KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
       accounts of Kellstrom Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
       "Company") after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
       These statements have been prepared by the Company without audit,
       pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
       Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
       December 31, 1997 has been derived from audited financial statements. In
       order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles, management has made a number of estimates
       and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and
       liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual
       results could differ from those estimates. 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 of the SEC.
       These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
       conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
       the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

       In the opinion of management of the Company, the condensed consolidated
       financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of
       normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed
       consolidated financial position of Kellstrom Industries, Inc. and its
       subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the condensed consolidated results
       of earnings for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
       1997 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the
       three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of
       operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
       results for the full year.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

       On April 1, 1998, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
       Integrated Technology Holdings Corp., completed the acquisition of
       substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
       privately held Integrated Technology Corp. ("ITC") for approximately
       $20.2 million in cash plus an earn-out payable over a three-year period
       based on certain specified criteria. In addition, the Company received a
       three-year option to purchase a 49% interest in an related FAA-approved
       overhaul facility. The Company funded the purchase from its current
       banking facility. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
       method of accounting for business combinations and accordingly, the
       operating results have been included since the date of acquisition.

       On June 17, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Aerocar
       Aviation Corp. and Aerocar Parts, Inc., (collectively "Aerocar") for
       approximately $44.3 million in cash, warrants to purchase an aggregate of
       250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable at $26.00 per
       share, plus an additional $5.0 million payable within a two-year period
       after closing either in cash, or at the option of the Company, in shares
       of common stock having an equivalent value as of the date of the
       acquisition. The Company funded the cash portion of this acquisition with
       a portion of the proceeds from its secondary public offering. The
       acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for
       business combinations and accordingly, the operating results have been
       included since the date of acquisition.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Subsequent to
       the effective date, all prior period earnings per share data presented
       will be restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128. Basic
       and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

       Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
       Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires that all items recognized
       under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
       reported in an annual financial statement that is displayed with the same
       prominence as other annual financial statements. The Company's total
       comprehensive income, comprised of unrealized gain/(loss) on investment
       securities, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
       1997 were as follows:

NOTE 5 - RECENT PUBLIC OFFERINGS

         In June 1998, the Company completed a secondary public offering of
2,750,000 shares of its common stock resulting in net proceeds of $67,358,522.
On July 2, 1998, the Company's underwriters exercised their overallotment option
to purchase an additional 412,500 shares of common stock at $26.00. The net
proceeds to the Company from this sale were $10,164,000. Proceeds of the
offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit
facility, to finance the Aerocar acquisition and for general corporate purposes.

         In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of $75,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003
(the "Notes"), resulting in net proceeds of $72,750,000. On July 2, 1998, the
Company's underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase an
additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The net proceeds to
the Company from this sale were $10,938,281. Proceeds of the offering were used
to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for
general corporate purposes.


NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS 132 standardizes the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to the extent practicable and
recommends a parallel format for presenting information about pensions and other
postretirement benefits. SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Management does not anticipate a significant impact of the
adoption of SFAS 132 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 requires companies to record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier adoption encouraged.
Management does not anticipate a significant impact of the adoption of SFAS 133
on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.


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

         The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere herein.

         This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to
the Company's business, financial condition and




                                       10
<PAGE>   11

results of operations. The words "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such
forward-looking statements, including those described below. Investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

         On April 1, 1998, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Integrated Technology Holdings Corp., completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of privately held Integrated
Technology Corp. ("ITC") for approximately $20.2 million in cash plus an
earn-out payable over a three-year period based on certain specified criteria.
In addition, the Company received a three-year option to purchase a 49% interest
in a related FAA-approved overhaul facility. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and
accordingly, the operating results have been included since the date of
acquisition. The Company funded the purchase from its current banking facility.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Aerocar
Aviation Corp. and Aerocar Parts Inc., (collectively "Aerocar") for
approximately $44.3 million in cash, warrants to purchase an aggregate of
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable at $26.00 per share,
plus an additional $5.0 million payable within a two-year period after closing,
either in cash, or at the option of the Company, in shares of common stock
having an equivalent value as of the date of the acquisition. The acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations and accordingly, the operating results have been included since the
date of acquisition. The Company funded the cash portion of this acquisition
with a portion of the proceeds of its secondary public offering.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company completed a secondary public offering of
2,750,000 shares of common stock at $26.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds
of $67,358,522. On July 2, 1998, the Company's underwriters exercised their
overallotment option to purchase an additional 412,500 shares of common stock at
$26.00. The net proceeds to the Company from this sale were $10,164,000.
Proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under its
revolving credit facility, to finance the Aerocar acquisition and for general
corporate purposes.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company completed an underwritten public offering
of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2003 (the "Notes"), resulting in net proceeds of $72,750,000. On July
2, 1998, the Company's underwriters exercised their overallotment option to
purchase an additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The net
proceeds to the Company from this sale were $10,938,281. Proceeds of the
offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit
facility and for general corporate purposes.

         The Company has only a limited operating history upon which an
evaluation of the Company and its prospects can be based. Although the Company
has historically experienced increasing net sales and operating results, the
Company may experience significant fluctuations in its gross margins and
operating results in the future, both on an annual and a quarterly basis, caused
by various factors, including general economic conditions, specific economic
conditions in the commercial aviation industry, the availability, package size
and price of surplus aviation material, the size and timing of customer orders,
returns by and allowances to customers and the cost of acquisitions and capital
to the Company. In a strategic response to a changing, competitive environment,
the Company may elect from time to time to make certain pricing, product or
marketing decisions, and any such decisions could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's periodic results of operations, including net sales and net
income from quarter to quarter. A large portion of the Company's operating
expenses are relatively fixed. Since the Company typically 



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

does not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from its customers with
respect to the sale of engines or engine parts, it must anticipate the future
volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of its customers
and upon its discussions with its customers as to their future requirements.
Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Therefore, comparisons of recent net sales and operating results of the Company
should not be taken as indicative of the results of operations that can be
expected in the future. There can be no assurance that the net sales and
operating results of the Company will continue at their current levels or will
grow, or that the Company will be able to achieve sustained profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

         Net sales of aircraft and engine parts increased by 81% to $30,177,845
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $16,650,131 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in net sales of aircraft and
engine parts was primarily due to (i) internal growth of sales of approximately
$3,600,000 primarily due to additional inventory availability as a result of the
Company's increased capital resources, and (ii) incremental sales of
approximately $9,900,000 related to the acquisitions of the Aero Support and ITC
operations.

         Rental revenues increased by 507% to $7,885,272 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $1,299,779 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in rental revenues was primarily due to (i) the Company's
continued expansion into the short-term leasing business through purchases of
individual leased assets resulting in increased rental revenues of approximately
$5,300,000, and (ii) incremental rental revenues of approximately $1,300,000
related to the acquisition of the ITC operations.

