of these facilities to operate at underutilized levels, which could
materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In our electronics business, the risk of technical failures, nonconformance with customer specifications or other quality concerns could materially impair our
operating results.

##### Table of Contents

Our growth strategies could be ineffective due to the risks of further acquisitions.

Our growth strategy has included acquiring complementary businesses. We could fail to identify, finance or complete suitable acquisitions on acceptable
terms and prices. Acquisition efforts could increase a number of risks, including: diversion of managements attention; difficulties in integrating systems, operations and cultures; potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired
companies; lack of experience operating in the geographic market of the acquired business; an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements; risks of entering into markets or producing products where we have limited or no experience,
including difficulties in integrating purchased technologies and products with our technologies and products; our ability to improve productivity and implement cost reductions; our ability to secure collective bargaining agreements with employees;
and exposure to unanticipated liabilities.

Our discovery of, or failure to discover, material issues during due diligence investigations
of acquisition targets, either before closing with regard to potential risks of the acquired operations, or, after closing with regard to the timely discovery of breaches of representations or warranties, or of certain indemnified environmental
conditions, could seriously harm our business.

Competition

Increasing competition could limit or reduce our market share.

We operate in highly competitive
environments that include our customers internal capabilities. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets include the availability of manufacturing capacity, technological strength, speed and flexibility in responding to
design or schedule changes, price, quality, delivery, cost management and financial strength. Our earnings could decline if our competitors or customers can provide comparable speed and quality at a lower cost, or if we fail to adequately invest in
the range and quality of manufacturing services and products our customers require.

Some of our competitors have greater financial and
organizational resources, customer bases and brand recognition than we do. As a result, our competitors may respond more quickly to technological changes or customer needs, consume lower fixed and variable unit costs, negotiate reduced component
prices, and obtain better terms for financing growth. If we fail to compete in any of these areas, we may lose market share and our business could be seriously harmed. There can be no assurance that we will not experience increased competition or
that we will be able to maintain our profitability if our competitive environment changes.

Our technologies could become obsolete, reducing our
revenues and profitability.

The markets for our products and services are characterized by changing technology and continuing process
development. The future of our business will depend in large part upon the continuing relevance of our technological capabilities. We could fail to make required capital investments, develop or successfully market services and products that meet
changing customer needs, and anticipate or respond to technological changes in a cost-effective and timely manner. We could encounter competition from new or revised technologies that render our technologies and equipment less profitable or obsolete
in our chosen markets, and our operating results may suffer.

Access to Capital

An inability to obtain favorable financing could impair our growth.

Our operating results could be
materially adversely impacted by the costs and supply of debt, equity capital, or insurance (including the possibility that our common stock could cease to qualify for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market due to a sustained decline in price per
share, and that any reverse stock split or other restructuring of our debt or equity financing could be accompanied by the deregistration of our common stock or other going private transaction). Our future liquidity and capital
requirements are difficult to predict because they depend on numerous factors, including the pace at which we grow our business and acquire new facilities or the loss of anticipated revenues due to the effects of an extended economic downturn. One
method we have used to obtain multi-year supply agreements is to buy a customers non-core manufacturing assets and produce products for them. We may need to raise substantial additional funds in order to grow this business. We cannot be
certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Additional equity financing could result in



13

##### Table of Contents

dilution to existing holders. If additional financing is obtained in the form of debt, the terms of the debt could place restrictions on our ability to
operate or increase the financial risk of our capital structure. Our ability to borrow under our current credit facility is conditioned upon our compliance with various financial covenants. Especially in an economic downturn, or if the credit
markets continue to tighten, we could lose our access to such financing if we experience adverse changes in our operations, poor financial results, increased risk profiles of our businesses, declines in our credit ratings, any actual or alleged
breach of our debt covenants, insurance conditions or similar agreements, or any adverse regulatory developments. In an extended economic downturn, we may need to raise capital through the sale of core or non-core assets or businesses and our
inability to successfully do so could materially adversely impact our operating results or access to sufficient capital.

Any inability to
raise additional funds as needed could impair our ability to operate and grow our business. Such financing could be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. These factors may make
the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive for us.

We may be unable to comply with the covenants in our amended
Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

The financial covenants in our amended Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes require
us to achieve certain financial and other business results. In March 2009, certain covenants were amended to allow for current and future compliance. A failure to comply with these or other covenants could, if we were unable to obtain a waiver or
another amendment of the covenant terms, cause an event of default that would cause our debt under the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes to become immediately due and payable. In addition, additional waivers or amendments could
substantially increase the cost of borrowing.

Contract Terminations

Contract terminations or delays could harm our business.

We often provide manufacturing services and
products under contracts that contain detailed specifications, quality standards and other terms. If we are unable to perform in accordance with such terms, our customers might seek to terminate such contracts, or downgrade our past performance
rating, an increasingly critical factor in federal procurement competitions. Moreover, many of our contracts are subject to termination for convenience or upon default. These provisions could provide only limited recoveries of certain incurred costs
or profits on completed work, and could impose liability for our customers costs in procuring undelivered items from another source. If any of our significant contracts were to be terminated or not renewed, we would lose substantial revenues
and our operating results as well as prospects for future business opportunities could be adversely affected.

We are subject to various
audits, reviews and investigations, including private party whistleblower lawsuits, relating to our compliance with federal and state laws. Should our business be charged with wrongdoing, or determined not to be a presently
responsible contractor, we could be temporarily suspended or debarred for up to three or more years from receiving new government contracts or government-approved subcontracts.

Labor Relations

We must attract and retain qualified employees while successfully managing related costs.

Our future success in a changing business environment, including during rapid changes in the size, complexity or skills required of our
workforce, will depend to a large extent upon the efforts and abilities of our executive, managerial and technical employees. The loss of key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our future success will also require an
ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Labor disputes or changes in the cost of providing pension and other employee benefits, including changes in health care costs, investment returns on plan assets, and discount rates used to
calculate pension and related liabilities, could lead to increased costs or disruptions of operations in any of our business units.

Disputes with labor
unions could disrupt our business plans.

We currently have collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 673 employees, or
approximately 36% of total employees, of which agreements covering 165 employees expire within the next 12 months. Although we believe that our overall relations with our labor unions are positive, we could experience a work stoppage or other
disputes which could disrupt our operations or the operations of our customers and could harm our operating results.

Regulatory

Environmental, health and safety risks could expose us to potential liability.

We are subject to a variety of environmental
regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals and substances used in our operations. If we fail to comply with present or future regulations, we could be forced to alter, suspend or discontinue our
manufacturing processes, and pay substantial fines or penalties.

Groundwater and other contamination has occurred at certain of our
current and former facilities during the operation of those facilities by their former owners, and this contamination may occur at future facilities we operate or acquire. Although we typically receive environmental indemnification agreements from
previous owners of these facilities, there is no assurance that the indemnifications of former owners will be adequate to protect us from liability.

Our Marion, Ohio facility is subject to soil and groundwater contamination involving petroleum compounds, semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds, certain metals, PCBs and other contaminants, some of which exceed
the state voluntary action program standards applicable to the site. We continue to test and assess this site to determine the extent of this contamination by the prior owners of the facility. Under our purchase agreement for this facility, Dana has
agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, certain environmental conditions that existed on the site as of closing and as to which we notified Dana prior to December 31, 2002, subject to certain other conditions involving Danas
release of, or continuing right to seek indemnity from, Eaton Corporation, from which Dana acquired the property.

A leased facility we
formerly occupied in Tampa, Florida is subject to remediation activities related to groundwater contamination involving methyl chloride and other volatile organic compounds, which occurred prior to our use of the facility, and such contamination
extends beyond the boundaries of the facility. The prior operator of the facility has entered into a consent order with the State of Florida and agreed to remediate the contamination, the full scope of which has not yet been determined. In addition,
certain claims which have been made against the Company and the former owners or operators of the facility have been fully indemnified by such former owners and operators, who have assumed the defense of such claims.

We previously acquired certain business assets formerly located at a leased facility in Littleton, Colorado, where chlorinated solvents had been disposed
of on site by a prior owner of the business at the site, contaminating the groundwater at and around the site. The seller of the assets to us is operating a remediation system on the site approved by the State of Colorado and has entered into a
consent order with the EPA providing for additional investigation at the site. In addition, Sypris has been contractually indemnified by the prior owners of the facility.

Our Morganton, North Carolina facility is subject to soil and groundwater contamination involving petroleum compounds, certain metals, and other contaminants, some of which may exceed the State of North Carolina
standards applicable to the site. Under our purchase agreement for this facility, Dana had agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, environmental conditions that existed on the site as of closing and as to which we notified Dana prior to
December 31, 2005. However, such amounts due from Dana have been released in conjunction with Danas Chapter 11 filing and the Companys comprehensive settlement with Dana. The Company is aware of no current litigation, material
remediation claims or other proceedings with respect to this facility.

