              BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X
and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 1998 are not
indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year
ending April 30, 1999.

Certain reclassifications within the financial statement captions have been
made to maintain consistency in presentation between years.

For further information, refer to the Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements and Footnotes included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended April 30, 1998 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 24, 2000.

2.  Restatement:  Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, it
was determined that the reported results for 1998 and 1997 were in error,
primarily as follows:

Beneficial Conversion Features:  The Company issued convertible debentures in
June and November of 1996 that contained beneficial conversion features which
allowed the investor to convert at 70 percent of the average common stock
closing bid price for the five days prior to issuance of the debt security.
The conversion period on the notes were for limited periods. The financial
statements for the year ended April 30, 1997, have been restated to reflect
the accounting recognition of the value attributable to the beneficial
conversion feature ($375,000) as a noncash charge to interest expense and an
increase to the paid-in capital.

The Company also issued convertible preferred stock on December 16, 1997 which
contained beneficial conversion features.  Those features allow the holder of
the security to convert the preferred stock into the Company's common stock at
70 percent of the common stock bid price (the average of the ending common
stock price bid five days prior to issuance of the preferred stock or the
ending common stock bid price 45 days after issuance of the preferred stock).
The financial statements for the period ended April 30, 1998, have been
restated to reflect the accounting recognition of the value attributable to
this beneficial conversion feature as a deemed dividend and an increase to
capital contributed in excess of par of $650,000.

The accounting above is consistent with the accounting requirements
outlined in Topic D-60 of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), issued in
March 1997, and what was agreed to by the EITF in their final
deliberations for Issue 98-5 on May 20, 1999.

RF, Inc. Gain:  The Company settled a dispute with a former employee in June
1997, effective April 30, 1997.  The Company initially recorded a net gain on
the settlement of approximately $433,000 in June 1998.  Costs aggregating
approximately $1,054,000 that had been deferred as of April 30, 1997, more
appropriately should have been recognized as period costs.  The financial
statements have been restated to expense these costs as part of loss from
discontinued operations in fiscal 1997.  In addition, the value assigned to
the 600,000 shares of company stock received as part of the consideration of
the settlement was reduced from $2 per share (stock price at April 30, 1997)
to $1.22 per share (stock price on June 26, 1997- the date the shares were
received).  The net effect of this transaction on the fiscal 1998 financial
statements is to change the previously reported loss from discontinued
operations of $172,281 to income from discontinued operations of $269,219.

The following reflects selected financial information and the effects of the
aforementioned restatements:

3.  Indian Gaming:  The Company is advancing funds for the establishment of
Indian gaming. These funds have been capitalized in accordance with Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial
Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects."  Such standard requires costs
associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate
and real estate-related projects to be capitalized as part of that project.
The realization of these advances is predicated on the ability of the Company
and their Indian gaming clients to successfully open and operate the proposed
casinos.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful.  The
inability of the Company to recover these advances could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Advances to the tribes and for gaming developments are capitalized and
recorded as receivables from the tribes.  These receivables, shown as
Advances for Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet, represent
costs to be reimbursed to the Company pending approval of Indian gaming in
several locations.  The Company has agreements in place which require
payments to be made to the Company for the respective projects upon
opening of Indian gaming facilities.  Once gaming facilities have gained
proper approvals, the Company will enter into note receivable arrangements
with the tribe to secure reimbursement of advanced funds to the Company for
the particular project.  The Company currently has one note receivable shown
as Note Receivable From Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet.

We record reserves for Indian Gaming Development costs that cannot be
determined whether reimbursement from the Tribes will occur.  We have
agreements with the Tribes to be reimbursed for all costs incurred by us
to develop gaming when the facilities are constructed and opened.  Because the
Stables represents the only operations opened, there is uncertainty as to
whether reimbursement on all remaining costs that have been reserved will
occur.  It is our policy therefore, to reduce the respective reserves as
reimbursement from the Tribes is collected.

