Item 2.  Acquisition of Assets
- ------------------------------

On May 1, 2000, Skagit Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. ("Skagit"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. ("PA&E"), purchased
substantially all of the assets of NOVA-TECH Engineering, Inc. ("Nova-Tech"),
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2000 between
PA&E, Skagit, Nova-Tech and the shareholders of Nova-Tech (the "Agreement").

Pursuant to the Agreement, Skagit paid Nova-Tech $50,000 in cash at closing, and
Skagit assumed or paid off certain liabilities of Nova-Tech at closing. The
purchase price was determined in arms-length negotiations between PA&E and Nova-
Tech. The funds used to pay the purchase price were obtained from working
capital.

Prior to the closing, PA&E was providing services to Nova-Tech under an
Operating Agreement dated April 23, 1999. As of February 29, 2000, PA&E had
loaned $2.5 million to Nova-Tech for working capital. These loans were made
under the terms of two demand notes dated April 26, 1999 and August 5, 1999. The
loans were each secured by substantially all of the assets of Nova-Tech. No
other material relationship existed between Nova-Tech and PA&E or any
affiliates, officers, directors or associates of PA&E.

Nova-Tech is a full service engineering firm of licensed professional engineers,
who specialize in turn-key design and build, machine designs, engineering
research and development, and total system engineering. Nova-Tech designs and
builds high productivity tools, fixtures, and machines for the aerospace
industry. PA&E currently plans to continue Nova-Tech's operations as part of
PA&E's U.S. Aerospace Group - Engineering & Fabrication Division.