Our Toluca, Mexico facility is subject to soil and groundwater
contamination involving petroleum compounds and volatile organic compounds, among other concerns. We continue to test and assess this site to determine the extent of any contamination by the prior owners of the facility. Under our purchase agreement
for this facility, Dana has agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, environmental conditions that existed on the site as of closing and as to which we notified Dana prior to June 30, 2006, subject to certain other conditions involving
Danas release of, or continuing right to seek indemnity from, Eaton Corporation, from which Dana acquired the property.

Our Kenton, Ohio facility is subject to soil and groundwater contamination involving petroleum compounds,
volatile organic compounds, certain metals, PCBs and other contaminants. Under our purchase agreement for this facility, Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, environmental conditions that existed on the site
as of closing and as to which we notified ArvinMeritor prior to May 2, 2006.

Adverse regulatory developments or litigation could harm our
business.

Our businesses operate in heavily regulated environments. We must successfully manage the risk of changes in or adverse
actions under applicable law or in our regulatory authorizations, licenses and permits, governmental security clearances or other legal rights to operate our businesses, to manage our work force or to import and export goods and services as needed.
Our business activities expose us to the risks of litigation with respect to our customers, suppliers, creditors, stockholders or from product liability, environmental or asbestos-related matters. We also face the risk of other adverse regulatory
actions, compliance costs or governmental sanctions, as well as the costs and risks related to our ongoing efforts to design and implement effective internal controls.

Other Risks

We face other factors which could seriously disrupt our operations.

Many other risk factors beyond our control could seriously disrupt our operations, including: risks relating to war, future terrorist activities,
political uncertainties or natural disasters which could shut down our domestic or foreign facilities, disrupt transportation of products or supplies, increase the costs under our self insurance program, or change the timing and availability of
funding in our aerospace & defense electronics markets; risks inherent in operating abroad, including foreign currency exchange rates, adverse regulatory developments, and miscommunications or errors due to inaccurate foreign language
translations or currency exchange rates; risks relating to natural disasters or other casualties; or our failure to anticipate or to adequately insure against other risks and uncertainties present in our businesses including unknown or unidentified
risks.

|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

We are involved from time to
time in routine litigation and other legal or environmental proceedings incidental to our business. There are currently no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party. Ongoing environmental matters include the following:



| |  |  | Our Marion, Ohio facility is subject to soil and groundwater contamination involving petroleum compounds, semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds, certain
metals, PCBs and other contaminants, some of which exceed the State of Ohio voluntary action program standards applicable to the site. Under our purchase agreement for this facility, Dana has agreed to indemnify us for, among other things,
environmental conditions that existed on the site as of closing and as to which we notified Dana prior to December 31, 2002, to the extent of any indemnification owed to Dana by Eaton Corporation (Eaton) or any other matters for which Dana has
released Eaton.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A leased facility we formerly occupied in Tampa, Florida is currently subject to remediation activities related to groundwater contamination involving methylene
chloride and other volatile organic compounds which occurred prior to our use of the facility. The contamination extends beyond the boundaries of the facility. In December 1986, Honeywell, a prior operator of the facility, entered into a consent
order with the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation under which Honeywell agreed to remediate the contamination, the full scope of which has not yet been determined. We purchased the assets of a business formerly located on this leased
site and operated that business from 1993 until December 1994. Philips Electronics America Corporation (Philips Electronics), the seller of those assets, has agreed to indemnify us with respect to environmental matters arising from groundwater
contamination at the site prior to our use of the facility. On November 3, 2004, Sypris Electronics was served as a co-defendant with Honeywell and Phillips Electronics in an environmental lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth
Judicial Circuit Hillsborough County, Florida by Helen Jones and other surrounding landowners, alleging various damages caused by such contamination. Philips Electronics has agreed to pay for our defense costs.

| |  |  | In December 1992, we acquired certain business assets formerly located at a leased facility in Littleton, Colorado. Certain chlorinated solvents disposed of on the
site by Honeywell, a previous owner of the business, have contaminated the groundwater at and around the site. Alliant Techsystems, from which we acquired the business assets, operates a remediation system approved by the State of Colorado and has

|Item 6. | Selected Financial Data
|------- | -----------------------

We are a smaller reporting
company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus are not required to report the selected financial data in Item 301 of Regulation S-K.



|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition should be read together with the other financial information
and consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. We perform a wide range of
manufacturing, engineering, design, testing and other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts with major companies and government agencies in the markets for aerospace & defense electronics, truck
components & assemblies, and test & measurement services. Revenue from our three core markets accounted for approximately 95% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, while revenue from our outsourced services
accounted for approximately 80% of our revenue.

We are organized into two business groups, the Industrial Group and the Electronics Group.
The Industrial Group is one reportable business segment, while the Electronics Group includes two reportable business segments, Aerospace & Defense and Test & Measurement. The Industrial Group is comprised of Sypris Technologies,
Inc. and its subsidiaries, which generates revenue primarily from the sale of manufacturing services to customers in the market for truck components & assemblies and from the sale of products to the energy and chemical markets. The
Aerospace & Defense reportable segment is comprised of Sypris Data Systems, Inc. and Sypris Electronics, LLC. Revenue for this group is derived primarily from the sale of manufacturing services, technical services and products to customers
in the market for aerospace & defense electronics. The Test & Measurement reportable segment consists solely of Sypris Test & Measurement, Inc., which generates revenue primarily from providing technical services for the
calibration, certification and repair of test and measurement equipment in the U.S.

Our objective is to become the leading outsourcing
specialist in each of our core markets for aerospace & defense electronics, truck components & assemblies, and test & measurement services. We have focused our efforts on establishing long-term relationships with industry
leaders who embrace multi-year contractual relationships as a strategic component of their supply chain management.

Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Changes in facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting estimated amounts included in our consolidated financial
statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more complex judgments and estimates. We also have other policies that we consider to be key accounting policies, such as our policies for revenue recognition in the
Industrial Group, including cost of sales; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We establish reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable based on overall receivable aging levels, a specific
evaluation of accounts for customers with known financial difficulties and evaluation of customer chargebacks, if any. These reserves and corresponding write-offs could significantly increase if our customers experience deteriorating financial
results or in the event we receive a significant chargeback, which is deemed uncollectible.

Investments in Marketable Securities. Our investment in marketable securities is comprised
exclusively of shares in Dana common stock. We account for our investments in equity securities under SFAS No. 115. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and measured at fair value as determined by a quoted
market price. Under FAS 115, unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported net of the related tax effect in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders equity. Management evaluates its
marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment when the fair value of an investment declines below its original cost. Factors that are considered in the evaluation for other-than-temporary impairment include, among other things, the
duration and extent of the decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, credit risk and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. If
a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings. The new cost basis is not to be changed for
subsequent recoveries in fair value. Future increases or decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are included in other comprehensive income. Further other-than-temporary impairment declines will be charged to earnings in the
period that the declines are considered other-than-temporary. The determination of whether a loss is other-than-temporary is highly judgmental and may have a material impact on our results of operations.

Impairments. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment by calculating the estimated fair value of each business with which goodwill is
associated. The estimated fair value is based on a discounted cash flow analysis that requires judgment in our evaluation of the business and establishing an appropriate discount rate and terminal value to apply in the calculations. In selecting
these and other assumptions for each business, we consider historical performance, forecasted operating results, general market conditions and industry considerations specific to the business. It is possible that the assumptions underlying the
impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment charges may occur. We likely would compute a materially different fair value for a business if different assumptions were used or if circumstances were to change.

At December 31, 2008, net assets of our Test & Measurement segment were $13.7 million, including goodwill of $6.9 million, and our
Aerospace & Defense segment had net assets of $16.6 million, including goodwill of $6.9 million. If continued improvements in operations are not achieved and profitability deteriorates, we may be required to record an impairment charge to
goodwill for the Test & Measurement and/or the Aerospace & Defense segments.

Long-term Contracts. A large part of
our Aerospace & Defense segment business is derived from long-term contracts for development, production and service activities, which we account for consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) audit
and accounting guide, Audits of Federal Government Contractors, the AICPAs Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, and other relevant revenue recognition
accounting literature, as applicable. We consider the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when we determine the proper accounting for a particular contract.

