					PART I


ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

General

Sutron Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on
December 30, 1975 under the General Laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.  The Company designs, manufactures and markets
products and solutions that enable government and commercial
entities to monitor and collect hydrological and meteorological
data for the management of critical water resources, for early
warning of potentially disasterous floods or storms and
for the optimization of hydropower plants.

The Company's headquarters is located at 21300
Ridgetop Circle, Sterling, Virginia 20166, and the Company's
telephone number at that location is (703) 406-2800. The Company
maintains a worldwide web address at www.sutron.com. The Company
makes available free of charge through the Investors section
of the Company's website at www.verso.com the annual, quarterly
and current reports, and amendments thereto, which the Company
files with, or furnishes to, the SEC. Such reports and
amendments are available on the Company's website as soon as
reasonably practical after the Company has filed such reports
with, or furnished such reports to, the SEC.

Sutron is focused on providing real-time solutions and
services to our customers in three areas of the hydrological
and meteorological markets.  First, we provide real time data
dataloggers, satellite transmitters and sensors. Second,
we provide turnkey integrated systems for hydrological and
meteorological networks and airport weather systems.
Third, we provide services consisting of installation,
maintenance of hydrological and meteorological systems, and
other related engineering services.  The Companys customers
include a diversified base of federal, state, local and foreign
governments, engineering companies, universities, and hydropower
companies.

The Company's ongoing, strategic business units consist of the
Company's Hydromet Products Divison, the Integrated Systems
Division, the Hydrological Services Division and the Airport
Weather Systems division. Each unit includes a range of products
and services designed to meet the specific needs of a particular
customer segment.


Hydromet Products Division

The Hydromet Products Division manufactures data
loggers, satellite transmitters and sensors. Sutron's data loggers
collect sensor data and transmit the data to central facilities
primarily by satellite radio but also by telephone, fiber optics
or microwave. Sutron's sensors support the collection
of hydrological and meteorological data and include a tipping
bucket rain gauge, a barometric pressure sensor, a temperature
sensor, and several water level sensors. The Companys
equipment is compatible with sensors from other companies.
Sutron has long-standing relationships with suppliers for wind
speed and wind direction, water quality, humidity and solar
radiation sensors.  The Company received an ISO 9001
certification on March 12, 1999 and an ISO 9001:2000 certification
on August 13, 2003.  The principal products that are manufactured
by the Hydromet Products Division are described below.

                                     2

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


8210 Data Logger

The 8210 Data Logger/Transmitter is a simple-to-
operate, low-cost data collection platform which supports a
wide variety of telemetry applications.  The 8210 is
environmentally hardened, capable of operating from -40 C to 60
C, making it ideal for remote locations. As a data recorder,
the 8210 will store over 65,000 readings in battery backed
memory.  The 8210 supports a wide variety of communications,
including radio, satellite, and telephone.  The
Telephone/Voice Synthesis option allows communications over
standard telephone circuits using either a synthesized voice
message or a modem connected to a computer terminal.

Xpert and XLite Dataloggers

The Xpert Datalogger/controller is the Companys next generation datalogger.
It is built upon a  Microsoft CE operating system, has a 486
processor, C++ programming and standard 2 MB memory that is
expandable to over 1 gigabyte.   It enables the Company to enter closely
related environmental markets such as tides and weather monitoring.  The
XLite, a derived product based on the Xpert, does not have a display but
is similarly capable.  The XLite was  released at the end of 2001.

SatLink G312-1

The SatLink G312-1 is a high data rate satellite transmitter that
transmits at 100, 300 and 1200 baud, incorporates GPS and functions
as a logger. The unit was certified by NESDIS in July 2001 for operation
on the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES)system.
NESDIS operates two U.S.Government environmental satellites on this system.
All Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES)customers
are mandated by NESDIS to purchase high data rate satellite
transmitters and to replace all old 100 baud transmitters
within a ten-year period beginning in July 2001.  NESDIS made this a
requirement in order to increase the amount of data that the two
GOES satellites can handle. SatLink is also certified on satellite
systems in Europe and Asia and relays data from even the most
remote sensors and loggers to everywhere around the globe and
works with virtually all dataloggers. SatLink is programmable from
any PC using software provided with the unit.

