              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated interim financial statements included in this report are
unaudited. The Company believes the interim financial statements are presented
on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements. The Company also
believes that the interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. All of these
adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for
interim periods do not necessarily predict the operating results for the full
year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 has been derived
from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles as permitted by interim reporting
requirements. The information included in this report should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and the 1998 audited financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's prospectus. The prospectus is part of the
Company's Registration Statement No. 333-70363 on Form S-1 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission effective May 14, 1999. The Company has made
some reclassifications to prior periods' financial statements to conform to the
1999 presentation.

     As described in the 1998 audited financial statements, DeCrane Aircraft
Holdings, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DeCrane Holdings Co. in
August 1998 as a result of the acquisition by DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II,
L.P. and affiliated funds and entities. DeCrane Aircraft is the predecessor of
DeCrane Holdings, and the financial information for DeCrane Aircraft is
presented for periods prior to the DLJ acquisition.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

     PATS

     On January 22, 1999 the Company acquired all of the common stock of PATS,
Inc. PATS is a Maryland-based designer, manufacturer and installer of auxiliary
fuel tank systems, which significantly extend the flight range of commercial and
corporate aircraft, and a manufacturer of aircraft auxiliary power units.

     The total purchase price was $39,042,000, including an estimated $1,340,000
of acquisition related costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and the $31,759,000 difference between the purchase price and the fair value of
the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over thirty years. The consolidated balance sheet as of June
30, 1999 reflects the financial position of PATS and the consolidated statement
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 includes its operating
results subsequent to the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company's senior
credit facility as described in Note 5 and a $5,000,000 customer advance for
product to be delivered by PATS in the future.


     PPI

     On April 23, 1999 the Company acquired all of the common stock of PPI
Holdings, Inc. PPI is a Kansas-based designer and manufacturer of interior
furniture components for middle- and high-end corporate aircraft.

     The total purchase price was $63,178,000, plus $19,250,000 of contingent
consideration payable over two years based on future attainment of defined
performance criteria. The total purchase price includes an estimated $1,240,000
of acquisition related costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their
estimated fair values. As a result, the historical value of inventory was
increased by $1,093,000 and the $52,896,000 difference between the purchase
price and the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
The increase in inventory value was charged to operations as the inventory was
sold during the period ended June 30, 1999 and goodwill is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over thirty years. The amount of contingent consideration
paid in the future, if any, will increase goodwill and will be amortized
prospectively over the remaining period of the initial thirty-year term. The
purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change upon the completion of
the final valuation of the net assets acquired. The consolidated balance sheet
as of June 30, 1999 reflects the financial position of PPI and the consolidated
statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999
include its operating results subsequent to the acquisition date.

                                       5

<PAGE>

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company's senior
credit facility as described in Note 5 and $12,500,000 of proceeds from the sale
of common stock as described in Note 7.


     CUSTOM WOODWORK - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On August 5, 1999 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets,
subject to accounts payable and accrued expenses assumed, of Custom Woodwork &
Plastics, Inc. Custom Woodwork is a Georgia-based designer and manufacturer of
interior furniture components for middle- and high-end corporate aircraft.

     The total purchase price was $13,750,000, plus $2,000,000 of contingent
consideration payable over two years based on future attainment of defined
performance criteria. The total purchase price includes an estimated $500,000 of
acquisition related costs. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase
and the estimated $11,000,000 difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill and amortized on a
straight-line basis over thirty years. The amount of contingent consideration
paid in the future, if any, will increase goodwill and will be amortized
prospectively over the remaining period of the initial thirty-year term. The
purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change upon the completion of
the final valuation of the net assets acquired. The Company's consolidated
financial statements will include Custom Woodwork's financial position and its
results of operations for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

     The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company's senior
credit facility as described in Note 5.


NOTE 3 - PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE DLJ AND OTHER ACQUISITIONS

     Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are presented in the
table below for six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of
operations reflect the Company's purchase by DLJ and other 1998 acquisitions
described in the Company's 1998 audited financial statements and the 1999 PATS
and PPI acquisitions as if all of these transactions were consummated as of
January 1, 1998. The pro forma results exclude the effect of the Custom Woodwork
acquisition, which was completed subsequent to June 30, 1999.

