policies described in its 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998 and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at December 
31, 1998 and for all periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The results of
operations for the period ended December 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     Organization

     SETECH, Inc.(a Delaware corporation, and the "Company") is a 
provider of integrated supply/inventory management services, general 
line industrial distribution services, as well as job shop machining, 
engineering products and services, to a variety of industries including 
automotive, aviation, and medical.

     Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
SETECH, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lewis Supply Company, 
Inc. ("Lewis"), a Delaware corporation, S.E.T.C. DE Mexico, CETECH de 
Mexico, and Southeastern Technology, Inc. ("Southeastern")a Tennessee 
corporation.  References to the Company in these notes include SETECH, 
Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.  All significant 
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.

     Revenue and Expense Recognition

     The Company maintains contracts with its customers to procure and
manage tooling, supply and proprietary spare parts inventories under 
various terms.  The Company's contracts are generally from three to five 
years in length with renewal provisions for subsequent periods.
Management expects to renew the Company's existing contracts for periods 
consistent with the remaining renewal options allowed by the contracts 
or other reasonable extensions.  Certain contract revenues include fixed fee
and reimbursed expenses only.  As a result of the terms of certain contracts, 
products purchased and sold to those customers cannot be recognized as the 
Company's revenue or related costs.  These sales, "product pass through", 
totaled  approximately $3.1 million for the three and six months ending 
December 31, 1998.

     Credit Risk and Concentration of Activities

     A significant number of the Company's customers are in the aviation,
automobile and medical instrument industries.  Approximately 27% of the
Company's total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1998, 
were to customers in the automobile industry.  Trade accounts receivable
at December 31, 1998 include approximately $7.5 million due from these same
automotive customers.

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").  SFAS 
130 establishes standards of reporting for comprehensive income and its 
components in a full set of financial statements.  SFAS 130 is effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted 
SFAS 130 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Such adoption did not have 
a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of 
operations or cash flows.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and 
Related Information" ("SFAS 131").  SFAS 131 requires public companies 
to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable 
operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim 
financial reports issued to shareholders.  The Company will be required 
to adopt the provisions of this statement in the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1999.  Management is evaluating this standard and determining if 
the Company will be required to revise its current methods of reporting 
financial data.

     In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued 
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up 
Activities" ("SOP 98-5").  SOP 98-5 requires the costs of start-up 
activities and organizational costs, as defined, to be expensed as 
incurred.  SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1998.  Management does not expect the adoption to have a 
material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial 
condition or cash flows.

     Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the 
year.
 
     Diluted net income per share reflects the effect of common 
shares contingently issuable upon conversion of convertible debt 
securities in periods in which such conversion would cause dilution and 
the effect on net income of converting the debt securities.

     3.     PUTTABLE STOCK AND SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT

            A.     All of the Company's common stock issued and to be issued in 
connection with the acquisition of Lewis is subject to a Shareholders' Agreement
the "Agreement").  Under the terms of the Agreement, the shareholder has the
option to require the Company to repurchase the shares at a price of $2.00 per
share if the Company has not effected a public offering of the company's common 
stock on a major stock exchange prior to April 30, 2000, or in the event of a 
change in control of the Company (as defined in the Agreement).  In conjunction 
with the resignation of this shareholder as an employee, the Agreement was
amended to expire 180 days after employment cessation which occurred on
September 7, 1998.  On February 10, 1999, the Company received notice from the 
shareholder of his intention to exercise this option as soon as possible with
respect to all shares so issued and to be issued.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And 
Results Of Operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to
the future of SETECH, Inc and its subsidiaries,(the "Company") (including
certain projections and business trends) that are "forward looking 
statements" as defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 
and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended.  
These forward looking statements include statements regarding the intent, 
belief or current expectations of the Company and its management and involve
risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to 
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward looking 
statements. When used in this Form 10-Q with respect to the Company, the 
words "estimate", "project", "intend", "anticipate", "expect", "foresee", 
"believe", "potential", and similar expressions are intended to identify 
forward looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue 
reliance on these forward looking statements, which speak only as of the 
date hereof. The risks and uncertainties relating to the forward looking 
statements include, but are not limited to, changes in political, 
economic and/or labor conditions; changes in the regulatory environment; 
the Company's ability to integrate its acquisitions; competitive 
production and pricing pressures; as well as other risks and 
uncertainties.

     The following discussion and analysis provides information that 
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of 
the operations and financial conditions of the Company. This discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes presented in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K 
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, and the condensed consolidated 
financial statements and related notes included in the Form 10-Q.

     Revenue for the three months ending December 31, 1998 was $24.9 
million, versus $22.3 million in the three months ending December 
31,1997, an increase of $2.6 million, or 11.5%. The increase in revenues 
primarily resulted from new contracts in the integrated supply 
activities of the Company.  In addition, approximately $3.1 million of products 
were delivered to customers which due to the terms of those contracts cannot be 
included in the company's revenues of related costs.  The contracts resulting 
in this "product pass through" initiated in the three months ending December 31,
1998.  (See footnote 1, Revenue and Expenses Recognition, of the financial 
statements in this Form 10-Q)

     Revenue for the six months ending December 31, 1998 was $49.8 
million, versus $42.7 million in the three months ending December 
31,1997, an increase of $7.1 million, or 16.6%. The increase in revenues 
primarily resulted from new contracts in the integrated supply 
activities of the Company.

