                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
         (amounts in thousands, except share and per share information)

1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Environmental Tectonics Corporation ("ETC" or the "Company"), its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ETC International Corporation, Entertainment Technology
Corporation, and ETC Europe, 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 and the
financial results for the period presented may not be indicative of the full
year's results, 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-K for the year ended February
25, 2000. Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2000 financial
statements to conform with the fiscal 2001 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
month periods ended May 26, 2000 and May 28, 1999. All earnings per share and
share amounts have been restated to reflect a 2 for 1 stock split effective May
28, 1999.

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. These
costs were recorded beginning in fiscal year 1994, including $1,148 recorded
during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. (See commentary concerning "agreement
in principle" following.) The Company has recorded claims, amounting to $3,898,
to the extent of contract costs incurred, and accounts receivable of $1,649,
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 2001. 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 and is based on recovery estimates which
incorporate facts and events relevant to the claims process. The Company
currently has approximately $12,000 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. In May 2000, the Company and the U.S. Government
reached an agreement in principle which would include resolution of all U.S.
Navy claims on a global basis and contracted additional work on the centrifuge.
The Government is currently seeking approvals for the agreement.

International receivables and unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation

     International receivables billed includes $900 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 $4,600 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 performance bond, as well as a
draw on an approximately $1,100 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 remained 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, one of which was a delay in obtaining an export license to ship
parts required to complete the trainers. The balance due on the contract is
still under review and at this point the Company is not able to determine what,
if any, impact the extended completion period will have upon the receipt of
final payment. However, the Company has continued the payment recovery process
and recently fowarded to the RTAF a letter from the U.S. State Department
supporting the Company's position as to the export license delay. Also, the
Company is currently working with the RTAF to finalize new project requirements.

     Unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation represent claims made or to
be made against an international customer for three contracts covering 1994 to
the present. Claims aggregating $1,610 have been recorded beginning in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 including $110 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
2001. Claim costs have been incurred in connection with customer caused delays,
errors in specifications and designs, and other out-of-scope items and may not
be received in full during fiscal 2001. 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 is
currently updating and finalizing these claims and also to has legal proceedings
against the customer. As a related item, during the third quarter of fiscal
2000, the aforementioned international customer, citing failure to deliver
product within contract terms, assessed liquidated damages totalling
approximately $1,600 on two contracts currently in progress. The Company
disputes the basis for these liquidated damages and plans to contest them
vigorously. However, following generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company has reduced contract values by $1,600 and corresponding revenue
recognition by approximately $1,400.

Segment operating income (loss) consists of net sales less applicable costs and
expenses relating to these revenues. Unallocated general corporate expenses,
letter of credit fees, interest expense and income taxes have been excluded from
the determination of the total profit for segments. General corporate expenses
are primarily central administrative office expenses. Property, plant and
equipment are not identified with specific business segments because most of
these assets are used in each of the segments.

Approximately 31% of sales totalling $2,237 in the first quarter fiscal 2001
were made to two international and one domestic customer in the ATS segment.
Approximately 57% of sales totaling $4,760 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000
were made to two international customers in the ATS segment.

Included in the segment information for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 are
export sales of $3,246. Of this amount, there are sales to or relating to
governments or commercial accounts in Great Britain of $995. Sales to the US
government and its agencies aggregate $1,462 for the first quarter of fiscal
2001.

Included in the segment information for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 are
export sales of $6,885. Of these amounts, there are sales to or relating to
governments or commercial accounts in Great Britain $1,396 and Nigeria
$3,364. Sales to the U.S. government and its agencies aggregate $218 for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.

7. Acquisiton of ETC Europe

Europe from the President of the Company. The purchase price, paid in two
installments, was completed in the fiscal year ended February 25, 2000. The
results for ETC Europe have been included in the Company's financial results for

8.  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting and
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts and for Hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
as fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and
resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Effective February 25, 2000, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 133 which had no impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operation.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Condition
           (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Results of Operations
Three months ended May 26, 2000 compared to May 28, 1999.

