                           AVIATION DISTRIBUTORS, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 2001, and the results of its operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, and cash flows
for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. The results of
operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may
be reported for the remainder of 2001.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for reporting on Form 10-Q. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in connection with the Company's December 31, 2000
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The Company is highly leveraged. Furthermore, the Company's liquidity and
ability to meet its obligations as they become due for the remainder of 2001 are
subject to, among other things, continued access to the Company's Credit
Facility and compliance with the terms and covenants of the Company's Credit
Facility.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, the Company sustained substantial losses in
1999, 2000 and 2001; has used, rather than provided, cash in its operations in
1999 and 2000; and has deficits in working capital and stockholders' equity at
December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001.

Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the
accompanying balance sheets are dependent upon continued operations of the
Company. This in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and
to succeed in its future operations. A breach of any of the financial covenants
in the Company's Credit Facility could result in a default under this Credit
Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility,
the lender could elect to declare all amounts outstanding, together with accrued
interest, to be immediately due and payable.

Management has taken steps to revise its operations and financial requirements,
which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to
continue in existence. In 2000, the Company extended its Credit Facility due
date to June 24, 2010 and the maximum availability under its line of credit to
$26.8 million.


NOTE 3  - CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS:

In October 1997, the Company, its founder, its directors, certain of its
officers, a former officer and director, its former auditor and its underwriter
were named in three civil suits filed as class actions on


                                       4
<Page>


behalf of individuals claiming to have purchased the Company's Common Stock
during the period from March 1997 to September 1997, and seeking damages for
violation of federal securities laws. The federal court approved the settlement
of these three suits in March 1999. In connection with the settlement, the
Company incurred total expenses of $620,000 in 1999, of which $140,000 was paid
in cash and $480,000 was the value of 80,000 shares of Common Stock issued to
the plaintiffs at the time of the settlement.

In May 2000, in connection with an investigation by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") of alleged violations of federal securities laws by the
Company, the Company consented to the entry of a federal court injunction
enjoining the Company from future violations of the federal securities laws. The
Company did not admit or deny any allegations made by the SEC in the
investigation.

In October 2000, the Company entered into a plea agreement with the U.S.
Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, California under which the Company entered a
guilty plea to a three-count criminal information alleging that the Company
conspired to violate Title 15, United States Code,
Sections 77q(a)and 77x, and violated Title 15, United States Code, Sections
77x,78m(b)(2)(A), 78m(b)(5) and 78ff, and Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 240.13b2-1 in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial
records and the filing of the Company's financial statements during the period
through approximately August 1997. As a part of the plea agreement, the Company
agreed to pay a total fine of $750,000 payable $50,000 at the time of sentencing
(which occurred in November 2000), $150,000 on March 31, 2001, $250,000 on March
31, 2002, and $300,000 on March 31, 2003. In addition, the Company was placed on
probation until the fine is paid in full or until December 31, 2002, whichever
is later. The settlement fine has been recorded as $642,016, in the Company's
statement of operations as of September 30, 2000 based on the present value on
that date of the proposed payments (using a 10% interest assumption). The
Company has paid the first two installments on this settlement as of September
30, 2001.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles has indicted the Company's
founder, Osamah S. Bakhit, and Mr. Bakhit's trial is pending.  Any
judgment against Mr. Bakhit may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.

The Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings and
threatened legal and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of
its business. While the outcome of such proceedings and threatened proceedings
cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution
of these matters individually or in the aggregate will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

NOTE 4 - DEBT ARRANGEMENTS

On February 23, 2000, the Company amended its Credit Facility with GMAC to
extend the loan maturity date to June 24, 2010. In conjunction with this
amendment, GMAC was issued 208,762 warrants. These warrants and 126,600 warrants
issued to GMAC in 1998 gave GMAC warrants equal to 9.9% of the outstanding stock
of the Company or 335,362 warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.25
and the warrants expire on February 28, 2010. The fair value of the total
warrants issued to GMAC was determined to be $818,000 and such warrants are
being amortized to interest expense over a ten-year period beginning in 2000.

As a condition for the extension of the credit facility, the Company entered
into a $2,000,000 promissory note, due in a balloon payment on the earlier of
February 1, 2010, or if the Company's stock reaches a $6.00 per share value over
10 consecutive trading days, or the occurrence of one of several events, none of
which have occurred. The $2,000,000 has been reflected as debt issue



                                       5
<Page>


costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to
interest expense over the ten-year term of the promissory note. The note bears
interest at GMAC's Alternate Base Rate and interest is payable semi-annually.
GMAC has a fully perfected security interest against all assets of the Company
and to a personal guarantee and pledge of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock from the Company's founder.

