                  standard will require us to expense employee stock options and
                  other share-based payments. Therefore, beginning in the first

3.  INCOME PER    Basic income per common share is computed using the weighted
    COMMON SHARE: average number of shares outstanding. Diluted income per
                  common share is computed using the weighted-average number of
                  shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares
                  attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase
                  common stock. Incremental shares of 750,695 and 498,350 were
                  used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in
                  the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
                  respectively. Incremental shares of 80,000 and 15,000 were not
                  included in the diluted earnings per share calculations at
                  March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their exercise price
                  was in excess of the Company's stock price at the end of each
                  respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not
                  assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share
                  calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.

4.  CREDIT        In September 2003, the Company entered into a three year, $5.0
    FACILITY:     million revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank,
                  secured by the assets of the Company. The facility specifies
                  interest rates that range between the Prime Rate and 225 basis
                  points over LIBOR, depending on certain terms and conditions.
                  As of March 31, 2005, the Company had not borrowed any funds
                  pursuant to this facility.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Condensed Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including the timely delivery and acceptance of
the Company's products and the other risks detailed from time to time in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

     Our operations consist of the design and production of structural aircraft
parts principally for the United States Air Force and other branches of the U.S.
armed forces. We also provide aircraft parts to the commercial sector of the
aircraft industry, but we believe that significantly weaker business prospects
exist in this sector.

     We compete with other prime contractors to win contracts through a process
of competitive bidding. After winning a contract, the length of the contract
varies but is typically between one and two years for U. S. Government contracts
(although recent large government contracts have been for periods of up to 10
years, as is the case with the T-38 Propulsion Modification Program) and up to
10 years for commercial contracts. Except in cases where contract terms permit
us to bill on a progress basis, we must incur upfront costs in producing
assemblies and bill our customers upon delivery. Because of the upfront costs
incurred, the timing of our billings and the nature of the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting described below, there can be a
significant disparity between the period in which (a) costs are expended, (b)
revenue and earnings are recorded and (c) cash is received.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     We recognize revenue from our contracts over the contractual period under
the percentage-of-completion (POC) method of accounting. Under the POC method of
accounting, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on
the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the
completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under
the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as an asset captioned
"Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts."
Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded
as a liability captioned "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts." Changes to the original estimates may be required during
the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any
change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in
cost of sales in the period the change becomes known. The use of the POC method
of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues,
costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a
result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for
accounting and taxes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any
reporting period. We continually evaluate all of the issues related to the
assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC
method of accounting; however, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be
accurate. If our estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, we will
be forced to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if our estimates
are accurate, we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and we may need to borrow
money to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize to actual cash
receipts.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUE

     Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $6,245,102
compared to $6,228,108 for the same period last year, representing an increase
of $16,994 or .3%. We generate revenue primarily from government contracts and
to a lesser extent from one commercial contract. Revenue from government
contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $5,760,435 compared to
$6,228,108 for the same period last year, a decrease of $467,673 or 7.5%. This
decrease was due to the significant slowdown in government procurement. Although
we are not actively pursuing commercial contract work, during late 2004 and
early 2005, we received a release on our one remaining commercial contract,
which accounted for revenue of $484,667 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
compared to $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased by
$103,977 or 5.4 %, compared with the same period last year. As a percentage of
revenue, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 29% compared
to 31% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit percentage
was due to approximately $112,000 of extra costs that we had to incur to rework
a first article that was rejected by the government. This rejection was the
result of non-conforming component parts purchased from a vendor. We no longer
do business with this vendor and, therefore, we do not anticipate that this
situation will recur in future periods.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 were $885,511 compared to $838,076 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004, an increase of $47,435, or 5.6%. The increase was due to
increased costs of rent, utilities, maintenance and equipment related to our
new, larger office facility.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
$936,606, a 14% decrease from $1,088,018 reported in the same period last year.
The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit described above.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     We recorded a provision for income taxes of $354,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. For the same period last year, we recorded a provision for
income taxes of $435,000.

     NET INCOME

     As a result, basic net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
$578,656, or $0.11 per share, compared to $651,812, or $0.12 per share, for the
same period last year. Diluted income per share for the three months ended March
31, 2005 was $0.09, calculated utilizing 6,167,995 diluted average shares
outstanding for the period, compared to diluted income per share of $0.11,
calculated utilizing 5,800,120 diluted average shares outstanding for the same
period last year.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     GENERAL

     At March 31, 2005, we had working capital of $24,889,661 compared to
$24,396,402 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $493,259. This increase is
primarily attributable to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$835,441, which resulted from the Company using current cash from net income to
pay down liabilities. These decreases were offset by an increase in income taxes
payable. This increase resulted from utilizing our remaining net operating loss
carryforward for federal income tax purposes during 2004. Therefore, during
2005, we are required to make quarterly estimated federal income tax payments.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
2005 was $395,916 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$1,332,316 for the same period last year. The decrease in cash was the result of
a build-up in accounts receivable and a pay down of accounts payable. This
decrease in cash was not as large as the prior year because of a decrease in
costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in
the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to an increase in the same period
last year. This decrease reflects the overall slowdown in government procurement
which has resulted in reduced manufacturing activity.

     CASH FLOW

     A large portion of our cash is used in paying for materials and processing
costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for
progress payments. These costs are components of "Costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" on our balance sheet and
represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for
which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are
recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance
with contract terms.

     Because the POC method of accounting requires us to use estimates in
determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to
accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both
for accounting and taxes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any
reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in
our cash flow and may need to borrow money until the reported earnings
materialize to actual cash receipts.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JP Morgan Chase Credit Facility

     In September 2003, we entered into a three year, $5.0 million revolving
credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, secured by our assets. The facility
specifies interest rates that range between the Prime Rate and 225 basis points
over LIBOR, depending on certain terms and conditions. As of March 31, 2005, we
had not borrowed any funds pursuant to this facility.

     We believe that our existing resources, together with the availability
under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs
for at least the next 12 months.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures was made as of March 31, 2005 under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During
the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