The Company has capitalized approximately $4,040,333 and $3,062,941 at July
31, 1998 and April 30, 1998, respectively, related to the
development of Indian gaming facilities.  These amounts are net of
reserves of $2,283,405 and $3,008,508 in fiscal year 1999 and 1998,
respectively, which were established to reserve for potentially
unreimburseable costs. In the opinion of management, the net advances will be
recoverable through the gaming activities.  Current economic projections for
the gaming activities indicate adequate future cash flows to recover the
advances.  In the event the Company and its Indian clients are unsuccessful in
establishing such operations, these net recorded advances will be recovered
through the liquidation of the associated assets.  The Company has title to
land purchased for Indian gaming.  These tracts, currently owned by the
Company, could be sold to recover costs in the projects.

As a part of a Management Contract approved by the National Indian Gaming
Commission (NIGC) on January 14, 1997, between the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation, and the Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma and the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma (the Tribes), the Company agreed
to convert their current unsecured receivable from the Tribes to a secured
note receivable with the Tribes of $3,500,000 at 2 percent over prime, to be
repaid over five years, for the construction of the Stables gaming
establishment and reimbursement for previously advanced funds.  At July 31,
1998, the Company had advanced $2,584,656 to the Tribes under the contract and
has reported $408,333 as a current note receivable and
$2,101,987 as a long-term note receivable.  Security under the contract
includes the Tribes' profits from all tribal gaming enterprises and all
assets of the Stables except the land and building.  The Company is
currently receiving payments on the note and its management fee on the
Stables' operation.

4.  Aircraft:  The Company buys aircraft, modifies the aircraft and resells
the aircraft as a part of the aircraft modification business segment.

During the quarter ended July 31, 1998, a modified Lear 35 aircraft was sold
for approximately $2.1 million.  This aircraft was carried as inventory
for approximately $1,500,000 on the Balance Sheet.  The Company plans to
continue the business of purchase, modify and sale of applicable aircraft
and is now recording the the carrying cost of these airplanes as Aircraft
Inventory on the Balance Sheet.

5.  Quasi Reorganization:  After completing a three-year program of
restructuring the Company's operation, on October 31, 1992, the Company
adjusted the accumulated deficit (earned surplus benefit) to a zero balance
thereby affording the Company a "fresh start."  No assets or liabilities
required adjustment in this process as they had been recorded at fair value.
The amount of accumulated deficit eliminated as of October 31, 1992, was
$11,938,813. Upon consummation of the reorganization, all deficits in the
surplus accounts were eliminated against paid-in capital.


6.  Shares Issued for Future Services:  In fiscal 1998 and 1997, the Company
issued 193,000 and 25,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at a value of
$144,750 and $53,125, respectively, for professional services to be received
in the future.  The deferred portion of these service contracts were being
recognized over the service period, (generally 24-60 months) and was reflected
as a reduction in equity until such time as the services are received.
Effective May 1, 1998, the amortized balances of the issue cost of the shares
issued were expensed or transferred as advances to the gaming related
projects.  These amounts are recoverable under the terms of the approved
management agreements.

7.  New Accounting Standards:  The American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants has issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the costs of start-up
activities."  This standard provides a change in the capitalization policy for
start up costs.  The standard is required for the Company's fiscal year-end
1999.  The Company has evaluated this standard and concluded its adoption will
have no material effect to the financial statements.

8. An outstanding current loan to an officer was reduced $37,647 to zero
before April 30, 1999.

9.  Income per common and common equivalent share are based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the quarters ended July 31,
1998 and 1997.  Stock options are included in 1998 and 1997 as common stock
equivalents to the extent that they are dilutive.  The Convertible debenture
is included in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998 as a common stock equivalent since
the debenture is dilutive.  The convertible preferred stock is included in
1998 since the convertible preferred stock is dilutive.  Shares used in the
diluted per share computations are as follows:

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter fiscal 1999 compared to restated first quarter fiscal 1998

Overview: Consolidated sales were $3,096,562 for the three months ended July
31, 1998, compared to $1,245,890 for the three months ended July 31, 1997, an
increase of (149%).   Sales decreased in the Avionics segment (71.9%),
increased in the Aircraft Modifications segment (254%), and decreased in the
Monitoring Services segment (40.1%). Sales included a sale by the Aircraft
Modifications segment of an aircraft after modification for approximately $2.1
million.