         Cost of goods sold increased by 85% to $20,325,614 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $10,962,783 for the three months ended June
30, 1997; however, the gross profit margin decreased to 32.6% in 1998 from 34.2%
in 1997. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to increased sales
volume driven by internal sales growth and the acquisitions of Aero Support and
ITC. The decrease in the gross profit margin was primarily due to the mix of
product sales which resulted in a lower gross profit margin. However, despite
the decrease in the gross profit margin during the second quarter of 1998, the
gross profit margin remains in the range of the Company's historical gross
profit margin.

         Depreciation of equipment under operating leases increased by 388% to
$4,120,927 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $844,856
for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in depreciation of
equipment under operating leases was primarily due to (i) the Company's
continued expansion into the short-term leasing business through purchases of
individual leased assets resulting in increased depreciation expense of
approximately $2,500,000, and (ii) incremental depreciation of approximately
$750,000 related to the leased assets acquired from the ITC operation.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 126% to
$4,320,998 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,914,440
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, which resulted in an increase as a
percentage of total revenues to 11.4% in 1998 from 10.7% in 1997. The increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of (i)
expenses of approximately $1,300,000 related to the continuing operations of
Aero Support and ITC, and (ii) expenses 



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

of approximately $1,100,000 from the continued expansion of the Company's sales
and warehouse operations in order to support a higher level of revenue and a
corresponding greater number of whole engine and engine component transactions,
and the continued addition of marketing and management personnel necessary to
achieve and administer the revenue growth opportunities that are available due
to the Company's expanded level of inventory investment. The Company expects
selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase due to the
Company's growth plans and need for additional personnel and facilities to
support the Company's operations.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 90% to $668,079 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $351,279 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, which resulted in a decrease as a percentage of
total revenues to 1.8% in 1998 from 2.0% in 1997. The increase in depreciation
and amortization expense is primarily the result of amortization of goodwill
related to the Aero Support and ITC acquisitions.

         Interest expense (net of interest income) increased by 249% to
$2,765,934 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $791,764 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to (i) interest expense and related costs of approximately
$775,000 from the $17,300,000 and $20,225,000 of debt related to the
acquisitions of Aero Support and ITC, respectively, (ii) amortization of
deferred financing costs of approximately $285,000, and (iii) increased
borrowings by the Company during 1998 necessary to expand the Company's
inventory levels which resulted in approximately $915,000 of interest expense.
The Company expects interest expense to continue to increase as the Company
continues to expand its inventory levels and facilities to support future growth
in operations and completes acquisitions funded by debt. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company's operations will expand or that it will
complete any material acquisitions.

         Provision for income taxes increased 91% to $2,180,501 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,143,574 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, which resulted in a slight increase as a percentage of income
before income taxes of 37.2% in 1998 from 37.1% in 1997. The increase in income
taxes is due to higher levels of pre-tax income for the three months ended June
30, 1998. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate
primarily due to state income taxes offset by the use of the foreign sales
corporation.

         Net income increased by 90% to $3,681,064 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,941,214 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Basic earnings per common share increased by 62% to $0.42 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $0.26 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. Diluted earnings per common share increased by 55% to $0.34 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $0.22 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

         Net sales of aircraft and engine parts increased by 73% to $55,513,541
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $32,109,047 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in net sales of aircraft and engine
parts was primarily due to (i) internal growth of sales of approximately
$7,900,000 primarily due to additional inventory availability as a result of the
Company's increased capital resources, and (ii) incremental sales of
approximately $15,500,000 related to the acquisitions of the Aero Support and
ITC operations.

         Rental revenues increased by 405% to $11,640,147 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $2,306,936 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in rental revenues was primarily due to (i) the Company's
continued expansion into the short-term leasing business through 


                                       13
<PAGE>   14


purchases of individual leased assets resulting in increased rental revenues of
approximately $8,000,000 and (ii) incremental rental revenues of approximately
$1,300,000 related to the acquisition of the ITC operations.

         Cost of goods sold increased by 76% to $36,993,778 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $21,035,115 for the six months ended June 30,
1997; the gross profit margin decreased to 33.4% in 1998 from 34.5% in 1997. The
increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to increased sales volume
across all product lines. The decrease in the gross profit margin was primarily
due to the mix of product sales during the first six months of 1998, resulting
in a lower gross profit margin. However, despite the slight decrease in the
gross profit margin during the first six months of 1998, the gross profit margin
remains in the range of the Company's historical gross profit margin.

         Depreciation of equipment under operating leases increased by 311% to
$6,164,083 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $1,499,509
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in depreciation of
equipment under operating leases was primarily due to (i) the Company's
continued expansion into the short-term leasing business through purchases of
individual leased assets resulting in increased depreciation of approximately
$3,900,000, and (ii) incremental depreciation of $750,000 related to the
acquisition of the ITC operations.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 110% to
$7,754,953 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $3,684,769 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, which resulted in an increase as a
percentage of total revenues to 11.5% in 1998 from 10.7% in 1997. The increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of (i)
expenses of approximately $2,000,000 related to the continuing operations of
Aero Support and ITC, and (ii) expenses of approximately $2,100,000 from the
continued expansion of the Company's sales and warehouse operations in order to
support a higher level of revenue and a corresponding greater number of whole
engine and engine component transactions, and the continued addition of
marketing and management personnel necessary to achieve and administer the
revenue growth opportunities that are available due to the Company's expanded
level of inventory investment. The Company expects selling, general and
administrative expenses to continue to increase due to the Company's growth
plans and need for additional personnel and facilities to support the Company's
operations.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 97% to $1,261,302
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with $640,158 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, which resulted in depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of total revenues remaining flat at 1.9% for 1998 and 1997. The
increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of
amortization of goodwill related to the Aero Support and ITC acquisitions.

         Interest expense (net of interest income) increased by 141% to
$4,403,888 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,827,622 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to (i) interest expense and related costs of approximately
$1,500,000 from the $17,300,000 and $20,225,000 of debt related to the
acquisitions of Aero Support and ITC, and (ii) amortization of deferred
financing costs of approximately $532,000, and (iii) increased borrowings by the
Company during 1998 necessary to expand the Company's inventory levels which
resulted in approximately $544,000 of interest expense. The Company expects
interest expense to continue to increase as the Company continues to expand its
inventory levels and facilities to support future growth in operations and
completes acquisitions funded by debt. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company's operations will expand or that it will complete any material
acquisitions.

         Provision for income taxes increased 86% to $3,953,010 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $2,128,228 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, which resulted in a slight increase as 


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

a percentage of income before income taxes of 37.4% in 1998 from 37.2% in 1997.
The increase in income taxes is due to higher levels of pre-tax income for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective tax rate differs from
the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes offset by the use of the
foreign sales corporation.