     As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending
June 30, 1998, contracts were signed in the fourth quarter to establish 
numerous additional integrated supply sites, with potential annual product 
revenues of up to $150 million, on an annual basis, when fully implemented. 
Implementation of these sites began in the first quarter, and will continue
through fiscal 1999 and 2000. However, no guarantee of future revenues is 
certain, and this increase in operations will require a substantial increase
in working capital (see Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this item).
Please refer to the "Cautionary Statements" presented previously in this 
quarterly report on Form 10-Q, regarding the risks and uncertainties related
to these forward looking statements.

     Gross profit for the three months ending December 31, 1998 was 
$2.9 million (11.6% of revenue), while the same period in the prior 
year was  $1.9 million (8.5% of revenue). The increase in gross profit as a 
percentage of revenues is primarily driven by the revenue recognition, of 
excluding the product pass through involved with the new contracts.  As the 
percentage of revenues derived from the new contracts increases, this trend 
should continue. 

     Gross profit for the six months ending December 31, 1998 was 
$5.1 million (10.2% of revenue), while the same period in the prior 
year was  $4.0 million (9.3% of revenue). 

     General and administrative expenses for the three months ending 
December 31, 1998 were $1.5 million (6.0% of revenues), versus $1.2 
million (4.9% of revenues) in the same period in 1997. The increase as a 
percentage of revenue is driven by the handling of revenue recognition for the 
new contracts.  General and administrative expenses for the six months ending 
December 31, 1998 were $2.6 million (5.2% of revenues), versus $2.3 million 
(5.3% of revenues) in the same period in 1997. General and administrative 
expenses are from the Company's corporate overhead, operation of the Lewis 
Supply distribution centers and operation of Southeastern Technology machine 
shop. (See Item 1: Business, in the Annual report  on Form 10-K for the fiscal 
year ended June 30, 1998.)


     Interest expense for the three months ending December 31, 1998 
was $580,000, versus $512,000 in the same period in 1997 and $1,204,000
versus 985,000 for the six month period. The increase is attributable to 
increased borrowing for inventories and receivables,as a result of the new 
contracts. 

     Income tax provision for the three months ending December 31, 
1998 was $457,000 versus $140,000 in the same period in 1997. The 
effective rate for fiscal 1998 was 51.0% the same as the 
same period in 1997. 

     Income tax provision for the six months ending December 31,
1998 was $716,000 versus $390,000 in the same period in 1997. The 
effective rate for fiscal 1998 was 50.2% as compared to 51.0% in the 
same period in 1997. 

Seasonality And Quarterly Information

     Historically, the Company has not been impacted by any significant 
seasonality issues in earnings, profits, or statement of financial position.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

     The Company's primary source of liquidity in the recent past has 
been borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Net cash used in 
operating activities was $5.7 million in the six months ending 
December 31, 1998, due to the significant growth in accounts receivable for
the integrated supply operations, as compared to net cash used in operating 
activities of $5.0 million in the same period in 1997. Net cash used in 
investing activities in the six months ending December 31, 1998 was 
$829,000, as compared to $279,000 used in the same period of the prior 
fiscal year. This increase is due to investments in computer equipment to
support the installation of new integrated supply sites. Net cash from financing
activities in the quarter, primarily the revolving credit facility, was
$6.5 million, versus $5.2  million in the same six months of the prior fiscal 
year.  This increase was primarily driven by utilization of the facility for
financing of receivables for integrated supply operations. At December 31, 1998,
the Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by 
approximately $32.7 million.

     The Company maintains a secured revolving line of credit with a 
banking institution in the maximum amount of the lesser of $35 million 
or the total of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined in 
the revolving line of credit agreement.   At December 31, 1998, the Company
had approximately $2 million of availability on this line of credit.

     The current and potential expansion of operations with a current customer, 
previously noted has created a requirement for significant investment in 
inventories, up to $150 million, to support that customer. Discussions 
are currently underway for the expansion of the revolving credit line 
and potential acquisition of subordinated debt. Management believes, but 
can give no assurance, that these infusions of debt and equity capital 
will result in sufficient capital to support the Company's existing and 
future operations, but the Company will be required to seek external 
financing sources to support this expansion of its existing lines of 
business. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to 
obtain such financing on reasonable or attractive terms, if at all.

