PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Greenwich Air Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") is the largest and most diversified independent gas turbine engine
repair and overhaul company in the world. The Company provides repair and
overhaul services for gas turbine aircraft engines used to power Boeing 707,
727, 737, 747 and 767; McDonnell Douglas DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, MD-11, MD-80 and
MD-90; Airbus A-300, A-319, A-320, A-321, A-330 and A-340; Lockheed L-1011; and
a variety of military aircraft. The Company also services aeroderivative engines
used in a variety of industrial and marine applications and turboprop engines
predominately used by regional air carriers. In addition, the Company manages
government and military service and maintenance programs and provides for the
sale and refurbishment of gas turbine power plants (with electrical power output
of up to 120 megawatts) in various countries around the world.
The Company provides services to more than 500 customers, including
passenger airlines; freight and package air carriers; utilities and industrial
users; and military and government programs. Such services are provided on a
worldwide basis through four major engine repair and overhaul service centers
located in Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; East Granby, Connecticut; and
Prestwick, Scotland. These service centers are supported by engine components
repair facilities in Miami, Florida and McAllen, Texas; an engine repair and
testing facility in Fort Worth, Texas; and an engine testing facility at JFK
International Airport in New York, New York.
The Company markets its services through three marketing and technical
groups: (i) commercial aircraft engine services, (ii) government programs, and
(iii) aeroderivative engine services. These groups comprised approximately 81%,
11%, and 8%, respectively, of the Company's fiscal 1996 net sales.
The Company's net sales have increased from $75.8 million in fiscal 1991
to $397.9 million in fiscal 1996 and, notwithstanding costs incurred in
connection with its growth strategy, the Company increased net income during
such period from $3.5 million to $11.8 million. On a PRO FORMA basis for fiscal
1995, after giving effect to its acquisition of the "Aviall Business" described
below, the Company would have had combined sales of $701.1 million and earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of
approximately $63.1 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company's
net sales, EBITDA and net income were $179.7 million, $17.6 million and $4.7
million, respectively.
COMPANY HISTORY
The Company was formed in October 1987 to acquire substantially all of
the operating assets and business of a Miami-based aircraft service corporation
established in 1944 to service military aircraft. At the time of the
acquisition, the corporation was primarily engaged in structural airframe
maintenance and the repair and servicing of low by-pass Pratt & Whitney JT3D
engines and components operated by affiliates of its former owners, with sales
to such entities accounting for approximately 30% of its net sales. Upon
obtaining control, the Company's management established strategic goals of
expanding the number and lines of gas turbine engines serviced and increasing
the existing customer base to include more package and freight air carriers,
industrial and marine users, and military and government agencies.
In 1992, the Company moved its principal operations from an
approximately 200,000 square foot facility near the cargo center of Miami
International Airport to the almost 500,000 square foot engine service center
formerly operated by Eastern Airlines. Concurrent with entering into a favorable
thirty-year lease for the larger facility, which includes three on-site engine
test cells, the Company acquired from the Eastern Airlines estate substantially
all of the equipment and tooling necessary for the repair and maintenance of
Rolls Royce RB211-22B and General Electric ("GE") CF6-50 high by-pass aircraft
engines. This paved the way for the Company's entry into the servicing market
for these larger and more efficient
1
<PAGE>
engines, which are used to power wide-body aircraft such as the Airbus A300,
Boeing 747, Lockheed L-1011 and McDonnell-Douglas DC-10.
In November 1993, the Company raised approximately $23.7 million in
capital through its initial public offering of Common Stock and 8% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2000 (the "Debentures"). Using a portion of the
proceeds from that offering along with additional bank financing, in April 1994
the Company acquired the operating assets and business of Gas Turbine
Corporation East Granby Division (the "GTC Division") from Chromalloy Gas
Turbine Corporation ("Chromalloy"), a competitor of the Company that had the
capability to repair certain engine lines and models that the Company did not
then service, including the Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 medium by-pass aircraft
engine and GG4 industrial engine. The acquisition also provided the Company with
additional test cell capabilities for high by-pass engines, including the Pratt
& Whitney JT9D. The Company also acquired the GTC Division's well-established
power station design and installation operation. In fiscal 1994, the operations
of the GTC Division contributed sales of $28.9 million for the five and one-half
months during which it was owned by the Company, which increased in fiscal 1995
to $72.4 million, reflecting a full year of operations. The operations of the
GTC Division have been consolidated in Greenwich Air Services -Connecticut,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (hereinafter
"Greenwich-Connecticut").
RECENT EVENTS
THE AVIALL ACQUISITION
On June 10, 1996, the Company acquired the commercial gas turbine engine
service and engine components repair business (the "Aviall Business") of Aviall,
Inc. and Aviall Services, Inc. (collectively, "Aviall"), the leading independent
provider of gas turbine aircraft engine maintenance and engine components repair
services. The combination of the Company and the Aviall Business has made the
Company the largest and most diversified independent gas turbine engine repair
and overhaul company in the world.
Aviall's engine repair and overhaul operations date back to 1932, and in
1955, it became the world's first major independent gas turbine engine repair
facility. These operations were owned by Aviall since Aviall was spun-off from
Ryder System, Inc. in 1993. The Aviall Business' net sales increased to $504.8
million in calendar 1995 from $482.9 million in calendar 1993. Prior to the
Company's acquisition of the Aviall Business, Aviall had spent in excess of
$84.0 million over five years to build state-of-the-art engine repair and
overhaul facilities in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas and in Prestwick, Scotland.
However, its operating income declined significantly over this period. These
declines in profitability can be attributed to a variety of factors, including
unfavorable pricing granted to certain customers, inefficiencies in its overhaul
operations, expenses associated with reengineering its facilities, and
significant costs and penalties on specific contracts where the Aviall Business
was unable to meet contractual requirements.
The Aviall Business consisted of: (a) substantially all of the assets
and business of Aviall's commercial engine services divisions located in Dallas
and Fort Worth, Texas and the engine component repair business located in
McAllen, Texas, and (b) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Aviall Limited, a subsidiary of Aviall located in Prestwick, Scotland
(hereinafter "Greenwich Caledonian Limited"). The purchase price for the Aviall
Business, net of assumed liabilities and indebtedness and as adjusted in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement, was approximately $230.1 million. The
Company paid the entire net purchase price of the Aviall Business (the "Net
Purchase Price") in cash. The Net Purchase Price was financed with certain of
the proceeds from concurrent public offerings of $100 million of the Company's
Class B Common Stock and $160 million principal amount of 10-1/2% Senior Notes
due 2006, and a new credit facility. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources," "-- New Credit Facility," "--Senior Note Offering" and "-- Use of
Proceeds from Equity Offering and Senior Note Offering and New Credit Facility."

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
The Company believes that the principal competitive advantages resulting
from the Aviall acquisition are:
/bullet/ WORLDWIDE LEADER. The Company has become the world's largest
independent gas turbine engine repair and overhaul company with major facilities
located in the United States and in Europe. In addition, the Company believes
that its base of over 500 customers is the largest and most diversified of all
independent providers of gas turbine repair and overhaul services.
/bullet/ FULL SERVICE PROVIDER. The Company now provides repair and
overhaul services on 14 engine lines and 50 engine models, supporting the
world's five leading gas turbine engine manufacturers - CFM International, GE,
International Aero Engines, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce. The Company
believes that no other gas turbine engine overhaul operation has this breadth of
capabilities.
/bullet/ STRONG ENTREPRENEURIAL MANAGEMENT TEAM. The Company's
management team has demonstrated with the operating success of
Greenwich-Connecticut its ability to integrate substantial operations following
their acquisition. The Company believes that it will also be successful in
integrating the Aviall Business, and will continue to provide its customers with
a high level of service at competitive prices.
/bullet/ FLEXIBILITY IN PRODUCTION PLANNING. The Company has the
ability to shift work between four engine service centers in order to optimize
efficiencies and meet customers' requirements on a real-time basis.
/bullet/ CROSS-SELLING OF SERVICES. Many of the engine lines and models
serviced by the Aviall Business were not serviced by the Company prior to the
acquisition, and many of the engine lines and models serviced by the Company
were not previously serviced by the Aviall Business. The Company has commenced
to implement its strategy of "cross-selling" services to former customers of the
Company and the Aviall Business for engine lines and models previously serviced
by competitors. Prior to the acquisition of the Aviall Business, Continental
Airlines was the only major customer serviced by both the Company and the Aviall
Business.
COMPANY STRATEGY
INTEGRATION PLAN
The Company's strategy following the Aviall acquisition is to improve
the profitability of the Aviall Business, enhance services offered to the
Company's customers and to maintain the Company's historical efficiency. The
Company is currently implementing this strategy by:
/bullet/ ACHIEVING COST REDUCTIONS. Eliminating duplicative functions
performed by both the Company and the Aviall Business in the areas of
administration, finance, sales, marketing, purchasing, technical and field
services, and management information systems. In addition, the Company believes
that it will benefit by utilizing the Aviall Business' components repair
facility to perform work that the Company formerly contracted out to third
parties.
/bullet/ IMPROVING OPERATING EFFICIENCIES. The Company believes that it
is one of the most efficient providers of gas turbine engine repair and overhaul
services. The Company has implemented its program to achieve greater production
and operating efficiencies in the Aviall Business through more flexible
collective bargaining agreements entered into in 1996 and by realigning engine
repair and overhaul services among its several facilities.
/bullet/ IMPROVING CONTRACTUAL PERFORMANCE. The Company believes that
its experienced and entrepreneurial management team will enable the Aviall
Business to improve engine turnaround time and reduce related contractual
penalties through increased productivity of the Aviall Business' workforce and
improved operating and production efficiencies.

