AEROSONIC CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULT OF
OPERATIONS

Companywide  net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1997 were $5,327,000
as  compared  to  $4,989,000  for the same period in the  preceding  year.  This
represents a $338,000 or 7% increase during the second quarter of Fiscal 1997.

Net sales for the Clearwater and Kansas  Instrument  Divisions  during the first
quarter of Fiscal 1998 totaled  $3,109,000,  which  represents a $949,000 or 44%
increase  from the same  period in the prior  year.  Net sales for the  Avionics
Specialties  Division for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 were  $2,218,000,  an
11%  decrease  over the same  period in the prior  year.  Discontinued  Ordnance
division sales totaled $328,000 during the three months ended April 30, 1996.

Gross  profit as a  percentage  of net sales  approximated  35% during the first
quarter of Fiscal 1998 as compared  to 29% during the  respective  period in the
preceding  year. The improvement is largely  attributed to increased  management
focus on the instrument  product line, the Company's core business line. Company
management is reengineering and streamlining the instrument manufacturing,  cost
accounting  and sales  management  processes as well as  addressing  significant
price increases on certain instrument lines. In addition,  management  continues
to focus on increased sales volume through both long-term contracts with certain
customers  and  the  generation  of  new  business  both   internationally   and
domestically.

Interest  expense  totaled  $81,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 as
compared to $67,000 for the same period in the preceding  year.  The increase is
primarily  due  to  heavier  borrowings  under  the  Company's  line  of  credit
agreement.

The  Company  recorded  net  income  for the first  quarter  of  Fiscal  1998 of
$278,000,  or $.07 per share.  This  compares to a net loss of $199,000 or (.05)
per share for the respective period in the prior year.

Working  capital  increased by $280,000  during the first quarter of Fiscal 1998
and the  Company's  current ratio  approximated  3:1,  consistent  with the last
reporting period. Significant sources of cash during the first quarter consisted
of funds generated from operations. Net cash provided by operations approximated
$202,000  for the first  quarter of Fiscal  1998 as  compared to $77,000 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 quarter of
Fiscal 1998 generating cash of approximately  $95,000.  Significant uses of cash
included a net decrease in other current assets and liabilities, the purchase of
property  and  equipment  and  repayment of  long-term  debt and notes  payable,
related.
