   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - April 2, 2005

                            (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normally recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of Tech/Ops Sevcon as of April 2, 2005 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended
April 2, 2005.

     The significant accounting policies followed by Tech/Ops Sevcon are set
forth in Note 1 to the financial statements in the 2004 Tech/Ops Sevcon, Inc.
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Inventories

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs
include materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are
relieved from inventory on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company's
reported financial condition includes a provision for estimated slow-
moving and obsolete inventory that is based on a comparison of inventory
levels with forecast future demand. Such demand is estimated based on
many factors, including management judgments, relating to each customer's
business and to economic conditions. The Company reviews in detail all
significant inventory items with holdings in excess of estimated normal
requirements. It also considers the likely impact of changing technology. It
makes an estimate of the provision for slow moving and obsolete stock on an
item-by-item basis based on a combination of likely usage based on forecast
customer demand, potential sale or scrap value and possible alternative use.
This provision represents the difference between original cost and market
value at the end of the financial period. In cases where there is no
estimated future use for the inventory item and there is no estimated scrap
or resale value, a 100% provision is recorded. Where the Company estimates
that only part of the total holding of an inventory item will not be used,
or there is an estimated scrap, resale or alternate use value, then a
proportionate provision is recorded. Once an item has been written down,
it is not subsequently revalued upwards. The provision for slow moving and
obsolete inventories at April 2, 2005 was $904,000, or 18% of the original
cost of gross inventory. At September 30, 2004 the provision was $879,000,
or 18% of gross inventory. Inventories comprised of:

to be expected for the full year.

(2)  New Accounting Pronouncements

     In October 2004, the President signed into law the American Jobs
Creation Act (the Act). The Act allows for a federal income tax deduction
for a percentage of income earned from certain domestic production
activities. The Company's domestic, or U.S., production activities may
qualify for the deduction. Based on the effective date of the Act, the
Company would be eligible for this deduction in the first quarter of fiscal
2006. Additionally, on December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS No. 109), to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities
Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" (FSP 109-1). FSP 109-1,
which was effective upon issuance, states the deduction under this provision
of the Act should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with
SFAS 109. The Company has not yet quantified the benefit that may be realized
from this provision of the Act.

     The Act also allows for an 85% dividends received deduction on the
repatriation of certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. On December 21,
2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure
Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004" (FSP 109-2). FSP 109-2, which was effective upon
issuance, allows companies time beyond the financial reporting period of
enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or
repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109.
Additionally FSP 109-2 provides guidance regarding the required disclosures
surrounding a company's reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings.
The Company continues to evaluate this provision of the Act to determine
the amount of foreign earnings to repatriate. Currently the Company does
not expect the potential repatriation to have a material impact on its
effective tax rate.

     In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS #151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43" ("SFAS #151"),
which is the result of its efforts to converge U.S. accounting standards
for inventories with International Accounting Standards. SFAS #151
requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current-period charges.
It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. SFAS #151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred
during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is
evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial
statements.

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)#123R, "Share-Based
Payment". This Statement replaces SFAS #123 "Accounting for Stock based
Compensation" and supersedes APB #25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". This Statement establishes fair value on the grant date as
the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment
arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based
measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions
with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share
ownership plans. This Statement is effective for public entities that
do not file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first
annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.

     In addition, in March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
107, "Share-Based Payment" (SAB 107). SAB 107 provides supplemental
implementation guidance on Statement 123R, including guidance on valuation
methods, classification of compensation expense, inventory capitalization of
share-based compensation cost, income tax effects, disclosures in
Management's Discussion and Analysis and several other issues.

     The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS #123R effective at the
beginning of fiscal 2006 The Company will adopt the modified prospective
application transition method. Under this method the Company expects to
incur expense relating to previously issued stock options of approximately
$30,000 in fiscal 2006. The accounting for restricted stock issued in fiscal
2005 will be substantially unchanged by the application of SFAS #123R.

(3)  Stock-Based Compensation Plans

     SFAS #123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS
#148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure"
and to be replaced by SFAS 123R "Share-Based Payment" defines a fair value
based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity
instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting.
However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs
using the method of accounting proscribed by APB #25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees". Until SFAS #123R becomes effective in fiscal 2006 the
Company continues to account for its stock-based compensation plans under
APB #25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS #123
the Company's net income and earnings per share would have equaled the
following pro forma amounts:

                    (in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

     The effects of applying SFAS #123 in this pro forma disclosure are not
indicative of future amounts. SFAS #123 does not apply to awards prior to
fiscal 1996 and additional awards in future years are anticipated.

