                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and Administrator of
   the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2000
and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan'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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, 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 our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

1.     DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       The following description of the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the
       "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
       should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

       GENERAL

       The Plan, sponsored by Aviall, Inc. ("Aviall" or the "Company") was
       established on December 7, 1993 in accordance with and subject to the
       provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
       ("ERISA"). The Plan is a defined contribution plan and, as such, is
       subject to some, but not all, of the provisions of ERISA. It is excluded
       from coverage under Title IV of ERISA, which generally provides for
       guaranty and insurance of retirement benefits, and it is not subject to
       the funding requirements of Title I of ERISA. The Plan is, however,
       subject to those provisions of Title I and II of ERISA which, among other
       things, require that each participant be furnished with an annual
       financial report and a comprehensive description of the participants'
       rights under the Plan, set minimum standards of responsibility applicable
       to fiduciaries of the Plan, and establish minimum standards for
       participation and vesting.

       Participation in the Plan is voluntary. However, to participate in the
       Plan, an employee must be 21 years of age. Participants may make elective
       contributions to the Plan beginning on their date of hire but must have
       one year of qualified service before receiving employer matching
       contributions. In general, new employees of the Company are eligible to
       participate in the Plan.

       PLAN INVESTMENTS

       The Plan is a self-trusteed plan with The 401(k) Company as recordkeeper.
       Plan assets are held by various investment fund houses in separate
       investment accounts.

       Participants may elect to contribute to, or transfer among, any of the
       funds except for the Aviall Restricted Stock Fund. Earnings are allocated
       based on number of shares attributed to participants' accounts.

       Aviall Stock Restricted Shares: The fund consists of Aviall, Inc. common
       stock contributed by the Company in 1998 through a one-time grant of
       shares to eligible employees, as defined in the 1997 Plan amendment. The
       Fund is not a participant directed Fund and, as such, participants do not
       have access to the Fund while employed with the Company.

       Aviall Common Stock Fund: The fund consists of Aviall, Inc. common stock,
       which is purchased on a regular and continuous basis on the open market,
       and money market funds, which represent participant contributions made to
       the fund which have not been used to purchase shares. Stock is purchased
       in whole shares, and participant contributions representing partial
       shares are accumulated in the money market funds (see Note 6).

       CONTRIBUTIONS, VESTING AND FORFEITURES

       The Plan was established in accordance with Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of
       the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan entitles nonhighly
       compensated employees to defer up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation.
       Highly compensated employees as defined under IRC Section 414(q) may
       defer pre-tax compensation only up to the percentage allowed pursuant to
       the nondiscrimination tests. The maximum employee contribution for 2000
       and 1999 is $10,500 and $10,000, respectively, and is limited by law. The
       Company matches 50% of the employee's annual contribution up to $400 per
       person based on certain requirements (see Note 6).

       Participants are immediately 100% vested in the earnings of their
       individual contributions to the Plan. Participants vest 25% per year in
       Company contributions and the earnings attributable to such contributions
       beginning with their second year of service, and are 100% vested in their
       fifth year of service. Vesting in Company contributions also occurs upon
       attainment of retirement age, death or disability. Upon a distribution to
       a participant, nonvested Company contributions are forfeited and are used
       to offset future Company contributions. In 2000, there were $10,433 of
       forfeitures which will be used to offset future Company contributions.

       In 1997, the Plan was amended to allow the Company to make discretionary
       contributions of Company common stock to the Plan. Such contributions,
       when made, are fully-vested and nonforfeitable. In 1998, the Company made
       a discretionary contribution of 50 shares of Company common stock to all
       eligible employees, as defined in the amendment. This contribution is
       included in the Aviall Stock Restricted Shares Fund and cannot be
       directed by the participants.

       All contributions to the Plan are deposited in the trust. At the
       employee's option, contributions are directed into separate participant
       directed investment funds, as discussed above.

       PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

       Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
       contribution, the Company's matching contribution, as eligible, and the
       allocation of the investment fund earnings, as well as charged with loan
       fees, as applicable.

       ROLLOVERS

       Distributions from another qualified plan can be transferred into the
       Plan. In 2000 and 1999, rollover accounts in the amount of $39,518 and

       PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

       In the event of a participant's termination of employment, disability or
       death, the participant or beneficiary shall receive an amount equal to
       the vested value of their account in a lump-sum payment. Upon disability
       or death, a participant's Plan account balance immediately becomes fully
       vested. The lump-sum payment shall be automatically made within 90 days
       of the distribution value date for amounts less than $5,000. For amounts
       greater than $5,000, consent of the participant or beneficiary is
       required.

       Upon a participant's attainment of retirement age, a participant's Plan
       account balance immediately becomes fully vested and nonforfeitable.
       Retirement age is defined as the earlier of the date on which a
       participant attains age 65 or the date on which a participant has both
       attained age 55 and completed at least 10 years of service. A lump-sum
       payment of the participant's account balance shall be made within 90 days
       of the distribution value date.