Primarily, we record long-term, fixed-price contracts on a percentage of completion basis using units-of-delivery to measure progress toward completing
the contract and recognizing net revenue. Revenue is recognized on these contracts when units are shipped or delivered to the customer, as applicable, with unit revenue based upon unit prices as set forth in the applicable contracts. The costs
attributed to contract revenue are based upon the estimated average costs of all units to be shipped. Revenue recognized under such milestones is limited to net revenue that we would recognize under the cost-to-cost method. Under the cost-to-cost
method of accounting, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to our estimate of total costs at completion. As we incur costs under cost-reimbursement-type contracts, we record net revenue. Cost-reimbursement-type contracts
include time and materials and other level-of-effort-type contracts.

As a general rule, we recognize net revenue and profits earlier in a
production cycle when we use the cost-to-cost and milestone methods of percentage of completion accounting than when we use the units-of-delivery method. In addition, our profits and margins may vary materially depending on the types of long-term
government contracts undertaken, the costs incurred in their performance, the achievement of other performance objectives, and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees is finally determined.

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue and costs,
and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Contract costs include material,
labor and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. For
contract change orders, claims or similar items, we apply judgment in estimating the amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is
considered probable.

The majority of our Aerospace & Defense segment net revenue is driven by pricing based on costs incurred to
produce products or perform services under contracts with the U.S. Government, and therefore not necessarily on market-based factors. Cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). The FAR provides guidance on the
types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. Government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to charitable contributions, advertising, public relations and interest expense are
unallowable, and therefore, not recoverable through net revenue.

Approximately 23% and 19% of total net revenue was recognized under the
percentage of completion method based on units of delivery during 2008 and 2007, respectively. Approximately 2% of total net revenue was recognized under the percentage of completion method based on milestones or cost-to-cost during 2008 and 2007.
Therefore, the amounts we record in our consolidated financial statements using contract accounting methods and cost accounting standards are material. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes, it is likely that
materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or costs are required, any changes from prior estimates are generally
included in earnings in the current period. We closely monitor compliance with and the consistent application of our critical accounting policies related to contract accounting. In addition to less formal monthly reviews, management in the
Aerospace & Defense segment formally assesses the status of contracts on a quarterly basis through extensive estimate at completion reviews, which include multiple levels of program personnel. Costs incurred and allocated to contracts with
the U.S. Government are reviewed for compliance with regulatory standards by our personnel and are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency.

Pension Plan Funded Status. The calculation of pension assets and liabilities involve complex estimation processes based on third party actuarially determined estimates, which rely on management estimates of
the discount rate and rate of return on plan assets. Changes in these rates could significantly impact the actuarially determined amounts recorded in the statements of financial position.

Reserve for Excess, Obsolete and Scrap Inventory. We record inventory at the lower of cost, determined under the first-in, first-out method, or
market, and we reserve for excess, obsolete or scrap inventory. These reserves are primarily based upon managements assessment of the salability of the inventory, historical usage of raw materials, historical demand for finished goods and
estimated future usage and demand. An improper assessment of salability or improper estimate of future usage or demand, or significant changes in usage or demand could result in significant changes in the reserves and a positive or a negative impact
on our consolidated results of operations in the period the change occurs.

Stock-based Compensation.We account for stock-based
compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method, which requires the input of several subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will
retain their vested stock options before exercising them (expected term), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (forfeitures).
Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes.We account for income taxes as required by the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes(SFAS
No. 109), under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates.

##### Table of Contents

As referenced in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, we adopted FASB Interpretation 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), as of January 1, 2007. Management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and the related balance sheet amounts. In
addition, under FIN 48, judgments are required concerning the ultimate outcome of uncertain income tax positions. Actual income taxes paid may vary from estimates, depending upon changes in income tax laws, actual results of operations, and the
final audit of tax returns by taxing authorities. Tax assessments may arise several years after tax returns have been filed. We believe that our recorded income tax liabilities adequately provide for the probable outcome of these assessments.

Deferred tax assets are also recorded for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. However, SFAS No. 109 requires that a
valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is largely dependent upon projected near-term profitability including the effects of tax
planning. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses.

Results of Operations

The table presented below, which compares our consolidated results of
operations from one year to another, presents the results for each year, the change in those results from one year to another in both dollars and percentage change and the results for each year as a percentage of net revenue. The first two data
columns in the table show the absolute results for each year presented. The columns entitled Year Over Year Change and Year Over Year Percentage Change show the change in results, both in dollars and percentages. These two
columns show favorable changes as positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when our net revenue increases from one year to the next, that change is shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when expenses increase from
one year to the next, that change is shown as a negative number in both columns. The last two columns in the table show the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue. In these two columns, the cost of sales and gross profit for each are
given as a percentage of that segments net revenue. These amounts are shown in italics. In addition, as used in this table, NM means not meaningful.

Backlog. Our backlog increased $4.9 million to $111.9 million at December 31, 2008, on
$172.1 million in net orders in 2008 compared to $164.2 million in 2007. We expect to convert approximately 73% of the backlog at December 31, 2008 to revenue during 2009.

Backlog for our Aerospace & Defense segment increased $5.8 million to $105.0 million at December 31, 2008, on $117.8 million in net orders
in 2008 compared to $109.6 million in 2007. Backlog for our Test & Measurement segment decreased $0.9 million to $6.9 million at December 31, 2008 on $54.3 million in net orders in 2008 compared to $54.6 million in 2007. We expect to
convert approximately 72% of the Aerospace & Defense backlog and approximately 100% of the Test & Measurement backlog at December 31, 2008 to revenue during 2009.

Net Revenue. The Industrial Group derives its revenue from manufacturing services and product sales. Net revenue in the Industrial Group decreased
$34.9 million to $244.2 million in 2008. Depressed market conditions for heavy and light trucks and commercial vehicles have contributed to volume related reductions in net

revenue of approximately $18.9 million. Volume declines for trailer axles caused a $23.7 reduction from 2007. Revenue also declined approximately $4.2
million from the discontinued sale of housings components to a heavy truck market customer. Further, contractual settlements and price reductions resulted in a $2.5 million decrease in net revenue from 2007. Partially offsetting the volume change
was an increase in steel prices, which is passed through to customers under certain contracts, resulting in an increase in net revenue of $18.6 million.

The Aerospace & Defense segment derives its revenue from product sales and technical outsourced services. Aerospace & Defense segment net revenue increased $7.4 million to $111.9 million primarily
due to increased sales of link encryption products. Offsetting this was a reduction in sales of certain data recording products of $5.2 million during the year. Technical outsourced services comprised $5.9 million of the increase primarily as a
result of the launch of several new programs.

The Test & Measurement segment derives its revenue from technical services,
including calibration and component screening, and product sales. Technical services revenue accounted for approximately 86% and 88% of total Test & Measurement revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Test & Measurement segment net
revenue increased $2.9 million primarily as a result of a $1.8 million increase in volumes of magnetic meters and a $0.5 increase in calibration services. Component screening and product test revenue also increased $0.6 million.

Gross Profit. The Industrial Groups gross profit decreased $6.8 million to $10.8 million in 2008. The significant decrease in sales volume
and related loss of fixed overhead absorption, combined with higher utilities of $1.3 million, resulted in a reduction in gross profit of approximately $12.5 million. The Industrial Group also realized a decline in gross profit of $2.5 million in
2008 as a result of lower revenue from contractual settlements and pricing as compared to the prior year. The decreases in gross profit were partially offset by approximately $7.9 million in various productivity improvements made during the year and
favorable settlements with customers during the period.

The Aerospace & Defense segments gross profit decreased $1.7
million to $7.4 million in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for 2008 decreased to 6.6% from 8.6% in 2007. The increase in revenue for the segment in 2008 was comprised of a higher mix of lower-margin services and product sales as
compared to the prior year. Additionally, material cost increases on several programs reduced gross profit by $2.4 million.

The
Test & Measurement segments gross profit increased $0.8 million in 2008 primarily due to increased revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 25.3% in 2008 was relatively consistent with 2007 at 25.2%.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.9 million in 2008 and increased as a percentage of
net revenue to 10.1% in 2008 from 9.3% in 2007 primarily due to compensation-related expenses, recruiting costs and higher employee benefit costs.

Research and Development. Research and development costs increased $1.4 million in 2008 primarily due to new product development efforts for a next generation secured communications device within our
Aerospace & Defense segment.

