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
     June 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:

     stock related to June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively were excluded

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

</TABLE>

     The Company maintains a $20 million revolving credit facility which
     matures on August 31, 2000. The credit facility automatically renews
     for one year in August unless cancelled by either the Lender or the
     Borrower with 90 days notice.  Neither the Borrower nor Lender gave
     notice of cancellation during the required time period. 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 $1.4 million
     available under the credit facility at June 30, 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.  The Company is currently working with its lender to
     negotiate a new three year credit facility.

     All scheduled principal amortization for the Senior Subordinated loan
     has been deferred for the original 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 August 31, 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.  The Company was in violation
     of some of these covenants at June 30,2000, which violation has been
     waived by the lender as part of the new loan negotiation.

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

     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).  During the quarter ending 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 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), paid in March of 2000, 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 not released in connection with
     the settlement agreement.

     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.

     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 consolidated financial position
     of 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 an
     additional 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 half 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 June 30, 2000 reflect that
     portion of total deferred taxes which management considers will more
     likely than not be realized through future taxable income.

7.   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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 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.  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 launching 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. 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.

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 second quarter of 2000, the Company reported operating income
of approximately $1.6 million, a decrease of $2.1 million over the same
period of 1999.  Total income before taxes for the second quarter of 2000
was approximately $0.5 million vs. $2.9 million for the same period in
1999. During the first six months of 2000, the Company reported operating
income of approximately $6.1 million, a decrease of $1.0 million over the
same period of 1999.  Total income before taxes for the first six months
of 2000 was approximately $4.5 million vs. $5.0 million for the same
period in 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Revenues from operations for the second quarter of 2000 grew from the
second quarter of 1999, increasing 17.6% from $39.7 million in 1999 to
$46.7 million in 2000.  Government segment sales increased approximately
48.7% from $18.9 million in 1999 to $28.1 million in 2000.  Commercial
segment sales decreased 4.7% from $14.8 million in 1999 to $14.1 million
in 2000.  Sales in the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased 24.2%
from $6.2 million in 1999 to $4.7 million in 2000.  The Company's overall
mix of business between government and commercial customers moved from
23.3% commercial and 76.7% government in 1999 to 31.5% commercial and
68.5% government in 2000.

Government segment sales in the second quarter of 2000 increased
approximately $9.2 million due primarily to increases in deliveries and
sales under the Birmingham facility's KC-135 and C-130 contracts.

Commercial segment sales increased $4.6 million under commercial aircraft
maintenance/modification contracts at the Dothan and Victorville
facilities but decreased $5.3 million in government related H-3 helicopter
sales.

Sales of the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased $1.5 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 increased during the second quarter from $32.6 million in
1999 to $39.0 million in 2000.  The ratio of cost of sales to net sales
increased from 82.0% in the second quarter of 1999 to 83.6% in 2000. Most
of this increase is attributable to the Commercial segment which
experienced losses on several aircraft delivered during the quarter and
minimal margins on its deliveries of H-3 helicopters.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased from $3.5
million in the second quarter of 1999 to $6.1 million in 2000.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue
increasing from 8.7% in the second quarter of 1999 to 13.0% during the
same period of 2000. During the second quarter of 2000 the Company
continued its overall corporate restructuring, which began in the third
quarter of 1999, recruiting and adding key executives, developing an
improved corporate legal structure, pursuing a new and increased credit
facility, and developing compensation packages for the Company.

Interest expense was $0.7 million in second quarter of 1999 versus $1.0
million in 2000.  The average interest rate in the second quarter of 2000
on the Revolving Credit facility was 12.75% as compared to 11.25% during
the second quarter of 1999.

Six months ended June 30, 2000
versus six months ended June 30,1999

Revenues from operations for the first half of 2000 grew over the first
half of 1999, increasing 9.5% from $79.6 million in 1999 to $87.2 million
in 2000.  Government segment sales increased approximately 30.3% from
$41.3 million in 1999 to $53.8 million in 2000.  Commercial segment sales
decreased 5.6% from $25.1 million in 1999 to $23.7 million in 2000.  Sales
in the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased 26.1% from $13.4
million in 1999 to $9.9 million in 2000.  The Company's overall mix of
business between government and commercial customers moved from 30.9%
commercial and 69.1% government in 1999 to 30.0% commercial and 70.0%
government in 2000.

