which may be reported for the remainder of 1998.
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-QSB. Pursuant to such rules and
regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included

NOTE 3 - CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS:
In August 1997, the Company's former independent auditors withdrew their
previously issued reports on the Company's financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and the six months ended June 31, 1996
and resigned as the Company's auditors. These actions were the result of
their investigation of allegations regarding certain of the Company's
accounting and financing practices. The lack of required financial
information resulted in the subsequent halt in trading and delisting of the
Company's common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap market in September 1997.
In October 1997, three separate class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company, its founder, directors and certain current and former officers and
directors, and others. In February 1998, a motion was approved to
consolidate all three class action lawsuits in Federal court.
In April 1998, the Company entered into a settlement in principle which is
memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (the "M.O.U.") with counsel for
the plaintiffs to settle the suits. Terms of the settlement include cash
consideration of $740,000 and 210,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
of which the Company will issue 80,000 shares and the Company's founder,
Osamah S. Bakhit, will contribute 130,000 shares. The Company's cost of
settlement was accrued in the fourth quarter of 1997.
The settlement is conditioned upon the execution of a definitive settlement
agreement on or before May 1, 1998 and the court's approval of that
agreement. Counsel for the plaintiffs and the Company have orally agreed to
extend this date. For the agreement to be effected, a certain percentage (to
be specified in the agreement) of shareholders must not have elected to be
excluded from the terms and conditions of the settlement. The settling
plaintiffs may also withdraw from the settlement if the Company's common
shares trade at less than $5 per share for the ten-day period beginning
fifteen days prior to the settlement hearing.
Both a Federal grand jury and the Securities and Exchange Commission have
commenced investigations into the allegations referred to above. The
investigations are continuing and the Company is unable, at this time, to
evaluate the possible outcome of the investigations or their impact on the
Company.
NOTE 4 - DEBT ARRANGEMENTS
At March 31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the
covenants of its line of credit with BNY Financial Corporation. There is no
assurance that the lender will not require repayment of all debt and/or
terminate the credit facility.
In February 1998, the Company borrowed $2,140,000 from BNY Financial
Corporation to purchase specific inventory. The balance of the note payable
is $1.1 million at March 31, 1998. The note, which is secured by specific
inventory and by the one million shares of common stock pledged on the Credit
Facility, was due on April 27, 1998, and has an interest rate of Prime plus
three percent plus other fees. The Company did not pay the required amount
on the note in March 1998 and did not pay off the note by April 27, 1998. As
a result the Company incurred a $100,000 default penalty in March 1998. The
bank has proposed additional fees for further extension of the due date;
management is currently negotiating with the bank to resolve this matter.
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.
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 damaged 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 depend in large measure 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. Thus, these bulk purchases allow the Company to seek larger gross
margins on its sale of aircraft parts since the cost of purchase is reduced.
Sales can be impacted by marketing and consignment agreements because such
agreements give the Company increased access to aircraft parts. Net profits
are impacted by marketing agreements because the Company does not incur costs
associated with carrying owned inventory due to the fact that a party who has
entered into a marketing agreement with the Company is responsible for
storing and maintaining the inventory to which the Company has access
pursuant to such marketing agreement. Generally, sales from consignment and
marketing agreements are not as profitable as sales from bulk inventory
purchases.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 (dollars in
thousands):

---------- ------- --------- -------
---------- ------- --------- -------
NET DISTRIBUTED SERVICES AND INVENTORY SALES. Net distributed services
represents sales of aircraft parts purchased at the point of sale through
outside parties. Inventory sales represent sales of the Company's owned
inventory. Net distributed services and inventory sales decreased slightly
from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $8.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of $400,000 or 4.3%.
This decrease was mainly a result of the Company's move to a new location in
the first quarter of 1998.
Sales from distributed services represented approximately 94.7% and 77.5% of
total distributed services and inventory sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Sales of Company-owned inventory
represented approximately 5.3% and 22.5% of total distributed services and
inventory sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in the percentage of the sales of Company-owned
inventory was primarily due to the sale of some of the bulk inventory
purchases received during the second and third quarters of 1997 and the sale
of parts of the CFM56 engine purchased in the first quarter of 1998.
