DECRANE AIRCRAFT HOLDINGS, INC.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should be read
in conjunction with: (i) the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto, and the unaudited pro forma financial data for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which are included in the Company's Prospectus dated April
16, 1997 issued in connection with its initial public offering of common stock
(as previously filed as Exhibit 20.1 to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997); and (ii) the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997.

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the
Company, adjusted to present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
results of operations of the Company as if the following transactions had
occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) the acquisition of Audio International, Inc.
("Audio International") for $24,726,000 in cash, including $726,000 of
acquisition related expenses; (ii) the Minority Interest and ADS Acquisitions,
as described in the Company's Prospectus; (iii) the Recapitalization, as
described in the Company's Prospectus; and (iv) the sale by the Company of
2,700,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom as set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the
acquisition of Audio International on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition
had occurred on September 30, 1997.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflects the unaudited historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company, adjusted to reflect: (i) the
pro forma effect of the Recapitalization and the Offering; and (ii) the
combination, with appropriate adjustments, of the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Audio International nine months ended September 30, 1997
(the "1997 Acquisition").

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1996 reflects the audited historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company, adjusted to reflect: (i) the combination,
with appropriate adjustments, of the unaudited financial statements of ADS for
the period from January 1 through September 18, 1996, the date on which it was
acquired and the Minority Interest Acquisition (the "1996 Acquisitions"); (ii)
the pro forma effect of the Recapitalization and the Offering; and (iii) the
combination, with appropriate adjustments, of the audited consolidated financial
statements of Audio International for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the
"1997 Acquisition").

     The Company believes the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Information contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the above described transactions. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are
reasonable. With respect to the Audio International pro forma acquisition
adjustments described in the accompanying notes, the allocation of the purchase
price is preliminary and subject to final determination by the Company. The pro
forma acquisition adjustments also exclude the effect of contingent
consideration aggregating a maximum $6,000,000 payable over two years based on
future attainment of defined performance criteria. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated on the dates
indicated, or that may be obtained in future periods.

                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                          FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(11)  Reflects the Recapitalization as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for
      the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(12)  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, reflects the
      Recapitalization, adjusted on a pro forma basis for the Offering.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, reflects the Recapitalization,
      adjusted on a pro forma basis for 1996 Acquisitions and the Offering.

      Both periods also reflect 50,743 additional common shares issued to two
      stockholders during the fourth quarter of 1997 to settle their asserted
      claim that they were entitled to additional shares pursuant to certain
      anti-dilution provisions as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
      quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(13)  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, reflects the
      Recapitalization, adjusted on a pro forma basis for the Offering as
      described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
      1997 and the acquisition of Audio International.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, reflects the Recapitalization,
      adjusted on a pro forma basis for the 1996 Acquisitions and the Offering
      as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
      30, 1997 and the acquisition of Audio International.

      Both periods also reflect 50,743 additional common shares issued to two
      stockholders during the fourth quarter of 1997 to settle their asserted
      claim that they were entitled to additional shares pursuant to certain
      anti-dilution provisions as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
      quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(14)  As described in "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data" in the
      Prospectus.

(15)  Represents an increase in the provision for income taxes resulting from
      an increase in pro forma taxable income, net of a partial utilization of
      net operating loss carryforwards.

      Subsequent to consummation of the Offering, the Company determined that
      the amount of loss carryforwards that may be utilized in each period is
      subject to limitations because of the occurrence of a change in control
      of the Company, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. A change of
      control occurred during 1996 as a result of certain equity transactions
      and upon consummation of the Offering in 1997. The tax provision in 
      this pro forma reflects the limitation of the utilization of net 
      operating loss carryforwards.

(16)  Represents an increase to fair value of the assets acquired.

(17)  The total purchase price paid at closing was $24,726,000 in cash,
      including and estimated $726,000 in acquisition related costs. The
      acquisition is accounted for as a purchase and the difference between the
      purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded
      as goodwill and will be amortized over 30 years. Goodwill excludes
      contingent consideration aggregating a maximum of $6,000,000 payable over
      two years based on future attainment of defined performance criteria. 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 30-year term.

(18)  Represents borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit to
      fund the acquisition.

(19)  Represents the elimination of net equity as of the acquisition date.