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions.

                                             2005     2004     2003

     Risk-free interest rate                  N/A      N/A     3.0%
     Expected dividend yield                  N/A      N/A     2.7%
     Expected life (years)                    N/A      N/A       7
     Expected volatility of                   N/A      N/A      47%

     No options were granted in the first six months of fiscal 2005 or in
fiscal 2004.

     In November 2004 the Company granted 35,000 shares of restricted
stock to five employees which will vest in five equal annual installments
providing that the grantee remains an employee of the Company, or as
determined by the Compensation Committee. The estimated fair value of
the stock on the date of grant was $182,000 based on the fair market
value on the stock on date of issue and estimated forfeitures of 4%
per year. The estimated forfeitures are based on the historical rate
of turnover of the relevant group of employees. This amount was
credited to common stock and paid in surplus and the $182,000 was
recorded as "Unearned compensation on restricted stock", a deduction
from stockholders equity. The unearned compensation is being charged to
income on a straight line basis over the five year period during which the
forfeiture conditions lapse. The charge to income for employee restricted
stock grants in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $12,000 and the
subsequent regular quarterly charge will be approximately $9,000.

     In January 2005 the Company granted 12,000 shares of restricted stock
to six non-employee directors which will vest on the day before the 2006
annual meeting, provided that the grantee remains a director of the
Company, or as determined by the Compensation Committee. The estimated
fair value of the stock on the date of grant was $85,000 based on the
fair market value on the stock on date of issue. Due to the short-term
vesting period no forfeitures have been estimated. This amount was
credited to common stock and paid in surplus and the $85,000 was recorded
as "Unearned compensation on restricted stock", a deduction from
stockholders equity. The unearned compensation is being charged to
income on a straight line basis over the one year period during which the
forfeiture conditions lapse. The charge to income for non-employee directors
restricted stock grants in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $14,000
and the subsequent regular quarterly charge will be approximately $21,000.

     During the restriction period, five years for employees and one year
for non-employee directors, ownership of unvested shares cannot be
transferred. Restricted stock has the same cash dividend and voting
rights as other common stock and is considered to be currently issued and
outstanding. For the purposes of calculating average issued shares for
earnings per shares these shares are only considered to be outstanding when
the forfeiture conditions lapse and the shares vest.

     The estimated stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2005 is as
follows. No stock-based compensation expense was recorded in fiscal 2004.

* Pro forma expense of approximately $14,000 per quarter is expected to be
recorded for stock options accounted for under APB #25 in each quarter of
fiscal 2005.

(4)  Cash Dividends

     On March 7, 2005, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per
share for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, which was paid on April 7, 2005
to stockholders of record on March 23, 2005. The Company has paid regular
quarterly cash dividends since the first quarter of fiscal 1990.

(5)  Calculation of Earnings Per Share and Weighted Average Shares

     Basic and fully diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

                   (in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

(6)  Segment information

     The Company has two reportable segments: electronic controls and
capacitors. The electronic controls segment produces control systems and
accessories for battery powered vehicles. The capacitor segment produces
electronic components for sale to electronic equipment manufacturers. Each
segment has its own management team, manufacturing facilities and sales
force.

     The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as
those described in note(1) to the 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
Inter-segment revenues are accounted for at current market prices. The
Company evaluates the performance of each segment principally based on
operating income. The Company does not allocate income taxes, interest
income and expense or foreign currency translation gains and losses to
segments. Information concerning operations of these businesses is as
follows:

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

     Research and development expense decreased by $120,000, or 3.0% of
sales, compared to the second quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease was
principally due to lower engineering consultancy costs on advanced new
product development, which was partially offset by the cost of increased
internal engineering resources and foreign currency fluctuations.

