           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Environmental Tectonics Corporation ("ETC" or the
"Company"), its wholly-owned subsidiary ETC International
Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary ETC-PZL Aerospace
Industries, Ltd. ("ETC-PZL").

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Environmental Tectonics Corporation, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

     Certain information in footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 27, 1998.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997
financial statements to conform with the 1998 presentation.

2. Earnings per Share

     Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. 
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted
in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings
of the entity.  The following table demonstrates the components
of basic and diluted earning per share for the three and six
month periods ended August 28, 1998 and August 29, 1997.

3. Accounts Receivable

     The components of accounts receivable are as follows:

                                        August 28,   February 27,

                                          $11,716       $8,448

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 under a
contract for a centrifuge.  Theses costs were recorded during
fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1998.  The Company has recorded 
<PAGE 8> claims, amounting to $2.75 million, to the extent of
contract costs incurred, and accounts receivable of $1.7 million,
representing the balance due under the contract. Claim 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 1999.  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 currently has
approximately $10.3 million in claims filed with the U.S.
Government (including the aforementioned recorded claim and
accounts receivable balances), which are subject to negotiation
and audit by the U.S. Government.  The U.S. Government has
responded to the claims with either denials or deemed denials
that the Company has appealed.  As of August, 1998, the company
was involved in discovery document review and preparing for
depositions of key government personnel.  Also, additional
amounts are under review for the period November 1995 through
October 1996 to determine what, if any, additional amounts can be
filed as supplemental claims.

International receivables billed:

     International receivables billed includes $1.8 million
related to a certain contract with the Royal Thai Air Force.

     In October 1993, the Company was notified by the Royal Thai
Air Force ("RTAF") that the RTAF was terminating a certain
$4.6 million simulator contract with the Company.  Although the
Company had 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 $229,000 performance bond,
as well as a draw on an approximately $1.1 million advance
payment letter of credit.  Work under this contract had stopped
while under arbitration, but on October 1, 1996, the Thai Trade
Arbitration Counsel rendered its decision under which the
contract was reinstated in full and the Company was given a
period of nine months to complete the remainder of the work. 
Except as noted in the award, the rights and obligations of the
parties remain as per the original contract including the
potential invoking of penalties or termination of the contract
for delay. On December 22, 1997, the Company successfully
performed acceptance testing and the unit passed with no
discrepancy reports.  Although the contract was not completed in
the time allotted, the Company has requested an extension on the
completion time due to various extenuating circumstances,
including allowable "force majeure" events.

7.  Acquisition of ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries, Ltd.

     On April 21, 1998, ETC acquired 65% ownership of MP-PZL
Aerospace Industries, Ltd. ("MP-PZL"), a simulation and advanced
training  device manufacturing company located in Warsaw, Poland. 
 <PAGE 10> The purchase price was $375,000 in cash, a $350,000
three-year promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per
annum and payable as to principal at maturity and 55,000 shares
of ETC's common stock.  MP-PZL was subsequently renamed ETC-PZL
Aerospace Industries, Ltd. ("ETC-PZL"). ETC's cost for this
acquisition was $1,220,000 and has been recorded in the
accompanying balance sheet under the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations.  In connection with the
acquisition, the Company has recorded goodwill of approximately
$662,000 and a minority interest of approximately $300,000.

     ETC-PZL's fiscal period ends December 31, 1998.  The results
of ETC-PZL for the period May 1,1998 through June 30, 1998, have
been included in ETC's results of operation for the three and six
month periods ended August 28, 1998.  On a pro forma basis had
the Company consolidated the results of ETC-PZL in the prior
fiscal periods, the following comparisons would result:

8.  Computer Software Costs

     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued  Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1 "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use."  The SOP was issued to provide authoritative
guidance on the subject of accounting for the costs associated
with the purchase or development of computer software for
internal use.  The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998.  This statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operation.

9.  Reporting Comprehensive Income

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards to
provide prominent disclosure of comprehensive income items. 
Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources.  SFAS No. 130 is effective
for all periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  Effective
February 28, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 which had no
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operation.

10.  Business Segment Presentation:

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS
No. 131 requires that public business enterprises report certain
financial information about operating segments in the complete
sets of financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed
financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. 
It also requires that public business enterprises report certain
information about their products and services, the geographic
areas in which they operate and their major customers.  SFAS
No. 131 is effective for all periods beginning after December 15,
1997.  Effective February 28, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 
<PAGE 12> No. 131 which had no impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operation.