EQUITY AND SENIOR NOTE OFFERINGS
STOCK DISTRIBUTION AND EQUITY OFFERING
On May 8, 1996 the Company distributed to holders of the Company's
Class A Common Stock one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A
Common Stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock are identical, except that the Class B Common Stock has no
voting rights.
Concurrently with the Aviall acquisition, the Company consummated a
public offering (the "Equity Offering") of 4,000,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock. Of the 4,000,000 Class B shares sold in connection with the Equity
Offering, 3,400,000 Class B shares were sold by the Company, and 600,000 Class B
Shares were sold by Eugene P. Conese, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company (sometimes referred to herein as the "Selling Stockholder"). The
total proceeds to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, net of underwriting
discounts and expenses, were approximately $80.7 million and $14.3 million,
respectively. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
Class B Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder in the Equity Offering.
SENIOR NOTE OFFERING
Also concurrently with the Aviall Acquisition, the Company consummated a
public offering (the "Senior Note Offering") of $160.0 million aggregate
principal amount of its 10-1/2% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"). The total
proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts and expenses, were
approximately $154.7 million.
NEW CREDIT FACILITY
Concurrently with the Aviall acquisition and the related Equity
Offering and Senior Note Offering, the Company refinanced substantially all of
its indebtedness under its existing credit facility through a new loan and
security agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with a group of secured lenders
(the "Senior Lenders"). Under the New Credit Facility, the Senior Lenders have
provided the Company with two senior secured revolving credit facilities in the
aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, a portion of which was utilized to
finance a portion of the purchase price for the Aviall acquisition.
See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information
concerning the Equity Offering, the Senior Note Offering and the terms of the
New Credit Facility.
LONG-TERM STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
The Company's long-term strategic objectives are to improve its
profitability, maintain its position as the world's largest independent provider
of gas turbine engine repair and overhaul services, and accelerate its growth.
The Company's strategy to achieve these objectives may be summarized as follows:
/bullet/ SERVICE NEW ENGINE LINES AND MODELS. The Company will continue
its historical strategy of increasing the number of engine lines and models
serviced by its facilities and seek to develop servicing capabilities for
additional gas turbine engines. The Company believes that this strategy creates
new market opportunities while offering its customers one-stop shopping
capability, as some of the Company's customers use engines for which the Company
currently has no servicing capabilities.
/bullet/ EXPAND AERODERIVATIVE ENGINE SERVICES. Certain of the engine
lines serviced by the Company for its airline and cargo customers have
aeroderivative engine lines used in industrial, marine and military
applications. The Company has been successful in providing service to the
aeroderivative gas turbine engine market, resulting in sales growth in these
services from $10.5 million in 1992 to $31.7 million in 1996.
4
<PAGE>
/bullet/ EXPAND SERVICE TO REGIONAL CARRIERS. The Aviall Business was a
leading provider of engine repair and overhaul services for the PW-100, an
engine predominantly used by regional carriers. The Company believes that this
market has the potential for substantial growth and that the Company will be
well-positioned to capture a larger share of this market.
/bullet/ PURSUE BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. The Company has been successful
in utilizing strategic business combinations to accelerate its growth,
specifically the acquisitions of Greenwich-Connecticut and the Aviall Business.
Management will continue to analyze and attempt to consummate opportunistic
business combinations that arise, whether in the form of acquisitions, joint
ventures, or strategic alliances.
ENGINE AND COMPONENT SERVICES
GENERAL
The Company provides its gas turbine engine services primarily through
four state-of-the-art engine repair and overhaul service centers located in
Dallas, Texas; East Granby, Connecticut; Miami, Florida; and Prestwick,
Scotland. These facilities are supported by engine components repair facilities
in Miami and McAllen, Texas: an engine repair and testing facility in Fort
Worth, Texas; and an engine testing facility at JFK International Airport in New
York. The Company also warehouses spare parts in a separate facility in
Chicopee, Massachusetts. The engine repair and overhaul services provided by the
Company at these locations include (i) engine disassembly, (ii) cleaning of
parts, (iii) inspection and nondestructive testing for wear and damage,
including cracks, erosion and sizing, (iv) evaluation of necessary repairs, (v)
the repair or replacement of parts, accessories or components, (vi) reassembly
and (vii) performance testing. The Company identifies and tracks the parts from
each individual engine throughout the overhaul process in order to maintain the
integrity of the engines it services. The engine services offered by the Company
also include 24-hour emergency repairs whereby the Company will dispatch its
personnel to repair engine components or replace parts while the engine is
mounted on the aircraft.
There are three primary reasons for removing an engine from an aircraft
for servicing: (i) an engine has been utilized to the point where the life limit
for one or more of its parts has been reached and the part must be replaced,
(ii) the engine has been damaged or (iii) the aircraft instrumentation system
indicates that the engine is not performing optimally. The cost of servicing an
engine that has been removed for these or other reasons may vary from $100,000
to more than $1.5 million, depending upon the age, size and model of engine, and
the extent of the customer-authorized repairs being performed.
In addition to its gas turbine engine repair and overhaul services, the
Company also maintains engine components and accessory repair operations in
McAllen, Texas and Miami, Florida. The McAllen operation provides gas turbine
engine blade and vane repairs which require a high level of expertise, advanced
technology and sophisticated equipment. These services were primarily provided
to the engine repair and overhaul service centers of the Aviall Business in
Dallas, Texas and Prestwick, Scotland as support for the engine repair and
overhaul operations conducted at those facilities. As a result of the Aviall
acquisition, such support is now offered to all of the Company's service center
operating facilities, including those in Miami, Florida and East Granby,
Connecticut. The accessory refurbishment services offered by the Company also
include the repair, refurbishment and overhaul of numerous accessories and
components mounted on gas turbine engines, aircraft wings and frames or
fuselages. Engine accessories include fuel pumps, generators and fuel controls.
Components include pneumatic valves, starters and actuators, turbo compressors
and constant speed drives, hydraulic pumps, valves and actuators,
electro-mechanical equipment and auxiliary power unit accessories.
COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE SERVICES
The commercial aircraft industry continues to represent the Company's
largest market for gas turbine engine services, growing from approximately $66.5
million, or 63% of the Company's total net sales in fiscal 1994 to $323.6
million, or 81% of total net sales in fiscal 1996.
5
<PAGE>
Since the early 1990's, several regional and mid-sized air carriers have
begun operations, all of which outsource their engine service requirements.
During this period, a number of major carriers, as well as many freight and
package carriers, began actively outsourcing their engine service work to
independent repair facilities such as the Company. Market and customer
requirements have prompted the leading engine manufacturers to de-emphasize or
discontinue production of the older, less fuel-efficient engine lines, such as
the low by-pass Pratt & Whitney JT3D and JT8D, and focus on the production of
high by-pass engines such as the GE CF6 series, Rolls Royce RB211 series, CFM
International CFM56 series and International Aero Engines V2500 engines.
However, many airlines are strategically operating both older and newer engines
in an effort to maximize asset utilization. As a result, the Company believes
that, in addition to increasing demand for high by-pass engine services, there
will be a continued opportunity to service low by-pass engines.
While manufacturers introduce new engine lines infrequently, they
routinely offer derivative models of existing engines. The Company continually
evaluates new engine lines, models and derivatives to determine whether the
potential demand for overhaul services justifies the expenditures required for
inventory and modifications to tooling and equipment.
The Company also maintains a limited inventory of aircraft engines for
short-term rental to its overhaul customers. Such rental engines are generally
rented to customers for the period during which the customers' engines are
undergoing service by the Company's repair and overhaul operations.
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS
The Company provides engine, aircraft and accessory repair and overhaul
services to the United States military and other domestic and foreign government
agencies, as well as material distribution and logistics management services.
The Company provides these services directly as a prime contractor and as a
subcontractor to other major defense contractors. Net sales to military and
other government agencies has grown from approximately $21.1 million, or 20% of
total net sales in fiscal 1994 to $42.5 million, or 11% of total net sales in
fiscal 1996.
During fiscal 1996, the Company strengthened its presence in the foreign
military market with contracts from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Royal
Moroccan Air Force, and Colombian Air Force. The Company has also received
additional orders from the U.S. Navy for the refurbishment of aeroderivative
marine engines. Furthermore, significant follow-on contracts were awarded to the
Company by Northrop Grumman Aerospace to repair engines for the U.S. Army/Air
Force Joint STARS program. The Company anticipates that total revenues from
these multi-year contracts will exceed $20 million.
AERODERIVATIVE ENGINE SERVICES
Industrial and marine gas turbine engines are used for an increasing
variety of applications, including driving pumps and compressors for oil and gas
pipelines, generating electric power for electric utilities, cogeneration
projects and industrial applications, and powering commercial and naval vessels.
In addition to repair and overhaul services, the Company provides worldwide
management services for the design, sale, refurbishment, and installation of
complete gas turbine power plants with electrical power output of up to 120
megawatts. The services provided include the repair and overhaul of industrial
and marine engines, free turbines and modules, as well as the installation of
the equipment, start up, training, and on-site testing. Depending on customer
needs, the Company offers complete turnkey operations or equipment only. In
addition, the Company offers total turbine on-site services worldwide. Net sales
from aeroderivative engine services has grown from approximately $17.5 million,
or 17% of the Company's total net sales in fiscal 1994 to $31.7 million, or 8%
of total net sales in fiscal 1996.

<PAGE>
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company's marketing organization is comprised of three marketing and
technical groups: (i) commercial aircraft engine services, (ii) government
programs, and (iii) aeroderivative engine services. Members of the Company's
senior management are responsible for the coordination and overall performance
of each of these groups. Direct sales personnel include key employees with
contacts in their respective industries. In addition, the Company advertises in
trade, technical and industrial journals and maintains close working
relationships with engine and aircraft manufacturers, as well as with industrial
and marine engine users.
The Company believes that the critical factors for customers in
selecting an engine repair and overhaul vendor are dependable performance
through prompt turnaround time and engine reliability, proactive engineering
support, responsiveness, price, and flexibility. The Company's gas turbine
engine repair and overhaul operation attempts to differentiate itself from the
competition through flexibility and customer responsiveness. This includes
meeting delivery commitments, providing around-the-clock service, customizing
work scopes to the specific requirements of each engine overhauled and offering
state-of-the-art technical facilities and expertise, including the development
of new repairs. In marketing its services, the Company emphasizes its experience
in the repair, maintenance, refurbishment and overhaul of aircraft gas turbine
engines of various sizes and thrust capacities and aeroderivative gas turbine
engines. The Company also emphasizes its domestic and international service
capabilities; its turnaround time performance; quality of work performed;
extensive technical libraries; staff of more than 60 engineers; employee
training programs; and competitive pricing structures.
The Company generally provides services for regular customers under
service agreements providing for payments based upon any one of the following
arrangements:
/bullet/ A time and materials formula normally predicated upon a
negotiated hourly labor rate multiplied by the actual
hours expended plus a charge for materials used and other
subcontracted vendor services;
/bullet/ Fixed price arrangements for components, modules and
accessories, as well as total engine overhauls based on
specific work scopes; and
/bullet/ For customers who wish to enter into long-term
arrangements for scheduled engine overhauls with
predefined and scheduled payment terms, the Company
offers "rate-per-hour" ("RPH") agreements. An RPH
agreement requires the customer to pay for engine
services over the life of the agreement based on an
hourly rate multiplied by the greater of actual flight
hours or a minimum number of monthly flight hours
established in advance.
CUSTOMERS
The Company provides services to more than 500 customers, primarily in
the commercial aviation industry, the natural resources and electrical utility
industries and government and military agencies. On a pro forma basis (assuming
the Aviall acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 1995), in fiscal 1996,
Continental Airlines would have accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's
total net sales, the top five customers of the Company would have accounted for
approximately 42% of the Company's net sales, and sales to foreign customers
would have accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's net sales.
On September 23, 1996, the Company announced that USAir, one of its
five largest customers, had elected not to renew its 5-year agreement for
CFM56-3 engine services. The loss of this contract was anticipated by the
Company prior to the Aviall acquisition and was therefore not factored into
management's plans. The Company's contracts with Southwest Airlines, another of
its five largest customers, for CFM56 and Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine services
expire in March 1997. Southwest Airlines is currently accepting bids from the
Company and its competitors for new long-term commercial engine service
agreements. Although the Aviall Business performed these services for Southwest
Airlines since the late 1970s, no assurance can be given that the Southwest
Airlines agreements and/or other agreements with major customers scheduled to
7
<PAGE>
expire will be renewed with the Company upon commercially reasonable terms or at
all. Since the end of fiscal 1995, the Company has signed long-term agreements
with Air Hong Kong, Federal Express, LOT Polish Airlines, and Northrop
Grumman Aerospace.
COMPETITION
The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in its
industry are engineering support, quality, turnaround time, overall customer
service, and price. The Company believes that it competes favorably on the basis
of the foregoing factors. Additionally, the Company believes that the large
number of engine lines and models it services provide it with a competitive
advantage. The Company does not believe that the location of its facilities is a
significant factor to its customers in selecting the Company, because
substantially all of the engines serviced by the Company are transported by
common carrier to the Company's facilities for service.
The Company believes that the most significant competitive pressures in
the foreseeable future will come from GE, Pratt & Whitney, and other major OEMs,
who maintain gas turbine engine service centers which provide repair and
overhaul services for the aircraft and aeroderivative gas turbine engines they
manufacture. Certain of these OEMs are also actively seeking to provide engine
services on new and used gas turbine engines manufactured by rival OEMs. In
addition to OEMs, competition for engine repair and overhaul business comes from
passenger airlines, many of which own and operate engine and aircraft
maintenance service centers. Although these repair operations are primarily for
their own equipment, certain airlines also provide engine repair and overhaul
services for third parties. Other independent engine service organizations also
compete for the repair and overhaul of gas turbine engines.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and the British Civil
Aviation Administration ("BCAA") regulate providers of services on aircraft
engines and frames. As the holder of FAA Class 3 power plant repair station
certificates for its facilities in Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; and East
Granby, Connecticut, the Company is authorized to service all lines and models
of gas turbine aircraft engines. These certificates provide the Company with the
competitive advantage of not being required to obtain separate FAA certification
for each line of gas turbine aircraft engine it elects to service. The Company
also has separate FAA airframe and accessory class ratings. The Company's FAA
certificates cover all of the Company's operating facilities in the United
States. Greenwich Caledonian Limited holds a certification from the BCAA. Aside
from its FAA and BCAA certifications, the Company does not hold any material
patents, trademarks or licenses.
MANUFACTURER'S AUTHORIZATIONS
The Company has contractual relationships with OEMs that provide access
to OEM resources such as engineering data and support and test cell calibration.
These agreements outline the training and support services which the
manufacturer will furnish to the Company. Such contractual relationships take
the form of general terms agreements or more formal approval and authorization
agreements and licensing authorizations to perform proprietary repairs.
The Company's licensing authorization from GE to perform proprietary
repairs at the McAllen, Texas component repair facility, and general terms
agreements for OEM support services at the Dallas and Prestwick facilities will
expire in February, 1997. GE has traditionally renewed these agreements with the
Company's predecessor, Aviall, and the Company knows of no reason for GE to vary
from this practice. Although the Company's management believes that its
relations with GE and other OEMs are good, no assurance can be given that these
or other agreements will be renewed upon commercially reasonable terms or at
all.
BACKLOG
The Company is engaged in a service business and charges many of its
customers on a time and materials basis or on an hourly basis. The Company
cannot determine, when customer orders are received, the extent of services and