The Company recorded a net income from continuing operations of $465,914 in
the current quarter compared to  $468,078 in the comparable period of fiscal
1999.  The loss from discontinued operations was $55,339 for the quarter
compared to a net income of $329,440 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $131,093 for the current
quarter, a decrease of $250,395 from the prior year.  A cash repayment of
$289,580 was received by Indian Gaming to repay for previously reserved costs
related to the Stables.  Before the repayment, expenses increased $39,185 from
the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Discussion of the specific changes by operation at each business segment
follows:

Aircraft Modifications:  Sales from the Aircraft Modifications business
segment increased $2,001,141 (254%) from $788,229  in the first quarter of the
prior fiscal year to $2,789,370 in the current first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Sales included $2.1 million from the sale of the second aircraft purchased,
modified and resold as an expansion of the product lines at the Aircraft
Modifications segment.  The modification only product lines accounted for
sales of $689,370 a decrease of (12.5%) from the prior year.  First quarter
operating profit was $328,798 in fiscal 1999 and $299,818 in fiscal 1998.
Additional emphasis is being placed on the purchase, modify and resale product
line to increase market share of all modification products.

Avionics:  Avionics unit sales were $29,851 for the three months ended July
31, 1998 compared to $106,225 in the comparable period of the preceding year,
an decrease of (71.9%).  The decrease resulted from reduced sales to Douglas
Aircraft.  Operating profits for the three months ended July 31, 1998, were
$7,413 compared to  $37,452 for the three months ended July 31, 1997.  The
Company believes the sales volume will remain relatively stable with growth
from new projects for the next few years.

SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services:  Sales for the three months ended July
31, 1998 were $217,132 compared to sales of $362,761 for the comparable period
of the prior year a decrease of 40.1%.  Sales decreased when compared to the
prior year because of a special project winding down during the quarter.
Operating profit for the three months was $3,505 compared to $52,600 for the
three months ended July 31, 1997.  Fluctuations above the basic service
business revenues are expected from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Temporary Services:   This segment did not recognize any revenue in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998.  When the Company and the Tribes open
the Kansas Indian gaming facilities, management expects that a majority of the
personnel in the various Indian gaming enterprises will be staffed by
Temporary Services.

Management Services:
                           -General-

Indian Gaming Management: This segment did not receive any revenue and
incurred no expenses during the current quarter compared to $15,651 in
expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 for general and
administrative expenses associated with its continued efforts to explore
service opportunities related to the Indian Gaming Act of 1988.  All efforts
were advances toward the construction of the Stables.

The Company has advanced and invested a total of $6,759,261, reported as notes
receivable of $2,510,320 and net of a reserve of $2,718,928, in land, land
improvements, professional design fees and other consulting and legal costs
related to the development of Indian Gaming facilities.  Included in these
advances and investments are lands and other areas located adjacent to
residential developments.  The Company believes that these tracts could be
developed and sold for residential and commercial use other than Indian
gaming, if the gaming enterprises do not open.  Additional improvements,
including access roads, water and sewer services, etc. are planned for these
lands.   After these improvements, these lands may be sold in small tracts.
This would allow the Company to recover the majority, if not all, of the land
investments and other gaming costs.

                             -Princess Maria Casino-

The Company has a management agreement with the Miami Tribe to provide
management services to the Miami Tribe.  On July 9, 1992 the Tribe requested a
compact with the State of Kansas for Class III Indian full-casino Indian
gaming on Indian land known as the Maria Christiana Miami Reserve No. 35,
located in Miami County, Kansas.

The Miami Tribe's 1992 compact was the subject of a lawsuit filed in February
1993, in the Federal District Court, by the Miami Tribe, alleging the failure
to negotiate a compact in good faith by the State of Kansas.  The United
States District Court dismissed the Miami Tribe's suit against the State of
Kansas, the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Seminole v. State of
Florida.  The Supreme Court ruled that the "failure to negotiate" provision of
the IGRA did not allow an Indian tribe to compel a state by litigation to
negotiate a compact.

In February, 1993, former Kansas Governor Finney requested a determination of
the suitability of the Miami Indian land for Indian Gaming, under the IGRA,
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (the "BIA").  In May 1994, the NIGC again
requested the same determination.  Finally, in May 1995, an Associate
Solicitor within the BIA issued an opinion letter stating the Miami Tribe has
not established jurisdiction over the Miami land in Kansas.  This was the
first definitive statement received from the central office of the BIA in
three years.  The latest opinion is contrary to a September 1994 opinion of
the Tulsa Field Solicitor, in an Indian probate, stating that the Miami Tribe
has jurisdiction over the Miami Indian land in Kansas.  On July 11, 1995, the
U.S. Department of Justice issued a letter to the Associate Solicitor
expressing concern about the conclusions reached, based upon the analysis of
the case.

