The Company has recently completed a review of revenue recognition practices in its aerospace unit. Based on that evaluation, Airport Systems has now re-stated its quarterly financial results. The effect of the re-statement was to reduce sales and net income in the quarter ended July 31, 1999 by $1,480,000 and $677,000, respectively. Reported backlog at July 31, 1999 increased $1,480,000. For the quarter ended October 31, 1999, sales were reduced by $58,000 and net income was increased by $26,000. Reported backlog was increased by $1,538,000. For the quarter ended January 31, 2000, sales and net income was increased by $74,000 and $2,000 respectively and reported backlog was increased by $1,464,000. The aggregate effect of these adjustments for the year ended April 30, 2000 was to reduce sales by $1.5 million and net income by $579,000 and increase backlog by $1.5 million. The change does not affect cash flow. A number of the units for which recognition of revenue was delayed will ship and revenue will be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, with the balance of the units expected to ship by the end of fiscal 2001.
