See 10-Q.
 for the quarter ended July July: see month.  28, 2006, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For its fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2006, the Company reported revenues of approximately $7.6 million, down 15% as compared to revenues of approximately $9.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributed to a lower factory production of core products as well as reduced revenue recognition on the nearly complete F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter A strike fighter is a fighter aircraft which is also capable of attacking surface targets, including ships. It differs from an attack aircraft in that the aircraft remains a capable fighter. ) development contract.

The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended July 28, 2006 of $77,000, or $0.02 per share, versus net income of $482,000, or $0.12 per share for the quarter ended July 29, 2005. This decrease was the result of lower revenue that was partially offset by lower administrative costs administrative costs,

 associated with the use of outside professionals during the period. In addition, income tax expense was reduced due to lower earnings as well as a lower estimated effective income tax rate for the period.

For the six months ended July 28, 2006, the Company reported revenues of approximately $16.1 million, down 11% when compared to revenues of approximately $18.1 million for the six months ended July 29, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower factory production as well as reduced revenue recognition on the F-35 as the development program nears completion.

Net income for the six months ended July 28, 2006 was approximately $506,000, or $0.14 per share, down from $931,000, or $0.24 per share for the quarter ended July 29, 2005. This decrease was driven by a reduction in gross profit due to lower revenue that was partially offset by a reduction in income tax expense.

"While we do not expect this year to exhibit the same revenue growth as we experienced last year, we remain excited about the future of Aerosonic," stated David Baldini, Aerosonic's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The reduction in revenue reflects a delay in the anticipated renewal or expansion of existing defense contracts as well as our strategy to refine our product offering by discontinuing the production of low margin products. Our goals are to perform at or above industry standards and exceed shareholder expectations by redirecting the efforts of the Company from the products that sustained us in the past to those product lines that will carry the Company into the future. As part of our strategy to achieve these goals, we will be executing a consolidation strategy that will result in a more efficient overhead structure and allow us to take advantage of near and long term opportunities that are essential to our growth."