The Miami Tribe challenged this opinion in Federal Court.  To prove and
protect the sovereignty of the Miami Tribe, and other Indian tribes, relating
to their lands, on April 11, 1996, the Court ruled that the Miami Tribe did
not have jurisdiction because the BIA had not approved the Tribal membership
of the Princess Maria heirs, at the time the management agreement was
submitted, therefore, the Court ordered that the NIGC's determination (that
Reserve No. 35 is not "Indian land" pursuant to IGRA) was affirmed.  However,
the Court noted in its ruling that nothing precludes the Tribe from
resubmitting its management agreement to the NIGC along with evidence of the
current owners' consent and newly adopted tribal amendments.  On February 22,
1996, the BIA approved the Miami Tribe's constitution and the membership of
the heirs.  The Tribe resubmitted the management agreement. Although the Court
noted that the Tribe could resubmit the management agreement, the Court did
not pass on whether or not a new submission will obtain approval.

The Tribe resubmitted the management agreement and land question to
the NIGC in June 1996.  In July 1996, the NIGC again requested an opinion
from the BIA.  On July 23, 1997, the Tribe and the Company were notified
that the BIA had again determined that the land was not suitable for
gaming, for political policy reasons, without consideration of the
membership in the Miami Tribe or recent case law, and the NIGC had to
again deny the management agreement.  The Tribe filed a suit in the
Federal District Court in Kansas City, Kansas.

On May 15, 1998, the Court determined that the land was suitable for gaming
and remanded the case to the BIA for the documentation.  Therefore, even
though the Company and the Tribe believe the BIA will agree with the Court
that the land is "Indian land", and in compliance with all laws and
regulations, for a variety of reasons, there is no assurance that the
Management Agreement will be approved.  Subsequent to April 30, 1998, the NIGC
approved the management agreement on January 7, 2000.  Under the Management
Agreement, as approved, the Company, as manager, is to receive a 30% share of
the profits and reimbursement of development costs.

The total advances and investment related to the Princess Maria at July 31,
1998, was $582,054.  This amount is net of a reserve of $1,413,511, which
represents the current net realizable value of the advanced receivable.

A lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District
of Kansas by the State of Kansas against us, the United States, the Business
Committee members of the Miami Tribe and others on October 14, 1999,
challenging the determination by the Department of the Interior and the United
States District Court for the District of Kansas that the Miami Princess Maria
Reserve No. 35 was Indian Land.  The State of Kansas requested an order by the
Court preventing further development on the Indian land by us and further
discussions about the Indian land by us or Mr. Stewart, our President.

All of the defendants have asked the Court to dismiss the case because
they believe the determination of Indian land is a power reserved for the
United States by the constitution of the United States.  A ruling by the court
is expected in December 2000.

                   -Stables Bingo and Off-Track Betting-

Additionally, the Company has a signed Management Agreement with the Miami and
Modoc Tribes.   A class III Indian Gaming Compact for a joint-venture by the
Miami and Modoc Tribes, both of Oklahoma, has been approved by the State of
Oklahoma and by the Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Indian Affairs for the U.S.
Department of the Interior.  The Compact was published in the Federal Register
on February 6, 1996, and is therefore, deemed effective.  The Compact
authorizes Class III (Off-Track Betting "OTB") along with Class II (high
stakes bingo) at a site within the City of Miami, Oklahoma.

The Company is providing consulting and construction management
services in the development of the facility and will manage the joint-
venture operation for the tribes.  The STABLES facility is approximately
24,000 square feet and located directly south of the Modoc Tribal
Headquarters building in Miami.  The complex will contain off-track
betting windows, a bingo hall, sports bar, and a restaurant.  The
Company's Management Agreement was approved by the NIGC on January 14,
1997.  Under the Management Agreement, as approved, the Company, as
manager, is to receive a 30% share of the profits and reimbursement of
development costs.

Construction on the STABLES began with the ground breaking on March
27, 1997.  The STABLES opened in September 1998.  The estimated project cost
is approximately $3,500,000.  Funds have been provided from the Company's
operations and long-term financing for project completion was arranged.

