         In February 1998, the Company's $7 million revolving credit facility
was extended to March 31, 1998.

4. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
1997 totaled $268,000 and $638,000, respectively. The expenses for the first
three months of 1998 are net of $628,000 received from Lufthansa Technik AG
(Lufthansa) pursuant to a research and development cooperation agreement entered
into on October 30, 1997.

5. Basic net income per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding dilution. Diluted net
income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period plus common share equivalents arising from
the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. Per share information for
fiscal 1997 has been restated in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." All net income per share
figures have been adjusted for the effect of any stock dividends and stock
splits.

6. As of January 31, 1998, the Company has outstanding 8,289,659 shares of $.01
par value per share common stock and options to purchase 2,604,043 shares of
common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share.
Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to receive when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors dividends and other distributions payable in
cash, property, stock, or otherwise. In the event of liquidation, after payment
of debts and other liabilities of the Company, and after making provision for
the holders of preferred stock, if any, the remaining assets of the Company will
be distributable ratably among the holders of common stock. Stock options issued
for the Company's common stock had an average exercise price of $6.57 at January
31, 1998. The term of each option is determined by the Stock Option Committee
but shall never exceed ten years. Since the end of fiscal year 1997, 6,166
shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options.

7. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

    Cash paid for interest was $129,000 and $95,000 in 1998 and 1997
respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $666,000 and $592,000 in 1998 and
1997, respectively.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              For the three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 1998 first quarter net income of $2,282,000 ($.22 per share) increased
43% over fiscal 1997 first quarter net income of $1,594,000 ($.17 per share).
The per share amounts shown here have been calculated on a diluted basis and
represent a 29% increase over the first quarter of last year.

For the first three months of fiscal 1998, consolidated net sales totaled
$19,783,000, representing a 39% increase over net sales of $14,267,000 in the
first three months of fiscal 1997.

The improved fiscal 1998 earnings are primarily attributable to increased sales
as discussed below.

Net sales of the Company's Flight Support operations totaled $13,930,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to $8,786,000 in the same period of
fiscal 1997. The $5,144,000, or 59%, increase from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 is
principally due to the inclusion of sales of Northwings Accessories Corp.
(Northwings), a business acquired in September 1997, and 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 $5,853,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, a 7% increase over net sales of $5,481,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase reflects principally increased demand
for the Company's products.

The Company's Flight Support operations had a backlog of approximately $28
million at January 31, 1998, $24 million as of October 31, 1997, and $14 million
as of January 31, 1997. This backlog includes approximately $18 million as of
January 31, 1998 and $17 million as of October 31, 1997 representing forecasted
shipments over the next 12 months for certain contracts of the Flight Support
operations pursuant to which customers provide estimated annual usage. The
increase in the current backlog from that of January 31, 1997, is principally
due to certain customers entering into longer term contracts, which replaced
shorter term purchase orders.

The Company's Ground Support operations had a backlog totalling $12 million at
January 31, 1998 and October 31, 1997 and $14 million as of January 31, 1997.

The Company's gross profit margins averaged 36.9% in the first quarter of fiscal
1998, which increased 11% over the 33.2% average

gross profit margins in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This reflects an
improvement in gross margins in the Flight Support operations, partially offset
lower margins due to product mix within the Ground Support operations. The
improvement in margins in the Flight Support operations reflects the higher
gross profit margins of the newly-acquired Northwings' operations and a margin
increase due to the reimbursement of research and development costs from
Lufthansa. (See Note 4 to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements)

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 increased $776,000 over amounts in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
The increase from fiscal 1997 is due principally to the SG&A expenses of
Northwings. As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses improved to 17.6%
of consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, down from 19.0%
in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Income from operations, which totaled $3,821,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1998, increased $1,787,000, or 88%, over the same period of last year. This
increase is principally attributable to the increase in sales and gross margins
of the Flight Support operations and the acquisition of Northwings as discussed
above.

Interest and other income in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $105,000
over the first quarter of fiscal 1997, principally due to interest income on the
unexpended proceeds of industrial development revenue bonds and the investment
of cash received from the sale of a 20% minority interest in a consolidated
subsidiary to Lufthansa in October 1997.

The Company's effective tax rate totaled 33.5% for the first quarter of 1998 and
32.1% in the first quarter of 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
non-deductible amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of
Northwings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first three months of fiscal 1998, net cash provided by operating
activities totaled $2,408,000 reflecting primarily higher net income before
minority interest.

The Company's principal investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
1998 were purchases of property, plant and equipment of $.7 million principally
related to industrial revenue bond projects.

The Company's principal financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
1998 were $.6 million in proceeds of long-term debt primarily representing
reimbursements for qualified expenditures from unexpended proceeds of industrial
revenue bonds.

There have been no other material changes in the liquidity or the capital
resources of the Company since the end of fiscal 1997.
