                  GREENWICH AIR SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
                                  JUNE 30, 1997


1.    STATEMENT OF INFORMATION
      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
      not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual
      financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
      Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September
      30, 1996. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated
      financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
      recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the balance
      sheets and statements of income and of cash flows for such interim periods
      presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
      June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
      expected for the entire fiscal year. The preparation of the 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.

      ORGANIZATION
      Greenwich Air Services, Inc. ("GASI") and its subsidiaries (collectively,
      the "Company" or "Greenwich") overhauls, repairs, and refurbishes gas
      turbine engines and components used in aviation, marine and industrial
      applications. The Company also manages government and military service and
      maintenance programs, and provides management services for the sale,
      refurbishment and installation of complete gas turbine power plants.

      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 and (ii) the components and parts repair
      business of Aviall located in McAllen, Texas. Aviall Limited, which has
      been renamed Greenwich Caledonian Limited ("Greenwich Caledonian")
      operated an engine repair and overhaul facility in Prestwick, Scotland.

      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
      In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, ACCOUNTING
      FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
      DISPOSED OF. SFAS No. 121 was adopted by to the Company as of October 1,
      1996 without any impact.

      In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
      COMPENSATION. The Company intends to adopt the pro forma disclosure
      features of SFAS No. 123, which are effective for fiscal year 1997. The
      adoption of these pro forma disclosure features will not have any impact
      on the Company's present accounting for stock-based compensation.

      In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. The
      statement is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
      December 15, 1997, and changes the method by which earnings per share will
      be determined. Adoption of this statement by the Company is not expected
      to have a material impact on earnings per share.

3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
      Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
      common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share
      equivalents include dilutive stock options and stock warrants using the
      treasury stock method.

      Fully diluted earnings per share assumes, in addition to the above, (a)
      that convertible debentures and debenture warrants 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 and (b) the additional dilutive effect of stock options.

4.    CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
      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 non-voting common
      stock, $.01 par value; and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par
      value.

      On October 2, 1996, Greenwich's Board of Directors authorized the
      redemption of all of the Company's outstanding 8% Convertible Subordinated
      Debentures, due 2000 (the "Debentures"). The redemption date was November
      25, 1996. The redemption price was 100% of the principal amount plus any
      unpaid interest accrued to that date. The Debentures are convertible into
      Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $5.85 per share. Prior to
      the redemption, during the nine months ended June 30, 1997, a total of
      $2,515,000 of the Debentures were converted into 429,904 shares of Class A
      common stock.

      On November 25, 1996, Greenwich's Board of Directors elected to declare a
      $.012 per share cash dividend to shareholders of record as of January 10,
      1997. The cash dividend is payable on shares of both Class A and Class B
      Common Stock and was paid on January 30, 1997.

5.    OTHER STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS INFORMATION
      During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, $2,515,000 of the Company's 8%
      Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2000 were converted into 429,904
      shares of Common Stock. Unamortized deferred issue costs applicable to the
      Debentures converted of approximately $160,000 were charged to additional
      paid in capital. The unamortized deferred issue costs are determined at
      the date of conversion.

6.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
      During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased engine
      parts totaling $19,000, from a company affiliated through common
      ownership, and performed engine repair services totaling 1,214,000 for
      this same affiliate. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30,
      1997, the Company also purchased engine parts totaling $41,000 from
      another company affiliated through common ownership.

      The terms of the above transactions are believed by the Company's
      management to have been on a market basis

                                        7

      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.

7.    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
      THE UNC ACQUISITION
      On February 13, 1997, Greenwich entered into an agreement and plan of
      reorganization with UNC Incorporated ("UNC") whereby Greenwich would (a)
      acquire all of the outstanding shares of UNC's common stock and common
      stock equivalents for a purchase price of between $14.00 and $16.10 per
      share to be paid in Greenwich Class B common stock and/or cash, and (b)
      merge UNC with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenwich. This
      proposed acquisition, which is subject to certain shareholder approvals
      and regulatory clearances, was estimated to have a value of between $310
      and $355 million, depending upon the trading price of Greenwich Class B
      common stock immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition. On March
      9, 1997, concurrently with the agreement described below, the UNC
      acquisition agreement was restructured as an all-cash transaction at
      $15.00 per share with a value of approximately $330 million.

