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 statement 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, 1999 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 audited financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. Some reclassifications have been made
to prior periods' financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company acquired:

     CABIN MANAGEMENT GROUP

     -    substantially all of the assets of Carl F. Booth & Co., Inc., an
          Indiana-based manufacturer of wood veneer panels primarily used in
          aircraft interior cabinetry, on May 11, 2000;

     -    all of the common stock of ERDA, Inc., a Wisconsin-based designer and
          manufacturer of aircraft seating, on June 30, 2000; and

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS GROUP

     -    all of the common stock of Coltech, Inc., an Arizona-based designer
          and manufacturer of audio components for commercial and corporate
          aircraft, on August 31, 2000.

     The total purchase price was $58,682,000, including certain liabilities
assumed of $1,586,000, but not including contingent consideration of $2,000,000
related to one of the acquisitions and an indeterminable amount for another. The
contingent consideration is payable over three years based on future attainment
of defined performance criteria. The acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at
their estimated fair values, including $18,936,000 related to identifiable
intangible assets. The $31,466,000 difference between the total purchase price
and the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

     The purchase price allocations are preliminary and may change upon the
completion of the final valuations of the net assets acquired. 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 consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 reflects the
financial position of the companies acquired and the consolidated statements of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 include
their operating results subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.

     The acquisitions were funded with borrowings under the Company's senior
credit facility as described in Note 7 and the proceeds from the sale of capital
stock described in Note 9.

     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.


NOTE 4 - 1999 RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP

     In December 1999, the Company announced a plan to reorganize and
restructure the operations of two subsidiaries within its Systems Integration
Group. The restructuring was a result of management's decision to exit the
manufacturing business at these subsidiaries and consolidate and relocate
operations into one facility to more efficiently and effectively manage the
business and be more competitive.

     In 1999, the Company recorded nonrecurring pre-tax charges to operations of
$9,935,000 in connection with the restructuring plan as described below:

     -    Inventory write-downs to net realizable value as a consequence of
          exiting the manufacturing business;

     -    Certain property and equipment asset impairment write-downs to net
          realizable value related to the closing of a manufacturing facility;

     -    Severance and other compensation costs related to the termination of
          approximately fifty manufacturing and administrative employees upon
          closing of the manufacturing facility, which ceased operations on June
          2, 2000, and elimination of duplicate administrative personnel
          following the consolidation of the operations;

     -    Lease termination and other related costs expected to be incurred
          during the remaining term of a long-term lease agreement at the
          facility being vacated following the restructuring, net of expected
          sublease income; and

     -    Other exit costs, principally legal and consulting fees.

     The Company commenced the restructuring during 1999 and completed the plan
in the third quarter of 2000. Of the total charge, $7,242,000 represented a
noncash write-down of assets. As of December 31, 1999, $7,754,000 had been
incurred and the remaining $2,181,000 was reflected as an accrued liability.
Components of the amounts incurred through September 30, 2000 are as follows
(amounts in thousands):

NOTE 4 - 1999 RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP (CONTINUED)

     Through September 30, 2000, severance and other compensation costs of
approximately $1,077,000 have been paid to date to approximately fifty
employees, of which $784,000 was incurred during the nine months ended September
30, 2000. The amounts paid to date have been primarily to manufacturing
employees either terminated or subject to termination as the Company phases out
of the manufacturing business. No significant adjustments have been made to the
original estimates.

     The remaining balance of restructuring costs includes lease termination and
other exit costs. The restructuring plan was completed in the third quarter of
2000, however, future cash payments will extend beyond this date due to future
lease payments on the vacated facility and the incurrence of other exit costs.
The cash payments will be funded from existing cash balances and internally
generated cash from operations.

</TABLE>

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company amended its
senior credit facility and borrowed an additional $55,000,000 under the term
loan facility and used the proceeds to partially fund the acquisitions described
in Note 2. The amendment increased the prime and Euro-Dollar interest rate
margins charged on the loans. Currently, the applicable margins are 1.50% to
2.75% for prime rate borrowings and 2.75% to 4.00% for Euro-Dollar rate
borrowings.


NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

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


NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company and DeCrane
Aircraft, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, sold capital stock and used the
net proceeds to partially fund the acquisitions described in Note 2.

NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STRUCTURE (CONTINUED)

DECRANE AIRCRAFT MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

     DeCrane Aircraft is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par
value preferred stock. On June 30, 2000, DeCrane Aircraft designated 700,000
of those shares to be 16% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock Due
2009. The preferred stock has a $100.00 per share liquidation preference,
plus accrued and unpaid cash dividends, and is non-voting. The DeCrane
Aircraft preferred stock dividend and redemption obligations rank senior to
the Company's preferred stock obligations described below.

     Holders of the DeCrane Aircraft senior redeemable preferred stock are
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared, dividends at a rate equal to
16% per annum. Prior to June 30, 2005, DeCrane Aircraft may, at its option,
pay dividends either in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of
preferred stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, DeCrane
Aircraft will elect to issue 10,000 additional shares in lieu of a cash
dividend payment. The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable on March 31,
2009. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined, each holder has
the right to require DeCrane Aircraft to redeem all or part of such holder's
shares at a price equal to 101% of the liquidation preference (116% if prior
to July 1, 2001), plus accrued and unpaid cash dividends.

DECRANE HOLDINGS MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the liquidation
preference of the DeCrane Holdings preferred stock increased by $4,477,000 to
reflect non-cash dividend accretion. The dividend accretion was charged to
additional paid-in capital. In connection with DeCrane Aircraft's issuance of
preferred stock, the non-cash dividend period of DeCrane Holdings' preferred
stock was extended two years to September 30, 2005. The preferred stock has a
total liquidation value of $45,655,000 ($133.33 per share) as of September
30, 2000. The DeCrane Holdings preferred stock dividend and redemption
obligations are subordinate to DeCrane Aircraft's preferred stock obligations.

COMMON STOCK AND NOTES RECEIVABLE FOR SHARES SOLD

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company increased
to 10,000,000 the total number of authorized common shares and sold 346,794
shares of common stock, including 20,707 shares to management and a
non-employee director, for $7,976,000 or $23.00 per share. The Company also
repurchased 4,347 shares of common stock from a former employee at $23.00 per
share.

NOTE 12 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

     During 1999, the Company reorganized its businesses into three separate
groups: Cabin Management, Specialty Avionics and Systems Integration. As
prescribed by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," the Company has restated disclosure information for
earlier periods to reflect its three separate operating groups.

     The Company supplies products and services to the general aviation
industry. The Company's subsidiaries are organized into three groups, each of
which are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each business
develops, manufactures and sells distinct products and services. The groups and
a description of their businesses are as follows:

     -        Cabin Management - provides interior cabin components for the
              corporate aircraft market, including furniture, cabinetry,
              seats and in-flight entertainment systems;

     -        Specialty Avionics - designs, engineers and manufacturers
              electronic components, display devices and interconnect
              components and assemblies; and

     -        Systems Integration - provides auxiliary fuel tanks, auxiliary
              power units and systems integration services.

     Management utilizes more than one measurement to evaluate group
performance and allocate resources, however, management considers EBITDA to
be the primary measurement of their overall economic returns and cash flows.
Management defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, non-cash acquisition related charges and other
non-operating costs. This is consistent with the manner in which the
Company's lenders and ultimate investors measure its overall performance.

NOTE 13 - SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     In conjunction with the senior credit facility and 12% senior
subordinated notes described in Note 7, 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.

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

     Our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows have been
affected by our history of acquisitions. Since January 1, 1999, we have
completed nine acquisitions and, as a result, our historical financial
statements do not reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of our current businesses. The companies we have acquired since January 1,
1999, which affect the comparability of the historical financial statements
included herein, consist of:

     CABIN MANAGEMENT GROUP

     -        PPI, acquired on April 23, 1999;

     -        Custom Woodwork, acquired on August 5, 1999;

     -        PCI NewCo, acquired on October 6, 1999;

     -        International Custom Interiors, acquired on October 8, 1999;

     -        The Infinity Partners, acquired on December 17, 1999;

     -        Carl F. Booth, acquired on May 11, 2000;

     -        ERDA, acquired on June 30, 2000;

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS GROUP

     -        Coltech, acquired on August 31, 2000; and

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP

     -        PATS, acquired on January 22, 1999.

