On February 10, 2004 TVI Corporation issued the attached press release
in connection with the announcements of its fourth quarter 2003 earnings.
The information contained in this Item 12 and incorporated by reference
herein shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995:
Matters discussed in the attached press release contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Certain statements contained in this press release
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 199.15. These statements may be identified
by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as "should", "believes",
expects", "might result", and others. These forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance, as actual
results could differ materially from our current expectations. Such risks and
uncertainties include achieving order and sales levels to fulfill revenue
expectations; our ability to respond to changes in the counter-terrorism,
military, public safety, and first responder communities; adverse changes in
governmental regulations; expected costs or charges, certain of which may be
outside the control of the Company; the time and costs involved in the marketing
and promotion for our products; the possible cancellation of orders for our
products; general economic and business conditions; and competitive factors in
our markets and industry generally. Numerous other factors could cause or
contribute to such differences, including, but not limited to, those set forth
in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders, 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and other SEC
filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as to the date of the press
release. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any
revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of the press release.