         Net income increased by 84% to $6,622,674 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $3,600,582 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Basic
earnings per common share increased by 49% to $0.79 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $0.53 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Diluted earnings per common share increased by 50% to $0.63 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $0.42 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

         As of June 30, 1998, the Company's liquidity and capital resources
included cash and cash equivalents of $2,049,912 and working capital of
$89,923,084. As of June 30, 1998, total outstanding debt was $151,967,676 as
compared to $73,088,800 as of December 31, 1997. As of June 30, 1998, the
outstanding principal balance on the Company's convertible subordinated notes
was $129,000,000 and the Company had contractual lines of credit totaling
$100,000,000 of which $92,758,997 was available.

         Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was $56,506,907 as compared to $577,212 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The primary uses of cash for operating activities during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 were due to (i) purchases of equipment under
operating leases of $48,581,682, and (ii) an increase in inventory and trade
receivables which amounted to $25,015,135. The primary sources of cash for
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were due to an
increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,552,028, coupled
with net income of $6,622,674 and total depreciation and amortization of
$7,958,341.

         Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was $68,112,454 compared to $24,972,248 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The primary uses of cash for investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 related to (i) the purchases of ITC and Aerocar for an
aggregate of $64,755,257, and (ii) purchases of property, plant and equipment of
$4,067,276. The primary sources of cash for investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 related to proceeds from the sales of investment
securities of $710,079.

         Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $126,206,597 compared to $29,295,176 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The primary uses of cash for financing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 related to debt repayments of $11,092,021 and
payments of deferred financing costs of $2,813,058. The primary sources of cash
for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 related to net
proceeds from the sale of common stock of $67,358,522 and proceeds from the sale
of convertible subordinated notes of $72,750,000.

         On March 11, 1998, in order to expand its current credit facility, the
Company entered into a three year $100,000,000 revolving loan agreement with
Barnett Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corp. The loan
bears interest at 1/4% below Barnett Bank's prime rate (which was 8 1/4% at July
31, 1998), or at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 175 - 275 basis points. The
expanded credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company completed a secondary public offering of
2,750,000 shares of Common Stock at $26.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds
of $67,358,522. On July 2, 1998, the



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

Company's underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase an
additional 412,500 shares of Common Stock at $26.00. The net proceeds to the
Company from this sale were $10,164,000. Proceeds of the offering were used to
repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to finance the
Aerocar acquisition and for general corporate purposes.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company completed an underwritten public offering
of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, resulting in net proceeds of
$72,750,000. On July 2, 1998, the Company's underwriters exercised their
overallotment option to purchase an additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal
amount of Notes. The net proceeds to the Company from this sale were
$10,938,281. Proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings
under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's highest
utilization of its Barnett Bank $100,000,000 line of credit was $98,182,099. The
outstanding balance at June 30, 1998 on the Barnett Bank revolving credit
facility was $7,241,003.

         The Company plans to take advantage of growth opportunities that are
consistent with the Company's expansion and profit objectives. These growth
opportunities will require the investment of cash into inventory including jet
engines and jet engine parts. The Company believes that greater availability of
such inventory will better enable the Company to continue to increase its
revenues as well as to encourage the development of strategic relationships with
new customers. The Company intends to finance its inventory expansion program
through its credit facility, which were expanded in March 1998, proceeds from
the recently completed public offerings and through the employment of its cash
flows along with the management of trade credits. In the future, the Company may
require additional sources of capital to continue to fund its expansion.

         The Company believes that cash flow from operations, combined with the
Company's borrowing facilities should be sufficient for the Company's current
level of operations. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate the
expansion of its credit facility and to increase inventory purchases. However,
the Company may elect to seek equity capital in the future depending upon market
conditions and the needs of the Company.


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         The Company has developed plans to address any possible liability
related to the impact of the Year 2000 problem on its computer systems through a
conversion plan to be completed by the end of 1999. The Year 2000 problem is the
result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. The Company does not expect the financial impact of
making the required system changes to be material to the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows which are being funded
through operating cash flows. The Company is expensing all costs associated with
these systems changes as the costs are incurred.

         There can be no assurance that the Company's suppliers or vendors are
or will be Year 2000 compliant. Failure of any third-party enterprises with
which the Company interacts to achieve Year 2000 compliance could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

         In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS 132 standardizes the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to the extent practicable and
recommends a parallel format for presenting information about pensions and other
postretirement benefits. SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Management does not anticipate a significant impact of the
adoption of SFAS 132 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 requires companies to record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier adoption encouraged.
Management does not anticipate a significant impact of the adoption of SFAS 133
on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

Item 5.  Other Information

      PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS - UNAUDITED

      The consolidated combined statement of earnings of the Company for the six
      months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are based on historical financial
      statements of the Company and have been adjusted to reflect the
      acquisitions of Aero Support Holdings, Inc. ("Aero Support"), Integrated
      Technology Holdings Corp. ("ITHC"), and Aerocar Aviation Corp. and Aerocar
      Parts, Inc. (collectively "Aerocar") as though the companies had combined
      at the beginning of the periods being reported.

      The Company acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of
      Aero Support USA, Inc. on September 10, 1997, Integrated Technology Corp.
      on April 1, 1998, and Aerocar Aviation Corp. and Aerocar Parts, Inc. on
      June 17, 1998. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings
      do not purport to be indicative of results that would have occurred had
      the acquisition been in effect for the periods presented, nor do they
      purport to be indicative of the results that will be obtained in the
      future. The pro forma consolidated combined financial information is based
      on certain assumptions and adjustments described in the notes hereto and
      should be read in conjunction therewith.

      The following pro forma consolidated combined statement of earnings for
      the six months ended June 30, 1997 reflect the effect of the Company's
      recent secondary public offerings of common stock and convertible
      subordinated notes.

                           KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC.

               WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK


No. AAC-1                                                         187,500 Shares


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Kellstrom Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby certifies that Carmel Shashua (the "Purchaser") or his
permitted assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from
time to time commencing on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and prior
to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 17, 2001, One Hundred Eighty Seven
Thousand Five Hundred (187,500) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company for an aggregate
purchase price of $4,875,000 (computed on the basis of $26.00 per share).
(Hereinafter, (i) said common stock, together with any other equity securities
which may be issued by the Company with respect thereto or in substitution
therefor, is referred to as the "Common Stock," (ii) the shares of the Common
Stock purchasable hereunder or under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined)
are referred to individually as a "Warrant Share" and collectively as the
"Warrant Shares," (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant
Shares hereunder is referred to as the "Aggregate Warrant Price," (iv) the price
payable for each of the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the "Per
Share Warrant Price," (v) this Warrant, and all Warrants hereafter issued in
exchange or substitution for this Warrant or such similar Warrants are referred
to as the "Warrants" and (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the
"Holder" and the holder of this Warrant and all other Warrants or Warrant Shares
issued upon the exercise of any Warrant are referred to as the "Holders.") The
Aggregate Warrant Price is not subject to adjustment. The Per Share Warrant
Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided; in the event of any such
adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by dividing the
Aggregate Warrant Price by the Per Share Warrant Price in effect immediately
after such adjustment.