</TABLE>

     The pro forma results of operations do not purport to represent what actual
results would have been if the transactions described above occurred on such
dates or to project the results of operations for any future period. The above
information reflects adjustments for inventory, depreciation, amortization,
general and administrative expenses and interest expense based on the new cost
basis and debt structure of the Company following the acquisitions. In 1998,
income excludes the effect of a $2,229,000 extraordinary loss incurred in
connection with a debt refinancing.

     One customer, the Boeing Company, accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's 1998 consolidated revenues. If the Company had completed its 1998 and
1999 acquisitions at the beginning of 1998, two customers would have accounted
for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues as follows:

</TABLE>

     In conjunction with the January 1999 PATS acquisition, the Company borrowed
$14,918,000 under its acquisition revolving credit facility and amended its term
loan facility to provide for an additional $20,000,000 of term loan borrowings.
The interest rate margins, the rates charged above the current prime or
Euro-Dollar rates, were increased by 0.50% for all senior credit facility
borrowings. The amended interest rate margins range between 1.50% to 1.75% for
prime rate borrowings and 2.75% to 3.00% for Euro-Dollar borrowings, depending
on the type of borrowing.

     In April 1999, the term loan facility was further amended to provide for an
additional $70,000,000 of term loan borrowings. The Company used $50,000,000 of
the proceeds to fund the PPI acquisition and $20,000,000 to repay borrowings
under its acquisition and working capital revolving credit facilities. The
interest rate margins applicable to the $70,000,000 incremental term loan
borrowings are 2.00% for prime rate borrowings or 3.25% for Euro-Dollar
borrowings.

     In conjunction with the August 1999 Custom Woodwork acquisition, the
Company borrowed $13,750,000 under its acquisition revolving credit facility.


NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes differs from the amount determined by
applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal rate to the income (loss) before
income taxes primarily due to the effects of state and foreign income taxes and
non-deductible expenses, principally goodwill amortization. The difference in
the effective tax rates between periods is mostly a result of higher goodwill
amortization.

     MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

     During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the liquidation preference of

accretion. The dividend accretion was charged to additional paid-in capital. The
preferred stock has a total liquidation value of $38,440,000 as of June 30,
1999.

     COMMON STOCK

     In April 1999, the Company increased the number of authorized common shares

NOTE 9 - SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     In conjunction with the senior credit facility and 12% senior subordinated
notes described in Note 5, the following condensed consolidating financial
information is presented for the Company, segregating guarantor and
non-guarantor subsidiaries. The accompanying financial information in the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries" column reflects the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for those subsidiaries guaranteeing the senior credit
facility and the notes. The guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company and their guarantees are full and unconditional on a joint and
several basis. There are no restrictions on the ability of the guarantor
subsidiaries to transfer funds to the issuer in the form of cash dividends,
loans or advances. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries
are not presented because management believes that such financial statements
would not be material to investors.

     Investments in subsidiaries in the following condensed consolidating
financial information are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Consolidating adjustments include the following:

     (1) Elimination of investments in subsidiaries.
     (2) Elimination of intercompany accounts.
     (3) Elimination of intercompany sales between guarantor and non-guarantor
         subsidiaries.
     (4) Elimination of equity in earnings of subsidiaries.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION

     The Canadian Transportation Safety Board has notified the Company that as
part of its investigation of the crash of Swissair Flight 111 on September 2,
1998, burned wire was found which was attached to the in-flight entertainment
system installed on certain Swissair aircraft by a subsidiary of the Company.
The Canadian Transportation Safety Board has advised the Company that it does
not have evidence that the system the Company installed malfunctioned or failed
during the flight. The Company has been requested by attorneys for families of
persons who died aboard the flight to put its insurance carrier on notice of a
potential claim by such families.

     On August 3, 1999 families of persons who died aboard the flight filed an
action in federal court in California against one of our subsidiaries and two
other unaffiliated parties allegedly doing business in California, claiming
negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty relating to the installation
and testing of the in-flight entertainment system. The action seeks compensatory
and punitive damages and costs in an unstated amount. Discovery has not yet
commenced. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the claim. Actions
were also previously filed in other jurisdictions against other unaffiliated
parties, including Swissair and Boeing.

