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, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
April 30, 2000. 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, 1999.

2.       Notes Payable to Banks

The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank which expires September
1, 2000. The agreement allows for borrowings up to a maximum of $6,000,000, at
an interest rate of, at the Company's option, either Libor plus 250 basis points
(8.68% at October 31, 1999) or prime plus 25 basis points (9.5% at October
31,1999), secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Borrowings at

4.       Earnings Per Share

Under SFAS No, 128, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income
available to common stockholders by weighted average common shares outstanding.
Fully diluted earnings per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive
securities, including stock options. A reconciliation of the numerators and the
denominators of the basic and diluted per-share computations is as follows:

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
10QSB for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 and the Form 10-KSB for the year ended
April 30, 1999. 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 2000 were up 43% to $4.6 million compared
to $ 3.2 million second quarter of fiscal 1999. Sales for the first six months
of fiscal 2000 were up 11% to $8.9 million compared to $8.0 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1999. The increase in sales for both the quarter and
year to date is due to an increase in units shipped as a result of increased
orders compared to the same period of fiscal 1999.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was 1.3 million (28% of
sales) compared to $568,000 (18%) for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Gross
margin for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $2.7 million (30% of sales)
compared to $2.1 million (27%) for the first six months of fiscal 1999. The
higher gross margins reflect higher sales for both the quarter and the six
months ended October 31, 1999, as well as the shipment of higher gross margin
contracts. In addition , the company has experienced lower production and
installation costs related to its new instrument landing system as compared to
the same periods last year. The company has also experienced lower manufacturing
costs as a result of higher sales volume. The Company expects gross 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 decreased 21% to $930,000 from $
1.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. As a percent of sales, selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased from 36% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
to 20% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2000 decreased 17% to
$1.8 million


                                     Page 8

<PAGE>   9



from $2.2 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. As a percent
of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased from 28% in
the first six months of fiscal 1999 to 20% in the first six months of fiscal
2000. The decrease, as a percent of sales, reflects the fact that though sales
increased in both periods over last year, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased, due primarily to decreased marketing and administrative
expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased during the second quarter of fiscal
2000 to $261,000 from $510,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In the
first six months of fiscal 2000 research and development expenses decreased to
$589,000 from $994,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1999. The decrease for
both periods is a result of decreased labor and expenses related to development
work on the new Category II\III Instrument Landing System. Expenditures made
during the first and second quarter of fiscal 2000 were primarily to obtain FAA
approval of the new system, variants of the new system and approval for FAA
maintenance takeover. Approval of the new system was obtained in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000, while approval of the variants and FAA maintenance take
over was obtained in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

Interest expense increased from$23,000 to $42,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999, and from to $47,000 to
$86,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2000 due to an increase in the
average debt obligations outstanding compared to the prior year period. Other
income decreased to $0 from $23,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000, and
to $0 from $46,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2000, due to a decrease in
interest income resulting from lower average outstanding cash and investment
balances during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

No income tax provision was recorded for the second quarter and the first six
months of fiscal 2000, reflecting the use of net operating loss carryforwards
available to the Company. This compares to estimated tax benefits of $402,000
(36% of the loss before income taxes) and $394,000 (36% of the loss before
income taxes)recorded for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
1999.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $50,000, compared with a
fiscal 1999 second quarter net loss of $713,000. Net income for the first six
months of fiscal 2000 was $134,000, compared with net loss in the first six
months of fiscal 1999 of $700,000. The net income for the three months and six
months ended October 31, 1999 was due primarily to increased sales, higher gross
margins, decreased research and development expenses, and decreased selling,
general and administrative expenses, as previously mentioned.


BACKLOG

The Company's backlog was $1.8 million at October 31, 1999, compared to $6.1
million at October 31, 1998, and $4.9 million at April 30, 1999. Approximately
54% of the backlog at


                                     Page 9

<PAGE>   10



October 31, 1999, was represented by three contracts. The contracts call for
providing navaid and airfield lighting equipment and services to Asia (22% of
backlog), Mexico (21% of backlog) and the Carribean (11% of backlog). The
Company expects to ship substantially all the total backlog through the end of
fiscal 2000.

Though backlog has declined as compared to April 30, 1999, due to bookings not
keeping pace with shipments, orders for the first six months of fiscal 2000 are
up over the same period in fiscal 1999. The Company believes the increase in
bookings due to several factors. First, the demand for navaid products is
improving world wide, based upon the number size of opportunities it is
presently working on. This increase in demand appears to be driven by the
realization of the aviation community that GPS based landing systems will not,
at least in the near-term, be technically capable of replacing traditional ILS
systems as the primary means of approach to landing guidance systems. In
addition it appears that a basic network of VOR (very high omni-range)
transmitters will be required in the enroute navigation structure to augment and
support GPS based navigation systems. Second, the completion of the new Category
II/III ILS and the addition of the airfield lighting line has allowed the
Company to participate in more procurement opportunities in both its traditional
market, and new markets during fiscal 2000. The Company has also improved its
manufacturing processes allowing it to book and ship several orders received
during the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company believes this to be a
significant competitive advantage.

The Company's shift in geographic marketing focus, initiated in fiscal 1999, is
beginning to show positive results as the increase in orders experienced during
the first six months of fiscal 2000 consists primarily of orders from Europe,
Latin America and the Carribean. Though the Company is optimistic about its
prospects for the remainder of fiscal 2000, any delays and or cancellation of
procurement opportunities will negatively impact the Company's revenue during
the third and fourth quarters and could result in operating losses or breakeven
operating results in those quarters. The amount of net income, net losses or the
ability to achieve breakeven operating results, is difficult to ascertain due to
uncertainties in the timing of the receipt of orders. 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 $205,000 million was used by operations for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 compared to $613,000 used in the first six months of fiscal 1999.
The decrease in cash used was primarily due to net income for the year, as
compared to the net loss of the prior year. This was offset by a lower use of
cash resulting from changes in working capital as compared to the prior year
(($506,000 compared to $823,000)).

Cash used in investing activities was $166,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 compared to $362,000 used in the first six months of fiscal 1999.
The decrease is primarily the result of lower purchases of property and
equipment.


                                     Page 10

<PAGE>   11



Cash provided by financing activities was $409,000 in the first six months of
fiscal 2000 compared to cash used of $9,000 in the first six months of fiscal
1999, due primarily to increased short term borrowing.

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 available
borrowing under its existing revolving credit facility.