      THE GE MERGER
      On March 9, 1997, Greenwich entered into an agreement and plan of merger
      with General Electric Company ("GE") whereby GE would (a) acquire all of
      the outstanding shares of Greenwich's common stock and common stock
      equivalents for a purchase price of $31.00 per share to be paid in GE
      common stock and/or cash, and (b) merge Greenwich with and into a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of GE. This proposed merger, which is also subject
      to certain shareholder approvals and regulatory clearances, is estimated
      to have a value of approximately $530 million.

      The Company announced on April 28, 1997 that the Antitrust Division of the
      Department of Justice had requested additional information relating to (a)
      the proposed acquisition of Greenwich by General Electric Company ("GE"),
      and (b) the proposed acquisition of UNC Incorporated ("UNC") by Greenwich
      (or by GE, if the GE acquisition of Greenwich has been completed). On July
      1, 1997, the Company submitted its response to this request from the
      Department of Justice. On August 11, 1997, the Federal Trade Commission
      announced that the Department of Justice had approved the acquisition of
      UNC by either Greenwich or GE.

      In May, 1997, the Company was advised that Southwest Airlines Company had
      signed a letter of intent to enter into a long-term agreement with General
      Electric Engine Services, Inc. for the repair and overhaul of its CFM56
      and JT8D engines, commencing in the second half of calendar 1997.
      Greenwich had been servicing a portion of those engines under an agreement
      with Southwest which expired at the end of 1996, and which had been
      renewed on an interim basis pending the results of competitive bidding for
      a new long-term agreement. In fiscal 1996, Southwest Airlines was one of
      the Company's five largest customers, but accounted for less than 5% of
      the Company's revenues. The Company does not believe that the loss of the
      Southwest contracts will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
      operations.

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

           FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 121.2% to a record
$220.4 million from third quarter 1996 sales of $99.6 million. The increase in
net sales was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a full quarter of the
operations of the commercial engine services operations in Texas and Scotland
acquired from Aviall, Inc. on June 10, 1996, versus less than one month of
operations in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Also as a result of the Aviall
acquisition, revenues from both commercial aviation engine services and
government programs work were higher in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 than in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Revenues from aeroderivative engine services,
which includes power station installations, were lower for the third quarter of
1997 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996, however these revenues
were not affected by the acquisition.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $26.3 million, or
11.9% of net sales, from $12.7 million, or 12.7% of net sales, for the same
period last year, primarily as a result of the increase in net sales for the
period. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily the
result of work performed under certain long-term contracts assumed from Aviall
that have not been generating margins as high as the Company's pre-acquisition
operations, as well as a shift in product mix. Gross profit margins for the
former Aviall operations in Texas and Scotland have been, and are expected to
continue improving as the Company completes its integration plan, which is
engineered to increase productivity, reduce turnaround times and eliminate
duplicative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal
1997 increased to $9.7 million, or 4.4% of net sales, from $5.4 million, or 5.4%
of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The reduction in selling,
general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales is primarily
attributed to savings realized from the elimination of duplicative expenses as a
result of the integration plan.

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $8.1 million,
or 3.7% of net sales, from $2.8 million, or 2.8% of net sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily due to the increase in outstanding borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and the
issuance of the Senior Notes.

Other non-operating expenses for the third quarter decreased to ($0.7) million
as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company's
holdings in Scotland.

As a result of the above factors, net income increased 104.9% to $5.6 million,
or 2.5% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, from $2.7 million, or
2.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Third quarter fiscal
1997 primary earnings per share increased to $0.33, as compared to $0.20 for the
third quarter of fiscal 1996; and fully diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.33 per share versus $0.19 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The
number of primary and fully diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased by 22.6% and 18.3%, respectively, as compared to the third
quarter of fiscal 1996.

<PAGE>


NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Net sales increased $390.8 million or 179.1% to a record $609.0 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 1997 from $218.2 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the
inclusion of the operations of the commercial engine services operations in
Texas and Scotland acquired from Aviall, Inc., as well as internal growth.
Principally as a result of that acquisition, revenues from both commercial
aviation engine services and government programs work were higher in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 than in the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Revenues from aeroderivative engine services, which includes power station
installations, were also higher for the first nine months of 1997 when compared
to the first nine months of fiscal 1996, although these revenues were not
affected by the acquisition.