Government segment sales in the first six months of 2000 increased
approximately $12.5 million due primarily to increases in deliveries and
sales under the Birmingham facility's KC-135 and C-130 contracts.

Commercial segment sales increased $2.9 million under commercial aircraft
maintenance/modification contracts at the Dothan and Victorville
facilities. This increase in Commercial revenue was offset by decreases of
$4.3 million in government related H-3 helicopter sales.

Sales of the Manufacturing and Overhaul segment decreased $3.5 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 six months of the year growing
from $63.1 million in 1999 to $70.8 million in 2000. The ratio of cost of
sales to net sales increased from 79.3% in the first half of 1999 to 81.2%
in 2000. Most of this increase is attributable to the Commercial segment
which experienced losses on several aircraft delivered during the second
quarter and minimal margins on its deliveries of H-3 helicopters.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $9.4 million
in the first six months of 1999 to $10.3 million in 2000. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant
at 11.8% for the first half of 1999 and 2000.

Interest expense was $1.6 million in six months ending June 30 of 1999
versus $1.5 million for the same period in 2000. The average interest rate
in the first half of 2000 on the Revolving Credit facility was 12.47% as
compared to 11.25% during the first six months of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash resources showed significant improvement over the six
months ended June 30 1999.  In the first half of 2000 the Company
generated cash from operating activities of $8.3 million vs. using cash of
$0.9 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 quarters ended June 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 half of 1999 and 2000, the Company made
no contributions to the pension plan and expensed approximately $0.6
million.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $4.3 million from $35.0
million at December 31, 1999 to $30.7 million at the end of the first half
of 2000.  During the same period of 1999 Accounts payable and accrued
expenses increased $4.0 million.  Accrued interest payments at June 30,
2000 were $0.0 million representing a decrease of $0.2 million over that
due at June 30, 1999.

Accounts receivable decreased $5.7 million in the six months ended June
30, 2000, dropping from $21.1 million at December 31, 1999 to $15.4
million at the end of the first half. During 1999 accounts receivable
increased $4.6 million. Net inventories had a slight decrease during the
first six months of $0.5 million. In 1999 net inventories grew by $6.1
million during the same period.

During the first half of 2000, the Company significantly increased the
cash used in investing activities, spending approximately $4.3 million,
primarily on leasehold improvements and capital assets whose acquisition
had been deferred during prior years. In 1999 the Company invested $1.1
million in the same period.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had open borrowing capacity under its lines
of credit of $1.4 million. At June 30, 1999 the Company was over its
borrowing capacity by $0.7 million.

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 June 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                       ========        =======
</TABLE>

As of June 30, 2000, 92% of the Company's backlog related to work for the
U.S. Government versus 87% for the period ending June 30, 1999.  The
Company's Government backlog decreased $39.6 million as compared to the
first half of 1999.  Of this amount, approximately $26.0 million is in the
Government segment and is primarily related to increased deliveries of
aircraft under the KC-135 contract coupled with a lower level of aircraft
input during the first half. The completion of the AIT II contract at the
Company's Space Vector operating unit accounts for $6.7 million of the
year to year reduction and the remaining $6.5 million is due to the
winding down of the Commercial segment's H-3 Helicopter program. Overall
Commercial backlog decreased $13.2 million. Most of this reduction is in
the Commercial Segment and represents weaker than anticipated orders
during the first half of 2000.  Based upon recent business development
activities, it is management's opinion that both Government and Commercial
backlog will increase in the coming months.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the information under the captions "Business" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report 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.  Such forward-looking
statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company's best
judgment based on current information.  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.  Such factors include
those identified from time to time in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements.

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 herein and bears interest at prime 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 (13.0% at June 30, 2000).  If the prime rate increased 100 basis
points, the effect on net income would approximate a $76,500 reduction in
net income on an annual basis, $19,100 for the second quarter of 2000.

          Effective May 23, 2000, the Company completed a change in its
state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware.  As a result of this
change in state of incorporation, the constituent instruments defining the
rights of holders of the Company's common stock have changed from Colorado
instruments to Delaware instruments.  The Company is now governed by a
Certificate of Incorporation filed in the State of Delaware, a copy of
which is attached to this Form 10-Q as Exhibit 3.1, and by Delaware
Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this Form 10-Q as Exhibit 3.2.  In
addition, the rights of holders of common stock of the Company are now
governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law rather than by the
corporate law of the State of Colorado.
