</TABLE>


NOTE D - CUMULATIVE TRANSLATION AND MINIMUM PENSION LIABILITY ADJUSTMENTS

The Cumulative translation adjustments account decreased due to a net
translation loss of $1,425 for the three-month period ended August 31, 1995. The
loss resulted from a decrease in the value of the Company's net investment in
foreign subsidiaries primarily resulting from an increase in the value of the
U.S. dollar against most European currencies. The Company reduced the minimum
pension liability by $1,246 during the three-month period ended August 31, 1995
reported within Retirement benefit obligation in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets with a corresponding increase of $1,010 to Stockholders' equity
in accordance with the method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 87,
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions".  The liability decreased as the result of
the market-driven increase in the discount rate used by the Company to determine
pension obligations and improved market values of the pension plan's assets.
The noncash adjustment did not affect the Company's results of operations.


NOTE E - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The per share data was calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding
for the periods presented.  Common stock equivalents consisting of employee
stock options have not been included in the per share calculation as their
dilutive effect is not material.

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending May 31,
1996 (fiscal 1996) increased $12,402 or 12.8% over the same period in the prior
year.  Trading sales increased $5,957 or 12.5% over the prior year as a result
of increased airframe and large component part sales.  Overhaul sales increased
$7,534 or 31.2% due to increased airframe and large airframe component overhaul
services.  These increased sales were partially offset by a decline in
Manufacturing sales of $1,089 or 4.3% due to the Company's disposition of
certain small manufactured product lines since the prior year.

Consolidated gross profit increased $3,683 or 21.9% over the prior year due to
increased consolidated net sales and an increase in the consolidated gross
profit margin to 18.7% compared to the prior years 17.3 % margin.  Higher profit
margins were experienced across most classes of products and services primarily
due to favorable product mix and better pricing of products and services.
Consolidated operating income increased $1,640 or 31.2% over the prior year as a
result of the increased net sales and gross profit margin percentage partially
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses from higher
personnel costs and marketing support costs.

Consolidated net income increased $1,221 or 60.9% over the prior year due to the
increased consolidated net sales, improved consolidated gross profit margin and
increased interest income on investment of the Company's cash and cash
equivalents.

                          (000s omitted except ratios)

AT AUGUST 31, 1995
(as compared with May 31, 1995)

In the three-month period ended August 31, 1995, the Company generated $7,026 of
cash from operations through increased earnings and working capital management.
The cash generated from operations was supplemented by payment of a note
receivable obtained in the previous sale of a partial residual interest of an
aircraft subject to a leveraged lease.  The Company's cash and cash equivalent
position increased $6,070 at the end of the three month period after making
capital expenditures and paying dividends of $2,151, and $1,915 respectively.

The Company further strengthened its financial position during the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 by increasing cash and cash equivalents, generating additional
working capital of $3,295, eliminating short-term borrowings during the three
month period and decreasing its long-term debt to capitalization ratio to 37.6%.
The Company continues to maintain available sources of financing from $133,300
of unused available bank lines and a shelf registration on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for $85,000 of  medium or long-term debt
securities, which it may issue at its discretion and subject to market
conditions.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, available sources of
financing and future income will continue to give the Company the ability to
meet its ongoing working capital requirements, make anticipated capital
expenditures, and pursue favorable business opportunities.
