============= ================
</TABLE>

The industrial development revenue bonds represent bonds issued by
Broward County, Florida in 1996 (Series 1996 bonds) and in 1988 (Series 1988
bonds), and bonds issued by Manatee County, Florida in 1997 (Series 1997A and
Series 1997B bonds).

The Series 1997A and 1997B bonds were issued in the amounts of
$3,000,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, for the purpose of constructing and
purchasing equipment for a new facility in Palmetto, Florida. As of April 30,
1997, the Company has been reimbursed $80,000 for such expenditures, and the
balance of the unexpended bond proceeds of $3,920,000 is held by the trustee and
is available for future qualified expenditures. The Series 1997A and 1997B bonds
are due March 2017 and bear interest at variable rates calculated weekly (4.70%
and 5.65%, respectively, at April 30, 1997). The 1997A and 1997B bonds are
secured by a letter of credit expiring in March 2004 and a mortgage on the
related properties pledged as collateral. The letter of credit requires annual
sinking fund payments with a fair market value of $200,000 beginning in March
1998.

The Series 1988 and Series 1996 bonds bear interest as of April 30,
1997, at 4.60% and 4.70%, respectively.

As of April 30, 1997, unexpended proceeds of the Series 1996 bonds of
$1,410,000 are held by the trustee and is available for future qualified
expenditures.

In February 1997, the Company's equipment loan facility was extended
through December 1997. In addition, the amendment, among other things, increased
the amount of available funds to $2,000,000.

-7-
The term loan borrowings and equipment loans bear interest as of April
30, 1997 at 8.75% and 9.00% respectively.

4. The fiscal 1996 net income from discontinued operations represents the
Company's former subsidiary, MediTek Health Corporation, which was sold in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 at a gain of $5,264,000 (89 cents per share).

5. Net income per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period plus common share
equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive, and
has been adjusted for the effect of any stock dividends and stock splits.

6. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the six months
ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

Cash paid for interest was $178,000 and $137,000 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $2,654,000 and $1,228,000 in 1997
and 1996, respectively.

7. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based method
of accounting for stock options. Entities may elect to either adopt the
measurement criteria of the statement for accounting purposes, thereby
recognizing an amount in results of operations on a prospective basis, or
disclose the pro forma effects of the new measurement criteria in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company intends to adopt the pro forma
disclosure features of SFAS No. 123, which are effective for fiscal year 1997.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS
No. 128). SFAS No. 128 changes the method in which earnings per share will be
determined and is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, of SFAS
No. 128 on its earnings per share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 1997 second quarter net income of $1,640,000 ($.26 per share) increased
153% over fiscal 1996 second quarter net income from continuing operations of
$647,000 ($.11 per share) and net income in the first half of fiscal 1997 of
$3,234,000 ($.51 per share) increased 164% over net income from continuing
operations of $1,225,000 ($.21 per share) in the first half of fiscal 1996.

For the second quarter of fiscal 1997, net sales totaled $13,552,000,
representing a 71% increase over net sales from continuing operations of
$7,942,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. In the first half of fiscal
1997, net sales rose 86% to $27,819,000, up from net sales from continuing
operations of $14,920,000 in the first half of last year.

The improved fiscal 1997 earnings are primarily attributable to increased sales
and gross margins discussed below as well as the addition of the newly acquired
Ground Support operations.

Net sales of the Company's Flight Support operations increased 15% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1996 and rose
20% in the first half of fiscal 1997 versus the first half of fiscal 1996. The
increases from fiscal 1996 to 1997 are principally due to increased sales
volumes of jet engine replacement parts to the Company's commercial airline
customers.

Net sales of the Company's Ground Support operations totaled $4,456,000 for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 and $9,937,000 in the first half of fiscal 1997,
all of which represented sales of Trilectron Industries, Inc. (Trilectron), a
business acquired in September 1996.

