                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
   prepared by K & F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") pursuant
   to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the
   opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting of normal
   recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
   results of operations and cash flows.  Certain information and footnote
   disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
   with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
   pursuant to such SEC rules.  The Company believes that the disclosures made
   are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The
   consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
   December 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the full year.  It is suggested that these financial statements
   be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
   thereto included in the Company's March 31, 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Accounting Change

   Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
   Postemployment Benefits."  This statement requires that the costs of
   benefits provided to employees after employment but before retirement be
   recognized in the financial statements on an accrual basis.  The adoption of
   SFAS No. 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
   position or results of operations.


3. Receivables are summarized as follows:

                                  (CONTINUED)


   The Company customarily sells original wheel and brake equipment below cost
   as an investment in a new airframe which is expected to be recovered through
   the subsequent sale of replacement parts.  These commercial investments
   (losses) are recognized when original equipment is shipped.  Losses on U.S.
   Government contracts are immediately recognized in full when determinable.

   Inventory is stated at average cost, not in excess of net realizable value.
   In accordance with industry practice, inventoried costs may contain amounts
   relating to contracts with long production cycles, a portion of which will
   not be realized within one year.

5. Other current liabilities consist of the following:

6. Contingencies

   There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company incidental
   to its business.  Although the final results in such suits and proceedings
   cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the
   ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the
   Company.


7. Retirement of Debt

   On September 2, 1994, K & F retired the $65,371,000 principal amount of 14
   3/4% Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2004 held by Loral Corporation,
   in exchange for $12,764,000 in cash and 4,589,938 shares of Class B common
   stock representing 22.5% of equity.  The cash portion of this transaction
   was funded with the proceeds from the sale of capital stock to K & F's
   principal stockholders for which stockholders received a total of 687,273
   shares of Class A common stock and 127,636 shares of preferred stock.  As a
   result, K & F's stockholders' equity was increased by $65,371,000 million
   and long-term debt was reduced by an equal amount, resulting in no gain or
   loss on the transaction.

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

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 1994
and December 31, 1993

Sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 totaled $175,089,000
reflecting an increase of $4,598,000 or 2.7% compared with $170,491,000 for the
same period in the prior year.  This increase was due to higher commercial
sales of wheels and brakes for both commercial transport and general aviation
aircraft of $13,200,000, primarily on the DC-9, DC-10, Fo-100 and Beech
programs.  The Company is experiencing generally stronger demand over
substantially all of its commercial programs and expects this trend to continue
over the near term.  Partially offsetting this increase were lower military
sales of $3,700,000 primarily on the F-16 program and lower shipments of
commercial oil containment booms of $5,100,000.

Operating income increased 69.7% to $25,706,000 or 14.7% of sales for the first
nine months of fiscal year 1995 compared with $15,151,000 or 8.9% of sales for
the same period in the prior year.  Operating margins increased primarily due
to a favorable sales mix (whereby higher-margin commercial sales comprised a
higher percentage of total sales), the favorable overhead absorption effect
relating to the higher sales volume, lower shipments of original equipment to
airframe manufacturers at or below the cost of production and cost reductions
implemented during fiscal year 1994.

Interest expense decreased $3,145,000 for the first nine months of fiscal year
1995 compared with the same period in the prior year.  This decrease was
primarily due to the retirement of the convertible debentures on September 2,
1994 (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements) and a lower average
principal balance on the senior revolving loan.

Approximately 360 hourly employees of the Company's Aircraft Braking Systems
subsidiary are represented by the United Auto Workers' Union.  Aircraft Braking
Systems' three-year contract with the United Auto Workers' Union expired on
August 10, 1991.  Aircraft Braking Systems has not had a  ratified collective
bargaining agreement since August 10, 1991, but has operated under Company
implemented terms and conditions of employment.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31,
1994 and December 31, 1993

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 totaled $59,946,000 reflecting
an increase of $5,228,000 or 9.6% compared with $54,718,000 for the same period
in the prior year.  This increase was due to higher commercial sales of wheels
and brakes of $6,400,000 primarily on the DC-9, DC-10 and Canadair CL600
programs.  Partially offsetting this increase were lower military sales of
$500,000 and lower shipments of commercial oil containment booms of $700,000.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                     OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION




Operating income more than doubled to $9,140,000 or 15.2% of sales for the
third quarter of fiscal year 1995 compared with $3,928,000 or 7.2% of sales for
the same period in the prior year.  Operating margins increased primarily due
to a favorable sales mix (whereby higher-margin commercial sales comprised a
higher percentage of total sales), the favorable overhead absorption effect
relating to the higher sales volume and cost reductions implemented during
fiscal year 1994.

Interest expense decreased $2,364,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995
compared with the same period in the prior year.  This decrease was primarily
due to the retirement of the convertible debentures on September 2, 1994.  (See
Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.)

Financial Condition

The Company expects that its principal use of funds for the next
several years will be to pay interest on indebtedness, fund capital
expenditures and make investments in original equipment for new airframes.  
Debt  amortization commences August 1, 1999.  The Company's management believes
that it will have adequate resources to meet its cash requirements through
funds generated from operations and borrowings under its $80 million revolving
credit facility (maturing April 27, 1997 and subject to a borrowing base of a
portion of eligible accounts receivable and inventory).  At December 31, 1994,
the Company had $55.3 million available to borrow under its revolving credit
facility.


On September 2, 1994, K & F retired the $65,371,000 principal amount of 14 3/4%
Convertible Debentures due 2004 held by Loral Corporation, in exchange for
$12,764,000 in cash and 4,589,938 shares of Class B common stock representing
22.5% of equity.  The retirement of the convertible debentures has reduced the
Company's future cash requirements by approximately $195 million had the
debentures been outstanding until maturity. (See Note 7 to the consolidated
financial statements.)

Accounting Change

Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
The adoption of SFAS No. 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.  (See Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements.)
