               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 and six months ended October
31, 1998 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected
for the year ending April 30, 2000.

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.  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.

Reserves are recorded 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 $3,377,828 and $3,492,987 at
October 31, 1999 and April 30, 1999, respectively, related to the
development of Indian gaming facilities.  These amounts are net of
reserves of $2,718,928 and $2,718,928 in fiscal year 2000 and 1999,
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 former 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. Security
under the contract includes the Tribes' profits from all 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.  Amounts to be received on the notes are 2000 - $486,776;
2001 - $347,285; 2002 - $382,800; 2003 - $428,000 and 2004 - $125,540.

3.  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.

4.  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.

5.  During the first six months of fiscal 2000, 1,332,116 shares were issued
to reduce the convertible preferred stock by $159,000.  Convertible debt was
reduced by $82,000 with the issuance of 1,226,162 shares of common stock.

6.  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.

7.  Earnings Per Share:  Earnings per common share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Stock options,
convertible preferred, and convertible debentures have been considered in the
dilutive earnings per share calculation, but not used in fiscal 2000 and
fiscal 1999 because they are anti-dilutive.

8.  Dividend of Subsidiary Stock to Shareholders:  On May 4, 1999 the
Company announced it would distribute to its shareholders the stock in the
subsidiary Butler National Service Corporation (BNSC).  The assets of the
subsidiary totalled approximately $1,623,000 and liabilities totalled
approximately $1,620,000.  The distribution will be made when the filings
are approved by the Security and Exchange Commission.  BNSC holds a contract
to manage an Indian Gaming facility (The Stables) and will manage all Indian
Gaming facilities when there is a contract between the Tribe and BNSC.

9.  Research and Development: The Company charges to operations research and
development costs.  The amount charged in the quarter ended October 31, 1999
was approximately $128,082.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second quarter fiscal 2000 compared to second quarter fiscal 1999

Overview: Consolidated sales were $2,652,099 for the six months ended October
31, 1999, compared to $4,237,290 for the six months ended October 31, 1998, a
decrease of (37.4%).   Sales for the second fiscal quarter were $1,172,320
compared to $1,140,728 for the three months ended October 31, 1998.  Sales for
the six month period increased in the Avionics segment (10.1%), and decreased
in the Aircraft Modifications segment (50.7%), and increased in the Monitoring
Services segment (46.0%). Sales for the six months of fiscal 1999 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 $9,643 in
the current six months compared to $151,163 in the comparable period of fiscal
1999.  The loss from discontinued operations was zero for the six months
compared to a loss of ($315,328) for the six months ended October 31,
1998.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $405,127 for the current
quarter, a decrease of $69,292 from the prior year.

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

Aircraft Modifications:  Sales from the Aircraft Modifications business
segment decreased $1,794,120 (50.7%) from $3,541,150  in the first six months
of the prior year to $1,747,030 in the first six months ending October 31,
1999.  Gross profit decreased from $524,946 in the six months ending October
31, 1998 to $243,655 in the six months ending October 1999.  Second quarter
fiscal 2000 sales were $737,567 compared to $751,780 in fiscal 1999.  Second
quarter gross profit was $(46,315) and $14,668, respectively.  The fiscal 1999
sales included the sale of a learjet for $2,100,000.

Avionics:  Avionics unit sales were $245,673 for the six months ended October
31, 1999 compared to $155,054 in the comparable period of the preceding year,
an increase of (58.4%).  The increase resulted from wrap up sales to Douglas
Aircraft.  Operating profits for the six months ended October 31, 1999, were
$42,850 compared to ($18,459) for the six months ended October 31, 1998.  The
Company believes the sales volume will remain relatively stable with some
growth from new projects for the next few years.

SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services:  Sales for the six months ended October
31, 1999 were $697,902 compared to sales of $465,271 for the comparable period
of the prior year an increase of (46.0%).  Sales increased when compared to the
prior year because of a special project starting during the year.
Operating profit for the six months was $210,047 compared to $4,803 for the
six months ended October 31, 1998.  Sales for the second quarter fiscal 2000
were $312,721, an increase of $64,133 from the same quarter of fiscal 1999.
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 2000 and fiscal 1999.

Indian Gaming Management (a division of Butler National Corporation): This
segment earned interest income of $43,178 during the quarter and $87,331 for
the first six months and incurred no expenses during the current quarter.  In
fiscal 1999, $27,868 was expensed in the first half of fiscal 1999 for
general and administrative expenses associated with its continued
efforts to explore service opportunities related to the Indian Gaming Act of
1988.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative): Expenses in the six
months ended October 31, 1999, were $691,472 or 26.1% of sales compared to
$605,512 or 14.3% of sales for the six months ended October 31, 1998, an
increase of $85,960 or 14.2%.  This increase was related to increased
audit fees.