price for a repair, refurbishment or overhaul of a particular engine, and
generally determines the final price during the process of servicing such
engine. Accordingly, the Company does not have a backlog of orders which can be
reported.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 13, 1996, the Company had approximately 3,300 full-time
employees.
The Company's employees located in Miami, Florida; East Granby,
Connecticut; McAllen, Texas; and Prestwick, Scotland are not represented by any
labor union. The Company believes that its relations with employees at these
locations are good.
Prior to the Aviall Acquisition, none of the Company's employees were
covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Aviall Business had
approximately 570 hourly employees in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, who were
covered by collective bargaining agreements. Upon consummation of the Aviall
Acquisition, the Company hired substantially all of such employees to work for
the Company in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, but, according to the terms of the
Purchase Agreement with Aviall, was not required to, and did not, assume the
existing collective bargaining agreements. In June 1996, the Company entered
into four-year collective bargaining agreements with the unions covering the
Dallas and Fort Worth hourly employees. The Company believes that its relations
with such employees and their collective bargaining representatives are good.
In order to respond to changes in technology and new types of engines,
accessories and components, the Company conducts both formal classroom and
on-the-job training programs. The training programs include instruction on gas
turbine engines, components and airframes. Customers and vendors often utilize
the Company's training department to assist them in training both their
experienced personnel and apprentices on newly assigned equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company's operations are subject to extensive, and frequently
changing, federal, state and local environmental laws and substantial related
regulation by government agencies, including the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") and the United States Occupational Safety and Health
Administration ("OSHA"). Among other matters, these regulatory authorities
impose requirements that regulate the operation, handling, transportation and
disposal of hazardous materials, the health and safety of workers and require
the Company to obtain and maintain licenses and permits in connection with its
operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance
burdens and risks on the Company. Notwithstanding these burdens, the Company
believes that it is in material compliance with all federal, state and local
laws and regulations governing its operations.
The Company is principally subject to the requirements of the Clean Air
Act of 1970 ("CAA"), as amended in 1990; the Clean Water Act of 1977 ("CWA");
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
("CERCLA"); the Resource Conservation Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"); and the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 ("HSWA"). The following is a
summary of the material regulations that are applicable to the Company.
The CAA imposes significant requirements upon owners and operators of
facilities that discharge air pollutants into the environment. The CAA mandates
that facilities which emit air pollutants comply with certain operational
criteria and secure appropriate permits. Additionally, authorized states such as
Florida, Connecticut, Texas and New York may implement various aspects of the
CAA and develop their own regulations for air pollution control. The Miami
facility presently holds an air emission permit for its engine test cells issued
by Dade County, Florida. The Company has conducted an air emissions inventory of
the Miami facility and is currently assessing the results to determine if it is
necessary to secure additional permits and/or to install additional control
technology, which could result in the initiation of an enforcement action, the
imposition of penalties and the possibility of substantial capital expenditures.
9
<PAGE>
CERCLA, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986 ("SARA"), is designed to respond to the release of hazardous substances.
CERCLA's most notable objectives are to provide criteria and funding for the
cleanup of sites contaminated by hazardous substances and impose strict
liability on parties responsible for such contamination namely, owners and
operators of facilities or vessels from which such releases or threatened
releases occur, and persons who generated, transported or arranged for the
transportation of hazardous substances to a facility from which such release or
threatened release occurs.
Ground water contamination was documented at the Miami facility and
surrounding areas prior to the Company's occupation. Ground water contamination
is also suspected at the western portion of the Miami International Airport
(where the Company formerly conducted operations) and adjoining areas.
Remediation of the impacted ground water by Dade County is currently underway.
Under the terms of its lease of the Miami facility, Dade County has agreed to
indemnify the Company for all remediation and cleanup costs associated with
pre-existing contamination, unless such contamination occurred as a result of
the Company's operations. If Dade County were to default in its indemnification
obligations, the Company could potentially incur liability under CERCLA and/or
Florida law for hazardous substances released at or from the Miami facility and
for conditions in existence prior to the Company's occupancy. To date, the
Company has not been held liable for any investigation or cleanup costs at
either of these sites.
Ground water and soil contamination was also detected at the New York
facility prior to the Company's occupancy. The sources of contamination were not
positively identified and may be related to past facility operations or
originating from off-site. The site leases with the Port Authority of New York
("PANY") provide that the Company will be fully indemnified for pre-existing
conditions and for any off-site contamination migrating onto the leasehold,
except if related to underground storage tanks ("USTs"). The Company will be
responsible for any increase in contamination above the levels established as
pre-existing conditions. If PANY defaults in its indemnification obligations,
the Company could incur liability under CERCLA and/or New York law for the
remediation of the contamination. To date, the Company has not been held liable
for any investigation or cleanup costs at this site.
On April 19, 1996, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
("TNRCC") issued a letter to Aviall requiring the submittal of a plan and
associated schedule for the characterization, assessment and potential
remediation of documented levels of trichlorethylene in the ground water at the
Dallas facility. Groundwater contamination has also been documented at the
McAllen facility. Aviall intends to submit its plan and schedule in a timely
manner. Depending upon the results of the characterization and assessment,
remediation of the ground water may be required. Under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, Aviall agreed to indemnify the Company for all remediation and
cleanup costs associated with pre-existing conditions at the Texas facilities
prior to the consummation of the Aviall Acquisition. If remediation of the
ground water is required and if Aviall defaults on its indemnification
obligations, then the Company could incur costs associated with such
remediation. To date, the Company has not been held liable for any investigation
or cleanup costs at these sites.
RCRA established the basic framework for regulation of hazardous waste.
RCRA governs the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of
hazardous waste through a comprehensive system of hazardous waste management
techniques and requirements. RCRA requires facilities such as the Company's that
treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste to comply with specified operating
standards. The Company believes that its facilities are in material compliance
with all applicable RCRA requirements, hold all applicable permits required
under RCRA and are operating in material compliance with the terms of all such
permits.
Many states, including Florida, have created programs similar to RCRA
for the purpose of issuing annual operating permits and conducting routine
inspections of such facilities to ensure regulatory compliance. A routine
inspection of the Miami facility in October 1995 by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection ("FDEP") identified potential hazardous waste
violations, primarily concerning the proper identification and storage of
hazardous waste. The Company has subsequently addressed each of the items
identified in the FDEP inspection, and is negotiating a settlement with FDEP.
The associated penalties are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
10
<PAGE>
As part of the HSWA, Congress enacted federal regulations governing the
underground storage of petroleum products and hazardous substances. The federal
UST regulatory scheme mandates that EPA establish requirements for leak
detection, construction standards, reporting of releases, corrective actions,
on-site practices and record-keeping, closure standards and financial
responsibility. Some states, including Florida, have promulgated their own
performance criteria for USTs, including requirements for spill and overfill
protection, UST location, and primary and secondary containment. The Company
believes that its facilities are in material compliance with the federal and
state UST regulatory requirements and performance criteria.
All USTs located at the Miami facility have been tightness-tested and
are properly permitted and registered. By December 1998, these USTs are required
under Florida law to be retrofitted with secondary containment and leak
detection devices. To date, Dade County, which regulates the tanks on a local
level, has not directed that the tanks be retrofitted nor has it assessed any
penalties for operation without secondary containment or leak detection devices.
Under the terms of the lease of the Miami facility, Dade County agreed to
indemnify the Company for liabilities due to pre-existing conditions, which
would include the USTs. If Dade County does not provide this indemnification
under the lease, the Company could be subject to an enforcement action and
penalties for failure to replace or upgrade the tanks and could incur additional
costs in replacing or upgrading the tanks.
All USTs at the New York facility were transferred to the Company at the
time of sale, and the Company assumed all associated risks. During recent audits
conducted at the New York facility, several additional USTs were identified; the
status and permitting requirements for these tanks and potential discharges are
currently being assessed. Although unknown at this point, the Company could be
subject to an enforcement action and penalties, as well as be required to make
capital expenditures, to replace or upgrade these tanks in the future. In regard
to these USTs, Chromalloy, the Company's predecessor in interest, would be
responsible for conditions in existence prior to March 21, 1994. If Chromalloy
were to default on its obligations, then the Company could incur liability for
pre-existing conditions related to these USTs.
Ground water and soil contamination from spills and leaking USTs was
also documented at the Company's Texas and Prestwick, Scotland facilities.
Remediation of the impacted ground water and soil at the Texas facilities has
been undertaken by Aviall, which intends to seek closure from the TNRCC. Based
upon the Company's environmental assessment activities at its Prestwick
facility, the Company has initiated additional assessment work and remediation
of the contaminated soil and ground water. Under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, Aviall agreed to remediate the contamination and has agreed to
indemnify the Company for all remediation and cleanup costs associated with
pre-existing conditions at the facility prior to the acquisition. If Aviall were
to default on its indemnification obligations, then the Company could incur
liability for petroleum product releases at or from the Texas and Prestwick,
Scotland facilities or from conditions in existence prior to the Company's
occupancy of these facilities.
The Company is also subject to a variety of environmental-related worker
and community safety laws. OSHA mandates general requirements for a safe
workplace for all employees. In particular, OSHA provides special procedures and
measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. In
addition, specific safety standards have been promulgated for workplaces engaged
in the treatment, disposal or storage of hazardous waste. Requirements under
state law, in some circumstances, may mandate additional measures for facilities
handling materials specified as extremely dangerous. The Company believes that
its operations are in material compliance with OSHA's health and safety
requirements, and anticipates upgrading its facilities at a cumulative cost that
may exceed $100,000; however, the Company believes that such expenditures will
not materially affect the Company's financial conditions or operating results.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company currently occupies several facilities in the United States,
including administrative and sales offices, parts warehouses, and
operations/repair facilities. The Company maintains its headquarters in Miami,
Florida, and primarily operates out of four commercial engine overhaul
facilities located in Miami; East Granby, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; and
Prestwick, Scotland, which are supported by engine components repair facilities
in Miami and McAllen, Texas; an engine

DIVIDEND POLICY
CASH DIVIDENDS
Prior to fiscal 1996, the Company did not pay any dividends. On
December 18, 1995, Greenwich's Board of Directors established a policy of paying
an annual dividend. Subject to the financial covenants contained in the New
Credit Facility and the Indenture under which the Notes were issued, the
Company's policy is to retain at least 90% of the Company's free net cash flow
to finance the Company's growth, if any. The Company also intends to increase
such annual dividend by 15% per annum in cash or stock, provided that the amount
of income available to pay the cash portion of any such dividend will not exceed
10% of the Company's free cash flow.
In January 1996, the Company paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock of
$.01 per share. In November 1996, the Company declared a $.012 per share cash
dividend on its Class A and Class B Common Stock, which cash dividend was an
increase of 20% over the dividend paid in January 1996 in accordance with the
Company's intent to increase its annual dividend by 15%.
In the future, the payment of cash dividends by the Company on its
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will depend on its financial
condition, results of operations and such other factors as the Board of
Directors of the Company may consider relevant, and no assurance can be given
that the Company will pay any dividends in the future or that the amount of such
dividends will not be reduced from prior periods. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
STOCK DIVIDEND
On March 11, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the
redesignation of the Company's existing Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and
the authorization of the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Class B
(non-voting) Common Stock. On April 26, 1996, Greenwich declared a dividend of
one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock
outstanding. On May 8, 1996, 6,322,147 shares of Class B Common Stock were
issued as payment of this dividend. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled
to receive dividends share for share with the holders of shares of Class B
Common Stock, and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends share for share with the holders of Class A Common Stock when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally
available therefor (subject to the prior rights of the Company's preferred
stock, if any).

