           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            ($000's)

1.   The information in this report reflects all adjustments
     which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
     statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

     There has been no significant change in the Company's
     effective tax rate since February 24, 1995.

2.   Under the Company's 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan,
     500,000 shares of the Company's common stock are currently
     reserved for issuance in connection with the exercise of
     options, and options to acquire 83,150 shares are currently
     outstanding.

3.   Earnings per common share are based on net income divided by
     the number of common and common stock equivalent shares
     (shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
     warrants) outstanding.  Weighted average number of common
     shares and equivalents outstanding were approximately
     2,930,000 (primary) in 1995 and 2,897,000 (primary) in 1994.

     U.S. Government receivables billed and unbilled
     contract costs subject to negotiation:

     Unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation represent
     claims made or to be made against the U.S. Government.  The
     Company has recorded claims to the extent of contract costs
     incurred. These costs have been incurred in connection with
     U.S. Government-caused delays, errors in specifications and
     designs, and other unanticipated causes and may not be
     received in full during fiscal 1996.  In accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles, revenue recorded
     by the Company from a claim does not exceed the incurred
     contract costs related to the claim.  The Company estimates
     that the total net claims filed and to be filed approximate
     $7,300, a portion of which has been included in U.S.
     Government receivables billed and unbilled contract costs
     subject to negotiation.  Such claims are subject to
     negotiation and audit by the U.S. Government.

     International unbilled contract costs subject to
     negotiation:

     Unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation represent
     claims made or to be made against a certain foreign
     government (see Note 6).  The Company has recorded claims to
     the extent of the drawn letters of credit and called
     performance bond, which may not be recovered in full in
     fiscal 1996.  The total net claim filed includes these
     amounts, as discussed in Note 6.  Such claims are subject to
     arbitration and negotiation with the foreign government.


6.   Contingencies:

     Claims and Litigation:

     A suit was commenced against the Company in March 1988 in
     the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania by
     an employee of a customer for an unspecified amount alleging
     negligence and strict products liability in the design,
     manufacture, distribution, and servicing of a sterilizer
     manufactured by the Company which resulted in an injury
     sustained by the plaintiff in 1986.  On June 20, 1995, the
     parties entered into a settlement agreement and judgment by
     consent.  The agreement and judgment, in which the Company
     expressly disclaims liability with respect to the underlying
     claims of the plaintiffs in the action, and which expressly
     declares that the rights of the Company's lenders under
     existing credit agreements or extensions thereof are
     superior to those of the plaintiffs, calls for the
     plaintiffs to receive a total sum of no more than $1,200, in
     the following manner: (1) funds previously deposited by the
     Company's products liability carrier with the U.S. District
     Court, together with accrued interest thereon, in a total
     amount of slightly more than $550, have been released to
     plaintiffs;  (2) the Company paid approximately $50 on July
     20, 1995;  (3) the Company will pay an additional sum of
     $100 by April 20, 1996;  (4) beginning on July 31, 1996, and
     each year thereafter, the Company will pay a total of $495
     at the rate of $55 per year over nine years, unless in any
     given year the Company cannot make such a payment because
     (a) it is or, as a result of such payment, would be in
     default of any of its obligations under its credit
     agreements with its lenders, and (b) the lenders object to
     such payment.  In the event that plaintiffs consider any
     such objection to payment to be unreasonable, they would
     have the right to petition the Bucks County Court of Common
     Pleas for a determination.  A greater payment, up to a
     maximum of $165, will be made in any year if and to the
     extent the Company can do so without being in violation of
     any of its obligations to its lenders under its credit
     agreements.  The Company's installment payment obligations
     will be discharged when the Company has paid a total of
     $495.  No interest accrues on this judgment.  At February
     24, 1995, the Company recognized this obligation as a note
     payable in the face amount of $648 (the $1,195 judgment less
     the $547 escrowed funds), less a discount of $228 based on
     an imputed interest rate of 11%.  Under the payment terms of
     the note payable, the Company does not anticipate that the
     settlement will have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's liquidity.