         1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, beginning on the Commencement Date and prior
to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 17, 2001. Exercise of this Warrant by
the Holder shall be made by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription
form at the end hereof, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, duly




<PAGE>   2



executed) at the address set forth in Subsection 11(a) hereof, together with
proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part hereof
if this Warrant is exercised in part. Payment for Warrant Shares shall be made
by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company. If this
Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of
whole shares of the Common Stock, and the Holder is entitled to receive a new
Warrant covering the Warrant Shares which have not been exercised and setting
forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such
Warrant Shares. Upon such surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue
a certificate or certificates in the name of Holder (or any designee of the
Holder to whom the Warrant is transferred in accordance with Section 6 hereof)
for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any
fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay
to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share
(determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine), and (b) deliver the other securities and properties receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this
Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

         2. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES; LISTING. The Company agrees that,
prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company will at all times (a) have
authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or
delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock and other
securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer
and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal and (b)
if the Company hereafter lists its Common Stock on any national securities
exchange, keep the shares of the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.

         3. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION. (a) In case the Company shall hereafter
(i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Per Share Warrant Price
shall be adjusted so that the Holder upon the exercise hereof shall be entitled
to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Subsection 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in
the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.

                  (b) If, at any time or from time to time after the date of
this Warrant, the Company shall issue or distribute to the holders of shares of
Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, any other securities of the Company
or any cash, property or other assets (excluding a subdivision, combination or
reclassification, or dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock,
adjustment for which would be made pursuant to Subsection Common Stock,
adjustment for which


                                        2


<PAGE>   3



would be made pursuant to Subsection 3(a), and also excluding cash dividends or
cash distributions paid out of net profits legally available therefor and
accrued after the date hereof if the full amount thereof, together with the
value of other dividends and distributions made substantially concurrently
therewith or pursuant to a plan which includes payment thereof, is equivalent to
not more than a cumulative amount equal to 15% of the Company's net worth) (any
such nonexcluded event being herein called a "Special Dividend"), the Per Share
Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price then
in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current market
price of the Common Stock (defined as the average for the thirty consecutive
business days immediately prior to the record date of the daily closing price of
the Common Stock as reported by the national securities exchange upon which the
Common Stock is then listed or if not listed on any such exchange, the average
of the closing prices as reported by Nasdaq National Market, or if not then
listed on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the highest reported bid
and lowest reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or if not then publicly
traded, the fair market price as determined by the Company's Board of Directors)
less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board
of Directors) of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, securities or property, or
other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend applicable to one
share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be such then current
market price per share of Common Stock. An adjustment made pursuant to this
Subsection 3(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date of any
such Special Dividend.

                  (c) In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification,
or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or
in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any
exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the
Company), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive
on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that
the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be
made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of
this Warrant. The above provisions of this Subsection 3(c) shall similarly apply
to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers,
statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The issuer of any shares of stock or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this
Warrant shall be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the
Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said
provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder of the Warrants
not less than 15 days prior to such event. A


                                        3


<PAGE>   4



sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a
consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation
or merger for the foregoing purposes.

                  (d) No adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least $0.05 per share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments
which by reason of this Subsection 3(d) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; PROVIDED
FURTHER, however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 3 (other than this Subsection 3(d)) not later
than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
distribution to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything
in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled
to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition to those
required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable
in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of
rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

                  (e) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) declare
any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock, other than
a cash dividend subject to the first parenthetical in Subsection 3(b), (ii)
offer to the holders of shares of Common Stock any additional shares of Common
Stock, any securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock
or any rights to subscribe thereto, or (iii) propose a dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the
Holders of the Warrants not less than 15 days prior to the record distribution,
offer or subscription right or to vote on such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.

                  (f) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3, the Holder of any Warrant, thereafter surrendered for exercise shall
become entitled to receive shares or two or more classes of capital stock or
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of
Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a
written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly after such adjustment)
shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant
Price between or among shares or such classes of capital stock or shares of
Common Stock and other capital stock.

                  (g) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall take
any action affecting its Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company,
not otherwise described in any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 3,
then, if the failure to make any adjustment would in the reasonable opinion of
the Board of Directors of the Company have a materially adverse effect upon the
rights of the Holder of the Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or
other stock comprising a Warrant Share, or the Per Share Warrant Price, shall be
adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the
Company may in good faith determined to be equitable under the circumstances.



                                        4


<PAGE>   5



                  (h) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is adjusted as
provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder
of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly cause
its Chief Financial Officer to provide a notice to the Holder setting forth the
Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment
or the effect of such modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same.

         4. FULLY PAID STOCK; TAXES. The Company agrees that the shares of the
Common Stock, or any other capital stock, represented by each and every
certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall,
at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal,
and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that
the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company
further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all
Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in
respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or certificate therefor.

         5. REGISTRATION UNDER SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

                  (a) The Company agrees that if, at any time and from time to
time during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the
second anniversary of the date the Warrants are exercised in full, the Board of
Directors of the Company shall authorize the filing of a registration statement
(any such registration statement being hereinafter called a "Registration
Statement") under the Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or
Form S-8 or other form which does not include substantially the same information
as would be required in a form for the general registration of securities) in
connection with the proposed offer of any of its securities by the Company or
any of its stockholders, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Holder and
each of the Holders, if any, of other Warrants and/or Warrant Shares not
previously sold pursuant to this Section 5 that such Registration Statement will
be filed and that the Warrant Shares which are then held, and/or which may be
acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants, by the Holder and such Holders,
will, at the Holder's and such Holder's request, be included in such
Registration Statement, (ii) upon the written request of a Holder made within 15
days after the giving of such notice by the Company, include in the securities
covered by such Registration Statement all Warrant Shares which it has been so
requested to include, (iii) use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable and (iv) take all other
action necessary under any Federal or state law or regulation of any
governmental authority to permit all Warrant Shares which it has been so
requested to include in such Registration Statement to be sold or otherwise
disposed of, and will maintain such compliance with each such Federal and state
law and regulation of any governmental authority for the period necessary for
the Holder and such Holders to effect the proposed sale or other disposition.

                  (b) The Company agrees that if the Company shall not have
authorized the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Subsection 5(a)
hereof within one (1) year after the



                                        5


<PAGE>   6



Commencement Date, then at any time thereafter during the period ending on the
second anniversary of the date the Warrants are exercised in full, if the Holder
and/or the Holders of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares who or which shall hold not
less than 50% of the aggregate number of Warrants and Warrant Shares outstanding
at such time and not previously sold (the "Covered Warrant Shares") pursuant to
this Section 5 shall request that the Company file a registration statement
under the Act covering not less than 50% of the Covered Warrant Shares, the
Company will (i) promptly notify each Holder of the Warrants and each Holder of
Warrant Shares not so previously sold that such registration statement will be
filed and that the Warrant Shares which are then held, and/or may be acquired
upon exercise of the Warrants by the Holder and such Holders, will be included
in such registration statement at the Holder's and such Holders' request, (ii)
cause such registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") as soon as possible following such request and to
cover all Warrant Shares which it has been so requested to include, (iii) use
its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as
soon as practicable and (iv) take all other action necessary under any Federal
or state law or regulation of any governmental authority to permit all Warrant
Shares which it has been so requested to include in such registration statement
to be sold or otherwise disposed of, and will maintain such compliance with each
such Federal and state law and regulation of any government authority for the
period necessary for such Holder to effect the proposed sale or other
disposition. The Company shall be required to effect a registration or
qualification pursuant to this Subsection 5(b) on one occasion only; provided
that a request for registration shall not be deemed to constitute a registration
pursuant to this Subsection 5(b) if: (i) the conditions to closing specified in
the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with
such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of some act or omission
by the Holder; (ii) the Company voluntarily takes any action that would result
in the Holder not being able to sell such Warrant Shares covered thereby; (iii)
the Holder determines not to proceed following any delay imposed hereunder by
the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to such delay, the Holder shall not
have sold more than ninety percent (90%) of the Warrant Shares included in such
registration; or (iv) other than by action of the Holder, such registration does
not remain effective for ninety (90) days or more. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) if the Holder exercises its right to request that a registration
statement be filed pursuant to this Subsection 5(b) at a time when the Company
in good faith as evidenced by a Board resolution believes that a public offering
of Common Stock would materially impair a pending financing or other material
transaction of the Company, the Company shall have the right to defer filing a
Registration Statement hereunder for a period not to exceed 90 days or (b) in
lieu of causing a registration statement to be filed under this Section 5(b),
the Company may elect, by providing written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to
the Holder or Holders requesting registration within ten (10) days of the
Company's receiving such request, to repurchase from the requesting Holder or
Holders either (x) the Warrants relating to the Warrant Shares requested to be
registered, at a price per Warrant equal to the difference between the Market
Price per share of the Common Stock (as defined below) and the Per Share Warrant
Price or (y) if the Warrants relating to the Warrant Shares requested to be
registered had already been exercised, such Warrant Shares at a price per
Warrant Share equal to the Market Price per share of the Common Stock. As used
in this Section 5(b), the "Market Price per share of the Common Stock" shall
mean the average of the last sale price of the Common Stock, or if no last sale
price is reported, the average of the asked and bid prices of the Common Stock,
on the Nasdaq National Market or



                                        6

Nasdaq Small Cap Market, as applicable, for the 20 consecutive trading days
ending on the day prior to the delivery by the Holder or Holders of the request
for a registration statement pursuant to this Section 5(b). Any repurchase of
the Warrants or the Warrant Shares under this Section 5(b) shall be made within
30 days of the delivery by the Company of the Repurchase Notice.

                  (c) Whenever the Company is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5 to include Warrant Shares in a registration
statement, the Company shall (i) furnish each Holder of any such Warrant Shares
and each underwriter of such Warrant Shares with such copies of the prospectus,
including the preliminary prospectus, conforming to the Act (and such other
documents as each such Holder or each such underwriter may reasonably request)
in order to facilitate the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, (ii) use
its best efforts to register or qualify such Warrant Shares under the blue sky
laws (to the extent applicable) of such jurisdiction or laws (to the extent
applicable) of such jurisdiction or jurisdictions as the Holders of any such
Warrant Shares and each underwriter of Warrant Shares being sold by such Holders
shall reasonably request and (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable such Holders and such underwriters to
consummate the sale or distribution in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions in
which such Holders shall have reasonably requested that the Warrant Shares be
sold.

                  (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in
an offering pursuant to a registration statement under this Section 5 and to
each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or
underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective
date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement), and (ii) a "comfort" letter dated the effective date of
such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report
on the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement,
in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountant's letter with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities.

                  (e) The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement
with the managing underwriters selected by Holders holding 50% of the Covered
Warrant Shares requested to be included in a registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 5(b). Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing underwriters,
and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company
and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type as
used by the managing underwriters.

                  (f) The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection
with any registration statement or other action pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5, other than



                                        7


<PAGE>   8



underwriting discounts, applicable transfer taxes relating to the Warrant Shares
and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Holders of the Warrant Shares.

                  (g) In connection with any public offering by the Company
involving an underwriting of its securities effected pursuant to Section 5(a)
hereof, the Company shall not be required to include in such registration any
Warrant Shares held by the Holder unless the Holder agrees to the terms of the
underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing underwriter of such
offering, which agreement may require that the Warrant Shares be withheld from
the market by the Holders for a period of up to 180 days after the effective
date of the registration statement by which such public offering is being
effected (or such longer period as may be requested by any securities exchange
upon which the Common Stock is then listed). Furthermore, the Company shall be
obligated to include in such registration only the quantity of Warrant Shares,
if any, as will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, jeopardize the
success of the offering by the Company. If the managing underwriter for the
offering advises the Company in writing that the total amount of securities
sought to be registered by the Holders and other shareholders of the Company
having similar registration rights as of the date thereof (collectively, the
"Kellstrom Shareholders") exceeds the amount of securities that can be offered
without adversely affecting the offering by the Company, then the Company may
reduce the number of shares to be registered by the Company for the Kellstrom
Shareholders, including Warrant Shares, to a number satisfactory to such
managing underwriter. Any such reduction shall be pro rata, based upon the total
number of shares held by each Kellstrom Shareholder.

                  (h) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder
and any person or entity engaged by the Holder to sell the Holder's Warrant
Shares, and each person, if any, who controls such persons or entities within
the meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act") (collectively, a "Holder Indemnitee"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in
respect thereof) (joint or several) to which a Holder Indemnitee may become
subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings
or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (a "Violation"): (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the employment by the Company of
any device, scheme or artifice to defraud or the engagement by the Company in
any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a
fraud or deceit upon the purchasers of its securities pursuant to such
registration statement. The Company will also reimburse each Holder Indemnitee
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnitee in
connection with investigating, defending, and settling any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action.



                                        8


<PAGE>   9



         The indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 5(h) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable to
any Holder Indemnitee of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action (i) to the
extent that it arises solely out of or is based solely upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of the
Holder or any agent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or controlling person of either; or (ii) in the case of a sale
directly by the Holder (including a sale of such Warrant Shares through any
underwriter retained by such Holder to engage in a distribution solely on behalf
of such Holder), such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a
final or amended prospectus, and the Holder failed to deliver a copy of the
final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the
Warrant Shares to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability
in any case where such delivery is required by the Act.

                  (i) The Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its employees, officers, directors or persons who control the Company
within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, and each agent or underwriter for
the Company or any other person or entity engaged by the Company to sell the
Company's securities offered in the registration statement, or any of their
respective directors, officers, partners, agents, employees or control persons
(collectively, a "Company Indemnitee"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
Company Indemnitee may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereto) arise solely out of or are based solely
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that
such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use in
connection with such registration; and each Holder will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by a Company Indemnitee in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.