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
As a result of the Aviall acquisition, the Company is now the largest
and most diversified independent gas turbine engine repair and overhaul company
in the world. Under current management's direction, internal growth and
strategic acquisitions have increased the Company's net sales from $62.0 million
in 1992 to $397.9 million in 1996. Similarly, net income has increased from $2.5
million in 1992 to $11.8 million in 1996.
The 1994 acquisition of Greenwich-Connecticut assets and the 1996
acquisition of the Aviall Business have diversified further the Company's
servicing capabilities, adding the Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200, PW-100 and GG4, the
CFM International CFM56 series, the GE CF6-80, and the International Aero Engine
V2500 engine lines to the Company's service lines. Furthermore, these
acquisitions have increased market share and provided access to previously
unavailable markets.
Income from operations as a percentage of sales has declined from 12.5%
in fiscal 1993 to 8.0% in fiscal 1996. This decline primarily resulted from the
acquisitions of the Greenwich-Connecticut and Aviall Business assets, both of
which had significantly lower operating margins than the Company at the time of
such acquisitions. Also impacting operating margins were competitive pricing
pressures within the Company's markets and a greater proportion of revenues
generated under long-term contracts. These long-term contracts historically
carry lower margins but provide more predictable and steady streams of revenue.
No assurance can be given however, that any or all of these agreements will be
renewed or extended on terms which are commercially favorable to the Company. In
such connection, the renewal of a significant long-term agreement with USAir,
which expired in October 1996, was awarded to GE, and another long-term
agreement with Southwest Airlines expiring in March 1997 is currently under
competitive bid.
The integration of these operations has generated, and is expected to
continue generating, cost savings from productivity improvements and the
elimination of duplicative overhead expenses. Management believes that these
factors, coupled with the Company's entrepreneurial approach and commitment to
remain a high-quality, efficient provider of gas turbine engine services, will
enable the Company to maintain its position as a successful competitor in the
global marketplace.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 1996 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1995
Net sales for fiscal year 1996 increased 102.7% to $397.9 million, from
$196.3 million for fiscal year 1995. This increase is attributable primarily to
the operations of the former Aviall Business, which generated net sales of
approximately $162.2 million since their acquisition on June 10, 1996. In
addition, revenues from the Company's pre-acquisition operations increased by
approximately $39.4 million, or 20% when compared to fiscal 1995.
Gross profit for fiscal 1996 increased 75.2% to $55.0 million, or 13.8%
of net sales, from $31.4 million or 16.0% of net sales, for fiscal 1995. This
increase in gross profit was primarily due to the higher sales volume in fiscal
1996. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily the
result of work performed under long-term contracts assumed from Aviall that have
not been generating margins as high as the Company's pre-acquisition operations.
The Company is continuing the implementation of its integration plan, which is
engineered to coordinate production efforts, reduce turnaround times, and
minimize duplication of support functions in purchasing, technical and field
services, and management information systems.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1996 increased
68.9% to $23.0 million, or 5.8% of net sales, from $13.6 million, or 6.9% of net
sales for fiscal 1995. The increase was primarily due to the addition of
marketing and administrative expenses in support of the increased business
activity that has resulted from the acquisition of the Aviall Business, as well
as the 20% increase in revenues generated by the Company's pre-acquisition
operations.
16
<PAGE>
Interest expense for fiscal 1996 increased 59.2% to $12.7 million, or
3.2% of net sales, from $8.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales, for fiscal 1995,
primarily due to approximately $5.0 million of interest accrued through
September 30 from the sale of $160 million of 10.5% senior notes on June 5,
1996.
As a result of the above factors, net income for fiscal year 1996
increased 90.2% to $11.8 million, or $.83 per share on 14.3 million average
shares of Common Stock outstanding (fully diluted) compared to $6.2 million or
$.54 per share on 12.8 million average shares of Common Stock outstanding (fully
diluted) for fiscal year 1995.
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1994
Net sales for fiscal 1995 increased 86.6% to $196.3 million, from
$105.2 million for fiscal 1994. This increase resulted from strong sales gains
in all four of the Company's marketing and technical units and the Company's
ability to capitalize on the trend toward outsourcing in the commercial aviation
and military markets. Additionally, fiscal 1995 marked the Company's first full
year of sales produced by Greenwich-Connecticut, with Greenwich-Connecticut
sales of $72.4 million in fiscal 1995, as compared to sales of $28.9 million for
only five and one-half months of fiscal 1994.
Gross profit for fiscal 1995 increased 81.7% to $31.4 million, or 16.0%
of net sales, from $17.3 million or 16.4% of net sales, for fiscal 1994. This
increase in gross profit is primarily due to the Company's increased net sales
during the period. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily due
to the timing of the integration of the operations of Greenwich-Connecticut and
a shift in product mix to a greater proportion of low and medium by-pass
engines.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1995 increased
94.7% to $13.6 million, or 7.0% of net sales, from $7.0 million, or 6.6% of net
sales for fiscal 1994. The increase was primarily due to the addition of
marketing and administrative expenses from increased business activity, a full
year of Greenwich-Connecticut operations, the write-off of uncollectible
accounts and the higher incentive bonus expense related to the Company's
financial performance.
Interest expense for fiscal 1995 increased 67.1% to $8.0 million, or
4.0% of net sales, from $4.8 million, or 4.5% of net sales, for fiscal 1994,
primarily due to an increase in the Company's average borrowings during the
period as a result of increased business activity and the acquisition of
Greenwich-Connecticut.
As a result of the above factors, net income increased 85.3% to $6.2
million, or 3.2% of net sales, for fiscal 1995, from $3.3 million, or 3.2% of
net sales, for fiscal 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since the consummation of the Aviall Acquisition, the Equity and Senior
Note Offerings and the New Credit Facility, the Company's primary sources of
liquidity have been cash flow from operations and borrowings under the New
Credit Facility. In addition, other sources of liquidity have been advance
payments for power station installations and other customer progress payments.
Since the Aviall acquisition, and through November 30, 1996, the Company had
borrowed aproximately $53.7 million additional under the New Credit Facility in
order to restock former Aviall Business inventories to an adequate level,
purchase additional inventory and aircraft engines required to service certain
customers under new and existing contracts, and to fund expenditures related to
the integration of the former Aviall Business with the Company's operations. The
Company will be required to borrow additional amounts under the New Credit
Facility in the near future in order to fund current asset increases in support
of business growth, reduce accounts payable, fund further integration expenses,
and satisfy interest payment obligations under the Senior Notes.
The Company's liquidity has been affected by the substantial
indebtedness the Company has incurred in connection with the financing of the
Aviall acquisition, which has substantially increased the Company's cash
requirements for debt service and has imposed various operating restrictions.
The New Credit Facility and the Indenture under which the Notes were offered
contain certain restrictions that, among other things, limit the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends and make
other restricted payments, make certain investments, transact with affiliates,
and consolidate, merge or transfer assets. See "New Credit Facility", below.

<PAGE>
The Company's aggregate capital expenditures for fiscal 1994, 1995 and
1996 were $1.7 million, $2.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Prior to
the Company's acquisition of the Aviall Business, Aviall had spent in excess of
$84.0 million over five years to build state-of-the-art engine repair and
overhaul facilities in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas and in Prestwick, Scotland.
Management anticipates that the total capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 will
be approximately $6.0 million, which will be used to fund the purchase of
production tooling and data processing equipment. Management plans to fund these
capital expenditures from cash flow from operations and, if necessary,
borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Company's cash used
by operations was $8.2 million; cash used for investing activities was $234.0
million; and cash generated by financing activities was $242.4 million.
Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations and plans for
integrating the Aviall Business, the Company believes that its cash flow from
operations, combined with borrowings available under the New Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its current and anticipated
cash operating requirements, including scheduled interest and principal
payments, integration expenses, capital expenditures and working capital needs.
The Company's (i) income from operations (excluding non-recurring charges) for
the twelve months ended September 30, 1995 and the twelve months ended September
30, 1996 totaled $17.7 million and $31.9 million, respectively and (ii) working
capital as of September 30, 1996 was $273.6 million.
The Company believes that the integration of the operations of the
Company and the Aviall Business following the Aviall Acquisition has resulted in
opportunities to improve cash flows by capitalizing on the cost savings
resulting from the elimination of duplicative functions in the areas of
administration, sales, marketing, purchasing, technical and field services and
management information systems. However, the Company has incurred expenditures
of approximately $2.0 million as of November 30, 1996 related to the integration
of the operations of the Company and the Aviall Business and expects to incur
additional expenditures in the future of approximately $6.5 million related to
such integration, which is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 1997.
Such non-recurring expenditures include amounts related to integration of
management information systems and other costs of consolidation. These
non-recurring expenditures have been funded with cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
SUMMARY OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
NEW CREDIT FACILITY
Concurrently with the consummation of the Aviall acquisition and the
related Equity Offering and Senior Note Offering, the Company refinanced
substantially all of its indebtedness under its existing credit facility through
a new loan and security agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with a group of
secured lenders (collectively, the "Senior Lenders"). Under the New Credit
Facility, which expires in June 2001, the Senior Lenders have provided the
Company with two senior secured revolving credit facilities in the aggregate
amount of up to $175.0 million secured by the Company's accounts receivable,
inventories and contract rights. Advances under the New Credit Facility are
based upon percentages of outstanding eligible accounts receivable, and
inventories. Concurrently with the refinancing under the New Credit Facility, an
aggregate of approximately $67.7 million was borrowed primarily to pay down
existing revolver debt, finance a portion of the purchase price for the Aviall
acquisition, and secure outstanding letters of credit. The New Credit Facility
requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants (relating to
minimum ratios of cash flow to fixed charges, minimum ratio of funded debt to
cash flow and minimum tangible net worth) and other covenants, including
limitations on additional debt (in excess of the Notes, Debentures and other
outstanding debt), dividends and changes in control.
Under the New Credit Facility, the Company may elect to borrow at
either (i) the lender's prime rate, plus 0.875% (subject to reduction to 0.5% or
increase to 1.125% based upon the Company's achieving or failing to achieve
certain financial goals), or (ii) the LIBOR rate (adjustable every three months)
plus 2.375%. As at November 30, 1996, the lender's prime rate was 8.25% and the
two-month LIBOR rate was 5.50%, and the Company's available line of credit under
the New Credit Facility was approximately $71.9 million.

TERM DEBT
TERM LOAN. In November 1992, the Company entered into a loan and
security agreement with a commercial lender for a five-year, $9.0 million term
loan expiring in November 1997 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan is secured by
certain of the Company's equipment and tooling which, as of September 30,1996,
had a net book value of approximately $10.9 million. This loan bears interest at
8.75% per annum, payable in 59 monthly installments (including principal and
interest) of $143,205 each, and a final payment of approximately $3.3 million
due on November 1, 1997. As of November 30, 1996, the balance of the Term Loan
was $4.6 million.
CONNECTICUT TERM LOAN. On May 26, 1994, the Company and
Greenwich-Connecticut entered into a separate loan and security agreement with a
lender for a five-year, $8.0 million term loan expiring in May 1999 (the
"Connecticut Term Loan"). The Connecticut Term Loan is secured by substantially
all of Greenwich-Connecticut's fixed assets (excluding real estate) which, as of
September 30, 1996, had a net book value of approximately $16.1 million. This
loan bears interest at a rate of 8.99% per annum, payable monthly in arrears.
Principal repayments under this agreement are to be made in 24 consecutive
monthly installments of $166,667 each and an additional 36 consecutive monthly
installments of $111,111 each, with all such payments ending in May 1999. As of
November 30, 1996, the balance of the Connecticut Term Loan was $3.3 million.
LOAN PAYABLE TO WAL. In November 1992, the Company entered into a loan
and security agreement with WAL for a five-year, $3.0 million term loan expiring
in November 1997 (the "WAL Loan"). The WAL Loan is co-secured by the same
equipment and tooling as the Term Loan, and bears interest at 10.25% per annum,
payable in 59 monthly installments (including principal and interest) of $50,519
each, and a final payment of approximately $1.1 million due on November 1, 1997.
On April 1, 1994, subject to the terms and conditions of the Connecticut Term
Loan, WAL agreed to grant a priority lien position to the lender under the
Connecticut Term Loan on the Company's tooling and equipment. In return, WAL was
granted a priority lien position on specific tooling and a first mortgage on
certain real property that the Company owns in East Granby, Connecticut. As of
November 30, 1996, the balance of the WAL loan was $1.5 million.
SENIOR NOTE OFFERING
Concurrently with the consummation of the Aviall acquisition, the
Company consummated a public offering (the "Senior Note Offering") of $160.0
million aggregate principal amount of its 10-1/2% Senior Notes due 2006 (the
"Notes"). The total proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts and
expenses, were approximately $154.7 million.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, rank PARI
PASSU with all unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness of the Company, and rank
senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness
of the Company. The Notes are not redeemable prior to June 1, 2001; however, at
any time on or after June 1, 2001, the Notes are redeemable at the Option of the
Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice,
at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to:
(a) 105.25%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2001; (b)
103.50%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2002; (c)
101.75%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2003; and (d)
100%, if redeemed thereafter, beginning June 1, 2004. The Notes are also
guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by each of the Company's domestic
subsidiaries and are secured on a PARI PASSU basis with the indebtedness under
the Company's senior credit facility by a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of
Greenwich Caledonian Limited (formerly, Aviall Limited), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
The Indenture for the Notes, dated as of June 1, 1996, between the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
as Trustee, contains limitations on, among other things, (a) the incurrence of
additional Company indebtedness, (b) the incurrence of indebtedness or the
issuance of preferred stock by Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined), (c) the
payment of dividends and other distributions with respect to capital stock of
the Company and the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock of the
Company, (d) the making of certain Investments (as defined), (e) the incurrence
of certain Liens (as defined), (f) the issuance and sale of capital stock of,
and certain payments by, Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined), (g) transactions
with Affiliates (as defined), (h) the designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, and (I) consolidations, mergers and transfers of assets.