SL2-G312-1

The Company invested heavily in the redesign of the SatLink transmitter
beginning in 2002 and continuing in 2003.  In January 2004, the
SL2-G312-1 Satellite Transmitter (SatLink2) was certified by NESDIS.
The SatLink2 is a redesign of the original SatLink transmitter in order
to improve our margins and to provide the latest features.  We believe
that the SatLink2 can beat competing high data rate transmitters in
price, features and performance.  We believe that the SatLink2 will
enable our Company to dominate the 100 bps GOES transmitter replacement
program and be more competitive in large national and global systems
such as the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program (COOP),
the World Meteorological Organization Global Climatological Observer
System GCOS program and large projects in India and Venezuela.

Accubar Gauge Pressure Sensor

The Accubar Gauge Pressure sensor is a highly accurate solid state
pressure transducer capable of measuring air/dry gas pressures
from 0 to 22 psi with a maximum pressure of 35 psi.  It is housed
in an aluminum case and with its low power consumption and low
maintenance requirements, it is ideal for remote monitoring
applications.

AccuBubble Self-Contained Bubbler System

The AccuBubble Self-Contained Bubbler is a mercury-free and
nitrogen-free bubbler apparatus designed for low maintenance
water level measuring. Using the Sutron Accubar Pressure Sensor
as the control and sensing element makes the AccuBubble a very
stable and highly accurate water level measuring device.
The AccuBubble uses power conservation techniques to minimize
current consumption. The bubbler purges the orifice line prior to
each measurement. This eliminates the need for a constant bubble rate,
which has been known to consume excessive power. In addition, the
purging sequence prevents debris build up in the orifice line.
The AccuBubble uses an oil-less, non-lubricated piston and cylinder
compressor. This type of compressor is designed to give consistent
air delivery without the use of a diaphragm which can rupture over time.
The AccuBubble uses the SDI-12 communications protocol as the control
interface. This allows the unit to be configured by any data loggers
supporting the SDI-12 standard.

Tides and Ports Systems

The National Ocean Survey (NOS), part of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has the responsibility to accurately
measure tide levels around the perimeter of the United States. NOS ensures
that measurements are the most accurate possible by using the best water
level instruments available. In 2003 and 2002 our Hydromet Products Division
provided state-of-the-art tide stations to the National Ocean Survey
valued at $637,000 and $471,000.  Sutron tide stations are based on our Xpert
data logger. Xperts run the powerful Windows CE multi-tasking operating
system. Sutron has taken advantage of Windows CE to equip each tide station
with software that meets and exceeds all of the NOS requirements.

                                     3

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


Integrated Systems Division

The Integrated Systems Division provides system integration services
consisting of the design and development of customer-specific hardware
configurations and software applications for hydrological and
meteorological monitoring and control systems, the sale of Sutrons
real-time database software (XConnect), and long-term software
support for XConnect users.  This capability allows the Company
to provide turnkey hydrological and meteorological systems to
a variety of users.  Projects range in size from one station to hundreds
of stations.  Projects usually require design, equipment integration,
software application development and installation and training on both
hardware and software.  Projects can range in duration from a few days
to twelve months depending on the scope and complexity of the system.

Hydrological Services Division

The Company provides hydrological services which include provides data
interpretation and analysis services, flow modeling (low flow, rainfall
runoff, unsteady flow routing, water surface profiles), field studies
(time of travel, diffusion, dispersion, calibration of flow control
structures, site location), hydrologic studies (water budget,
regression analysis, basin inventory studies) and environmental
permitting and legal or expert witness.

Airport Weather Systems

The Airport Weather Systems Division was started in July 2003
with the hiring of a division manager with over 20 years experience
in the Automatic Weather Observation System (AWOS) market.
Monitoring of real-time weather data is crucial to flight safety.
Typically, an AWOS includes a sensor suite to measure wind direction
and speed, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and barometric
pressure as well as cloud height and horizontal visibility/RVR.  Sensors
are connected to a Sutron datalogger which processes the data, stores it
in a relational database and transmits real-time weather parameters to all
designated users, regardless of location.  The system produces weather
reports for aviation and meteorological use, virtually automatically and
without need of human intervention. Sutron is leveraging its
experience with sensors and data collection to enter this market.