                                       13

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION (CONTINUED)

     On August 5, 1998, the Company and its chief executive officer were served
in an action filed in state court in California by the Company's chief financial
officer and secretary claiming that he is due additional compensation in the
form of stock options, and claiming fraud, negligent misrepresentation and
breach of contract in connection therewith. On September 22, 1998, the plaintiff
amended the compliant by repeating the allegations in the initial compliant and
adding allegations of fraudulent misrepresentation in violation of certain
provisions of the California Labor Code (for which doubled damages are sought),
promissory estoppel, and wrongful discharge as a violation of public policy (as
a result of allegations made by the plaintiff of improprieties in connection
with the fairness opinion with respect to the DLJ Acquisition). The plaintiff
further amended his complaint to allege breach of an implied contract as well.
The action seeks not less than $1.5 million plus punitive damages and costs.
Discovery has not been completed. The Company intends to vigorously defend
against such claim. The plaintiff's employment with the Company was terminated.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other routine legal
and administrative proceedings incident to the normal conduct of business.
Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.


NOTE 11 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives
on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. It also
requires that gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether
it qualifies for hedge accounting. Adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS
No. 137 in June 1999, is required for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001.
Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

     THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT.

                                    OVERVIEW

     DeCrane Holdings is a holding company and does not have any material
operations other than its ownership of all of the capital stock of DeCrane
Aircraft. As described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements
included in this report, DeCrane Aircraft is the predecessor of DeCrane
Holdings, and the financial information presented for periods prior to the DLJ
acquisition is for DeCrane Aircraft.

     Our financial position and results of operations have been affected by our
history of acquisitions. Since DeCrane Aircraft's formation in 1989, we have
completed fourteen acquisitions of businesses or assets. As a result, our
historical financial statements do not reflect the financial position and
results of operations of our current businesses. Our most recent acquisitions,
which affect the comparability of the historical financial statements included
herein, consist of:

--   Avtech, acquired on June 26, 1998;

--   Dettmers, acquired on June 30, 1998;

--   PATS, acquired on January 22, 1999; and

--   PPI, acquired on April 23, 1999.

     Our historical financial statements included in this report reflect the
financial position and results of operations of the acquired businesses
subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. Additionally, DeCrane
Aircraft's capital structure was significantly altered in August 1998 by the
financing obtained to fund the tender offer for its stock in conjunction with
the DLJ acquisition.

     In August 1999, we purchased substantially all of the assets, subject to
accounts payable and accrued expenses assumed, of Custom Woodwork. Our
historical financial statements do not reflect the Custom Woodwork acquisition
since it was acquired subsequent to June 30, 1999.


                           INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND TRENDS

     During the first six months of 1999, Boeing, our largest customer,
initiated a program to reduce inventory levels and, in addition, they have
announced lower production rates for some of their models of commercial
aircraft. These factors have resulted in lower sales volume for various products
we supply to Boeing, most notably electrical contacts and connectors. We believe
the demand for these products will continue to be lower over the next twelve
months and possibly beyond.

     Offsetting this anticipated weakness in demand for products we supply to
the commercial aircraft market, is the high level of middle- and high-end
corporate aircraft production and consequent strong demand for cabin management
products we manufacture, such as audio and video systems, seats and furniture.
We anticipate this high level of demand for such products to continue for at
least the next twelve months.


                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     REVENUES. Revenues increased $32.8 million, or 110.0%, to $62.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $29.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. Revenues increased due to:

--   the inclusion of $33.4 million of revenues resulting from the Avtech,
     Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions; and

--   a $2.4 million increase in entertainment and cabin management products
     revenues.

                                       15

<PAGE>

     The increases were offset by:

--   a $2.5 million decrease in electrical contact revenues due to weak demand
     from our commercial aircraft customers; and

--   a $0.5 million net decrease in revenues from our other products and
     services.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $10.9 million, or 112.2%, to $20.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percent of
revenues increased to 32.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from 32.6% for
the same period last year. Factors contributing to the gross profit increase
were:

--   a contribution of $13.0 million from the acquired companies; and

--   a $1.3 million increase due to higher entertainment and cabin management
     products revenues.

