                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Audio International, Inc.
North Little Rock, Arkansas

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Audio 
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the 
related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings and 
consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 
audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in the preceding 
paragraph provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our previously issued auditors' reports dated April 4, 1996, and 
February 21, 1997, we did not express an opinion on the consolidated 
statement of earnings and retained earnings, or the consolidated statement of 
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, since we had not audited 
such statements. In accordance with your subsequent instructions, we have now 
audited the consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings and the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, our 
present opinion on these financial statements, as presented herein, is 
different from that expressed in our previous reports.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Audio International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then 
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     As discussed in Note 12, the Company prepared its financial statements 
for years prior to 1995 on the income tax basis of accounting. Effective 
January 1, 1995, the Company adopted generally accepted accounting principles 
for the preparation of its financial statements, and accordingly, appropriate 
adjustments have been made to retained earnings as of January 1, 1995.

                                    AND SUBSIDIARY

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A)  BUSINESS ACTIVITY
     Audio International, Inc. (the Company), an Arkansas Corporation, was
     incorporated January 2, 1987 for the primary purpose of designing,
     manufacturing and marketing audio and video systems for the aviation
     industry.  On February 16, 1995, the Company formed a new corporation,
     Audio International Sales, Inc. (a Foreign Sales Corporation), in the
     Virgin Islands which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Foreign
     sales accounted for approximately 6.9% and 7.2% of total revenues for the
     years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     B)  CONSOLIDATION
     The accompanying financial statements present the consolidated accounts of
     the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Accordingly, the consolidated
     financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, income,
     expenses, and cash flows for these companies. All significant intercompany
     transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     C)  INVENTORIES
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
     market.

     D)  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
     Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on historical
     experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable.
     The balance of the allowance at December 31, 1996 and 1995, was $20,000.

     E)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
     Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major renewals and betterments
     are capitalized while replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not
     improve or extend the life of an asset are expensed.  Property and
     equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the various
     assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.

     F)  INCOME TAXES
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
     between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
     using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
     expected to reverse. Current income taxes are based on taxable income for
     federal and state tax reporting purposes.

     G)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, management considers all
     highly liquid debt instruments, including repurchase agreements, with an
     original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     H)  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
     Current operations are charged with all research, engineering, and product
     development expenses which amounted to approximately $640,000 and $376,000
     for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

     I)  WARRANTY RESERVE
     The financial statements include product warranty reserves of approximately
     $62,000 and $25,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
     reserve, which is classified as a current liability for 


                                       5
<PAGE>

     financial statement purposes, is based upon estimates of future costs 
     associated with fulfilling warranty obligations.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     J)  ADVERTISING EXPENSE
     Advertising expenditures, including production cost related to various
     units utilized for demonstrations and display, are expensed as incurred.

     K)  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
     The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
     credit risk consist primarily of cash in financial institutions, repurchase
     agreements, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and
     temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times
     such deposits may be in excess of insurance limits. The Company routinely
     assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence,
     believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is
     limited.

     L)  USE OF ESTIMATES
     In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
     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.

     M)  RECLASSIFICATIONS
     Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 1995, have been
     reclassified to conform with the presentation of the December 31, 1996
     amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on net income for the years
     ended December 31, 1996 or 1995.


NOTE 2:  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Company is party to a contract with a local bank under which all
     operating funds on deposit with the bank are invested in repurchase
     agreements on a daily basis. The bank maintains, as collateral for the
     benefit of the Company, certain securities in its investment portfolio. The
     collateral consists of United States government obligations, obligations of
     United States government agencies, or other obligations guaranteed by the
     United States government. The securities are held by an agent bank or
     registered in the agent's name as an owner or pledgee at the Federal
     Reserve Bank. Interest, at a rate determined by the bank, is paid on a
     daily basis. The agreements are repurchased by the bank upon presentation
     of any check or other withdrawal of funds from the Company's operating
     account.


NOTE 3:  INVENTORIES

     Inventories at December 31, 1996 and 1995 consist of the following:

                                1996         1995

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 4:  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     During 1995 the City of North Little Rock Industrial Development
     Corporation conveyed title to certain land to the Company for consideration
     of $10 and an agreement that the Company would locate its new facility on
     the property.  This land, and the related contribution of capital, was
     recorded for financial statement purposes at its estimated fair market
     value of $90,000 at the date of receipt.

     The following is a summary of property and equipment as of December 31:

                                                  Cost

                                       ----------   ----------

     The Company substantially completed construction of its new facility, and
     moved its operations from leased facilities, in December 1995. This change
     in facilities resulted in losses from abandonment of leasehold improvements
     of approximately $42,000.