Distribution Methods of Products and Services

The Companys products and services are currently sold in the
United States by the Companys direct sales force.  As of
December 31, 2003, the Company employed seven salaried sales and
marketing personnel, including four engaged directly in field
sales activities, and three in various other marketing and sales
support functions.  Internationally, the Company utilizes
agents to sell its products and services.

                                     4

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


Customers

During 2003, approximately 45% of the Companys products and
services were sold to the Federal Government.  Revenues in 2003
among the various agencies were as follows: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, 9%; Department of the Interior, 28%; Department of
Commerce, 7% and various other agencies of the federal
government, 1%.  The revenues from the Corps of Engineers
were spread among some ten (10)  separate Districts, and the
revenues from the Department of the Interior among two (2)
agencies, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation.

The Company also performed on various contracts of foreign
origin.  Total revenues from foreign customers amounted to
approximately 28% of total revenues in 2003, 29% of total
revenues in 2002 and 12% in 2001. Sutron actively markets
its products and services internationally.

Contracts for products or services with federal, state and
local government agencies typically allow for termination at
the convenience of the government and for audit and annual
negotiation of overhead rates.  Upon termination, the Company
would be entitled to reimbursement for allowable costs incurred
and to a proportionate share of profits or fees earned to the
date of termination.  Such contracts are also typically
dependent upon compliance by the contractor with applicable
civil rights, equal employment opportunity, and contract
procurement requirements.

The Company at this time has no reason to believe that any
material changes will occur in the
foreseeable future with respect to federal, state, or local
government programs or services with respect to which the
Company has been granted its contracts or provides its
services.  However, due to changes in administration, national
goals and budgetary restrictions, funding of such programs or
services could be altered or abolished.  If a substantial cut-
back in the level of funding by the applicable government
agency were to occur, it would have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

Competition

The Company is aware of both domestic and foreign competitors
offering complete real-time networks of their own and
companies which fabricate real-time networks from components
manufactured by themselves and others. The Company is also
aware of numerous additional firms, ranging in size from large
to small, from general to highly specialized, and from new to
well established, offering competitive dataloggers, high data
rate satellite transmitters, sensors and other instruments
and software.

Several of these companies have financial, research and
development, marketing, management and technical resources
substantially greater than those of the Company.  The Company
may also be at a competitive disadvantage because it purchases
certain sensors and other equipment components, as well as
computer hardware and peripheral equipment, from manufacturers
who are or may become competitors with respect to one or more
of the Companys products.

The Company, with respect to its professional engineering and
technical services, is in competition with numerous diverse
engineering and consulting firms, many of which have larger
staffs and facilities, and are better known, have greater
financial resources, and have more experience than the Company.
As to its hydrological services, the Company is aware that many
firms offer maintenance services; some of these companies have
larger staffs, are better equipped, and have greater financial,
marketing and management resources than the Company.

Price, performance and experience are believed by
the Company to be the primary competitive factors with respect
to all of its products and services.

                                     5

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


Research and Development

During the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001,
Sutron's internally funded research and development costs were
$1,065,558, $1,480,706 and $1,434,129 respectively.

The Company invested heavily in the redesign of the SatLink transmitter
beginning in 2002 and continuing in 2003.  In January 2004, the
SL2-G312-1 Satellite Transmitter (SatLink2) was certified by the
National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service NESDIS.
The SatLink2 is a redesign of the original SatLink transmitter in order
to improve our margins and to provide the latest features.  It is not
only a satellite transmitter but also has logging capability which
is attractive to customers who have limited logging requirements and
therefore avoids the purchase of a separate datalogger.

In 2002, the company released the logger version of the SatLink
and developed tidal monitoring applications based on the Xpert and
XLite products that were instrumental in winning orders from the
National Ocean Survey for tides systems.  The Company released
the Xpert and XLite dataloggers in 2001.

