Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

          Messrs. Gold and Sablon each owned 50% of the
          outstanding common stock of Monarch Equities, Inc.
          ("Equities") which, in turn, held 100% of the
          outstanding common stock of Pemco Engineers, Inc.
          ("Pemco") and Monarch Aviation, Inc. ("Monarch").  In
          1986, Messrs. Gold and Sablon determined to sell the
          assets of Pemco and the aviation-related assets of
          Monarch and entered into an arrangement pursuant to
          which the assets were transferred to Mr. Gold or his
          wholly owned corporate nominee (collectively, "Gold")
          to effect such sale.  That arrangement provided for 
          Gold to receive 10,710,000 shares of the Company's
          common stock in exchange for the Pemco assets, giving
          Gold 87% of the outstanding shares of the Company after
          the transfer.  Gold held a portion of the shares,
          amounting to 19% of the shares Gold received, or
          2,034,900 shares, for the benefit of Mr. Sablon.  Mr.
          Sablon concurrently agreed to transfer 53% of his
          shares to Mr. Oscar M. Cespedes.

          Pursuant to these arrangements, the assets and
          liabilities of Pemco and the aviation-related assets
          and liabilities of Monarch were transferred to Gold
          and, under Purchase Agreements entered into on
          December 31, 1986 and in August of 1987, effective as
          of April 30, 1987, such assets were then transferred to
          the Company.  Said Agreements were filed as Exhibits
          10.4 and 10.5 to the Issuer's Form 10-K dated April 30,
          1987 filed with the Commission on August 13, 1987 and
          incorporated herein by reference.  The 10,710,000
          shares received as consideration for the Pemco assets
          comprised 87% of the Company's outstanding stock after
          consummation of the transaction.  These shares had a
          fair market value on December 31, 1986, the date of
          transfer, of $.33 per share, or an aggregate of
          $3,534,300.  The consideration paid by the Company for
          the Monarch aviation assets was the assumption of the
          Monarch aviation-related liabilities.  The purchase
          price of the Pemco assets, 10,710,000 shares of the
          Company's Common Stock, was the result of arms-length
          negotiations between the Board of Directors of the
          Company and Mr. Gold who, at the time of such
          negotiations, was not a member of the Company's Board
          of Directors.

          Mr. Sablon brought three different lawsuits against the
          Company and/or Mr. Gold beginning in 1988, two of which
          were dismissed.  All of the litigation centered around
          Mr. Sablon's allegations that the Company and Mr. Gold
          conspired to deprive Mr. Sablon of a portion of his
          shareholdings in the Company, which allegations were
          vigorously denied by Mr. Gold and the Company.  Mr.
          Sablon sought $30 million in damages plus attorneys'
          fees and other expenses.  Pursuant to the Settlement
          Agreement in Sablon v. Precision Standard, Inc., et
          al., U.S.D.C., S.D.Fla., No. 89-1159-CIV-KING, executed
          June 17, 1993, the Company will pay $1.3 million in
          cash over a period of eighteen months and Mr. Gold
          agreed to transfer 250,000 of his Shares to Mr. Sablon. 
          Also, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Sablon
          agreed to give up any and all claims against the
          Company or Mr. Gold for any other Shares or
          compensation.

          Mr. Gold has an informal arrangement with his adult
          children, Robert Gold who owns 10,000 Shares and
          Kathleen Gold who owns 5,000 Shares, whereby generally
          speaking they will vote their Shares in accordance with
          his directions.

Item 7.   Material to be filed as Exhibits  

          (i) Agreement dated December 15, 1986 between Mr. Gold,
          Mr. Sablon and Mr. Cespedes.

          (ii) Letter dated December 17, 1986 from Mr. Sablon to
          Mr. Gold.