The Company's Flight Support operations had a backlog which totaled
approximately $23 million as of April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996, and
approximately $14 million as of October 31, 1996. The current backlog increased
from October 31, 1996 principally due to certain customers entering into longer
term contracts which replaced shorter term purchase orders. Substantially all of
this backlog of orders is expected to be delivered within twelve months.

-9-
The Company's Ground Support operations had a backlog totalling $13 million at
April 30, 1997. This is an 18% increase over the October 31, 1996 backlog
balance of $11 million and is principally due to receipt of a contract
approximating $4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 covering deliveries
expected to begin in fiscal 1997 and continue into fiscal 1998.

The Company's gross profit margins for the second quarter of fiscal 1997
averaged 33.5% as compared to gross profit margins averaging 34.2% in the same
period of fiscal 1996. Gross profit margins averaged 33.3% in the first half of
fiscal 1997, which approximated the 33.8% average gross profit margins in the
first half of fiscal 1996. These reflect an improvement in gross margins in the
Flight Support operations, partially offset by inclusion of the newly-acquired
Ground Support operations. Sales of ground support equipment generally carry
lower profit margins than those of the Company's Flight Support operations. The
improvement in margins in the Flight Support operations reflects volume
increases in sales of higher margin products and manufacturing cost
efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter and
the first half of fiscal 1997 increased $602,000 and $1,712,000, respectively,
over amounts in the second quarter and the first half of fiscal 1996. The
increase from fiscal 1996 is due principally to increased selling expenses by
the Flight Support operations and the SG&A expenses of Trilectron. As a
percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses improved to 18.1% of consolidated
net sales in the second quarter and 18.6% of consolidated net sales in the first
half of fiscal 1997, down from 23.4% and 23.1% in the comparable three-month and
six-month periods of fiscal 1996.

Income from operations, which totaled $2,079,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 and $4,113,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1997, increased
$1,218,000 and $2,527,000 respectively, over the same three-month and six-month
periods of last year. These increases reflect the increase in sales and gross
margins of Flight Support operations and the addition of the Ground Support
operations as discussed above.

Interest and other income in the second quarter and the first half of fiscal
1997 increased $265,000 and $469,000, respectively, over the same periods in
fiscal 1996. These increases are principally due to interest income on the
convertible note received from the sale of MediTek in July 1996 and higher cash
balances available for investment.

The Company's effective tax rate totaled 32.1% for the first half of fiscal 1997
and 34.0% in the first half of fiscal 1996.

-10-
The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate is principally due to the tax
benefit received from an increase in foreign sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first six months of fiscal 1997, net cash used in operating
activities was $134,000, reflecting net income of $3.2 million offset primarily
by increases in inventories of $3.0 million required to meet increased sales and
faster customer delivery requirements and a decrease in Federal and state income
taxes attributable to estimated tax payments made.

The Company's principal investing activities during the first six months of
fiscal 1997 were purchases of property, plant and equipment of $2,325,000
including $1,191,000 related to the Series 1996 industrial development revenue
bond project.

The Company's principal financing activities during the first half of fiscal
1997 were $1,585,000 in proceeds of long-term debt including $1,295,000 in
reimbursements for qualified expenditures from above referenced Series 1996
industrial development revenue bonds and $788,000 representing the receipt of
funds from the exercise of stock options.

As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
contained herein, industrial development revenue bonds in the amount of
$4,000,000 were issued by Manatee County, Florida, to be used to construct and
equip a new Trilectron manufacturing facility in Palmetto, Florida. As of April
30, 1997, unexpended bond proceeds of $3,920,000 were available for qualified
expenditures of the Trilectron facility and unexpended bond proceeds of
$1,410,000 were available for qualified expenditures of the Series 1996
industrial development revenue bond project of HEICO Aerospace.

The revolving portion of the Company's $7,000,000 credit facility, which was to
expire in April 1997, was renewed by mutual agreement until June 30, 1997. In
addition, amounts available under the Company's equipment loan facility (See
Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) were increased to
$2,000,000 and extended to December 1997.

There have been no other material changes in the liquidity or the capital
resources of the Company since the end of fiscal 1996.