         The indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 5(i) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying
Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor, in the case of a
sale directly by the Company of its securities (including a sale of such
securities through any underwriter retained by the Company to engage in a
distribution solely on behalf of the Company), shall the Holder be liable to the
Company in any case in which such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and
corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and the Company failed to deliver a
copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the
sale of the securities to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or
liability in any case where such delivery is required by the Act.

                  (j) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Subsections 5(h) or (i) of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified



                                        9


<PAGE>   10



party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement
thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and,
to the extent the indemnifying part so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume and control the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying parties,
provide the an indemnified part shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests (as reasonably determined by either party) between such indemnified
party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The
failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under Subsection 5(h) or (i), respectively, to the extent
of such prejudice, but the failure to so deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under Subsection 5(h) or (i), respectively.

                           (ii) The obligations of the Company and the Holders
under Subsections 5(h) and (i), respectively, shall survive the completion of
any offering of Warrant Shares made pursuant to a registration under this
Agreement.

                           (iii) The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings
in respect thereof) referred to in Subsections 5(h) and (i) shall include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

                  (k) If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
Subsections 5(h) or (i) is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall be
entitled to contribution, except to the extent that contribution is not
permitted under Section 11(f) of the Act. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be
considered the parties' relative knowledge and access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity correct
and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate under the circumstances. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

                  (l) The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided in this Section 5, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights hereunder. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Section 5 and hereby
agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy
at law would be adequate.

be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and before

thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel selected by Holder copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to their
review and comments;

                           (iii) notify the Holder promptly (A) when the
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the
Commission for any amendments or supplements to the registration statement or
the prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for the purpose; (D) if, at any
time prior to the closing contemplated by an underwriting agreement entered into
in connection with such registration statement, that the representations and
warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and
correct in any material respect; (E) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Warrant
Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (F) of the happening of any event which makes
any statement made in the registration statement, the prospectus of or any
document incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect and
which requires the making of any changes in the registration statement, the
prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make
the statement therein not materially misleading;

                           (iv) make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement;

post-effective amendment to the registration statement, the related prospectus
or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Warrant
Shares, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading;

                           (vi) cause all Warrant Shares covered by the
registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which
identical securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the
Holder or the managing underwriters, if any;

                           (vii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer

information reasonably requested by any such representative, attorney or
accountant in connection with such registration; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any

such records, information or documents is required by court or administrative
order;

                           (x) if so required by the managing underwriter, not
sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purpose of, effect
any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of its equity securities
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such
securities during the ten days prior to and the 90 days after any underwritten

opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Company, is available. The Company
may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as he or it appears on the
Company's books at any time as the

Holder for all purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of a Warrant or his

hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the
registered holders of Warrants. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE OR SECURITIES LAWS
AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION
OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.


                           KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC.

               WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

No. AAC-2                                                          62,500 Shares

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Kellstrom Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby certifies that Rosa Shashua (the "Purchaser") or her
permitted assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from
time to time commencing on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and prior
to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 17, 2001, Sixty Two Thousand Five
Hundred (62,500) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock, $.001
par value per share, of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,625,000 (computed on the basis of $26.00 per share). (Hereinafter, (i) said
common stock, together with any other equity securities which may be issued by
the Company with respect thereto or in substitution therefor, is referred to as
the "Common Stock," (ii) the shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder or
under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined) are referred to individually as
a "Warrant Share" and collectively as the "Warrant Shares," (iii) the aggregate
purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the
"Aggregate Warrant Price," (iv) the price payable for each of the Warrant Shares
hereunder is referred to as the "Per Share Warrant Price," (v) this Warrant, and
all Warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or
such similar Warrants are referred to as the "Warrants" and (vi) the holder of
this Warrant is referred to as the "Holder" and the holder of this Warrant and
all other Warrants or Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant are
referred to as the "Holders.") The Aggregate Warrant Price is not subject to
adjustment. The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided; in the event of any such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares
shall be adjusted by dividing the Aggregate Warrant Price by the Per Share
Warrant Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

         1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, beginning on the Commencement Date and prior
to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 17, 2001. Exercise of this Warrant by
the Holder shall be made by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription
form at the end hereof, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, duly executed) at the
address set forth in Subsection 11(a) hereof, together with proper payment of
the 







<PAGE>   2

Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part hereof if this Warrant is
exercised in part. Payment for Warrant Shares shall be made by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company. If this Warrant is
exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of whole shares
of the Common Stock, and the Holder is entitled to receive a new Warrant
covering the Warrant Shares which have not been exercised and setting forth the
proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant
Shares. Upon such surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue a
certificate or certificates in the name of Holder (or any designee of the Holder
to whom the Warrant is transferred in accordance with Section 6 hereof) for the
largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional
share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the
Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share
(determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine), and (b) deliver the other securities and properties receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this
Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

         2. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES; LISTING. The Company agrees that,
prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company will at all times (a) have
authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or
delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock and other
securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer
and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal and (b)
if the Company hereafter lists its Common Stock on any national securities
exchange, keep the shares of the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.

         3. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION. (a) In case the Company shall hereafter
(i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Per Share Warrant Price
shall be adjusted so that the Holder upon the exercise hereof shall be entitled
to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Subsection 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in
the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.

                  (b) If, at any time or from time to time after the date of
this Warrant, the Company shall issue or distribute to the holders of shares of
Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, any other securities of the Company
or any cash, property or other assets (excluding a subdivision, combination or
reclassification, or dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock,
adjustment for which would be made pursuant to Subsection Common Stock,
adjustment for which would be made pursuant to Subsection 3(a), and also
excluding cash dividends or cash distributions






                                       2

<PAGE>   3

paid out of net profits legally available therefor and accrued after the date
hereof if the full amount thereof, together with the value of other dividends
and distributions made substantially concurrently therewith or pursuant to a
plan which includes payment thereof, is equivalent to not more than a cumulative
amount equal to 15% of the Company's net worth) (any such nonexcluded event
being herein called a "Special Dividend"), the Per Share Warrant Price shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price then in effect by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current market price of the
Common Stock (defined as the average for the thirty consecutive business days
immediately prior to the record date of the daily closing price of the Common
Stock as reported by the national securities exchange upon which the Common
Stock is then listed or if not listed on any such exchange, the average of the
closing prices as reported by Nasdaq National Market, or if not then listed on
the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the highest reported bid and lowest
reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or if not then publicly traded, the
fair market price as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) less the
fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors) of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, securities or property, or
other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend applicable to one
share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be such then current
market price per share of Common Stock. An adjustment made pursuant to this
Subsection 3(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date of any
such Special Dividend.