(8)  Employee Benefit Plans

     Tech/Ops Sevcon has defined benefit plans covering the majority of its
US and UK employees. There is also a small defined contribution plan. The
following table sets forth the components of the net pension cost as defined

     Tech/Ops Sevcon contributed $216,000 to its pension plans in the six
 months ended April 2, 2005 and presently anticipates contributing a further
$304,000 to fund its plans in the remainder of fiscal 2005, for a total
contribution of $520,000. In addition employee contributions to the UK plan
were $126,000 in the first six months and are estimated to total $253,000
in fiscal 2005.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Statements in this discussion and analysis about the Company's
anticipated financial results and growth, as well as those about the
development of its products and markets, are forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected. These include the risks discussed
under 'Risk Factors' below and throughout this Item 2.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Company will adopt the following new accounting pronouncements in
fiscal 2005. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a more
detailed description of these new accounting pronouncements.

     FASB Staff Position 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109), to the Tax Deduction on
Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation
Act of 2004" - The Company has not yet quantified the benefit that may be
realized from this provision of the Act.

     FASB Staff Position 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for
the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004" - Currently the Company does not expect the potential
repatriation to have a material impact on its effective tax rate.

     SFAS #151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43" - The Company
is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.

     SFAS#123R, "Share-Based Payment" - Adoption was planned for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2005 but, following a change announced by the SEC on April
15, 2005, adoption has been deferred to the start of fiscal 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

     The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1
of its Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial
condition and results of operations, certain of these policies require
management to use a significant degree of judgement and/or make estimates,
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Since
these are judgements and estimates, they are sensitive to changes in
business and economic realities, and events may cause actual operating
results to differ materially from the amounts derived from management's
estimates and judgements.

     The Company believes the following represent the most critical
accounting judgments and estimates affecting its reported financial
condition and results of operations:

Bad Debts

     The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on
known factors related to the credit risk of each customer and management's
judgment about the customer's business. Ten customers account for
approximately 57% of the Company's sales in the current fiscal year to date.
At April 2, 2005 the allowance for bad debts amounted to $145,000, which
represented 2% of receivables.

     Because of the Company's long term relationships with the majority of
its customers, in most cases, the principal bad debt risk to the Company
arises from the insolvency of a customer rather than its unwillingness
to pay. In addition, in certain cases the Company maintains credit
insurance covering up to 90% of the amount outstanding from specific
customers. The Company also carries out some of its foreign trade,
particularly in the Far East, using letters of credit.

     The Company reviews all accounts receivable balances on a regular
basis, concentrating on any balances that are more than 30 days overdue,
or where there is an identified credit risk with a specific customer. A
decision is taken on a customer-by-customer basis as to whether a bad
debt reserve is considered necessary based on the specific facts and
circumstances of each account. In general, the Company would reserve
100% of the receivable, net of any recoverable value added taxes or
insurance coverages, for a customer that becomes insolvent or files for
bankruptcy, and lesser amounts for less imminent defaults. To a lesser
degree, the Company maintains a small bad debt reserve to cover the
remaining balances based on historical default percentages.

     If the financial condition of any of the Company's customers is worse
than estimated or were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its
ability to make payments, the Company's results may be adversely
affected and additional allowances may be required. With the exception
of a significant loss of $562,000 in fiscal 2001 relating to one US
customer, credit losses have not been significant in the past ten years.

Inventories

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory
costs include materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and
are relieved from inventory on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company
carries out a significant amount of customization of standard products
and also designs and manufactures special products to meet the unique
requirements of its customers. This results in a significant proportion
of the Company's inventory being customer specific. The Company's
reported financial condition includes a provision for estimated slow-
moving and obsolete inventory that is based on a comparison of inventory
levels with forecast future demand. Such demand is estimated based on
many factors, including management judgments, relating to each
customer's business and to economic conditions. The Company reviews in
detail all significant inventory items with holdings in excess of
estimated normal requirements. It also considers the likely impact of
changing technology. It makes an estimate of the provision for slow
moving and obsolete stock on an item-by-item basis based on a
combination of likely usage based on forecast customer demand, potential
sale or scrap value and possible alternative use. This provision
represents the difference between original cost and market value at the
end of the financial period. In cases where there is no estimated future
use for the inventory item and there is no estimated scrap or resale
value, a 100% provision is recorded. Where the Company estimates that
only part of the total holding of an inventory item will not be used, or
there is an estimated scrap, resale or alternate use value, then a
proportionate provision is recorded. Once an item has been written down,
it is not subsequently revalued upwards. The provision for slow moving
and obsolete inventories at April 2, 2005 was $904,000, or 18% of
the original cost of gross inventory. At September 30, 2004 the
provision was $879,000, or 18% of gross inventory. If actual future
demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by
management, or if product designs change more quickly than forecast,
additional inventory write-downs may be required, which may have a
material adverse impact on reported results.

