NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

APRIL 30, 1999

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 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, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31,
2000. 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, 1999.

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

As reported in the annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 1999, 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, 1999 the company has a remaining liability of approximately $44,000
recorded in Other accrued expenses to cover future environmental expenditures
related to the remediation of this site. Management believes that any additional
liability in excess of the amounts accrued at April 30, 1999 will not have a
material affect on the financial position 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, 1999 decreased by 8%
to $4,894,000 as compared to $5,328,000 for the same period in the preceding
year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 40% in the first quarter
of FY2000 versus 38% during the same period in the prior year. The increase is
the result of sales of higher margin product lines.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased during the first quarter
ended April 30, 1999 to $1,827,000 as compared to $1,562,000 during the same
period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is due primarily to increased
research and development and marketing expenditures.

Interest expense totaled $86,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1999
versus $53,000 during the same period in the preceding year. The increase is due
primarily to increased short and long-term borrowings related to the startup of
the Precision Components Division. For the first quarter ended April 30, 1999
the Company recorded a net profit of $49,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a
net profit of $283,000, or $0.07 per share during the same period in the
preceding year.

Working capital decreased to $10,984,000 during the three months ended April 30,
1999 and the Company's current ratio approximated 3.15:1. Significant sources of
cash during the first three months included funds generated from borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities. Significant uses of cash included changes
in current assets and liabilities. The purchase of property and equipment
comprised the majority of other uses of cash. Company management anticipates
that cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and the availability
under the Company's line of credit arrangement will be sufficient to fund future
growth.

YEAR 2000

General
- -------

Aerosonic Corporation's company-wide Year 2000 Project (Project) is proceeding
on schedule. The Project is addressing the issue of computer programs being able
to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. Since 1995, the Company
has purchased and utilized generic software programs supplied by vendors for its
accounting, manufacturing and payroll functions. Embedded in the cost of these
computer programs from the various vendors, were free software upgrades to
include Year 2000 capabilities.

                                       7
<PAGE>


Project
- -------

Aerosonic's Project is divided into three major sections; software embedded in
products sold to customers, infrastructure (applications software and associated
hardware) and key vendor certifications.

Software developed for use in various product lines has been upgraded to
accommodate the Year 2000 issue. Production deliveries have commenced on
products with the upgraded software. Therefore, Company management believes that
the Year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on product sales.

Software programs utilized by the Company in its Manufacturing, Accounting and
Payroll functions were all purchased by third-party vendors and included
upgrades for, among other things, the Year 2000 issue. As of April 30, 1999, all
upgrades provided by software vendors, which include compliance with the Year
2000 issue, have been installed and are undergoing testing to ensure compliance
with the Year 2000 issue. Management expects to complete the testing of all
upgraded software by October 31, 1999.

In May 1998, questionnaires requiring vendor certifications were sent to all key
vendors. These certifications address issues primarily related to the vendors'
ability to provide uninterrupted service or product flow to the Company into the
new millennium. As of April 30, 1999, approximately 90% of all vendors
questioned completed the questionnaire and certified that they are either in
compliance or will be in compliance prior to the year 2000.

Costs
- -----

The total costs associated with required modifications to become Year 2000
compliant have not been material to the Company's financial position to date.
Additionally, anticipated costs to complete the Year 2000 project are not
anticipated to be material to the Company's financial position. Arrangements
with all software vendors include free upgrades on an ongoing basis, which
include upgrades for the Year 2000 issue. Incidental costs such as clerical
labor to perform testing of upgraded software, postage and clerical labor to
administer the vendor questionnaires as well as management level review of the
results are not expected to materially impact the financial position of the
Company.

Risks
- -----

The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general
uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the
uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party vendors and customers, the
Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year
2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Year 2000 Project is expected
to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000

                                       8
<PAGE>

problem and, in particular, about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its
material external agents. The Company believes that, with the completion of the
Project as scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of normal
operations should be reduced. Aerosonic Corporation believes that the most
reasonably likely worst case scenario would be business interruptions with
trading partners due to problems inherent in their own systems. This problem is
not anticipated to have a significant impact given that the Company trades with
a high number of vendors and customers, thereby minimizing its exposure to any
one trading partner.

Contingency plan
- ----------------

Aerosonic Corporation's contingency plan is scheduled to be completed by the
middle of 1999. The contingency plan will include a team to be established to
monitor all critical systems through significant date transitions and to
promptly respond to any problems.