11.  Year 2000 Issue

     Many existing computer programs use only two digits to
identify a year in the date field.  These programs were designed
and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming
change in the century.  If not corrected, many computer
applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the
year 2000.  The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies
and organizations.  The Company is currently utilizing internal
resources to identify, convert or replace its systems for Year
2000 compliance.  The Company estimates that costs associated
with the Year 2000 issue, which are currently being expensed as
incurred, will not have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

     Three months ended August 28, 1998 compared to August 29,
1997.

     The Company had net income of $234,000, or $.05 per share
(diluted) for the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  Sales were
$5,996,000, a decrease of $1,185,000 or 17% from the
corresponding prior period.  Decreases were evident across most
product segments.  An offset came from consolidating the
operations of the Company's Poland subsidiary, acquired in April,
1998.

     Gross profit decreased $75,000, or 3%, on the lower sales
volume but as a percentage of revenues increased to 38% versus
33% for the prior period.  This increase primarily reflected a
higher mix of higher margin Aeromedical Training System Sales
coupled with gross profit from the Company's Poland subsidiary.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $75,000, or
6%, reflecting the addition of local expenses for the Company's
Poland subsidiary in the current period.  Research and
development expenses increased $116,000 over the prior period,
reflecting heightened development in the hyperbaric and
aeromedical product areas.

     Interest and other fees were down from the prior period
because the prior period included additional fees associated with
the Company's March, 1997, refinancing.

     The Company's tax rate approximates the statutory rate.

     Six months ended August 28, 1998 compared to August 29,
1997.
  <PAGE 13>
     For the six month period ended August 28, 1998, the Company
had net income of $697,000, or $.16 per share (diluted), versus
$766,000, or $.20 per share (diluted) in the first six months of
fiscal 1998.  Sales were $13,456,000, slightly down from
$13,825,000 for the prior period.  As a percentage of the total,
sales in the current period of the Aeromedical Training Systems
group approximated 78% of total sales.  Revenue recognized under
contracts with the United Kingdom Royal Air Force accounted for
$2.8 million or 21% of total sales.  Sales to international
customers (including sales of the Polish subsidiary), principally
government agencies, accounted for $9.9 million or 73% of total
sales, up from $9.0 million or 65% of total sales for the same
period a year ago.

     Gross profit increased $714,000, or 17%, despite the reduced
sales level, reflecting a higher mix of higher margin Aeromedical
Training Systems sales coupled with gross profit from the
Company's Poland subsidiary.  As a percentage of revenue, gross
profit was 37% versus 31% in the prior period.

     Selling and administrative expenses were up $607,000, or 26%
from the prior period due, in part, to higher travel expenses
related to increased selling efforts and proposal development,
additional legal costs for claim activity, and the addition of
local expenses for the Company's Poland subsidiary.

     Interest and other expenses were down slightly from the
prior period because the prior period included additional fees
associated with the Company's March, 1997, refinancing. 

     The Company's tax rate approximates the statutory rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the six month period ended August 28, 1998, the
Company used $5,685,000 for operating activities.  This was
primarily a result of a net increase in costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings, increased receivables, and a
reduction in current liability accounts including accounts
payable, customer deposits and accrued income taxes.  Partial
offset came from net income and non-cash changes of depreciation
and amortization.  Generally speaking, the use of cash reflected
increased production on certain large contracts combined with 
end of period customer billings.  The Company expects to increase
its billings for long-term contracts in the second half of fiscal
1999.

     Investment activities included capital expenditures
($428,000) and capitalized software costs (254,000). On
April 21,1998, the Company acquired 65 % ownership of MP-PZL
Aerospace Industries, Ltd.  ("MP-PZL), a simulation and advanced
training device manufacturer located in Warsaw,  Poland, for
$375,000 in cash, a $350,000 three-year promissory note bearing
interest at 10% per annum and payable as to principal at maturity 
<PAGE 14> and 55,000 shares of ETC's common stock.  MP-PZL was
subsequently renamed ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries, Ltd.

     Funds to support the Company's operating and investing
activities primarily came from the Company's credit facility. 
The Company believes that cash generated from operating
activities as well as available borrowings under its credit
facility will be sufficient to meet its obligations.  On
October 2, 1998, the Company had approximately $1 million
available under its credit facility.

     The Company's sales backlog at September 30, 1998 and
February 27, 1998 for work to be performed and revenue to be
recognized under written agreements after such dates was
approximately $25.2 million and $30.4 million respectively.
