1.   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by
     the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the
     interim financial statements.  Such adjustments are of a normal and
     recurring nature.  The results of operations for the period ended
     September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
     results expected for the full year.  The interim financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
     and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on
     Form 10-K.

3.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income
     by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
     during the periods.  Diluted EPS was computed by dividing net income
     by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and the
     dilutive effects of the shares awarded under the Company's Stock
     Option Plan, based on the treasury stock method using an average fair
     market value of the stock during the respective periods.

     The following table represents the net income per share calculations
     for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

     stock related to September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively were

     option exercise price was greater than the average market price of
     the shares.

</TABLE>

     During 2000 the Company has maintained a $20.0 million revolving
     credit facility which matures on August 31, 2001.  Borrowing
     availability under the facility is tied to percentages of accounts
     receivable and inventory and, as a result of certain subordination
     provisions, cannot exceed $17.0 million.  There was $6.5 million
     available under the credit facility at September 30, 2000, based on
     the calculation which defines the borrowing base.  Interest on the
     revolving credit facility accrues at prime rate plus 3.5% with
     provisions for both reductions in the interest rate based on specific
     operating performance targets and increases related to certain events
     of default.

     On November 2, 2000, the Company entered into new credit facilities
     which will be used to pay off and terminate the existing facility.
     The new facilities consist of a $20.0 million revolving credit
     facility, two term loans totaling  $5.0 million in the aggregate, and
     a capital equipment acquisition facility of $3.1 million.  At the
     Company's option, subject to meeting certain pre-defined conditions
     and obtaining the lender's approval, it may borrow an additional $1.9
     million as a discretionary loan.  The new facilities have an initial
     three-year term, which term may be extended for up to two additional
     one-year periods upon mutual agreement of the parties.  The revolving
     credit facility, the capital equipment acquisition facility and one
     of the term loans ($2.9 million) bear interest at prime rate plus
     0.5%.  The other term loan ($2.1 million) and the discretionary loan
     bear interest at prime rate plus 0.75%.

     The Company has the option, prior to December 31, 2001, to convert up
     to $1.9 million of the revolving credit facility into additional
     availability under the capital equipment facility, bringing its total
     up to $5.0 million, or to fold the $3.1 million capital equipment
     facility into the revolving credit facility, bringing its total up to
     $23.1 million.  Borrowing availability under the revolving credit
     facility is tied to percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
     inventory.  Under the capital equipment facility, borrowing
     availability is tied to a percentage of the value of certain capital
     assets acquired since January 1, 2000 and capital assets that are
     acquired in the future.  All of the new facilities have provisions
     for increases in the interest rate during any period when an event of
     default exists.

     The $2.1 million term loan will be repaid over 24 installments
     commencing on November 30, 2000.  The $2.9 million term loan will be
     repaid based on a 5-year amortization schedule commencing on November
     30, 2002 with a balloon payment of the remaining balance upon the
     termination of the credit facility. Upon the Company borrowing the
     entire amount of the available capital equipment acquisition facility
     or on October 31, 2001, which ever occurs first, the Company will
     commence repayment of the amounts borrowed based on a 5-year
     amortization schedule with a balloon payment of the remaining balance
     upon the termination of the credit facility. The discretionary loan,
     if borrowed, will be repaid commencing the month after it is borrowed
     based on 24 installments with a balloon payment of the remaining
     balance upon the termination of the credit facility.

     The Company's Senior Subordinated Debt is being repaid over five
     equal quarterly installments which commenced on August 31, 2000, with
     a final payment due on June 30, 2001.

     The above loans are collateralized by substantially all of the assets
     of the Company and have various covenants which limit or prohibit the
     Company from incurring additional indebtedness, disposing of assets,
     merging with other entities, declaring dividends, or making capital
     expenditures in excess of certain amounts in any fiscal year.
     Additionally, the Company is required to maintain various financial
     ratios and minimum net worth amounts.

5.   CONTINGENCIES

     United States Government Contracts

     The Company, as a U.S. Government contractor, is subject to audits,
     reviews, and investigations by the government related to its
     negotiation and performance of government contracts and its
     accounting for such contracts.  Failure to comply with applicable
     U.S. Government standards by a contractor may result in suspension
     from eligibility for award of any new government contract and a
     guilty plea or conviction may result in debarment from eligibility
     for awards.  The government may, in certain cases, also terminate
     existing contracts, recover damages, and impose other sanctions and
     penalties.  The Company believes, based on all available information,
     that the outcome of any U.S. Government audits, reviews, and
     investigations will not have a materially adverse effect on the
     Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or
     cash flows.