Impairment of Goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we completed our annual review of
goodwill. As a result of this review, the Industrial Groups goodwill was deemed to be impaired, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $0.4 million, representing the segments entire goodwill balance. See Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Nonrecurring Expense (Income), Net. In December 2008, we announced a restructuring
program, which included the closure of the Industrial Groups Kenton, Ohio facility, the consolidation of Sypris Electronics and Sypris Data Systems into a single operation within the Aerospace & Defense segment and the potential
closure of other U.S. Based Industrial Group locations. Additionally, we have exited several programs within the Aerospace & Defense segment. The purpose of the restructuring program was to reduce fixed costs, accelerate integration
efficiencies, and significantly improve operating earnings on a sustained basis. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded, or expect to record in future periods, aggregate pre-tax expenses of approximately $52.4 million, consisting of the
following: $4.1 million in severance and benefit costs, $12.2 million in non-cash asset impairments, $16.1 million in non-cash deferred contract costs write-offs, $7.9 million in inventory related charges, $4.2 million in equipment relocation costs,
$1.5 million in asset retirement obligations, $3.2 million in contract

termination costs and $3.2 million in other restructuring charges. Of the aggregate $52.4 million in pre-tax costs, the Company expects approximately $16.0
million to be cash-related. Of the total program, we recorded $45.1 million, or $2.45 per share, related to these initiatives in 2008, which is included in nonrecurring expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The charge consisted of
$16.1 million for the write-off of deferred contract costs, $12.2 million in non-cash asset impairment charges, $7.9 million for inventory related charges, $3.2 million in contract termination costs, $2.7 million of employee severance and benefit
costs, $1.5 million in asset retirement obligations, $0.2 million in equipment relocation costs and $1.3 million in other various charges. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Nonrecurring items in 2007 include the gain recognized as part of the Dana settlement agreement offset by the write-off of certain accounts receivable
and other assets, legal and professional fees incurred as a result of the Dana bankruptcy filing and other transaction related costs.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $0.6 million in 2008. Our weighted average debt outstanding increased to $61.0 million during 2008 from $53.1 million during 2007, primarily as a result of operating losses related to
the decline in the Industrial Groups revenue. The weighted average interest rate decreased to 6.3% in 2008 from 6.7% in 2007 primarily as a result of a drop in interest rates on the variable rate debt.

Impairment of Marketable Securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, we review our marketable securities to determine whether a decline in
fair value of the security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary. At December 31, 2008, our investment in Dana common stock was determined to be an other-than-temporary decline resulting in a $66.8 million non-cash impairment charge to
results of operation. See Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Other Expense, Net.Other expense, net increased $1.8 million from 2007 primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses of $1.9 million in 2008 as compared to $0.1 million in 2007.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax benefit rate was 1.1% in 2008 as compared to 52.9% for 2007. As a result of continued losses within the Companys U.S. operations and capital losses within our
foreign operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $46.7 million during 2008. Additionally, the tax benefit of $1.5 million recognized in 2008 includes $1.0 from the assessment of tax positions of prior
years, including interest and penalties, impacted by net operating losses incurred during 2008.

Quarterly Results

The following table presents our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations data for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008. Beginning January 1, 2007, we
began to report quarterly results on a 4-4-5 fiscal quarter basis. We have prepared this data on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of this information. You should read these unaudited quarterly results in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report. The consolidated results of operations for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

There are several risks and uncertainties relating to the global economy and the automotive industry that could materially affect our financial condition,
future results of operations and liquidity. These risk and uncertainties could result in decreased sales, limited access to credit, rising costs, increased competition, customer or supplier bankruptcies, delays in customer payment terms and
acceleration of supplier payments, growing inventories and failure to meet debt covenants.

As a result of a continued decline in the
overall economy, we have taken significant actions during the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 to reduce our cost base and improve profitability, including moving forward with various plant shutdowns and other workforce reductions.
Based on our current forecast for 2009, we expect to be able to meet the financial covenants of our amended debt agreements and have sufficient liquidity to finance our operations. Although we believe the assumptions underlying our current forecast
are achievable, we have considered the possibility of even lower revenues and other risk factors, such as our ability to execute the current cost reduction plans.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate this cash will depend largely on future operations. As disclosed elsewhere, our 2008 operating results were
significantly lower than our expectations, in part due to precipitous declines within the commercial vehicle and/or heavy truck industry. As a result of the deterioration in 2008 results, as well as other factors, we recorded goodwill and long-lived
asset impairment charges and also applied a full valuation allowance to our domestic deferred tax assets. Based upon our current level of operations and our 2009 business plan, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and available
borrowings under our amended credit agreements will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

A
continued decline in the overall market could require us to seek additional funds from external sources or to refinance all or a portion of our existing indebtedness in order to meet our liquidity requirements. We cannot make assurances that we will
be able to refinance any of our indebtedness or raise additional capital through other means on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we have insufficient cash flow to fund our liquidity needs and are unable to refinance our indebtedness or
raise additional capital, we could come into default under our debt instruments. In addition, we may be unable to pursue growth opportunities in new and existing markets and to fund our capital expenditure needs.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in default with certain covenants under both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. However, the
Companys Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes were amended as of March, 2009 to, among other things, i) waive the default as of December 31, 2008, ii) limit total borrowings, iii) revise the maturity date for the Credit Agreement
and Senior Notes to January 2010, iv) revise certain financial covenants, v) restrict the payment of dividends, vi) require mandatory prepayment to the extent that marketable securities or other collateral is sold, and vii) increase the
Companys interest rate structure.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.7 million in 2008, as compared to net cash used
of $10.5 million in 2007, due to the timing of collections and a focus on bringing inventory levels down to meet current demand. In 2008, accounts receivable decreased and provided $14.8 million, as a result of reduced volumes combined with a
continued emphasis on collections with significant customers. Inventory decreased in 2008 and provided $13.4 million primarily as a result lower inventory levels to adjust for lower sales volumes. Other current assets decreased in 2008 and provided
$4.0 million primarily due to a $6.9 million cash receipt associated with the Dana settlement partially offset by income taxes refundable of $2.7 million for our Mexican subsidiary. Accounts payable decreased and used $8.6 million primarily due to
the decrease in cost of sales, the reduction in inventory and timing of capital expenditures. Accrued liabilities decreased and used $9.1 million primarily due to a $9.5 million payment in 2008 for income taxes in Mexico applicable to 2007. Other
non-cash items in 2008 include amortization of deferred revenue attributable to the Dana settlement.

Net cash used in investing activities
was $11.3 million in 2008 as compared to $9.4 million in 2007. Capital expenditures increased to $13.1 million in 2008 from $10.2 million in 2007, primarily as a result of additional capital expenditures at our Mexican subsidiary to support new
products. Partially offsetting this was an increase in the proceeds from the sale of assets to $1.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.7 million in 2008 as compared to $2.1 million in 2007,
primarily due to additional borrowing of $3.0 million in 2008. Additionally, we paid $0.9 million in financing fees in conjunction with modifications of our debt in 2007.

We had total borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $43.0 million at December 31, 2008, and an unrestricted cash balance of $13.7 million. Approximately $0.4 million of the unrestricted cash balance
relates to our Mexican subsidiaries. Maximum borrowings on the Revolving Credit Agreement are $50.0 million. Standby letters of credit up to a maximum of $15.0 million may be issued under the Credit Agreement of which $2.0 million were issued at
December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157). The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and
comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and
liabilities did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment to ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial
statements, but separate from the equity of the parent company. The statement further requires that consolidated net income be reported at amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, rather than expensing the income
attributable to the minority interest holder. This statement also requires that companies provide sufficient disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners,
including a disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements for income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holder. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.
The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments and
nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of Statement 133, and related hedged items accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys disclosures included in its
consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets, (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. This statement is not expected to change existing practices but rather reduce the complexity of financial reporting. This statement will go into effect 60 days after the SEC approves related
auditing rules.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions may be participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation
in computing basic earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. A share-based payment award that contains a non-forfeitable right to receive cash when
dividends are paid to common shareholders irrespective of whether that award ultimately vests or remains unvested shall be considered a participating security as these rights to dividends provide a non-contingent transfer of value to the holder of
the share-based payment award. Accordingly, these awards should be included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The guidance in this FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim
periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. All prior period EPS data will be adjusted retrospectively to reflect the provisions of the FSP. Under the terms of the Companys restricted stock awards, grantees are entitled to
receive dividends on the unvested portions of their awards. There is no requirement to return these dividends in the event the unvested awards are forfeited in the future. Accordingly, this FSP will have an effect on the Companys EPS
calculations and the Company will continue to evaluate the effects of this guidance.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Sypris Solutions, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to Sypris management and its Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published consolidated financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the accuracy of consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the
effectiveness of Sypris Solutions, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making our assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
in Internal Control  Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we concluded that as of December 31, 2008, Sypris internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

Ernst & Young LLP, our independent auditors and a registered public accounting firm, has audited and reported on the consolidated financial
statements of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. The reports of Ernst & Young LLP are contained in this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Sypris Solutions, Inc.