In 2002, the Company released XConnect, a base station software
application that is compatible with leading database software
including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.  The Company
added enhancements to XConnect's reporting features in 2003
incorporating Crystal reports.

Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Agreements

Although the Company does not deem patent protection to be of
significant importance to its industry, it has and may in the
future seek patents for certain of its products, real-time
networks, and technology as well as Company software products,
real-time networks, and technology.  Company software products
and innovations may not be patentable but may be subject to
automatic but limited copyright protection.  The Company has
 treated its products, real-time networks, technology and
software as proprietary and relies on trade secret laws and
internal non-disclosure safeguards rather than making their
designs and processes generally available to the public by
applying for patents.  Further, the Company believes that,
because of the rapid pace of technological change in the
computer, electronics and telecommunications industries, patent
and copyright protection is of less significance than factors
such as the knowledge and experience of Company personnel and
their ability to design and develop enhanced and new products,
real-time networks and their components.

Raw Materials

The raw materials used by the Company, such as electronic
components and fabricated parts, are generally available from a
wide variety of sources at competitive prices. The Company does
not anticipate that its present or proposed business activities
would be substantially adversely affected by the scarcity of
any raw materials.

Backlog

The Companys backlog at December 31, 2003 was $4,350,688 as
compared with $2,784,499 at December 31, 2002.  The Company
anticipates that 84% of its 2003 year-end backlog will be
shipped in 2004.

Employees

The Company had a total of 57 employees as of December 31,
2003 of which 56 were full time.

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


ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

On July 30, 1992, the Company entered into a five and one-half
year lease, for approximately 17,000 square feet of
manufacturing and office space in Sterling, Virginia.  The
lease commenced on October 23, 1992.  This facility allowed the
Company to consolidate it's manufacturing, systems integration,
research and development, and sales and administration
departments into one building.  An option for an additional five
years was exercised in 1997.  An option for an additional
three years was exercised in November 2002.  The lease will
expire in March 2006.

In July, 1999, the Company leased additional space of approximately
7,000 square feet in Sterling, Virginia.  Two departments, integrated
systems and research and development were relocated to the new space
during fiscal year 2000 in order to provide increased production and
warehouse space at the corporate headquarters. The lease expires in
March 2003 and has been renewed for three more years and will expire
in March 2006.

The Company entered into a lease agreement in October 2002 for
approximately 3800 square feet of office and warehouse space in West
Palm Beach, Florida. The four year lease expires in October 2006. The
Hydrological Services division will use this space which consists of
both office and warehouse space.

The Company entered into a  lease agreement for approximately 1500
square feet of office space in Brandon, Florida.  The five-year lease,
expires in December 2008.  The Hydrological Services division will
use this space for offices.

The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its
present needs and that its properties are in good condition,
well maintained and adequately insured.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation with
customers, vendors, suppliers and others in the ordinary course
of business, and a number of such claims may exist at any given time.
All such existing proceedings are not expected to have a material
adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition. The Company is a party to the proceedings discussed below.

In 2003, the Company filed a claim with the Advance Tax Court
of India seeking a ruling on a decision by the Government of
Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) of India to assess a 48% income tax on the
Company's contract of approximately $1,606,000.  The GoAP believes
that the Company has established a branch office in India and is
therefore subject to Indian income tax.  Although the Company did
file an application for branch office status and received approval
to open a branch office, the Company did not complete the
registration and approval process with the Government of India
and has not opened a branch office in India.  The income tax
amount that is at issue is approximatly $770,000.

The Advance Tax Court of India will hear the case in April 2004.
In the event that the Advance Tax Court rules in the Company's
favor, GoAP must immediately remit all amounts due including
interest.  The Company will not immediately receive the entire
amount of $770,000 due to the system having not completed final
acceptance which is anticipated by mid-2004.  The balance that
the Company would receive immediatly would be approximately
$23,000.  In the event that the Company does not receive a
favorable ruling from the Adance Court, the income tax
withheld by GoAP would be used as an income tax credit on the
Company's 2004 income tax return.

Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002

Results of Operations

The Companys revenues in 2003 increased 8% to $11 million from $10.2 million
in 2002. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of standard products
consisting primarily of dataloggers, SatLink transmitters and sensors,
systems and software that are done on a project specific basis, hydrological and
engineering services and airport weather systems.

Revenues from sales to domestic customers increased in 2003 to $7.9 million from
$7.25 million in 2002, an increase of 8.7%. Standard products sales increased
slightly to $5.65 million in 2003 from $5.6 million in 2002. Revenues from
integrated systems and software were down $256 thousand to $1.3 million from
$1.56 million.  Revenues for hydrological services increased to $992 thousand
from $110 thousand in 2002 due to the expansion of operations in Florida and
winning five major multi-year contracts in 2002 and 2003 with the South Florida
Water Management District.

Revenues from international sales increased slightly to $3.1 million in 2003
from $2.95 million in 2002.  Standard products decreased to $944 thousand
in 2003 from $1.3 million in 2002 due to decreased sales from China. Revenues
from integrated systems and software were up $400 thousand to $2.0 million from
$1.6 million due to several large projects including a $499 thousand
project to provide a rainfall measuring system to the government of Morocco, a
$730 thousand World Meteorological project to provide airport meteorological
systems to 13 small island states in the Caribbean and a $446 thousand standard
product order from a hydropower company in Venezuela. The Company sold its first
airport weather system in 2003 and realized revenue of $71,000.

The Companys largest customer in 2003 and 2002 was the Department
of the Interior, the principal agencies being the US Geological Survey and the
Bureau of Reclamation, which accounted for 28% and 26% of revenues.
Commercial and international revenues represented 55% of revenues in 2003 versus
48% in 2002.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 2003 decreased 2.7% to $3.36 million from $3.45 million
in 2002. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for 2002 decreased to
30.5% as compared to 33.8% in 2002. Increased sales of SatLink
transmitters caused a decrease in the Companys margins.  The Companys
new SatLink transmitter, the SL2-G312-1, was certified in January 2004
and will significantly improve future margins due to fewer parts
and improved manufacturability.  The Companys margins were also
impacted by three projects that were awarded in 2002.  Two projects
were with the Government of Andhra Pradesh of India and one project
was with the Meteorological Service of Mexico.  All three projects were
bid very competitively.  The company completed the Mexico project in
2003. The Government of Andhra Pradesh projects are near completion.
The Company anticipates that these projects will be completed in mid
2004.  The Companys gross margin is dependent on product and system
costs, product mix and overhead expenses, all of which fluctuate from
year to year.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were level at $2.2 million
in 2003
and 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 20.8% in 2003 from 21.8% in 2002 due primarily to
the increase in sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 28% to $1.06 million in
2003 from $1.48 million in 2002.  Research and development expenses
as a percentage of revenues decreased to 9.7% in 2003 from 14.5% in
2002.  The primary reason for the decrease  was the completion of
Xconnect systems software.  Upon its completion in late 2002, the
Company transferred several software engineers into direct departments
in order to provide customers with systems and   application development
services.

In 2003, the Companys product development focus was on the design and
certification of the SatLink2 in order to enhance the product and
improve margins.  The SatLink2 is a high data rate satellite
transmitter that transmits at 100, 300 and 1200 baud,
incorporates GPS and functions as a logger as well.  All GOES
satellite customers are mandated by NESDIS to purchase high data rate
satellite transmitters and to replace all old 100 baud transmitters
within a ten-year period effective July 2001.  The Company
believes that the SatLink2 will allow it to dominate the replacement
market.

In 2003, the Company continued its development efforts relating to
tidal monitoring  applications by introducing enhancements to its
tides monitoring systems.  The tides systems are based on the
Xpert and XLite dataloggers and use the SatLink transmitter.
The Company won orders totaling $663 thousand in 2003 and  $450
thousand in 2002 for tides systems.  The Company also completed
the development of an analog expansion module in 2003.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income and expenses consisted of interest expenses of $30
thousand in 2003 compared with $47 thousand in 2002.

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



Fiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001

Results of Operations

The Companys revenues decreased .5% to $10.2 million from
$10.25 million in 2001.

