                      AVIATION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  balance sheets and related
interim statements of income and cash flows include all adjustments  (consisting
only of normal  recurring  items)  necessary  for  their  fair  presentation  in
conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Preparing financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Examples include
provisions  for warranty  claims and bad debts and the length of assets'  useful
lives.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  Interim results are not
necessarily  indicative of results for a full year. The information in this Form
10-QSB should be read in conjunction with  Management's  Discussion and Analysis
of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  and the financial  statements
and notes thereto  included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June
30, 1997.


NOTE B - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     On August 19, 1997,  the Company  closed an initial  public  offering  (the
"IPO") of its Common Stock and Redeemable  Common Stock Purchase  Warrants.  The
Company  sold  through  its  underwriter  1,150,000  shares of Common  Stock and
1,150,000  Common Stock  Purchase  Warrants,  which  resulted in net proceeds of
$5,189,000, net of approximately $1,539,000 of associated underwriting discounts
and offering  expenses.  The proceeds were used to repay the 10% Bridge Notes of
$500,000, to fund the cash portion of the CAS acquisition of $1,167,000,  and to
repay approximately $700,000 of bank and other indebtedness.


NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF CASPER AIR SERVICE

     Concurrent  with the IPO in August  1997,  the Company  acquired all of the
outstanding  common  stock of Casper  Air  Service,  a  full-service  Fixed Base
Operation ("FBO") in Casper,  Wyoming. The purchase price of $2,519,000 included
$1,167,000  in cash  compensation,  153,565  shares  of Common  Stock  valued at
approximately  $883,000 and transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase  method and the purchase  price has been allocated to the net
assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired  (including tax attributes)
has been  recorded as goodwill and is being  amortized  using the  straight-line
method over 20 years.

     Casper Air Service  ("CAS") is located at the Natrona County  International
Airport in Casper, Wyoming and has been in business continuously since 1946. CAS
offers  aircraft  line  services,   aircraft  repair  and   maintenance,   parts
distribution and aircraft sales.


NOTE D - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings (loss) per common and common  equivalent share ("EPS") is computed
based on the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  and gives
effect to certain  adjustments  described below.  During the fiscal period ended
June 30, 1997,  the Company  issued  common  stock  warrants  with  issuance and
exercise  prices  below  that of the price of the  Company's  IPO  common  stock
offering.  Pursuant to  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  requirements,  the
dilutive  effect  of  these  securities  has  been  included  in the  Basic  EPS
calculation  as if they were  outstanding as of the beginning of the period with
the dilutive effect measured using the treasury stock method.  As a result,  for
the three months and six months ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Basic EPS
calculation  reflects an increase in common  shares for the assumed  exercise of
the warrants. No adjustment was made for the assumed conversion of the Company's
convertible   debt  for  any  period   presented   since  the  effect  would  be
antidilutive.

                     AVIATION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE E - NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In February  1997,  the FASB issued  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share",
effective for financial  statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997,  which  establishes  standards for computing and  presenting  earnings per
share (EPS). The statement  requires dual  presentation of basic and diluted EPS
on the face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures
and requires a reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation,  to the numerator and  denominator of the diluted EPS  computation.
Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially  dilutive  securities while diluted
EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that would occur if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted into, or resulted in
the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

     In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Financial
Accounting  Standard No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income ("FAS 130"), and
Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  131,  Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an
Enterprise and Related  Information ("FAS 131"),  which are effective for fiscal
years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  Effective July 1, 1998, the Company
will adopt FAS 130 and FAS 131.

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


GENERAL

     Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations ("MD&A") contains "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of
Section  27A of the  Securities  Act and Section 21E of the  Exchange  Act.  All
statements,  other than  statements of historical  facts,  included in this MD&A
regarding  the Company's  financial  position,  business  strategy and plans and
objectives   of   management   of  the   Company  for  future   operations   are
forward-looking  statements.  These  forward-looking  statements  are subject to
risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to differ  materially
from those  contemplated  in such  forward-looking  statements,  including those
described  below.  Investors are cautioned not to place undue  reliance on these
forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes   no   obligation   to  release   publicly  any  revisions  to  these
forward-looking  statements to reflect  events or  circumstances  after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

     The  Company,  through  its three  operating  divisions,  offers a range of
services to the aviation  industry.  The Company  ultimately  plans to capture a
larger  market  share  of the  services  being  outsourced  by the  airline  and
corporate aircraft industry, including but not limited to, airline and corporate
aircraft painting, corrosion cleaning, ground handling services, light catering,
fueling,  airport  security and  passenger  service.  The Company  plans to grow
through mergers, acquisitions and internal growth.


Overhaul Services Division
- --------------------------

     Net revenues from the Overhaul Services Division consist primarily of gross
revenues from  stripping  and painting and other  aircraft  coating  services to
major passenger and freight  airlines and corporate  aircraft.  The Company also
contracts with various heavy  maintenance  bases throughout the United States to
provide  corrosion  prevention  programs  and  light  maintenance  for  aircraft
undergoing  heavy  maintenance  work at these bases.  Costs of revenues  consist
largely of direct and indirect labor,  direct  material and supplies,  insurance
and  other  indirect  costs  applicable  to the  completion  of  each  contract.
Operating expenses consist of all general and administrative and operating costs
not included in costs of sales,  including but not limited to  facilities  rent,
indirect labor and other overhaul costs.

     This division of the Company has three locations, Acadiana Regional Airport
in New Iberia,  Louisiana (Pride),  Portland  International Airport in Portland,
Oregon (Pride  Portland) and Redbird Airport in Dallas,  Texas (TriStar  Paint).
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, all work previously performed at the
Company's Redbird facility was transferred to New Iberia.

Ground Services Division
- ------------------------

     Net revenues from the Ground Services  Division consist  primarily of gross
revenues  from  a  variety  of  support  services  including  aircraft  interior
cleaning, exterior washes, lavatory and water services and light catering. Costs
of revenues  consist largely of direct and indirect  labor,  direct material and
supplies,  and other indirect costs.  Operating  expenses consist of all general
and administrative and operating costs not included in costs of sales.

     Airline  Services has had  operations at  Dallas-Fort  Worth  International
Airport  since  1990,  Dallas  Love Field  airport  since  1986,  San  Francisco
International  Airport  since 1995 and Gulfport  Biloxi  Regional  Airport since
1994. In 1997, the Company executed new ground service  contracts with customers
under which it established  operations in the Los Angeles International Airport,
Oakland  Airport,  and Kansas  City  Airport and Fort  Lauderdale  International
Airport.   The  Company   intends  to  close  its  stations  at  San   Francisco
International  Airport, Los Angeles  International  Airport, and Fort Lauderdale
International Airport during the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

FBO & Airport Management Division
- ---------------------------------

     The Company commenced its Fixed Base Operation  ("FBO")  operations in July
1996,  upon the  commencement  of business  at its  initial FBO site  located at
Redbird Airport in Dallas, Texas. This division generates revenues from the sale
of  aviation  fuel and other  services  provided to general  aviation  customers
located at the Redbird  Airport  facility.  Costs  associated with this activity
include  primarily fuel,  facility rent, and direct labor. The Company initiated
these  operations  at its existing  Dallas  location  with the intent to operate
profitably  the  business,  but also to allow it to assemble its  financial  and
managerial  resources to begin its acquisition  activities in this division.  In
August 1997, the Company acquired Casper Air Service  ("CAS"),  which operates a
full service FBO in Casper,  Wyoming.  Activities at CAS include fueling,  parts
sales,  maintenance  and repair  services  for  corporate  and general  aviation
aircraft.


Aviation Group - Corporate Overhead
- -----------------------------------

     Operating  expenses consist of all general and administrative and operating
costs to provide  management to the  Company's  divisions,  to support  expected
growth,  and to seek  acquisition  targets,  not  directly  attributable  to the
divisions' operations.

SEASONALITY AND VARIABILITY OF RESULTS

     The  Company's   Overhaul   Services   Division   experiences   significant
seasonality  and  quarter-to-quarter  variability  in its stripping and painting
operations.  The annual operating cycle generally reflects  escalating strip and
paint  revenues in the  Company's  third and fourth  fiscal  quarters and slower
sales in the Company's first and second fiscal quarters.  The Company's painting
revenues are adversely affected during the airlines' peak traffic seasons of the
summer months and the November and December  holidays.  Currently,  the Overhaul
and  Service  Division  generates  a  significant  percentage  of the  Company's
revenue. Management, therefore, is required to plan cash flow accordingly.

     Revenues for the Overhaul  Services Division  increased  $1,196,000 for the
three months ended  December  31, 1997 and  $1,519,000  for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 over the comparable  period in the prior years.  This increase
is due primarily to the contract with Boeing  Aircraft to paint seven Boeing 777
aircraft,  which began in November 1997.  Billings  during the second quarter of
1997 on the Boeing contract totaled approximately $1,279,000.

     Revenues for the Ground Services Division  increased by $113,000 or 47% for
the three months  ended  December 31, 1997 and $272,000 or 62% for the six month
period  ended  December 31, 1997 over the  comparable  period in the prior year.
This increase is related primarily to increased  activity at new stations opened
during fiscal 1997, which include Kansas City, Los Angeles International Airport
and Oakland International  Airport.  Additionally,  a station was established at
Fort Lauderdale International Airport during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

     Revenues  for  the  FBO  and  Airport  Management   Division  increased  by
$1,880,000 or 1,664% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and $3,204,000
or 1,346% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 over the comparable  period
in the prior year. This increase is due principally to the acquisition of Casper
Air  Service in August  1997.  Casper Air  Service  contributed  $1,846,000  and
$3,120,000  to revenues for the three  months and six months ended  December 31,
1997, respectively.

     Gross  Profit.  Gross profit for the three month period ended  December 31,
1997  increased  $899,000 or 92% from the three month period ended  December 31,
1996.  Gross profit for the six month period ended  December 31, 1997  increased
$1,152,000  or 94% from the six  month  period  ended  December  31,  1996.  The

     Gross profit for the Overhaul Services Division  increased  $501,000 or 59%
for the three  months  ended  December  31, 1997 and $526,000 or 51% for the six
months  ended  December 31, 1997 over the  comparable  period in the prior year.
This  increase is related  primarily to the gross profit  obtained on the Boeing
contract mentioned earlier.

     Gross profit for the Ground Services  Division  decreased by $63,000 or 49%
for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1997 and $67,000 or 33% for the six
months  ended  December 31, 1997 over the  comparable  period in the prior year.
This decrease is related  primarily to the expansion during fiscal 1997 into new
stations  at  Kansas   City,   Los  Angeles   International   Airport,   Oakland
International  Airport and Fort Lauderdale  International  Airport during fiscal
1997 and in the first  quarter of 1998 and the "start  up" losses  generated  by
these new locations.  These losses resulted from the investment in personnel and
resources  needed  to  initiate  and  expand  new  services  at the new  airport
locations listed above.

     Gross  profit for the FBO and  Airport  Management  Division  increased  by
$461,000 for the three  months ended  December 31, 1997 and $693,000 for the six
months  ended  December 31, 1997 over the  comparable  period in the prior year.
This  increase  is related  primarily  to  acquisition  of Casper Air Service in
August  1997.  Casper Air Service  contributed  $467,000  and  $684,000 to gross
profit for the Company during the three months and six months ended December 31,
1997, respectively.

     The Company's general and  administrative  expenses  increased  $813,000 or
110% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and $1,361,000 or 103% for the
six months ended December 31, 1997 over the comparable prior year periods. These
increases are due to several factors.  Corporate overhead accounted for $240,000
of the increase for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and $447,000 of the
increase for the six months ended  December 31,  1997.  These  increases  relate
primarily to additions in management infrastructure, higher legal and accounting
costs of operating a publicly  traded company and  additional  costs of managing
the  Company's  growth.  The  addition  of Casper  Air  Service  in August  1997
increased general and  administrative  expenses by $356,000 in the quarter ended
December 31, 1997 and $486,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.

     The Company's  depreciation and amortization  expense increased by $135,000
or 241% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and $139,000 or 72% for the
six months ended December 31, 1997 from the comparable period in the prior year.
This increase is related  primarily to the acquisition of Casper Air Service and
the  associated  depreciation  of fixed  assets  and  amortization  of  goodwill
acquired.