On September 12, 2000 the Company received approval from GMAC for a $10 million
working capital line to finance the purchase of inventory related to the
servicing of the Company's contracts with major foreign airlines. The Company
implemented the use of this line in October, 2000 which is guaranteed by the
export-import Bank of the United States, the official export credit agency of
the U.S. government and which carries an interest rate of Prime plus 1.0%. The
working capital line is used in conjunction with the Company's $26.8 million
Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the
covenants of its line of credit with GMAC including an over advance on its line
of credit exceeding the Company's asset borrowing base of $2,674,445. GMAC has
waived the covenant violations for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

NOTE 5 -SALES

As can be seen in the table below, the Company derives the majority of its
revenue from distributed services sales. These sales involve the Company taking
possession of inventory purchased in order to fulfill a customer sales order.
The purchases are generally received and inspected by the Company before being
shipped on to the customer. The remainder of the Company's revenue is derived
through the sale of inventory the Company has purchased in bulk purchases and
put into its stock. As can be seen below, these bulk purchases have historically
had gross margins substantially higher than the Company's distributed services
sales. See Note 6 for further discussion on these inventories purchased for
stock purposes.

The Company's return policy allows customers up to ten days to return parts if
proper regulatory documentation has not been included. Returns occurring after
that are at the Company's discretion and include restocking fees. Historically,
returns have not been material to gross revenue.

NOTE 6 -INVENTORY

Historically, the Company has made bulk purchases of inventory. In general, bulk
inventory purchases allow the Company to obtain large inventories of aircraft
parts at a lower cost than can ordinarily be obtained by purchasing such parts
on an individual basis. Inventory acquired through bulk purchases is often not
expected to be sold immediately and will often take many years to dispose.
However, the Company normally yields a higher margin on sales of inventory
acquired through bulk purchases as opposed to inventory acquired for immediate
sale. The Company determines its reserve for obsolescence or excess inventory by
comparing the carrying value of inventory to current broker prices, by getting
periodic appraisals and by reviewing sales activities of bulk purchased
inventory by purchase class. The Company has a reserve for lower of cost or
market estimate and excess and/or obsolete inventory of $2,421,000 and $490,000
at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

The Company has approximately 90,000 stock keeping units ("sku") in its
inventory stock. In the current quarter, the Company has undertaken to test its
inventory by sku for the need of lower of cost or market and obsolescence
reserves. In the current quarter, approximately 37% of the Company's inventory
has been analyzed through a detailed market analysis, which consists of Company
sales personnel seeking quotes for each of its sku's. In the current quarter,
this analysis resulted in additional reserves for the Company's inventory of
approximately $1.3 million. The Company anticipates to continue this policy at
each quarter and anticipates analyzing a similar percentage of its inventory
each quarter.

Due to the nature of the inventory on-hand as described above, the Company
believes it is appropriate to make an estimation based on historical averages of
inventory to be sold within one year and classify the remaining balances of
inventory as non-current. The Company has classified $7,977,000 and $11,722,000
as non-current inventories as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion includes the operations of the Company for each of the
periods discussed. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto, which are included elsewhere in this document.

This discussion contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such
forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results
could differ from those described herein and future results may be subject to
numerous factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
The "forward looking statements" reflect the Company's current view about future
events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks,
uncertainties and assumptions include:

     -    The continued cooperation of the Company's lender, GMAC Commercial
          Credit LLC in waiving covenant violations, supporting its overadvance
          and not foreclosing on the Company's assets.

     -    Adverse consequences related to the Company's substantial debt.

     -    Continued losses through the aviation industry downturn.

     -    Further write-downs of the Company's inventories and accounts
          receivable.

     -    The Company's ability to acquire adequate inventory and to obtain
          favorable pricing for its inventory.

     -    Customer concentrations

The Company believes that its lender, GMAC, will continue to fund the Company's
overadvance and waive its covenant violations. Were the Company's lender to
foreclose on the Company's assets secured in its credit facility, the Company
would be liquidated.

In order to stem the continued losses the Company has incurred, Management has
reduced budgeted selling, general and administrative expenses. Budget cuts
include reduced business travel, professional fees, the elimination of 5 sales
and administrative positions and 15% to 25% salary cuts for the Company's
management.