Revenues from sales to domestic customers decreased in 2002 to $7.25
million from  $9.05 million  in 2001, a decrease of 19.5%.  Export
sales increased to $2.95 million in 2002 from $1.2 million in 2001.
The Company was awarded major international projects in India, China
and Mexico in 2002.  The company also made shipments of approximately
$548,000 to customers in Canada in 2002.

Datalogger/Transmitter product sales decreased 27% to $3.6 million in
2002 from $4.95 million in 2001.  The decrease was due to weak customer
demand as a result of operational problems with the NOAA/NESDIS GOES
satellite receiving facility and our customers not being able to
obtain satellite station assignments from NESDIS.  Systems sales and
services increased 39% to $3.2 million in 2002 from $2.3 million
reflecting the increase in international projects.  Sales of sensor
and accessory products increased 14% to $3.3 million from $2.9 million.
Hydrological services revenues were approximately $100,000 in both
years.

The Companys largest customers in each of years 2002 and 2001 was
Department of the Interior, the principal agencies being the
US Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation, which accounted
for 26% and 39% of revenues, respectively.  Commercial and international
revenues represented 48% of revenues in 2002 versus 44% in 2001.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 2002 decreased 9% to $3.45 million from $3.8 million
in 2001.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for 2002 decreased
to 33.8% as compared to 37.2% in 2001.  The decrease in gross margin in
2002 is a result of write-offs of obsolete inventory totaling $180,000
and manufacturing problems relating to the SatLink-G312-1 High Data Rate
satellite transmitter.  The Company switched suppliers in mid 2002 in
order to lower costs and improve efficiency of manufacturing the
SatLink-G312-1.  The Company began to see improved results in late 2002
The Companys gross margin is dependent on product costs, product mix
and overhead expenses, all of which fluctuate from year to year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $2.2
million in 2002 from $2.3 million in 2001.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 21.8%
in 2002 from 22.7% in 2001 due primarily to a reduction in marketing
expenditures and the reduction of one sale position.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 3% to $1.48 million in
2002 from $1.43 million in 2001.  Research and development expenses
as a percentage of revenues increased to 14.5% in 2002 from 14% in 2001.
In 2002, the company released a logger version of the SatLink-G312-1.
The SatLink-G312-1 is a high data rate satellite transmitter that
transmits at 100, 300 and 1200 baud and uses GPS. The logger version
has added the capability to the SatLink unit to function as a logger
for certain datalogging applications. Our GOES satellite customers
are mandated by NESDIS to purchase high data rate satellite transmitters
and to replace all old 100 baud transmitters within a ten-year period
effective July 2001.

The Company released the Xpert and XLite
dataloggers in 2001.  These dataloggers use Microsoft CE as the
operating system and have enabled the Company to enter closely related
environmental markets such as tides and weather monitoring.  The XLite,
a derived product based on the Xpert, has less I/O capability but is
less expensive as well.  The Companys development efforts in 2002
were focused primarily on developing tidal monitoring applications
based on these products that were instrumental in winning orders
in 2002 of approximately  $471,000 from the National Ocean Survey
for tides systems.

In 2002, the Company released XConnect, a base
station software application that is compatible with leading database
software including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.  The Company
anticipates significant revenues in 2003 as customers upgrade their
systems software from PC Base II to XConnect.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income and expenses consisted of interest expenses of $47
thousand in 2002 compared with $69 thousand in 2001 .

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sutron Corporation
Sterling, Virginia


	We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sutron
Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

	We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits 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 financial position
of Sutron Corporationas of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SUTRON CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business
Sutron Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated
 on December 30, 1975 under the General Laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.  The Company designs,
manufactures and markets hydrological and
meteorological monitoring and control products and
systems.  The Companys products consist primarily
of dataloggers, satellite transmitters and sensors.
The Company provides turnkey integrated systems
including systems software that are done on a
project specific basis, hydrological and
engineering services and airport weather systems
solutions. The Companys customers include a diversified
base of Federal, state, local and foreign governments,
universities, engineering firms and hydropower companies.