NOTE 5:  OTHER INVESTMENTS

     In December 1996, the Company entered into a contract with an unrelated
     entity, whereby the Company advanced the entity $100,000 to be used to
     manufacture and develop certain products for the Company. The advance
     payment will be recovered through annual discounts on Company purchases of
     products from the entity over the term of the contract.

                                                         --------   --------
                                                         --------   --------

     During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company obtained permanent
     financing, which refinanced its interim note on its new facility. Thus, the
     note has been classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 1996 and
     1995, for financial statement purposes. This debt requires a reserve
     account for monthly deposits to provide for the next installment of debt
     service. The balance in this account, which totaled $42,490 and $-0- at
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, is included in Cash in Financial
     Institutions. The terms of the note also require the Company to meet
     certain restrictive debt covenants, which have been met as of December 31,
     1996 and 1995.

     Cash payments for interest on all debt amounted to $46,210 and $22,640 for
     the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 9:  INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
     1995, is summarized as follows:
                                                        1996       1995
                                                      --------   -------

                                                      --------   -------
       Deferred:
         Federal                                      $(13,750)  $ 3,780
         State                                          (2,628)      265
                                                      --------   -------
                                                       (16,378)    4,045

       Total provision for income taxes               $926,079   $66,000
                                                      --------   -------
                                                      --------   -------

     The actual income tax expense differs from "expected" tax expense (computed
     by applying appropriate U.S. Federal corporate income tax rates to income
     before income taxes) primarily due to the effects of state income tax,
     Federal and state tax credits, nondeductible life insurance premiums,
     Foreign Sales Corporation income exclusions and entertainment expenses.

     Cash payments for income taxes amounted to $87,617 and $259,147 for the
     years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The Company's deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at 
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, are as follows:
                                                        1996       1995
                                                      --------   -------

       Current deferred tax assets, net               $37,898    $30,135
       Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, net        22,605     31,220

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 9:  INCOME TAXES (Continued)

     The Company's deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities result
     primarily from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax
     purposes; bad debt reserves, accrued warranty expense and accrued vacation
     expense being recorded for financial statement purposes; and different
     inventory valuations for tax and book purposes.

     In assessing of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
     more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset
     will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
     dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods
     in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the
     level of historical taxable income, management believes it is more likely
     than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible
     differences.


NOTE 10:  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Company has adopted a retirement plan which qualifies under Section
     401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore includes certain salary
     deferral features for eligible employees. Employees may elect to contribute
     up to fifteen percent of their gross earnings to the plan. The Company
     makes matching contributions equal to employee contributions up to 3% of
     each participating employee's salary. Matching contributions to the plan
     were approximately $39,900 and $24,700 for the years ended December 31,
     1996 and 1995, respectively.


NOTE 11:  BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS

     The majority of the  Company's sales and service revenues are generated
     through customers in the private aviation industry located throughout the
     United States. At any given time, certain customers may account for
     significant portions of the Company's business. The Company's largest six
     customers accounted for approximately 63% and 58% of net sales for the
     years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


NOTE 12:  RESTATEMENT OF BALANCES

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted generally accepted
     accounting principles for the preparation of its financial statements. In
     previous years, the records and financial statements of the Company were
     prepared on the income tax basis of accounting. Certain adjustments have
     been applied to the beginning retained earnings in order to restate amounts
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     An analysis of these adjustments, and the restated beginning retained
     earnings, is as follows:

     January 1, 1995 balance, as previously reported                   $853,765
     Adjustments for expense accruals and reserves                      (70,000)
     Adjustments for inventory, property and equipment valuations       130,834
                                                                       --------

     January 1, 1995 balance, as restated                              $914,599
                                                                       --------

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 13:  COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE

     During 1995, the Company and its shareholders entered into an agreement
     under which twenty-nine shares of the Company's $1 par value capital stock
     were to be issued to a new shareholder in exchange for consideration of
     $600,000 deposited with the Company during 1995.  In addition, the then
     existing shareholders of the Company each would sell seven shares of their
     capital stock to the new shareholder, creating a one-third interest for
     each of the three shareholders. This agreement was consummated February 20,
     1996. For comparative financial statement purposes, certain
     reclassifications have been made to reflect this transaction as of December
     31, 1995. Thus, at December 31, 1996 and 1995, one hundred and twenty-nine
     of the Company's one thousand authorized shares were considered to be
     issued and outstanding.

     The stock acquisition agreement contained additional provisions requiring
     the employment of each of the three shareholders for a minimum of five
     years from the date of the agreement and various other provisions related
     to bonus arrangements and fringe benefits.


NOTE 14:  EVENT (UNAUDITED) SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'
         REPORT

     On November 14, 1997, the Company's stockholders entered into an
     acquisition agreement, under which all shares of the Company were acquired
     by DeCrane Aircraft Holdings, Inc.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should be read
in conjunction with: (i) the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto, and the unaudited pro forma financial data for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which are included in the Company's Prospectus dated April
16, 1997 issued in connection with its initial public offering of common stock
(as previously filed as Exhibit 20.1 to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997); and (ii) the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997.

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the
Company, adjusted to present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
results of operations of the Company as if the following transactions had
occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) the acquisition of Audio International, Inc.
("Audio International") for $24,726,000 in cash, including $726,000 of
acquisition related expenses; (ii) the Minority Interest and ADS Acquisitions,
as described in the Company's Prospectus; (iii) the Recapitalization, as
described in the Company's Prospectus; and (iv) the sale by the Company of
2,700,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom as set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the
acquisition of Audio International on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition
had occurred on September 30, 1997.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflects the unaudited historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company, adjusted to reflect: (i) the
pro forma effect of the Recapitalization and the Offering; and (ii) the
combination, with appropriate adjustments, of the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Audio International nine months ended September 30, 1997
(the "1997 Acquisition").

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1996 reflects the audited historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company, adjusted to reflect: (i) the combination,
with appropriate adjustments, of the unaudited financial statements of ADS for
the period from January 1 through September 18, 1996, the date on which it was
acquired and the Minority Interest Acquisition (the "1996 Acquisitions"); (ii)
the pro forma effect of the Recapitalization and the Offering; and (iii) the
combination, with appropriate adjustments, of the audited consolidated financial
statements of Audio International for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the
"1997 Acquisition").

     The Company believes the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Information contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the above described transactions. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are
reasonable. With respect to the Audio International pro forma acquisition
adjustments described in the accompanying notes, the allocation of the purchase
price is preliminary and subject to final determination by the Company. The pro
forma acquisition adjustments also exclude the effect of contingent
consideration aggregating a maximum $6,000,000 payable over two years based on
future attainment of defined performance criteria. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated on the dates
indicated, or that may be obtained in future periods.

                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                          FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(11)  Reflects the Recapitalization as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for
      the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(12)  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, reflects the
      Recapitalization, adjusted on a pro forma basis for the Offering.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, reflects the Recapitalization,
      adjusted on a pro forma basis for 1996 Acquisitions and the Offering.

      Both periods also reflect 50,743 additional common shares issued to two
      stockholders during the fourth quarter of 1997 to settle their asserted
      claim that they were entitled to additional shares pursuant to certain
      anti-dilution provisions as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
      quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(13)  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, reflects the
      Recapitalization, adjusted on a pro forma basis for the Offering as
      described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
      1997 and the acquisition of Audio International.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, reflects the Recapitalization,
      adjusted on a pro forma basis for the 1996 Acquisitions and the Offering
      as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
      30, 1997 and the acquisition of Audio International.

      Both periods also reflect 50,743 additional common shares issued to two
      stockholders during the fourth quarter of 1997 to settle their asserted
      claim that they were entitled to additional shares pursuant to certain
      anti-dilution provisions as described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
      quarter ended September 30, 1997.

(14)  As described in "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data" in the
      Prospectus.

(15)  Represents an increase in the provision for income taxes resulting from
      an increase in pro forma taxable income, net of a partial utilization of
      net operating loss carryforwards.

      Subsequent to consummation of the Offering, the Company determined that
      the amount of loss carryforwards that may be utilized in each period is
      subject to limitations because of the occurrence of a change in control
      of the Company, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. A change of
      control occurred during 1996 as a result of certain equity transactions
      and upon consummation of the Offering in 1997. The tax provision in 
      this pro forma reflects the limitation of the utilization of net 
      operating loss carryforwards.

(16)  Represents an increase to fair value of the assets acquired.

(17)  The total purchase price paid at closing was $24,726,000 in cash,
      including and estimated $726,000 in acquisition related costs. The
      acquisition is accounted for as a purchase and the difference between the
      purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded
      as goodwill and will be amortized over 30 years. Goodwill excludes
      contingent consideration aggregating a maximum of $6,000,000 payable over
      two years based on future attainment of defined performance criteria. The
      amount of contingent consideration paid in the future, if any, will
      increase goodwill and will be amortized prospectively over the remaining
      period of the initial 30-year term.

(18)  Represents borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit to
      fund the acquisition.

(19)  Represents the elimination of net equity as of the acquisition date.