       The Plan allows hardship withdrawals for the following reasons:

              (1) Payment of medical expenses;
              (2) Purchase of a principal residence;
              (3) Payment of tuition of post secondary education;
              (4) Payments to prevent the eviction or foreclosure of principal
                  residence;
              (5) Payment of income taxes;
              (6) Payments for custodial rights expenses;
              (7) Payments for expenses incurred by natural disaster;
              (8) Payment of funeral expenses;
              (9) Loss of income resulting from bad health or disability; and
             (10) Any other reason deemed a financial hardship by the Internal
                  Revenue Service ("IRS").

       Certain restrictions are placed on participants withdrawing from the
       Plan. Such restrictions include:

              (1) The amount withdrawn may not exceed the amount of immediate
                  financial need.
              (2) The participant must obtain all nontaxable loans available
                  under the Plan prior to applying for hardship withdrawal.
              (3) The participant must limit tax-deferred and other elective
                  contributions under the Plan for the next taxable year to the
                  applicable limit under section 402(g) of the IRC, minus the
                  employee's elective contributions for the year of the hardship
                  distribution.
              (4) The participant may not make tax-deferred contributions and
                  other elective or voluntary contributions to the Plan for at
                  least 12 months after receipt of the hardship withdrawal.

       There were no distributions or withdrawals which had been approved but
       remained unpaid as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.

       LOANS

       After participating in the Plan, or a combination of the Plan and another
       employer's qualified Plan for a minimum of 24 months, a participant may
       borrow from their vested account balance. Loans are limited to 50% of the
       vested account balance and are collateralized by the participant's vested
       account balance. Loans must be greater than $1,000 but less than $50,000.
       In general, loans must be repaid within five years through payroll
       deductions, unless utilized for a principal residence, in which case the
       Retirement Committee of the Plan determines the term. Loans accrue
       interest at a rate which is comparable to that of most major lending
       institutions. Such rates range from 6.0% to 10.89% for loans outstanding
       at December 31, 2000. All principal and interest repayments are allocated
       to the Plan's investment funds based on the participant's investment
       elections at the time of repayment. Loans which are granted and repaid in
       compliance with the Plan provisions will not be considered distributions
       to the participant for tax purposes.

       Under the Plan's loan provisions, participants are allowed to have up to
       two loans outstanding at a given time. Aviall, Inc. stock classified as
       "restricted" (Aviall Stock Restricted Shares Fund) is disqualified from
       being used to calculate loanable account balances or fund loans unless
       otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator. Additionally, the Plan,
       as amended, does not allow loans to be refinanced.

       PLAN TERMINATION

       The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the
       right to terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. Upon
       termination of the Plan, all benefits shall be nonforfeitable and fully
       vested, and each participant shall be entitled to the entire amount
       credited to his account. Payments shall be made by the trustee in a
       nondiscriminatory manner as directed by the Retirement Committee of the
       sponsor.

2.     SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

       The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
       accounting. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade
       date basis, cost is determined based on historical average cost, and
       dividends are reinvested at the date-of-record market price.

       PLAN FEES AND EXPENSES

       The Company paid all brokerage, administrative and recordkeeping fees for
       the Plan. Loan fees, when applicable, were charged to the Participant
       accounts and were the only expenses paid with Plan assets. Additionally,
       certain administrative services were performed by the Company at no cost
       to the Plan.

       PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

       Participant loans receivable represent cash advances to participants of
       the Plan less any payments made.

       INVESTMENT VALUATION

       The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, using quoted market
       prices, except for participant loans, which are valued at cost.

       SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

       Gains and losses on securities transactions are recorded on a current
       value basis. For purposes of reporting under ERISA, gains and losses on
       investments sold are calculated as sales proceeds less current value of
       such investments at the beginning of the Plan year or acquisition cost if
       acquired during the Plan year. Unrealized gains and losses are calculated
       as current value of investments at the end of the Plan year less current
       value at the beginning of the Plan year or acquisition cost if acquired
       during the Plan year.

       USE OF ESTIMATES

       The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
       benefits and the related changes in net assets available for benefits.
       Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

       On September 15, 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public
       Accountants issued Statement of Position 99-3, Accounting for and
       Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other
       Disclosure Matters ("SOP 99-3") which, among other things, eliminated
       previous requirements for defined contribution plans to present plan
       investments by general type for participant-directed investment programs
       and to disclose participant-directed investment programs. SOP 99-3 is
       effective for financial statements for plan years ending after December
       15, 1999. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not
       include details of the Plan's participant-directed investments programs.

5.     TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

       The IRS granted a favorable letter of determination under the applicable
       section of the IRC on September 1, 1995 and, therefore, the trust is
       exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC. Once qualified, the
       Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
       qualification. Generally, contributions to a qualified plan are
       deductible by the Company when made, earnings of the trust are tax exempt
       and participants are not taxed on their benefits until withdrawn from the
       Plan.

6.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On May 1, 2001, the Aviall Common Stock Fund moved from a unitized
       accounting method to a share accounting method. Under the new method,
       participants own actual shares within the Plan, as opposed to owning a
       percentage of all the Aviall, Inc. stock in the fund.

       In June 2001, the Plan was amended to increase the Company's matching
       contributions. Effective July 1, 2001, the Company match increases to
       fifty percent (50%) of eligible participant contributions, up to five