Revenue Recognition
The Company utilizes the accrual method of
accounting for both financial statement and tax
 return reporting purposes.  The Company recognizes
 revenue from product sales upon shipment.  Selling,
 general, and administrative expenses are charged
 against periodic income as incurred.  Revenue
from cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the
 extent of costs incurred, plus a proportionate
 amount of fees earned.  Revenue from fixed-price
 contracts is recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method based on costs
incurred in relation to total estimated costs.
 Revenue from time-and-materials contracts is
recognized to the extent of billable rates, times
hours delivered, plus materials costs incurred.
Contract costs include allocated indirect costs
and general and administrative expenses.
Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as
they become known.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash
equivalents include time deposits and all highly liquid
debt instruments with original maturities of three months
or less.  Interest paid amounted to $29,778, $48,936 and
$75,815 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Income
taxes paid amounted to $0 in 2003 and 2002, and
$50,000 in 2001.

The Company has entered into certain international
contracts that require provision of letters of guarantee
to the customer until acceptance of the system by the
customer.  Standby irrevocable letters of credit were
issued by the Companys previous bank that do not expire
until March 2005.  As of December 31, 2003, $277,454 of
the cash and cash equivalents balance is restricted and
is held as security by M&T Bank for these standby letters
of credit.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over
 estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years
using the straight-line method for financial statement
purposes and the straight-line and accelerated methods
 for income tax purposes.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and improvements
 which do not materially extend the useful lives of
the assets are charged to earnings.  When items of
property, plant, and equipment are disposed of, the
 cost of the asset and the related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts.  Any
gain or loss resulting from the removal from service
is taken into the current period earnings.

                                    F-7
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach
to accounting for income taxes.  The objective is to
recognize the amount of income taxes payable or
refundable in the current year based on the Companys
income tax return and the deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in the Companys
financial statements or tax returns.
The assets and liability method accounts for deferred
income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates to
temporary differences, the difference between
financial statement amounts and tax bases of assets
and liabilities.  The resulting deferred tax
liabilities or assets are classified as current or
noncurrent based on the classification of the
related asset or liability.  Deferred income tax
liabilities or assets are adjusted to reflect
changes in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment.

Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses and short term notes receivable approximate
their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Based on the borrowing rates currently available to
the Company for debt with similar maturity dates and
collateral, the estimated fair value of long-term debt
is $100,000 and $116,000 at December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that
 affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period.  Actual results could vary
from the estimates that were used.

Capital
The Company has 12,000,000, $.01 par value, shares
authorized.  There were 4,289,551 shares issued and
outstanding at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
The Companys Board of Directors has authorized the
repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of its common
stock in open market transactions.  As of
December 31, 2003, 13,800 shares have been repurchased.

Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 which establishes
 standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held
common stock.  The standard requires presentation
of two categories of earnings per share, basic EPS
 and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and
 is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number
 of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue
 common stock were exercised or converted into
 common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings
of the Company.  Contracts to issue common
stock which are antidilutive in nature are not
included in the earnings per share calculations.
Shares used in the computations for the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are as
follows (in thousands):




							Years Ended December 31,
	     					2003  		2002		     	2001

The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
and will continue to apply Accounting Principles
Board Statement No. 25 and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee compensation plans.
SFAS 123 establishes standards of financial
accounting and reporting for stock-based employee
compensation plans including stock option plans,
stock purchase plans and other arrangements by
which employees receive shares of stock or other
equity instruments based on the market price of
an entitys stock.

The fair value of Sutron Corporation stock options used to
compute pro forma net income and earnings per share
disclosures is the estimated present value at grant date
using the Black Scholes pricing model and the with the
following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 5.0
percent, no estimated dividend yield, an expected
volatility of 30 percent and an expected holding
period of five years.

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation
cost for the plan based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards under those plans, consistent
with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net
income and earnings per share would have been
changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:




	   			2003		2002		2001
								
Net income
As reported			$  95 	$ (110)	$ 61
Pro forma			   88         (154)       59
Earnings per share
As reported			$ .02  	$(.03)	$ .01
Pro forma			$ .02 	$(.04)	$ .01