Long-term financing was provided by Miller & Schroeder Investments
Corporation.  The loan was dated May 29, 1998, in the amount of $1,850,000 at
a rate of prime plus 2% and was funded as needed during the phases of
construction with interest only being payable up to August 1, 1998. Commencing
on September 1, 1998, through August 1, 2003, monthly installments of
principal and interest to sufficiently fully amortize the principle balance
will be due.

As a part of the Management Contract approved by the NIGC on January
14, 1997, between the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Butler National
Service Corporation, and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the Modoc Tribe
of Oklahoma (the "Tribes"), the Company agreed to loan the Tribes
$3,500,000 at 2% over prime, to be repaid over five years, for the
construction and operation of the Stables gaming establishment.  At July
31, 1998, the Company had advanced $2,584,655 under the contract and reported
$408,333 current note receivable, $2,101,987 long-term note receivable and
$60,435 reserve for Indian gaming development.  Security under the contract
includes the Tribes' profits from all tribal gaming enterprises and all assets
of the Stables except the land and building.


                     -Shawnee Reserve No. 206-

In 1992, the Company signed a consulting agreement and has maintained a
business relationship with approximately seventy Indian and Non-Indian heirs
(the "Owners") of the Newton McNeer Shawnee Reserve No. 206 ("Shawnee Reserve
No. 206").  This relationship includes advances for assistance in the defense
of the property against adverse possession (by one family member) in exchange
for being named the manager for any Indian gaming enterprises that may be
established on the land.  As a result of the Company's assistance, the Owners
are in the process of becoming the undisputed beneficial owners of
approximately 72 acres of the Shawnee Reserve No. 206 as ordered by the United
States District Court for the District of Kansas.  The Company has advanced
funds to purchase an additional 9 acres contiguous to the Indian land.

Shawnee Reserve No. 206 has been a part of the Shawnee Reservation in Kansas
Territory since 1831 and was reserved as Indian land and not a part of the
State of Kansas when Kansas became a state in 1861.  The Indian land is
approximately 25 miles southwest from downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

The Company maintains a relationship and has a consulting agreement to assist
with the proposed establishment.  The Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma is not a
federally recognized tribe.  The tribe, sometimes known as the Loyal Shawnee
Tribe, is a tribe organized by a 1960 federal resolution operating within and
as a part of the federally recognized Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.  The Indian
Owners of Shawnee Reserve No. 206 have federal Indian membership cards showing
them as Cherokee-Shawnee members of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.  The
Shawnee and the Cherokee are currently working to reaffirm the Shawnee's
jurisdiction over the Indian land and to obtain federal recognition for the
Shawnee Tribe.

The Company believes there is a significant opportunity for Indian gaming on
the Shawnee Reserve No. 206.  However, none of the above agreements have been
approved by the BIA, or the Cherokee Nation or any other regulatory authority.
There can be no assurance that these or future agreements will be approved nor
that any Indian gaming will ever be established on the Shawnee Reserve, or
that the Company will be the Management Company.

The total advances and investment related to Shawnee Reserve No. 206 at July
31, 1998 was $716,801.  This amount is net of a reserve of $849,222, which
represents the current net realizable value of the advanced receivable.

                              -Modoc Bingo-

The Company signed a consulting agreement with the Modoc Tribe, to construct
and operate an Indian gaming facility on Modoc Reservation lands in Eastern
Oklahoma.  The management agreement was filed with the NIGC on June 7, 1994,
for review and approved on July 11, 1997.  The Tribe and the Company have not
determined a schedule for this project.  There is no assurance that further
action will be taken until the Stables is in operation and well established or
if ever.

The total advances and investment related to the Modoc Tribe at July 31, 1998
was $210,613.  This amount is net of a reserve of $337,436, which represents
the current net realizable value of the advanced receivable.  The Tribe is
working to acquire additional Indian land before this project can be started.

<PAGE>

                           -Other Gaming-

The Company is currently reviewing other potential Indian gaming opportunities
with other tribes.  These discussions are in the early stages of negotiation
and there can be no assurance that these gaming opportunities will be
successful.

The various management agreements have not yet been approved by the various
governing agencies and therefore are not filed as exhibits to the document.

