operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine month period ended

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in

-------------------------------------------------------
Business - ANG Instruments, a division of Allard Nazarian Group, Inc., (the
- --------

Inc. The Company manufactures and markets four primary product lines: avionics
components and subsystems, inertial sensors, analog panel meters, and digital
panel meters.
Revenue Recognition - Sales are recorded when products are shipped or when
- -------------------
services are performed.
Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
- --------------------
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management is not aware of any specific concentrations that could cause a severe
impact to its operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For the purposes of the consolidated statements of
- -------------------------
cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported on the
- -----------------------------------
balance sheet for cash, receivables, payables, accrued expenses and debt
approximate fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company's exposure to concentrations of
- ----------------------------
credit risk relates primarily to trade accounts receivable. Such exposure is
limited due to the large number of customers and their industry and geographic
dispersion. The Company controls credit risk by performing ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-in, First-out
- -----------
method and Last-in, First-out method) or market and include materials, labor and
manufacturing overhead.

to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
