     GAINS FROM DIVESTITURE RESULT IN PROFITABLE YEAR FOR LYNCH CORPORATION

PROVIDENCE, R.I., March 27, 2003 -- Lynch Corporation (ASE:LGL) today announced
net income for 2002 of $17,963,000 versus a net loss of $22,938,000 in 2001. The
profit in 2002 is attributable to non-cash gains and income tax refunds
resulting from the divestiture of the company's remaining interest in Spinnaker
Industries, Inc., said Raymond Keller, vice president and chief financial
officer. Income per share was a positive $11.99 versus a per-share loss of
$15.24 in 2001.

      Excluding the gain on disposing of Spinnaker's shares and related tax
benefits, Lynch Corporation would have lost $2,317,000, or $1.55 per share, for
2002.

      Sales in 2002 were $26,386,000 for 2002, after the Spinnaker divestiture,
down 81 percent from sales of $141,073,000 in 2001, which included Spinnaker.
Shares outstanding at year end in 2002 were 1,497,900, the same as year-end
2001.

      "Although 2002 was a difficult and challenging year, we continued to
invest in product development, penetration of new markets, and modernization of
our manufacturing systems," said Ralph R. Papitto, chairman and chief executive
officer. "As a result, we are confident that we are well positioned to take
advantage of increasing customer demand as our markets recover."

      Papitto pointed to the acquisition of assets of Champion Technologies,
Inc., Franklin Park, Ill., by subsidiary M-tron Industries, Inc., Yankton, S.D.
M-tron designs and manufactures customized electronic components used primarily
to control the frequency or timing of electronic signals in communications
systems, and is expanding into military and industrial-instrumentation markets.

      The Champion line of crystals, clock oscillators, specialized crystal
oscillators, and timing modules complements existing M-tron lines and provides
an entry to new markets. These modules enable M-tron to offer the added value of
pre-engineered timing subsystems that reduce customers' spending on engineering
and speed their time-to-market.

      As part of the acquisition, Lynch also acquired modern manufacturing
equipment that has been transferred to M-tron's South Dakota operations. In
addition, M-tron brought engineering and production managers on board from
Champion, as well as sales representation in the European Union. This
acquisition is an important reason that M-tron's year-end backlog of $2,340,000
is 65 percent ahead of last year, Papitto said.

      In 2002, Lynch Systems, Bainbridge, Ga., the company's other operating
subsidiary, consolidated a joint venture in Germany, AMAV, L.L.C., into its U.S.
facility. AMAV's founder and inventor of its electronic servo-drive systems
moved to the U.S, bringing AMAV's products, designs, and technologies.

      Internal R&D enabled Lynch Systems to introduce several new products in
2002, including servo linear-motion feeders and shears, servo ring-gear drive
retrofits, and low-cost forming equipment for the tableware market.

      "We are confident that we have the world's leading design and
manufacturing capability for electronic display tubes and screens, and for
consumer glass products," Papitto said. "As we enter 2003, we are preparing bids
on significant contracts in both these sectors."

      Lynch Systems has installed more glass-making machines in tableware
manufacturing plants worldwide than any other company, and is the world's
largest independent manufacturer of TV glass presses. These presses are used to
mass-produce television and computer-monitor glass in screen sizes form 14
inches to 42 inches diagonal.

      Sales for Lynch Corporation for the fourth quarter of 2002 were
$4,652,000, down 54 percent from $10,190,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net
loss for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $904,000, or 60(cent) per share, versus
a net loss of $1,277,000, or 85(cent) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2001.
Shares outstanding were 1,497,900 at the end of the fourth quarter of both 2002
and 2001.

      "The Spinnaker divestiture was a highly positive move because this unit
was a failing business that has filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the
bankruptcy code," Papitto said. "The divestiture relieved Lynch Corporation of
Spinnaker's debt burden and enables senior management to focus on the remaining
businesses, which we consider to be strong and viable. The divestiture has,
however, made current and recent year-to-year comparisons of revenue, profit,
and loss not meaningful. Going forward, that is no longer true."

      The Spinnaker divestiture began on September 30, 2001, when Lynch
Corporation deconsolidated the unit by reducing its voting control to below 50
percent via a transfer of a small number of shares to a not-for-profit
organization. Then, in September of 2002, Lynch

Corporation sold all its remaining shareholdings in Spinnaker, which were
essentially worthless, to an independent, international brokerage firm in New
York City.

      The end result was that Lynch Corporation recorded a $19,420,000 non-cash
gain and an income tax benefit of $860,400 for 2002, resulting from a capital
loss carry-back on its investment in Spinnaker. This action was the major
contributor to the change in Lynch Corporation's total shareholders equity to
$10,934,000 on December 31, 2002, from a deficit of $7,451,000 on December 31,
2001.

      Lynch Corporation is listed on the American Stock Exchange under the
symbol LGL. For more information on the company, contact Raymond H. Keller, Vice