     LITIGATION

     Pemco World Air Services A/S Bankruptcy and Sterling Lawsuit

     The Company has been involved in certain bankruptcy litigation since
     1997 relating to the Company's Danish subsidiary, Pemco World Air
     Services A/S (Pemco World).  As previously reported, during the
     quarter ended June 30, 2000 the Company made the $2.25 million of
     escrow payments called for in its March 28, 2000 settlement agreement
     with Sterling Airways A/S and the bankruptcy trustees of Pemco World.
     The escrowed amounts could only be released to the trustees upon
     their satisfaction of certain conditions.  These conditions included,
     among other things, that the trustees must obtain releases from all
     of the Danish subsidiary's unsecured creditors that are asserting
     claims in excess of $100,000 on or before October 5, 2000.

     On October 4, 2000 the Company received notice from the bankruptcy
     trustees that they had received releases from all of the Pemco
     World's unsecured creditors that were asserting claims in excess of
     $100,000 and that the trustees had no knowledge of written claims, or
     demands for payment, or threats of litigation against the Company
     from the remaining unsecured creditors. Based upon this notification,
     on October 19, 2000, the Company released the $2.25 million held in
     the escrow account. The Company has adopted a wait and see approach
     as to the possible actions, if any, of the remaining unsecured
     creditors whose claims were under $100,000 and who were not required
     to affirmatively release the Company prior to release of the escrowed
     funds.  The Company will vigorously defend any claim brought by
     creditors of the Danish subsidiary not released in connection with
     the settlement agreement.

     Government Lawsuit

     On October 13, 1998, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S.
     District Court, Northern District of Alabama seeking to compel the
     United States Air Force to reopen for competition a KC-135 PDM
     contract awarded to the McDonnell Douglas subsidiary of Boeing and
     to enforce the General Accounting Office (GAO) decision in favor of
     the Company which stated that the manner in which the contract was
     put up for bids violated the Competition in Contracting Act by
     unduly restricting competition.  On October 5, 1999, the Court
     issued a summary judgment in favor of McDonnell Douglas. While the
     Company continues to believe that the GAO correctly decided the
     issue, it determined that pursuing the complaint further was not
     necessarily in its best interests.  Accordingly, in the interest of
     promoting a better relationship with one of its primary customers,
     the Company filed a motion for dismissal with the court to end this
     litigation. The motion was granted on July 7, 2000.

     GATX Lawsuit

     The Company's Pemco Aeroplex subsidiary, successor to Hayes
     International, is a defendant in several suits seeking damages and
     indemnity for claims arising from an Airworthiness Directive issued
     by the FAA.  That Directive restricts the cargo capacity of Boeing
     747 aircraft converted pursuant to a Supplemental Type Certificate
     (STC) for such conversions.  Hayes International had performed
     engineering for the development of the STC.  Certain of the suits
     also allege fraud, misrepresentation and violations of the
     Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. During the
     third quarter of 2000 the parties involved in the dispute came to
     an agreement on nine of the ten aircraft involved. A trial is
     currently scheduled for January 2001 on the remaining aircraft.
     Management believes that the result of this lawsuit will not have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
     position or results of operations.

     Employment Lawsuits

     On December 9, 1999 the Company and its Pemco Aeroplex subsidiary
     were served with a purported class action in the U.S. District Court,
     Northern District of Alabama, seeking declaratory, injunctive relief
     and other compensatory and punitive damages based upon alleged
     unlawful employment practices of race discrimination and racial
     harassment by the Company's managers, supervisors, and other
     employees.  The complaint seeks damages in the amount of $75 million.
     On July 27, 2000 the U.S. District Court, Northern District of
     Alabama determined that the group would not be certified as a class.
     The Company has acted promptly with respect to any specific complaint
     by any employee, and will continue to vigorously defend any
     litigation resulting from this case.  The EEOC has filed a complaint
     on its own behalf and is expected to be consolidated into the case.