Warranty Costs

     The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties
at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in product
quality programs and processes, the Company's warranty obligation is
affected by product failure rates and repair or replacement costs incurred
in correcting a product failure. Accordingly, the provision for warranty
costs is based upon anticipated in-warranty failure rates and estimated
costs of repair or replacement. Anticipating product failure rates involves
making difficult judgments about the likelihood of defects in materials,
design and manufacturing errors, and other factors that are based in part
on historical failure rates and trends, but also on management's expertise
in engineering and manufacturing. Estimated repair and replacement costs
are affected by varying component and labor costs. Should actual product
failure rates and repair or replacement costs differ from estimates,
revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required and the
Company's results may be materially adversely affected. In the event that
the Company discovers a product defect that impacts the safety of its
products, then a product recall may be necessary, which could involve the
Company in substantial unanticipated expense significantly in excess of
the reserve. There were no significant safety related product recalls
during the past three fiscal years.

Goodwill Impairment

     The Company carries out an annual assessment to determine if the
goodwill relating to the controls business amounting to $1,435,000 has
been impaired, in accordance with the requirements of SFAS #142 "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets". In fiscal 2004 the Company retained an
investment banking firm specializing in valuations to assist the
Company in performing this impairment assessment. The assessment was
based on three separate methods of valuing the controls business based
on expected free cash flows, the market price of the Company's stock
and an analysis of precedent transactions. These methods require
estimates of future revenues, profits, capital expenditures and working
capital requirements which are based on evaluation of historical trends,
current budgets, operating plans and industry data. Based on all of these
valuation methods the conclusion was that the goodwill had not been
impaired. If, in future periods, the Company's results of operations,
cash flows or the market price of the Company's stock were to decrease
significantly then it may be necessary to record an impairment charge
relating to goodwill of up to $1,435,000.

Pension Plan Assumptions

     The Company makes a number of assumptions relating to its pension
plans in order to measure the financial position of the plans and the net
periodic benefit cost. The most significant assumptions relate to the
discount rate, the expected long term return on plan assets and the rate
of future compensation increase. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect
then the Company may need to record additional expense relating to the
pension plans which could have a material effect on the Company's results
of operations. The Company's pension plans are significant relative to the
size of the Company. Pension plan assets were $12,899,000 at September 30,
2004 and the total assets of the Company were $16,608,000. Although the
plan assets are not included in the assets of the Company they are 78% of
size of the Company's total assets. If, as a result of changes in
assumptions, the accumulated benefit obligation of either of the plans
were to exceed the fair value of assets of that plan, then an adjustment
to record this additional liability and corresponding decrease stockholders
equity would be necessary, which could have a material effect on the
Company's financial position.

RISK FACTORS

     In addition to the market risk factors relating to foreign currency
and interest rate risk set out below, the Company believes that the
following represent the most significant risk factors for the Company:

Capital goods markets are cyclical

     The Company's customers are mainly manufacturers of capital goods
such as fork lift trucks, aerial lifts and railway signaling equipment.
These markets are cyclical and are currently showing modest growth, but
demand in these markets could decrease or customers could decide to
purchase alternative products. In this event the Company's sales could
decrease below its current break even point and there is no certainty
that the Company would be able to decrease overhead expenses to enable
it to operate profitably.

     Single source materials and sub-contractors may not meet the Company's
needs.

     The Company relies on certain suppliers and sub-contractors for all
of its requirements for certain components, sub-assemblies and finished
products. In the event that such suppliers and sub-contractors are unable
or unwilling to continue supplying the Company, or to meet the Company's
cost and quality targets or needs for timely delivery, there is no
certainty that the Company would be able to establish alternative
sources of supply in time to meet customer demand.

     Damage to the Company's or sub-contractor's buildings would hurt
results.

     In the controller business the majority of product is produced in a
single plant in England and uses sub-assemblies sourced from a
sub-contractor with single plant in Poland. The capacitor business is
located in a single plant in Wales. In the event that any of these plants
was to be damaged or destroyed, there is no certainty that the Company
would be able to establish alternative facilities in time to meet customer
demand. The Company does carry property damage and business interruption
insurance but this may not cover certain lost business due to the long-term
nature of the relationships with many customers.