The total advances and investment related to other gaming at July 31, 1998,
was $6,645.  This amount is net of a reserve of $64,969 which represents the
current net realizable value of the advanced receivable.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative): Expenses in the
three months ended July 31, 1998, were $131,093 or 4.2% of sales compared to
$381,488 or 30.6% of sales for the three months ended July 31, 1997, a
decrease of $250,395 or 65.6%. A repayment of advanced expenses of $289,850
was received from Indian gaming during the quarter.

Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 1998, decreased $28,024
from $70,014 in the first quarter of the prior year to $41,990.  The Company
continues to use its line of credit to maintain operations.  The Company
acquired a Lear 35 during fiscal 1996 for debt on an inventory floor plan of
$1,500,000, the majority of the increase in interest expense relates to this
acquisition and the related debt and the increased borrowing on the credit
line.  The Company sold the Learjet model 35 resulting in reduced interest
cost for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  The Company plans to use the
inventory floor plan to acquire a model 25 for modification and resale during
fiscal 1999.

Other income(expense) is income of $82 in the quarter ended July 31, 1998,
versus income of $807 in the quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The fiscal 1998
settlement gain of $426,947 is related to Note 2.

The Company employed 69 at July 31, 1998, and 63 at July 31, 1997.

EARNINGS

The Company recorded a profit of $410,575 in the three months ended July 31,
1998.  This is comparable to a profit of $797,518 (see note 2) in the three
months ended July 31, 1997.  Income per share is $.04 and income per share is
$.11 for the three months ending July 31, 1998, and July 31, 1997,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Borrowed funds have been used primarily for working capital.  Bank (Industrial
State Bank) debt related to the Company's operating line was  $642,677 at July
31, 1998, and  was $719,094 at July 31, 1997.

The Company's unused line of credit was approximately $107,323 as of July 31,
1998 and approximately $30,906 as of July 31, 1997.  The interest rate on the
Company's line of credit is prime plus two, as of September 15, 1998, the
interest rate is 10.50%.

The Company plans to continue using the promissory notes payable to fund
working capital.   The Company believes the extensions will continue and does
not anticipate the repayment of these notes in fiscal 2000. The extensions of
the promissory notes payable is consistent with prior years.  If the Bank were
to demand repayment of the notes payable the Company currently does not have
enough cash to pay off the notes without materially adversely affecting the
financial condition of the Company.

The Company does not, as of July 31, 1998, have any material
commitments for other capital expenditures other than the Management Services
segment's requirements under the terms of the Indian gaming Management
Agreements.  These requirements are further described in this section.

Depending upon the development schedules, the Company, through Management
Services, will need additional funds to complete its currently planned Indian
gaming opportunities.  The Company will use current cash available, and
additional funds, for the start up and construction of gaming facilities. The
Company anticipates initially obtaining these funds from:  internally
generated working capital and borrowings.  After a few gaming facilities
become operational, gaming operations will generate additional working capital
for the start up and construction of other gaming facilities.  The Company
expects that its start up and construction financing of gaming facilities will
be replaced by other financial lenders, long term financing through debt
issue, or equity issues.

As a part of the Management Contract approved by the NIGC on January
14, 1997, between the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Butler National
Service Corporation, and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the Modoc Tribe
of Oklahoma (the "Tribes"): the Company agreed to loan the Tribes
$3,500,000 at 2% over prime, to be repaid over five years, for the
construction and operation of the Stables gaming establishment.  At April
30, 1998, the Company had advanced $2,074,797 to the Tribes under the
contract and reported $408,333 current note receivable and $1,666,464
long-term note receivable.  Security under the contract includes the
Tribes' profits from all tribal gaming enterprises and all assets of the
Stables except the land and building.

On May 29, 1998, the Stables Management Contract was further funded
by a loan to the Company from a financial institution in the amount of
$1,850,000 at 2% over prime, to be repaid over five years.  As security
for the $1,850,000 loan, the Company pledged its contract rights to the
repayment of the $3,500,000 loan and its Manager's share (30%) of the
profits from the Stables.

The Company's common stock is registered with the NASDAQ market system under
the symbol BUKS.  The Company's depressed stock price, resulting from the
constant selling pressure of the conversion shares may cause future delisting
and may reduce the liquidity of the Company's stock in the market and
therefore, the ability to raise capital through the issue of equity
securities.
