Regulation Under Federal Aviation Administration : Our Avionics and Aircraft Modifications segments are subject to regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). We manufacture products and parts under FAA Parts Manufacturing Authority (PMA) requiring qualification and traceability of all materials and vendors used by us. We make aircraft modifications pursuant to the authority granted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. We repair aircraft parts pursuant to the authority granted by our FAA Authorized Repair Station. Violation or changes to FAA regulations could be detrimental to our operation in these business segments.Licensing and Regulation under Federal Indian Law: Before commencing gaming operations (Class II or Class III) on Indian Land, we must obtain the approval of various regulatory entities. Gaming on Indian land is extensively regulated by Federal, State and Tribal governments and authorities. Regulatory changes could limit or otherwise materially affect the types of gaming that may be conducted on Indian Land. All aspects of our proposed business operations on Indian Lands are subject to approval, regulation and oversight by the Bureau of Indian Affairs ("BIA"), the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior ("Secretary"), and the National Indian Gaming Commission ("NIGC"). Our management of Class III gaming operations is also subject to approval of a Class III Gaming Compact between the Indian Tribe and the respective state. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, whether Federal, State or Tribal, could result in, among other things, the termination of any management agreements which would have a material adverse effect on us. Management agreement terms are also regulated by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act ("IGRA"), which restricts initial terms to five years and management fees to 30% of the net profits of the casino, except in certain circumstances where the term may be extended to seven years and the management fee increased to 40%. Management agreements with Indian Tribes will not be approved by the NIGC unless, among other things, background checks of the directors and officers of the manager and its ten largest holders of capital stock have been satisfactorily completed. We will also be required to comply with background checks as specified in Tribal-State Compacts before we can manage gaming operations on Indian land. Background checks by the NIGC may take up to 180 days and may be extended to 270 days. There can be no assurance that we would continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals for our proposed gaming operations on a timely basis, or at all. Licensing and Regulation under State of Kansas Law: Our present and future shareholders are and will continue to be subject to review by regulatory agencies. In connection with the our proposed operation of a Class III Indian casino in the territorial boundaries of the State of Kansas, the Company, the appropriate Indian Tribe and the key personnel of all entities may be required to hold Class III licenses approved in the respective state prior to conducting operations. The failure of the Company or the key personnel to obtain or retain a license in these states could have a material adverse effect on the Company or on its ability to obtain or retain Class III licenses in other jurisdictions. Each such State Gaming Agency has broad discretion in granting, renewing and revoking licenses. Obtaining such licenses and approvals will be time consuming and cannot be assured. The State of Kansas has approved pari-mutuel dog and/or horse racing for non-Indian organizations. The State of Kansas operates lottery and keno games for the benefit of the State. There is no assurance that a Tribal/State Compact between the Tribes and the State of Kansas can be completed. If the Compact is not approved, there could be a material adverse effect on our plans for Class III gaming within the territorial boundaries of Kansas. As a condition to obtaining and maintaining our Oklahoma Class III license or any other Class III license, we must submit detailed financial and other reports to the Indian Tribe and the respective federal and state regulatory Agencies ("the Agency"). Any person owning or acquiring 5% or more of the Common Stock of the Company must be found suitable by one or more of the agencies or the Indian Tribes ("the Interest"). Any Agency has the authority to require a finding of suitability with respect to any shareholder regardless of the percentage of ownership. If found unsuitable by any Agency or the Indian Tribe, the shareholder must offer all of the Ownership Interest in Company stock held by such shareholder to the Company for cash at the current market bid price less a fifteen percent (15%) administrative charge and the Company must purchase such Interest within ten days of the offer. The shareholder is required to pay all costs of investigation with respect to a determination of his/her suitability. In addition, regardless of ownership, each member of the board of directors and certain officers of the Company are subject to a finding of suitability by any Agency and the Indian Tribe. |

Narrative Description of Business |
||||
Avcon modifies business-type aircraft in Newton, Kansas. The modifications include aircraft conversion from passenger to freighter configuration, addition of aerial photography capability, stability enhancing modifications for Learjets, and other special mission modifications. Avcon offers avionics, aerodynamic and stability improvement products for selected business jet aircraft. Avcon makes these modifications to customer-owned aircraft and Company owned aircraft for resale. |
||||
The Aircraft Modifications business derives its ability to modify aircraft from the authority granted to it by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). The FAA grants this authority by issuing a Supplemental Type Certificate ("STC") after a detailed review of the design, engineering and functional documentation, and demonstrated flight evaluation of the modified aircraft. The STC authorizes Avcon to build the required parts and assemblies under FAA Parts Manufacturing Authority ("PMA") and to make the installations on applicable aircraft. Aircraft - Acquisition, Modification and Sales We actively purchase airplanes, through our subsidiary Butler National, Inc., principally Learjets. Avcon modifies these planes and then we sell them directly to customers or to brokers. Company owned aircraft are sometimes used to prove the design of the STC modifications during the FAA approval process.
