Thermodynetics Reports a Continuation of Solid Business Levels

WINDSOR, Conn.--Aug. 1, 20035, 2003--Thermodynetics, Inc. (OTCBB:TDYN), announced that net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $3.0 million. This year's first quarter sales continued the seasonal trend of recent years where certain markets (led by residential water source heat pump applications) have strong requirements for products in the spring months in order to meet inventory stocking requirements for the primary building season. This core business, spurred by new housing starts in many regions of the US, continues to grow. Other markets, notably boiler tubing applications, commercial ice machines and swimming pool heat pumps, also exhibited strong sales during the first fiscal quarter.

Gross profit margins improved significantly in the current period versus the same period last year (30% vs. 26% of net sales). The current product mix featuring coaxial coil applications with higher engineering and value added content, generated higher contribution margins and more efficient absorption of manufacturing costs. In addition, more favorable pricing from certain large suppliers reduced the cost of materials.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $107,000 year to year. Sales application engineering, customer support and quality engineering functions were filled during the later stages of the 2003 fiscal year. Further additions to the marketing and engineering staff are planned.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $204,000 or 7% of net sales as compared to $150,000 or 5% of net sales for the prior year period. First quarter earnings per share were $.01 for both years computed on both a basic and fully diluted basis.

In August 2003 the Company purchased Vulcan Industries, a manufacturer of fabricated metal tubing products serving the automotive, furniture and appliance industries. The purchase was financed with a combination of cash, term and revolving debt from the Company's primary lender and notes payable to the selling shareholders. It is anticipated that the positive operational contributions of Vulcan will begin to be reflected during the next fiscal year beginning April 2004.