EQUITY OFFERING
Concurrently with the consummation of the Aviall acquisition, the
Company consummated a public offering (the "Equity Offering") of 4,000,000
shares of Class B Common Stock. Of the 4,000,000 Class B shares sold in
connection with the Equity Offering, 3,400,000 Class B shares were sold by the
Company, and 600,000 Class B Shares were sold by Eugene P. Conese, the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (sometimes referred to herein as the
"Selling Stockholder"). The total proceeds to the Company and the Selling
Stockholder, net of underwriting discounts and expenses, were approximately
$80.7 million and $14.3 million, respectively. The Company did not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale of Class B Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder
in the Equity Offering.
SUBORDINATED DEBT
8% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES. In November and December 1993,
the Company issued $16,999,000 principal amount of the Debentures. On October 2,
1996, the Company announced that it intended to redeem all of the outstanding
Debentures on November 25, 1996, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount plus any unpaid interest accrued to November 25, 1996. Prior to
the redemption, all $2.5 million of the then outstanding debentures were
converted by the holders thereof, at a conversion price of $5.85 per share, into
approximately 428,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.
STOCK DIVIDEND
On May 8, 1996 the Company distributed to holders of the Company's
Class A Common Stock one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A
Common Stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock are identical, except that their Class B Common Stock has
no voting rights.
USE OF PROCEEDS FROM EQUITY OFFERING AND SENIOR NOTE OFFERING AND NEW
CREDIT FACILITY
The net proceeds to the Company from the Equity and Senior Note
Offerings and the Initial Drawdown, after deducting underwriting discounts and
other expenses, totaled approximately $299.9 million. Approximately $230.1
million was utilized to pay the purchase price for the Aviall Business, and
approximately $55.3 million was utilized to repay outstanding advances under the
Company's existing credit facilities. In addition, approximately $5.6 million
was used to pay expenses relating to the Aviall acquisition, the Equity and
Senior Note Offerings and the New Credit Facility. Such expenses did not,
however, include expenses relating to the integration of the operations of the
Company and the Aviall Business, which are estimated to be approximately $8.5
million.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
(SFAS N. 121), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123).
SFAS No. 123 does not rescind or interpret existing accounting rules for
employee stock-based arrangements. Under SFAS No. 123, the Company may continue
to follow existing rules to recognize and measure compensation, but they will
now be required to disclose the pro forma amounts of net income and earnings per
share that would have to be reported had the Company elected to follow the "fair
value" recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 will apply to the
Company beginning with the year ended September 30, 1997. The Company has not
determined whether it will elect to recognize and measure compensation expense
under SFAS No. 123 and has not yet determined its effect, if any, on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Greenwich Air Services, Inc:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenwich Air
Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 1995 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30,
1996. 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 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. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30,
1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended September 30, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

GREENWICH AIR SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
ORGANIZATION - Greenwich Air Services, Inc. ("GASI") and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") overhauls, repairs and refurbishes gas turbine
aircraft engines and services aeroderivative gas turbine engines used in a
variety of industrial and marine applications including driving pumps and
compressors on oil and gas pipelines, generating electric power for electric
utilities and powering naval vessels. The Company also manages government and
military service and maintenance programs, and provides management services for
the sale, refurbishment, and worldwide installation of complete gas turbine
power plants with electrical output of up to 120 megawatts.
1994 ACQUISITION - On April 22, 1994, the Company, through its newly-formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary Greenwich Air Services Connecticut, Inc. formerly known
as Gas Turbine Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Greenwich-Connecticut"),
purchased for approximately $41 million, exclusive of acquisition costs,
substantially all of the assets of the Gas Turbine Corporation East Granby
Division (the "Division") of Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation (the "Seller"),
and the capital stock of Greenwich Turbine Test Corporation, formerly known as
Gas Turbine Test Corporation ("GTT"), and the assumption by
Greenwich-Connecticut of certain liabilities of the Division and GTT.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
therefore the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Greenwich-Connecticut since April 22, 1994. The purchase price (including the
approximate $1.5 million acquisition payable discussed in note 7) was allocated
based on the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The
following is a summary of assets and liabilities acquired, taking into
consideration the allocation of the purchase acquisition costs and the related
financing (amounts in thousands):
Current assets $35,401
Property and equipment and other assets 18,212
------
Total Assets 53,613
Less: Current liabilities 12,541
------
Net assets acquired $41,072
======
The following summarized, unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year
ended September 30, 1994, assume the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of
the period:
Net sales (in thousands) $141,136
Net income (in thousands) $3,520
Fully diluted earnings per share $0.36
These pro forma results are not indicative of either future financial
performance or actual results which would have occurred had the acquisition been
made as of those dates.
1996 ACQUISITION - On June 10, 1996, the Company, through its newly-formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary GASI Engine Services Corporation, purchased (a)
substantially all of the assets and business of the commercial engine services
divisions (the "CES Divisions") of Aviall, Inc. ("Aviall"), and (b) all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Aviall Limited, a subsidiary of Aviall
(collectively, the "Former Aviall Operations"). The CES Divisions included (i)
all of the engine repair and overhaul operations of Aviall located in Dallas and
Fort Worth, Texas (now known as Greenwich Texas, LLP) and (ii) the components
and parts repair business of Aviall located in McAllen, Texas (now known as
McAllen Components, LLP). Aviall Limited, which has been renamed Greenwich
Caledonian , Ltd. ("Greenwich-Caledonian"), operates an engine repair and
overhaul facility in Prestwick, Scotland.
The purchase price (paid in cash) was estimated at $230,081,000 (based upon the
book value of the acquired assets, net of assumed liabilities). The funds used
for the acquisition were provided by an additional stock offering (see "Capital
Stock" below), the sale of Senior Notes (see Note 10), and borrowings under the
New Credit Facility (see Note 8). The
F-7
<PAGE>
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
therefore the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of GASI
Engine Services Corporation since June 10, 1996. Prior to June 10, 1996, GASI
Engine Services Corporation had no operations.
The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired is based on
currently available information and estimates as of the date of the financial
statements. Adjustments to the purchase price allocation may occur for a period
of up to twelve months from the date of purchase as management obtains the
information necessary (such as appraisals of the net assets acquired) to
finalize this allocation. There is a possibility of significant future
adjustments to the purchase price allocation.
The following is a summary of the computation of the net purchase price and the
estimated allocation of that price to the assets and liabilities acquired as of
June 10, 1996, taking into consideration other direct costs of the acquisition
(Amounts in thousands):
PURCHASE PRICE DETERMINATION:
Gross purchase price $330,000
Less contractual purchase price adjustments for:
Current assets (16,512)
Assumed liabilities (86,639)
Acquisition costs 3,232
-----------
Net purchase price $230,081
===========
PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION:
Current assets $248,307
Property, plant and equipment 110,500
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (68,474)
Deferred taxes (11,027)
Assumed indebtedness (9,319)
Fair value adjustments of certain long-term engine
maintenance contracts, and liabilities related to
engine product line relocation costs, customer and
supplier transfer approvals, licenses and other liabilities (39,906)
-----------
Net purchase price $230,081
===========
Fair value adjustments are being amortized over the life of the related
contracts, generally one to three years.
The pro forma results that follow are unaudited and reflect purchase price
accounting adjustments assuming the acquisition occurred at the beginning of
each period presented. These results have been prepared for comparative purposes
only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the
acquisitions been made at the beginning of the periods presented, or of the
results which may occur in the future.
For the year ended September 30,
-----------------------------------
1995 1996
------------- --------------
Net sales (in thousands) $701,075 $803,463
Net income (in thousands) $18,124 $13,392
Fully diluted earnings per share $1.16 $0.81
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - These financial statements are presented on a
consolidated basis, and include GASI and its majority owned subsidiaries. All
significant intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
F-8
<PAGE>
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - The allowance for doubtful accounts is
established by charges to income through the provision for doubtful accounts
receivable. Trade accounts receivables which are considered by management to be
uncollectible are charged off to the allowance and recoveries of amounts
previously charged off are credited to the allowance. The provision for doubtful
accounts totaled approximately $174,000, $2,806,000 and $2,144,000 for the years
ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively and trade accounts
receivables charged off, net of recoveries, totaled approximately $283,000,
$2,170,000 and $512,000 for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the basis of the moving weighted-average cost of materials and
supplies and actual cost for labor and overhead included in the work-in-process
inventory. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are recorded when, in the opinion
of management, the value of specific inventory items has been impaired.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS - Debt issuance costs and transaction fees, which are
associated with the issuance of notes payable, are being amortized (and charged
to interest expense) over the term of the related loan (see Notes 3, 7 and 9) on
a method which approximates the level yield method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is carried at
cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 30
years). When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is recognized in the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged
to income as incurred, and significant renewals and betterments that extend the
lives of the assets are capitalized.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue from engine maintenance services which are
short-term in nature, is recognized at the time of performance test acceptance
of engines (completed contract method). Revenues from power plant installations
and from long-term contracts and programs are recognized under the percentage of
completion method. Revenue from part sales is recognized upon shipment of the
product to customers. Revenues billed but not earned are deferred and are
recognized in the period the cost is incurred (see Note 16).
WARRANTY COSTS - Warranty costs are accrued based on management's estimate of
such costs and historical sales percentages.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS - A liability for environmental assessments and cleanup is
accrued when it is probable a loss has been incurred and such loss is estimable.
Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the identification of an
environ mental obligation through the Company's internal procedures or upon
notification from regulatory agencies.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. - Greenwich-Caledonian utilizes
the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Translation gains and losses are
included in earnings. Greenwich-Caledonian enters into forward exchange
contracts to hedge certain of its foreign currency commitments. Gains and losses
on forward contracts are recognized concurrently with the related transaction
gains and losses. Total translation and transaction gains or (losses) included
in earnings were $288,000 in 1996.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company's financial instruments
include accounts receivable, forward exchange contracts, accounts payable,
senior notes, convertible subordinated debentures, and long-term debt. The fair
values of such financial instruments have been determined using available market
information and interest rates as of September 30, 1996.
At September 30, 1996, the fair value of the 8% Subordinated Debentures due 2000
was $12,038,000 compared to the carrying value of $2,515,000. The fair value of
all other financial instruments were not materially different than their
carrying value.
F-9
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES - Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
and are measured using the tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. Additionally, deferred tax balances are
adjusted in periods that include the enactment of tax rate changes.
Prior to the adoption of Statement No. 109, income tax expense was determined
using the liability method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 96, Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of Statement 109 was
made on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company
for the year ended September 30, 1994.
CAPITAL STOCK - The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Class A
common stock, $.01 par value, 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $.01
par value, and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value. No preferred
stock has been issued to date. There were 2,116 and 58,800 treasury shares as of
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
On May 8, 1996, the Company paid a dividend of one share of the Company's Class
B common stock to holders of record of each share of Class A common stock on
April 18, 1996. Retained earnings was charged $63,221 during the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 as a result of the issuance of 6,322,147 shares of Class B
common stock. All income per share, dividend per share, common shares
outstanding, and price per share information has been retroactively restated to
reflect this stock dividend.
On June 4, 1996, the Company sold 3,400,000 shares of Class B common stock
through a public offering that generated proceeds of approximately $80.7
million, (net of $4.3 million in related expenses). Proceeds from this offering
were used primarily to fund the 1996 Acquisition.
EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE - Earnings per common and common
equivalent shares are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for
each period. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock
warrants and stock options using the treasury stock method, in applicable
periods. Fully diluted earnings per common share assumes, in addition to the
above, (i) that convertible debentures were converted at the beginning of each
period with earnings being increased for interest expense, net of taxes, that
would not have been incurred had conversion taken place at the beginning of each
period and (ii) the additional dilutive effect from the stock warrants and stock
options discussed above. Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share
amounts are made independently; therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the
quarters may not equal per share amounts for the year.
Shares used to calculate earnings per share are as follows:

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In March 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121), effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may

not be recoverable. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 does
not rescind or interpret existing accounting rules for employee stock-based
arrangements. Under SFAS No. 123, the Company may continue to follow existing
rules to recognize and measure compensation, but they will now be required to
disclose the pro forma amounts of net income and earnings per share that would
have to be reported had the Company elected to follow the "fair value"
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 will apply to the Company
for the year ended September 30, 1997. The Company has not determined whether it
will elect to recognize and measure compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 and
has not yet determined its effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS - Fair value adjustments of certain long term engine
maintenance contracts are being amortized over the life of the related contracts
which expire within one to three years. Management estimates that approximately

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES - As of September 30, 1995, the Company had a $55
million "Revolving Credit Facility." Interest, payable monthly, was calculated
as (i) a certain bank's prime rate of interest plus 1.0%, or (ii) the federal
funds interest rate plus 1.5%. The Company also had the option to fund up to
one-half of the borrowings at either the 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR plus 2.75%.
Concurrent with the acquisition of the Former Aviall Operations (see Note 1),
the Class B Common Stock Offering (see Note 1), and the sale of the Senior Notes
(see Note 10), the Company refinanced the Revolving Credit Facility by entering
into the "New Credit Facility".
The New Credit Facility, comprised of two senior secured revolving credit
facilities in the aggregate amount of $175 million, is secured by the Company's
accounts receivable, inventories and contract rights and by a pledge of 65% of
the capital stock of Greenwich-Caledonian. Advances under the New Credit
Facility are based upon percentages of outstanding eligible accounts receivable
and inventories, and are borrowed at either (i) the lender's prime rate plus
0.875% or (ii) the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.375%.
Expenses related to the refinancing of the New Credit Facility aggregated $2.9
million and were recorded as deferred financing costs. As of September 30, 1996,
the prevailing prime interest rate under the New Credit Facility was 9.13%, and
the prevailing LIBOR interest rate was 8.03%. Interest is payable monthly, and
the new credit facility matures in June 2001.
The New Credit Facility at September 30, 1996, was classified as long-term, as
the Company had the intent and the ability, supported by the terms of its
existing Revolving Credit Facility, to maintain through October 1997, principal
amounts outstanding under the agreement.
F-15
<PAGE>
PROTECTED INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS - Because the Company's obligations under the
Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates, the Company is
subject to changes in prevailing interest rates. In September 1994, the Company
entered into protected interest rate agreements ("Cap Agreements") with a
financial institution in order to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate
fluctuations. Under the Cap Agreements, the Company has $12,500,000 of prime
rate coverage protection at 11.75%, and $12,500,000 of 90 day LIBOR rate
protection at 9.0% through August 31, 1997. If the prevailing interest rate
exceeds the contracted rate, the financial institution will pay to the Company
an amount equal to the excess.
Transaction fees paid in connection with the Cap Agreements are being amortized
to interest expense over the life of the Cap Agreements on a method which
approximates the level yield method. Any payments by the financial institution
will reduce the interest costs associated with the borrowings protected.
OTHER DEBT
TERM LOAN. In November 1992, the Company entered into a loan and security
agreement with a commercial lender (the "Term Lender") for a five year, $9
million term loan expiring in November 1997 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan is
secured by equipment and tooling with a net book value of $10,920,000 as of
September 30, 1996. This term loan bears interest at 8.75% per annum, payable in
59 monthly installments (including principal and interest) of $143,205 each, and
a final payment of approximately $3.3 million due on November 1, 1997.
CONNECTICUT TERM LOAN. On May 26, 1994 the Company and Greenwich-Connecticut
entered into a separate loan and security agreement with the Term Lender for a
five year, $8 million term loan expiring on May 26, 1999 (the "Connecticut Term
Loan"). The Connecticut Term Loan is secured by substantially all of
Greenwich-Connecticut's fixed assets (excluding real estate) with a net book
value of $16,121,000, bears interest at a rate of 8.99% per annum, payable
monthly in arrears. Principal repayments remaining under this agreement are
monthly installments of $111,111 each, with all such payments ending on May 26,
1999.
LOAN PAYABLE TO WAL. In November 1992, the Company entered into a loan and
security agreement with World Air Lease, Inc. ("WAL"), an affiliate of the
Company, for a five year, $3 million Term Loan expiring in November 1997 (the
"WAL Loan"). The WAL Loan is co-secured by the same equipment and tooling as the
Term Loan, and bears interest at 10.25% per annum, payable in 59 monthly
installments (including principal and interest) of $50,519 each, and a final
payment of approximately $1.1 million due on November 1, 1997. In April l, 1994,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Greenwich-Connecticut Term Loan, WAL
agreed to grant a priority lien position to the Term Lender on
Greenwich-Connecticut's fixed assets. In return, WAL was granted a priority lien
position on specific tooling, and was granted a first mortgage on certain real
property that the Company owns in East Granby, Connecticut.
BORROWING FACILITY. Greenwich-Caledonian has borrowings directly from a
financial institution in the United Kingdom which consists of a (pound)4.0
million ($6.3 million as of September 30, 1996) unsecured overdraft facility
payable on demand (the "Borrowing Facility"). Borrowings under this facility
bear interest at the Bank's Base Rate plus 1.75%, (7.5% as of September 30,
1996). As of September 30, 1996, approximately $4.8 million was outstanding
under this borrowing facility.
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND MATURITIES -The Company's credit agreements each
contain various restrictive covenants which include, among other things, minimum
tangible net worth, maintenance of minimum working capital, limitations on the
payment of dividends, restrictions on capital expenditures, restrictions on
certain additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain certain financial
ratios.

9. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company's $2,515,000 publicly-traded debentures (the "Debentures")
outstanding as of September 30, 1996, ($14,057,000 outstanding as of September
30, 1995) mature on November 15, 2000 and pay interest at 8% per annum, payable
on March 15 and September 15 every year until maturity. The Debentures are
convertible into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at any time prior
to maturity, unless previously redeemed by the Company, at a conversion price of
$5.85 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Debentures are not
redeemable by the Company prior to November 15, 1996. Thereafter, the Debentures
are redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest, provided that the Debentures may not be redeemed
unless the closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock has equaled or
exceeded $6.75 for 20 consecutive trading days.
In 1995, $2,942,000 principal amount of debentures were converted into 251,445
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (based on a conversion rate of
$11.70 per share) or approximately 85 shares for each $1,000 face amount of
debentures. In 1996, $11,542,000 principal amount of debentures were converted
into 1,033,546 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock ($10,982,000 prior
to May 9, 1996, based on a conversion price of $11.70 per share and $560,000 on
or after May 8, 1996 based on a conversion price of $5.85 per share or
approximately 171 shares for each $1,000 face amount of debentures).
10. SENIOR NOTES
On June 4, 1996, the Company sold $160 million principal amount of 10 1/2%
Senior Notes due 2006 (the "Senior Notes" or the "Notes") through a public
offering. Proceeds from this offering, net of underwriting discounts and
expenses approximating $5.3 million, were used primarily to fund the Aviall
Acquisition (see Note 1). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the
Company, which rank PARI PASSU with all unsubordinated unsecured indebtedness of
the Company, and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future
subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
The Notes are not redeemable prior to June 1, 2001; however, at any time on or
after June 1, 2001, the Notes are redeemable at the Option of the Company, in
whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to: (a)
105.25%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2001; (b)
103.50%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2002; (c)
101.75%, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing June 1, 2003; and (d)
100%, if redeemed thereafter, beginning June 1, 2004.
The Notes contains limitations on, among other things, the incurrence of
additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, issuance of new stock, and
certain other transactions as defined. The Notes are also fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company's
domestic subsidiaries (guarantor subsidiaries) and are secured by a pledge of
65% of the capital stock of Greenwich-Caledonian (non-guarantor subsidiary). See
Note 18.

11. STOCK OPTION, STOCK WARRANTS, AND OTHER PLANS
1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN - In July 1992, the Company's Board of Directors and
stockholders approved the establishment by the Company of the 1992 Employee
Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Stock Option Plan"),
pursuant to which officers and other key employees of the Company can receive
incentive options and non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 584,125
shares of the Company's Common Stock. During fiscal 1996, the plan was amended
to allow the granting of Class B Common Stock only after May 8, 1996.
The exercise price for shares purchased upon the exercise of non-qualified
options granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan is determined by the
Compensation Committee at the time of option grant. The exercise price of an
incentive stock option granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan must be at least
equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such
option is granted (110% of the fair market value for stockholders who, at the
time the option is granted, own more than 10% of the total combined classes of
stock of the Company or any subsidiary). No employees may be granted incentive
stock options in any year for shares having a fair market value, determined as
of the date of grant, in excess of $100,000.
No incentive option granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan may have a term of
more than 10 years (five years for 10% or greater stockholders). Options,
whether incentive or nonqualified options, generally may be exercised only if
the option holder remains continuously associated with the Company or a
subsidiary from the date of grant to the date of exercise. However, options may
be exercised upon termination of employment or upon the death or disability of
an employee within certain specified periods.
The Company may grant non-qualified options with exercise prices which are less
than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The Company
does not intend to grant non-qualified options at exercise prices which are less
than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
On May 20, 1994, the Company granted certain officers and other key employees
the option to purchase an aggregate of 106,500 (213,000 after effect of May 8,
1996 stock dividend) shares of the Company's common stock. These incentive
options were granted at an exercise price of $6.00 ($3.00 after effect of May 8,
1996 stock dividend) per share and are exercisable beginning one year after the
date of grant for 25% of the shares, with the balance to become exercisable
cumulatively in two installments each year thereafter of 25% and 50% in years
two and three, respectively. During fiscal 1995, the Company granted other key
employees the option to purchase an additional 18,000 (36,000 after effect of
May 8, 1996 stock dividend) shares of common stock at an option price of $7.00
for 10,000 ($3.50 for 20,000 after effect of May 8, 1996 stock dividend) shares
and $12.38 for 8,000 ($6.19 for 16,000 after effect of May 8, 1996 stock
dividend) shares. During fiscal 1996 the Company granted the option to purchase
an additional 131,000 shares of common stock to key employees at an average
option price per share of $13.56.

approved the establishment of a stock option plan (the "1994 Stock Option Plan")
pursuant to which outside directors of the Company can receive incentive options
and non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 15,000 (30,000 after
effect of May 8, 1996 stock dividend) shares of the Company's common stock. As
of September 30, 1996 all 30,000 options had been granted and 24,200 were
exercisable at an exercise price of $2.69 per share.
STOCK WARRANTS - In connection with the Company's initial public offering in

