                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1. The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
   Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
   Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
   disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
   with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
   pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that
   the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
   misleading.  In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to
   present fairly the financial position of Commander Aircraft Company as of
   June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations for the
   three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows 
   for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been included and
   are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim
   periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. It
   is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
   with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as incorporated by
   reference in the Company's filing of this Form 10-Q.

2. The earnings per share of common stock was computed by using the weighted
   average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

3. Through March 6, 1995, the Company's majority shareholder, and an affiliate
   of the shareholder, purchased $1,075,000 in subordinated debentures at 10%
   interest, payable in arrears, with principal due September 30, 1996. On March
   7, 1995, the Company accepted the offer of its majority shareholder, and an
   affiliate of the shareholder, to exchange $6,4000,000 of subordinated debt
   for 640,000 shares of newly issued common stock at $10 per share. The payment
   of accrued interest related to this debt in 1995 of $106,764 was waived at
   the time of the exchange of common stock.

4. On February 6, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Will Rogers
   Bank of Oklahoma City, for a line of credit in the amount of $600,000,
   secured by specific aircraft to supplant working capital and to purchase pre-
   owned aircraft to be refurbished and sold.

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


GENERAL:

The Company reported sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1996 of $2,854,804 and $4,317,734, respectively.  Sales for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1995 were $2,492,517 and $5,815,487, respectively.
The net loss from operations for the quarter was $899,650, or $0.13 per share,
compared to a net loss from operations of $445,994, or $0.07 per share in the
comparable period of fiscal 1995.  The net loss from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,894,099, or $.28 per share, while the net loss
from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $842,070, or $.13 per
share.  Lower sales revenue in the first half of 1996 versus the comparable
period of 1995 is due to the unusually large number of aircraft delivered in the
first quarter of 1995, which comprised 40% of total 1995 aircraft sales.


RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS:

Revenues from the sale of aircraft were $2,499,259 and $3,777,246, for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  The Company
reported sales of aircraft of $2,184,130 and $5,179,135 during the second
quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively.  Two pre-owned aircraft were
sold in the second quarter of 1996, and a total of three pre-owned aircraft were
sold during the first six months of 1996.  No pre-owned aircraft were sold in
the second quarter or first six months of 1995.

Service revenues increased in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to $355,545 from
$308,387 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, due to increased spare parts sales
and refurbishment work.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 service revenues
decreased to $540,488 from $636,352 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
decrease in service revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, was
due to an unusually large amount of service center billings that occurred in the
first quarter of 1995 resulting from retrofitting air conditioning systems.

Cost of aircraft sales increased for the three month period ended June 30, 1996
to $2,451,946 from $1,832,525 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 due
to an increase in number of aircraft sold during the quarter and an increase in
unit production cost due to lower production levels in 1996.  Cost of aircraft
sales for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased to $3,756,898
compared to $4,325,592 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. This
decrease was due primarily to fewer units sold in 1996.

Cost of sales for aircraft service increased to $264,685 for the three month
period ended June  30, 1996 from $248,565 for the three month period ended June
30, 1995 due to the increased level of business.  For the six months ended June
30, 1996, cost of sales for aircraft service increased to $485,235 from $451,054
for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Product development and engineering costs decreased to $94,236 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 from $172,807 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, product development and engineering costs
decreased to $180,944 from $302,385 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
decreased cost was due to the completion of engineering efforts expended for FAA
certification of the Commander 114TC in 1995.
<PAGE>
 
Sales and marketing expense was $701,796 and $1,363,774 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  For the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1995 sales and marketing expense was $653,617 and  $1,289,500,
respectively.  The increase over the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 was due to the expansion of sales offices and an increase in sales
personnel in 1996.

General and administrative costs increased to $252,833 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 from $206,416 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The increase
was due to increased legal fees.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, general and administrative costs totaled $481,665 and $445,127,
respectively.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, other income totaled
$100,342 and $222,311, respectively, which consisted primarily of interest
earned on notes receivable and on short-term investments in cash funds.  For the
comparable periods in 1995, other income totaled $179,700 and $268,199,
respectively.  A concession of approximately $77,300 was received in the second
quarter ended June 30, 1995 relating to the renegotiation of prices on an
advertising contract.

Interest expense, comprised primarily of interest on short term notes, for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $89,300 and $155,481,
respectively.  Interest expense for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1995 totaled $1,575 and $108,338, primarily consisting of interest accrued
on the subordinated debentures prior to the exchange for common stock on March
7, 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Total inventories decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1996 by $744,440
and decreased $687,138 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  For the three
months ended June 30, 1996, parts and work in process inventories decreased
$574,509 while new and used aircraft and demonstrator aircraft inventory
decreased  $169,931.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, parts and
work in process inventories decreased $483,325  while finished aircraft and
demonstrator aircraft inventory decreased $203,813.

Accounts receivable increased from $37,475 at March 31, 1996 to $53,176 at June
30, 1996 due to an increase in parts sold on account.  Accounts receivable
decreased $214,056 from $267,232 at December 31, 1995 as payments were received
in January for balances on new aircraft.

Notes receivable from related parties at June 30, 1996 decreased $344,946 from
March 31, 1996, and decreased $1,152,948 from the balance due December 31, 1995.
Notes receivable as of June 30, 1996 include four aircraft sold by the Company
to non-affiliates.  The Company has agreed to finance three aircraft in
consideration for notes with terms ranging from 8 to 10 years at competitive
interest rates with principal and interest payments due monthly.

Accounts payable decreased to $528,269 at June 30, 1996 from $1,357,660 at
December 31, 1995, a decrease of $829,391 due primarily to a decrease in
procurement of inventory.

Short term notes payable to Will Rogers Bank for used aircraft financing and
working capital totaled $402,600 compared to $247,000 at March 31, 1996. The
line, established in February 1996, provides up to $600,000 in short term
credit.