     Offsetting the above favorable factors was:

--   a $1.7 million decrease due to lower overall margins for products and
     services supplied to commercial aircraft customers;

--   a $1.1 million charge for the portion of the PPI acquisition purchase price
     allocated to inventory and charged to operations as the inventory was sold
     during the three months ended June 30, 1999; and

--   a $0.6 million decrease due to lower electrical contact revenues,
     primarily from commercial aircraft customers.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3.8 million, or 71.2%, to $9.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $5.3 million for the same period last
year. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 14.5% for the second
quarter 1999 compared to 17.8% for the same period last year. SG&A expenses
increased as a result of:

--   a $3.4 million increase from the inclusion of expenses from the acquired
     companies; and

--   a $0.4 million increase in expenses in support of additional
     administrative activity.

     OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $4.6 million, or 114.3%, to
$8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $4.0 million for the
same period last year. Operating income as a percent of revenues increased to
13.8% for the second quarter of 1999, from 13.5% for the same quarter last year.
An increase in operating income of $9.6 million resulting from the inclusion of
the acquired companies was offset by:

--   $2.5 million of higher amortization expenses associated with the DLJ
     acquisition and the Avtech, Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions;

--   a $1.1 million charge for the portion of the PPI acquisition purchase
     price allocated to inventory and charged to operations during the period;

--   $1.0 million of lower gross profit and $0.4 higher SG&A expenses due
     to the factors described above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $6.6 million to $7.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $0.4 million for the same period
last year. Higher debt levels resulting from the tender offer and the Avtech,
Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions caused the increase.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes differs from the
amount determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal rate to the
income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the effects of state and
foreign income taxes and non-deductible expenses, principally goodwill
amortization. The difference in the effective tax rates between periods is
mostly a result of higher goodwill amortization.

     NET INCOME. Net income decreased $1.6 million, to $0.1 million for the
three months ended June 30,1999 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in
1998. The decrease was due to the factors described above.

     BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG. Bookings increased $24.0 million, or 72.5%, to $57.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $33.1 million for
the same period in 1998. Companies acquired contributed $27.7 million of the
increase. Backlog increased $64.8 million, or 85.9%, to $140.2 million as of
June 30, 1999 compared to $75.4 million as of December 31, 1998; $66.9 million
of the increase pertains to the acquired companies.

                                       16

<PAGE>

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased $53.6 million, or 90.9%, to $112.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $59.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. Revenues increased due to:

--   the inclusion of $53.0 million of revenues resulting from the Avtech,
     Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions; and

--   a $4.1 million increase in entertainment and cabin management products
     revenues.

     The increases were offset by:

--   a $3.2 million decrease in electrical contact revenues due to weak demand
     from our commercial aircraft customers; and

--   a $0.3 million net decrease in revenues from our other products and
     services.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $17.9 million, or 95.8%, to $36.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percent of
revenues increased to 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 31.7%
for the same period last year. Factors contributing to the gross profit increase
were:

--   the contribution from the acquired companies of $20.0 million; and

--   a $2.3 million increase due to higher entertainment and cabin management
     products revenues.

     Offsetting the above favorable factors was:

--   a $2.7 million decrease due to lower overall margins for products and
     services supplied to commercial aircraft customers;

--   a $1.1 million charge for the portion of the PPI acquisition purchase price
     allocated to inventory and charged to operations as the inventory was sold
     during the three months ended June 30, 1999; and

--   a $0.6 million decrease due to lower electrical contact revenues,
     primarily from commercial aircraft customers.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $7.1 million, or 69.4%, to $17.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, from $10.2 million for the same period last
year. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 15.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 17.3% for the same period last year. SG&A
expenses increased as a result of:

--   a $6.0 million increase from the inclusion of expenses from the acquired
     companies; and

--   a $1.1 million increase in expenses in support of additional
     administrative activity.

     OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $6.1 million to $13.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, from $7.8 million for the same period
last year. Operating income as a percent of revenues decreased to 12.4% for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, from 13.2% for the same period last year. An
increase in operating income of $14.0 million resulting from the acquisitions of
the acquired companies was offset by:

--   $4.7 million of higher amortization expenses associated with the DLJ
     acquisition and the Avtech, Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions;

--   a $1.1 million charge for the portion of the PPI acquisition purchase
     price allocated to inventory and charged to operations during the period;

--   $1.0 million of lower gross profit and $1.1 higher SG&A expenses due to
     the factors described above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $11.5 million to $12.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, from $1.2 million for the same period
last year. Higher debt levels resulting from the tender offer and the Avtech,
Dettmers, PATS and PPI acquisitions caused the increase.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes differs from the
amount determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal rate to the
income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the effects of state and
foreign income taxes and non-deductible expenses, principally goodwill
amortization. The difference in the effective tax rates between periods is
mostly a result of higher goodwill amortization.

                                       17

     NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income decreased $3.6 million, to a loss of $0.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to net income of $3.4
million for the same period in 1998. The decrease was due to the factors
described above.

     BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG. Bookings increased $42.7 million, or 69.1%, to $104.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $61.8 million for the
same period in 1998. Companies acquired contributed $43.3 million of the
increase. Backlog increased $64.8 million, or 85.9%, to $140.2 million as of
June 30, 1999 compared to $75.4 million as of December 31, 1998; $66.9 million
of the increase pertains to the acquired companies.


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, we generated $4.7 million of cash
from operating activities which is the net of $8.9 million of cash generated
from operations after adding back depreciation, amortization and other non-cash
items, $4.1 million used for working capital and $0.1 million resulting from a
decrease in other liabilities. The following factors contributed to the $4.1
million working capital increase:

--   accounts receivable increased $7.1 million due to higher sales; and

--   accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by a net $1.2 million as a
     result of payment timing patterns; offset by

--   inventory decreased by $2.4 million as a result of adjustments to
     inventory levels based on production forecasts.

     Cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30,
1999 consisted of $100.0 million for the PATS and PPI acquisitions, $3.0
million of contingent consideration paid during 1999 related to the 1997
Audio International acquisition, and $3.1 million for capital expenditures.
We anticipate spending $6.6 million for capital expenditures in 1999.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $101.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. In January 1999, the senior term loan facility
was amended to provide for an additional $20.0 million of term loan
borrowings. We used the funds obtained from the term loan borrowings, $14.9
million of borrowings under our acquisition revolving credit facility and a
$5.0 million customer advance to acquire all of the common stock of PATS.
In April 1999, we further amended our term loan facility and borrowed an
additional $70 million. We used $50.0 million of the proceeds to partially
fund the PPI acquisition and $20.0 million to repay borrowings under our
acquisition and working capital revolving credit facilities. In April 1999,
we sold 543,478 shares of common stock for $12.5 million and used the
proceeds to fund the remaining portion of the PPI acquisition. Subsequent to
June 30, 1999 we borrowed an additional $13.8 million under our acquisition
revolving credit facility to fund the Custom Woodwork acquisition.

     At June 30, 1999, senior credit facility borrowings totaling $172.4
million are at variable interest rates based on defined margins over the
current prime or Euro-Dollar rates. As of June 30, 1999 we had $58.2 million
of working capital, $22.0 million of borrowings available under our working
capital senior credit facility and $25.0 million available under our
acquisition senior credit facility. We believe that the current levels of
working capital and amounts available under our senior credit facilities will
enable us to meet our liquidity requirements for the next several years.

                    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires companies to
record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at
fair value. It also requires that gains or losses resulting from changes in
the values of those derivatives be accounted for depending on the use of the
derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Adoption of SFAS
No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 in June 1999, is required for the fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2001. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No.
133 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

         COMPLIANCE OF KEY SYSTEMS WITH YEAR 2000 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

     We are dependent in part on computer- and date-controlled systems for some
internal functions, particularly inventory control, purchasing, customer billing
and payroll. Similarly, suppliers of components and services on which we rely,
and our customers, may have Year 2000 compliance risks, which would affect their
operations and their transactions with us. Other parties with whom we have
commercial relationships, including raw materials suppliers and service
providers, such as banking and financial services, data processing services,
telecommunications services and utilities, are highly reliant on computer-based
technology.

