HEICO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in
annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2004. The
October 31, 2004 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company currently accounts for stock-based employee compensation
using the intrinsic value method (see "New Accounting Pronouncements" below for
a discussion of a recently issued pronouncement on the accounting for
share-based payments, which is effective as of the Company's first quarter of
fiscal 2006). Accordingly, compensation expense has been recorded in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for any stock options
granted below the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of
grant. The following table illustrates the pro forma effects on net income and
net income per share as if the Company had applied the fair-value recognition
provisions (an alternative method) to stock-based employee compensation. The
fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 ("SFAS No. 151"),
"Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". SFAS No. 151 requires
the allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities and unallocated overhead costs recognized
as an expense in the period incurred. The Statement also clarifies that abnormal
inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current
period charges. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of SFAS No. 151, but does not currently believe the adoption of the
Statement will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based
Payment". This Statement revises FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees". In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") to provide
public companies with its interpretive guidance in applying the provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on the accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement
of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with
limited exceptions). This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005; therefore, the Company plans to adopt the new requirements
in its first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and
6
guidance in SAB 107 and has not yet determined the impact that SFAS No. 123(R)
and SAB 107 will have on its results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-1 ("FSP FAS
No. 109-1"), "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004". FSP FAS No. 109-1 states that qualified
production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS
No. 109 and not be treated as a rate reduction. Accordingly, the special
deduction has no effect on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
existing as of the enactment date. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which will allow the Company
to claim a deduction from taxable income attributable to qualified domestic
production activities beginning in fiscal 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". SFAS No. 153 is based
on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based
on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The Statement eliminates the
exception of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it
with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance (i.e. the future cash flows of the entity are not expected
to change significantly as a result of the exchange). The provisions of SFAS No.
153 are effective as of the first reporting period beginning after June 15,
2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
2. ACQUISITIONS
In December 2004, the Company, through its HEICO Electronic Technologies
Corp. subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Connectronics, Corp. and its affiliate, Wiremax, Ltd.
(collectively "Connectronics"). The results of operations of Connectronics were
included in the Company's results of operations effective December 2004. Subject
to meeting certain earnings objectives during the first four years following the
acquisition, the Company may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up
to $3.8 million in the aggregate. Connectronics is engaged in the production of
specialty high voltage interconnection devices and wire primarily for defense
applications and other markets.
In February 2005, the Company, through its HEICO Electronic Technologies
Corp. subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Lumina Power, Inc. ("Lumina"). The results of operations of
Lumina were included in the Company's results of operations effective February
2005. Subject to meeting certain product line-related earnings objectives during
the fourth and fifth years following the acquisition, the Company may be
obligated to pay additional consideration after the fifth year, which is
currently estimated to total up to $2.3 million. Lumina is engaged in the design
and manufacture of power supplies for the laser industry.
The acquisitions of Connectronics and Lumina were accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of each acquisition was
paid in cash using proceeds
7
from the Company's revolving credit facility and was not significant to the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's pro forma
consolidated operating results assuming Connectronics and Lumina had been
acquired as of the beginning of fiscal 2005 would not have been materially
different from the reported results. The allocation of the purchase price of
each acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in these condensed consolidated financial statements is
preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair
values.

and the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG). Changes in the carrying amount of
goodwill by operating segment for the six months ended April 30, 2005 are as
follows:
SEGMENT

The goodwill acquired during the period is a result of the acquisitions
described in Note 2, Acquisitions. Adjustments to goodwill consist primarily of
contingent purchase price payments to previous owners of acquired businesses.
Other intangible assets are recorded within other assets in the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other intangible assets subject
to amortization consist primarily of non-compete agreements, licenses, and
patents. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other
intangible assets was $2,489,000 and $367,000, respectively, as of April 30,
2005. Amortization expense of other intangible assets for the six months and
three months ended April 30, 2005 was $118,000 and $76,000 respectively.
Amortization expense of other
9
intangible assets for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2005 is estimated to be
$258,000. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is

revolving credit facility at weighted average interest rates of 4.0% and 2.9%,
respectively. The revolving credit facility contains both financial and

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included herein. The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates if different assumptions were used or different events
ultimately transpire.