Year 2000 Issue

     The Company's primary information systems are currently compliant 
with year 2000 issues. The costs of these updates are not material and 
the activities have been completed as of December 31, 1998. Any and all future
releases of software will be tested for year 2000 compliance. The key 
customers of the Company are performing their own year 2000 reviews and, to
the knowledge of Company management, are committed to timely completion of 
those efforts. Vendors from which the Company purchases products are diverse
and varied, providing numerous alternatives. Key vendors of the Company are 
performing their own year 2000 reviews and, to the knowledge of Company 
management, are committed to timely completion of those efforts. Due to the
complexity and pervasiveness of the year 2000 issues and the uncertainty 
regarding the compliance of third parties, no assurance can be given that 
successful transition will be achieved by the year 2000 deadline by these 
parties, or that the Company would not suffer material adverse effects on 
its business, financial position or the results of operation if such changes
are not completed.

Impacts Of Inflation 

     Due to the nature of the operations of the Company, management 
believes the impacts of inflation are not material.

                       TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
                              OF SETECH, INC.
____________________________________________________________________

     This Amendment to the Aviation Education Systems, Inc. Incentive Stock 
Option Plan (the "Plan") shall be effective as of the date of approval by the 
Board of Directors of SETECH, Inc(formerly known as Aviation Education Systems, 
Inc.) (the "Company") and the execution hereof 
by the President of the Company.

     1.     Background.  The Company has previously adopted the Plan by due 
action of the Board of Directors of the Company, and the Company has registered 
the Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission by its filing of an S-8
Registration Statement on May 22, 1996, and subsequent to such filing, the 
Company has changed its name from Aviation Education Systems, Inc. to SETECH,
Inc.  The Company is further desirous of amending and modifying the Plan as is 
herein set forth.

     2.     Amendment.  The Plan, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
 Commission, is hereby expressly reconfirmed, and except as is herein amended 
shall be deemed to be in full force and effect.

     2.01   The name of the Plan shall hereinafter be "SETECH, Inc. Incentive 
Option Plan" and all references to "Company" shall hereinafter be deemed to 
refer to "SETECH, Inc."

     2.02     Section 2 of the Plan is hereby amended by the deletion of the
 second sentence thereof and the substitution in lieu thereof of the following:

              Each Committee member shall be ineligible, and shall have been 
ineligible for the one-year period prior to appointment thereto, for selection 
as a person to whom stock options may be granted pursuant to this Plan, and 
shall be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the "1934 Act") 
(or any successor rule of similar import).

     2.03     Section 6.c. is hereby amended by the deletion in the next to the
last sentence of such subsection of the word "fourth," and by substitution in
lieu thereof of the word "first."

     2.04     Section 13 of the Plan is hereby amended and modified by its 
deletion in the entirety and by substitution in lieu thereof of the followin

     13.     Change In Control Provisions.

             a.     In the event of (1) a Change in Control (as defined) or (2)
a Potential Change in Control (as defined), but only if and to the extent so
determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors at or after grant
(subject to any right of approval expressly reserved by the Committee or the
Board of Directors at the time of such determination), the following
acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply:

             (i)    Any stock options awarded under the Plan not 
        previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable 
        and vested.

            (ii)   The value of all outstanding stock options, to the 
        extent vested, shall, unless otherwise determined by the
        Committee in its sole discretion at or after grant but prior to 
        any Change in Control, be cashed out on the basis of the Change
        in Control Price (as defined by the Committee) as of the date such
        Change in Control or such Potential Changein Control is
        determined to have occurred or such other date as theCommittee
        may determine prior to the Change in Control.

        Notwithstanding the previously-stated intention that this Plan
shall grant Incentive Stock Options, if the operation of this provision
results in the optionee's exercise of an option grant and/or the
disposition of stock acquired by the optionee's exercise of an option
prior to the time provided in Code Section 422 for an Incentive Stock 
Option, the tax treatment available under Code Section 422 shall not be 
available to the optionee.

     b.  As used herein, the term "Change in Control" means the 
happening of any of the following:

             (i)    Any person or entity, including a "group" as defined 
         in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act, other than the Company, a 
         subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan of the 
         Company or its subsidiaries, hereafter becomes the beneficial 
         owner of the company's securities having 50 percent or more of 
         the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of 
         the Company that may be cast for the election of directors of 
         the Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities 
         initiated by the Company in the ordinary course of business), or

             (ii)     As the result of, or in connection with, any cash 
         tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, 
         sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the 
         foregoing transactions, less than a majority of the combined 
         voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company 
         or any successor corporation or entity entitled to vote 
         generally in the election of directors of the Company or such 
         other corporation or entity after such transaction, are held in 
         the aggregate by holders of the company's securities entitled to 
         vote generally in the election of directors of the Company 
         immediately prior to such transactions; or

             (iii)     During any period of two consecutive years, 
         individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute 
         the Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at 
         least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination 
         for election by the Company's stockholders, of each director of 
         the Company first elected during such period was approved by a 
         vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Company then 
         still in office who were directors of the Company at the
         beginning of any such period.

     c.  As used herein, the term "Potential Change in Control" means 
the happening of any of the following:

              (i)       The approval by stockholders of an agreement by 
the Company, the consummation of which would result in a Change in
