Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 10, 2004, the Company completed the merger of Owosso Corporation (OTCBB: OWOS), located in Watertown, New York, with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 10, 2004. The sole operating subsidiary acquired is Stature Electric, Inc. The merger consideration of $14 million consisted of the issuance of 532,205 shares of Allied Motion common stock representing approximately 9.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company after the merger, $1 million of cash payable to Owosso's preferred shareholders, and approximately $10.6 million of cash to settle the remainder of Owosso's debt and liabilities at closing. Additional subordinated notes for up to $500,000 may be issued by Allied Motion effective January 1, 2005 payable over five years if Stature achieves certain revenue levels in 2004. In addition, warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Company common stock at $4.41 per share will be issued to Owosso's preferred shareholders. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 that became effective on March 29, 2004 related to the common stock of the Company issued in connection with the acquisition. The Company has received a commitment from PNC Business Credit and Silicon Valley Bank for up to $18.1 million for the acquisition and for working capital needs.

Stature Electric, Inc., Owosso's sole operating subsidiary, manufactures fractional and integral horsepower motors, gear motors, and motor part sets. Significant markets for Stature include medical/healthcare, non-automotive transportation, industrial automation, material handling, and manufacturing machinery. Stature's products are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturers throughout North America and in Europe.

Item 7. Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

Required financial statements will be filed on or before July 15, 2004.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are presented to show the combination of Allied Motion and Owosso as if they had been combined for the year ended December 31, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are based on the assumptions set forth in the related notes and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements of Allied Motion and Owosso and related notes thereto.

Allied Motion's most recent fiscal year end was December 31, 2003, while Owosso's most recent fiscal year end was October 26, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes Allied Motion for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Owosso for the year ended October 26, 2003 with pro forma adjustments for acquisition debt and allocation of purchase price. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is presented as if the acquisition of Owosso had occurred on December 31, 2003 and combines Allied Motion's balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 with Owosso's balance sheet as of February 1, 2004, the date of Owosso's most recently completed fiscal quarter.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements give effect to:

THIS IS THE END OF A COMPOSITION COMPONENT TOC_END

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141), the acquisition of Owosso will be recorded as a purchase for accounting purposes. The preliminary adjustments to net assets and goodwill which are shown in these unaudited condensed combined consolidated pro forma financial statements are based upon Allied Motion's current estimates. Allied Motion is in the process of obtaining valuations for inventory, property, plant and equipment and intangibles related to trade name and customer lists which could modify the amounts to be recorded as part of the acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect adjustments for anticipated operating efficiencies that the Company expects to achieve as a result of this acquisition. The pro forma adjustments also do not give effect to the pro rata effect of the issuance of up to an additional $500,000 of subordinated promissory notes if Owosso's revenues for the year ending December 31, 2004 are between $18,370,000 and $19,600,000.

The historical and pro forma loss from continuing operations for Owosso included in these pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes an impairment of goodwill for Owosso in the amount of $5,331,000.

The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company's results would actually have been had these transactions actually occurred on the dates presented or to project the combined company's results of operations or financial position for any future period.

ALLIED MOTION TECHNOLOGIES INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect the acquisition of 100% of the common and preferred stock of Owosso Corporation (Owosso) by Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (Allied Motion).

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 assumes that the acquisition of Owosso occurred as of January 1, 2003. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 assumes that the acquisition of Owosso occurred on December 31, 2003.

The purchase price for the acquisition of Owosso was $15,278,000 which included assumed debt of $10,148,000, Allied Motion common stock issued of $2,405,000, warrants issued to purchase Allied Motion common stock valued at $725,000, $1,000,000 in cash for all of Owosso's preferred stock and $1,000,000 in closing costs. The valuation of the warrants to be issued is preliminary and based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. Allied Motion intends to engage an independent third party to value these warrants. This independent valuation could significantly change the final value placed on these warrants. In addition, all Owosso stock options will be vested and cashed out, but because of the current exercise prices, the cash to be paid out is not significant.

Note 2—Pro Forma Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect the following pro forma adjustments:
