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 six months ended June 30, 2000 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 December 31, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

an investment in a new airframe which is expected to be recovered through the
subsequent sale of replacement parts. These commercial investments (losses) are

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

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $184,203,000, reflecting an
increase of $11,172,000 compared with $173,031,000 for the same period in the
prior year. This increase was due to higher commercial transport and general
aviation sales of $8,037,000 primarily for wheels and brakes on the MD-90,
A-321, Canadair Regional Jet and Gulfstream programs, partially offset by lower
sales on the MD-80, DC-10, DC-9 and Fokker 100 programs. Military sales
increased $3,135,000 primarily due to higher shipments of aircraft fuel tanks on
the F/A-18 program and wheels and brakes on various programs.

Operating income increased by $7,269,000 to $55,242,000, or 30.0% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared with $47,973,000, or 27.7% of sales
for the same period in the prior year. Operating margins increased primarily due
to a favorable sales mix, the overhead absorption effect relating to the higher
sales and operating efficiencies. Partially offsetting this increase was higher
investments in original equipment for airframe manufacturers.

Interest expense, net decreased by $1,521,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a
lower average debt balance, partially offset by higher interest rates on the
Company's variable rate indebtedness.

The Company's effective tax rate of 40.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state and local income
taxes. The effective tax rate of (28.6)% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
differs from the statutory rate of 35% due to a net decrease in the valuation
allowance partially offset by state and local income taxes. The increase in the
effective rate in 2000 over 1999 is primarily due to a net decrease in the
valuation allowance in the prior year.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $98,741,000, reflecting
an increase of $14,541,000 compared with $84,200,000 for the same period in the
prior year. This increase was due to higher commercial transport and general
aviation sales of $12,811,000 primarily for wheels and brakes on the MD-90,
MD-11, Canadair Regional Jet and Gulfstream programs. Military sales increased
$1,730,000 primarily due to higher shipments of aircraft fuel tanks on the
F/A-18 program.

Operating income increased by $7,845,000 to $31,459,000, or 31.9% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared with $23,614,000, or 28.0% of
sales for the same period in the prior year. Operating margins increased
primarily due to a favorable sales mix, the overhead absorption effect relating
to higher sales and operating efficiencies. Partially offsetting this increase
was higher investments in original equipment for airframe manufacturers.

Interest expense, net decreased by $844,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a
lower average debt balance, partially offset by higher interest rates on the
Company's variable rate indebtedness.

<PAGE>   11
The Company's effective tax rate of 38.6% for the three months ended June 30,
2000 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state and local
income taxes partially offset by a net decrease in the valuation allowance. The
effective tax rate of (68.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 differs
from the statutory rate of 35% due to a net decrease in the valuation allowance
partially offset by state and local income taxes. The increase in the effective
rate in 2000 over 1999 is primarily due to a larger decrease in the valuation
allowance in the prior year.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company expects that its principal use of funds for the next several years
will be to fund capital expenditures, to make investments in new airframes and
to pay interest and principal on indebtedness. The Company's primary source of
funds for conducting its business activities and servicing its indebtedness has
been cash generated from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit
facility. At June 30, 2000, the Company had $21.5 million available to borrow
under its $50 million revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $46,961,000 and reflected $63,142,000 of earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), decreases in accounts
receivable of $7,251,000, increases in accounts payable of $3,908,000, partially
offset by increases in inventory of $3,602,000, decreases in other current
liabilities of $2,867,000, long-term liabilities of $2,253,000, increases in
other working capital of $1,023,000 and interest payments of $17,595,000. During
the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $19,779,000 and reflected $56,679,000 of EBITDA, increases in
accounts payable of $5,778,000, increases in long-term liabilities of $291,000,
partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $16,937,000, increases
in other working capital of $788,000, inventory of $5,515,000 and interest
payments of $19,729,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, net cash used in investing
activities amounted to $6,123,000 and $4,754,000, respectively. These
expenditures were primarily for capital expenditures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, net cash used by financing
activities amounted to $40,750,000 and $18,750,000, respectively, each
representing the repayment of indebtedness.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has $392.9 million of total debt outstanding at June 30, 2000. Of
this amount, $185 million is borrowed at a fixed rate of 9 1/4% and the balance
is borrowed under our credit facility. The interest rate for borrowings under
the credit facility varies with LIBOR or the prime rate at the Company's option.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of
potential increases in interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement fixes
the Company's LIBOR borrowing rate at 5.95% on $122 million at June 30, 2000 and
matures on December 17, 2001 with an option for the counterparty to extend the
agreement to December 17, 2003. Therefore, the Company has effectively fixed the
interest rate on $307 million of its indebtedness at June 30, 2000. Given that
approximately 78% of the Company's borrowings are at fixed interest rates, a
change in rates of 10% would not have a significant impact on fair values, cash
flows or earnings. The Company has no other derivative financial instruments.
