AEROSONIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JULY 31, 1997


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
reporting  and with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating  results for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  January 31,  1998.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997.

NOTE B - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------

On July 10, 1996,  the Company  finalized the sale of the assets of the ordnance
division for  $1,700,000 in cash;  the proceeds of which were  partially used to
pay down  long  term  debt,  with  the  balance  being  invested  in  marketable
securities.

Net sales for the three and six months  ended July 31,  1996 were  $630,000  and
$958,000 respectively.

Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with current year
presentation of discontinued operations.

NOTE C - ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
- ------------------------------

In  accordance  with a consent  agreement  signed by the  Company  in 1993,  the
Company's environmental consultant has developed an interim remedial action plan
to contain and remediate  certain  contamination on and underlying the Company's
property. This plan must be submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) for review and approval. Before approval of the plan, the FDEP
may require  further  assessment  and  testing.  The Company  believes  that any
additional liability in excess of amounts accrued at July 31, 1997 will not have
a material affect on the financial condition of the company.

PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT
         OF OPERATIONS

Company wide net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1997 ("fiscal  1998")
were  $4,893,000 as compared to $5,080,000  for the same period in the preceding
year. This  represents a $187,000 or 4% decrease in the second quarter  compared
to the same period last year.  The small  decline in sales is due to a temporary
delay in certain new contracts. Also, the affect of the acquisition of McDonnell
Douglas  by Boeing and the  associated  consolidation  contributed  to the sales
decline.  Deliveries were also minimally affected by the UPS work stoppage.  Net
sales for the six months ended July 31, 1997  increased by 5% to  $10,220,000 as
compared  to  $9,741,000  for the same  period  last  year.  Net  sales  for the
Clearwater and Kansas  Instrument  Divisions for the quarter ended July 31, 1997
totaled  $2,697,000,  which  represents a $372,000 or 16% increase from the same
period  in the prior  year.  The  Avionics  Specialties  Division  sales for the
quarter ended July 31, 1997 were $2,196,000, a 19% decrease over the same period
in the prior fiscal year. Discontinued Ordnance Division sales totaled $630,000

Gross profit as a percentage  of net sales  improved in both the second  quarter
and the six months ended July 31, 1997 as compared to their  respective  periods
in the prior fiscal  year.  The  improvement  is largely  attributed  to Company
management's  continued  focus on its core  business  line.  Company  management
continues its strategy of pursuing long term agreements with its major customers
and continues to focus on the worldwide market to enhance revenues.

Interest expense totaled $67,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997 versus
$90,000  during the same  period in the  preceding  year.  The  decrease  is due
primarily to the reduction in long-term borrowings.

For the second quarter ended July 31, 1997 the Company  recorded a net profit of
$206,000,  or $.05 per share.  Through the six months ended July 31,  1997,  the
company recorded a net profit of $484,000, or $.12 per share.

Working capital  increased by $793,000 during the six months ended July 31, 1997
and the Company's current ratio  approximated  3.42:1, an increase from the last
reporting  period.  Significant  sources  of cash  during  the first six  months
consisted of funds generated from operations and borrowings  under the Company's
line of  credit  arrangement.  Net  cash  provided  by  operations  approximated
$258,000 as  compared  to cash used by  operations  of  $1,647,000  for the same
period in the  preceding  year.  In addition,  stock  options  granted under the
Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan were exercised during the first six months
of Fiscal 1998 generating cash of  approximately  $134,000.  Significant uses of
cash  included a net  decrease  in other  current  assets and  liabilities,  the
purchase  of fixed  assets and  repayment  of long term debt and notes  payable,
related party. As of July 31, 1997, the Company had $550,000 available under its
$2,000,000 line of credit arrangement.  Company management  anticipates that the
availability  under the line of credit  combined with cash flow from  operations
will be sufficient to fund future growth.