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased to $75.4
million, or 12.4% of net sales, from $31.4 million or 14.4% of net sales for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in net
sales for the period. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales is
primarily the result of work performed under certain long-term contracts assumed
from Aviall that have not been generating margins as high as the Company's
pre-acquisition operations, as well as a shift in product mix. Gross profit
margins for the former Aviall operations in Texas and Scotland have been, and
are expected to continue improving as the Company completes its integration
plan, which is engineered to increase productivity, reduce turnaround times and
eliminate duplicative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 increased to $26.3 million, or 4.3% of net sales, from $13.2 million, or
6.0% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The reduction in
selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributed to savings realized from the elimination of duplicative
expenses as a result of the integration plan.

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased to $22.4
million, or 3.7% of net sales, from $6.4 million or 2.9% of net sales for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996, primarily due to the increase in outstanding
borrowings under the Credit Facility and the issuance of the Senior Notes.
Partially offsetting this increase in long term debt was the conversion into
stock of all of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures outstanding in the first
nine months of fiscal 1996.

As a result of the above factors, net income increased to a record $16.7
million, or 2.7% of net sales for the first nine months of 1997, from $7.1
million, or 3.3% of net sales for the first nine months of 1996. Fully diluted
earnings per share increased more than 81.5% to $0.98 per share for the first
nine months of 1997 from $0.54 per share for the same period in 1996.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Total assets at June 30, 1997 were $716.7 million, a $91.7 million net increase
from the September 30, 1996 total of $625.1 million. The major components of
this net increase were (a) a $53.8 million increase in inventories and (b) a
$29.1 million increase in accounts receivable balances. The increase in
inventory levels was primarily due to a $34.2 million increase in work in
process and a $19.6 million increase in parts inventory as a result of a greater
number of JT8D and CF6 engines in work. The increase in accounts receivable was
primarily attributable to the higher level of sales in the quarter.

Total liabilities at June 30, 1997 were $558.3 million, a $72.3 million net
increase from the September 30, 1996 total of $486.0 million. The major
components of this net increase were (a) a $78 million increase in


                                       10

borrowings under the Credit Facility and (b) an $8.4 million increase in
customer deposits and deferred revenue. Partially offsetting these increases
were (a) a net $8.9 million reduction in combined accrued expenses and other
long-term liabilities; (b) a $2.5 million reduction in the outstanding balance
of the Company's Debentures, resulting from the conversion of these debentures
into approximately 430,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock; and (c)
a $1.8 million reduction in deferred income taxes.

Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 1997 was $158.4 million, a $19.4 million
increase from the September 30, 1996 total of $139.0 million. This increase was
primarily due to net income for the nine months of $16.7 million, along with the
conversion of $2.5 million of the Company's Debentures into Class A common stock
since September 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since the consummation of the Aviall Acquisition, the Company's primary sources
of liquidity have been cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit
Facility. In addition, other sources of liquidity have been advance payments for
power station installations and other customer progress payments. Since
September 30, 1996, the Company has borrowed approximately $78.0 million
additional under the Credit Facility in order to support work in process
inventories, purchase additional parts inventory and aircraft engines required
to service certain customers under new and existing contracts, and to fund
expenditures related to the growth in the Company's business. Working capital
was $329.0 million at June 30, 1997, as compared with $273.6 million at
September 30, 1996. As of June 30, 1997 there was approximately $137.2 million
outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the Company may be required to borrow
additional amounts under the Credit Facility in the near future in order to fund
current asset increases in support of business growth, fund further integration
expenses, and satisfy interest payment and debt service obligations under the
Senior Notes and other long term debt agreements.

Based upon current levels of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow
from operations, combined with borrowings available under the Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its normal cash operating
requirements, including scheduled interest and principal payments. However, if
the Company's operations continue to expand in the future as they have in the
first nine months of fiscal 1997, an increase in the maximum borrowing capacity
under the Credit Facility will be required for capital expenditures and working
capital requirements.

If the proposed merger with GE is not completed, the Company intends to proceed
with the proposed acquisition of UNC under the terms and conditions of the
original merger agreement with UNC. The Company will seek to finance the UNC
acquisition through the issuance of shares of Class B common stock in exchange
for UNC shares and through public offerings of additional stock and/or debt, as
well as senior bank financing. There can be no assurance that such financings or
the UNC acquisition will be consummated on terms attractive to the Company, if
at all.