The Company's critical accounting policies, some of which require
management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, are
described in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," under the heading "Critical Accounting
Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
31, 2004.
The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (FSG),
consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. (HEICO Aerospace) and its
subsidiaries, and the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG), consisting of HEICO
Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2005 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2004
Net Sales
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased by 25.3% to
$124.0 million, as compared to net sales of $98.9 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2004. The increase in net sales reflects an increase of $16.3
million (a 22.7% increase) to $88.3 million in net sales within the FSG, and an
increase of $8.7 million (a 32.0% increase) to $35.8 million in net sales within
the ETG. The FSG's net sales increase primarily reflects improved demand for its
aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul services, which reflects
continued recovery within the commercial airline industry, as well as increased
sales of new products. The ETG's net sales increase reflects the acquisition of
Connectronics and Lumina (see Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements) and organic growth of approximately 10%
reflecting increased demand for certain products.
The Company's net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2005 by
market approximated 67% from the commercial aviation industry, 21% from the
defense and space industries and 12% from other industrial markets including
medical, electronics and telecommunications. Net sales in fiscal 2004 by market
approximated 65% from the commercial aviation industry, 23% from the defense and
space industries and 12% from other markets.
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses
The Company's gross profit margin improved to 36.6% for the first six
months of fiscal 2005 as compared to 34.6% for the first six months of fiscal
2004, reflecting higher margins within the FSG offset by a decrease in the ETG
margin. The FSG's gross profit margin increase was due principally to improved
operating efficiencies within the FSG, lower new product research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales and lower charges related to
excess or slow-moving inventory. The ETG's gross profit margin decrease was
primarily due to lower sales of higher margin products and higher new product
research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales. Consolidated
cost of sales for the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004 includes
approximately $5.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of new product
research and development expenses.
SG&A expenses were $25.2 million and $19.5 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A expenses increased to 20.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2005
compared to 19.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2004. The increase in SG&A
expenses and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is mainly due to the
increase in operating costs, principally personnel related, associated with the
increase in net sales discussed above.
Operating Income
Operating income of $20.1 million for the first six months of fiscal
2005 was 36.3% higher than operating income of $14.7 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2004. The improvement in operating income reflects a $5.1
million increase in operating income of the FSG from $11.3 million
16
for the first six months of fiscal 2004 to $16.5 million for the first six
months to fiscal 2005. Operating income of the ETG increased $0.5 million from
$6.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004 to $6.7 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating income
increased from 14.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2004 to 16.2% in the
first six months of fiscal 2005. The increase in operating income as a
percentage of net sales reflects an increase in the FSG's operating income as a
percentage of net sales from 15.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2004 to
18.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2005 and a decrease in the ETG's
operating income as a percentage of net sales from 22.8% in the first six months
of fiscal 2004 to 18.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2005. The increase in
the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the improved
gross margins discussed previously. The decrease in the ETG's operating income
as a percentage of net sales reflects the decreased gross margins discussed
previously.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $533,000 in the first six months of fiscal
2005 from $632,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2004. The decrease was
principally due to a lower weighted average balance outstanding under the
revolving credit facility in the first six months of fiscal 2005, partially
offset by higher interest rates.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income in the first six months of fiscal 2005 and
fiscal 2004 were not material.
Income Tax Expense
The Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2005
increased to 36.3% from 34.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2004. The
increase is due to a lower amount of the minority interests' share of income
excluded from our consolidated income subject to federal income taxes, a
reduction in the tax benefit on export sales under the federal Extraterritorial
Income Exclusion provisions that begin phasing out in fiscal 2005 and higher
state taxes principally related to recent acquisitions.
Minority Interests' Share of Income
Minority interests' share of income of consolidated subsidiaries relates
to the minority interests held in HEICO Aerospace and the 20% minority interest
held in Sierra Microwave Technology, LLC. The increase from the first six months
of fiscal 2004 to the first six months of fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable
to higher earnings of the FSG.
Net Income
The Company's net income was $10.1 million, or $.39 per diluted share,
for the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to $7.3 million, or $.29 per
diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2004 reflecting the increased
operating income referenced above.
17
OUTLOOK
The Company reported increased sales in its two business segments
reflecting both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. The Company
believes that the FSG's operating margins will continue to show year over year
improvement during the balance of fiscal 2005 while operating margins in the ETG
are expected to return to levels approximating those experienced in fiscal 2004.