Classic Aviation Products: Our mission is to provide and support economical products for older aircraft, often referred to as "Classic" aircraft. As a result of more than 40 years in the aircraft switching unit business, we recognize the potential to support many aircraft in the last half of their expected service life. The business mission of the company promotes us as a designer and supplier of "Classic Aviation Products". A part of the Classic products are directed to supporting safety of flight for the older aircraft.Butler National Corporation - Tempe, Arizona, manufactures and repairs airborne switching systems for Boeing McDonnell Douglas and their customers. Switching Units are used to switch the presentation to the flight crew from one radio system to another, from one navigational system to another and to switch instruments in the aircraft from one set to another. The Switching Units were designed and have been manufactured since the 1960's to meet Boeing McDonnell Douglas and FAA requirements. Most Boeing McDonnell Douglas commercial aircraft are equipped with one or more Butler National Switching Units. Marketing is accomplished directly with Boeing McDonnell Douglas. Competition is minimal. However, sales are directly related to the production of Boeing McDonnell Douglas DC-9, DC-10, DC9/80, MD-80, MD-90, MD-11 and KC-10 tanker aircraft. Avionics provides new replacement units and overhaul service directly to the major airlines using the aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. We have in the ordinary course of business received purchase orders from the commercial airlines and aircraft avionics upgrade suppliers for products with scheduled shipment dates into fiscal year 2007. However, should these customers financially reorganize or for some other reason not accept shipment against these orders, we could suffer significant loss of revenue in the avionics division. Defense Contracting and Electronics: We supply defense and commercial aviation products to the various agencies of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. We sell these products directly to the United States and/or to other Department of State approved governments, government contractors and suppliers. Engineering design and specialized manufacturing solutions are provided to maintain and update classic military and commercial aviation systems. In general, we provide our customers the opportunity to update or extend the useful life of products with older components and technology. These products include Gun Control Units (GCU) for the Apache Helicopter and other weapon products, including the Hangfire Override Modules (HOM) for all Boeing derived Chain-Gun® cannons, and various weapon-related firing controls, cabling, and test equipment. We have upgraded the design of the GCU and expect to expand sales of the Butler National upgraded units to maintain the Apache fleet and other military aircraft. We have firm sales orders for these products. Boeing 747 Classic Aircraft: We worked with Honeywell to design the Butler National Transient Suppression Device ("TSD"). The TSD is approved and certified by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") under STC number ST00846SE and is owned, manufactured and marketed by us. We sell TSDs to owners and/or operators of Boeing 747 Classic aircraft with a Honeywell Fuel Quantity Indicating System ("FQIS"). The TSD is one solution to the requirements of AD 98-20-40 issued by the FAA to protect the aircraft fuel tanks from hazardous energy levels introduced through the wiring of the FQIS. As a result of the TWA 800 accident in July 1996, the industry had until November 3, 2001 to comply with AD 98-20-40. All aircraft returned to service after that date must be in compliance. There are approximately 400 Boeing 747 Classic aircraft with Honeywell FQIS. The actual number of aircraft needing our TSD is hard to estimate because a number of these aircraft will be permanently removed from service, a number will have the FQIS system converted from the Honeywell system to a BF Goodrich digital or Smiths digital system, and a number will be protected by a Boeing/BF Goodrich protection device. We believe that all of the other protection alternatives are more expensive than and not as easy to install as our TSD. We started shipments of the Butler National Boeing 747 TSD in April 2001. We continue to provide TSD protection for Boeing 747 Classic aircraft being returned to service. The FAA required that the TSD be returned to us for inspection after six (6) years or thirty-thousand (30,000) hours in service. Our first installation was January 2001. Some units have completed the first inspection. The majority of these sales are to international customers. Boeing 737 Classic Aircraft: We designed the Butler National Transient Suppression Device ("TSD") for Boeing 737 Classic Aircraft. On January 14, 2003, the B737 TSD was approved and certified by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") under STC number ST01160SE. TSDs are sold to the owners and/or operators of Boeing 737 Classic aircraft with an analog Fuel Quantity Indicating System ("FQIS"). The TSD is one solution to the requirements of AD 99-03-04 issued by the FAA to protect the aircraft fuel tanks from hazardous energy levels introduced through the wiring of the FQIS. As a result of the TWA 800 accident in July 1996, the industry had until March 9, 2003 to comply with AD 99-03-04. All aircraft returned to service after that date must be in compliance. There are approximately 1,000 Boeing 737 Classic aircraft in this market with an analog FQIS. Estimating the volume of Butler National 737 TSD sales is subject to the same contingencies as described above under the Boeing 747 TSD. We believe that some of our competitor's protection alternatives are more expensive and not as easy to install as our TSD. We started shipping the Butler National Boeing 737 TSD in February 2003. We continue to provide TSD protection for the Boeing 737 Classic aircraft being returned to service. The FAA required that the TSD be returned to us for inspection after six (6) years or thirty-thousand (30,000) hours in service. Our first installation was January 2001. Some units have completed the first inspection. The majority of these sales are to international customers. SFAR-88, Fuel System Safety: The FAA issued a Special Federal Aviation Requirement ("SFAR") No. 88 titled "Fuel Tank System Fault Tolerance Evaluation Requirements" applicable to turbine-powered aircraft certified to carry 30 or more passengers or a certified payload capacity of 7,500 pounds or more. When fully implemented by the FAA, we believe that SFAR-88 may open a market for Butler National designed TSD products to many more aircraft than the Boeing 747 and 737 Classics. The compliance date for each operator to have a plan for meeting the requirements of the SFAR was December 6, 2002 and has been extended to November 2008. SFAR-88 requires protection for all systems that might provide an ignition source to the aircraft fuel tank system. In general, we believe that this requirement may require protective devices on other aircraft parts using electrical power in the fuel system such as fuel pumps, fuel valves, float switches, etc. To address this market, in July 2001, we applied to the FAA for an STC for a Ground Fault Interruption device ("GFI") for various Boeing aircraft. We are actively pursuing the completion of the STC. The Butler National GFI product line will be sensitive to unusual power requirements of the electrical systems related to the fuel system. We have not completed a full evaluation of the scope and size of this market but our initial estimates are that approximately 100,000 units will be sold to satisfy this requirement. We believe that there are four or five suppliers for this market. Gaming BNSC is engaged in the business of providing management services to Indian tribes in connection with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. We have three management agreements; however, the performance of these agreements is contingent upon and subject to approval by the Secretary of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Indian Gaming Commission and the appropriate state, if required. Also, we have signed consulting engagement letters with two tribes to study and develop plans for Indian gaming. Services SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services : BNS is engaged in the sale of monitoring and control equipment and the sale of monitoring services for water and wastewater remote pumping stations through electronic surveillance by radio or telephone. BNS contracts with government and private owners of water and wastewater pumping stations to provide both monitoring and preventive maintenance services for our customers. A high percentage of BNS business comes from municipally owned pumping stations. BNS is currently soliciting business only in Florida. While we have exposure to competitive forces in the monitoring and preventive maintenance business, management believes the competition is limited in the Florida area.Corporate Corporate / Professional Services: We provide licensed architectural services through BCS Design, Inc. These services include commercial and industrial building design and graphic representation. We have expanded this segment to include aviation-related engineering consulting services and operate as the Butler National Aircraft Certification Center.Through BCS Design, Inc. we are developing, for sale, single family housing units in Junction City, Kansas. The city is adjacent to the U.S. Army post at Fort Riley, Kansas. Construction started on eight units in July 2006. Land has been purchased for an additional fourteen units. The expected selling price for these units may range from $150,000 to $180,000. There can be no assurance that all units will be built or sold for these estimated prices. Patents and Trademarks: We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions that need to be held to do business other than the FAA, PMA and Repair Station licenses. We maintain certain airframe alteration certificates, commonly referred to as Supplemental Type Certificates ("STC's"), issued to us by the FAA, for the Aircraft Modification and Avionics