PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

(a) Business Development

Environmental Tectonics Corporation ("ETC" or the "Company"), a
Pennsylvania corporation, incorporated in 1969, is principally engaged in the
design, manufacture and sale of software driven products used to A) create and
monitor the physiological effects of motion on humans and equipment and B)
control, modify, simulate and measure environmental conditions. These products
include aircrew training systems, entertainment products, sterilizers,
environmental and hyperbaric chambers, and other products which involve similar
manufacturing techniques and engineering technologies.

Since February 26, 1999, there has been no material change in the
Company's mode of conducting business.

(b) Business of the Company

The company operates in two primary business segments, Aircrew Training
Systems and Industrial Group.

Aircrew Training Systems. This segment includes three primary product
groups.

The Company's aircrew training devices are used for medical research,
advanced flight training, and for the indoctrination and testing of military and
commercial pilots. The major devices sold in this product area are commercial
flight simulators, night vision trainers, water survival training equipment,
disorientation training equipment, human centrifuges, ejection seat trainers and
vehicle and tank simulators. The Company provides operation and maintenance
services for installed equipment it manufactures as well as equipment produced
by others.

The Company's entertainment products consist of motion-based simulation
rides and other products.

The Company's Disaster Management Systems line includes real-time
interactive training programs that allow instruction on various disaster
situations.

2



The aircrew training system class of products as a whole represented
75%, 84% and 75% of consolidated revenues of the Company for the years ended
February 25, 2000, February 26,1999 and February 27, 1998, respectively.

Industrial Group. This segment includes three primary product groups:

Sterilizers. The Company manufactures steam and gas sterilizers used
for various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. The Company concentrates
on marketing the larger custom-designed sterilizers to the pharmaceutical and
medical device industries.

Environmental Systems and Other Products. The Company's environmental
systems business consists of the design and fabrication of sampling and analysis
systems, and test equipment and systems. The simulation systems generally
consist of an enclosed chamber with instrumentation and equipment which enable
the customer to control and modify such environmental factors as temperature,
pressure, humidity, wind velocity and gas content to produce desired conditions.
These products include controlled air systems for automotive companies and
environmental chambers

The Company's Hyperbaric line includes monoplace and multiplace
chambers for decompression and wound care applications.

Sales in this class of products were 25%, 16% and 25% of consolidated
revenues of the Company for the years ended February 25,2000, February 26, 1999
and February 27, 1998, respectively.

The Company also provides control operator repair and upgrades and
maintenance service for its own and other manufacturers' equipment.

Marketing

The Company currently markets its products and services primarily
through its sales offices and employees. At February 25, 2000, approximately 19
employees were committed to sales and marketing functions. The Company uses
branch offices in the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Asia as well as the
services of approximately 100 independent sales organizations in seeking foreign
orders for its products.

Product Development

New products and improvements in existing products are being
continually developed in response to inquiries from customers and to
management's determination that particular products should be produced or
significantly improved. Although the Company does not have a separate research
and development group, there are a few technical personnel whose main activity
is the development and integration of new technologies into our existing
products. These personnel include the Vice-President of Engineering and the
Vice-President of New Product Development whose additional activity is the
introduction of product extensions and new applications of existing technology.

Within the Aircrew Training Segment, product development emphasizes
enhancing control systems and software graphics and exploring commercial
possibilities. The Company's product development efforts will be focused on
three areas:

- Disaster Management Simulation. The Company is in
production of a major contract from the City of Chicago
to develop, install and maintain a computer-based
Incident Command Simulator. The company will continue to
explore product applications and extensions to this
Intelligent Virtual Reality product.

- G-force and Disorientation trainers. The Company is
updating all software to a windows based platform.

- Entertainment. The Company is evaluating product
extensions to motion based amusement rides.

On April 16, 1999, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary,
Entertainment Technology Corporation, to handle all of the Company's future
entertainment projects. Product development in this class will emphasize
entertainment applications of our proven ATS simulation technology.

The Company reported research and development costs of $920,000,
$397,000 and $148,000 for the years ended February 25,2000, February 26, 1999
and February 27, 1998, respectively. However, the majority of the Company's
research and development efforts are not separately identified and recorded.
Instead, they are expressed as part of project job costs in the cost of sales.

Supplies

The components being used in the assembly of systems and the parts used
to manufacture the Company's products are purchased from equipment
manufacturers, electronics supply firms and others. To date, the Company has had
no difficulty in obtaining supplies. Further, all raw materials, parts,
components, and other supplies used by the Company in the manufacture of its
products can be obtained at competitive prices from alternate sources should
existing sources of supply become unavailable.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company has no patents or trademarks which it considers significant
to its operations, except a patent on the GYROLAB Spatial Disorientation Trainer
which expires in December 2004.

Customers

In the current year and recent past, it has been the Company's
experience that a substantial portion of sales are made to a small number of
customers that vary within any given year. The Company's business does not
depend upon repeat orders from these same customers. Sales of aircrew training
systems are made principally to U.S. and foreign governmental agencies. Sales of
sterilizers and environmental systems are made to commercial and governmental
entities worldwide.