     In fiscal 1991, the Company entered into a contract with a
     subcontractor for the design and development of software to
     operate and control a certain large aircrew training system
     for the U.S. Government.  The contract between the Company
     and the subcontractor called for arbitration of all matters
     pertaining to the contract which were in dispute between the
     parties and could not be resolved.  In August 1993, the
     Company terminated the subcontractor for default by reason
     of its refusal to deliver its software.  The subcontractor
     refused to deliver the software due to claims for cost
     overruns under the contract.  Hearings were conducted before
     the American Arbitration Association (AAA) during the period
     of January through April, 1995.  In June 1995, the AAA
     rendered a net award to the subcontractor in the amount of
     $746.  In August 1995, the Court entered judgment on the
     award.  In October 1995, a settlement agreement for the
     payment of the judgment was reached between the Company and
     the subcontractor in the following manner:  (1) the Company
     paid $100 in October 1995; (2) the Company paid $50 on
     November 20, 1995, and will thereafter make monthly payments
     in the amount of $50 on or before the 20th of each
     succeeding month.  These payments will be made on a monthly
     basis until the entire amount of the judgment, including all
     accrued interest, has been paid.  Interest accrues at the
     rate of 6% per year, beginning on June 6, 1995, on the
     outstanding principal balance of the judgment.  In the event
     that the Company fails to make any payment,  the
     subcontractor may pursue whatever rights it may have to
     collect the unpaid balance and accrued interest.  Under the
     payment terms of the settlement, the Company does not
     anticipate a material adverse effect on the Company's
     liquidity.

     In October 1993, the Company was notified by the Royal Thai
     Air Force (RTAF) that the RTAF was terminating a certain
     $4,600 simulator contract with the Company.  Although the
     Company has performed in excess of 90% of the contract, the
     RTAF alleged a failure to completely perform.  In connection
     with this termination, the RTAF made a call on a $229
     performance bond, as well as a draw on approximately $1,100
     of advance payment letters of credit (see Note 2).  The RTAF
     has also asserted liquidated damages against the Company. 
     In October 1993, the surety made payment on the $229
     performance bond, and in the first quarter of fiscal 1995,
     it made payment on the approximately $1,100 advance payment
     letters of credit.  The Company has commenced arbitration
     with the RTAF.  In the arbitration, the Company is claiming
     that the termination was wrongful and that the Company is
     entitled to complete the work and to be paid the balance of
     the contract price, as well as to have the advance payment
     and performance bond money returned to it. The Company is
     also asserting entitlement to set off against the RTAF's
     claims for liquidated damages the Company's costs incurred
     on the bond and letters of credit called, as well as costs
     incurred in connection with RTAF-directed changes in the
     work and RTAF-caused delays and damage to the Company's
     work.  The case is pending before the Thailand Arbitration
     Board.  Management believes the Company has meritorious
     claims in excess of claims made by the RTAF, as well as
     meritorious grounds to support nonpayment of the performance
     bond and letters of credit.  The Company has also denied the
     RTAF claims and believes they are without merit. 
     Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result
     has been made in the accompanying financial statements. 
     Management and legal counsel believe that the ultimate
     outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse
     effect on the Company's financial position or results of
     operations.

     Certain other claims, suits and complaints arising in the
     ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending
     against the Company.  In the opinion of management, after
     consultation with legal counsel, all such matters are
     reserved for or adequately covered by insurance or, if not
     so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or
     involve such amounts, as would not have a significant effect
     on the financial position or results of operations of the
     Company if disposed of unfavorably.

               ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION
                        AND SUBSIDIARIES

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                        November 24, 1995

Material Changes in Financial Condition

Working capital decreased for the nine months ended November 24,
1995, from approximately $9.0 million at February 24, 1995 to
approximately $2.6 million at November 24, 1995 primarily due to
the reclassifying of the Company's credit facility (expiring
February 28, 1996) from a long-term to a short-term liability on
its balance sheet.  The change in working capital was also caused
by an increase in cash and cash equivalents restricted for
letters of credit; a $1.4 million net decrease in costs/billings
in excess primarily due to additional billings on a certain
international aircrew training systems contract during fiscal
1996; an increase in prepaid expenses due to the prepayment of
certain insurance premiums; a decrease in accounts payable; an
increase in customer deposits due to additional deposits received
on a certain international training and maintenance contract; 
and a decrease in accrued liabilities due to payment of certain
sales and use taxes accrued and payments against the net
arbitration award (see Note 6).

