AEROSONIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

April 30, 1998


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 April 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended January 31, 1999. 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, 1998.

NOTE B - ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
- ------------------------------

As reported in the annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 1998, 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 was submitted to the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) in 1997 and is currently under review and
discussion. During 1997, the Company recorded a provision of approximately
$175,000 related to the estimated costs to be incurred under this plan. As of
April 30, 1998, the company has a remaining liability of approximately $109,000
recorded in Other accrued expenses to cover future environmental expenditures
related to the remediation of this site. Before approval of the plan, the FDEP
may require further assessment and testing. Company management believes that any
additional liability in excess of amounts accrued at April 30, 1998 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 April 30, 1998 were $5,328,000
as compared to $5,327,000 for the same period in the preceding year. Net sales
for the Clearwater and Kansas Instrument Divisions for the quarter ended April
30, 1998 totaled $3,091,000, which represents a $18,000 decrease from the same
period in the prior year. The Avionics Specialties Division sales for the
quarter ended April 30, 1998 were $2,237,000, a $19,000 increase over the same
period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved to 38% in the three months
ended April 30, 1998 as compared to 35% for the respective period in the prior
fiscal year. The improvement is largely attributed to Company Management's
continued focus of its sales efforts toward its most highly profitable product
lines. 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 and profitability, while de-emphasizing, and in some
areas, discontinuing sales of lower margin products.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased in the three months ended
April 30, 1998 due primarily to increased research and development expenditures
related to specific programs targeted to begin production in the third quarter
of FY'99. Employee stock bonuses accounted for a large portion of the balance of
the increase from the prior year.

Interest expense totaled $53,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1998
versus $81,000 during the same period in the preceding year. The decrease is due
primarily to the reduction in borrowings, and a renegotiation of interest rates
on its existing credit facilities.

For the first quarter ended April 30, 1998 the Company recorded net income of
$283,000, or $.07 per share. Earnings for the first quarter reflect an increase
from the same period in the prior year of $5,000.

Working capital increased to $11,946,000 during the three months ended April 30,
1998 versus $11,156,000 at January 31, 1998, and the Company's current ratio
approximated 5.4:1, which is an increase from the current ratio from last
reporting period of 5.1:1.

Significant sources of cash during the first three months consisted of funds
generated from operations and short term borrowings. Significant uses of cash
included a $935,000 payment of federal and state income tax liabilities, which
included all of FY'98 and the first quarter of FY'99. Net changes in current
assets and liabilities, the purchase of property and equipment and repayment of
long term debt and notes payable, related comprised the majority of other uses
of cash. Company management anticipates that cash flow from operations, existing
cash balances and the availability under the line of credit will be sufficient
to fund future growth.

The Company's management has evaluated the Year 2000 impact on the Company's
internal financial and operational systems. The Company has undertaken remedial
measures based upon this evaluation. The Company anticipates that any changes,
if necessary, to its information systems to make them Year 2000 compliant will
be completed by January 31, 1999. The company does not expect that the Year 2000
will cause operational problems or result in the company incurring costs
material to the company's financial condition or results of operations.
