(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         ------------------------------------------

         The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the
opinion of management the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and
the results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

         Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Upon consolidation all material
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

         Inventories

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market.

         Earnings per share

         The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 when calculating earnings per share and is calculated by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents had no dilutive
impact for the period. Shares used in the computation are as follows:

(3)      Note Payable-related parties
         ----------------------------

         Pursuant to the Helionetics bankruptcy proceedings, the Helionetics,
Inc. Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (Helionetics Committee) entered
into a settlement agreement with the Company, Ms. Susan Barnes and her
affiliates, and Bernard B. Katz and in connection therewith the Company issued
a senior secured promissory note in the amount of $800,000 in favor of the
Helionetics Committee and secured junior subordinated promissory note in the
amount of $500,000 in favor of Ms. Susan Barnes. The notes bear interest at
10.5% and 10% respectively and are subordinated to any new financing that the
Company may require. The senior note is payable in installments of $7,318 per
month for a period of five years, with a final balloon payment in December
2003. No payment can be made on the junior note until the senior note is paid
in full. Ms Barnes loaned the Company in 1997 and 1998 a total of
approximately $248,400. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 such loan had
an outstanding balance of $56,000 and $96,000, respectively. The loan bears
interest at the prime rate plus 2% and is due on demand.

(4)      Income Taxes
         ------------

         The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method,
which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the difference are expected to reverse.

         The income tax expense for June 30, 1999 is comprised of $49,800
state income tax and $5,000 of foreign tax. No provision for federal income
tax was provided for the period as a result of the Company's net operating
loss carryforwards.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        of operations
        -------------

         The discussion in this Item should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in Item 1 of
this report on Form 10-Q. The discussion in this Item contains forward-looking
statements relating to future events or financial results, such as statements
indicating that "we believe", "we expect", "we anticipate", or "we intend"
that certain events may occur or certain trends may continue. Other
forward-looking statements include statements about the future development of
products or technologies, Year 2000 compliance, facilities needs, our
liquidity and capital needs and other statements about future matters. All
these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. You should
not rely too heavily on these statements, although they reflect the good faith
judgement of our management, they involve future events that might not occur.
We can only base such statements on facts and factors that we currently know.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As discussed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998,
the Company continued to rely on its internal cash flow to fund its
operations. This source of liquidity while sufficient for its current
operating plan , could not support the increase in its customer backlog and
thereby is risking the possibility of losing some customer orders. Moreover,
AIM Energy, Inc. will require $250,000 in its effort to reduce the cost of its
AIM products to further compete in the marketplace and increase its market
share. The aforementioned cash flow problem was mitigated to some degree by
receiving $125,000 increase in the Company's credit line shortly after June
30, 1999. No assurances can be given that the Company can secure any
additional financing that it may require.

         Working capital at June 30, 1999 was a deficit of $527,900, as the
result of $226,384 in installment payments due in the first quarter 2000 to
SPL creditors. Including this installment, the working capital deficit at June
30, 1999 decreased by $234,700 compared with a deficit of $762,600 in December
31, 1998. Receivables and inventories, a significant component of working
capital, increased by approximately $415,100, while payables and accrued
expenses increased by approximately $128,200.


         Year 2000 Issues - As described more fully in the Company's Form
10-K, the Company does not have major year 2000 problems due to the nature of
its products. It has invested approximately $30,000 to update its hardware and
management system software to comply with the year 2000 issues.

         Results of Operations

         Revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
$1,307,400 and $1,306,300. Revenues for the six month periods were $2,708,300
and $2,501,200, respectively. Revenues increased by approximately $1,100 and
$207,100 respectively, while sales for the three months were comparable to the
prior year. SPL reported revenues of $2,300,700 in 1999 compared with $1,867,400
in 1998 for an increase of $433,300. AIM Energy's revenues for the three and
six month periods ended 1999 and 1998 were $407,600 and $604,600, respectively,
as a result of more competition in their industry.

         Cost of sales for the period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were 43.4%
and 44.3%, respectively, while cost of sales for the three months ended June 30,
1999 was 14% lower than the comparable period of 1998. This was primarily the
result of increased aircraft sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $529,900 and
$1,068,700 as compared with $503,700 and $1,072,800 in the same period in
1998.  These costs remained constant while sales continued to increase in
fiscal 1999.
