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

OVERVIEW. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the information set forth under Item 7: Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 11 through
19 of Aviall, Inc.'s (the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998. Parts Distribution sales were impacted by the
February 1, 1999 implementation of the new Lawson enterprise system. These
issues stemmed from problems in the newly-released software as well as the
employees' lack of familiarity with the system. Parts Distribution converted
its operations to the Lawson system on February 1 and immediately experienced a
30% decline in sales in the first weeks of February compared to the same period
in January. As the Company addressed these issues, sales began to recover in
the second half of February and continued to improve throughout March. Net
sales for Parts Distribution for the first quarter of 1999 were $80.0 million,
a decline of $11.0 million, or 12.1%, from the $91.0 million recorded in the
same 1998 quarter. Parts Distribution sales were lower in all major business
segments and geographic regions except the European and Australian segments
which posted slight increases. ILS revenue increased $0.4 million, or 5.0%,
from $7.0 million to $7.4 million year over year.

     Gross profit of $24.1 million was $0.9 million lower than the $25.0
million in the 1998 first quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased to 27.6% from 25.5%. This increase in gross profit percentage was
primarily the result of increased margins in the Parts Distribution business
and the higher percentage of ILS sales to total sales for the quarter.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 6.0%, to
$18.2 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase primarily resulted
from start-up expenses related to the first phase of the AviallOne project and
costs associated with the strategic review process announced in February 1999.

     Interest expense was higher than in the first quarter 1998 reflecting the
higher debt levels in the first quarter of 1999.

     Tax expense for the first quarter of 1999 increased $1.7 million to $2.1
million from the $0.4 million in the first quarter of 1998. The effective tax
rate increased to 40.1% from 5.0% due to the year-end 1998 release of a U.S.
federal valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. This increase in the
provision for taxes reduces the Company's deferred tax asset, but does not
result in increased cash tax payments.

     First quarter 1999 net earnings were $3.1 million, or $0.17 per share
(diluted), compared to $7.0 million, or $0.34 per share (diluted), last year in
the first quarter. Using an effective tax rate comparable to 1999, prior year
results would have been $4.4 million, or $0.22 per share (diluted).

FINANCIAL CONDITION. Cash flows from operations were negative $1.9 million in
the first three months of 1999 and $5.1 million in the comparable 1998 period.
The reduced operating cash flow resulted from lower sales and gross profit due
to the implementation of the new computer system and increased inventory
purchases for anticipated sales volume partially offset by increased payables
for these purchases.

     The Company's cash income tax expense continues to be substantially lower
than the U.S. federal statutory rate due to the utilization of the large U.S.
federal net operating loss ("NOL"). The Company's cash tax expense is primarily
related to foreign taxes on foreign operations and U.S. federal alternative
minimum tax. For U.S. federal tax purposes as of December 31, 1998, the Company
had an estimated net operating loss carryforward of approximately $180 million
expiring in 2009-2011. Based on current and expected future earnings levels,
the NOLs may not be fully utilized for several years. If certain substantial
changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there would be an annual
limitation on the amount of the U.S. federal NOL carryforward that can be
utilized. The amount of the annual limitation can vary significantly based on
certain factors existing at the date of the change.

     The Company believes that its expected cash flow from operations and
availability under its revolving lines of credit are sufficient to meet its
current working capital and operating needs.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER SYSTEM COMPLIANCE. Many existing computer software and
hardware programs refer to the year by only using the last two digits of the
year. These computer programs will not properly interpret the year 2000. These
programs, unless upgraded, could fail or create erroneous results causing a
disruption in the operations of a company.

     STATE OF READINESS. During 1998, hardware and system software reviews for
Year 2000 compliance, including information technology ("IT") and non-IT
systems, were conducted by the Company with the assistance of outside
consultants. In addition, the Company is assessing its exposure from external
sources to Year 2000 failures, including major suppliers, customers and
third-party providers. The Company has replaced its financial and Parts
Distribution applications software with Year 2000 compliant systems. The
replacement of the financial software was implemented in the second quarter of
1998. The Parts Distribution applications software replacement was implemented
on schedule in the first quarter of 1999. ILS utilizes internally developed
applications software. The program modifications to make this proprietary
software Year 2000 compliant have been completed. Testing and validation of
these modifications will continue to be conducted during 1999. The following is
a table showing the Company's critical systems state of readiness for Year 2000
based on management's assessment:

     COSTS. The Company has replaced its Parts Distribution applications and
financial software with an integrated enterprise system at a cost of
approximately $5 million which is being capitalized. The replacement resulted
from both the need to enhance the efficiencies and effectiveness of the Parts
Distribution operating system by replacing several old legacy systems and to
address the Year 2000 issue. Approximately $200,000 has been expensed to date
related to Parts Distribution for Year 2000 issues. An estimated additional
$200,000 will be expensed. The cost expensed to date to modify the ILS
operating software was $125,000. An additional $100,000 is expected to be
required to complete this project, including testing.

