                   KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              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, 1999 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. Certain
         1999 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform with
         the 2000 presentation.

         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 the Company as of September 30,
         2000, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three
         and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the
         condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month
         periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations
         for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
         for the full year.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

         On April 29, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
         stock of Certified Aircraft Parts, Inc. ("Certified") for $16.7 million
         in cash, and assumed $2.7 million in debt.

         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed two
         acquisitions for $5.9 million in cash, $2.5 million in payments due in
         2000 and 2001, plus up to $11.7 million cash consideration which may be
         paid in the form of an earn-out payable over ten years based on certain
         specified criteria. These acquisitions were accounted for using the
         purchase method of accounting for business combinations and
         accordingly, those companies' operating results have been included in
         the Company's results of operations since the dates of acquisition.
         Purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions are
         preliminary.

</TABLE>


         In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the
         three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, approximately
         1.1 million and 3.6 million stock options, respectively, were excluded
         because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Conversion of the
         5 1/2% convertible subordinated notes was not assumed for the
         three-month period ended September 30, 1999 because of its antidilutive
         effect. Additionally, conversion of the 5 1/2% and 5 3/4% convertible
         subordinated notes was not assumed for the three-month period ended
         September 30, 2000 because of its antidilutive effect.

         In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the
         nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, approximately .9
         million and 3.7 million stock options, respectively, were excluded
         because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Additionally,
         conversion of the 5 1/2% and 5 3/4% convertible subordinated notes was
         not assumed for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 because
         of its antidilutive effect.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT REPORTING

         The Company is organized based on the products that it offers. Under
         this organizational structure, the Company has four reportable
         segments: (i) Commercial Engine Parts, (ii) Defense (iii) Whole Engine
         and Aircraft and (iv) Airframe Avionics and Rotables. The Commercial
         Engine Parts segment is involved in the business of purchasing,
         overhauling (primarily through subcontractors), reselling and leasing
         of engine parts for large turbo-fan engines manufactured by CFM
         International, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce. The
         Defense segment is an after-market reseller of aircraft parts and
         turbojet engines and engine parts for helicopters and large transport
         aircraft. The segment's primary focus is on the Lockheed Martin C-130
         Hercules aircraft, a widely used military transport aircraft, the
         Allison (Rolls Royce) T56/501 engine, which powers this aircraft, and
         the Allison 250, with approximately 16,000 units actively in use by
         helicopters. The acquisition of Certified on April 29, 1999 enhanced
         the Company's presence in this market segment. The Whole Engine and
         Aircraft segment leases and resells whole engines and aircraft. The
         Airframe Avionics and Rotables segment is engaged in the sale of a wide
         variety of aircraft rotables and expendable components including flight
         data recorders, electrical and mechanical equipment and radar and
         navigation systems.

         The Company's reportable segments are managed separately because each
         business requires different technology and product knowledge. The
         Company has not historically allocated selling, general and
         administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest
         expense or income taxes to its business



                                       8

         segments. Rather, the Company evaluates performance of the business
         segments based on revenue and gross margins. The accounting policies of
         the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
         significant accounting policies. The following table sets forth the
         revenue and margins for each of the Company's business segments for the
         three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

NOTE 6 - OTHER MATTERS

         On July 7, 1999, the Company settled a lawsuit brought by the Estate of
         the late Mr. Joram Rosenfeld (a former Director of the Company) with
         respect to, among other things, a claim alleging entitlement to a stock
         option grant in late 1996. The settlement was entered into in order to
         limit the expense of litigating the suit as well as the protracted use
         of management's time and related corporate resources. For the second
         quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a one-time pre-tax
         charge of approximately $2.2 million to fulfill its obligation under
         the settlement and for accrued legal expenses.

         The Company is not aware of any material legal proceedings pending

         Distribution Services Company ("AVSDC") subsidiary. Specifically, the
         Company will acquire select AVSDC non-inventory assets and assume a
         portion of AVSDC's accounts payable and accrued expenses. In connection
         with this agreement, the Company  and Aviation Sales Company will also
         establish an off-balance sheet joint venture that will acquire the
         inventory of AVSDC and enter into an exclusive arrangement with the
         Company to sell the inventory through its inventory management
         business. The Company expects to consolidate the operations of AVSDC
         with its Solair and Commercial Engine Divisions. Consummation of the
         transaction is contingent upon completion of required financing and
         approval by the parties' existing lenders.

GENERAL

         The Company is a leader in the airborne equipment segments of the
international aviation services after-market. The Company's principal business
is the purchasing, overhauling (primarily through subcontractors), reselling and
leasing of aircraft, avionics and aircraft rotables, and aircraft engines and
engine parts. The Company's historical growth has resulted from a number of
factors, including the expansion of the Company's product lines, customer base
and market share, increases in the Company's internal growth, cost controls and
overall operating efficiencies, acquisitions in existing and adjacent markets
and significant capital investments.

