ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On October 30, 2000, Airport Systems International, Inc. announced that it has
been awarded navaid contracts in the United States, Asia and Africa for a total
value of $7.0 million. In the largest of the contracts, prime contractor SAIC
has issued a subcontract to replace up to 136 instrument landing system
localizer antennas. The first phase includes delivery and installation of five
systems over the next four months. The second phase includes options for an
additional 131 systems to be delivered over 12 months. These systems will be
installed at U.S.A.F. bases in the U.S. and throughout the world.
The other U.S. contracts include orders to supply the FAA with twenty-eight (28)
Portable Instrument Landing System Receivers (PIRs) and an ILS to the Red Wing,
Minnesota airport. The contracts in Asia and Africa are for very high-frequency
omni-range (VOR) and distance measuring (DME) equipment. The Company expects to
ship a significant portion of these contracts in the second and third fiscal
quarters.
FORWARD LOOKING COMMENTS
The discussions set forth in this Form 8-K 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 in
the Company's other SEC filings, including the Form 10-KSB for the year ended
April 30, 2000. 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.