their initial public offering price and up to 100,000 (200,000 after effect of
May 8, 1996 stock dividend) shares of the Company's common stock at $11.70
($5.85 after effect of May 8, 1996 stock dividend) per share. These warrants are
exercisable through November 1998.
Through September 30, 1996, 170,321 shares of the Company's common stock (9,000
as of September 30, 1995) were issued in connection with the exercise of
warrants to purchase $1,275,000 of debentures and 200,000 shares of common
stock. All exercises of warrants were cashless with the exception of certain
stock warrants which were exercised to purchase 36,600 common shares in 1996 for
approximately $214,000 in cash. As of September 30, 1996, warrants to purchase
of up to $225,000 in debentures remain outstanding and exercisable.
1995 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN - In July 1992, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized and directed the Compensation Committee of the Board and the officers
of the Company to develop a stock purchase plan available to Company employees
to serve as an additional employment incentive.
During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the
adoption of the "1995 Stock Purchase Plan" as developed by Company's management.
During 1996, the plan was amended to increase the number of shares and to
provide for the purchase of Class B Common Stock only after June 30, 1996. Under
this plan all full-time employees with at least one year of service may purchase
up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The 1995
Stock Purchase Plan allows participating employees to purchase, through payroll
deductions, shares of the Company's common stock at 85 percent of the fair
market value at specified times. During fiscal 1995 and 1996, employees
purchased a total of 37,884 and 18,851 shares, respectively, at $3.46 and $17.72
per share. At September 30, 1996, 143,265 shares remained available for purchase
through the plan.
401(K) PLAN - During 1990, the Company adopted a 401(K) Plan (the "Plan") which
allows eligible employees to contribute to the Plan up to 25% of their
compensation for services rendered in any year, not to exceed amounts prescribed
under statutory limits. The Company may elect to make contributions to the Plan
at its discretion. The Company contributions to the Plan for the years ended
September 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 were approximately $20,000, $28,000, and
$70,000, respectively.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company purchased engine parts from WAL
totaling $171,930 and $37,000, respectively. During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the
Company performed engine parts repair services for WAL and another company
affiliated through common ownership aggregating approximately $103,000 and
$63,000, respectively.
In March 1995, the Company purchased an aircraft engine from another company
affiliated through common ownership and concurrently entered into an agreement
to sell the engine to a customer under substantially the same terms. The Company
received a brokerage fee of $10,000 and was reimbursed for its costs and
expenses.
In June 1995, the Company entered into an aircraft engine lease agreement with a
company affiliated through common ownership to provide a replacement engine
while a customer's engine was being served by the Company. Concurrent to
entering into the lease, the Company and the customer entered into a sub-lease
under substantially the same terms.
In June 1995, the Company purchased an unserviceable engine at its approximate
fair market value of $550,000 from an affiliated company. This engine was
disassembled to provide parts for an engine being repaired by the Company for an
unaffiliated third party.
In May 1996, the Company completed the servicing of an engine partly owned by a
company affiliated through common ownership, which services aggregated to
$640,000. This affiliate is a passive investor with a minority interest in, and
no management control of the engine serviced.
The terms of the above transactions are believed by the Company's management to
have been on a market basis not materially different from those which would have
prevailed in a transaction on an arms-length basis with an unrelated person.
A Director of the Company is a senior partner in a law firm which has received
legal fees from the Company in connection with professional services provided to
the Company.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As security for performance and advances on long term contracts, the Company is
contingently liable as of September 30, 1996, in the amount of $3,280,000, under
standby letter of credits and bonds.
The Company conducts certain operations from leased warehouses and office
facilities and uses certain data processing, transportation, and other equipment
under lease agreements expiring at various dates during the next five years,
excluding renewal options. In most cases, management expects that in the normal
course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other
leases.
Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, under these
leases was approximately $1,974,000, $5,142,000 and $6,308,000, respectively.
Aggregate future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating
leases are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Year Ending September 30, Amount
- ----------------------------------------------
1997 $7,896
1998 7,078
1999 6,283
2000 5,501
2001 5,289
- ----------------------------------------------
Total $32,047

<PAGE>
The Company's existing and anticipated customers include passenger airlines, air
freight and package carriers, industrial and marine users, government and
leasing companies. Economic and other factors may adversely affect the airline
industry, particularly the major passenger airlines. As a result, certain of
these customers may pose credit risks to the Company. To date, the Company has
not been significantly impacted by these factors, however, the Company cannot
predict whether these conditions will adversely affect the Company's results of
operations in the future.
The Company has entered into employment agreements with two of its officers
expiring on September 30, 1996. Under such agreements, as amended, the Company
paid the officers base salaries of $400,000 and $200,000 per annum, plus
deferred compensation of $80,000 and $20,000, respectively. Additionally these
officers are entitled to annual bonuses, based on the Company achieving certain
pre-determined base income. For fiscal 1996 the bonuses were not to exceed an
aggregate of $1,000,000 per annum.
The Company is subject to extensive and frequently changing Federal and State
environmental laws and regulations. The Company believes that it is in material
compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Although
unaware of any violations, the Company could be held liable as a former operator
at locations where formerly conducted operations, as well as at the newly
acquired locations although the Company has been indemnified by prior owners of
most of its current facilities. The Company may be subject to enforcement
actions, environmental remediation, installation of appropriate control
technology and/or penalties. Since the existence and, if violations are
asserted, the ultimate outcome of these matters are not certain and no
significant provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
It is anticipated that new regulations, or new interpretations of existing
environmental regulations, which the Company is subject to, may be promulgated
which may necessitate material capital expenditures on the part of the Company.
The Company is currently unable to estimate the extent of any capital
expenditures that may be required in the future to effect such compliance.
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit with a previous customer in connection
with an aircraft maintenance service agreement, for the repair of an aircraft
and engine in which damages in excess of $2,000,000 against the Company are
claimed. Based upon legal proceedings, discovery to date, and the advice of
legal counsel management believes that the Company's liability, if any, will not
exceed $300,000 as a result of this action, and it is the Company's intention to
defend this suit vigorously.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation routine to its
operations. The Company believes, with advice of legal counsel, that the
ultimate outcome of such routine litigation will not have a significant impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
14. PENSION PLAN
Greenwich-Caledonian maintains a defined benefit pension plan. The benefits for
this plan are based upon a final-pay benefit formula. The funding policy for the
plan is to contribute such amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to
provide the plan with sufficient assets to meet the benefits payable to plan
participants. The plan's assets are primarily invested in equities and
interest-bearing accounts.
The following tables reflect the components of net pension expense and the
funded status for the plan (in thousands):

15. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Sales to one major unaffiliated customer during the year ended September 30,
1996 amounted to $45,508,000, representing approximately 11% of the Company's
net sales for such year. Sales to two major unaffiliated customers during the
year ended September 30, 1995 amounted to $34,779,000 and $20,255,000,
representing approximately 18% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's net sales
for such year. No one customer represented over 10% of sales for the year ended
September 30, 1994.
Sales under government contracts and sub-contracts aggregated 20%, 14%, and 11%
of total net sales for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996
respectively. Government contracts are customarily subject to cancellation or
renegotiation at the Government's election. However, the Company is not aware of
any such actions or pending actions that would have a material affect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
Sales to foreign customers aggregated 21%, 18%, and 24% of total net sales for
the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Company's
customers are located throughout the world, and those outside the United States
are not concentrated in any one geographic area.
F-22
<PAGE>
The Company operates in the aviation industry and reports its activities as one
business segment. The Company's foreign sales and pretax earnings emanate
entirely from its repair facility in Prestwick, Scotland. There were no foreign
operations prior to 1996. Financial information by geographic area follows (in
thousands):
1996
- ----------------------------------------------------
Net sales:
United States 331,824
United Kingdom 66,089
- ----------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------

- ----------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------
Identifiable assets:
United States 434,815
United Kingdom 190,265
- ----------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------
There were no transfers between geographic areas. Operating profit is net sales
less operating expenses. In computing operating profit, none of the following
items has been added or deducted: interest expense, other (income)/expense, and
income taxes. Domestic operations profit is net of corporate and general and
administrative expenses.
Identifiable assets are those assets of the Company that are identified with the
operations in each geographic area.
16. LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS
The Company is a party to several long-term engine maintenance contracts with
customers for specified engine fleets over specific periods of time. These
contracts, with remaining terms at September 30, 1996 of one to three years, use
long-term contract accounting which requires various estimates to predict the
contract profitability over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized
upon test acceptance based on rates per hour (power-by-the-hour) applied to each
completed engine's hours flown since last shop visit. Customers are billed
monthly for fleet hours flown during the period. Costs are recognized for
completed engines based on an average gross margin assumption over the life of
the contract.
Estimates used include failure removal rates, productivity changes, overhaul
cost projections and customer and fleet specific variables. Changes to these
estimates and the resulting cumulative contract-to-date catchup adjustments may
result in material changes to profitability in any given time period. The
estimates used represent management's best estimate of expected future contract
results based on available information. Actual results could differ
significantly (positive or negative) from estimates currently used should
operating performance or other factors change.
The balance sheet components associated with these long-term contracts include
deferred receivables, costs, charges and revenues. Deferred receivable is the
contract-to-date cumulative variance between the amounts invoiced at contract
rates and the average rate over the contract's life. Deferred cost is the
cumulative difference between the costs projected to date based on the total
estimated contract profitability and the actual costs incurred to date. This
amount is classified according to the remaining term of the related contract.
Deferred charge (revenue) is the cumulative variance between the fleet hours
flown at the contract rate per hour and the revenue recognized to date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND
Greenwich Caledonian, Ltd. ("Greenwich-Caledonian") is engaged in the
maintenance and overhaul of turbine engines and components used primarily in
commercial aviation and provides its services on a worldwide basis. This
Prestwick, Scotland engine repair operation is a wholly owned foreign subsidiary
of Greenwich Air Services, Inc. ("Greenwich").
On June 10, 1996, Greenwich purchased (a) all of the assets and business of the
commercial engine services divisions of Aviall, Inc. ("Aviall"), and (b) all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Aviall Limited, a subsidiary of Aviall
(collectively, the "Former Aviall Operations"). The purchase price (paid in
cash) for the Former Aviall Operations, net of assumed liabilities and
indebtedness and as adjusted in accordance with the Purchase Agreement was
$230,081,000 of which approximately $71,590,000 represents the purchase price
for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aviall Limited (now known as
Greenwich Caledonian, Ltd.). The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting therefore the accompanying financial statements
are on a new basis of accounting.
The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and to the
individual subsidiaries is based on currently available information and
estimates as of the date of the financial statements. Adjustments to the
purchase price allocation may occur for a period of up to twelve months from the
date of purchase as management obtains the information necessary (such as
appraisals) to finalize this allocation. There is a possibility of significant
future adjustments to the purchase price allocation.
As a result of the Greenwich acquisition, the net assets of Greenwich-Caledonian
were recorded as follows as of June 11, 1996 (Amounts in thousands):
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current assets $124,949
Property, plant and equipment 51,129
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (37,508)
Deferred taxes (11,027)
Assumed indebtedness (55,953)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net purchase price $71,590
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION.- The accompanying financial statements are prepared in
U.S. Dollars. The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events
as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual
results may differ from estimated amounts.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue from engine maintenance services is recognized at
the time of performance test acceptance of engines (the "completed contract"
method). Revenue from long-term fixed-price contracts is recognized under the
"percentage-of-
F-31
<PAGE>
completion" method. Revenue from part sales is recognized upon shipment of the
product to its customers. Revenues billed but not earned are deferred and are
recognized in the period the cost is incurred (see Note 12).
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - The allowance for doubtful accounts is
established by charges to income through the provision for doubtful accounts
receivable. Trade accounts receivable which are considered by management to be
uncollectible are charged off to the allowance and recoveries of amounts
previously charged off are credited to the allowance. In addition, a substantial
portion of Greenwich-Caledonian's accounts receivable balance is covered by
credit insurance. The provision for doubtful accounts totaled approximately
$128,000 for the period of June 11 to September 30, 1996 and trade accounts
receivable charge offs, net of recoveries, totaled approximately $2,000 for the
same period.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the basis of the moving weighted-average cost of materials and
supplies and actual cost for labor and overhead included in work-in-process
inventory. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are recorded when, in the opinion
of management, the value of specific inventory items has been impaired.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is carried at
cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets; buildings and
improvements - 30 years, and machinery, equipment and tooling - 3 to 20 years.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is recognized for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is
charged to income as incurred, and significant renewals and betterments that
extend the lives of the assets are capitalized.
WARRANTY COSTS - Warranty costs are accrued based on management's estimate of
such costs and historical sales percentages.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS - A liability for environmental assessments and cleanup is
accrued when it is probable a loss has been incurred and is estimable.
Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the identification of an
environmental obligation through internal procedures or upon notification from
regulatory agencies. Greenwich-Caledonian is not aware of any exposure to
environmental costs arising from its continuing operations that requires any
such liability to be recorded. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Aviall has
agreed to indemnify Greenwich for any existing environmental obligations as of
the purchase date.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS - Greenwich-Caledonian utilizes
the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Translation gains and losses are
included in earnings. Greenwich-Caledonian enters into forward exchange
contracts to hedge certain of its foreign currency commitments. Gains and losses
on forward contracts are recognized concurrently with the related transaction
gains and losses. Total translation and transaction gains or (losses) included
in earnings were $288,000 for the period of June 11 to September 30, 1996.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Greenwich-Caledonian's financial
instruments include accounts receivable, forward exchange contracts and
overdraft facility. The fair value of such financial instruments have been
determined using available market information and interest rates as of September
30, 1996. The fair value of such financial instruments were not materially
different than their carrying value.