businesses. The STC, PMA and Repair Station licenses are not patents or trademarks. The FAA will issue an STC to anyone, provided that the person or entity documents and demonstrates to the FAA that a change to an aircraft configuration does not endanger the safety of flight. The PMA and Repair Station licenses are available to any person or entity, provided that the person or entity maintains the appropriate documentation and follows the appropriate manufacturing, repair and/or service procedures. The FAA requires the aircraft owner to have the STC document in the aircraft log after each modification is complete. Seasonality: Our business is generally not seasonal. Customer Arrangements: Most of our products are custom-made. Except in isolated situations no special inventory-storage arrangements, merchandise return and allowance policies, or extended payment practices are involved in our business. We are not dependent upon any single customer except for Switching Units and defense products. Switching Units are sold to various Boeing McDonnell Douglas and Douglas Aircraft Company customers. We require deposits from our customers for aircraft modifications. We generally collect full payment for services before the modified aircraft are released. Long term projects, such as cargo door modifications, require interim payments from the customer. |

Revenue and Operating Profit |
|||||||||||
Our sales for fiscal 2006 were $15,307,127, a decrease of 35% from fiscal 2005 sales of $23,389,587. Our operating profit for 2006 was $936,879, compared to $2,794,034 in 2005. Discussion of specific changes by segment are as follows. Aircraft Acquisitions and Sales: There were no aircraft sales in fiscal 2006. Aircraft sales in fiscal 2005 accounted for $457,876 in revenues. Operating profits were $70,482 in fiscal 2005. We acquired three aircraft during fiscal 2006. Management expects this business segment to increase in future years due to increased aircraft acquisitions, modifications and resale's. FAA required modifications to the business aircraft fleet may increase customer demand for company owned aircraft. Avionics: Sales from the Avionics decreased 5.4%, from $3,057,784 in fiscal 2005, to $2,894,086 in fiscal 2006. This decrease is directly related to sales of defense products. Operating profits increased from a $143,332 loss in fiscal 2005 to income of $292,761 in fiscal 2006. This increase in profit was a direct result of a reduction in research and development costs. Management expects this business segment to significantly increase in future years due to the addition of new fuel system protection devices like the TSD, GFI and other classic aviation defense products. Services - SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services: Revenue from Monitoring Services increased from $1,220,679 in fiscal 2005 to $1,440,400 in fiscal 2006, an increase of 18%. During fiscal 2006, we maintained a relatively level volume of long-term contracts with municipalities. We had increased revenue due to significant hurricane activity during fiscal 2006. Revenue fluctuates due to the introduction of new products and services and the related installations of these types of products. Our contracts with our two largest customers have been renewed for fiscal 2007. An operating profit of $134,109 in Monitoring Services was recorded in fiscal 2006, compared to a fiscal 2005 profit of $13,937. We believe the service business has had revenue stability over the past few years and we expect this to continue. |
|||||||||||
Gaming : Revenues from management services related to gaming increased 18.1% from $1,094,039 in fiscal 2005, to $1,292,222 in fiscal 2006. The increase is related to the approval of Class III casino gaming in Oklahoma.We have advanced and invested a total of $4,718,991 in Indian gaming developments. We have reserves of $2,912,440, at April 30, 2006 and $2,912,440 at April 30, 2005. Based on the information available to us we believe that our advances for Indian gaming developments will be totally reimbursed as casinos are opened. Due to the fact that all of the proposed casinos are involved in legal and governmental actions whose outcome is not certain nor is there any time frame for resolution we believe it is necessary to establish reserves against the advances. The reserve amount is an estimate of the value we would receive if Tribal casinos were not opened and we were forced to liquidate the assets that we have acquired with our advances. These assets were intended to be used with Tribal casinos and consist of the purchase of land and land improvements. The land purchases are located adjacent to residential developments. We believe that these tracts could be developed and sold for residential and commercial use to recover advances if the gaming enterprises do not open. In the years ended April 30, 2004 through 2006 there has been no change in reserves. We determine annually the amount of any increase in reserves based on our determination of the fair value of assets acquired by our advances for Indian developments. |

Selling General and Administrative