                  (c) In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification,
or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or
in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any
exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the
Company), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive
on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that
the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be
made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of
this Warrant. The above provisions of this Subsection 3(c) shall similarly apply
to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers,
statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The issuer of any shares of stock or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this
Warrant shall be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the
Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said
provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder of the Warrants
not less than 15 days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities
shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4


                  (d) No adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least $0.05 per share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments
which by reason of this Subsection 3(d) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; PROVIDED
FURTHER, however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 3 (other than this Subsection 3(d)) not later
than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
distribution to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything
in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled
to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition to those
required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable
in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of
rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

                  (e) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) declare
any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock, other than
a cash dividend subject to the first parenthetical in Subsection 3(b), (ii)
offer to the holders of shares of Common Stock any additional shares of Common
Stock, any securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock
or any rights to subscribe thereto, or (iii) propose a dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the
Holders of the Warrants not less than 15 days prior to the record distribution,
offer or subscription right or to vote on such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.

                  (f) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3, the Holder of any Warrant, thereafter surrendered for exercise shall
become entitled to receive shares or two or more classes of capital stock or
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of
Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a
written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly after such adjustment)
shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant
Price between or among shares or such classes of capital stock or shares of
Common Stock and other capital stock.

                  (g) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall take
any action affecting its Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company,
not otherwise described in any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 3,
then, if the failure to make any adjustment would in the reasonable opinion of
the Board of Directors of the Company have a materially adverse effect upon the
rights of the Holder of the Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or
other stock comprising a Warrant Share, or the Per Share Warrant Price, shall be
adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the
Company may in good faith determined to be equitable under the circumstances.

                 (h) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is adjusted as
provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder
of Warrants in accordance with this Section 



                                       4

<PAGE>   5

3, the Company shall promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer to provide a
notice to the Holder setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of
Warrant Shares after such adjustment or the effect of such modification, a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner
of computing the same.

         4. FULLY PAID STOCK; TAXES. The Company agrees that the shares of the
Common Stock, or any other capital stock, represented by each and every
certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall,
at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal,
and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that
the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company
further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all
Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in
respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or certificate therefor.

         5. REGISTRATION UNDER SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

                  (a) The Company agrees that if, at any time and from time to
time during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the
second anniversary of the date the Warrants are exercised in full, the Board of
Directors of the Company shall authorize the filing of a registration statement
(any such registration statement being hereinafter called a "Registration
Statement") under the Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or
Form S-8 or other form which does not include substantially the same information
as would be required in a form for the general registration of securities) in
connection with the proposed offer of any of its securities by the Company or
any of its stockholders, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Holder and
each of the Holders, if any, of other Warrants and/or Warrant Shares not
previously sold pursuant to this Section 5 that such Registration Statement will
be filed and that the Warrant Shares which are then held, and/or which may be
acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants, by the Holder and such Holders,
will, at the Holder's and such Holder's request, be included in such
Registration Statement, (ii) upon the written request of a Holder made within 15
days after the giving of such notice by the Company, include in the securities
covered by such Registration Statement all Warrant Shares which it has been so
requested to include, (iii) use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable and (iv) take all other
action necessary under any Federal or state law or regulation of any
governmental authority to permit all Warrant Shares which it has been so
requested to include in such Registration Statement to be sold or otherwise
disposed of, and will maintain such compliance with each such Federal and state
law and regulation of any governmental authority for the period necessary for
the Holder and such Holders to effect the proposed sale or other disposition.

                  (b) The Company agrees that if the Company shall not have
authorized the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Subsection 5(a)
hereof within one (1) year after the Commencement Date, then at any time
thereafter during the period ending on the second anniversary of the date the
Warrants are exercised in full, if the Holder and/or the Holders of Warrants
and/or 






                                       5



<PAGE>   6

Warrant Shares who or which shall hold not less than 50% of the aggregate
number of Warrants and Warrant Shares outstanding at such time and not
previously sold (the "Covered Warrant Shares") pursuant to this Section 5 shall
request that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering
not less than 50% of the Covered Warrant Shares, the Company will (i) promptly
notify each Holder of the Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares not so
previously sold that such registration statement will be filed and that the
Warrant Shares which are then held, and/or may be acquired upon exercise of the
Warrants by the Holder and such Holders, will be included in such registration
statement at the Holder's and such Holders' request, (ii) cause such
registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") as soon as possible following such request and to cover all
Warrant Shares which it has been so requested to include, (iii) use its best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable and (iv) take all other action necessary under any Federal or state
law or regulation of any governmental authority to permit all Warrant Shares
which it has been so requested to include in such registration statement to be
sold or otherwise disposed of, and will maintain such compliance with each such
Federal and state law and regulation of any government authority for the period
necessary for such Holder to effect the proposed sale or other disposition. The
Company shall be required to effect a registration or qualification pursuant to
this Subsection 5(b) on one occasion only; provided that a request for
registration shall not be deemed to constitute a registration pursuant to this
Subsection 5(b) if: (i) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase
agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such
registration are not satisfied other than by reason of some act or omission by
the Holder; (ii) the Company voluntarily takes any action that would result in
the Holder not being able to sell such Warrant Shares covered thereby; (iii) the
Holder determines not to proceed following any delay imposed hereunder by the
Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to such delay, the Holder shall not have
sold more than ninety percent (90%) of the Warrant Shares included in such
registration; or (iv) other than by action of the Holder, such registration does
not remain effective for ninety (90) days or more. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) if the Holder exercises its right to request that a registration
statement be filed pursuant to this Subsection 5(b) at a time when the Company
in good faith as evidenced by a Board resolution believes that a public offering
of Common Stock would materially impair a pending financing or other material
transaction of the Company, the Company shall have the right to defer filing a
Registration Statement hereunder for a period not to exceed 90 days or (b) in
lieu of causing a registration statement to be filed under this Section 5(b),
the Company may elect, by providing written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to
the Holder or Holders requesting registration within ten (10) days of the
Company's receiving such request, to repurchase from the requesting Holder or
Holders either (x) the Warrants relating to the Warrant Shares requested to be
registered, at a price per Warrant equal to the difference between the Market
Price per share of the Common Stock (as defined below) and the Per Share Warrant
Price or (y) if the Warrants relating to the Warrant Shares requested to be
registered had already been exercised, such Warrant Shares at a price per
Warrant Share equal to the Market Price per share of the Common Stock. As used
in this Section 5(b), the "Market Price per share of the Common Stock" shall
mean the average of the last sale price of the Common Stock, or if no last sale
price is reported, the average of the asked and bid prices of the Common Stock,
on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small Cap Market, as applicable, for the
20 consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the delivery by the
Holder or Holders of the request for a registration statement pursuant to this





                                       6

<PAGE>   7

Section 5(b). Any repurchase of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares under this
Section 5(b) shall be made within 30 days of the delivery by the Company of the
Repurchase Notice.

