   3.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

           Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
        average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
        periods.  Diluted 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 Stock Option
        plan and stock warrants, 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 months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

        respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted

        than the average market price of the shares.

           The Company maintains a $20 million revolving credit facility
        which matures in August of 2000. Borrowing availability under
        the facility is tied to percentages of accounts receivables and
        inventory and, as a result of certain subordination provisions,
        cannot exceed $17 million.  There was $4.0 million available
        under the credit facility at March 31, 2000, based on the
        calculation which defines the borrowing base.  Interest on the
        revolving credit facility accrues at prime rate plus 1.5% with
        provisions for both reductions in the interest rate based on
        specific operating performance targets and increases related to
        certain events of default. Interest is accrued and charged to
        the loan balance on a monthly basis.

           All scheduled principal amortization for the Senior
        Subordinated loan has been deferred for the three-year term of
        the revolving credit facility.  The Senior Subordinated loan
        will be repaid over five installments commencing on August 31,
        2000, due each subsequent quarter through 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.  As a result of its net worth and capital
        expenditures made during 1999, the Company was in violation of
        such covenants at March 31, 2000.  However, the Company's
        primary lender waived the financial debt covenant violations at
        March 31, 2000.

   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 the U.S.
        Government's 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

           In November 1997, the Maritime and Commercial Court in
        Copenhagen, Denmark granted the request of a supplier to place
        the Company's Danish subsidiary, Pemco World Air Services A/S,
        in bankruptcy.  Trustees were appointed to operate the Danish
        subsidiary's facility.  On September 30, 1998, the Company
        received notice from the bankruptcy estate that the trustees
        would assert a claim in the amount of approximately $2 million
        against the Company for the alleged negative equity of the
        Danish subsidiary.  The trustees based this claim on certain
        undertakings entered into by the Company in favor of the Danish
        subsidiary in 1996 and 1997.  The trustees allege that pursuant
        to these undertakings the Company guaranteed the obligations of
        the Danish subsidiary. The Company was subsequently informed
        that additional claims were filed by creditors against the
        bankruptcy estate and that the aggregate amount of claims filed
        against the bankruptcy estate exceeds $15 million.

           On October 9, 1998, the Company was served with a complaint
        filed by Sterling Airways A/S in bankruptcy ("Sterling") in the
        District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado
        alleging breach of contract.  The complaint alleges that the
        Company expressly guaranteed certain payments for parts and
        materials supplied by Sterling to the Danish subsidiary.  The
        complaint seeks damages of approximately $1.4 million plus costs
        and interest.  On November 2, 1998, the Company filed a motion
        to dismiss the complaint which was denied by the court on
        January 13, 1999.  On January 24, 2000, Sterling filed a motion
        for summary judgment on liability and partial damages which was
        denied by the court on March 23, 2000.

           On March 28, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement
        agreement with Sterling and the Danish subsidiary's bankruptcy
        trustees pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a total of
        $3.5 million by May 31, 2000 in settlement of the Sterling
        litigation and all claims the trustees may have against the
        Company under the undertakings.  Of the $3.5 million settlement
        amount, $2.25 million will be placed in an escrow account and
        can only be released to the trustees upon their satisfaction of
        certain conditions.  These conditions include, 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.  If
        the trustees are unable to obtain these releases or certain
        other events occur, the Company may, at its option, terminate
        the settlement agreement as to the Danish subsidiary's
        bankruptcy trustees and obtain a refund of the $2.25 million
        held in the escrow account.  In such an event, the portion of
        the settlement payment not placed in the escrow account ($1.25
        million) would be applied to settle the Sterling litigation and
        the Danish subsidiary's trustees and creditors would retain any
        and all claims they may have against the Company.  The Company
        would vigorously defend any such claims and, in any event,
        intends to vigorously defend any claim brought by creditors of
        the Danish subsidiary that do not release their claims in
        connection with the settlement agreement.

           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
        consolidated financial position of results of operations.

   6.   SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

           The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS
        OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, at December 31, 1998
        which changes the way the Company reports information about its
        operating segments.  The Company has provided this segment
        information for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,
        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.
        The Manufacturing and Overhaul Group, located in California,
        Colorado and Florida, designs and manufactures a wide array of
        proprietary aerospace products including various space systems,
        such as guidance control systems and launching vehicles;
        aircraft cargo-handling systems; and precision parts and
        components for aircraft.  For reporting purposes, segments other
        than government, commercial and manufacturing and overhead are
        combined as an other segment.  These additional segments perform
        support services for the three main business segments.

           The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
        described in the summary of significant accounting policies. 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.

      The following table presents information about segment profit or loss
     for the quarter ending March 31, 2000:

   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.