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with two banks,
which provides financing of up to $8.2 million.  The facility
expires by its terms on February 28, 1996.  The credit facility
permits both direct borrowing for working capital and other
corporate purposes and the issuance of letters of credit for the
Company.  At November 24, 1995, there were outstanding letters of
credit of approximately $900,000 (of which approximately $700,000
were cash collateralized pursuant to a separate letter of credit
facility at November 24, 1995) and the Company had borrowed
approximately $8.1 million (inclusive of outstanding letters of
credit of approximately $900,000) under the credit facility.  On
October 31, 1995, the credit facility was amended to defer
certain principal and interest payments from October 1995 to
November 30, 1995.  The Company was in compliance with the terms
of this amendment on November 30, 1995.  The Company currently
has no availability under the credit facility.  Such borrowings
were used to cover the difference between cash received from the
Company's customers and the Company's cash expenses - primarily
payments to suppliers and employees, acquisition of equipment,
and software development.  As and when the credit facility is
repaid from time to time, the Company expects to continue to use
this credit facility to support its working capital needs.  

In July 1995, the Company negotiated an amendment to the credit
facility, pursuant to which the maturity date of the facility was
extended to February 28, 1996, certain financial covenants were
modified, and the parties agreed to reduce, in stages, the
availability under the credit facility to $7.5 million during the
term.  The grant of the extension of the facility was based on
the Company's ability to meet its fiscal 1996 operating plan. 
This plan includes continuing its rate of collections on
outstanding accounts receivable, continued implementation of
operating cost controls, successfully procuring new contract
awards and completing performance on contracts in its backlog. 
Management believes it is probable that the Company will meet
these covenants and borrowing base requirements based on its
operating plan for fiscal 1996 and through the credit agreement
expiration date of February 28, 1996.  If the Company fails to
meet its covenant requirements it will have to obtain additional
waivers from its lenders.

The Company's sales backlog at November 24, 1995 and February 24,
1995 for work to be performed and prospective revenue to be
recognized after that date under written agreements was
approximately $19,900,000 and $12,200,000, respectively.  In
addition, the Company's backlog for training and maintenance
contracts at November 24, 1995 and February 24, 1995 for work to
be performed and prospective revenue to be recognized after that
date under written agreements was approximately $2,400,000 and
$3,500,000, respectively.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net sales of approximately $4.1 million for the three months
ended November 24, 1995 increased in comparison to net sales of
approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended November
25, 1994.  This is primarily a result of increased revenue
recognition in the aircrew training systems segment in fiscal
1996 compared to fiscal 1995, due to increased backlog in this
segment.  There was no material change in net sales for the nine
months ended November 24, 1995 in comparison to net sales for the
nine months ended November 25, 1994.

Gross profit increased by approximately $1.2 million for the nine
months ended November 24, 1995, compared with the nine months
ended November 25, 1994, primarily due to an increase in aircrew
training system sales, which are generally sold at higher margins
than other Company products.  Though gross profit increased for
the nine months ended November 24, 1995, compared with the nine
months ended November 25, 1994, there was no material change in
gross profit for the three months ended November 24, 1995 in
comparison to gross profit for the three months ended November
25, 1994.  This is due to receipt of a contract modification of
approximately $400,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 for
costs previously incurred on a certain sterilizer contract, for
which there was no corresponding gross profit recognized in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 35% for the
nine months ended November 24, 1995, from 24% for the nine months
ended November 25, 1994 due to an increase in aircrew training
systems sales recognized in fiscal 1996, which generally are sold
at higher margins, as previously discussed.  Gross profit as a
percentage of sales decreased to 31% for the three months ended
November 24, 1995, compared to 40% for the three months ended
November 25, 1994, due to the receipt of a sterilizer contract
modification, as previously discussed.