     The costs we have incurred to remediate and test our systems, and
evaluate and address the risks of our key customers and vendors, have been
immaterial to date and we expect to incur less than $1.0 million of costs in
the aggregate. All of our Year 2000 compliance costs have been or are
expected to be funded from our operating cash flow. We believe the number of
products manufactured by us whose functioning is dependent upon
computer-controlled or other date-controlled systems is not significant. We
are not aware of any material customer- or vendor-related Year 2000 issues.
Our manufacturing operations and our products generally are not based upon
date-controlled machinery; our business operations and systems are not so
time-sensitive that brief interruptions, or a shift to backup paper records,
should cause significant losses.

     Our Year 2000 compliance efforts are directed primarily towards ensuring
that we will be able to continue to perform three critical functions:

--   make and sell our products,

--   order and receive raw material and supplies, and

--   pay our employees and vendors.

     Our assessment of year 2000 performance standards is complete for our
information technology systems and for those systems deemed to be critical to
our operations. Our initial review of third-party compliance risks from our key
vendors and customers has also been completed. We will continue our review of
data from all of those vendors and customers who responded during the second
quarter of 1999 to determine if additional steps are necessary to mitigate
risks. Our management does not anticipate any resulting failures in our systems,
products or supply chain that would disrupt our operations to a material degree
at this time. Between now and the end of the year, we will continue to test our
systems, monitor the readiness of our vendors and suppliers, and take necessary
actions to correct noncompliant systems.

     We have completed the renovation, upgrade or replacement of all of our
significant information technology systems for year 2000 performance standards,
except that during the third quarter of 1999 several of our subsidiaries will
complete the installation of an accounting and manufacturing system which
replaces existing systems not compliant with year 2000 performance standards. We
expect to complete this phase in the third quarter of 1999. All of our
significant systems which have been renovated or newly installed have been
tested and are presently operating.

     However, the novelty and complexity of the issues presented, and our
dependence on the technical skills of employees and independent contractors and
on the representations and preparedness of third parties, could cause our
efforts to be less than fully effective. Moreover, Year 2000 issues present a
number of risks that are beyond our control, such as the failure of utility
companies to deliver electricity, the failure of telecommunications companies to
provide voice and data services, the failure of financial institutions to
process transactions and transfer funds, the failure of vendors to deliver
materials or perform services required by us and the collateral effects on us of
the effects of Year 2000 issues on the economy in general or on our customers in
particular. Additionally, in view of the mixed results achieved by software
vendors in correcting these problems, we cannot assure you that new systems we
obtain to replace noncompliant systems will themselves prove to be fully
compliant. Although we believe that our compliance efforts are designed to
appropriately identify and address those Year 2000 issues that are subject to
our reasonable control, we cannot assure you that our efforts will be fully
effective, or that Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations. In the worst case, a
protracted failure of general business systems among our customers or vendors,
or in our own plant, could cause production delays or canceled orders which
would significantly reduce our revenue for the duration of such a situation. We
have not developed a contingency plan which assumes significant and protracted
Year 2000-related failures of major vendors, customers or systems, and do not
plan to do so.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are exposed to various market risks, including interest rates and
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss
arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates
and foreign currency exchange rates. From time to time we use derivative
financial instruments to manage and reduce risks associated with these factors.
We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.

     INTEREST RATE RISK.  A significant portion of our capital structure is
comprised of long-term variable- and fixed-rate debt.

     Market risk related to our variable-rate debt is estimated as the potential
decrease in pre-tax earnings resulting from an increase in interest rates. The
interest rates applicable to variable-rate debt are, at our option, based on
defined margins over the current prime or Euro-Dollar rates. At June 30, 1999,
the current prime rate was 7.75% and the current Euro-Dollar rate was 5.1%.
Based on $172.4 million of variable-rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 1999, a
hypothetical one percent rise in interest rates, to 8.75% for prime rate
borrowings and 6.1% for Euro-Dollar borrowings, would reduce our pre-tax
earnings by $1.7 million annually. Subsequent to June 30, 1999, we increased our
variable-rate debt by $13.8 million. Prior to December 31, 1997, we purchased
interest rate cap contracts to limit our exposure related to rising interest
rates on our variable-rate debt. While we have not entered into similar
contracts since that date, we may do so in the future depending on our
assessment of future interest rate trends.