OVERVIEW

Net sales consist primarily of gross sales, net of allowance for returns and
other adjustments. Cost of sales consists primarily of product costs, freight
charges and an inventory provision for lower of cost or market estimates,
damaged, excess and obsolete products. Product costs consist of the acquisition
costs of the products and costs associated with repairs, maintenance and
certification.

Net sales and gross profit fluctuate based on the volume and timing of sales
orders received during the period and the mix of aircraft parts contained in the
Company's inventory. The timing of bulk inventory purchases can impact sales and
gross profit. In general, bulk inventory purchases allow the Company to obtain
large inventories of aircraft parts at a lower cost than can ordinarily be
obtained by purchasing such parts on an individual basis.

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COMPANY'S MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Economic and other factors that are affecting the airline industry have
negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company's
business. Pricing of the inventory the Company needs for its business is
affected to a degree by the overall economic condition of the airline industry,
which has historically been volatile. The demand for after-market aircraft
engines and parts is driven primarily by flying hours or cycles.


                                       8
<Page>


These parts must be serviced or replaced at scheduled intervals. As a result,
the demand for after-market parts is a function of the volume of worldwide air
traffic. Additionally, factors such as the price of fuel affect the aircraft
parts market, since older aircraft (into which repaired or overhauled aircraft
parts are most often placed) become less economically viable as the price of
fuel increases. During a downturn in the aviation industry, there may be reduced
overall demand for the products the Company provides, lower selling prices for
its products and increased credit risk associated with doing business with
industry participants.

The aircraft parts aftermarket experienced a downturn during 2000, which has
continued and worsened in 2001. As a result, a number of companies in the
industry have encountered financial difficulties. Consequently, many
companies within the industry have been forced to sell inventory at reduced
prices in order to generate cash. The Company's gross margin and fair value
of inventory have been negatively affected by these deteriorating conditions.
Additionally, according to recent reports by a few large airlines, during
2001, the airline industry has begun to experience a significant slowdown in
overall traffic, which the Company's management believes has reduced demand
for aftermarket parts. The Company has experienced the affects of this
downturn in the second quarter of 2001. As a result, the Company has recorded
an increase to its inventory reserve of $1,285,000 for excess quantities and
lower of cost or market writedowns.

operations for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 (dollars in

NET SALES. Net sales decreased from $10.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $3.9 million or 38.4%. This decrease was mainly the result
of an overall slowdown in the aviation industry as a whole causing decreased
demand for the Company's inventory sales.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales decreased from $7.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 to $6.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2001, a decrease of $1.2 million or 15.8%. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the 38.4% decrease in net sales, increases in the Company's
reserves for excess and obsolete inventory and the overall decrease in gross
margins due to the decline in the aviation market as a whole.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased from $2.7 million or 26.5% of net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $0 gross margin or 0.0% of net
sales for the three months September 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.7 million or
100.0%. The decrease in gross profit dollars and percentage of net sales is due
to the substantial increase in inventory reserves of $1.3 million and pricing
pressures due to the overall industry slowdown.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of wages and commission expense, bad debt expense, rent
expense, professional fees, consulting expenses and travel expenses. The
Company's selling and administrative expense increased from $1.5 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $2.5 million for three months
ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $.9 million or 60.3%. This increase
is due primarily to a significant increase in the Company's allowance for bad
debt caused by customers' financial condition deteriorating as a result of
the slow-down in the aviation industry.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. The Company had income from operations of $.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a loss from operations
of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of
$2.8 million or 982.0%. The decrease in operating income is due to the decrease
in gross margins and increases in selling and administrative expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSES. Net interest expense decreased from $853,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 to $746,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001. This decrease was due to decreases in the Company's lending rate
experienced in the third quarter.

NET LOSS. The Company had a net loss of $570,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to a loss of $3.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, due to the foregoing factors.

</Table>

NET SALES. Net sales were $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
decrease in sales are due primarily to the industry slowdown the aviation
industry has experienced in the second and third quarter of 2001. There have
been substantial changes in the Company's customer base due to the overall
decline in the aviation industry. The Company has increased its market share in
South America and has incurred slowdowns in its European sales.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased from $21.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, an increase of $594,000 or 2.8%. This increase was primarily
attributable to pricing pressures due to the industry slow-down realized in the
second and third quarter of 2001 and substantial increases in the Company's
reserves for inventories of approximately $1.3 million.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased from $7.3 million or 25.6% of net sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $2.9 million or 11.9% of net sales
for the nine months September 30, 2001, a decrease of $4.3 million or 64.4%. The
decrease in gross profit dollars and percentage of net sales is due to the
substantial increase in inventory reserves and pricing pressures due to the
overall industry slowdown.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of wages and commission expense, bad debt expense, rent
expense, professional fees, consulting expenses and travel expenses. The
Company's selling and administrative expense increased from $4.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $7.0 million for nine months ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $2.4 million or 53.5%. This increase is due
primarily to a significant increase to the Company's bad debt reserve of


                                       11
<Page>


$666,000 caused by customers financial status deteriorating through the aviation
industry slow-down, professional fees and travel expenses as the Company has
tried to increase sales through new distribution channels.


INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. The Company had income from operations of $1.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a loss from operations
of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The loss from
operations is due to the decrease in gross margins and increases in selling and
administrative expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSES. Interest expense was $2.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. The Company experienced greater use of its line of credit which was offset
by decreases in the Company's lendor's lending rate.

NET LOSS. The Company had a net loss of $426,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to a loss of $6.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, due to the foregoing factors.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's cash flows from operating activities used $7.6 million and
provided $375,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The largest cash uses in the 2000 period were an increase in
accounts receivable of $5.5 million, an increase in inventory of $3.3 million
which includes a bulk purchase of $3.6 million, offset by an increase in
accounts payable and checks issued not yet presented for payment totalling $1.3
million. For the 2001 period, cash was provided by operating activities
primarily from increases in accounts payable of $1.1 million and a decrease in
inventory (predominantly due to increased excess, obsolete and lower of cost or
market reserves) and accounts receivable of $3.2 million and $2.7 million,
respectively.

The 2000 financing activities provided cash of $7.7 million, primarily resulting
from an increase in line of credit borrowings. The 2001 financing activities
used $305,000 of cash due to principal payments on long-term debt and capital
leases of $486,000 and $9,000, respectively, offset by a $190,000 increase on
the Company's line of credit borrowings.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $20.2 million and $17.3 million as
of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. This was primarily
due to increases in borrowings on the Company's line of credit and accounts
payable resulting from the cash requirements for increases in the Company's
operating losses and increases in the Company's reserves for excess and obsolete
inventory and bad debts.

On February 23, 2000, the Company amended its Credit Facility with GMAC to
extend the loan maturity date to June 24, 2010. In conjunction with this
amendment, GMAC was issued 208,762 warrants. These warrants and 126,600 warrants
issued to GMAC in 1998 gave GMAC warrants equal to 9.9% of the outstanding stock
of the Company or 335,362 warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is $.25
and the warrants expire on February 28, 2010. The fair value of the total
warrants issued to GMAC was determined to be $818,283 and such warrants are
being amortized to interest expense over a ten year period beginning in 2000.

As a condition for the extension of the credit facility, the Company entered
into a $2,000,000 promissory note, due in a balloon payment on the earlier of
February 1, 2010, or if the Company's stock reaches a $6 per share value over 10
consecutive days, or the occurrence of one of several events, none of which have
occurred. The $2,000,000 has been reflected as debt issue costs in the
accompanying Consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest
expense over the term of the promissory note. The note bears interest at GMAC's
Alternate Base Rate and interest is payable semi-annually.

On September 12, 2000 the Company received approval from GMAC for a $10


                                       12
<Page>


million working capital line to finance the purchase of inventory related to the
servicing of the Company's contracts with major foreign airlines. The Company
implemented the use of this line in October, 2000 which is guaranteed by the
export-import Bank of the United States the official export credit agency of the
U.S. government and which carries an interest rate of Prime plus 1%. The working
capital line is used in conjunction with the Company's $26.8 million Credit
Facility.


The Company's long-term debt consists of the following at September 30, 2001:
(i) term loan of $500,000 to GMAC, due in quarterly principal installments of
$125,000 with an interest rate of 2.0 percent above the lenders alternate base
rate; (ii) note payable of $100,000 to the founder of the Company (iii) capital
lease obligations of $12,670, (v) settlement fee debt of $496,230, (vi) note
payable of $300,000 to corporations' and (vii) note payable of $2,000,000 to
GMAC, due in February 2010.

The Company's credit facility with GMAC is an asset-based line of credit secured
by accounts receivable and inventory and is the primary source for the Company
to finance its operations and growth. At September 30, 2001 the balance on the
credit facility was $23,882,245. The Company may need to increase its capital
base in order to continue to meet its growth objectives. There can be no
assurance that such additional capital will be available on a timely basis or at
acceptable terms.

regarding realization of assets and steps management has taken with respect to
its operations and financing requirements.