     The Company's interest expense increased $3,000 or 11% for the three months
ended  December 31, 1997 and $108,000 or 164% for the six months ended  December
31, 1997 over the  comparable  period in the prior year. The increase of the six
month period is due principally to $64,000 of interest  expense  accreted to the
Bridge  Notes  during the first  quarter of 1997 as a result of the common stock
payable to the  Bridge  Note  holders  upon  completion  of the  initial  public
offering.  The remaining  increase  relates to the assumption of certain debt in
the acquisition of Casper Air Service as well as higher  borrowing levels in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 when compared to fiscal 1997.  Interest  expense is
presented net of interest income of $24,000 and $43,000 for the three months and
six months ended December 31, 1997, respectively.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     The  Company  financed  its  operations  and  capital  expenditures  from a
combination of cash generated from operations,  bank loans,  leases and invested
capital.

     In February 1997, the Company  completed a private  offering of $500,000 of
its 10% Bridge Notes.  The proceeds of this offering were used to fund the costs
of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and for general working capital
and  operating  purposes.  Upon the  successful  completion of the IPO in August
1997, the terms of these notes required the Company to issue to the holders that
number of shares of Common  Stock that  equals  $250,000  divided by the initial
public offering price. Accordingly,  $250,000 of the proceeds has been allocated
to equity and credited to paid in capital and the notes payable were recorded at
a discounted amount of $250,000.  The discount was amortized to interest expense
over the period from the completion of the Bridge Note offering until August 19,
1997, which was the consummation date of the IPO. These notes and the associated
interest were repaid following the funding of the IPO.

     The Company  realized  approximately  $5.2 million in net proceeds from the
IPO in August 1997. The proceeds have been used to repay the 10% Bridge Notes of
$500,000, to fund the cash portion of the CAS acquisition of $1,167,000,  and to
repay approximately $700,000 of bank and other indebtedness. Additionally, these
proceeds  have  been  and  will  be  used in the  future  to  fund  expenditures
including,  but not limited to, capital  expenditures  for existing  operations,
facilities  improvements,  acquisition of other aviation services  companies and
general  working  capital  for  operations  and other  corporate  purposes.  The
Company's capital structure has improved significantly as a result of completing
the IPO.

     As part of its growth strategy,  the Company intends to pursue acquisitions
of  related  aviation   businesses.   Management  believes  financing  for  such
acquisitions  will be  provided  from  operations,  bank  financing  and through
additional security offerings.

     The  Company,  in  conjunction  with the  growth  by  acquisition  strategy
outlined above, incurred corporate general and administrative  expenses totaling
$333,000  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1997.  These  general and
administrative  expenses  relate  primarily  to  the  management  infrastructure
required to seek out and evaluate  potential  acquisition  candidates and manage
the  anticipated  growth of the  business.  The Company has several  acquisition
candidates  identified at present.  While this level of expense is high relative
to the current revenues of the Company,  management believes that it has created
an infrastructure capable of managing the Company's growth in the future without
a proportionate growth in administrative expenses.

     The Company,  through its subsidiary Pride Aviation, Inc., has entered into
a letter of intent with the Iberia Parish Airport Authority to enter into a long
term lease for the proposed wide body aircraft painting hangar to be constructed
in New Iberia, Louisiana. Prior to funding the construction of the hangar, Pride
Aviation,  Inc.  will  execute  a lease  requiring  monthly  rent  payments  not
exceeding $35,000 upon completion of the hangar's construction.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     In September  1997, the Company was awarded a contract to provide  painting
services  to the Boeing  Company.  Phase 1 of the  contract  provides  for seven
Boeing 777 aircraft to be painted in the Company's  Portland  painting  facility
from November 1997 through February 1998.

     The  Company  believes  that  funds  available  under its  existing  credit
facilities,  together with cash generated from  operations and proceeds from the
IPO will be adequate for its anticipated cash needs. Management expects that the
proceeds  from  the IPO will  allow it to  experience  accelerated  growth  both
internally and through well-planned acquisitions of aviation services companies.

                         ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

(c)  For the quarter  ended  December  31, 1997,  the Company  issued a total of
     69,353  shares of Common  Stock  pursuant to the  exercise  of  outstanding