     At June 30, 1999, the carrying value of our fixed-rate long-term debt
approximated its fair value. Market risk related to our fixed-rate debt is
deemed to be the potential increase in fair value resulting from a decrease in
interest rates. For example, a hypothetical ten percent decrease in the interest
rates, from 12.0% to 10.8%, would increase the fair value of our fixed-rate debt
by approximately $7.0 million.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK. Our customers are located in various
parts of the world, primarily Western Europe, the Far East and Canada, and two
of our subsidiaries operate in Western Europe. To limit our foreign currency
exchange rate risk related to sales to our customers, orders are primarily
valued and sold in U.S. dollars. From time to time we have entered into forward
foreign exchange contracts to limit our exposure related to foreign inventory
procurement and operating costs. However, we have not entered into any such
contracts during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and no such contracts are
open as of that date.


                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Some of the statements in this report discuss future expectations, beliefs
or strategies, projections or other "forward-looking" information. These
statements are subject to known and unknown risks. Many factors could cause
actual company results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be
materially different from the projections expressed or implied by this report.
Some of those risks are specifically described in the "Risk Factors" section in
our prospectus dated May 14, 1999, but we are also vulnerable to a variety of
elements that affect many businesses, such as:

--   fuel prices and general economic conditions that affect demand for aircraft
     and air travel, which in turn affect demand for our products and services;

--   changes in prevailing interest rates and the availability of financing to
     fund our plans for continued growth;

--   inflation, and other general changes in costs of goods and services;

--   liability and other claims asserted against us;

--   the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

--   labor disturbances; and

--   changes in operating strategy, or our acquisition and capital expenditure
     plans.

     We cannot predict any of the foregoing with certainty, so our
forward-looking statements are not necessarily accurate predictions. Also, we
are not obligated to update any of these statements, to reflect actual
results or report later developments. You should not rely on our
forward-looking statements as if they were certainties.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     As part of its investigation of the crash off the Canadian coast on
September 2, 1998 of Swissair Flight 111, the Canadian Transportation Safety
Board notified us that they recovered burned wire which was attached to the
in-flight entertainment system installed on some of Swissair's aircraft by one
of our subsidiaries. Attorneys for families of persons who died aboard the
flight requested that we put our insurance carrier on notice of a potential
claim by those families, and we did so. The Transportation Safety Board has
advised us that it has no evidence that the system we installed malfunctioned or
failed during the flight. We are fully cooperating with the investigation.

     On August 3, 1999 families of persons who died aboard the flight filed an
action in federal court in California against our subsidiary Hollingsead and two
other unaffiliated parties allegedly doing business in California, claiming
negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty relating to the installation
and testing of the in-flight entertainment system. The action seeks compensatory
and punitive damages and costs in an unstated amount. Discovery has not yet
commenced. We intend to defend vigorously against the claim. Actions were also
previously filed in other jurisdictions against other unaffiliated parties,
including Swissair and Boeing.

     In August 1998, DeCrane Aircraft and R. Jack DeCrane, its chief executive
officer, were served in an action filed in state court in California by Robert
A. Rankin, claiming that he was due additional compensation in the form of stock
options, and claiming fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract
in connection therewith, fraudulent misrepresentation in violation of provisions
of the California Labor Code for which doubled damages are sought, promissory
estoppel, and wrongful discharge in violation of public policy as a result of
his allegations of improprieties in connection with the DLJ acquisition
transactions. The plaintiff later amended his complaint to allege breach of an
implied contract as well. The action seeks not less than $1.5 million plus
punitive damages and costs. Discovery has not been completed. We intend to
vigorously defend against the claim. Mr. Rankin's employment with DeCrane
Aircraft was terminated.