We have audited Sypris Solutions, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Sypris Solutions, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Sypris Solutions, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Sypris Solutions, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years then
ended, and our report dated March 31, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Sypris Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sypris Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and
2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sypris Solutions, Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Sypris Solutions, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 31, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|(1) | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
|--- | ------------------------------------------------

Consolidation Policy

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Sypris or the Company) and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Companys operations
are domiciled in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico and serve a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Business

Sypris is a
diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. The Company performs a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design, testing, and other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts with corporations
and government agencies in the markets for truck components & assemblies, aerospace & defense electronics, and test & measurement services. The Company provides such services through its Industrial and Electronics Groups
(Note 20).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Specifically, due to the size and nature of the Companys aerospace & defense related programs, the estimation of total contract related revenues and cost at completion is subject to a wide
range of variables. As contracts may require performance over several accounting periods, formal detailed cost-to-complete estimates are performed and updated monthly. Managements estimates of costs-to-complete change due to internal and
external factors, such as labor rate and efficiency variances, revised estimates of warranty costs, estimated future material prices and customer specification and testing requirement changes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, while restricted cash consists of amounts funded to the Company by a Landlord under a lease agreement
signed in 2006. Under the terms of the lease, the funds are required to be expended on leasehold improvements prior to June 2010.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs for raw materials, work in
process and finished goods, excluding contract inventory included in the Electronics Group, is determined under the first-in, first-out method. Indirect inventories, which include perishable tooling, repair parts and other materials consumed in the
manufacturing process but not incorporated into finished products are classified as raw materials.

Costs on long-term contracts and
programs in progress represent recoverable costs incurred for production or contract-specific materials and equipment, allocable operating overhead, advances to suppliers and where appropriate, pre-contract engineering and design expenses. Pursuant
to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and certain other customers have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such contracts as a result of advances, performance based payments and progress payments. Such
advances and payments are reflected as an offset against the related inventory balances. General administrative expenses related to commercial products and services provided essentially under commercial terms and conditions are expensed as incurred.

The Companys reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted demand for its product sales, and any
change to the reserve arising from forecast revisions is reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

Investment in Marketable Securities

Securities are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Increases and decreases in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in
other comprehensive income. Management evaluates its marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment when the fair value of the investment is lower than its book value. Factors that are considered when evaluating for other-than-temporary
impairment included the length of time and the extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, credit risk, and the Companys intent and ability to hold the investment for a
period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is generally computed using the straight-line method over
their estimated economic lives. For land improvements, buildings and building improvements, the estimated economic life is generally 40 years. Estimated economic lives range from three to fifteen years for machinery, equipment, furniture and
fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic life or the respective lease term using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of minor items are expensed as incurred. Major
rebuilds and improvements are capitalized.

Interest cost is capitalized for qualifying assets during the period in which the asset is
being installed and prepared for its intended use. Capitalized interest cost is amortized on the same basis as the related depreciation.

Long-lived Assets

When indicators of impairment exist, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment and assesses
their recoverability based upon anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or groups of assets, as applicable, is impaired, the long-lived asset or groups of long-lived assets
are written down to their estimated fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment by calculating the estimated fair value of each business with which goodwill is associated. The
estimated fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow basis, which is compared to the carrying value of each applicable business. The Company tested goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. An impairment charge of
$440,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the Industrial Group (Note 3). No impairment loss was recorded in 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the carrying value of goodwill for the Aerospace & Defense and the
Test & Measurement segments was $6,900,000 and $6,937,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, the carrying value of goodwill for the Industrial Group, Aerospace & Defense and the Test & Measurement segments was
$440,000, $6,900,000 and $6,937,000, respectively. Goodwill is further discussed in Note 3.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue for the Electronics Group is recorded when payments are received in advance of achieving project milestones and is amortized into revenue
based on the ratio of costs incurred to the Companys estimate of total costs at completion. Deferred revenue for the Industrial Group is generally associated with the Dana Holding Corporation (Dana) settlement (Note 2) and will be amortized
into income on a units-of-production basis over the term of the related supply agreement.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between
the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, using the statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to
reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. In 2008, the Company recognized a $50,395,000 valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Of this total, $46,745,000 was
recognized through income tax expense (i.e., offsetting tax benefit related to current year losses) and $3,650,000 was recognized through other comprehensive income (Note 18). No valuation allowance was recorded in 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCONTINUED



In the ordinary course of business there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying the Companys
income tax positions. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon managements evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting dates.
For those tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing
authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. Where
applicable, associated interest has also been recognized.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in
income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Net Revenue and Cost of Sales

Net revenue of products and services provided essentially under commercial terms and conditions are recorded upon delivery and passage
of title, or when services are rendered. Related shipping and handling costs, if any, are included in costs of sales. Net revenue under service-type contracts is recorded as costs are incurred. Applicable estimated profits are included in earnings
in the proportion that incurred costs bear to total estimated costs.

Net revenue under long-term, fixed-price contracts with
aerospace & defense companies and agencies of the U.S. Government is recognized using the percentage of completion method, primarily using units-of-delivery as the basis to measure progress toward completing the contract and recognizing
revenue. Estimated contract profits are taken into earnings in proportion to recorded sales. Sales under certain long-term fixed-price contracts that specifically provide for milestones are recorded as revenue upon achievement of performance
milestones, limited to revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where sales and profits are recorded based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Amounts representing contract change orders or
claims are included in revenue when such costs are reliably estimated and realization is probable. When adjustments in contract value or estimated costs are determined, any changes from prior estimates are reflected in earnings in the current
period. Anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when determined to be probable. Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included charges of $9,219,000 and $3,674,000, respectively, for contracts in a loss
position at year end.

Revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting totaled approximately $102,408,000 and
$89,777,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2008 and 2007, approximately 93% and 90%, respectively, of such amount was accounted for based on units of delivery and approximately 7% and 10%, respectively, was
accounted for based on milestones or cost-to-cost.

Product Warranty Costs

The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Companys
warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $466,000 and $523,000, respectively. The Companys warranty expense for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $680,000 and $736,000, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable. The Companys customer
base consists of a number of customers in diverse industries across geographic areas, primarily in North America and Mexico, various departments or agencies of the U.S. Government, and aerospace & defense companies under contract with the
U.S. Government. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and does not require collateral on its commercial accounts

receivable. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and consistently have been within managements expectations.
Approximately 48% and 52% of accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively are due from the Companys four largest customers. More specifically, Dana and ArvinMeritor, Inc. (ArvinMeritor) comprise 29% and 11%,
respectively, of December 31, 2008 outstanding accounts receivables. Similar amounts at December 31, 2007 were 21% and 16%, respectively.

The Industrial Groups largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2008 were Dana and ArvinMeritor, which represented approximately 37% and 9%, respectively, of the Companys total net revenue. Dana and ArvinMeritor
were the Companys largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2007, which represented approximately 34% and 15%, respectively, of the Companys total net revenue. The Company recognized revenue from contracts with the U.S.
Government and its agencies approximating 13% and 12% of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total net revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Risks and Uncertainties

There are several risks and uncertainties relating to the global economy, weekend capital markets and the automotive industry that could materially affect
the Companys future financial performance and liquidity. These risk and uncertainties could result in decreased sales, limited access to credit, rising costs, increased competition, customer or supplier bankruptcies, delays in customer payment
terms and acceleration of supplier payments, growing inventories and failure to meet debt covenants.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for the Companys Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican peso. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period
end exchange rate, and income and expense items are translated at the period end weighted average exchange rate. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders equity.
Remeasurement gains or losses for U.S. dollar denominated accounts of the Companys Mexican subsidiary are included in other expense, net.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

Approximately 673, or 36% of the Companys employees, all of which are in the
Industrial Group, are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Excluding certain Mexico employees covered under an annually ratified agreement, collective bargaining agreements covering 165 employees, or 9% of the Companys workforce,
expire within the next 12 months. Certain Mexico employees are covered by an annually ratified collective bargaining agreement and represent approximately 307 employees, or 16% of the Companys workforce.

Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157). The objective of SFAS No. 157
is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS
No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial
assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment to ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires all entities to report



44

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCONTINUED



noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the equity of the parent company. The
statement further requires that consolidated net income be reported at amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, rather than expensing the income attributable to the minority interest holder. This statement also requires
that companies provide sufficient disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners, including a disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements for
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holder. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging
instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of Statement 133, and related hedged items accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 161
requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133
and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
November 15, 2008. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys disclosures included in its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). FSP 142-3 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This
statement is not expected to change existing practices but rather reduce the complexity of financial reporting. This statement will go into effect 60 days after the SEC approves related auditing rules.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities. This FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions may be participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing basic
earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. A share-based payment award that contains a non-forfeitable right to receive cash when dividends are paid to
common shareholders irrespective of whether that award ultimately vests or remains unvested shall be considered a participating security as these rights to dividends provide a non-contingent transfer of value to the holder of the share-based payment
award. Accordingly, these awards should be included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The guidance in this FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those
years. Early adoption is not permitted. All prior period EPS data will be adjusted retrospectively to reflect the provisions of the FSP. Under the terms of the Companys restricted stock awards, grantees are entitled to receive dividends on the
unvested portions of their awards. There is no requirement to return these dividends in the event the unvested awards are forfeited in the future. Accordingly, this FSP will have an effect on the Companys EPS calculations and the Company will
continue to evaluate the effects of this guidance.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Companys 2007 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

|(2) | Dana Settlement Agreement
|--- | -------------------------

On March 3, 2006,
the Companys largest customer, Dana, and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On
August 7, 2007, the Company entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement with Dana to resolve all outstanding disputes between the parties, terminate previously approved arbitration payments and enter into a new long-term supply contract
running through 2014. In addition, Dana provided the Company with an allowed general unsecured non-priority claim in the amount of $89,900,000, which was recorded by the Company at its estimated fair value of $76,483,000 as of the August 7,
2007 settlement date. The claim entitled the Company to receive an initial distribution of 3,090,408 shares of common stock in Dana, the right to participate in additional distributions of reserved shares of common stock of Dana if certain disputed
matters are ultimately resolved for less than Danas reserves for those matters (estimated by the Company to represent an additional 739,000 shares) and the right to receive a distribution of cash of $6,891,000.

Dana emerged from bankruptcy on January 31, 2008, and on February 1, 2008, the newly issued shares of Dana Holding Corporation began trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. On February 11, 2008, the Company received its initial distribution of common stock (3,090,408 shares), and on March 18, 2008 the Company received its cash distribution totaling $6,891,000. On April 21,
2008, July 30, 2008 and October 10, 2008, the Company received 114,536, 152,506 and 384,931 of Dana common shares, respectively. To date, the Company has received approximately 98% of the total common shares it expects to receive.

The aforementioned cash distribution was recorded as a reduction in the Companys $76,483,000 recorded basis in the claim. Of the
remaining $69,592,000, $56,162,000 was attributed to the initial distribution of shares received by the Company in February 2008, $2,081,000 was attributed to the shares received in April 2008, $2,771,000 was attributed to the shares received in
July 2008 and $6,995,000 was attributed to the shares received in October 2008 (approximately $18.17 per share). The remaining $1,583,000 was attributed to the 87,000 in additional shares expected to be received by the Company. If the Company
ultimately receives fewer additional shares than expected, the recorded costs of shares held would be adjusted on a pro rata basis.

The

|(3) | Restructuring, Impairments and Other Nonrecurring Charges
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------

As announced during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company committed to a restructuring program, which included the closure of its Kenton, Ohio facility, the integration of its Aerospace & Defense subsidiaries and the potential
closure of other U.S. based Industrial Group locations. The purpose of the restructuring program was to reduce fixed costs, accelerate integration efficiencies, exit certain unprofitable product lines and significantly improve operating earnings on
a sustained basis. The Company expects to complete its program by early 2010.

In 2008, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$45,086,000, or $2.45 per share, related to these initiatives, which is included in nonrecurring expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A summary of the pre-tax charges is as follows (in thousands):

Severance and benefit-related costs tied to workforce reductions were recorded in accordance with
SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities(SFAS No. 146) and SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits(SFAS No. 112). Under SFAS No. 146,
one-time termination benefits that are conditioned on employment through a certain transition period are recognized ratably between the date employees are communicated the details of the one-time termination benefit and their final date of service.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded $2,723,000 in 2008 and expects to record an additional $1,430,000 in 2009.

The Company evaluates its
long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(SFAS No. 144).
The Companys strategic decision to close certain facilities and transfer production among other facilities led to a $12,181,000 non-cash impairment charge in 2008. The charge was based on the excess of carrying value of certain assets not
expected to be redeployed over their respective fair value. Fair values for these assets were determined based on third-party appraisals and discounted cash flow analyses. For assets to be redeployed to other Company locations, the Company incurred
$239,000 in relocation costs and expects to incur $3,940,000 in additional costs in 2009 and early 2010.

Forecasted volumes for one of the
Companys link encryption product was significantly reduced during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to revised demand estimates from the National Security Agency. The Company had incurred and deferred over $20,000,000 in pre-contract costs since
2005. Based on this revision in demand, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $16,102,000 to write off a portion of these deferred contract costs in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). At December 31, 2008, $3,841,000 in deferred contract costs associated with future performance under the program continues to be carried in other
current assets (Note 6). Additionally, as a result of integration efforts within the Aerospace & Defense segment and the exit from certain other non-core product lines, the Company recorded non-cash inventory charges totaling $7,895,000 for
inventory determined to be excess or obsolete as of December 31, 2008.

Asset retirement obligations recorded during 2008 relate to
the expected closure of two Industrial Group facilities. Although the Company is indemnified for major environmental conditions that existed prior to the

acquisition of these facilities, certain other matters, including emptying residual chemicals from remaining storage tanks, purging operating pipelines
within the facilities, and filling pits following the relocation of strategic operating equipment to other facilities, remain the responsibility of the Company. Such costs are estimated to be $1,500,000, none of which was expended during 2008.

In connection with the Companys restructuring, rights conveyed under certain leases ceased being used during the fourth quarter of
2008. Aggregate discounted lease payments and a $915,000 lease termination payment to be made in 2009 were accrued in 2008 in accordance with SFAS No. 146. Total lease contract termination costs amounted to $3,209,000 for 2008.

The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $5,980,000 in the
Industrial Group and $1,349,000 in the Aerospace & Defense segment. The total pre-tax costs of $52,415,000 expected to be incurred includes $23,908,000 within the Industrial Group and $28,507,000 within the Aerospace & Defense
segment.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company evaluated its goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Given developments in the global truck components industry, it was determined that the carrying value of the Industrial Groups goodwill exceeded its fair value. The fair value used for determining the goodwill impairment
was based on the Companys expected present value of projected future cash flows. The Companys projections are based on significant assumptions and estimates which could vary materially from actual results. Based on the Companys
estimate of fair value, the Industrial Group recognized a $440,000 goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2008. No impairments were recorded in 2007.

|(7) | Investment in Marketable Securities
|--- | -----------------------------------

The
Companys investment in marketable securities consists exclusively of shares in Dana common stock. The Companys investment in Dana common stock is classified as an available-for-sale security in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and
measured at fair value as determined by a quoted market price (a level 1 valuation under SFAS No. 157). At December 31, 2008, the Company owned 3,742,381 common shares of Dana with a market value of $0.74 per share. Due to the significant
decline in the financial markets during the fourth quarter and Danas lower earnings projections reported during the fourth quarter, the Company determined that its investment in Dana common stock was other-than-temporarily impaired.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a $66,758,000 non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter. Future increases or decreases in the fair value of Dana common stock will be recorded through other comprehensive income until the securities are
sold or unless future declines are also

deemed other-than-temporary. Further other-than-temporary declines will be charged to earnings in the period that the declines are considered
other-than-temporary. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the fair value of the shares was valued based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical shares at December 31, 2008.

Intangible assets consist primarily of long-term supply agreements in the Industrial Group and
software rights in the Aerospace & Defense segment. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 8 years and 9 years at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Deferred tax assets, net relate to the
Companys Mexico operations and resulted primarily from the Dana settlement agreement. Other at December 31, 2008 includes unamortized loan costs for the Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes of approximately $267,000 and $614,000,
respectively. Unamortized loan costs at December 31, 2007 were $542,000 and $813,000, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets and loan costs is expected to be $995,000, $114,000, $103,000, $89,000, and $30,000 in each of the
five fiscal years subsequent to December 31, 2008, respectively.

Based upon the decision to integrate the Sypris Data Systems
division into the Sypris Electronics division to extract synergies within the Aerospace & Defense group, the Company performed a review of various product lines and strategically decided to phase out several products within the
Aerospace & Defense segment. As a result, the Company determined that the remaining intangible asset balances associated with the product lines to be discontinued were impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $275,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2008. The charge is included within nonrecurring expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

In April 2007, the Companys Revolving Credit Agreement was amended and restated to: i) limit
total borrowings at $50,000,000, with $50,000,000 of additional borrowings available upon lead bank approval, ii) extend the Credit Agreement through October 2009, iii) revise certain financial covenants, iv) increase the Companys interest
rate structure, and v) add a security interest in the Companys accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Other terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement remained substantially unchanged.

