                         INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO UNAUDITED

              PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet and
statements of operations utilize the historical financial condition and results
of operations of HEICO Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July
31, 2000 and for the nine months then ended and for the year ended October 31,
1999. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared on the basis summarized below:

         o The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet as of
           July 31, 2000 assumes that the Company's sale of all of the
           outstanding capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trilectron
           Industries, Inc. ("Trilectron") including its 40% investment in the
           outstanding capital stock of R. H. Phillips and Sons Engineers, LTD.
           ("Phillips") had been consummated as of that date.

         o The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
           operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 assumes that the
           Company's sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Trilectron
           including its 40% investment in the outstanding capital stock of
           Phillips had been consummated as of the beginning of the nine-month
           period ended July 31, 2000.

         o The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of
           operations for the year ended October 31, 1999 assumes that the
           Company's sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Trilectron
           including its 40% investment in the outstanding capital stock of
           Phillips had been consummated as of the beginning of the year ended
           October 31, 1999.

As a result of the sale, the Company will report a net gain of approximately
$10.6 million, after taxes, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. This gain is
not reflected in the pro forma condensed statements of operations presented.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations are not
necessarily indicative of actual operating results had the sale been made at the
beginning of the periods presented or of future results of operations.