The Company risks adverse litigation impact

     In fiscal 2002 the Company received a demand for repayment of an
alleged preference payment of $180,000 received from a customer in the
90 days prior to their filing for protection under Chapter 11 during
fiscal 2000. At the time this customer filed for Chapter 11 protection
it owed the Company $50,000 and this amount was fully reserved in the
fiscal 2000 financial statements. The Company is vigorously contesting
this demand and believes that it has a good defense against a portion of this
claim and that its accruals for customer payments are adequate to cover its
estimated exposure to this customer.

OVERVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST SIX MONTHS

     The Company reported net income of $172,000, or $.05 per share, for the
second fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2005. Net income increased by $30,000,
from $142,000 in the comparable period last year. Basic and fully diluted
net income was $.05 per share, unchanged compared with the second quarter of
last year. Sales in the second quarter were $8,094,000 compared to $7,273,000
for the second quarter of last year. Foreign currency fluctuations caused an
increase in reported revenues of $240,000, or 3%, and volumes shipped were 8%
ahead of the prior year period.

Operating income for the second quarter was $285,000, an increase of $5,000
compared to the second quarter of last year. Gross profit increased by
$141,000 compared to last year. The benefit of higher sales volumes was
offset by lower margins on new products in the aerial lift market and by
adverse foreign currency fluctuations. Operating expense for the second
quarter was $136,000 higher than the same period last year. This was mainly
due to higher selling expense as the Company continues the launch of its
espAC range of advanced new electric vehicle controls and adverse foreign
currency fluctuations, partially offset by decreased engineering consulting
expense.

For the six month period, net income was $192,000, or $.06 per diluted share,
compared to $223,000, or $.07 per diluted share last year. Revenues in the
first six months of fiscal 2005 were $15,636,000, an increase of $1,897,000,
or 14%, compared to last year. Foreign currency fluctuations resulted in a
$605,000 increase in reported sales. Volumes were 9% ahead of the prior year.
Gross profit increased by $374,000 due to increased volumes, less the adverse
impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Higher spending on sales and
marketing for new products was partially offset by reduced engineering
expense, resulting in a net increase in operating expenses of $522,000.
Operating income for the six-month period was $305,000, compared to $453,000,
in the first half of the prior year. Foreign currency fluctuations decreased
year-to-date reported operating income by $185,000 compared to the same
period last year.

     Cash balances decreased by $495,000 in the first six months of fiscal
2005 to $410,000. Operating activities used cash of $214,000, principally
due to lower payables and increased receivables and prepaid expenses. Capital
expenditure used cash of $258,000 and dividend payments amounted to $189,000.
Exchange rate changes increased cash by $166,000.

     Sales in the second fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2005 were
$8,094,000 compared to $7,273,000 in the second quarter of last year,
an increase of $821,000, or 11%. Foreign currency fluctuations,
principally the weakness of the US dollar compared to the Euro and the
British pound, accounted for an increase of $235,000, or 3%, in revenues.
Shipment volumes were 11% ahead of the second quarter of last year.
Volumes in the U.S. Controller business increased by 30% with gains in
shipments to the aerial lift, mining and other electric vehicle markets
partially offset by lower demand in the US fork lift truck market.
Volumes in the foreign controller markets decreased by 9% compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2004, with a temporary slow down in shipments to
the Far East. Capacitor sales were 26% lower than last year at $376,000,
compared to $507,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. There was a 28%
decrease in capacitor volumes, mainly due to lower demand in the audio
capacitor and railway signaling markets. This volume decrease was partially
offset by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations which resulted in a 2%
increase in reported sales of the capacitor segment when measured in US
dollars.

     Gross profit of $3,126,000 was $141,000 higher than last year. The
increase in gross profit was mainly due to higher volumes and by foreign
currency fluctuations which increased gross profit by $75,000 in the second
quarter. Sales mix adversely impacted gross profit with the increase in sales
concentrated in low margin products, particularly in the United States where
costs have been adversely impacted by the weakness of the US dollar. Second
quarter gross profit was 38.6% of sales, a decrease of 2.5% from 41.1% of
sales in the same quarter of fiscal 2004.