   During the first quarter of 2000, the Company reported operating
   income of approximately $4.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million
   over the same period of 1999.  Total income before taxes for the
   first quarter of 2000 was approximately $4.0 million vs $2.0 million
   for the same period in 1999.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Three months ended March 31, 2000
   versus three months ended March 31, 1999

   Revenues from operations for the first quarter of 2000 grew slightly
   from the first quarter of 1999, increasing 1.5% from $39.9 million in
   1999 to $40.5 million in 2000.  Government segment sales increased
   approximately 14.7% from $22.4 million in 1999 to $25.7 million in
   2000.  Commercial sales decreased 4.9% from $10.1   million in 1999
   to $9.6 million in 2000.  Sales in the Manufacturing and Overhaul
   segment decreased 27.8% from $7.2 million in 1999 to $5.2 million in
   2000.  The Company's mix of business between government and
   commercial customers moved from   43.7% commercial and 56.3%
   government in 1999 to 36.6% commercial and 63.4% government in 2000.

   Government segment sales in the first quarter of 2000 increased
   approximately $3.3 million due primarily to increases in sales under
   the Birmingham facility's KC-135 and C-130 contracts.

   Commercial segment sales in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $0.5
   million under aircraft maintenance/modification contracts at the
   Dothan and Victorville facilities.

   Sales of the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment in the first quarter
   of 2000 decreased $2.0 million principally due to lower sales in the
   Space Vector and Pemco Nacelle operating units.

   Cost of sales increased during the first quarter from $30.5 million
   in 1999 to $31.8 million in 2000.  The ratio of cost of sales to net
   sales increased from 76.6% in the first quarter of 1999 to 78.4% in
   2000.


   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $5.9
   million in the first quarter of 1999 to $4.2 million in 2000.
   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a
   percentage of revenue going from 14.8% in its first quarter of 1999
   to 11.5% during the same period of 2000.

   Interest expense was $0.4 million in first quarter 2000 versus $1.0
   million in 1999.  The average interest rate in the first quarter of
   2000 on the Revolving Credit facility was 12.19% as compared to
   11.25% during the first quarter of 1999.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company's cash resources showed significant improvement over the
   first quarter of 1999.  In the first quarter of 2000 the Company
   generated cash from operations of $0.2 million vs. using cash of $1.5
   million during the first quarter of 1999.

   The following is a discussion of the significant items in the
   Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarters
   ending March 31, 2000 and 1999.

   The Company's pension expense as determined by its actuary for the
   year 2000 is $1.1 million as compared to $1.1 million in 1999.  In
   the first quarter of 2000, the Company made no contributions to the
   pension plan and expensed approximately $0.3 million.  In the first
   quarter of 1999, the Company made no contributions to the pension
   plan and expensed approximately $0.3 million.

   Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $0.3 million from
   $35.0 million at December 31, 1999 to $35.3 million at the end of the
   first quarter of 2000.  Accrued interest payments at March 31, 2000
   were $0.2 million representing no increase over that due at March 31,
   1999.

   Accounts receivable decreased $2.0 million in the first quarter of
   2000 while net inventories increased $6.9 million.  The increase in
   inventories is primarily related to increases in work-in-process
   under the Government segment's KC-135 contract and various contracts
   in the Commercial segment.

   During the first quarter of 2000, the Company used $1.5 million in
   investing activities vs. $0.3 million in the same period of 1999.

   At the end of the first quarter of 2000, the Company had open
   borrowing capacity under its lines of credit of $4.0 million vs.
   being over its borrowing capacity by $0.7 million at March 31, 1999.

   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 March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                      2000              1999
                                      ----             ----

        U.S. Government             $147,565          $172,644
        Commercial                    10,588            28,691
                                    --------         ---------
                                    $158,153          $201,335

   As of March 31, 2000, 93% of the Company's backlog related to work
   for the U.S. Government versus 86% for the period ending March 31,
   1999.  The Company's U.S. Government backlog decreased $25.0 million
   primarily related to increased deliveries of aircraft under the KC-
   135 contract coupled with a lower level of aircraft input during the
   quarter under the same contract and a lower government backlog in the
   Manufacturing & Overhaul segment.

   FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

   Some of the information under the caption Item 2, "Management's
   Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
   Operations", and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are
   forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements
   include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's
   plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, award of contracts,
   the outcome of pending or future litigation, estimates of backlog and
   other statements contained in this Quarterly Report that are not
   historical facts.  When used in this Quarterly Report, the words
   "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
   "estimates" and similar expressions are generally intended to
   identify forward-looking statements.  Because these forward-looking
   statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important
   factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
   those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
   These factors are discussed in greater detail under the caption,
   "Factors that may affect future performance", in the Company's Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


   ITEM 3.

         QUANTATIVE 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 noted in Note 4 to the
   Consolidated Financial Statements and bears interest at prime plus
   1.5% (12.3% at March 31, 2000).  If the prime rate increased 100
   basis points, the effect on net income would approximate a $130,000
   reduction in net income on an annual basis, $33,000 for the quarter.