In an effort to control our insurance costs and maintain quality health care coverage for our employees our health insurance policy became self funded on April 1, 2006, as the Butler National Corporation Employee Health Care Plan. The Plan has contracted with a managed care network of medical providers whose members have agreed to charge the Plan reduced or discounted charges for covered services provided to our employees and their families. Although our employees have the freedom to choose to receive care from any Physician, Hospital or other medical care provider, as a general rule the amount or percentage of an otherwise covered expense payable by the Plan will vary, depending on whether the provider from whom the employee receives care is a member of the Plan's PPO network(s). Generally, the Plan will pay a higher percentage of a covered expense if the care is received by a network provider. The Plan Document, through a third party administrator controls all determinations related to coverage. As sales continue to grow we would anticipate overhead expenses to increase. We continue to monitor and evaluate our overhead expenses in order to efficiently manage our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources At April 30, 2006, the Company had two lines of credit at the same bank totaling a combined $2,000,000. The unused lines at April 30, 2006 were $464,892. These funds are primarily used for the purchase of inventory for the modifications and avionics operations. We believe both lines of credit will be extended when they are due and do not anticipate the full repayment of these notes in fiscal 2007. Our first and second lines of credit have been extended to September 2006. If the Bank were to demand repayment of all notes payable, we currently do not have enough cash to pay off the notes without materially adversely affecting the financial condition of the Company. These notes are collateralized by the first and second positions on all assets of the Company. At April 30, 2006 there were several notes collateralized by aircraft security agreements totaling $2,982,831. These notes were used for the purchase and modifications of these collateralized aircraft. There are two notes at the same bank totaling $1,210,031 for real estate located in Olathe, Kansas and Tempe, Arizona. The due dates on these notes are August 2007 and November 2009. Four notes to the same bank were entered into between March and April 2006 for the purchase of a building and several vacant lots in Junction City, Kansas. These notes total approximately $378,431. We plan to begin construction on single-family residences in the summer of 2006. Two notes to the same bank totaling $276,279 are collateralized by the first and second position on all assets of the company. There are several other notes collateralized by automobiles, equipment, and cash flows from "The Stables" totaling an additional $230,908. All of these notes are used as capital for our daily business operations. |

We are not in default of any of our notes as of July 7, 2006.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123®, Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123® requires that companies recognize compensation expense associated with grants of stock options and other equity instruments to employees in the financial statements. Compensation cost will be measured based on the fair market value of the instrument will be recognized over the vesting period. This pronouncement applies to all grants after the effective date and to the unvested portion of stock options outstanding as of the effective date. The company anticipates that the effect of adopting this statement will not have a material effect on the financial statements. |

3. INCOME TAXES: Deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provision of the enacted tax laws. We have net operating loss carryforwards and cumulative temporary differences, which would result in the recognition of net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance has been provided which reduces the net deferred tax asset to zero. At April 30, 2006, there is approximately $1.5 million of net operating losses, which expire in 2007 to 2018. |
The deferred taxes are comprised of the following components: |

9. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN |
We have a defined contribution plan authorized under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All benefits-eligible employees with at least thirty days of service are eligible to participate in the plan; however there are only two entry dates per calendar year. Employees may contribute up to twelve percent of their pre-tax covered compensation through salary deductions. Each year we have chosen to match 100 percent of every pre-tax dollar an employee contributes. Employees are 100 percent vested in the employer's contributions after three years of participation in the plan. Our matching share contribution, at the then current market value, in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $141,345, $155,490 and $141,340 respectively. If approved by the Board of Directors, the Company match is paid in common stock of the Company. |
