The term loan borrowings and equipment loans bear interest as of January 31,
1997 at 8.5% and 8.75% respectively.

4. The fiscal 1996 net income from discontinued operations represents the
Company's former subsidiary, MediTek Health Corporation, which was sold in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 at a gain of $5,264,000 (89 cents per share).

5. Net income per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period plus common share
equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive, and
has been adjusted for the effect of any stock dividends and stock splits.

6. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the three months ended
January 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

    Cash paid for interest was $95,000 and $67,000 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $592,000 and $304,000 in 1997 and
1996, respectively.

7. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based method
of accounting for stock options. Entities may elect to either adopt the
measurement criteria of the statement for accounting purposes, thereby
recognizing an amount in results of operations on a prospective basis, or
disclose the pro forma effects of the new measurement criteria in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company intends to adopt the pro forma
disclosure features of SFAS No. 123, which are effective for fiscal year 1997.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              For the three months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 1997 first quarter net income of $1,594,000 ($.25 per share) increased
176% over fiscal 1996 first quarter net income from continuing operations of
$578,000 ($.10 per share).

For the first three months of fiscal 1997, net sales totaled $14,267,000,
representing a 104% increase over net sales from continuing operations of
$6,978,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1996.

The improved fiscal 1997 earnings are primarily attributable to increased sales
as discussed below.

Net sales of the Company's Flight Support operations totaled $8,786,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to $6,978,000 in the same period of
fiscal 1996. The $l,808,000, or 26%, increase from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 is
principally due to increased sales volumes of jet engine replacement parts to
the Company's commercial airline industry customers.

Net sales of the Company's Ground Support operations totaled $5,481,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, all of which represented sales of Trilectron
Industries, Inc. (Trilectron), a business acquired in September 1996.

The Company's Flight Support operations had a backlog which totaled
approximately $14 million as of January 31, 1997 and October 31, 1996. The
current backlog decreased from $24 million as of January 31, 1996 principally
due to expiration of certain customer contracts which have been replaced by
orders pursuant to shorter term purchase orders.

The Company's Ground Support operations had a backlog totalling $14 million at
January 31, 1997. This is a 27% increase over the October 31, 1996 backlog
balance of $11 million and is principally due to receipt of a contract
approximating $4 million covering deliveries expected to begin in fiscal 1997
and continue into 1998.

                                       -8-

The Company's gross profit margins averaged 33.2% in the first quarter of fiscal
1997, which approximated the 33.3% average gross profit margins in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. This reflects an improvement in gross margins in the
Flight Support operations, partially offset by inclusion of the newly-acquired
Ground Support operations. Sales of ground support equipment generally carry
lower profit margins than those of the Company's Flight Support operations. The
improvement in margins in the Flight Support operations reflects volume
increases in sales of higher margin products and manufacturing cost
efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased $1,110,000 over amounts in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The increase from fiscal 1996 is due principally to increased selling
expenses by the Flight Support operations and the SG&A expenses of Trilectron.
As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses improved to 19.0% of
consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, down from 22.9% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Income from operations, which totaled $2,034,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1997, increased $1,309,000, or 181%, over the same period of last year. This
increase reflects the increase in sales of Flight Support operations and sales
of Ground Support operations as discussed above.

Interest and other income in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $216,000
over the first quarter of fiscal 1996, principally due to interest income on the
convertible note received from the sale of MediTek in July 1996.

The Company's effective tax rate totaled 32.1% for the first quarter of 1997 and
33.3% in the first quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first three months of fiscal 1997, net cash provided by operating
activities totaled $368,000 reflecting higher earnings, net of planned increases
in inventories to meet customer delivery requirements and scheduled payments of
trade accounts payable and other current liabilities.

The Company's principal investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
1997 were purchases of property, plant and equipment of $1.1 million.

The Company's principal financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
1997 were $.7 million in proceeds of long-term debt primarily representing
reimbursements for qualified expenditures from Industrial Revenue Bond proceeds
and the receipt of funds from the exercise of Company stock options of $.4
million.

During the first quarter of 1997, Trilectron received approval from Manatee
County, Florida for an increase from $3 million to $4 million in the amount of
industrial development revenue bonds to be issued to construct and equip a