Under the terms of the amended Revolving Credit Agreement, interest rates are determined at the time of borrowing and are based on the London Interbank
Offered Rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.50%; or the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin up to 1.00%. The Company also pays a fee of 0.20% to 0.50% on the unused portion of the aggregate commitment. The
margins applied to the respective interest rates and the commitment fee are adjusted quarterly and are based on the Companys ratio of net funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The Company also amended the Senior Notes in April 2007 to enable a portion of their repayment,
revise certain financial covenants, modify the June 30, 2014 principal payment to June 30, 2012, increase the Companys fixed interest rates and among other things, add a security interest in the Companys accounts receivable,
inventory and equipment. Other terms of the Senior Notes remained substantially unchanged. The Company paid $25,000,000 on the Senior Notes in April 2007.

After the aforementioned modifications, the Companys principal commitment under the Revolving Credit Agreement was due in October 2009, while the Companys principal commitment under the Senior Notes
consist of $4,091,000 of notes due in June 2009 bearing interest at 7.25%, $15,000,000 of notes due in 2011 bearing interest at 7.45% and $10,909,000 due in 2012 bearing interest at 7.55%.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had total availability for borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $5,037,000
along with an unrestricted cash balance of $13,717,000, which provides for total cash and borrowing capacity of $18,754,000. Approximately $355,000 of the unrestricted cash balance relates to the Companys Mexican subsidiaries. Standby letters
of credit up to a maximum of $15,000,000 may be issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement of which $1,963,000 and $1,913,000 were issued at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate for outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2008 was 5.14%. The weighted average interest rates for borrowings
during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 6.3% and 6.7%, respectively. Interest incurred during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $4,447,000 and $4,240,000, respectively. The Company had no
capitalized interest in 2008 or 2007. Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $3,954,000 and $5,718,000, respectively.

The Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes contain various covenants, including certain interest coverage and leverage ratios, among others. As of December 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with
these ratios. However, the Companys Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes were amended as of March, 2009 to, among other things, i) waive the default as of December 31, 2008, ii) limit total borrowings, iii) revise the maturity date
for the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes to January 2010, iv) revise certain financial covenants, v) restrict the payment of dividends, vi) require mandatory prepayment to the extent that marketable securities or other collateral is sold, and vii)
increase the Companys interest rate structure.

Based on the current forecast for 2009, the Company expects to be able to meet the
financial covenants of its amended debt agreements and has sufficient liquidity to finance its operations. Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying its current forecast are realistic, the Company has considered the possibility of
even lower revenues and other risk factors such as its ability to execute its current restructuring plans. If the Company experiences lower revenues than anticipated, the Company believes it can still comply with the amended debt covenants and
satisfy the liquidity needs of the business during 2009. However, there is a high degree of instability in the current environment, and it is possible that certain scenarios would result in the Companys non-compliance with financial covenants
under the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

Non-compliance with the covenants would provide the debt holders with the ability to
demand immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Accordingly, the inability to comply with covenants, obtain waivers for non-compliance, or obtain alternative financing would have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Based upon the Companys
current level of operations, and its 2009 business plan, the Company believes that cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under its amended credit agreements will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs for at least the
next twelve months.

|(13) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|---- | -----------------------------------

Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying value
for the Senior Notes exceeded the fair value by approximately $2,072,000 at December 31, 2008. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because borrowings are
for terms of less than six months and have rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.



|(14) | Employee Benefit Plans
|---- | ----------------------

The Industrial Group
sponsors noncontributory defined benefit pension plans (the Pension Plans) covering certain of its employees. The Pension Plans covering salaried and management employees provide pension benefits that are based on the employees highest
five-year average compensation within ten years before retirement. The Pension Plans covering hourly employees and union members generally provide benefits at stated amounts for each year of service. All of the Companys pension plans are
frozen to new participants and certain plans are frozen to additional benefit accruals. The Companys funding policy is to make the minimum annual contributions required by the applicable regulations. The Pension Plans assets are
primarily invested in equity securities and fixed income securities. The following table details the components of pension (income) expense (in thousands):

The Company uses December 31 as the measurement date for the Pension Plans. Total estimated
contributions expected to be paid to the plans during 2009 ranges from $100,000 to $300,000. The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2008 and 2007 were chosen by the Company from a best
estimate range determined by applying anticipated long-term returns and long-term volatility for various assets categories to the target asset allocation of the plan. The target asset allocation of plan assets is equity securities ranging 55-65% and
fixed income securities ranging 35-45% of total investments. At December 31, 2008, the fixed income percentage temporarily exceeded the range due to reduced market value for equity securities.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2008 includes the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension
cost: unrecognized prior service credits of $307,000 and unrecognized actuarial losses $16,149,000. The prior service credit and actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension
cost during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 is $69,000 and $1,076,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, the benefits
expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years, and in aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the Defined Contribution Plan) for substantially
all employees of the Company. The Defined Contribution Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Defined Contribution Plan allows the Company to match participant contributions and provide
discretionary contributions. Contributions to the Defined Contribution Plan in 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $2,322,000 and $2,332,000, respectively.

The Company has self-insured medical plans (the Medical Plans) covering substantially all domestic employees. The number of employees participating in the Medical Plans was approximately 1,375 and 1,522 at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Medical Plans limit the Companys annual obligations to fund claims to specified amounts per participant. The Company is adequately insured for amounts in excess of these limits. Employees are
responsible for payment of a portion of the premiums. During 2008 and 2007, the Company charged approximately $12,320,000 and $14,424,000, respectively, to operations related to medical claims incurred and estimated, reinsurance premiums, and
administrative costs for the Medical Plans.

In addition, certain of the Companys non-U.S. employees are covered by various defined benefit
and defined contribution plans. The Companys expenses for these plans related to continuing operations totaled approximately $180,000 and $160,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The aggregate benefit plan assets and accumulated benefit
obligation of these plans are not significant.



|(15) | Commitments and Contingencies
|---- | -----------------------------

The Company leases
certain of its real property and certain equipment, vehicles and computer hardware under operating leases with terms ranging from month-to-month to ten years and which contain various renewal and rent escalation clauses. Future minimum annual lease
commitments under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

|                    |  |   |       

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $8,309,000
and $9,083,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $34,955,000
primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing equipment.

The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive
insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers compensation insurance programs, a self insured workers compensation program and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for
its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated
insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The Company believes that its
present insurance coverage and level of accrued liabilities are adequate.

The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract
issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. For example, the Company has purchased certain plants with various potential environmental issues under purchase agreements which include indemnification provisions for,
among other things, environmental conditions that existed on the sites at closing.



|(16) | Stock Option and Purchase Plans
|---- | -------------------------------

The Companys
stock compensation program provides for the grant of restricted stock (including performance-based restricted stock), unrestricted stock, stock options and performance-based stock options (Target Options). A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock
were reserved for issuance under the 2004 Equity Plan. The aggregate number of shares available for future grant as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 1,189,741 and 1,479,043, respectively.

On August 1, 2005, the Company first issued restricted shares under the 2004 Equity Plan, including certain shares subject to performance
requirements (Performance Restricted Stock). The 2004 Equity Plan provides for restrictions which lapse after one, two, three or four years for certain grants or for certain other shares, one-third of the restriction is removed after three, five and
seven years, respectively. During the restricted period, which is

commensurate with each vesting period, the recipients receive dividends and voting rights for the shares. Generally, if a recipient leaves the Company before
the end of the restricted period or if performance requirements, if any, are not met, the shares will be forfeited.

The Company has
certain stock compensation plans under which options to purchase common stock may be granted to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. Options may be granted at not less than the market price on the date of grant. Stock option grants
under the 2004 Equity Plan include both six and ten year lives along with graded vesting over three, four and five years of service.

Fair
value for restricted shares is equal to the stock price on the date of grant, while the fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The Company uses historical Company and
industry data to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life, the expected forfeiture rate and the expected dividend yield. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the
estimated life of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:



|                         |  |                          |   |  |      |

On March 31, 2008, the Company offered eligible participants, including executive officers
and directors of the Company, the opportunity to surrender certain vested outstanding, unexercised stock options which have exercise prices greater than $4.31 per share (the market value of a share of the Companys common stock on
March 31, 2008) in exchange for shares of common stock or new options to acquire common stock with an exercise price of $4.31 per share, pursuant to the 2004 Equity Plan (the 2008 Exchange Offer). Participants could participate in the offer if
they remained employed until May 12, 2008, the date on which the Company cancelled eligible options under the offer. At the participants election, the participant could exchange all of the eligible options owned by such participant for
either shares of common stock having a fair value equivalent to the fair value of each such eligible option, or new, vested options to purchase shares of Sypris common stock having a fair value equivalent to the fair value of each such eligible
option.