Interest expense for the six months ended October 31, 1999, decreased $19,709
from $88,227 in the second quarter of the prior year to $68,518.  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 decrease 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 half of fiscal 1999.  The Company plans to use the
inventory floor plan to acquire a model 25 for modification and resale during
fiscal 2000 and 2001.

Other income(expense) is income of $4,558 in the six months ended October
31, 1999, versus expense of $12,676 in the six months ended October 31, 1998.

The Company employed 56 at October 31, 1999, and 51 at October 31, 1998.

EARNINGS

The Company recorded a profit of $9,643 in the six months ended October 31,
1999.  This is comparable to a loss of $164,165 in the six months ended
October 31, 1998.  Earnings per share is a profit of $.01 and a loss of
($.02) for the six months ending October 31, 1999, and October 31, 1998,
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 $419,887 at
October 31, 1999, and was $436,260 at October 31, 1998.

The Company's unused line of credit was approximately $80,113 as of October
31, 1999 and approximately $63,740 as of October 31, 1998.  The interest rate
on the Company's line of credit is prime plus two, as of December 15, 1999,
the interest rate is 10.25%

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 October 31, 1999, 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,  and its affiliate Butler National Service Corporation, 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.

The Company was initially listed in the national over-the-counter market in
1969, under the symbol "BUTL".  Effective June 8, 1992, the symbol was
changed to "BLNL".  On February 24, 1994, the Company was listed on the
small cap market under the symbol "BUKS".  The Company's common stock has
been delisted from the small cap category effective January 1, 1999 and is
now listed in the over-the-counter (OTCBB) category.

                            OTHER INFORMATION

Responses to items 3 and 5 are omitted since these items are either
inapplicable or the response thereto would be negative.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

          The Company had an employment agreement with an individual
          (Brenda Shadwick) who the Company terminated in April 1995.
          This individual filed a lawsuit against the Company, the
          President of the Company, and various corporate subsidiaries,
          alleging the Company wrongfully terminated the individual's
          employment in breach of the contract.  The suit was filed in
          October, 1995, in State Court in Johnson County, Kansas.

          The Company and the individual reached an agreement to settle
          and release all claims and counterclaims on May 1, 1997.  The
          individual dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.  The terms of
          the settlement required, monthly payments by the Company to
          the individual in the amount of $6,000 per month during fiscal
          1998 and fiscal 1999.  The final payment was made in April
          1999.

          The Company acquired RF, Inc. from Marvin and Donna Eisenbath
          on April 21, 1994.  The Company exchanged 650,000 shares of the
          Company's common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding
          shares of RF, Inc.  The Eisenbath's sought for some time to
          reacquire the ownership of RF, Inc.  The Eisenbath's filed a
          lawsuit against Butler National seeking to rescind the sale
          of RF, Inc. stock and for damages.

          Butler National and the Eisenbath's reached an agreement to
          settle and release all claims and counterclaims effective
          April 30, 1997, ("Release Agreement").  The Eisenbath's
          dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.  In addition to the
          releases, under the terms of the agreement, Butler National
          received on June 26, 1997, 600,000 shares of the Company's
          common stock and certain payments over the next three years.
          Butler National released the Eisenbath's from the terms of
          the employment contract and the April 24, 1994 Stock Purchase
          Agreement.  These documents released the Eisenbath's from the
          agreement not to compete with the Company in the food
          distribution industry.

          Butler National recorded a net gain (principally noncash) in
          the first quarter of 1998 for this transaction after
          consideration of $1,078,544 of costs associated with the
          claims, counter-claims and settlement.  In addition Butler
          National recognized an additional gain as the promissory
          note payments are received in cash.  Although the effective
          date of the transaction as agreed to by both parties is
          April 30, 1997, the transfer of the stock and related proceeds
          was not completed until June 1997, see also Item 1, General
          Discontinued Operations, page 3, regarding the bankruptcy of
          RF, Inc.

          On September 20, 1998, the RFI bankruptcy trustee filed an
          action alleging a number of claims against Butler National
          and its officers including a claim for repayment of
          preferential payments to the bankruptcy estate.  Butler
          National settled the lawsuit on July 26, 1999, by the
          payment of $250,000 to the court.  See Item 1, General,
          Discontinued Operations, page 3, regarding the details of
          the bankruptcy of RFI.