         On April 29, 1999 the Company acquired Certified. Additionally, during
the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed two acquisitions. These
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations and accordingly, those companies' operating results have
been included in the Company's results of operations since the respective dates
of acquisition. Consequently, the results of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not comparable to the corresponding
periods of the prior year in certain material respects.

         On September 20, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire the aircraft and engine parts resale business of Aviation Sales
Company, which is operated through its Aviation Sales Distribution
Services Company ("AVSDC") subsidiary. Specifically, the Company will acquire
select AVSDC non-inventory assets and assume a portion of AVSDC's accounts
payable and accrued expenses. The Company expects to consolidate the operations
of AVSDC with its Solair and Commercial Engine Divisions. Consummation of the
transaction is contingent upon completion of required financing and approval by
the parties' existing lenders. Consummation of the transaction is contigent upon
completion of required financing and approval by the parties' existing lenders.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

         Consolidated sales revenues increased by 61% to $96.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $59.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. Sales revenues from the Company's commercial
engine parts segment increased to $21.9 million as compared with $20.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999,
respectively. Sales revenues from the Company's defense segment increased to
$19.9 million as compared with $13.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Sales revenues from the
Company's airframe avionics and rotables segment increased to $17.7 million as
compared with $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999, respectively. The increase in sales in the Company's
commercial engine parts, defense and airframe avionics and rotables segments was
primarily due to the continued expansion of the Company's nose to tail inventory
management programs, coupled with an increase in the Company's customer base due
to continued investments in marketing and higher levels of inventory
availability. Sales revenues from the Company's whole engine and aircraft
segment increased to $36.6 million as compared with $12.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. The
increase in revenues from the sale of whole engine and aircraft are a result of
the Company's continuing efforts to reposition the lease portfolio and change
its composition to newer models.

         Rental revenues from the Company's whole engine and aircraft segment
decreased by 56% to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease in rental revenues was primarily due to a reduction in fleet
utilization and a reduction in the size of the fleet.

         Consolidated cost of goods sold increased by 84% to $74.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $40.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. Consolidated gross profit margin on sales
was 22.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with 32.2%
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Gross margin for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 for the commercial engine parts, defense and airframe
avionics and rotables segments were 27.8%, 34.1% and 26.1%, respectively, as
compared to 35.2%, 35.4% and 29.3%, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross margins at the commercial engine parts
and airframe avionics and rotables segments



                                       12

reflects current market conditions. Gross margins from the sale of whole engines
and aircraft were 11.8% for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to 26.8% for
the third quarter of 1999, reflecting current market conditions and the
Company's efforts to reposition its lease portfolio.

         Depreciation of equipment under operating leases decreased by 43% to
$4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $7.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit margin on
rental revenues decreased to 12.9% in 2000 from 33.4% in 1999. The decrease in
the gross profit margin was primarily due to the impact of depreciation expense
incurred on a higher level of idle equipment.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 16% to $11.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $10.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the Company's continued
investment in personnel and facilities for the defense, commercial engine parts
and airframe avionics and rotables segments in order to support the Company's
growth model.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 22% to $1.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense was primarily due to depreciation on recent investments in
facilities to support the Company's growth plans.

         Interest expense (net of interest income) increased by 9% to $6.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $5.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest
expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest rates partially offset
by a decrease in the Company's average debt levels.

         The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September
30, 2000 was 37.3% as compared to 37.1% for the three months ended September 30,
1999.

         Net income decreased by 55% to $1.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Basic earnings per common share decreased by 55% to $0.13
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $0.29 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. Diluted earnings per common share decreased by
52% to $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $0.27
for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

         Consolidated sales revenues increased by 17% to $241.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $205.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. Sales revenues from the Company's commercial
engine parts segment increased to $65.5 million as compared with $52.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999,
respectively. Sales revenues from the Company's defense segment increased to
$54.7 million as compared with $33.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Sales revenues from the Company's
airframe avionics and rotables segment increased to $45.8 million as compared
with $37.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September
30, 1999, respectively. The increase in sales in the Company's commercial engine
parts, defense and airframe avionics and rotables segments was primarily due to
the continued expansion of the Company's nose to tail inventory management
programs, coupled with an increase in the Company's customer base due to
continued investments in marketing and higher levels of inventory availability.
In addition, sales in the Company's defense segment were impacted by the
acquisition of Certified in April 1999. Sales revenues from the Company's whole
engine and aircraft segment decreased to $75.3 million as compared with $81.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999,
respectively. The decrease in revenues from the sale of whole engine and
aircraft reflect current market conditions and the Company's decision to limit
the growth of the lease portfolio and change its composition to newer engine
models.



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

         Rental revenues from the Company's whole engine and aircraft segment
decreased by 49% to $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease in rental revenues was primarily due to a reduction in fleet
utilization and a reduction in the size of the fleet.