                  (c) Whenever the Company is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5 to include Warrant Shares in a registration
statement, the Company shall (i) furnish each Holder of any such Warrant Shares
and each underwriter of such Warrant Shares with such copies of the prospectus,
including the preliminary prospectus, conforming to the Act (and such other
documents as each such Holder or each such underwriter may reasonably request)
in order to facilitate the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, (ii) use
its best efforts to register or qualify such Warrant Shares under the blue sky
laws (to the extent applicable ) of such jurisdiction or laws (to the extent
applicable) of such jurisdiction or jurisdictions as the Holders of any such
Warrant Shares and each underwriter of Warrant Shares being sold by such Holders
shall reasonably request and (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable such Holders and such underwriters to
consummate the sale or distribution in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions in
which such Holders shall have reasonably requested that the Warrant Shares be
sold.

                  (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in
an offering pursuant to a registration statement under this Section 5 and to
each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or
underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective
date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement), and (ii) a "comfort" letter dated the effective date of
such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report
on the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement,
in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountant's letter with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities.

                  (e) The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement
with the managing underwriters selected by Holders holding 50% of the Covered
Warrant Shares requested to be included in a registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 5(b). Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing underwriters,
and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company
and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type as
used by the managing underwriters.

                  (f) The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection
with any registration statement or other action pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5, other than underwriting discounts, applicable transfer taxes
relating to the Warrant Shares and the fees and expenses of counsel for the
Holders of the Warrant Shares.












                                       7
<PAGE>   8


                  (g) In connection with any public offering by the Company
involving an underwriting of its securities effected pursuant to Section 5(a)
hereof, the Company shall not be required to include in such registration any
Warrant Shares held by the Holder unless the Holder agrees to the terms of the
underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing underwriter of such
offering, which agreement may require that the Warrant Shares be withheld from
the market by the Holders for a period of up to 180 days after the effective
date of the registration statement by which such public offering is being
effected (or such longer period as may be requested by any securities exchange
upon which the Common Stock is then listed). Furthermore, the Company shall be
obligated to include in such registration only the quantity of Warrant Shares,
if any, as will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, jeopardize the
success of the offering by the Company. If the managing underwriter for the
offering advises the Company in writing that the total amount of securities
sought to be registered by the Holders and other shareholders of the Company
having similar registration rights as of the date thereof (collectively, the
"Kellstrom Shareholders") exceeds the amount of securities that can be offered
without adversely affecting the offering by the Company, then the Company may
reduce the number of shares to be registered by the Company for the Kellstrom
Shareholders, including Warrant Shares, to a number satisfactory to such
managing underwriter. Any such reduction shall be pro rata, based upon the total
number of shares held by each Kellstrom Shareholder.

                  (h) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder
and any person or entity engaged by the Holder to sell the Holder's Warrant
Shares, and each person, if any, who controls such persons or entities within
the meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act") (collectively, a "Holder Indemnitee"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in
respect thereof) (joint or several) to which a Holder Indemnitee may become
subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings
or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (a "Violation"): (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the employment by the Company of
any device, scheme or artifice to defraud or the engagement by the Company in
any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a
fraud or deceit upon the purchasers of its securities pursuant to such
registration statement. The Company will also reimburse each Holder Indemnitee
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnitee in
connection with investigating, defending, and settling any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action.

         The indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 5(h) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable to
any Holder Indemnitee of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action (i) to the
extent that 









                                       8




<PAGE>   9

it arises solely out of or is based solely upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of the Holder or any
agent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or
controlling person of either; or (ii) in the case of a sale directly by the
Holder (including a sale of such Warrant Shares through any underwriter retained
by such Holder to engage in a distribution solely on behalf of such Holder),
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or
amended prospectus, and the Holder failed to deliver a copy of the final or
amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Warrant
Shares to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any
case where such delivery is required by the Act.

                  (i) The Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its employees, officers, directors or persons who control the Company
within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, and each agent or underwriter for
the Company or any other person or entity engaged by the Company to sell the
Company's securities offered in the registration statement, or any of their
respective directors, officers, partners, agents, employees or control persons
(collectively, a "Company Indemnitee"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
Company Indemnitee may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereto) arise solely out of or are based solely
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that
such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use in
connection with such registration; and each Holder will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by a Company Indemnitee in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.

         The indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 5(i) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying
Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor, in the case of a
sale directly by the Company of its securities (including a sale of such
securities through any underwriter retained by the Company to engage in a
distribution solely on behalf of the Company), shall the Holder be liable to the
Company in any case in which such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and
corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and the Company failed to deliver a
copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the
sale of the securities to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or
liability in any case where such delivery is required by the Act.

                  (j) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Subsections 5(h) or (i) of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying part so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel








                                       9

mutually satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying parties, provide the
an indemnified part shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of
such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests (as reasonably
determined by either party) between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
Subsection 5(h) or (i), respectively, to the extent of such prejudice, but the
failure to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve
it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under Subsection 5(h) or (i), respectively.

                           (ii) The obligations of the Company and the Holders
under Subsections 5(h) and (i), respectively, shall survive the completion of
any offering of Warrant Shares made pursuant to a registration under this
Agreement.

                           (iii) The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings
in respect thereof) referred to in Subsections 5(h) and (i) shall include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

                  (k) If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
Subsections 5(h) or (i) is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall be
entitled to contribution, except to the extent that contribution is not
permitted under Section 11(f) of the Act. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be
considered the parties' relative knowledge and access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity correct
and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate under the circumstances. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

                  (l) The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided in this Section 5, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights hereunder. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Section 5 and hereby
agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy
at law would be adequate.

                  (m) In connection with the Company's obligations to effect a
registration under Section 5, the Company will:





                                       10

be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and before
filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel selected by Holder copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to their
review and comments;

                           (ii) cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any

amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the
Commission for any amendments or supplements to the registration statement or
the prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for the purpose; (D) if, at any
time prior to the closing contemplated by an underwriting agreement entered into
in connection with such registration statement, that the representations and
warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and
correct in any material respect; (E) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Warrant
Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (F) of the happening of any event which makes
any statement made in the registration statement, the prospectus of or any
document incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect and
which requires the making of any changes in the registration statement, the
prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make
the statement therein not materially misleading;

                           (iv) make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement;

                           (v) if required, prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the registration statement, the related prospectus
or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Warrant
Shares, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading;

                           (vi) cause all Warrant Shares covered by the
registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which
identical securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the
Holder or the managing underwriters, if any;

                           (vii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer
agent and registrar for all Warrant Shares covered by such registration
statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such
registration statement;

and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such representative, attorney or
accountant in connection with such registration; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
records, information or documents that are designated by the Company in writing
as confidential shall be kept confidential by such persons unless disclosure of
such records, information or documents is required by court or administrative
order;

                           (x) if so required by the managing underwriter, not
sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purpose of, effect
any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of its equity securities
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such
securities during the ten days prior to and the 90 days after any underwritten
registration pursuant hereto has become effective, except as part of such
underwritten registration and except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or
S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto, except that the Company may make
grants of options under its stock option plans and may issue securities issuable