          In December of 1997, Butler National sold Convertible Preferred
          Stock to certain offshore investors.  Beginning in February of
          1998, these investors began converting the Preferred Stock into
          Common Stock and the price of the Company's stock declined.  As
          reported earlier, the Company received notice from NASDAQ stating
          that the Common Stock of the Company would be delisted by
          NASDAQ if the price did not trade at a bid price of $1.00 or
          more for ten (10) business days prior to August 6, 1998.  The
          delisting of the Company's Common Stock would be a default
          under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as
          under the therms of certain Convertible Debentures previously
          issued.  The Company considered a number of alternative actions
          including a reverse stock split, a repurchase of common shares
          on the open market and/or the repurchase of the convertibles
          at a premium to increase the price of the Common Stock.

          After evaluation of various alternatives for what Butler National
          believed the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the
          Convertible Debentures engaged in inappropriate actions and
          representations of being long term investors and yet actually
          began converting within 45 days after the initial agreement,
          we announced plans to stop conversions on July 7, 1998 of the
          Convertible Preferred Stock and Convertible Debentures at prices
          below $2.75 per share.  On July 17, 1998, two of the holders of
          the Convertible Preferred Stock (Austost Anstalt Schaan and
          Balmore Funds, SA) filed a lawsuit (the "Action") against
          Butler National in Chancery Court in Delaware alleging among
          other things, breach of contract, violation of Delaware law
          and violation of the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
          The Action sought an injunction to force Butler National to
          convert the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with
          its terms and for unspecified monetary damages.

          On January 25, 1999 Butler National announced that an agreement
          had been reached with the Holders of the Class B Convertible
          Preferred Stock to settle the lawsuit against the Company.  Under
          the agreement, the Holders of the Preferred are allowed to
          convert up to ten percent (10%) of the face value of the
          Preferred into common stock in any month until the entire issue
          is converted.  The face value at the time of settlement was
          $785,000 allowing $78,500 per month to be converted under the
          plan.  However, if the bid price is above $1.45 for three
          trading days, the Holders will be allowed to convert up to a
          total of 30% per month or $235,500 of face value of the Preferred.
          The conversion amount will increase five percent (5%) for each
          $.20 increase in market price.  The agreed conversion price is
          seventy percent of the average bid price for the previous five
          trading days.

          With the exception of 30,000 common shares owned at settlement
          by the Holders, sales of the previous converted shares, 148,849
          shares, plus any newly converted common shares, will be limited
          to the greater of $30,000 or twenty-five percent (25%) of the
          previous weeks trading volume.  Additionally, accrued dividends
          ($58,875) on the Preferred Stock will be paid in shares of common
          stock at $.57 per share.  The holders agree to waive all future
          dividends.  All transactions are being handled through one
          broker and all activity is reported on a weekly basis.  The
          Holders also received 770,000 three-year warrants to purchase
          restricted common stock at $1.45 per share.

          On April 30, 1999 Butler National entered into an agreement with
          the Holders of the Convertible Debentures similar to the
          agreements with the Holders of the Convertible Preferred.  The
          face value at the time of this agreement was $650,000 allowing
          $65,000 per month to be converted under the plan at a conversion
          price equal to 80% of the five (5) day average closing bid for
          the five (5) trading days prior to the conversion, provided,
          however, that if the closing price increases to $1.45 per share
          or more for three (3) consecutive trading days, the Holder will
          have the option to convert an additional 20% or $130,000 of
          outstanding principal amount of Debentures.  All transactions
          are being handled through one broker and all activity is reported
          on a weekly basis.  The Holders also received 325,000 three-year
          warrants to purchase restricted common stock at $1.45 per share.

          Avcon and Butler National used an outside engineering firm to
          assist with the Aircraft Modification Avcon Fin project and the
          related STC's.  The individual filed suit against the Company for
          final payment under the contract.  However, the Company did not
          feel that all work products had been delivered.  In fiscal 1999
          the Company settled the lawsuit and made final payment to the
          engineer and the engineering work product was delivered as
          required by the contract.  The Company had an account payable
          to the individual equal to the agreed upon settlement to be paid
          upon delivery of the complete engineer work product.

          As of September 15, 2000, there are no other known legal
          proceedings pending against the Company.  The Company considers
          all such unknown proceedings, if any, to be ordinary litigation
          incident to the character of the business.  The Company believes
          that the resolution of those unknown claims will not, individually
          or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
          financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the
          Company.

Item 2. Changes in Securities
          The Company issued 1,332,116 shares of common stock related to
          the convertible preferred stock, and 1,226,162 shares of common
          stock related to the convertible debenture.
