ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 4, 1998 (the 
"Asset Purchase Agreement"), effective December 4, 1998, the Registrant, 
through a corporation wholly owned by its 80% owned subsidiary, HEICO Aerospace 
Holdings Corp. ("HEICO Aerospace"), acquired substantially all of the assets of 
Rogers-Dierks, Inc. ("Rogers-Dierks"). The closing of the transaction occurred 
on December 8, 1998. In consideration of this acquisition, the Registrant paid 
$14,134,000 in cash at the closing, and committed to pay approximately 
$1,057,000 in deferred payments over the next two years. Subject to meeting 
certain earnings objectives, Rogers-Dierks could receive additional 
consideration of up to $7,334,000 payable in cash or shares of the Registrant's 
Class A Common Stock. The purchase price will be adjusted based on the actual
net worth of Rogers-Dierks as of December 4, 1998. The purchase price of the
assets was determined through arms-length negotiations. This acquisition is
being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

Rogers-Dierks formerly designed and manufactured FAA-approved, factory-new jet 
engine replacement parts for sale directly to airlines and airmotives. The 
Registrant intents to continue to use the acquired assets for the same purposes 
as formerly used by Rogers-Dierks.

Subsequent to the closing of the transaction, Lufthansa Technik AG, which holds 
a 20% equity interest in HEICO Aerospace, made an additional investment of $3 
million in HEICO Aerospace.

The source of the purchase price was proceeds from a $120 million revolving 
credit facility entered into by the Registrant on July 30, 1998.

     Rogers-Dierks, Inc. and related pro forma information are not required by
