                        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Interim Condensed Financial Statements

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-Q. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1996
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 (File No. 1-11775).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Aviation Sales Company (the "Company") contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31,1997 and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations and cash flows for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations or cash flows which may be reported for the year ending December 31,
1997.

Accounting 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 periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS No. 128"), is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.
This statement specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock
or potential common stock. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material
impact on the financial statements of the Company.

2. ACQUISITION:

On December 10, 1996, the Company acquired AvEng Trading Partners, Inc.
("AvEng") for consideration of 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The
acquisition was accounted for using the pooling of interests method of
accounting, and therefore, the Company's consolidated statements of income,
partners' capital and stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1996 reflect the results of operations of AvEng as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996. The company's consolidated
statements of income, partners' capital and stockholders' equity and cash flows
prior to December 31, 1995 have not been restated to give retroactive effect for
the acquisition due to the immateriality of the restated amounts.

3. PRO FORMA DISCLOSURES:

Pro Forma Income Taxes

Prior to June 26, 1996 the business of the Company was conducted by a
partnership and not subject to income taxes. As a result of the transfer of the
net assets of the partnership to the Company and the initial public offering of
its common stock in June 1996, the Company became subject to federal and state
income taxes.

The following pro forma adjustments to record income taxes at the Company's
estimated effective tax rate have been reflected in the pro forma earnings per
share data presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
income of all periods presented:

Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro forma net
income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Outstanding stock options are considered common
stock equivalents and are included in the calculation using the treasury stock
method.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
information set forth under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations on pages 15 through 22 of Aviation Sales
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
discussion contains forward looking information which involves risks and
uncertainties and is based upon information currently available to the Company.
Actual results could differ from those described herein and future results may
be subject to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter operating revenues rose 38% to $49.1 million, compared with $35.6
million for the same period last year. Operating revenues increased due to the
Company's entrance into the bearings distribution business, the addition of new
sales personnel, increased customer penetration, increased investment in and
availability of inventory and the continued expansion of services offered to
customers and customers utilizing the Company's services.

Gross profit increased 12% to $13.8 million for the first quarter ended March
31, 1997, compared with $12.3 million for the same period last year. Gross
profit margin declined to 28.2% for the 1997 first quarter from 34.6% for the
1996 first quarter and from 29.6% for the 1996 fourth quarter. The decline in
gross profit margin was expected as the mix of inventories sold during the
period continued to reflect a declining contribution from bulk inventories
acquired prior to 1995 and an increase in revenues from the Company's bearings
distribution business acquired in August, 1996. Gross profit margin from
bearings distribution was 22.6% for the first quarter of 1997. As the Company's
mix of products and services offered to customers matures, the Company expects
that its gross profit margin from period to period will fluctuate between 27% 
to 31%.

The Company's operating expenses increased $1.3 million in the first quarter of
1997 compared with the first quarter of 1996, due to higher sales levels. The
increase in absolute dollars from the first three months of 1996 versus the
first three months of 1997 is due to higher selling and operating expenses as a
result of higher sales levels principally achieved during 1997 as compared to
1996. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales declined, however, to 16.7% in
the 1997 first quarter from 19.4% in the corresponding period of 1996,
reflecting the continuing benefits of economies of scale and operating
efficiencies.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs declined from
period to period due to the repayment of $52,806,400 of indebtedness during the
third quarter of 1996 from the proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering.

As a result of the above factors, income before income taxes increased $1.3
million, or 37%, from $3.4 million to $4.7 million, respectively, from the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 to the same period ending in 1997. Net income
was $2.8 million, or $.33 per share for the first quarter of 1997, compared to
net income, after accounting for pro forma income taxes, of $2.1 million, or
$.40 per share for the first quarter of 1996. Weighted average shares
outstanding were 8.6 million during the first quarter of 1997, compared to 5.4
million during the first quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

During the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company
financed its working capital requirements primarily with its cash flow from
financing activities, amounting to $5.1 million and $11.7 million, respectively.
Cash flow used in operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996
and 1997 was $4.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively.

The Company's primary uses of cash to date have been investing activities and
the repayment of indebtedness. Cash used in investing activities was $.3 million
for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 and cash provided by investing
activities was $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.

On July 2, 1996, the Company completed the repayment of indebtedness and
restructuring of its credit facility per the terms of an Amended and Restated
Credit Facility (the "Amended Credit Facility"), dated June 27, 1996. The
Amended Credit Facility consists of (a) a term loan facility (the "Amended Term
Loan") in an original principal amount of $20 million, and (b) a $50.0 million
revolving loan, letter of credit and acquisition loan facility, subject to an
availability calculation based on the eligible borrowing base (the "Amended
Revolving Credit Facility"). The eligible borrowing base includes certain
receivables and inventories of the Company. At March 31, 1997, the Company had
availability under the Amended Credit Facility of approximately $13.4 million.
The letter of credit portion of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is subject
to a $10.0 million sublimit and the acquisition loan portion of the Revolving
Credit Facility is subject to a $30.0 million sublimit with the imposition of
certain borrowing criteria based on the satisfaction of certain debt ratios. The
unused portion of the acquisition loan portion of the Amended Revolving Credit
Facility expires on the second anniversary of the closing date of the Amended
Credit Facility. The interest rate on the Amended Credit Facility is, at the
option of the Company, (a) prime plus a margin, or (b) LIBOR plus a margin,
where the margin determination is made based upon the Company's financial
performance over the prior 12 month period (ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% in the
event prime is utilized, or 1.75% to 2.75% in the event LIBOR is utilized). At
March 31, 1997, the margin was .75% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBOR
rate loans.

The Amended Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments and terminates
on December 1, 1999. Interim payments under the Amended Revolving Credit
Facility will be made from daily collections of the Company's accounts
receivable. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on December 1,
1999. The Amended Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants of the
Company and mandatory prepayment events, in the event of certain circumstances,
as defined. At March 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all of its
requirements under the Amended Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility also
contains mandatory prepayment events and is secured by a lien on substantially
all of the assets of the Company. At March 31, 1997, the outstanding balances
under the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolving Credit Facility were $20.4
million and $30.3 million, respectively.

During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred capital
expenditures of approximately $.5 million, primarily to make enhancements to the
Company's management information systems, telecommunication systems and other
capital equipment and improvements.

<PAGE>

The repayment of indebtedness with the net proceeds of the Company's June 1996
initial public offering improved the Company's liquidity by reducing both the
Company's interest expense and the principal amount of the indebtedness required
to be repaid in the future. The Company believes that cash flow from operations
and borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Facility will be sufficient
to satisfy the Company's anticipated working capital requirements over the next
12 months.

As part of its growth strategy, the Company intends to pursue acquisitions of
bulk inventories of aircraft spare parts and complementary businesses.
Additionally, the Company is currently evaluating the prospect of purchasing and
implementing a new management information system and exploring the possibility
of consolidating its various facilities into a single warehouse facility.
Financing for such activities would be provided from operations and from the
proceeds of the Amended Credit facility. The Company may also issue additional
debt and/or equity securities or seek to borrow additional funds under its
Amended Credit Facility in connection with its business activities.
