               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kratz-Wilde Machine Company

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kratz-Wilde Machine Company
(an S Corporation) as of October 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year ended October 31,
1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Kratz-Wilde Machine Company as
of October 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended October 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, certain misstatements of
previously reported inventories as of October 31, 1996 and 1995 were discovered.
Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to net income for 1996 and retained
earnings as of October 31, 1995 to correct the misstatements.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         The following accounting practices of the Company are set forth to
         facilitate the understanding of data in the financial statements.

         Nature of operations

         The Company's line of business is the manufacture of metal stampings
         which are principally sold to customers in the aircraft, plumbing and
         automotive manufacturing industries located in the United States.

         Cash equivalents

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents consist
         of money market accounts.

         Temporary investments

         Temporary investments consist of debt securities (principally
         certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and U.S. Treasury bills)
         with maturities of less than one year. Such investments are intended to
         be held to maturity and therefore are carried at amortized cost.

         Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
         determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

         Bad debts

         Accounts receivable have been adjusted for all known uncollectible
         accounts. No allowance for bad debts is considered necessary by
         management at year end.

         Property and depreciation

         Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides for
         depreciation of property and equipment using annual rates which are
         sufficient to amortize the cost of depreciable assets over their
         estimated useful lives, which range from three to forty-five years. The
         Company uses both the straight-line and accelerated methods of
         depreciation.

         Split dollar life insurance

         The Company records as an asset premiums paid under the split-dollar
         life insurance arrangement at the lower of the policy's cash value or
         the premiums paid by the Company through the balance sheet date.

         Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements

         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 period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Income taxes

         The Company has elected, effective November 1, 1988, to be taxed under
         provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those
         provisions, the Company will generally not pay Federal, Ohio or
         Kentucky corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, each
         stockholder will be liable for individual federal and state income
         taxes on the Company's taxable income.

         The Company can be liable for a tax on "built-in" gains until November
         1, 1988. "Built-in" gains can arise if certain appreciated assets which
         were held at the time of the effective date of the S election are
         subsequently disposed of within 10 years.

         Deferred income taxes were previously recorded for timing differences
         between financial and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes resulted
         principally from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax
         purposes and the restoration of the LIFO inventory reserve to taxable
         income as a result of electing S Corporation status. No additional
         deferred income taxes will be provided on future timing differences.
         However, because of the possibility of a "built-in" gains tax in the
         future, the Company will continue to recognize the deferred tax
         liability, arising before 1989, net of any federal income tax
         subsequently incurred.

         Related parties

         Officers of the Company own 100% of the Company's capital stock
         outstanding.

         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 8-K/A. 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.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
         financial statements of Kratz-Wilde Machine Company (the "Company")
         contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
         adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
         Company as of September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and
         cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
         1996. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine month
         period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for the year
         ending December 31, 1997.

         The amortized cost of temporary investments, by security type, at
         October 31, 1995 is as follows:

                                                           ============

         The estimated fair value of the above debt securities approximates cost
         at October 31, 1995.

3.        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

         The Company sells products to manufacturers and extends credit based on
         an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without
         collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent
         on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its
         exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances, when necessary, for
         anticipated losses.

         Three major customers accounted for sales of approximately 75% for the
         nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended
         October 31, 1996. Accounts receivable due from these customers were
         approximately $4.4 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 1997 and
         October 31, 1996, respectively.

4.        TAX DEPOSIT:

         As a corporation that has retained a fiscal year end, the Company is
         required to maintain a deposit with the Internal Revenue Service while
         the S Corporation election is in effect. This deposit is recalculated
         annually based on the preceding year's taxable income. The Company's
         total deposit balance, related to the S Corporation election, was
         $178,085 at September 30, 1997, $151,525 at October 31, 1996 and
         $209,807 at October 31, 1995.

the reporting dates:

</TABLE>

6.        PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

         The Company sponsors a profit sharing plan covering employees who are
         at least 21 years of age with a minimum of one year of service. The
         Board of Directors of the Company determines the annual contribution,
         which may not exceed 15% of the qualifying employees' compensation.
         Profit sharing plan expense was $568,087 and $426,801 for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $569,067
         for the year ended October 31, 1996.

7.        COMMITMENTS:

         Distributions

         It is anticipated that the Company will make cash distributions to the
         stockholders since they are liable for individual federal and state
         income taxes on the Company's taxable income. No additional
         distributions, in excess of the amounts recorded in the accompanying
         financial statements, have been declared as of September 30, 1997 or
         October 31, 1996. Accordingly, no S distribution payable is recognized
         in the accompanying financial statements.

         Life insurance program

         In 1995, the Company implemented a split dollar life insurance
         arrangement. The Company will pay most of the premium cost which will
         be approximately $50,000 per year. These premiums are expected to be
         repaid to the Company. The Company does not own the policies but does
         hold a collateral assignment that effectively pledges the policies'
         cash values and death proceeds as security for the return of the
         premiums paid by the Company. The cash values are expected to
         eventually exceed the cumulative premiums paid. The Company's recovery
         of the premiums paid is contingent upon continuation of the life
         insurance program in the future.

         The Company is the owner and beneficiary of other life insurance
         policies under a buy-sell agreement between the stockholders. The
         Company's annual premium cost under this arrangement is approximately
         $40,000 per year.

8.       INVENTORIES:

         Subsequent to issuance of the reviewed financial statements for the
         year ended October 31, 1996 it was determined that inventory was
         overstated. Correction of these estimated misstatements resulted in a
         decrease of previously reported net income for 1996 amounting to
         $783,000 and a decrease to retained earnings as of October 31, 1995
         amounting to $702,000. The cumulative effect of these changes was to
         decrease retained earnings as of October 31, 1996 by $1,485,000.

</TABLE>

9.       CONTINGENCY:

         The Company is a defendant in lawsuits arising from normal business
         activities. Outside counsel for the Company has advised that at this
         stage they cannot offer an opinion as to their probable outcome.
         Management has reviewed pending litigation and believes that the
         ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially
         affect the Company's financial position. Nevertheless, it is at least
         reasonably possible that such an effect will occur, although the amount
         cannot be estimated.

10.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

         The Company agreed in September 1997 to sell principally all of its
         operating assets for $42.5 million. All of the Company's operations
         will be transferred to the new owner.

(B)    PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     AVIATION SALES COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         AND KRATZ-WILDE MACHINE COMPANY

The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements
include the consolidated financial statements of Aviation Sales Company and
Subsidiaries ("the Company") which includes the accounts of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Aviation Sales Operating Company, Inc., Aviation Sales Finance
Company and Aerocell Structures, Inc. ("Aerocell") which the Company acquired in
September, 1997, and the financial statements of Kratz-Wilde Machine Company
("Kratz-Wilde") which the Company acquired in October, 1997. Although the
Aerocell acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling of interests
method of accounting, the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1996 have not been restated to give retroactive effect
for the acquisition due to the immateriality of the restated amounts. As a
result of the Aerocell acquisition, the Company's operating revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by approximately $14.3 million.
The Kratz-Wilde acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.

The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements
present the pro forma financial position of the Company at September 30, 1997
and the pro forma results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 and October 31, 1996 as
if the acquisition of Kratz-Wilde, which occurred October 17, 1997, had been
consummated as of January 1, 1996.

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. Unaudited basic and diluted earnings per share computed in
accordance with SFAS No. 128 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
the year ended December 31, 1996 and October 31, 1996 do not differ materially
from primary and fully diluted earnings per share as presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma 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) and the October 31,
1996 financial statements of Kratz-Wilde, which are included in this filing.
