-7-
<PAGE>
(SFAS) NO. 115, "ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY
SECURITIES". HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES ARE RECORDED AT AMORTIZED COST.
AMORTIZATION OF RELATED DISCOUNTS OR PREMIUMS IS INCLUDED IN THE
DETERMINATION OF NET INCOME.
3. INCOME TAXES:
DURING 1995, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CONTINUED OPERATIONS OF ITS INTEREST
CHARGE-DOMESTIC INTERNATIONAL SALES CORPORATION (IC-DISC) SUBSIDIARY'S
ELECTION WAS NO LONGER ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, THE TAX
ELECTION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WAS DISCONTINUED AND ITS RETAINED EARNINGS OF
APPROXIMATELY $3,200,000 WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THE COMPANY. REGULATIONS
PROVIDE FOR THE TAXATION OF SUCH DISTRIBUTION OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD IN
EQUAL ANNUAL INCREMENTS OF APPROXIMATELY $320,000 PER YEAR. UPON THE
ASSUMPTION THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS IS PROFITABLE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINING
SEVEN YEARS OF THE TEN YEAR PERIOD, EXCLUDING SUCH INCREMENTAL INCOME,
THE AGGREGATE INCOME TAX PAYABLE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF SUCH DISTRIBUTION
WILL APPROXIMATE A MAXIMUM OF $860,000. INTEREST WILL NO LONGER ACCRUE
ON THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE TAX AMOUNT.
4. PREFERRED STOCK:
THE COMPANY HAS 500,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK, NO PAR
VALUE, THAT MAY BE ISSUED AT SUCH TERMS AND PROVISIONS AS DETERMINED BY
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. NONE ARE OUTSTANDING.
5. STOCK OPTIONS:
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 THE COMPANY HAD AUTHORIZED 100,000 SHARES FOR
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. NONE HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
6. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
IN FEBRUARY 1997, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (THE "FASB")
ISSUED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ("SFAS") NO. 128,
"EARNINGS PER SHARE" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 SIMPLIFIES THE STANDARDS FOR
COMPUTING EARNINGS PER SHARE AND IS EFFECTIVE FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR BOTH INTERIM AND ANNUAL PERIODS ENDING AFTER DECEMBER 15, 1997.
EARLIER APPLICATION IS NOT PERMITTED. THE ADOPTION OF SFAS 128 IS NOT
EXPECTED TO HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S PREVIOUSLY REPORTED
EARNINGS PER SHARE.
IN JUNE 1997, THE FASB ISSUED SFAS NO. 130, "REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME" (SFAS NO. 130"). SFAS NO. 130 ESTABLISHES STANDARDS FOR
REPORTING AND DISPLAY OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND ITS COMPONENTS IN THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SFAS NO. 130 IS EFFECTIVE FOR FISCAL YEARS
BEGINNING AFTER DECEMBER 15, 1997. RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR EARLIER PERIODS PROVIDED FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES IS
REQUIRED. SUNAIR IS IN THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING ITS PREFERRED FORMAT.
THE ADOPTION OF SFAS
-8-
<PAGE>
NO. 130 WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON SUNAIR'S CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL POSITION OR CASH FLOWS.
IN JUNE 1997, THE FASB ISSUED SFAS NO. 131, "DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS
OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION" ("SFAS NO. 131"). SFAS NO. 131
ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR THE WAY THAT PUBLIC BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
REPORT INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS IN ANNUAL FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND REQUIRES THAT THOSE ENTERPRISES REPORT SELECTED
INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS IN INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTS ISSUED
TO SHAREHOLDERS. IT ALSO ESTABLISHES STANDARDS FOR RELATED DISCLOSURES
ABOUT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, GEOGRAPHIC AREAS, AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS. SFAS
NO. 131 IS EFFECTIVE FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEARS BEGINNING
AFTER DECEMBER 15, 1997. FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURES FOR PRIOR
PERIODS ARE REQUIRED TO BE RESTATED. SUNAIR IS IN THE PROCESS OF
EVALUATING THE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS. THE ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 131
WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON SUNAIR'S CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
FINANCIAL POSITION OR CASH FLOWS.
