Fire Damages Aerosonic’s Clearwater Facility

CLEARWATER, Fla. – August 11, 2008 – Aerosonic Corporation (AMEX:AIM), a leading supplier of precision flight products for commercial, business and military aircraft, announced today that this past Friday evening the company sustained significant damage to one of the buildings comprising its Clearwater, FL facility as a result of a fire. The company is working through the details of a recovery plan that includes temporarily reassigning employees whose work areas were affected by the fire to other unaffected facilities in Clearwater and Charlottesville, VA.

The company is insured for real property, personal property and loss of business income. “We are focused on restoring our capabilities and supporting our customers as quickly as possible. Our team has rapidly pulled together to plan and implement our recovery, with work already underway. I also want to personally thank the Fire Department for rapidly containing the fire and protecting the balance of our buildings,” said Doug Hillman, Aerosonic CEO.
