Aerosonic Included on Forbes' ``200 Best Small Companies'' List.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Aerosonic Corporation (AMEX:AIM), a provider of precision flight products for commercial, business and military aircraft, today announced that it has been included in Forbes Magazine's annual "200 Best Small Companies" list. In order to qualify for the "200 Best Small Companies" list, companies had to have shown a consistent pattern of positive growth during a five-year period, as well as over the past 12 months.

With statistical help from William O'Neil & Co. in Los Angeles, Forbes selected companies with sales in the $5 million to $750 million range ("small" by Forbes' standards), net profit margins greater than 5%, and share prices above $5 as of September 29, 2005.

An excerpt from Forbes's October issue states, "If you're looking for a list of the hottest sensations of the moment -- you've come to the wrong place. Our list of the 200 Best Small Companies doesn't do flashes in the pan. It does, however, feature solid and consistent hitters that have performed well when measured over the last 12 months and the past five years, and are poised for another growth spurt.

"Every year, our list of the 200 Best Small Companies highlights companies from a variety of industries that have displayed strong growth both recently and over the past five years. Some are well known, while others are just entering the headlines due to new products or current trends. But regardless of the industry they're from or how they make their money, the ability to operate efficiently with strong management is what keeps them on the list."

"We are very proud to have been included on Forbes' '200 Best Small Companies' list," commented David Baldini, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This truly demonstrates that our company is being recognized as a growth-oriented performer and as a solid candidate for strategic long-term investors. Dedicated employees and a focused, determined management team are the keys to our success. We take this recognition as a challenge to move up the rankings of this list in the future.

"We will continue to focus on organic growth and evaluating capital market opportunities. With a solid cash position and a strict adherence to our internal and external growth strategies, we are confident that we will continue to build a world-class company that provides value to its shareholders, customers and employees," concluded Mr. Baldini.