     Other

     In addition to the above, the Company is involved in various legal
     proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  Management
     does not believe the ultimate outcome of all such litigation will
     have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
     financial position or results of operations.

6.   INCOME TAXES

     The Company establishes a valuation allowance for its deferred income
     taxes unless realization is considered more likely than not.  As a
     result of the Company's losses during 1997, the Company provided a
     valuation allowance through its tax provision to fully reserve for
     its deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997.  In 1998, 1999 and
     during the first nine months of 2000, the Company returned to
     profitability and generated taxable income for which net operating
     loss carry-forwards were utilized.  During the second quarter of 2000
     the Company decreased its valuation allowance through its tax
     provision to restore approximately $2.1 million to deferred tax
     assets. The net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2000 reflect
     that portion of total deferred taxes which management considers will
     more likely than not be realized through future taxable income.

7.   CLAIMS

     The Company as a Government Contractor utilizes the U.S. Government's
     Request For Equitable Adjustment (REA) process as provided by the
     Federal Acquisition Regulation when it seeks to recover costs from
     the Government due to Government caused delays, errors in
     specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in
     dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of
     unanticipated additional costs. The Company recognizes revenue on
     these claims if, (1) there is a legal basis for the claim, (2) the
     additional costs are caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at
     the contract date, (3) the costs associated with the claim are
     identifiable or otherwise determinable in view of the work performed,
     and, (4) the evidence supporting the claim is objective and
     verifiable. The amount of revenue recognized is management's best
     estimate of the amount it will be able to realize based upon the
     claim. During the third quarter of 2000 the Company recognized $1.0
     million of revenue associated with claims pertaining to one of its
     contracts with the U.S. Government.

8.   SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
     Enterprise and Related Information, at December 31, 1998 which
     changed the way the Company reports information about its operating
     segments.  The Company has provided this segment information for the
     three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September
     30, 1999.

     The Company has three reportable segments: Government Services Group,
     Commercial Services Group, and Manufacturing and Overhaul Group.  The
     Government Services Group, located primarily in Birmingham, Alabama,
     provides aircraft maintenance and modification services for the
     government and military customers.  The Commercial Services Group,
     located in Dothan, Alabama, and Victorville, California provides
     commercial aircraft maintenance and modification services on a
     contract basis to the owners and operators of large commercial
     aircraft. (During the third quarter of 2000 the Company made the
     decision to close its Victorville, Ca. facility and concentrate its
     commercial Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations in
     Dothan, Al.) The Manufacturing and Overhaul Group, located in
     California and Florida, designs and manufactures a wide array of
     proprietary aerospace products including various space systems, such
     as guidance control systems and launch vehicles; aircraft cargo-
     handling systems; and precision parts and components for aircraft.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
     described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the
     audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates
     performance based on total (external and intersegment) revenues,
     gross profits and operating income.  The Company accounts for
     intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to
     third parties, that is at current market prices. The Company does not
     allocate income taxes, interest income and interest expense to
     segments. The amount of intercompany profit is not material.

     The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that
     offer different products and services.  They are managed separately
     because each business requires different operating and marketing
     strategies.  However, the Commercial and Manufacturing and Overhaul
     segments may generate sales to Governmental entities and the
     Government segment may generate sales to commercial entities.

     During the quarter the Company restated $1.2 million of international
     sales previously reported in the Commercial Services Group to the
     Manufacturing and Overhaul Group. The restatement had no effect on
     overall sales or earnings for the Company.

ITEM 2.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

In the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed a new five-year
contract with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers (IAM). The new contract represents an increase in term over the
previous three-year contract. The new agreement calls for wage increases
over the life of the contract and increases in pension benefits.

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company reported operating income of
approximately $3.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million over the same
period of 1999.  Total income before taxes for the third quarter of 2000
was approximately $2.6 million vs. $1.8 million for the same period in
1999. During the first nine months of 2000, the Company reported operating
income of approximately $9.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million over the
same period of 1999.  Total income before taxes for the first nine months
of 2000 was approximately $7.0 million vs. $6.8 million for the same
period in 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2000
versus three months ended September 30, 1999

Revenues from operations for the third quarter of 2000 were lower than the
third quarter of 1999, decreasing 12.0% from $45.9 million in 1999 to
$40.4 million in 2000.  Government segment sales increased approximately
26.5% from $23.4 million in 1999 to $29.6 million in 2000.  Commercial
segment sales decreased 57.9% from $15.9 million in 1999 to $6.7 million
in 2000.  Sales in the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased 33.8%
from $6.8 million in 1999 to $4.5 million in 2000.  The Company's overall
mix of business between government and commercial customers moved from
49.2% commercial and 50.8% government in 1999 to 27.4% commercial and
72.6% government in 2000.

