Transpro, Inc. Reports Revised 2003 Second Quarter Results; Adjustments Increase 2003 Second Quarter And Year-To-Date Loss Per Share by $0.01

NEW HAVEN, Conn.--Aug. 5, 2003--Transpro, Inc. today reported revised results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 from that previously reported in the Company's press release dated July 30, 2003. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements that will be included in Transpro's Form 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission will reflect a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, as was originally reported on July 30. The revision is due to a clerical error in the calculation of the allowance for returned goods and resulted in an understatement of costs of goods sold and an overstatement of inventories. The revision increased the Company's cost of sales and operating loss by $430,000 and decreased the Company's net inventories by $430,000 versus results reported previously. The revision also had an effect on the tax benefit in the Statements of Operations and on the income tax balance sheet account. In addition, the expected year-end effective tax rate was changed, as a result of the revision.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.70 per diluted share versus a net loss of $0.69 per diluted share, as originally reported.

There was no cash flow impact resulting from this revision. In addition, the revision does not change the Company's guidance for the 2003 second half or full-year periods.

The Company's Form 10-Q will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 13, 2003, and will be accessible at Transpro's website: www.transpro.com.