<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES - Greenwich-Caledonian accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, and are measured using the tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Additionally, deferred tax
balances are adjusted in periods that include the enactment of tax rate changes.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121) effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on Greenwich-Caledonian's
financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH GREENWICH
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES - Greenwich provides certain corporate
general and administrative services to Greenwich-Caledonian, including legal,
treasury, human resources and finance, among others. Costs related to these
services were allocated to Greenwich-Caledonian on a basis that approximated the
proportional share of the usage of the actual services provided and a
representative share of certain corporate fixed expenses. Management believes
these allocations are reasonable. Total allocated expenses included in "Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses" in the accompanying Statement of Income
were $1,194,000 for the period of June 11 to September 30, 1996.
INTERCOMPANY FINANCING AND INTEREST EXPENSE -"Due to Greenwich" in the
accompanying Balance Sheet represents Greenwich's net advances to
Greenwich-Caledonian resulting from cash and non-cash transfers and intercompany
allocations. The intercompany advances by Greenwich to Greenwich-Caledonian are
evidenced by a promissory note dated June 10, 1996 maturing on June 30, 2006.
The annual interest rate is based on Greenwich's average consolidated interest
rate. At September 30, 1996 the interest rate was 9.1%. Total intercompany
interest charged by Greenwich to Greenwich-Caledonian for the period of June 11
to September 30, 1996 was $1,461,000. The note may be prepaid by
Greenwich-Caledonian without penalty. Because Greenwich manages the cash and
financing requirements of the Company, it is not practicable to estimate cash
paid for interest and income taxes.
CORPORATE INSURANCE - Greenwich-Caledonian participated in Greenwich's combined
risk management programs for property and casualty insurance.
Greenwich-Caledonian was charged amounts which primarily represented an
allocation of third party premiums, including estimates of claims incurred but
not reported. Costs allocated under these programs were $266,000 for the period
of June 11 to September 30, 1996.
SECURITY FOR GREENWICH DEBT - On June 4, 1996, Greenwich sold $160 million
principal amount of 10-1/2% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "Senior Notes") through a
public offering. The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by
each of Greenwich's domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of 65% of
the capital stock of Greenwich-Caledonian.

<PAGE>
NOTE 9 - PENSION PLAN
Greenwich-Caledonian maintains a defined benefit pension plan. The benefits for
this plan are based upon a final-pay benefit formula. The funding policy for the
plan is to contribute such amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to
provide the plan with sufficient assets to meet the benefits payable to plan
participants. The plan's assets are primarily invested in equities and
interest-bearing accounts.
The following tables reflect the components of net pension expense and the
funded status for the plan (in thousands):
FOR THE PERIOD OF

remaining service lives of participants expected to receive benefits and
transition amounts are amortized over 13 to 19 years.
NOTE 10 - COMMON STOCK
Greenwich-Caledonian is authorized to issue 1,000,000 (pound)1 par value shares
("A Ordinary Shares") and 36,000,000 $1 par value shares ("B Ordinary Shares").
Each A Ordinary Share has 1.8 votes per share and each B Ordinary Share has 1
vote per share. Dividends or other amounts payable to holders, whether on
liquidation or otherwise, are apportioned so that 1.8 times the amount payable
in respect of each B Ordinary Share is payable in respect of each A Ordinary
Share. All 1,000,000 A Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding and 22,069,272
B Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Greenwich-Caledonian is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the
disposition of these matters will not have a material impact on the financial
condition or cash flows of the company.
Greenwich-Caledonian's existing and anticipated customers include passenger
airlines, air freight and package carriers, industrial and marine users,
government and leasing companies. Economic and other factors may adversely
affect the airline industry, particularly the major passenger airlines. As a
result, certain of these customers may pose credit risks. To date, the company
has not been significantly impacted by these factors, however, management cannot
predict whether these conditions will adversely affect Greenwich-Caledonian's
results of operations in the future.
NOTE 12 - LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS
The Company is a party to several long-term engine maintenance contracts with
customers for specified engine fleets over specific periods of time. These
contracts, with remaining terms at September 30, 1996 of one to three years, use
long-term contract accounting which requires various estimates to predict the
contract profitability over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized
upon test acceptance based on rates per hour (power-by-the-hour) applied to each
completed engine's hours flown since last shop visit. Customers are billed
monthly for fleet hours flown during the period. Costs are recognized for
completed engines based on an average gross margin assumption over the life of
the contract.
Estimates used include failure removal rates, productivity changes, overhaul
cost projections and customer and fleet specific variables. Changes to these
estimates and the resulting cumulative contract-to-date catchup adjustments may
result in material changes to profitability in any given time period. The
estimates used represent management's best estimate of expected future contract
results based on available information. Actual results could differ
significantly (positive or negative) from estimates currently used should
operating performance or other factors change.
The balance sheet components associated with these long-term contracts include
deferred receivables, costs, charges and revenues. Deferred receivable is the
contract-to-date cumulative variance between the amounts invoiced at contract
rates and the average rate over the contract's life. Deferred cost is the
cumulative difference between the costs projected to date based on the total
estimated contract profitability and the actual costs incurred to date. This
amount is classified according to the remaining term of the related contract.
Deferred charge (revenue) is the cumulative variance between the fleet hours
flown at the contract rate per hour and the revenue recognized to date.
The following table sets forth the assets (liabilities) related to the long-term
engine maintenance contracts as of September 30, 1996 (in thousands):
Current deferred cost $3,749
Current deferred charge (revenue) (2,310)

AVIALL LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND
Aviall Limited (the "Company") is engaged in the maintenance and overhaul of
turbine engines used primarily in commercial aviation and provides its services
on a worldwide basis. The engine repair operation located in Prestwick, Scotland
is a wholly owned United Kingdom foreign subsidiary of Aviall, Inc. ("Aviall").
Based on a decision by the Aviall Board of Directors on January 24, 1996,
Aviall signed a letter of intent with Greenwich Air Services, Inc. ("GASI") for
the sale of its commercial engine services business which includes the Company.
A definitive agreement was signed on April 19, 1996. The sale transaction was
consummated on June 10, 1996.
NOTE 2 - NONRECURRING CHARGES
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Aviall
recorded in its consolidated financial statements a "discontinued operations"
charge of $212.5 million as of December 31, 1995 to reflect its estimate of the
loss it incurred upon sale of the discontinued commercial engine services
operations. The Company did not record in its 1995 financial statements any
amounts included in the charge related to the Company since this discontinued
operations treatment was not appropriate at this level. Direct costs estimated
at approximately $3.6 million are expected to be incurred by Aviall on behalf of
the Company. The consolidated financial statements for the period from December
1, 1995 to June 10, 1996 include $2.8 million of such expenses as nonrecurring
charges. Upon completion of the sale, GASI allocated its purchase price in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and thus established
different bases of certain assets and liabilities than are reflected in these
financial statements.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the
sale, the Company's fiscal year ended on November 30. Subsequent to the sale to
GASI, the Company's fiscal year end was changed to September 30. The
accompanying financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars. The fair value
of current assets and liabilities approximates carrying value.
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such
estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date
of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may
differ from estimated amounts.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Income from engine maintenance services is recognized at
the time of performance test acceptance of engines (the "completed contract"
method). Revenue from long-term fixed-price contracts, such as
"power-by-the-hour" or "flat-rate" contracts, is recognized under the
"percentage-of-completion" method.
INVENTORIES. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the basis of average cost of materials and supplies and actual
cost for labor and overhead included in work-in-process. Provision is made for
estimated excess and obsolete inventories. All inventory available for sale
during the course of the normal business cycle has been included in current
assets.
F-44
<PAGE>
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost
and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the
straight-line method. Lives assigned to asset categories are 40 years for
buildings and improvements and 4 to 15 years for machinery, equipment, tooling
and rental engines.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Goodwill is reported net of accumulated amortization of $5.9
million as of November 30, 1995. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is amortized using the
straight-line method over forty years.
The Company has reviewed the net realizable value of its goodwill through an
assessment of the estimated future cash flows related to such assets and has
concluded that there is no impairment of the net carrying value.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS. A liability for environmental assessments and cleanup is
accrued when it is probable a loss has been incurred and is estimable.
Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the identification of an
environmental obligation through the Company's internal procedures or upon
notification from regulatory agencies. The Company used certain chemicals
classified by various agencies as hazardous substances. As a result of Aviall's
decision to sell the Company, certain environmental exit costs are expected to
be incurred by Aviall. An estimate of $2.6 million for these environmental
related exit costs have been reflected in these financial statements for the
period from December 1, 1995 to June 10, 1996 as nonrecurring charges.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. The Company utilizes the U.S.
dollar as its functional currency. Translation gains and losses are included in
earnings. Aviall entered into forward exchange contracts on behalf of the
Company to hedge certain of its foreign currency commitments including loan
commitments with the European Investment Bank ("EIB") and certain labor costs.
Gains and losses on forward contracts are recognized by the Company concurrently
with the related transaction gains and losses. Total translation and transaction
gains or (losses) included in earnings were $(0.5) million and $1.2 million in
1994 and 1995, respectively, and $1.0 million for the period from December 1,
1995 to June 10, 1996.
INCOME TAXES. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FASB Statement No.
121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AVIALL
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. Aviall provided certain corporate general
and administrative services to the Company, including legal, treasury, human
resources and finance, among others. Costs related to these services were
allocated to the Company on a basis that approximated either the proportional
share of the Company's usage of the actual services provided or a representative
share of certain corporate fixed expenses. Management believes these allocations
are reasonable.
F-45
<PAGE>
Total allocated expenses included in "Selling and Administrative Expenses" in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations were $2.9 million and
$3.7 million in 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $1.7 million for the period
from December 1, 1995 to June 10, 1996.
INTERCOMPANY FINANCING AND INTEREST EXPENSE. "Due to Aviall" reflected in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet represents Aviall's net advances to the Company
resulting from cash and non-cash transfers, intercompany allocations and the
repayment of certain debt. The intercompany advances by Aviall to the Company
are evidenced by a promissory note dated December 7, 1993 maturing on December
31, 2000. The annual interest rate is agreed upon between the parties and was
equal to the quarterly floating London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus
3%. At November 30, 1995, the interest rate was 8.9%. Total intercompany
interest charged by Aviall to the Company in 1994 and 1995 was $3.4 million and
$4.4 million, respectively, and for the period from December 1, 1995 to June 10,
1996 was $1.9 million. The note was prepaid without penalty immediately after
the closing of the transaction described in Note 1.
CORPORATE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. The Company participated in Aviall's combined risk
management programs for property and casualty insurance, including aviation
products liability. The Company was charged $1.4 million and $1.6 million in
1994 and 1995, respectively, and $0.8 million for the period from December 1,
1995 to June 10, 1996, which represented an allocation of third party premiums.
GUARANTEES OF DEBT BY AVIALL. The Company's debt with the EIB was supported by
letters of credit issued under Aviall's credit facility. In addition, the
Company's (pound)4.0 million unsecured bank overdraft facility was guaranteed by
Aviall. The letters of credit and the guarantee were cancelled upon closing of
the transaction described in Note 1.
SECURITY FOR AVIALL DEBT. On March 25, 1996, Aviall amended its credit
facilities to provide for a maturity date of April 30, 1997. The amended credit
facilities contain various covenants, including financial covenants, limitations
on debt and limitations on capital expenditures. In the absence of obtaining the
amended agreement, Aviall would have been in default of the financial covenants
of its previously outstanding credit facilities. Aviall's amended credit
facilities were secured in part by a pledge of 65% of the stock of the Company.
SALE OF BATTERY SHOP. As of May 31, 1996, the net assets of a battery repair
shop located in London, England were sold to a subsidiary of Aviall for $0.8
million.
NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES

businesses, including several commercial airlines. Management believes that
sufficient allowances for doubtful accounts have been provided as of November

NOTE 9 - DEBT
The Company's financing was provided primarily by Aviall's credit facilities. In
addition, the Company had borrowings directly from financial institutions in the
United Kingdom. The Company's credit facilities consisted of (1) two ten-year
amortizing unsecured term loans with the EIB payable semiannually through 1996
("Loans A and B"); (2) a ten- year amortizing unsecured term loan with the EIB
payable semiannually through 1998 ("Loan C"); and (3) a (pound)4.0 million
unsecured overdraft facility with a bank payable on demand (the "Overdraft
Facility"). The EIB loans could be prepaid with penalties based on interest
rates prevailing as of the prepayment date. The interest rates on Loan A and
Loan B were 7% and 7.5%, respectively, and the interest rate on Loan C was 9.3%.
Borrowings under the Overdraft Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.625%.

At November 30, 1995, substantially all of the deferred tax liability arises
from temporary differences related to property and equipment basis differences.
The Company's income tax returns are subject to review by Inland Revenue.
Returns through 1993 have been settled and the 1994 and 1995 returns are
currently under discussion.
NOTE 11 - PENSION PLANS
The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan. The benefits for this
plan are based upon a final-pay benefit formula. The funding policy for the plan
is to contribute such amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to provide
the plan with sufficient assets to meet the benefits payable to plan
participants. The plan's assets are primarily invested in equities and
interest-bearing accounts.
The following tables reflect the components of net pension expense and the
funded status for the plan (in thousands):