NET SALES ON CONSIGNMENT AND MARKETING AGREEMENTS. Net sales on consignment
and marketing agreements represent revenue, including commission, from sales
of inventory held on consignment and sales of inventory obtained through
marketing agreements with larger airlines. Net sales on consignment and
marketing agreements decreased from $275,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 to $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of
$223,000 or 81.1%. The decrease was a result of management's decision to
terminate the last consignment agreement and a marketing agreement during the
third quarter of 1997.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales decreased from $7.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to $6.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998, a decrease of $800,000 or 10.4%. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the decrease in net sales and the higher margins the Company
realized on the larger transactions in the first quarter of 1998. See "Gross
profit."
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased from $1.8 million or 18.8% of net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.0 million or 22.3% of net
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $200,000 or
11.1%. This increase was a result of the Company realizing margins of only
20% or lower on the large transactions in the first quarter of 1997 compared
to margins of 33% on the large transactions in the first
quarter of 1998. See "Cost of sales."
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of management compensation, commission expense, rent
expense, professional fees, consulting expense and travel expense. The
Company's selling and administrative expenses increased from $1.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $600,000 or 50.0%. This increase was
principally due to higher personnel costs, bank charges and facility rent
expense.
NON RECURRING EXPENSES. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company incurred
$509,000 of expenses related to its investigation of allegations concerning
its previously issued financial statements, restatement of those financial
statements, class action lawsuits and investigations by a Federal grand jury
and the Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Part II, Item 1 - Legal
Proceedings". These expenses primarily consist of legal, accounting and
consulting fees.
INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS. The Company had a loss from operations of
$322,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as a result of lower sales
(offset by the increase in gross margin), the non recurring expenses and the
increase in the selling and administrative expenses. Income from operations
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, excluding the non-recurring expenses,
was $187,000. See "Gross profit," "Selling and administrative expenses" and
"Non recurring expenses"
INTEREST EXPENSES, NET. Net interest expense increased from $163,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $554,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in
borrowings under the Company's line of credit and a new note for $2.2 million
used to purchase an engine during the first quarter of 1998, plus related
loan fees and additional charges by the bank for late payments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $80,000 and $7,000 as of
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, respectively. The Company had
restricted cash of $1.1 million as of December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998.
Restricted cash was required for letters of credit issued to certain vendors.
The Company's operating activities used $3.0 million and $1.4 million in the
quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The largest cash uses
in the 1997 period were $2.5 million for increases in accounts receivable,
$1.3 million for acquisition of inventories and payments of $820,000 related
to a legal settlement, offset by earnings and increases in liability
accounts. For the 1998 period the largest uses of cash were the $888,000
loss, along with the net effect of normal fluctuations in operating asset and
liability accounts.
Net cash used in investing activities, $70,000 in the 1997 period and
$114,000 in the 1998 period, resulted from purchases of property and
equipment, less reductions in restricted cash.
Cash provided by 1997 financing activities of $3.0 million was a result of
$4.5 million of net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, less
$1.5 million net reduction in borrowings under the lines of credit. The $1.4
million provided by 1998 financing activities consisted of a $1.8 million net
increase in line of credit borrowings less $400,000 of payments on long-term
debt.
The Company's Credit Facility provides for working capital loans of up to
$15.0 million with interest at the Bank of New York Alternate Base Rate (8.5
percent at March 31, 1998) plus one percent subject to an availability
calculation based on the eligible borrowing base. The eligible borrowing base
includes certain receivables and inventories of the
Company. The terms of the credit agreement provide for a facility non-use
fee of 0.75% per annum of the difference between the facility amount and the
average monthly balance. The Credit Facility matures on June 25, 2000.
BNY Financial Corporation has a fully perfected security interest against all
assets of the Company, except restricted cash, in addition to a personal
guarantee from the Company's founder and is secured by 1 million shares of
common stock pledged by the Company's founder.