         Consolidated cost of goods sold increased by 28% to $178.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $139.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Consolidated gross profit margin on sales
was 26.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with 32.0%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Gross margin for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 for the commercial engine parts and airframe avionics
and rotables segments was 33.3% and 27.3%, respectively, as compared to 34.4%
and 26.3%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Gross
margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 for the defense segment was
relatively unchanged at 35.2% as compared to 35.8% for the same period last
year. Gross margins from the sale of whole engines and aircraft were 12.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 31.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, reflecting current market conditions and the
Company's efforts to reposition its lease portfolio.

         Depreciation of equipment under operating leases decreased by 31% to
$14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $20.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit margin on
rental revenues decreased to 13.3% in 2000 from 36.4% in 1999. The decrease in
the gross profit margin was primarily due to the impact of depreciation expense
incurred on a higher level of idle equipment.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 20% to $35.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $29.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses was primarily due to (i) the acquisition of
Certified being combined into the Company and (ii) the Company's continued
investment in personnel and facilities for the defense, commercial engine parts
and airframe avionics and rotables segments in order to support the Company's
growth model.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 23% to $4.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $3.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense was primarily due to amortization of goodwill related to
the Certified acquisition in addition to depreciation on recent investments in
facilities to support the Company's growth plans.

         Other non-recurring expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 reflect a $2.2 million charge to fulfill the Company's obligation under the
settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Estate of a late Director of the Company,
with respect to, among other things, a claim alleging entitlement to a stock
option grant in late 1996, and for accrued legal expenses incurred in connection
with the settlement.

         Interest expense (net of interest income) increased by 25% to $19.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $15.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest
expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest rates and the Company's
average debt levels, resulting from the acquisition of Certified and growth in
inventories offset by decreases in equipment under operating leases.

         The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was 37.4% as compared to 37.8% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999.

         Net income decreased by 78% to $3.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $16.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Basic earnings per common share decreased by 79% to $0.30
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1.40 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. Diluted earnings per common share decreased by
74% to $0.30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1.17
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

$10.8 million to support the Company's growth.

         Cash flow used for investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $12.7 million compared with $34.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The primary uses of cash for investing
activities were acquisitions of $5.9 million, earn-out payments of $1.4 million
and $2.2 million in connection with the acquisitions of Aero Support and ITC,
respectively, and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $3.2 million.

         Cash flow used for financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $12.4 million compared with cash flow provided by
financing activities of $93.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The primary uses of cash for financing activities were a decrease in
borrowings under the Company's line of credit agreement of $10.1 million and the
repayment of a note payable of $2.1 million.

         As previously noted, on September 20, 2000, the Company entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire the aircraft and engine parts resale business of
Aviation Sales Company, which is operated through its Aviation Sales
Distribution Services Company ("AVSDC") subsidiary. Specifically, the Company
will acquire select AVSDC non-inventory assets and assume a portion of AVSDC's
accounts payable and accrued expenses. In connection with this agreement, the
Company and Aviation Sales Company will also establish an off-balance sheet
joint venture that will acquire the inventory of AVSDC and enter into an
exclusive arrangement with the Company to sell the inventory through its
inventory management business. The Company expects to consolidate the operations
of AVSDC with its Solair and Commercial Engine Divisions.

         The Company expects to invest approximately $50 million in the
transaction. The Company plans to finance the transaction with a combination of
funding from its current revolving credit facility and a new $30 million, 7-year
mezzanine debt financing with Key Principal Partners, LLC, an affiliate of Key
Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio. Consummation of the transaction is contingent
upon completion of required financing and approval by the parties' existing
lenders.

         The Company intends to take advantage of growth opportunities that are
consistent with the Company's expansion and profit objectives. It is anticipated
that such growth opportunities will require the investment of cash

into inventories of aircraft and aircraft parts, engines and engine parts and
avionics and rotables. Greater availability of such inventories 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 cash flows and
through its syndicated credit facility. In the future, the Company may require
additional sources of capital to continue to fund its expansion.

         The Company's management believes that free cash flow (net income plus
depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of goodwill),
combined with the Company's syndicated credit facility should be sufficient for
the Company's current level of operations. However, the Company may elect to
seek equity capital or other debt financing in the future depending upon market
conditions and the capital needs of the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company's exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the
fluctuating interest rates associated with variable rate indebtedness
outstanding under the Company's $256.7 million bank credit facility. The bank
credit facility, which expires in 2003, bears interest at the bank's prime rate
plus 0-50 basis points or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 150-250 basis
points. These variable interest rates are subject to interest rate changes in
the United States and Eurodollar markets. The Company does not currently use,
and has not historically used, derivative financial instruments to hedge against
such market interest rate risk. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
approximately $162.4 million in variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the
credit facility, representing approximately 52% of the Company's total debt
outstanding, at an average interest rate of 9.1%. An increase in interest rates
by 1% would have a $250,000 quarterly impact on net income.