     Selling, research and administrative expenses were $2,841,000, an
increase of $135,000, or 5%, compared to last year's second quarter.
Foreign currency fluctuations increased these expenses by $60,000, or 2%.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, engineering and R&D expense was
lower by $120,000 compared to the same period last year. This was mainly
due to lower engineering consulting expense, partly offset by additional
internal engineering resources, as the development of new high quality
products is completed and these products move into the testing and
customer prototyping phases. Foreign currency fluctuations increased
the reported engineering and R&D expense by $21,000. In addition sales
and marketing expense increased by $206,000 compared to the same quarter
last year, due to foreign currency fluctuations of $21,000 and an increase
in number of sales employees and additional marketing expense related to
the introduction of advanced new products.

     In the second quarter there was operating income of $285,000 compared
to $280,000 in the second quarter last year, an increase in operating income
of $5,000. Foreign currency fluctuations increased reported operating
income by $15,000. Operating income in the controller business of
$335,000 was $61,000 higher than in the second quarter of last year. The
increase in controller business operating income was mainly due to higher
volumes and lower engineering expense partially offset by additional spending
on sales and marketing of new products. There was an operating loss in the
capacitor business segment of $2,000 compared to operating income of $85,000
in the prior year second quarter, mainly due to lower volumes. Unallocated
corporate expenses were $48,000 in the current year compared to $79,000 in
the second quarter of last year.

     Other expense in the second quarter of this year was $20,000 compared
to $60,000 in the same quarter last year, a difference of $40,000. This was
mainly due to foreign currency gains in the second quarter of fiscal 2005
compared to losses last year.

     Income before income taxes of $265,000 increased by $45,000 compared
to last year when pre-tax income was $220,000. Income taxes were 35% of
pre-tax income in both years. Net income was $172,000 compared to $142,000
in the same quarter last year, an increase of $30,000. Basic and fully
diluted income per share was $.05 per share in both the current and prior
fiscal years.

Six months ended April 2, 2005

     The following table compares second quarter results by segment for
the first six months of fiscal 2005 with the prior year period, and shows
the percentage changes in total and split between the currency impact and
volume / other changes.

     Sales in the first six months of fiscal 2005 were $15,636,000, compared
to $13,739,000 in the same period last year, an increase of $1,897,000, or
14%. Foreign currency fluctuations accounted for an increase in reported
sales of $605,000, or 4%, Volumes were 9% ahead last year. Volumes in the
controller business were 12% better than last year, mainly due to strong
performance in the USA. In the capacitor business sales to external customers
decreased by $162,000 compared to the same period last year. Capacitor
volumes caused a decrease of $204,000, or 22%, compared to the first six
months of last year. Foreign currency fluctuations accounted for a $42,000
increase in reported sales of capacitors.

     Revenues in the US controller business increased by 26%. This was
mainly due to increased demand in the aerial lift, other electric vehicle,
and mining markets, partially offset by decreased sales into the fork lift
truck market. Controller volumes in foreign markets grew by 3%, mainly due
to increased demand in the European aerial lift market partially offset by
lower demand in the Far East.

     Gross profit was 38.2% of sales in the first half of fiscal 2005
compared to 40.7% in 2004. Gross profit increased by $374,000 compared to
the first six months of last year. The positive impact of higher volumes was
partially offset by lower average margins in the US aerial lift market.
Foreign currency fluctuations increased reported gross profit by $15,000.
In the controller business gross profit increased by $454,000. This was
partially offset by a decrease in capacitor business gross profit of
$80,000, mainly due to lower volumes.

     Selling, research and administrative expenses were $5,663,000, an
increase of $522,000, or 10%, compared to the same period last year. In the
first six months of the current year engineering and R&D expense decreased by
$214,000 mainly due to lower engineering consulting expense partially offset
by additional internal resources as the new product range moves from the
development to customer prototype phase. Sales and marketing expenses were
$501,000 ahead of last year, mainly due to additional resource relating to
new products. Foreign currency fluctuations increased reported operating
expenses by $200,000, or 4%.

     Operating income for the first half year was $305,000, a decrease
of $148,000 compared to the first six months of last year. Foreign currency
fluctuations resulted in an $185,000 decrease in reported operating income.
Excluding the currency impact, operating income for the controller business
increased by $180,000, or 36%. The main causes of this increase in operating
income were higher volumes partially offset by increased selling general and
administrative expenses. In the capacitor business segment operating income
decreased by $114,000 to an operating loss of $20,000, mainly due to lower
volumes.