The ratio of shares subject to eligible options cancelled to common stock and new options issued was calculated using the
Black-Scholes Merton Option Valuation Model. Each share of common stock and new option granted with respect to an exchanged option was fully vested. All new options are exercisable through March 30, 2012 unless earlier forfeited.

Pursuant to the 2008 Exchange Offer and in exchange for the options surrendered, the Company issued 904 shares of common stock, in addition to 179,946
options to purchase common stock.

On May 14, 2007 the Company offered eligible participants, including executive officers and
directors of the Company, the opportunity to surrender certain vested outstanding, unexercised stock options which have exercise prices greater than $7.90 per share (the market value of a share of the Companys common stock on May 14,
2007) in exchange for shares of common stock or new options to acquire common stock with an exercise price of $7.90 per share, pursuant to the 2004 Equity Plan (the 2007 Exchange Offer). Participants could participate in the offer if they remained
employed through June 13, 2007, the date on which the Company canceled eligible options under the offer. At the participants election, the participant could exchange all of the eligible options owned by such participant for either
(i) shares of common stock having a fair value equivalent to the fair value of each such eligible option, or (ii) new options to purchase shares of Sypris common stock having a fair value equivalent to the fair value of each such eligible
option.

The ratio of shares subject to eligible options cancelled to common stock and new options issued was calculated using the
Black-Scholes Merton Valuation Model. If a participant elected to exchange any eligible options, he or she also surrendered any Target Options granted under any Sypris equity plan. Each share of common stock and new option granted with respect to an
exchanged option was fully vested. All new options are exercisable through May 14, 2011 unless earlier forfeited.

Pursuant to the 2007 Exchange Offer and in exchange for the options surrendered, the Company issued
159,974 shares of common stock and 374,529 options to purchase common stock. Additionally, participants surrendered 150,500 Target Options under the program, which represented all remaining Target Options outstanding at the date of exchange.

On February 26, 2008, the Company granted 282,379 restricted stock awards under a long-term incentive program. Twenty-five percent of
the restricted stock awards will vest in one-third increments on each of the third, fifth and seventh anniversaries of the grant date. Seventy-five percent of the restricted stock awards will vest in one-quarter increments on each of the first,
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the achievement of the Vesting Trigger Date. This Vesting Trigger Date is the first business day following the Companys achievement of a specified target for aggregate net income as measured over the
previous four fiscal quarters. If no Vesting Trigger Date occurs before December 31, 2010, this portion of the restricted stock awards will be immediately forfeited.

On January 12, 2007, the Company granted 258,000 restricted stock awards under a key employee retention program which vest over two or four years, as applicable. On March 1, 2007, the Company also granted
305,290 restricted stock awards under a long-term incentive program. Twenty-five percent of the restricted stock awards will vest in one-third increments on each of the third, fifth and seventh anniversaries of the grant date. Seventy-five percent
of the restricted stock awards will vest in one-quarter increments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the achievement of the Vesting Trigger Date. This Vesting Trigger Date is the first business day following the
Companys achievement of a specified target for aggregate net income as measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. If no Vesting Trigger Date occurs before March 1, 2010, this portion of the restricted stock awards will be
immediately forfeited.

The total fair value of shares vested during 2008 was $71,000. No shares vested during 2007. In
conjunction with the vesting of restricted shares and payment of taxes thereon, the Company received into treasury 6,502 restricted shares at an average price of $3.40 per share, the closing market price on the date the restricted stock vested. Such

|(17) | Stockholders Equity
|---- | --------------------

The Company has a
stockholder rights plan, under which each stockholder owns one right for each outstanding share of common stock owned. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of preferred stock at an exercise price
of $63.00. The rights trade along with, and not separately from, the shares of common stock unless they become exercisable. If any person or group acquires or makes a tender offer for 15% or more of the common stock of the Company (except in
transactions approved by the Companys Board of Directors in advance) the rights become exercisable, and they will separate, become tradable, and entitle stockholders, other than such person or group, to acquire, at the exercise price,
preferred stock with a market value equal to twice the exercise price. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination with such person or group, or if 50% of its earning power or assets are sold to such person or group, each
right will entitle its holder, other than such person or group, to acquire, at the exercise price, shares of the acquiring companys common stock with a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights will expire on October 23, 2011,
unless redeemed or exchanged earlier by the Company, and will be represented by existing common stock certificates until they become exercisable.

As of December 31, 2008, 24,850 shares of the Companys preferred stock were designated as Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the adoption of the stockholder rights plan. There are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock
currently outstanding. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have voting rights, be entitled to receive dividends based on a defined formula and have certain rights in the event of the Companys dissolution. The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. However, the Company may purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market or pursuant to an offer to a holder or holders.

The Companys accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of employee benefit related adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments.

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,requires that a valuation allowance be
established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The loss incurred in the year ended December 31, 2008, and the net cumulative loss for the current and prior two years, represents
negative evidence under the provisions of SFAS No. 109 requiring the Company to establish a valuation allowance against domestic deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance offsets assets associated with future tax deductions, carryforward
items and impairment of marketable securities. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. and
certain non-U.S. tax benefits.

The Company generated $9,912,000 in deferred tax assets at its foreign subsidiary associated with the
impairment of marketable securities. These deferred tax assets were the result of capital losses. Under Mexican tax law, capital losses may only be deducted to the extent of capital gains. As the Company has no assurance of generating future capital
gains, a full valuation allowance associated with the capital loss was recorded, as it did not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria of SFAS No. 109. The remaining deferred tax asset balance of $9,839,000 is attributable to Mexico. The Company
has been profitable in Mexico in the past and anticipates continuing profitability in the future.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Specifically, FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1,
2007. The impact of the Companys tax positions reassessment, including interest and penalties, in accordance with the requirements of FIN 48, was a benefit of $996,000 in 2008 and $104,000 in 2007.

The 2008 assessment of tax positions of prior years was impacted by net operating losses incurred
during 2008.

If the Companys positions are sustained by the taxing authority in favor of the Company, the entire balance at
December 31, 2008 would reduce the Companys effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not have an accrual for the payment of tax-related interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had accrued approximately $331,000 for
the payment of tax-related interest and penalties, the balance of which is carried in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is not currently examining the Companys U.S. income tax returns for 2005 through
2008, for which the statute has yet to expire. In addition, open tax years related to state and foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination but are not considered material.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act), which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, introduces a special one-time dividends received
deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (Repatriation Provision), provided certain criteria are met. The FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-2 in December 2004, which requires the recording of tax expense if
and when an entity decides to repatriate foreign earnings subject to the Act. The Company has considered the implications of the Act on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings, which reduces the Federal income tax rate on dividends from
non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company did not repatriate earnings under the Act in fiscal 2008 or 2007 because it intends to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings outside the U.S., and has not provided an estimate for any U.S. or additional foreign
taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated. However, the Company believes that U.S. foreign tax credits would, for the most part, eliminate any additional U.S. tax.

|(19) | Loss Per Common Share
|---- | ---------------------

Basic loss per common share
is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock.

The following table

Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding and assumed conversions excludes all outstanding
options and restricted stock at December 31, 2008 and 2007 because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.



|(20) | Segment Information
|---- | -------------------

The Company is organized into
two business groups, the Industrial Group and the Electronics Group. The Industrial Group is one reportable business segment, while the Electronics Group includes two reportable business segments, Aerospace & Defense and Test &
Measurement. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions between the products, services, markets, customers, technologies, and workforce skills of the segments. The Industrial Group provides manufacturing services for a
variety of customers that outsource forged and finished steel components and subassemblies. The Industrial Group also manufactures high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. The Aerospace & Defense reportable segment provides
manufacturing and technical services as an outsourced service provider and manufactures complex data storage systems. The Test & Measurement reportable segment provides a wide range of technical services for a diversified customer base as
an outsourced service provider and manufactures magnetic instruments, current sensors, and other electronic products. Revenue derived from outsourced services for the Industrial Group accounted for 56% and 60% of total net revenue in 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Revenue derived from outsourced services for the Aerospace & Defense reportable segment accounted for 13% and 11% of total net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Revenue derived from outsourced services for the
Test & Measurement reportable segment accounted for 12% and 11% of total net revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. There was no intersegment net revenue recognized for any year presented.