Government segment sales in the third quarter of 2000 increased
approximately $6.2 million. $5.2 million of this amount was due primarily
to increases in deliveries and sales under the Birmingham facility's KC-
135 and C-130 contracts. $1.0 million was due to a Request for Equitable
Adjustment (REA) pertaining to an element of the KC-135 contract.

Commercial segment sales decreased $9.2 million under commercial aircraft
maintenance/modification contracts at the Dothan and Victorville
facilities. During the third quarter of 2000 the Company made the decision
to close its Victorville, Ca. facility and concentrate its commercial
Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations in Dothan, Al.

Sales of the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased $2.3 million
principally due to lower sales in both the Space Vector operating unit and
at Pemco Nacelle (whose operations were curtailed at the end of the first
quarter of 2000).

Cost of sales decreased during the third quarter from $36.9 million in
1999 to $32.4 million in 2000.  The ratio of cost of sales to net sales
decreased, slightly, from 80.5% in the third quarter of 1999 to 80.3% in
2000.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased from $5.5
million in the third quarter of 1999 to $5.0 million in 2000.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased, slightly, as a percentage
of revenue from 12.0% in the third quarter of 1999 to 12.3% during the
same period of 2000. During the third quarter of 2000 the Company
continued its overall corporate restructuring focusing in particular on
developing an improved corporate legal structure, pursuing a new and
increased credit facility, and implementing new compensation packages for
the Company.

Interest expense was $0.8 million in third quarter of 1999 versus $0.6
million in 2000.  The average interest rate in the third quarter of 2000
on the revolving credit facility was 13.0% as compared to 11.6% during the
third quarter of 1999. The lower interest charge in the third quarter of
2000 is a result of the Company borrowing less money against its revolving
credit facility and making the first payment, of a total of five, on its
Senior Subordinated Debt.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000
versus nine months ended September 30,1999

Revenues from operations for the first nine months of 2000 grew slightly
over the first nine months of 1999, increasing 1.6% from $125.5 million in
1999 to $127.5 million in 2000.  Government segment sales increased
approximately 28.9% from $64.7 million in 1999 to $83.4 million in 2000.
Commercial segment sales decreased 25.7% from $41.0 million in 1999 to
$30.4 million in 2000.  Sales in the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment
decreased 28.7 % from $20.2 million in 1999 to $14.4 million in 2000.  The
Company's overall mix of business between government and commercial
customers moved from 48.6% commercial and 51.4% government in 1999 to
34.9% commercial and 65.1% government in 2000.

Government segment sales in the first nine months of 2000 increased
approximately $18.7 million.  Of this amount $17.7 was due primarily to
increases in deliveries and sales under the Birmingham facility's KC-135
and C-130 contracts. $1.0 million was due to a Request for Equitable
Adjustment (REA) pertaining to an element of the KC 135 contract.


Commercial segment sales decreased $10.5 million under commercial aircraft
maintenance/modification contracts at the Dothan and Victorville
facilities. During the third quarter of 2000 the Company made the decision
to close its Victorville, Ca. facility and concentrate its commercial
Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations in Dothan, Al.

Sales of the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased $5.8 million
principally due to lower sales in both the Space Vector operating unit and
at Pemco Nacelle (whose operations were curtailed at the end of the first
quarter of 2000), partially offset by slightly higher sales at Pemco
Engineers.

Cost of sales increased during the first nine months of the year growing
from $100.0 million in 1999 to $103.2 million in 2000. The ratio of cost
of sales to net sales increased from 79.7% in the first nine months of
1999 to 80.9% in 2000. Most of this increase is attributable to the
Commercial segment which experienced losses on several aircraft delivered
during the second quarter, a slow down of work during the second and third
quarters, and minimal margins on its final deliveries of H-3 helicopters
during the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $14.9 million
in the first nine months of 1999 to $15.3 million in 2000. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased
from 11.8% for the first nine months of 1999 to 12.0% during the same
period of 2000.