     The Company had net income of $882, or $.12 per share (diluted), versus net
income of $835, or $.10 per share (diluted), for the corresponding first quarter
of fiscal 2000. Sales for the quarter were $7,157, a decrease of $1,138 or
13.7%, from the prior year as increases in the domestic and U.S. Government
markets were completely offset by a decrease internationally. Domestic sales, up
$1,257 or 105.5%, benefited from increased entertainment activity and sales for
the large Chicago O'Hare Airport simulation project. Sales to the U.S.
Government, increased almost six-fold to $1,462,000, were aided in part by
including claims revenue of $1,148. In May, 2000, the Company and the U.S.
Government reached an agreement in principle which would include resolution of
all U.S. Navy claims on a global basis and contracted additional work on the
centrifuge. The reduction in international sales, down $3,639 or 52.9%, was
somewhat misleading as the prior period benefited from unusually high shipments
under a large $13 million Aeromedical contract booked in February, 1999.
Product-wise, significant increases were evidenced in the Environmental and
Simulation groups which were up $101, 22.3% and $335, 1,508.6% respectively.
Additionally, sales performance was helped by consolidating the results of ETC
Europe purchased in March, 2000.

     Gross profit decreased $63 or 1.8%, as the sales volume decrease was mostly
offset by a 5.7 percentage point increase in the rate as a percent of sales
reflecting claims profit from the aforementioned Navy settlement in
principle. As is customary in these situations, costs (representing U.S.
Government caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, and other
unanticipated causes) associated with this settlement were expensed in prior
fiscal periods.

     Selling and administrative expenses decreased $212, or 11.3%, primarily
reflecting reduced commissions expense on less commissionable sales, partially
offset by expenses for ETC Europe which was not consolidated in the prior
period. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses
increased approximately .7 percentage point between the periods.

     Research and development expenses were up $53 or 43.4% from the prior
period reflecting additional product development primarily in the Company's
Turkish software branch.

     Interest and other fees were down 12.3% from the prior period as foreign
exchange gain offset a slight increase in interest expense on larger average
borrowings.

     The Company's tax rate approximates the statutory rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the three month period ended May 26,2000, the Company used $3,472
for operating activities. This was primarily a result of an increase in costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted long term contracts,
inventory and a reduction in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
on uncompleted long term contracts. Positive cash was generated by net income,
non-cash expenses, and an increase in the income tax accrual. The usage
primarily reflected production costs for projects that are either still in
inventory or had delayed billing. Versus last year's corresponding period, net
cash used in operating activities reflected an increase of approximately $5
million as the prior period included higher billing activity.

     Investment activities consisted of purchases for capital equipment and
capitalized software and the net cash impact of buying ETC Europe.

     Financing activities consisted of cash from the issuance of long term bonds
and cash from the issuance of stock partially offset by bank repayments and an
increase in restricted cash. On February 25, 2000, the Company signed an
amendment to its revolving Credit Agreement originally entered into on March 27,
1997, which increased its credit facility to $15 million and extended its
expiration date to August 31, 2001. Term and conditions of the amendment
remained essentially the same as the original agreement. Substantially all of
the Company's short-term financing is provided by this bank. On March 15, 2000,
the Company issued approximately $5.5 million of unregistered taxable variable
rate demand/fixed rate revenue bonds (Series of 2000). Net proceeds from these
bonds were used to repay a $4.1 million advance taken on the Company's revolving
credit facility and to finance construction of an addition to the Company's main
plant in Southampton, Pa. The bonds are secured by a $5.6 million irrevocable
direct pay letter of credit issued by the Company's main lender which expires on
March 15, 2005 and which is secured by all assets of the Company. The bonds
carry a maturity date of April 1, 2020, bear a variable interest rate which
adjusts each week to a rate required to remarket the bonds at full principal
value (currently at 6.70% on July 2, 2000) with a cap of 17%, and are subject to
mandatory redemption of $275 per year for 19 years and $245 for the 20th year.

     The Company's sales backlog at May 26,2000, and February 25, 2000, for work
to be performed and revenue to be recognized under written agreements after such
dates was approximately $41,267 and $44,146 respectively. In addition, the
Company's training and maintenance contracts backlog at May 26, 2000 and
February 25, 2000, for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized after
that date under written agreements, was approximately $1,333 and $1,288
respectively.