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
THE CARRYING AMOUNTS OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE,
LOANS PAYABLE, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED INCOME TAXES PAYABLE
APPROXIMATE FAIR VALUE DUE TO THE SHORT MATURITY OF THE INSTRUMENTS AND
RESERVES FOR POTENTIAL LOSSES, AS APPLICABLE.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY:
----------
DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31,
1998, THE COMPANY MAINTAINED CASH AND SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS MORE THAN
ADEQUATE TO COVER KNOWN REQUIREMENTS, UNFORESEEN EVENTS OR UNCERTAINTIES
THAT MIGHT OCCUR. DURING THE SIX MONTH PERIOD, CASH AND SHORT TERM
INVESTMENTS MAINTAINED AN AVERAGE BALANCE OF $1,248,000, COMPARED TO AN
AVERAGE BALANCE OF $1,277,000 FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30,1997 OR AN AVERAGE BALANCE OF $1,626,000 FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS ARE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET
FUNDS THAT ARE READILY AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE USE SHOULD THE OCCASION
ARISE. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE COMPANY WILL REMAIN AS LIQUID DURING
THE REST OF FISCAL 1998. INVENTORIES CONTAIN NO OBSOLESCENCE AS
ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE AS THEY OCCUR. ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
CONTAIN NO BAD DEBTS. INTERIM RESERVES ARE MAINTAINED TO COVER
CANCELLATION CHARGES UNPAID AND ANY FREIGHT CHARGE DISPUTES. ALL
MONETARY TRANSACTIONS ARE IN U.S. DOLLARS AND NO LETTERS OF CREDIT
INVOLVE FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
CAPITAL RESOURCES:
------------------
DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, THE COMPANY
EXPENDED $128,575 FOR CAPITAL ASSETS. NO EXPENDITURES ARE CONTEMPLATED
FOR PLANT EXPANSION OR EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE. THE COMPANY HAS NO LONG
TERM DEBT AND NONE IS CONTEMPLATED OTHER THAN THE LEASE OF THE COMPUTER.
LIABILITIES CONSIST OF CURRENT ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND EXPENSES RELATED TO
THE CURRENT ACCOUNTING PERIOD AND THE CAPITAL LEASE.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
----------------------
DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31,
1998, SHIPMENTS WERE $1,221,003 UP FROM $1,148,170 FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997. SHIPMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
WERE $2,369,173, UP FROM $1,002,860, OR 136.2% FOR THE SAME PERIOD ONE
YEAR AGO AND UP $368,801 OR 18.4% FROM THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996. EXPORT SHIPMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 WERE
$552,217 OR 23.3% OF TOTAL SALES, UP $138,171 OR 33.4% FROM THE SAME
PERIOD ONE YEAR AGO. DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE
CURRENT FISCAL YEAR WERE $1,816,956 OR 208.6% AHEAD OF SHIPMENTS FOR THE
SAME PERIOD ONE YEAR AGO OF $588,814.
-10-
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: (CONTINUED)
----------------------
SHIPMENTS FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS WERE HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME
DUE TO ORDERS RECEIVED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 1997 WHICH
RESULTED IN A BACKLOG AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 OF $1,796,000. THE BACKLOG
FOR THE QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998 ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 WAS $426,000.
NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE FOR CONTRACTS WITH BOTH DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL
CUSTOMERS. THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT FUTURE
REQUIREMENTS EVEN THOUGH THE PROCUREMENT CYCLE CONTINUES TO BE EXTREMELY
LONG. NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITIES ARE BEING PURSUED IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND
OTHER GEOGRAPHIC AREAS NOT COVERED PREVIOUSLY AND THE COMPANY IS
OPTIMISTIC FOR INCREASED BUSINESS FOR THESE AREAS.
AS DISCUSSED IN OUR REPORT ON FORM 10K FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997, GMDSS (GLOBAL MARINE DISTRESS AND SAFETY SYSTEM) CAPABILITY
HAS BEEN ADDED TO OUR PRODUCT LINE TO ADDRESS FUTURE REQUIREMENTS
MANDATED FOR THE YEAR 1999 AND BEYOND. THIS PRODUCT WAS DEVELOPED BY THE
COMPANY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $60,000.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES DECREASED $167,804 FROM THE SAME
PERIOD ONE YEAR AGO DUE TO DECREASED PERSONNEL AND DECREASED R&D
EXPENSES. THE DIRECT LABOR FORCE CONTINUES AT A REDUCED LEVEL DUE TO
SUFFICIENT INVENTORY LEVELS IN FINISHED GOODS.
THE COMPANY HAS INVESTIGATED THE PENDING YEAR 2000 PROBLEM AND
DETERMINED THE ISSUE WILL NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON ITS BUSINESS
OPERATIONS OR ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION. THE COMPANY DOES, HOWEVER, PLAN
TO REPLACE OLDER SOFTWARE WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART SOFTWARE IN THE YEAR
1999 FOR MORE EFFICIENT OPERATIONS AND INVENTORY CONTROL. THE COST FOR
THIS PROJECT IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY $75,000.
