NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in Aviall, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" effective for interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. FASB Statement No. 128 establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and simplifies the standards
for computing EPS previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."
If Aviall had computed net earnings per share in accordance with the provisions
of FASB Statement No. 128, the pro forma basic net earnings per share for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $0.36 and
$0.03, respectively, and the pro forma diluted net earnings per share for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $0.35 and
$0.03, respectively. The pro forma basic net earnings per share for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $1.02 and
$0.38, respectively, and the pro forma diluted net earnings per share for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $1.01 and
$0.38, respectively.

=============================================================================================
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. Net sales for the ongoing business in the third
quarter of 1997 were $100.3 million, up $9.0 million, or 9.9%, from the $91.2
million recorded in the same 1996 quarter. Higher sales came from growth in
airline and general aviation markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America.
Gross profit for the ongoing business of $24.9 million was $2.8 million
higher than the $22.1 million in the 1996 third quarter. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales increased from 24.3% to 24.9%. This increase in gross profit
percentage was primarily a result of an improved pricing environment.
Selling and administrative expenses for the ongoing business decreased $0.7
million or 4% to $17.0 million in the third quarter of 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to savings from staff reductions implemented throughout 1996 and
severance expenses in 1996.
Interest expense was lower than in the third quarter 1996, reflecting lower
debt, lower amortization of debt issuance costs, and lower interest rates from
the 1996 bank agreement.
The 1996 results include a $6.4 million gain on disposal of the
discontinued engine services business due to changes in estimates for
transaction-related expenses and the determination of the final sale price of
this business and a $2.8 million nonrecurring charge in continuing operations
due to the disposal of the Fastener Business. Also included in the 1996 results
is a $3.4 million extraordinary non-cash charge to write off unamortized debt
issuance costs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. Net sales in the first nine months of 1997 were
$288.0 million, an increase of $26.7 million, or 10.2%, from the $261.3 million
recorded by the ongoing business in the comparable 1996 period. Higher sales for
the ongoing business came from growth in general aviation, airline and
information services in Europe, Asia-Pacific and North American regions.

7
Gross profit of $72.2 million in the first nine months of 1997 increased
$6.4 million, or 9.7%, from the first nine months of 1996 for the ongoing
business. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased slightly from 25.2% in
1996 to 25.1% in 1997.
Selling and administrative expenses from the ongoing business decreased by
$5.5 million, or 9.9% to $50.0 million in the first nine months of 1997. The
decrease was primarily due to staff reductions implemented during 1996 and the
expenses incurred in 1996 relating to amending the Company's former bank
agreement.
The $1.4 million nonrecurring gain was related to the repayment in January
1997 of a $12.0 million unsecured subordinated note received in connection with
the 1995 sale of the business aviation engine overhaul, and aircraft and
terminal services operations. The Company had carried the note at a discounted
value of $10.5 million. The 1996 nonrecurring charge of $6.6 million was
comprised of the effect of the final contract terms and related transaction
costs in connection with the disposal of the Fastener Business.
Interest expense was lower than in 1996, reflecting lower debt, lower
interest rates and lower debt issuance amortization under the 1996 bank
agreement.
The 1996 results include a $16.9 million gain from disposal of the
discontinued operations due to the receipt of cash rather than an anticipated
partial stock payment, changes in estimates for transaction-related expenses and
the determination of the final sale price of the Company's commercial engine
services business.
FINANCIAL CONDITION. Cash flows from operations were $4.1 million in the first
nine months of 1997 and $13.8 million in the comparable 1996 period. Cash
generated in the first nine months of 1997 from improved profitability was
offset by $8.5 million in expenditures related to liabilities retained for
previously owned businesses, a net investment in receivables due to sales growth
and a reduction in accounts payable due to timing of payments at quarter end. In
1996, $5.0 million of the positive cash flow came from the discontinued
operations.
The Company believes that its expected cash flow from operations and
availability under its revolving lines of credit are sufficient to meet its
current working capital and operating needs. Improvements in earnings are
expected to further enhance the Company's access to capital and will enable the
Company to finance future investment opportunities.
In January 1997, a $12.0 million unsecured subordinated note received in
connection with the 1995 sale of the business aviation engine overhaul, and
aircraft and terminal services operations was repaid. The Company applied the
proceeds as a permanent reduction of the Company's secured term loan due through
2001.
The Company filed its 1996 U.S. income tax return in September 1997. Based
on this return, at December 31, 1996 the Company had approximately $219.0
million in net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes which
substantially expire in 2009-2011.
OUTLOOK. Management continues to be encouraged by the progress being made by the
Company and intends to continue to work on operational improvements while
positioning the Company to take advantage of growth opportunities. During 1997,
the Company has realigned its sales organization to maximize customer coverage,
while maintaining the market specialization that its customers demand. The
Company has also started to improve its systems to better meet the expectations
of its customers and suppliers and forestall any year 2000 problems. The Company
intends to seek further progress in reducing costs and improving operational
efficiencies.
