                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





December 13, 1996

To the Participants and Benefits Administration Committee
    of the Aviall UK
    Stock Purchase SAYE Scheme


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects,
the net assets of the Aviall UK Stock Purchase SAYE Scheme (the "Plan") at
September 18, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the changes in net assets for the
period from January 1, 1996 to September 18, 1996 and the period from April 1,
1995 (inception) to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As further discussed in Note 1, the Plan was terminated on June 10, 1996.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  TERMINATION OF PLAN

    On June 10, 1996, Aviall, Inc. (the "Company") completed the sale of its
    engine services business which included the operation based in the United
    Kingdom whose employees comprised all participants in the Aviall UK Stock
    Purchase SAYE Scheme (the "Plan").  As a result of the sale, all Plan
    participants were terminated from the Company and all plan assets were
    distributed to participants.  Final distribution occurred on September 18,
    1996.  Formal termination of the Plan in accordance with applicable United
    Kingdom laws is now in process.

2.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

    The Plan was established effective March 28, 1995 to promote the interests
    of the Company by providing eligible employees of the Company in the United
    Kingdom with additional incentive to continue their employment and to
    increase efforts to promote the Company.  Prior to termination, the Plan
    provided eligible employees with the opportunity to purchase shares of the
    Company's common stock through payroll deductions at prices which were less
    than the current market price.  The Company reserved 30,000 shares of the
    Company's $.01 par value common stock for issuance under the Plan.  The
    Benefits Administration Committee of the Company's board of directors was
    the Plan's administrator (the "Administrator"). Halifax Building Society
    served as the plan trustee through the date of final distribution.

    The Plan provided for the issuance of invitations to eligible employees of
    the Company in the United Kingdom to apply for the granting of options to
    acquire shares of the Company's common stock at a 15% discount.  Under the
    original terms of the Plan, the option to purchase shares became
    exercisable upon participation in the Plan for five years, reaching age 65,
    death, or termination in certain change of control circumstances.  All
    options became exercisable on June 10, 1996, upon sale of the engine
    services division, at an exercise price of L.3.47 per share.

    Participant contributions to the Plan were made through payroll deductions
    in fixed monthly amounts ranging between L.10 and L.250.  Under the
    original terms of the Plan, employees who participated for the full five
    year qualifying period would receive interest at an effective rate of
    5.53%; however, due to the Plan's early termination, the five year period
    was not fulfilled and interest of 1.5% was credited to participants'
    accounts.  Participant balances at the termination date were divided by the
    exercise price of L.3.47 and rounded down in order to determine the number
    of shares acquired.  Any participant balances remaining due to rounding
    were distributed in cash.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accounting records of the Plan were maintained on the accrual basis in
    British pounds sterling.  The Company paid all of the Plan's administrative
    expenses except those incurred incident to the sale of participant stock.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


4.  INCOME TAX STATUS

    Management believes the Plan qualifies as a certified contractual savings
    scheme under Section 326 of the Income and Corporation  Taxes Act of 1988
    of the United Kingdom.  The Plan has been approved by the UK Board of
    Inland Revenue.  Had the Plan operated for the full five year period, then
    the proceeds from the sale of stock would have been "tax free" to the
    participants; however, because of the Plans early termination, participants
    will incur a tax liability.
