AEROSONIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) JULY 31, 2002
NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to form 10-Q of
regulation S-X. 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 three months ended July 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 2003.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2002.
NOTE B—BUSINESS
Aerosonic Corporation
(“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in l969, and in l970 merged with a Florida company (formerly known as “Aerosonic Corporation”). As used herein, unless the context requires otherwise,
“Aerosonic” or the “Company” includes Aerosonic Corporation and its operating subsidiary, Avionics Specialties, Inc.
The Company is principally engaged in one business segment: The manufacture of aircraft instruments (“Instruments”). The Company consists of three geographical locations and four operating divisions. The divisions
are the Clearwater, Florida Instrument Division (“Clearwater Instruments”), the Aerosonic Wichita, Kansas Division (“Kansas Instruments”), Avionics Specialties, Inc. (“Avionics”), a Virginia Corporation wholly owned by
the Company and Precision Components Division (“Precision Components”).
Clearwater Instruments was
started in 1953 and primarily manufactures Altimeters, Airspeed Indicators, Rate of Climb Indicators, Microprocessor Controlled Air Data Test Sets, and a variety of other flight instrumentation. Kansas Instruments is the source inspection location
for our Wichita customers and is the primary location for Clearwater Instruments’ repair business. Avionics was a division of Teledyne Industries, Inc. prior to its acquisition by Aerosonic Corporation in January 1993. Avionics maintains three
major product lines in the aircraft instrument segment: 1) Angle of Attack (“AOA”)/Stall Warning Systems; 2) Integrated Multifunction Probe (IMFP), an integrated air data sensor; and 3) Engine Vibration Monitoring System (EVMS), an
aircraft health and usage monitor. In August 1998, the Company formed a new division entitled Precision Components, to perform precision high volume machining of mechanical components, which was not significant to operations in fiscal year 2002,
2001 or 2000.
6
NOTE C—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS 143), requires the recognition of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is correspondingly increased. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present
value and the related capitalized charge is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management expects that there will be no impact on the Company’s reported operating
results, financial position and existing financial statement disclosure from the adoption of SFAS 143.
In August
2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), was issued. This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and broadens the definition of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how results of a discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. At July 31, 2002, there was no impact on the Company’s reported operating results, financial position, and existing financial statement disclosure from the adoption of SFAS 144.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 146, “Accounting for Exit or
Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted
for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring”. The scope of SFAS 146 also includes (1) costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time
benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Early application is encouraged.
The Company is in the process of analyzing any potential effect of applying this new standard.

NOTE F—COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES
The Company remains involved in litigation with its former President and Chief Executive Officer, David Goldman and his company Mil-Spec
Finishers, Inc. The Case was originally scheduled to go to trial in June of 2001. However, Mr. Goldman and Mil-Spec Finishers filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on May 25, 2001. Accordingly, all actions pending in the litigation were automatically stayed
pursuant to the bankruptcy code. The Company has elected to pursue Mr. Goldman and Mil-Spec Finishers, Inc. in the Bankruptcy Court.
Additionally, from time to time the Company can be involved in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, at this time there are no claims or legal actions that
will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations
Company wide net sales for the second quarter and year-to date equaled $5,948,000 and $12,135,000, respectively, as compared with $7,431,000 and $13,953,000 in the second
quarter and year-to-date, respectively, of last year. Sales decrease was partly attributed to a large sale to a long-standing OEM customer in the second quarter ended July 31, 2001 and partly to a reduction of certain traditional product lines.
Production capacity was reallocated to new upcoming contracts and programs during the quarter.
Gross profit for
the quarter was $2,039,000, or 34% of net sales, versus $2,863,000 or 38% of net sales during the prior year period. For the six months ended July 31, 2002, gross profit was $4,151,000, or 34% of net sales, versus $5,181,000, or 37% of net sales in
the prior year period. The decline in gross margin for the quarter and year to date is due largely to increased development costs.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG & A) expenses decreased during the second quarter ended July 31, 2002 to $1,711,000 as compared to $2,160,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was
attributed primarily to reduced legal expenses. As a percentage of net sales SG& A was 29% as compared to 29% during the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense decreased to $59,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2002 from $86,000 during the same period in the preceding year. This reduction is due primarily to reduced outstanding debt and
lower interest rates.
For the second quarter ended July 31, 2002 the Company recorded a net income of $126,000 or
$0.03 per share, compared to a net income of $376,000, or $0.10 per share during the same period in the preceding year.
Working capital equaled $12,665,000 at July 31, 2002 and the Company’s current ratio approximated 3.9:1. Cash flow provided by operations was $82,000 through the second quarter ended July 31, 2002. Company management anticipates
that cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and the availability under the Company’s line of credit arrangement will be sufficient to fund future growth.
