                      ELECSYS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                January 31, 2002


1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Elecsys Corporation (the Company) include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Airport Systems International, Inc. (ASII), DCI, Inc.
(DCI), and ASII International, Inc., a foreign sales corporation incorporated in
Barbados. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. 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 nine months ended January 31, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended April 30,
2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Elecsys Corporation and Subsidiaries annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2001.

2. Asset Purchase Agreement

On September 10, 2001 the Company's shareholders approved an agreement for the
sale of substantially all of the assets and operations and the transfer of
certain liabilities of its aerospace business, ASII, to Alenia Marconi Systems
(ASI) Inc. (Buyer). In addition, the Buyer assumed standby letters of credit
issued by the Company under its bank line of credit and a mortgage loan on
property conveyed in the transaction. On September 11, 2001 this sale
transaction was closed with an initial purchase price of $7.7 million, subject
to a final adjustment based on a targeted net asset value as defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company received $7.3 million in cash at closing
and the balance, $400,000, was placed in escrow. A portion of the $7.3 million
cash proceeds was used by the Company to retire the note payable to bank ($5.6
million at September 11, 2001), retire an installment note payable to bank
($362,000 at September 11, 2001), and make past due interest payments on
subordinated debt (approximately $68,000).

During October of 2001, the Buyer notified the Company that it was disputing
approximately $900,000 of the net asset value pursuant to its rights under the
Asset Purchase Agreement. In November, the Company received $261,000 in partial
settlement of this dispute, which was reflected as gain on sale of discontinued
operations in the second quarter of this fiscal year. In January of 2002, the
Company and Buyer settled the remaining disagreement. The settlement resulted in
the cash payment to Elecsys of approximately $475,000 of additional
consideration for the net assets sold. This amount, net of costs related to
reaching the settlement, was


recognized as a Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations in the third quarter
ending January 31, 2002 of $446,000, resulting in a net Gain on Sale of
Discontinued Operations on a year to date basis of approximately $155,000, and
completes the process of adjusting the purchase price that was contemplated in
the Asset Purchase Agreement.

As a result of the sale, the operations of ASII have been reflected as
discontinued operations. Amounts previously reported as part of Company
operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations and are not
included in the line item level discussion in the RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis (Item 2) below. Revenues
of this discontinued business segment totaled $ 0 and $3.0 million for the
quarters ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $4.6 million and
$11.0 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

3. Notes Payable to Banks

The Company had a line of credit agreement with a bank that was terminated on
the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement. All borrowings and other
obligations (standby letters of credit) under this line were either paid in full
or assumed by the Buyer, as described in Note 2 above. The Company does not
currently have a credit facility with a bank.


4. DCI Purchase Claim Resolution

At the end of the third quarter of this fiscal year, the Company and the former
stockholders of DCI, Inc. settled the disagreement that existed concerning
representations and warranties made by those former stockholders in connection
with the purchase of the stock of DCI and payment of the subordinated note held
by the former stockholders. The resolution agreement contained the following
elements:

     a.   Elecsys paid principal and interest on the existing note to the former
          stockholders of approximately $328,000.
     b.   An entity formed by the former stockholders purchased, at book value,
          inventory, fixed assets, and intellectual property primarily
          associated with the DCI instrument panel meter product line in
          exchange for a reduction in the existing note of approximately
          $405,000. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction.
     c.   The former stockholders forgave approximately $248,000 of principal
          and interest owed on the existing note, which was recorded in the
          third quarter ended January 31, 2002 as a reduction in goodwill.
     d.   Elecsys issued two long term, subordinated notes in exchange for the
          remaining principal balance on the existing note; one note, for
          approximately $405,000 is convertible into common shares of Elecsys at
          $1.93 per share and another, non-convertible, note totals $31,650.
     e.   The parties mutually released each other from any and all existing and
          future claims under the original purchase agreements.

5. Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three
months and nine months ended January 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform
to the fiscal 2002 presentation.