In fiscal 2000, the Company's major customers included Mend's
International $8,107,000, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense $4,821,000, and
the Walt Disney companies, $3,681,000. These companies do not have any
relationship with the Company other than as customers.

Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

During the years ended February 25,2000, February 26, 1999 and February
27, 1998, approximately $1,587,000 (5%), $1,158,000 (4.0%) and $2,936,000 (10%),
respectively, of the Company's net revenues were attributable to contracts with
agencies of the U.S. Government or with other customers who had prime contracts
with agencies of the federal government.

During the years ended February 25,2000, February 26, 1999 and February
27, 1998, $23,907,000 (69%), $22,876,000 (78%) and $17,490,000 (60%),
respectively, of the Company's net revenues were attributable to export sales or
sales for export. (See Note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements incorporated herein by reference to the Annual Report.) On export
sales, customers' obligations to the Company are normally secured by irrevocable
letters of credit based on the credit worthiness of the Customer.

5


The Company does not believe that the distribution of its sales for any
particular period is necessarily indicative of the distribution expected for any
other period.

A large portion of the Company's sales are under long-term contracts
requiring more than one year to complete. The Company accounts for sales under
long-term contracts on the percentage of completion basis. (See Note 1 to
consolidated financial statements incorporated herein by reference to the annual
report).

The Company's U.S. Government contracts contain standard terms
permitting termination for the convenience of the Government. In the event of
termination of such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive reimbursement
on the basis of work completed (cost incurred plus a reasonable profit),
recording the amounts anticipated to be recovered from termination claims in
income as soon as those amounts can be reasonably determined rather than at the
time of final settlement. All costs applicable to a termination claim are
charged as an offsetting expense concurrently with the recognition of income
from the claim.

Backlog

The Company's sales backlog at February 25, 2000, and February 26,
1999, for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized under written
agreements after such dates was approximately $44,146,000 and $32,141,000,
respectively. In addition, the Company's training and maintenance contracts
backlog at February 25, 2000 and February 26, 1999, for work to be performed and
revenue to be recognized after that date under written agreements was
approximately $1,288,000 and $1,311,000, respectively. Of the February 25,2000
backlog, approximately $38,725,000 is under contracts for aircrew training
systems and maintenance support including $25,755,000 for the Walt Disney
companies. Approximately 64% of the February 25, 2000, backlog is expected to be
completed prior to February 23, 2001.

6


Competition

The Company's business strategy in recent years has been to seek niche
markets in which there are not numerous competitors. However, in some areas of
its business the Company competes with well-established firms, some of which
have substantially greater financial and personnel resources.

Some competitor firms have technical expertise and production
capabilities in one or more of the areas involved in the design and production
of physiological flight training equipment, environmental systems, and other
specially designed products, and compete with the Company for this business. The
competition for any particular project generally is determined by the
technological requirements of the project, with consideration also being given
to a bidder's reliability, product performance, past performance, and price.

The Company faces particularly intense competition from a number of
firms in the sale of hospital sterilizers but faces less competition in the sale
of the larger custom-designed industrial sterilizers.

The Company believes that it is a significant participant in the
markets in which it competes, especially in aircrew training systems in which
the Company believes it is a principal provider of this type of equipment and
training in its market area.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

The Company has not incurred during fiscal 2000 nor does it anticipate
incurring during fiscal 2001 any material capital expenditures to maintain
compliance with Federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations
concerning the discharge of materials into the environment, nor does the Company
anticipate that compliance with these provisions will have a material adverse
effect on its earnings or competitive position.

Employees

On February 25, 2000, the Company had 292 full-time employees, of whom
6 were employed in executive positions, 109 were engineers, engineering
designers, or draftspeople, 67 were administrative (sales, accounting, etc.) and
clerical personnel, and 110 were engaged principally in production and
operations.

Item 2. Description of Property

The Company owns its executive offices and principal production
facilities located on a 5-acre site in the County Line Industrial Park,
Southampton, Pennsylvania in an approximately 70,000 square foot steel and
masonry building. Approximately 55,000 square feet are devoted to manufacturing,
and 15,000 square feet to office space. The original building was erected in
1969 and additions were made in 1973, 1976, 1985 and 1991. This property serves
as collateral for the Company's revolving credit facility. Additionally, the
Company rents office space at various sales and support locations throughout the
world and at its Polish subsidiary.

The Company considers its machinery and plant to be in satisfactory
operating condition. It plans to construct an addition to its main building in
Southampton, PA, in fiscal 2001. Increases in the level of operations beyond
that expected in the current fiscal year might require the Company to obtain
additional facilities and equipment.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of
business have been filed or are pending against the Company. In the opinion of
management, all such matters are reserved for or are adequately covered by
insurance or, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or
involve such amounts as would not have a significant effect on the financial
position of the Company if disposed of unfavorably.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.