Based on the current strengthening of the markets in which the Company
participates and the Company's continued success in introducing new products and
services, the Company continues to target growth in fiscal 2005 sales and net
income over fiscal 2004 results.
COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2005 TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2004
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased by 26.9% to
$67.0 million, as compared to net sales of $52.8 million for the second quarter
of fiscal 2004. The increase in net sales reflects an increase of $8.3 million
(a 22.1% increase) to $46.1 million in net sales within the FSG, and an increase
of $5.8 million (a 38.6% increase) to $21.0 million in net sales within the ETG.
The FSG's net sales increase primarily reflects improved demand for its
aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul services, which reflects
continued recovery within the commercial airline industry, as well as increased
sales of new products. The ETG's net sales increase reflects the acquisition of
Connectronics and Lumina (see Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements) and organic growth of approximately 9%
reflecting increased demand for certain products.
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses
The Company's gross profit margin improved to 37.4% for the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to 35.4% for the second quarter of fiscal
2004, reflecting higher margins within the FSG offset by a decrease in the ETG
margin. The FSG's gross profit margin increase was due principally to improved
operating efficiencies within the FSG, lower new product research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales and lower charges related to
excess or slow-moving inventory. The ETG's gross profit margin decrease was
primarily due to lower sales of higher margin products and higher new product
research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales. Consolidated
cost of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004 includes
approximately $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of new product
research and development expenses.
SG&A expenses were $13.6 million and $10.5 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A expenses increased slightly to 20.3% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to 20.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The
increase in SG&A expenses and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is
mainly due to increased operating costs, principally personnel related,
associated with the increase in net sales discussed above.
18
Operating Income
Operating income of $11.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005
was 39.9% higher than operating income of $8.2 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2004. The improvement in operating income reflects a $2.9 million
increase in operating income of the FSG from $6.0 million for the second quarter
of fiscal 2004 to $8.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating
income of the ETG increased $0.5 million from $3.7 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 to $4.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. As
a percentage of net sales, operating income increased from 15.5% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 to 17.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The
increase in operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects an increase
in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales from 15.9% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2004 to 19.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and
a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales from 24.5%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 to 20.1% in the second quarter of fiscal
2005. The increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of net sales
reflects the improved gross margins discussed previously. The decrease in the
ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the decreased gross
margins discussed previously.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $300,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and
$301,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 reflecting lower weighted average
balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility in the second quarter of
fiscal 2005 offset by higher interest rates.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and
fiscal 2004 were not material.
Minority Interests' Share of Income
Minority interests' share of income of consolidated subsidiaries relates
to the minority interests held in HEICO Aerospace and the 20% minority interest
held in Sierra Microwave Technology, LLC. The increase from the second quarter
of fiscal 2004 to the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable
to higher earnings of the FSG.
Net Income
The Company's net income was $5.7 million, or $.22 per diluted share,
for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $4.1 million, or $.16 per
diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 reflecting the increased
operating income referenced above.
19
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generates cash primarily from its operating activities and
financing activities, including borrowings under long-term credit agreements.
Principal uses of cash by the Company include acquisitions, payments of
principal and interest on debt, capital expenditures, cash dividends and
increases in working capital.
The Company believes that its net cash provided by operating activities
and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient
to fund cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.5 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2005, consisting primarily of net income of $10.1
million, depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million, a tax benefit on stock
option exercises of $2.6 million, minority interests' share of income of
consolidated subsidiaries of $2.4 million, a deferred income tax provision of
$1.4 million, and an increase in net operating assets of $8.4 million. The
increase in net operating assets (current assets used in operating activities
net of current liabilities) primarily reflects a higher investment in
inventories required to meet increased sales demand associated with new product
offerings and sales growth and an increase in accounts receivable due to sales
growth. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $16.7 million
for the first six months of fiscal 2004 principally as a result of the increase
in net operating assets referenced above.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of
fiscal 2005 related primarily to acquisitions and related costs (principally
Connectronics and Lumina) of $18.4 million and capital expenditures totaling
$3.0 million, partially offset by proceeds of $3.5 million from the sale of a
building held for sale (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information -
Property, Plant and Equipment).
