                     Allied Motion Reports Continued Profit
                       Improvement for the Second Quarter


    DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2004--Allied Motion Technologies Inc.
(Nasdaq:AMOT) today announced it continued to achieve a significant improvement
in sales and profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same
period last year.
    The Company achieved net income for the second quarter of $608,000 or $.10
per diluted share compared to net income of $302,000 or $.06 per diluted share
for the same period last year. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2004
increased 55% to $15,104,000 compared to $9,736,000 last year. This quarter
includes the results from Stature Electric, Inc., a subsidiary that was acquired
on May 10, 2004 in connection with the Owosso Corporation merger. Revenues from
existing businesses, excluding Stature's revenues, increased 29% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2004 over the same period last year. Backlog at June 30, 2004 was
$22,023,000.
    During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company achieved net income
of $1,035,000 or $.18 per diluted share compared to net income of $153,000 or
$.03 per diluted share for the same six months last year. Revenues for the first
six months this year increased 39% to $26,352,000 compared to $18,912,000 for
the same period last year. Revenues from existing businesses increased 26% for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 over the same period last year.
    "We are quite pleased with the results for the first half of the year,"
commented Dick Smith, CEO of Allied Motion. "Our acquisition of Owosso
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stature Electric, Inc. has been
completed, furthering our expansion into the motion control industry. During the
first half of 2004, we saw a strengthening in many of our markets which has been
helped by the improving economy. In addition, the expanded efforts of our sales
and marketing organization are also contributing to our sales growth. We
continue to achieve improved results as compared to the same period of the prior
year, including improved margins resulting from increased operating efficiencies
and reduced costs. Although we are pleased with the results this year to date,
we will continue to strive for the constant improvement in our operations that
will be necessary for us to achieve our long-term goals for growth in sales and
profitability, as well as to facilitate our continued expansion into the motion
control industry."
    Dick Warzala, President of Allied Motion, added, "During the first six
months of 2004, we experienced a significant sales increase while we continued
to focus on enhancing our engineering resources and to drive internal cost
reductions to improve our bottom line. Order input was strong for the first half
of 2004 and backlog at June 30, 2004 is up 21% over the same time last year, on
a pro forma basis including backlog for Stature Electric at both dates. Upon
closing the Owosso merger, we immediately updated our corporate strategy with an
increased emphasis on leveraging our technology base and began implementing
Allied's Systematic Tools (AST) at Stature Electric. The continuing
implementation of AST within all of our operations provides the foundation to
improve our internal operations, while our emphasis on reducing product costs
through strategic sourcing and product re-design efforts will improve our cost
effectiveness and further enhance our ability to win new business and fuel our
internal growth engine in the future."

    Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Allied Motion designs, manufactures and
sells motion control products into applications that serve many industry
sectors. Allied Motion is a leading supplier of precision and specialty motion
control components and systems to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the
world.