Operating expenses decreased due to the implementation of
stringent cost controls in fiscal 1995, the benefits of which did
not begin to be realized until fiscal 1996.

Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the
interest rate charged the Company on direct borrowings, partially
offset by decreased utilization of the credit facility.

The increase in gross profit from certain products in the aircrew
training systems segment combined with the decrease in operating
expenses resulted in net income for the three-month and nine-
month periods ended November 24, 1995.  <PAGE>

     amended by inserting the following sentence at the immediate
     beginning of the first sentence thereof:  "Subject to the
     provisions of Section 2.06(d),".

          Section 3.     Forbearance, Etc.  

          (a)  The Agent and the Banks hereby agree to forebear
from exercising their rights and remedies under the Credit
Agreement and the other Facility Documents as a result of the
Event of Default that exists as a result of the Borrower's
failure to make the payment of the Borrower's failure to make the
payment of principal in the amount of $100,000.00 which was due
on the last business day of October, 1995 and the Borrower's
failure to make the payment of interest due on the first day of
November, 1995 pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement,
subject to the following:

          (i)  On or before November 30, 1995, the Borrower shall
     remit to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, the amount
     of principal which was due on the last business day of
     October, 1995 (as well as the payment of additional
     principal which is due on the last business day of November,
     1995 pursuant to Section 2.08(e)) and of interest payment
     that was due on the first day of November, 1995, plus
     interest on such amount from the due date until such payment
     is made at the Default Rate; and

          (ii)  No other Event of Default shall have occurred
     after the date hereof.

     In the event that any other Event of Default shall occur
     after the date hereof or the Bank shall fail to make the
     payment required by clause (ii) above, then the Agent's and
     the Banks' forbearance shall automatically terminate on the
     date of such occurrence and/or failure, and the Agent and
     the Banks shall be immediately be permitted to exercise all
     of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and
     the Facility Documents.

          (b)  Except as expressly provided in Section 3(a), the
Loans shall continue to bear interest at the non-Default Rate.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
forbearance contained herein is applicable to the Event of
Default specifically referenced herein and shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the specific provisions
and period for which given.  Except as specifically provided
herein, nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver or
modification of any the Agent's and the Banks' rights and
remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Facility
Documents, which rights and remedies the Agent and the Banks
expressly reserve.  No failure on the part of the Agent or any
Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights under
the Facility Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof or
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power or right.

     Section 4.     Borrower Representations.  The Borrower
represents and warrants that (i) the execution and delivery of
this Amendment by the Borrower and the representations,
warranties and undertakings by Borrower now contemplated hereby:
(a) are within the corporate powers of the Borrower and have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (b) have been
discussed by the Borrower with the Borrower's own independent
counsel regarding the meaning and legal significance of this
Amendment and the provisions hereof, and (c) are valid and

in accordance with the respective terms thereof, except as may be
limited by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar law relating
to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights;
(ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 of
the Credit Agreement and Article 2 of the Security Agreement are
true and correct on the date hereof, Borrower understanding and
acknowledging hereby that such representations and warranties are
being relied upon by each of the Agent and the Banks in entering
into this Fifth Amendment; and (iii) except as expressly provided
in this Amendment and as set forth in Borrower's transmittal of
its borrowing base material as of the end of August 1995, no
other Default or Event of Default exists as of the date hereof. 

     Section 5.     Miscellaneous.

          (a)  Except as specifically provided in this Amendment,
all other terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall
remain unchanged and continue in full force and affect.

          (b)  This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

          (c)  This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts and shall become effective when counterparts hereof
have been executed by each Bank and the Agent.

          (d)  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent and
each Bank on demand for all reasonable costs, expenses, and
charges (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
charges of external legal counsel for the Agent and the Banks and
costs and charges allocated by its internal legal department)
incurred by the Agent and each Bank in connection with the
preparation, performance or enforcement of this Amendment and the
Credit Agreement and the other Facility Documents as amended
hereby.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Agent, the Banks and the