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of
fiscal 2005 primarily related to borrowings of $22.0 million on the Company's
revolving credit facility to fund the Connectronics and Lumina acquisitions, to
make required income tax payments and for other working capital needs, and
proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.8 million, partially offset by
repayments of $13.0 million on the Company's revolving credit facility and the
payment of $0.6 million in cash dividends on the Company's common stock.
20
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating $1.8
million to meet the security requirement of its insurance company for potential
workers' compensation claims and one of the Company's subsidiaries has
guaranteed its performance related to a customer contract through a $0.2 million
letter of credit expiring December 2005. These letters of credit are supported
by the Company's $120 million revolving credit facility. In addition, the
Company's industrial development revenue bonds are secured by a $2.0 million
letter of credit expiring April 2008 and a mortgage on the related properties
pledged as collateral.
As part of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in Sierra Microwave
Technology, Inc., the Company has the right to purchase the minority interests
in approximately ten years, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority
holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase their interests
commencing in approximately five years, or sooner under certain conditions.
As part of the agreement to purchase Connectronics (See Note 2,
Acquisitions), the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase
consideration of up to $3.8 million in the aggregate should Connectronics meet
certain earnings objectives during the first four years following the
acquisition.
As part of the agreement to purchase Lumina (see Note 2, Acquisitions),
the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration currently
estimated to total up to $2.3 million should Lumina meet certain product
line-related earnings objectives during the fourth and fifth years following the
acquisition.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 ("SFAS No. 151"),
"Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". SFAS No. 151 requires
the allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities and unallocated overhead costs recognized
as an expense in the period incurred. The Statement also clarifies that abnormal
inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current
period charges. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of SFAS No. 151, but does not currently believe the adoption of the
Statement will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based
Payment". This Statement revises FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees". In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") to provide
public companies with its interpretive guidance in applying the provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on the accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No. 123(R)
21
requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of
employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). This
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005;
therefore, the Company plans to adopt the new requirements in its first quarter
of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No.
123(R) and guidance in SAB 107 and has not yet determined the impact that SFAS
No. 123(R) and SAB 107 will have on its results of operations or financial
position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-1 ("FSP FAS
No. 109-1"), "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004". FSP FAS No. 109-1 states that qualified
production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS
No. 109 and not be treated as a rate reduction. Accordingly, the special
deduction has no effect on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
existing as of the enactment date. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which will allow the Company
to claim a deduction from taxable income attributable to qualified domestic
production activities beginning in fiscal 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". SFAS No. 153 is based
on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based
on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The Statement eliminates the
exception of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it
with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance (i.e. the future cash flows of the entity are not expected
to change significantly as a result of the exchange). The provisions of SFAS No.
153 are effective as of the first reporting period beginning after June 15,
2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Report constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. All statement contained herein that are not clearly historical in
nature may be forward-looking and the words "believe," "expect," "estimate" and
similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward looking
statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, in press releases,
written statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or in communications and discussions with investors and analysts in
the normal course of business through meetings, phone calls and conference
calls, concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition
are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies. We have
based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
projections about future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated
results, performance or achievements. Also, forward-looking statements are based
upon management's estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently
available information. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from
those expressed in or implied by those statements. Factors that could cause such
differences, but are
22
not limited to: lower demand for commercial air travel or airline fleet changes,
which could cause lower demand for our goods and services; product specification
costs and requirements, which could cause an increase to our costs to complete
contracts; governmental and regulatory demands, export policies and
restrictions, reductions in defense or space spending by U.S. and/or foreign
customers, or competition from existing and new competitors, which could reduce
our sales; HEICO's ability to introduce new products and product pricing levels,
which could reduce our sales or sales growth; HEICO's ability to make
acquisitions and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses, customer
credit risk, interest rates and economic conditions within and outside of the
aviation, defense, space and electronics industries, which could negatively
impact our costs and revenues; and HEICO's ability to maintain effective
internal controls, which could adversely affect our business and the market
price of our common stock. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Substantially all of the Company's borrowings bear interest at floating
interest rates. Based on the outstanding debt balance as of April 30, 2005, a
hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would increase the Company's
interest expense by approximately $106,000 on an annual basis.
24
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
its Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that
occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
