               AIRPORT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                OCTOBER 31, 1997


1.       Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Airport Systems International, Inc. (the Company) include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ASII International, Inc., a foreign
sales corporation incorporated in Barbados. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the six months ended October 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
April 30, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included in the Airport Systems International Inc. and
Subsidiary annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 1997.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year statements to conform
with the current year presentation.

2.       Notes Payable to Banks

During September, 1997, the Company amended its line of credit to provide for
maximum borrowings of $6,000,000, at an interest rate of prime (8.50% at October
31, 1997), secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. The
agreement matures in September, 1998. There were no outstanding borrowings at
October 31, 1997.

The discussions set forth in this Form 10-QSB may contain forward-looking
comments based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected or
suggested in the forward-looking comments. The difference could be caused by a
number of factors, including, but not limited to the factors and conditions
which are described under the headings "Results of Operations," and "Backlog,"
as well as the competitive and pricing pressures related to all contracts,
either already in the Company's backlog, or which the Company is pursuing.
Further information on the factors that could affect the Company's financial
results are included in the Company's other SEC filings, including the Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended July 31, 1997, and the Form 10-KSB for the year
ended April 30, 1997. The reader is cautioned that the Company does not have a
policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and thus he or she
should not assume that silence by management of the Company over time means that
actual events are bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.


                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 53.6%, to $6.2 million
from $4.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Sales for the first six
months of fiscal 1998 increased 30.0%, to $11.9 million from $9.2 million for
the same period in fiscal 1997. The increase in sales for both periods is due to
an increase in units shipped as a result of a higher beginning backlog.

Gross margin increased to $2.1 million (or 33.6% of sales) in the second quarter
of fiscal 1998 compared to $1.3 million (or 31.5% of sales) in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997. Gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 1998
increased to $3.7 million (or 30.8% of sales) compared to $2.8 million (or 30.7%
of sales) for the first six months of fiscal 1997. Gross margin as a percent of
sales increased during both periods compared to the comparative periods in
fiscal 1997 due to the delivery of higher gross margin products and services as
well as reduced manufacturing costs. The Company expects margins to continue to
fluctuate due to the timing and mix of contract awards and delivery of product
and services.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased during the second
quarter to $1.1 million (18.5% of sales) from $975,000 (24.2% of sales) in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997. For the first six months of fiscal 1998, selling,
general, and administrative expenses increased to $2.2 million (18.5% of sales)
from $2.1 million (22.5% of sales) in the same period of fiscal 1997. The
increase in dollar terms reflects growth associated with increased sales,
backlog, and international marketing opportunities. The decrease as a percent of
sales is due to economies of scale associated with higher sales as certain costs
are fixed in nature.

Research and development expenses increased during the second quarter to
$394,000 from

                                     Page 7

<PAGE>   8



$212,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. In the first six months, research
and development expenses increased to $719,000 from $447,000 for the first six
months of fiscal 1997. The increase for both periods is a result of increased
labor and expenses related to programs designed to enhance the current product
line as well as the continued development of the Company's LADGPS (Local Area
Differential Global Position System).

Other revenue decreased $7,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to
the same period one year ago. This decrease was due to additional expenses
incurred as the result of bank charges and other miscellaneous charges related
to the international operations of the business. For the first six months of
fiscal 1998, total other revenue (expense), including interest expense,
increased $27,000 due to increases in interest income from investments as well
as reduced interest expense from outstanding debt obligations compared to the
prior year period.

Income taxes increased to $169,000 and $240,000 for the second quarter and first
six months of fiscal 1998, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 30.8%.
Taxes for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1997 amounted to
$35,000 and $114,000, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 36.1%, 36.7%
for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to the increase in
pre-tax income while the effective tax rate decrease was due to reductions in
the income tax provision resulting from over-accrued taxes in fiscal 1997.

Net income for the second quarter was $381,000, compared with a fiscal 1997
second quarter net income of $62,000. For the first six months, net income was
$541,000, compared with a net income of $197,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1997. On a per share basis, net income for the quarter was $.16 compared
with $.03 in the prior year second quarter. For the first six months, net income
was $.22 compared with a net income of $.08 for the first six months of fiscal
1997. The per share increase in net income is primarily due to increased sales
and margin, as previously mentioned.


BACKLOG

The Company's backlog was $14.6 million at October 31, 1997, compared to $5.6
million at October 31, 1996, and $19.2 million at April 30, 1997. Approximately
62% of the backlog at October 31, 1997, was represented by three international
contracts for navaids and other equipment and services, with an additional 14%
of the backlog represented by a contract with a domestic airport authority in
the United States and 8% for a contract with the Federal Aviation
Administration. Of the total backlog at October 31, 1997, approximately $8.3
million is expected to be completed and shipped in fiscal 1998 while the
remaining $6.3 million will be completed and shipped in the subsequent fiscal
year.

The decline in backlog, as compared to April 30, 1997, is the result of bookings
not keeping pace with shipments during the first six months. This is primarily
the result of the shipping schedules imposed by the Indonesia and FAA contracts.
During the second quarter, the Company booked

                                     Page 8

<PAGE>   9



orders of approximately $3.3 million which included a contract with Thailand to
provide the Company's LADGPS system which embodies new technology based on
directional signals provided by satellites. Other contracts awarded included
traditional navaid equipment and services to Panama, Taiwan and Cambodia. Other
bids remained active at quarter end, but the Company is unable to determine when
or if the related contracts will be rewarded. The Company expects backlog and
bidding activities as well as contract awards to continue to fluctuate due to
the size and timing of contract programs.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash of $997,000 was used by operations for the first six months of fiscal
1998 compared to $1,755,000 provided in the first six months of fiscal 1997. The
decrease was principally the result of the payment of vendor trade balances and
other accrued expenses, as well as the reduction in customer down payments
during the first six months.

Cash used in investing activities was $620,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 compared to $1,063,000 used in the first six months of fiscal 1997.
The decrease in cash used is primarily the result of short-term investment
purchases of $2.6 million and $2.0 million in short-term investment liquidation
during the current year and the purchase of short-term investments in the prior
year period of $997,000.

Cash used in financing activities was $612,000 in the first six months of fiscal
1998 compared to cash used of $2,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1997. The
increase in net cash used is mainly due to principal payments on notes payable
to banks of $1.4 million with total borrowings from banks totaling $800,000 in
the current year.

The Company expects that it will meet its ongoing requirements for working
capital and capital expenditures from a combination of cash expected to be
generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments, and available borrowings under its existing revolving credit
facility.