     RISKS AND CONTINGENCY PLANS. In management's assessment, the most likely
worst case scenario for Year 2000 non-compliance for Parts Distribution would
result if suppliers were unable to ship inventory. The Company has distributed
questionnaires to its major suppliers to assess their Year 2000 readiness.
Management may adjust inventory purchasing prior to January 1, 2000 for any
suppliers with suspected Year 2000 issues. In addition, Parts Distribution does
limited electronic data interchange ("EDI") with both suppliers and customers.
Purchase and sale orders from EDI suppliers or customers could be processed
manually if EDI failed from either side. Management's assessment of the most
likely worst case scenario for ILS would result if either the listing companies
were unable to update their data or clients were unable to access ILS' database
due to their own systems not being Year 2000 compliant. The Company has
distributed information through the mail and the ILS website on corrective
actions that clients can take to address Year 2000 compliance of their own
systems. The Company depends on third-party providers for key services such as
telecommunications, utilities and transportation. Interruption of these
services could, in management's view, have a material impact on the operations
of the Company. The Company has begun to evaluate the readiness of these
critical suppliers. The Company will assess and develop contingency plans
throughout 1999 depending on circumstances encountered during the year.
Although Aviall's management presently believes the Company is taking
appropriate steps to assess and correct its Year 2000 issues, due to the
general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 issue and the readiness of third
parties, Aviall is unable to determine whether Year 2000 will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

OUTLOOK. Aviall primarily participates in the global aviation aftermarket
through its core aviation Parts Distribution and ILS businesses. The Company is
affected by the general economic cycle, particularly as it influences flight
activity in commercial, business and general aviation. Aviall serves a
significant number of customers in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions.
In 1998, countries in these regions experienced financial market volatility and
the currencies of certain countries fell in value relative to the U.S. dollar.
These factors reduced demand for air travel in the Asia-Pacific region in 1998
and as a result reduced customers' need for aircraft parts and their ability to
pay in a timely manner. Continued volatility in Latin America could produce
similar results in that region in 1999. Recent improvements in the Asia-Pacific
region may lead to a slow business recovery in the region in 1999, which could
result in greater demand for aircraft parts in this region.

     Commercial airlines in North America and Europe continue to effectively
manage their capacity by retiring older aircraft as new aircraft are delivered,
limiting growth in demand for replacement parts. Management is actively seeking
new sources of supply for airline products to expand the Company's growth in
that segment.

     The operations modules of the Lawson Insight(TM) system were implemented by
the Parts Distribution business in February 1999. Typical systems
implementation issues and the learning curve associated with a large scale
implementation significantly affected sales in February and into March. The
Company and Lawson have addressed the major issues with the system, and Parts
Distribution employees are increasing their proficiency with the system.

     Information and communication technology is evolving rapidly, and
developments such as the Internet could affect proprietary database service
companies such as ILS and traditional distribution companies. Management
believes that the active employment by the Company of these new technologies,
such as the Internet, will enable it to maintain its technological leadership
and minimize the risk of obsolescence. A new version of the aviall.com website
currently in development will offer significant improvements to the
functionality of the on-line Parts Distribution ordering system, drawing on
advanced Internet capabilities of the new Lawson Insight(TM) enterprise system.
Similarly, ILS is preparing new content for its website that will be available
on the Internet at ILSmart.com, during the second quarter of 1999. ILS is also
continuing its transition into electronic commerce, and is working with a
number of firms to offer new services in this area.

     AviallOne, a new program to improve sales processes and enhance customer
service, is a key internal focus for Parts Distribution for 1999. It will
establish one high standard of proficiency using the Lawson Insight(TM) system
to better meet specific customer requirements. In addition to improving the
efficiency and increasing call capacity in the Dallas Sales Center, AviallOne
will enable Parts Distribution to measure, document and implement best practices
in the Company's sales organization and to provide an excellent experience for
all customers.

     In late February 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
had authorized the Company to retain an investment banking firm to assist the
Company in exploring alternatives to improve shareholder value. In that regard,
the Company's Board authorized management to examine a range of possible
transactions which may include a sale, joint venture or other transaction
involving the Company or either of its two operating businesses, Parts
Distribution and ILS. This strategic review process is ongoing. There can be no
assurance that any such transaction will be completed or of the terms or timing
of any such transaction.