The Credit Facility provides for the repayment of all debt and/or termination
of the Credit Facility (i) in the event the Company voluntarily files under
the federal bankruptcy laws or fails to dismiss, within 31 days, any petition
filed against it in any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, (ii) if
the lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
indebtedness is impaired, or (iii) upon a change of control. The $15.0
million Credit Facility has certain financial covenants that require the
Company to have a tangible net worth of at least $3.0 million at March 31,
1998, and that tangible net worth shall increase by $250,000 per quarter in
1998 commencing with the June 30, 1998 quarter, to not make capital
expenditures in any fiscal year in an amount in excess of $750,000, the ratio
of EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility and the amendments) of the
Company to be less than two to one, and shall not at any time at the end of
any month permit its working capital to be less than $4.0 million.
The Company was not in compliance with certain of its debt covenants at March
31, 1998. There is no assurance that BNY Financial Corporation will not
require repayment of all debt and/or terminate the Credit Facility.
The Company's long-term debt consists of the following: (i) note payable of
$2.6 million at March 31, 1998 to a financial institution, due in monthly
installments of $166,250 (principal and interest) to August 1999 with an
interest rate of 9.5 percent; (ii) note payable of $2.5 million at March 31,
1998 to a corporation, secured by specific inventory, due in varied monthly
installments of principal and interest to July 1998, with an imputed interest
rate of 9.5 percent; and (iii) two notes payable for $23,000.
In February 1998, the Company borrowed $2,140,000 from BNY Financial
Corporation to purchase specific inventory. The balance of the note payable
is $1.1 million at March 31, 1998. The note is secured by specific inventory
and by the one million shares of common stock pledged on the Credit Facility,
was due on April 27, 1998, and has an interest rate of Prime plus three
percent plus other fees. The Company did not pay the required amount on the
note in March 1998 and did not pay off the note by April 27, 1998. As a
result the Company incurred a $100,000 default penalty in March 1998. The
bank has proposed additional fees for further extension of the date;
management is currently negotiating with the bank to resolve this matter.
In 1997, the Company and certain of its current and former officers and
directors were named as defendants in three class action lawsuits. In April
1998, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to settle the
lawsuits. The Company's estimated cost of settlement, totaling $620,000, was
charged to Legal Settlement Expense in the fourth quarter of 1997. See "Part
II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings."
The Company's operations are financed under a credit facility BNY Financial
Corporation, a subsidiary of, the Bank of New York. This facility is an
asset based line of credit secured by account receivable and inventory and is
the primary source for the Company to finance its operations and growth.
Because of the non-recurring costs associated with the re-auditing of the
Company's financial statements and the ongoing federal investigations, the
Company has used its asset base to meet these obligations. As a result, 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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 as defendants in three civil suits filed as class
actions on behalf of individuals claiming to have purchased ADI Common Stock
during the period from March 1997 to September 1997, and seeking damages for
violation of Federal securities laws. The suits were filed in the United
States District Court for the Central District of California and are
captioned as follows: (i) NGUYEN V. AVIATION DISTRIBUTORS, INC., ET AL.,
U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Case No. SACV 97-795
(ANx); (ii) ALAN GREEN V. AVIATION DISTRIBUTORS, INC., ET AL., U.S. District
Court, Central District of California, Case No. SACV 97-801 GLT (EEx); and
(iii) SHARON TATE V. AVIATION DISTRIBUTORS, INC., ET AL., U.S. District
Court, Central District of California, Case No. SACV 97-838 (Eex).
In April 1998, the Company entered into a settlement in principle, which is
memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (the "M.O.U."), with counsel
for the plaintiffs to settle the suits. Terms of the settlement include cash
consideration of $740,000 and 210,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
of which the Company will issue 80,000 shares and the Company's founder,
Osamah S. Bakhit, will contribute 131,000 shares. The settlement is
conditioned upon execution of a definitive settlement agreement and approval
of the settlement by the Federal Court. The M.O.U. provides that the
settling plaintiffs may withdraw from the settlement if the mean trading
price of the Company's common stock is less than $5.00 per share for the
10-day period beginning 15 days prior to the settlement hearing.
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.