Interest expense was $2.4 million in the nine months ending September 30 of
1999 versus $2.0 million for the same period in 2000. The average interest
rate in the first nine months of 2000 on the revolving credit facility was
12.6% as compared to 11.4% during the first nine months of 1999. The lower
interest charge during 2000 is a result of the Company borrowing less
money against its revolving credit facility and making the first payment,
of a total of five, on its Senior Subordinated Debt.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash resources showed significant improvement over the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  In the first nine months of 2000 the
Company generated cash from operating activities of $13.2 million vs.$6.6
million during the same period of 1999.

The following is a discussion of the significant items in the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 2000.

The Company's pension expense as determined by its actuary is $1.1 million
for 1999 and 2000.  In the first nine months of 1999 and 2000, the Company
made no contributions to the pension plan and expensed approximately $0.9
million.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $3.3 million from $35.0
million at December 31, 1999 to $31.6 million at the end of the first nine
months of 2000.  During the same period of 1999 accounts payable and
accrued expenses increased $4.5 million.  There was no accrued interest
payment at September 30, 2000 a decrease of $0.2 million over the amount
due at September 30, 1999.

Accounts receivable decreased $5.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, dropping from $21.1 million at December 31, 1999 to
$16.1 million at September 30, 2000. During the same period of 1999
accounts receivable increased $2.1 million. Net inventories decreased $1.1
million during the first nine months of 2000. In 1999 net inventories grew
by $4.9 million during the same period.

During the first three quarters of 2000, the Company significantly
increased the cash used in investing activities, spending approximately
$6.7 million, primarily on leasehold improvements and capital assets whose
acquisition had been deferred during prior years. In 1999 the Company
invested $2.2 million in the same period.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had open borrowing capacity under its
lines of credit of $6.5 million versus $4.5 million at September 30, 1999.
On November 2, 2000 the Company entered into new credit facilities which
will be used to pay off and terminate the existing facility as described
in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

During 1999 and 2000, inflation and changing prices have had no
significant impact on the Company's net sales or revenues or on income
from continuing operations.

BACKLOG

The following table presents the Company's backlog (in thousands of
dollars) at September 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                       $134,505       $186,272
                                       ========        =======
</TABLE>

As of September 30, 2000, 89.4% of the Company's backlog related to work
for the U.S. Government versus 90.5% for the period ended September 30,
1999.  The Company's Government backlog decreased $48.4 million as
compared to the first nine months of 1999.  Of this amount $30.0 million
represents the Company ceasing to include its estimated share of the Space
Vector operating unit, of the Manufacturing & Overhaul Group, - CTTS
Program in its reported backlog.  The Government Services Group's backlog
is lower by $5.2 million primarily related to increased deliveries of
aircraft under the KC-135 contract offset partially by increased backlog
for the C-130 paint program. The completion of the AIT II contract at the
Company's Space Vector operating unit accounts for $5.8 million of the
year to year reduction and the remaining $7.4 million is due to the
winding down of the Commercial Services Group's H-3 Helicopter program.
Overall Commercial backlog decreased $3.4 million. Most of this reduction
is in the Commercial Services Group and represents weaker than anticipated
orders during the first nine months of 2000.  This decrease in the
Commercial Services Group was offset, partially, by an increase in backlog
of $1.9 million at the Pemco Engineers operating unit of the Manufacturing
and Overhaul Group. Based upon recent business development activities, it
is management's opinion that both Government and Commercial backlog will
increase in the coming months, although there can be no assurance as to
the magnitude of any such increase, or that such increase will occur at
all.

ITEM 3.

        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates as
part of its normal operations.  The Company maintains various debt
instruments to finance its business operations.  The debt consists of
fixed and variable rate debt.  The variable rate debt is related to the
Company's revolving line of credit as described in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements herein and bears interest at prime plus
3.5% with provisions for both reductions in the interest rate based on
specific operating performance targets and increases related to certain
events of default (13.0% at September 30, 2000).  If the prime rate
increased 100 basis points, the effect on net income would approximate a
$76,000 reduction in net income on an annual basis, $19,000 for the third
quarter of 2000.