     Other expense was $10,000 compared to $109,000 in the first half of
last year, an improvement of $99,000. This was mainly due to foreign
currency gains in the current year compared to losses last year.

     Income before income taxes was $295,000 compared to $344,000 last
year, a decrease of $49,000. Income taxes were 35% of pre-tax income, in
line with the first half of last year. Net income was for the first half of
fiscal 2005 was $192,000, a decrease of $31,000 compared to the same period
last year. Basic and fully diluted income per share was $.06 per share
compared to $.07 per share in the first half of fiscal 2004.

Financial Condition

     The Company has, since January 1990, maintained a program of regular
cash dividends. The dividend for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was paid
on April 7, 2005, and amounted to $95,000. Cash balances at the end of
the second quarter of 2005 were $410,000 compared to $905,000 in September
2004, a decrease in cash of $495,000.

     In the first six months of fiscal 2005 net income was $192,000, and
operating activities used $214,000 of cash. There was an increase of
$347,000 in receivables due to higher volumes and foreign currency
fluctuations, partially offset by faster collections. The number of days
sales in receivables decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2005 from
70 days to 68 days.

     Inventories increased by $17,000 and prepaid expense and other current
assets increased by $433,000. Accounts payable decreased by $194,000.
Dividends paid in the first half of fiscal 2005 amounted to $189,000. Capital
expenditures were $258,000 offset by depreciation of $337,000.

     The Company has no long-term debt and has overdraft facilities in
the UK of approximately $2,079,000 and of $425,000 in France. The UK
overdraft facilities are secured by all of the Company's assets in the
UK and the French overdraft facilities are unsecured.

     Tech/Ops Sevcon's capital resources, in the opinion of management,
are adequate for projected operations and capital spending programs. Capital
spending programs are not expected to be significantly higher than
depreciation over the next two years and projected volume growth is not
expected to require significant additional cash resources.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

     The Company's operations are sensitive to a number of market factors
any one of which could materially adversely affect its results of
operations in any given year. Other risks dealing with contingencies are
described in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2004 and other risks are described under the caption Risk
Factors in Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations above.

Foreign currency risk

     The Company sells to customers throughout the industrialized world.
The majority of the Company's products are manufactured in the United
Kingdom. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 approximately 39% of the
Company's sales were made in US Dollars, 23% were made in British Pounds
and 38% were made in Euros. Over 90% of the Company's cost of sales was
incurred in British Pounds. This resulted in the Company's sales and
margins being exposed to fluctuations due to the change in the exchange
rates of the US Dollar, the British Pound and the Euro. The Company has
trade accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in both
British pounds and Euros which are exposed to exchange fluctuations.

     In addition, the translation of the sales and income of foreign
subsidiaries into US Dollars is also subject to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates.

     The Company undertakes hedging activities to manage the foreign
exchange exposures related to forecasted purchases and sales in foreign
currency and the associated foreign currency denominated receivables and
payables. The Company does not engage in speculative foreign exchange
transactions. Details of this hedging activity and the underlying exposures
are set out below.

     The following table provides information about the Company's foreign
currency accounts receivable, accounts payable, firmly committed sales
contracts and derivative financial instruments outstanding as of
April 2, 2005. The information is provided in US Dollar amounts, as
presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The table
presents the notional amount (at contract exchange rates) and the
weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rates. All
contracts mature in fiscal 2005.

     Because the difference between the spot and hedged foreign exchange
rates at April 2, 2005 was approximately 3%, and amounted to $70,000, the
risk of default by counterparties is not material to the Company.

Interest Rate Risk

     The Company does not currently have any interest bearing debt. The
Company does invest surplus funds in instruments with maturities of less
than 12 months at both fixed and floating interest rates. The Company
incurs short-term borrowings from time-to-time on its overdraft facilities
in Europe at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of the
Company's investments at April 2, 2005 the risk arising from changes in
interest rates was not material.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management,
with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our "disclosure
controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of April 2, 2005. Based on this evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded
that, as of April 2, 2005, these disclosure controls and procedures were
effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be
disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the requisite time periods.

(b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have identified no
change in our "internal control over financial reporting" (as defined in
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
