AEROSONIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JULY 31, 2000

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 July 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
January 31, 2001. 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, 2000.

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

As reported in the annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2000, 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. During 1997 the Company recorded a provision of
approximately $175,000 related to the estimated costs to be incurred under this
plan. As of January 31, 2000 the company had utilized all amounts originally
recorded in Other accrued expenses, and phase-one remediation had been
completed. Management believes that any additional liability for any further
remediation will not have a material affect on the financial position of the
company.

</TABLE>

     The amount of long-term debt and notes payable maturing in each of the
     fiscal years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 approximates $994,000, $994,000,
     $1,212,000, $329,000 and $2,338,000, respectively.

     The Company's long-term debt agreements include certain restrictive
     covenants, including restrictions on dividends (dividends during any single
     calendar year cannot exceed 25 percent of net income for that year),
     limitations on business acquisitions and sales of assets, and the
     requirement to maintain: a debt to tangible net worth ratio of 1.0:1, a
     current ratio of 2.0:1 and a long-term debt service coverage of 1.25:1. The
     Company is in compliance with all of the above debt covenants at July 31,
     2000.

     NOTE PAYABLE, II

     During July 2000, the Company converted $1,800,000 of its Revolving Credit
     Facility into a long term note payable. This note bears interest at the
     rate of 8.71% per annum until October 31, 2000; on October 31, 2000 the
     interest rate shall be adjusted to 275 basis points over the "trailing 90
     day average of the 90 day Treasury bill rate" on the last day of each of
     the Company's fiscal calendar quarters. This note is payable in
     thirty-seven monthly principal installments of $37,103, plus accrued
     interest, with the outstanding principal balance due on or before September
     30, 2003. This note is collateralized by receivables, inventory and general
     intangibles

     NOTE D - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
     ----------------------------------

     During July 2000, the company acquired a revolving credit facility in the
     amount of $1,000,000 to replace the prior facility that matured in June
     2000. The interest is payable monthly and bears interest at the rate of
     8.71% per annum until October 31, 2000; on October 31, 2000 the interest
     rate shall be adjusted to 275 basis points over the "trailing 90 day
     average of the 90 day Treasury bill rate" on the last day of each of the
     Company's fiscal calendar quarters. Approximately $513,000 of additional
     credit was available under this facility at July 31, 2000. This note is due
     and payable on demand, and if no demand is made, is due and payable May 30,
     2001. The revolving credit facility agreement is collateralized by
     receivables, inventory and general intangibles, and is subject to the same
     covenants that are included in the Company's long-term debt agreements.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Company wide net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2000 decreased by
4% to $5,632,000 as compared to $5,861,000 for the same period in the preceding
year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales equaled 35% in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2001 versus 36% during the same period in the prior year.
Sales and gross margin was consistent with the same period in the preceding
year. Scheduled deliveries were lower in the second quarter compared with the
first quarter of fiscal year 2001, however the product mix of deliveries had a
stronger concentration of higher margin items.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased during the second
quarter ended July 31, 2000 to $1,620,000 as compared to $1,770,000 during the
same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A cost is primarily
related to the decrease in the amount of sales commissions expense during the
quarter and short term turnover of personnel. As a percentage of sales, SG&A
declined to 29% from 30% in the prior year period. Management continues efforts
to grow the Company and continue research and development while controlling SG&A
cost.

Interest expense totaled $113,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2000
versus $85,000 during the same period in the preceding year. The increase is due
primarily to increased interest rates.

For the second quarter ended July 31, 2000 the Company recorded a net profit of
$120,000 or $0.03 per share, compared to a net profit of $144,000, or $0.04 per
share during the same period in the preceding year.

Working capital equaled $12,748,000 at July 31, 2000 and the Company's current
ratio approximated 3.82:1. Significant sources of cash during the second quarter
of fiscal year 2001 were from operations, which included decreases in accounts
receivable and inventory. The increase in the Company's current ratio is
primarily the result of negotiating a new loan agreement. The Company's
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.

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

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary market risks exposure for the Company is interest rate risk. The
Company does not currently utilize any financial instruments to manage interest
rate risk.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its
variable rate short and long term borrowings. A hypothetical 10% increase in the
Company's weighted average interest rate would have increased the Company's
interest expense for the second quarter by approximately $14,000 based on the
balance of variable rate debt outstanding at July 31, 2000

PART II.        OTHER INFORMATION

AEROSONIC CORPORATION

    Item 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     David S. Goldman, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Aerosonic
     Corporation sued the Company in September 1996, for an alleged breach of a
     consulting agreement between Mr. Goldman and the Company. The suit seeks
     damages in excess of $15,000. During fiscal year 1997, the Company sued Mr.
     Goldman and Mil-Spec Finishers, Inc., a former subcontractor to Aerosonic
     Corporation controlled by Mr. Goldman, seeking damages in excess of
     $15,000, for alleged fraud and misappropriation of funds, appropriation of
     corporate opportunity, breach of fiduciary duty and conversion. The Company
     filed an amended complaint, adding claims for civil theft against both
     defendants, in October of 1997. Discovery has not yet been completed,
     however a trial date has been set for February of 2001. Management believes
     that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material,
     negative effect on the financial position of the Company.
