ITEM 2.       ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

ACQUISITION OF CUSTOM WOODWORK & PLASTICS, INC.

     On August 5, 1999 we acquired substantially all of the assets, subject
to accounts payable and accrued expenses assumed, of Custom Woodwork &
Plastics, Inc. Custom Woodwork is a Georgia-based designer and manufacturer
of interior furniture components for middle- and high-end corporate aircraft.
We intend to continue to use the acquired assets to manufacture products
similar to those previously manufactured by Custom Woodwork.

     The total purchase price was $13.8 million, including an estimated $0.5
million of acquisition related costs. The acquisition will be accounted for
as a purchase and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be
recorded at their estimated fair values. Based on historical values as of
June 30, 1999, it is estimated that the historical value of inventory will be
increased by $0.5 million and the $11.7 million difference between the
purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired will be recorded
as goodwill and amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty years. The
purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change upon the completion
of the final valuation of the net assets acquired. Our consolidated financial
statement will include Custom Woodwork's financial position and its results
of operations for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under our senior credit
facility.

                                       1



ACQUISITION OF PCI NEWCO, INC.

     On October 6, 1999 we acquired substantially all of the assets, subject
to accounts payable and accrued expenses assumed, of PCI NewCo, Inc. PCI
NewCo is a Kansas-based manufacturer of composite material and components for
middle- and high-end corporate aircraft. We intend to continue to use the
acquired assets to manufacture products similar to those previously
manufactured by PCI NewCo.

     The total purchase price was $8.8 million, plus $1.5 million of
contingent consideration payable in 2000 based on future attainment of
defined performance criteria. The total purchase price includes an estimated
$0.3 million of acquisition related costs. The acquisition will be accounted
for as a purchase and the difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill and amortized
on a straight-line basis over thirty years. The amount of contingent
consideration paid in the future, if any, will increase goodwill and will be
amortized prospectively over the remaining period of the initial thirty-year
term. Our consolidated financial statements will include PCI NewCo's
financial position and its results of operations for periods subsequent to
the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under our senior credit
facility.

ACQUISITION OF INTERNATIONAL CUSTOM INTERIORS, INC.

     On October 8, 1999 we acquired all of the common stock of International
Custom Interiors, Inc. Custom Interiors is a Florida-based provider of
upholstery services and manufacturer of furniture for middle- and high-end
corporate aircraft. We intend to continue to use the acquired assets to
manufacture products similar to those previously manufactured by Custom
Interiors.

     The total purchase price was $3.2 million, including an estimated $0.4
million of acquisition related costs. The acquisition will be accounted for
as a purchase and the difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill and amortized
on a straight-line basis over thirty years. Our consolidated financial
statements will include Custom Interiors' financial position and its results
of operations for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under our senior credit
facility.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Custom Woodwork & Plastics, Inc.


     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related
statements of income, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Custom Woodwork &
Plastics, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                        CUSTOM WOODWORK & PLASTICS, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

     Custom Woodwork & Plastics, Inc. (the "Company") designs and
manufactures interior furniture components for middle- and high-end corporate
aircraft. The Company operates in the U.S. market and 100% and 74% of the
Company's sales for fiscal 1998 and 1997 were to Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation, respectively. The Company's customers are principally
concentrated in the corporate aircraft industry.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

     It is the policy of the Company to deposit its cash and cash equivalents
in federally insured financial institutions. From time to time deposits may
exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limits. At December 31,
1998, the Company had $476,000 on deposit in excess of the FDIC limits.

INVENTORIES

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

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and ordinary
repairs and maintenance are charged against operations in the year incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for buildings and
building improvements and the double-declining balance method for machinery
and equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures. Estimated useful lives
are 40 years for buildings and building improvements and 5 to 7 years for
machinery and equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company elected to have its income taxed as an S corporation under
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, taxable income or loss is
reported to the individual stockholders for inclusion in their tax returns,
and no provision for Federal and state income tax is included in these
statements.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash,
receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities do
not significantly differ from fair values as of December 31, 1997 and 1998.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS

     The financial information as of June 30, 1999 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, the
unaudited financial information is presented on a basis consistent with the
audited financial statements and contains all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results
for such interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

                        CUSTOM WOODWORK & PLASTICS, INC.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company has a savings and retirement plan which qualifies under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in which all full-time employees
are eligible to participate. In accordance with the terms of the plan,
employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to
the plan, subject to certain limitations. The Board of Directors may elect to
declare a discretionary matching contribution to the Plan of 50% of all
contributions made up to 6% of each employee's salary. The Company did not
make any matching contributions for 1997 or 1998.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is involved in routine legal and administrative proceedings
incidental to the normal conduct of business. Management believes the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                              BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for
DeCrane Aircraft is based on its historical financial statements adjusted to
reflect the 1998 Avtech, Dettmers and DLJ acquisitions and the 1999 PATS, PPI
and Custom Woodwork acquisitions. For additional information on the 1998
Avtech, Dettmers and DLJ acquisitions, see the notes to DeCrane Aircraft's
1998 consolidated financial statements included in the prospectus. For
additional information on the 1999 PATS, PPI and Custom Woodwork
acquisitions, see the notes to DeCrane Aircraft's Form 10-Q.

     Unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are presented
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The statements reflect the acquisitions as if they had occurred as of January
1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the
Custom Woodwork acquisition as of June 30, 1999; all of the 1998 acquisitions
and the 1999 PATS and PPI acquisitions had occurred by that date and are
therefore reflected in the historical balance sheet.

     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
assumptions management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and accompanying notes
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
related notes of:

- -    DeCrane Aircraft included in the prospectus and Form 10-Q;
- -    Avtech, PATS and PPI included in the prospectus; and
- -    Custom Woodwork included in this Form 8-K.

     The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what
DeCrane Aircraft's actual results of operations or actual financial position
would have been if the transactions described above in fact occurred on such
dates or to project DeCrane Aircraft's results of operations or financial
position for any future period or date.

       (c) Reflects revolving credit facility borrowings for the DLJ, PATS, PPI
           and Custom Woodwork acquisitions as of January 1, 1998. The pro forma
           weighted average borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit
           facilities were $19.5 million for the twelve months ended December
           31, 1998 and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

       (d) Reflects Term A facility borrowings of $35.0 million for the DLJ
           acquisition as of January 1, 1998 reduced by quarterly principal
           payments of $438,000 commencing March 31, 1999. The pro forma
           weighted average borrowings outstanding under the Term A facility
           were $35.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and
           $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

       (e) Reflects Term B facility borrowings of $65.0 million for the DLJ and
           PATS acquisitions as of January 1, 1998 reduced by quarterly
           principal payments of $163,000 commencing March 31, 1998. The pro
           forma weighted average borrowings outstanding under the Term B
           facility were $64.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31,
           1998 and $64.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

                                         P-8



       (f) Reflects Term C facility borrowings of $70.0 million for the PPI
           acquisition and to refinance acquisition related revolving credit
           facility borrowings as of January 1, 1998 reduced by quarterly
           principal payments of $175,000 commencing March 31, 1998. The pro
           forma weighted average borrowings outstanding under the Term C
           facility were $69.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31,
           1998 and $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

       (g) Reflects a $5.0 million customer advance related to the PATS
           acquisition as of January 1, 1998 reduced by principal payments of
           $975,000 on November 30, 1998 and $1.2 million on May 31, 1999. The
           pro forma weighted average advance outstanding was $4.9 million for
           the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and $3.8 million for the
           six months ended June 30, 1999.

       (h) Reflects historical interest expense related to capital lease
           obligations and equipment term debt financing.

       (i) Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
           the term of the agreement.

       (j) Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest
           method.

       (k) A 0.125% change in the interest rates charged on variable rate
           borrowings would change interest expense by $245,000 for the twelve
           months ended December 31, 1998 and $121,000 for the six months ended
           June 30, 1999. Income (loss) before extraordinary item would change
           by $148,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and $73,000
           for the six months ended June 30, 1999.


(13) Reflects adjustment for nonrecurring charges associated with a terminated
     debt offering in June 1998. Such offering was terminated upon initiation of
     the DLJ acquisition.

(14) Represents an increase in the provision for income taxes as a result of a
     change in pro forma taxable income, a provision for income taxes on the
     income of Dettmers, PPI and Custom Woodwork which were taxed as S
     Corporations prior to their acquisitions, and elimination of the $2.6
     million one time benefit caused by reversal of DeCrane Aircraft's deferred
     tax valuation allowance. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S.
     federal statutory rate due to goodwill amortization related to acquisitions
     not deductible for income tax purposes and state income taxes.

(15) In conjunction with the DLJ acquisition, deferred financing costs of
     $347,000, net of income tax benefit, were written off as an extraordinary
     charge as a result of the termination of DeCrane Aircraft's prior senior
     credit facility. In conjunction with the sale of the senior subordinated
     notes described in the prospectus, deferred financing costs of $1.9
     million, net of income tax benefit, were written off as an extraordinary
     charge as a result of the termination of the bridge notes. These amounts
     have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement
     of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998.

       Notes (a) through (c) appear on the next page.

       (a) EBITDA equals operating income plus depreciation, amortization,
           parent company management fees and certain non-cash and acquisition
           related charges. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or financial
           condition under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is
           not intended to represent cash flow from operations and should not be
           considered as an alternative to income from operations or net income
           computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
           as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to
           cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. The
           funds depicted by EBITDA are not available for our discretionary use
           due to funding requirements for working capital, capital
           expenditures, debt service, income taxes and other commitments and
           contingencies. We believe that EBITDA is a standard measure of
           liquidity commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors
           and other interested parties in the financial markets. However, not
           all companies calculate EBITDA using the same method and the EBITDA
           numbers set forth above may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by
           other companies.

       (b) Reflects depreciation and amortization of plant and equipment,
           goodwill and other intangible assets. Excludes amortization of
           deferred financing costs and debt discounts, which are classified as
           a component of interest expense.

       (c) For purposes of calculating the earnings to fixed charges ratio,
           earnings represent net income before income taxes, minority interest
           in the income of majority-owned subsidiaries, extraordinary items
           and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of:

            -    interest, whether expensed or capitalized;

            -    amortization of debt expense and discount relating to any
                 indebtedness, whether expensed or capitalized; and

            -    one-third of rental expense under operating leases which is
                 considered to be a reasonable approximation of the interest
                 portion of such expense.

           There was a $792,000 deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for the
           year ended December 31, 1998.
