Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Financial Condition

Aero Systems Engineering, Inc. ("ASE") had a loss of $594,000 after tax during
the second quarter of 1995 and a loss of $591,000 after tax for the first six
months of 1995 as compared with a loss of $72,000 and $456,000 after tax during
the same periods in 1994, respectively. The losses during these periods in 1995
are primarily attributed to lower earned revenue and increased operating
expenses partially offset by improved margins on projects in process, as
described below.

The Company's backlog of orders as of June 30, 1995 was $30,200,000 as compared
with $18,455,000 as of December 31, 1994, which represents a 64% increase during
the first six months of 1995. This increase is primarily related to several
large wind tunnel orders being received in recent months.

Earned revenue for the second quarter of 1995 decreased $2,357,000 or 34% as
compared with the same period in 1994. Year to date earned revenue for the first
six months of 1995 decreased $1,451,000 or 12% as compared with the same period
in 1994. These decreases are primarily related to the decreased backlog at the
beginning of 1995 in the Company's test cell business as a result of the
continued low level of business in the airline industry. Lower revenue in the
test cell business was partially offset by an increase in wind tunnel revenue as
a result of several orders being received in the fourth quarter of 1994 and
early 1995.

The cost of earned revenue, as a percentage of earned revenue, decreased to 76%
during the second quarter of 1995 as compared with 79% during the same period in
1994. The cost of earned revenue, as a percentage of earned revenue, decreased
to 75% for the first six months of 1995 as compared with 81% during the same
period in 1994. These decreases are the result of improved project mix during
the first six months of 1995. In addition, during the first quarter of 1994 the
Company's overhead level was too high as compared to the level of revenue. The
Company reduced its' workforce and overhead level in early March 1994 to address
the lower level of work in process during that period.

The Company recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion method for its
long-term contracts. Estimates of revenues earned and expenses to be incurred to
complete the contracts are made in conjunction with the preparation of the
quarterly financial statements. However, final determination of the
profitability of the contracts are subject to settlement of any final claims
which may develop at the time the completed contract is accepted by the customer
as well as risks inherent in estimates which are made during the course of the
contract work.

Operating expenses increased $65,000 or 5% during the second quarter of 1995 as
compared with the second quarter of 1994 and $199,000 or 8% during the first six
months of 1995 as compared with the same period in 1994.

This increase is the result of research and development activity as the Company
recognized the need to make a significant commitment in order to maintain a
leadership role in the industry.

Accounts receivable as of June 30, 1995 increased $1,084,000 as compared with
December 31, 1994. The increase was the result of a large downpayment invoiced
during June. This increase is offset by the increase in billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts as of June 30, 1995 of
$871,000 as compared with December 31, 1994. Billings are a function of contract
terms and do not necessarily relate to the percentage of completion of a
project.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as
of June 30, 1995 increased $998,000 compared with December 31, 1994. The Company
recognizes profit on long-term projects on the percentage of completion basis,
which permits earned revenue to be recognized prior to the time that progress
payments are billed. When this occurs, amounts are added to this asset account
for the recognition of earned revenue prior to the billing of progress payments.
The increase since December 31, 1994 is due to the recognition of earned revenue
on several projects during the first six months of 1995 which had not yet
reached billing milestones as of June 30, 1995.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $1,164,000 as of June 30, 1995
as compared with December 31, 1994 as a result of the stages of completion of
projects during the first six months of 1995.

Notes payable to banks increased $2,293,000 as of June 30, 1995 as compared with
December 31, 1994. This increase is directly related to the increase in costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and the
decrease in accounts payable noted above, which has increased current working
capital needs.

The Company has relied upon bank credit lines during recent years as a source of
its capital resources and liquidity. These lines of credit are guaranteed by
Celsius AB. Celsius, Inc., a United States corporation which owns approximately
80% of the common stock of the Company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celsius
Invest which is wholly-owned by Celsius AB. The Company currently has a bank
lines of credit which enable it to borrow up to a total of $6,500,000 under
which $1,666,000 was available as of June 30, 1995. The Company believes that
these bank lines of credit, along with cash flows from operations, will be
adequate to support the Company's future cash needs at least through 1995. The
Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures in 1995.

Highly competitive market conditions have minimized the effect of inflation on
both the contract prices and the cost of the Company's purchased materials.
Productivity improvements and cost reduction programs have largely offset the
effect of inflation on other costs and expenses.