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

The discussions set forth in this Form 10-QSB may contain forward-looking
comments based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected or
suggested in the forward-looking comments. The difference could be caused by a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors and conditions
which are described under the headings "Competition", "Sources and Availability
of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers", "Dependence on One or a Few Major
Customers" and "Results of Operations" which are included in the Company's other
SEC filings, as well as Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2001. The
reader is cautioned that the Company does not have a policy of updating or
revising forward-looking statements and thus he or she should not assume that
silence by management of the Company over time means that actual events are
bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Elecsys Corporation (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries DCI, Inc. (DCI)
and Airport Systems International, Inc. (ASII) is a designer and manufacturer of
electronic sub-assemblies and systems, and a provider of electronic
manufacturing services (EMS) and custom liquid crystal displays. Until September
11, 2001, the Company operated two business segments, EMS and aerospace. The EMS
unit is operated through DCI and the aerospace unit, which was sold on September
11, 2001, was operated through ASII. The EMS unit provides specialized
electronic design, manufacturing and test services to original equipment
manufacturers (OEM's) and manufactures and imports custom liquid crystal display
(LCD) devices. The electronic assemblies it designs and manufactures, including
circuit board assemblies, electronic modules and full turn-key products, along
with the LCD's it manufactures or imports, are used in medical, aerospace,
industrial and consumer product applications. Sales are made primarily to
customers within the United States. The aerospace unit designed, manufactured
and installed ground-based radio navigation and landing systems (Navaids) and
airfield lighting. Its customers consisted of civil aviation authorities in the
United States and throughout the world. The business conducted by ASII was sold
on September 11, 2001, as discussed in Note 2 in the notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were $1.8
million, up 15% when compared with $1.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal
year 2001. Sales from continuing operations were $5.5 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 2002, an increase of 7% over the $5.1 million reported for the
first nine months of fiscal 2001. Revenues for both the three and nine month
periods increased due to the addition of several new electronic assembly service
customers along with smaller increases in Engineering Services and Instrument
sales. These increases were partially offset by significant decreases in
microelectronic services and LCD product sales and a slight decrease in repair
revenue.

Gross margins from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2002
were $272,000, or 15% of sales, down from $614,000, or 38% of sales, for the
same period last year. The decline in gross margin, and gross margin as a
percent of sales, is due to several factors:

     1.   Significantly lower sales to one of DCI's largest and highest gross
          margin microelectronics products customers (a consumer product
          manufacturer).
     2.   Lower overhead absorption rates due to lower revenue levels than
          anticipated. A number of customers who had orders in the backlog at
          the end of the second quarter of this fiscal year that were scheduled
          to ship in the third quarter asked that those shipments be delayed.
          The Company believes this is an industry wide situation,


          caused, in part, by the economy. In order to maintain good customer
          relations, the Company accommodated the customers' requests. Overhead
          levels in place to support the expected higher shipment levels were
          not absorbed over the lower sales volume, which contributed
          significantly to the decline in gross margins. Reductions in those
          overhead rates were effected on February 1, 2002 through a reduction
          in direct and indirect labor headcount.
     3.   A significantly higher mix of sales to new customers, which requires
          additional manufacturing engineering and startup costs.
     4.   The Company's focus on and success in gaining new larger OEM
          customers, which provide for higher production volumes, but generate
          lower gross margins than the smaller, lower-volume customers the
          Company has done business with in the past. The Company achieved very
          low gross margin on one large customer's product line, in particular.
          This was a result of higher than expected labor hours required to
          complete the associated labor-intensive, through-hole technology jobs
          for this customer.
     5.   The Company is experiencing higher material costs and lower sales
          volume in its LCD manufacturing business.


For the first nine months of fiscal 2002, gross margins from continuing
operations totaled $1.1 million, or 20% of sales, versus $1.9 million or 37% of
sales for the comparable nine months of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in
gross margins, and gross margin as a percent of sales, is primarily attributable
to the items described above, which had a larger impact in the second and third
quarters of this fiscal year than in the first.

The Company's focus on serving moderate volume, high product mix customers that
have been under-served by larger EMS providers, along with our manufacturing
flexibility, and our ability to design, manufacture and import custom LCD
displays (as well as assemble the drive electronics and bond the two) have been
instrumental in our ability to replace the significant decrease in orders from
the large microelectronics products customer previously mentioned. We continue
to be encouraged by the bookings levels we experienced in the third quarter and
are optimistic that this trend will carry through the balance of fiscal 2002.
Based partially upon our increased sales activities and backlog of orders at the
end of the third quarter, we expect sales to be higher in the fourth quarter of
this fiscal year when compared to levels in the prior year, although actual
results could differ materially due to significant capacity in the EMS industry
and other factors. We anticipate gross margins to improve in the final quarter
of this fiscal year compared to previous quarters of the current fiscal year,
although no assurances can be made in this regard. We anticipate that this will
result from generally improved plant efficiency, elimination of certain
unprofitable customers, an expense reduction associated with the sale of the
Company's instrument product line, and a distribution agreement associated with
the equipment line along with the expense reductions noted above. Management
also anticipates that an increase in margins from the LCD business will result
from increased offshore sourcing and new pricing policies.



Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $667,000 (36% of
sales) for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $591,000 (37% of sales)
for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. This increase was due to an increase in
sales and engineering personnel and bad debts at DCI, offset by a reduction in
corporate expenses due to the management restructuring in October 2001 and other
administrative cost saving efforts implemented by the Company.

SG&A expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2002 increased $766,000 to
$2.6 million (47% of sales), compared to $1.8 million (35% of sales), for the
nine months ended January 31, 2001. This increase is due primarily to the
restructuring charge reserve recorded in the second quarter of this year as a
result of the management reorganization, an increase in sales compensation
associated with the increased sales efforts and higher legal fees.

The restructuring charge, which was $315,000 and was recorded in the second
quarter of this fiscal year, consisted primarily of severance costs associated
with the elimination of two senior executives from the Company's employ and
related expenses. For the three and the nine months ended January 31, 2002, the
Company had net cash outflows of approximately $105,000 and $271,000,
respectively, associated with the restructuring reserve. The Company believes
that the remaining reserves are adequate to cover the outstanding liabilities.

Interest expense (net) was $44,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2002, down
from $107,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2001, due primarily to lower
weighted average borrowings outstanding and lower interest rates. For the nine
months ended January 31, 2002, interest expense (net) was $260,000 versus
$339,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease is
attributable to lower weighted-average borrowings outstanding and lower interest
rates as well.

The Company recorded an operating loss from discontinued operations for the
third quarter of fiscal 2002 of $ 0 as compared to $125,000 in the same period
last year, due to the sale of substantially all of the assets and operations of
ASII on September 11, 2001. For the nine months ended January 31, 2002, the
operating loss from discontinued operations was $497,000 compared to an
operating loss from discontinued operations of $8,000 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2001. Additionally, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of the
discontinued operations of $446,000 (net of certain associated expenses) in the
quarter ended January 31, 2002 as a result of the settlement of certain purchase
price disputes with the buyer. The Company recognized a final gain of $155,000
on the sale of discontinued operations for the nine months ended January 31,
2002.

No income tax provision or benefit was recorded for the third quarters of fiscal
2002 and fiscal 2001 due primarily to net operating loss carry forwards
available to the Company.

As a result of the above, the net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 was
$0, compared to $209,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The net loss for
the nine months ended January 31, 2002 was $1,874,000 versus a net loss of
$279,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2001.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash of $ 1.1 million was used by continuing operations for the nine months
ended January 31, 2002 compared to $713,000 used by operations in the first nine
months of fiscal 2001. The increase in cash used was primarily due to an
increased loss from continuing operations, and increases in accounts receivable
and inventory, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Cash provided by investing activities was $7.4 million for the nine months ended
January 31, 2002 compared to $147,000 for the same period last year. This
increase is primarily attributable to the receipt of proceeds from the sale of
ASII, partially offset by purchases of fixed assets and a $328,000 payment made
in conjunction with the DCI dispute resolution agreement.

Cash used by financing activities was $5.4 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2002 compared to cash provided of $674,000 in the nine months ended
January 31, 2001. The cash used was the result of the pay off of the Company's
credit facility following the sale of ASII and the early repayment of a portion
of the Industrial Revenue Bond, funded by a release of restricted cash.

The Company does not currently have a credit facility with any bank. The Company
expects to meet its ongoing requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures from a combination of its existing cash and cash expected to be
generated from operations of DCI, although no assurances can be made in this
regard. If operating losses are not eliminated at DCI, the existing cash balance
alone will not be adequate to sustain the Company's future operations. The
Company has begun discussions with potential lenders and investors about
providing financing to the Company, though no assurances can be made that these
efforts will be successful.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities

     During the third quarter of this fiscal year, the Company resolved its
claims against the former stockholders of DCI, Inc. Those claims were based upon
representations and warranties made by those stockholders in connection with the
purchase of the stock of DCI, Inc. As a result of those claims, the Company
exercised an offset right as to payments otherwise due under the subordinated
notes held by the former stockholders. The former DCI stockholders viewed the
exercise of that offset right as a default upon the subordinated note.
Settlement of the claims against the former stockholders of DCI included a
payment by the Company under the subordinated note, so that there was clearly no
default thereunder. See Footnote 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