     Our historical financial statements reflect the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the companies we acquired subsequent to their
respective 1999 and 2000 acquisition dates.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     REVENUES. Revenues increased $27.9 million, or 42.8%, to $93.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $65.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The increase primarily results from the
inclusion of revenues in 2000 from companies we acquired during 1999 and 2000.
By segment, revenues changed as follows:

</TABLE>

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  Revenues increased by $27.8 million, or 123.6% over
the prior year, due to:

     -   the inclusion of $23.4 million of revenues resulting from our
         acquisitions of Custom Woodwork, PCI NewCo, International Custom
         Interiors and Infinity in 1999 and Carl F. Booth and ERDA in 2000;
         and

     - a $4.4 million increase in entertainment and cabin management product
         revenues primarily relating to volume growth.

                                       17

<PAGE>

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  Revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 8.0% over
the prior year, due to volume growth for our commercial aircraft interconnect
products.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION.  Revenues decreased by $2.1 million, or 12.4% from
the prior year, primarily due to the timing of when orders are received
versus shipped.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $8.0 million, or 34.7%, to $31.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase primarily
results from the inclusion of gross profit in 2000 from companies we acquired
in 1999 and 2000. Gross profit as a percent of revenues decreased to 33.4%
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 35.4% for the same period
last year primarily as a result of companies acquired during 2000 and in 1999
that recorded lower margins. By segment, gross profit changed as follows:

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  Gross profit increased by $6.1 million, or 66.4% over
the prior year, due to:

     -        the inclusion of $7.7 million of gross profit resulting from
              our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions; offset by

     -        a $1.6 million decrease resulting from higher engineering costs
              associated with developing of new entertainment system products.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  Gross profit increased by $1.0 million, or 11.8%
from the prior year, primarily due to sales volume increases and product mix.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. Gross profit increased by $0.9 million, or 16.7%
over the prior year, due to auxiliary fuel tank manufacturing and
installation efficiencies achieved and the 1999 restructuring and exit from
the manufacturing business described in Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 15.0%, to $11.5 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $10.0 million for the
same period last year. The increase primarily results from the inclusion of
$2.0 million of SG&A expenses in 2000 from companies we acquired during 1999
and 2000. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 12.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 15.3% for the same period
last year. By segment, SG&A expenses changed as follows:

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Depreciation and
amortization expense, which includes amortization of goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets, increased $1.6 million, or 28.6%, for the
three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase results from the
inclusion of $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense in 2000
from companies we acquired during 1999 and 2000 and additional depreciation
reflecting our capital expenditures during the period.

     EBITDA AND OPERATING INCOME. EBITDA increased $6.5 million to $22.2
million, or 41.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $15.7
million for the same period last year. The increase primarily results from
the contribution to year 2000 results from companies we acquired during 1999

</TABLE>

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  EBITDA increased by $5.1 million, or 70.8% over the
prior year, due to:

     -        a $7.1 million increase resulting from our acquisitions; offset
              by

     -        a $2.0 million decrease resulting from higher labor costs
              associated with developing of new entertainment system products.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  EBITDA increased by $1.1 million, or 17.2% from the
prior year, due to:

     -        $1.0 million of growth related to product sales; and

     -        $0.1 million resulting from our acquisitions.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. EBITDA increased by $0.3 million, or 8.3% over the
prior year, due to the timing of when orders are received versus shipped. While
not affecting the comparison of 1999 to 2000 results, we charged $0.7 million to
the accrued liability established in 1999 for such restructuring; no adjustments
have been made to our original 1999 estimates.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $4.1 million to $11.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $7.2 million for the same
period last year. Interest expense increased:

     -        $3.6 million due to higher debt levels associated with our
              acquisition of companies during 1999 and 2000; and

     -        $0.5 million due to higher average interest rates charged
              during 2000.

     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 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 the relationship of non-deductible expenses to income
before income taxes.

     NET INCOME. Net income increased $0.2 million to $0.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $0.7 million for the same
period in 1999.

     NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS. Net loss applicable to common
stockholders increased $1.0 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 1999. The net
increase resulted from:

     -        a $1.0 million increase in accrued dividends resulting from
              DeCrane Aircraft's issuance of 16% mandatorily redeemable
              preferred stock on June 30, 2000; and

     -        a $0.2 million increase in noncash preferred stock dividend
              accretion on our 14% mandatorily redeemable preferred stock;
              offset by

     -        a $0.2 increase in net income.

     BOOKINGS. Bookings increased $34.5 million, or 54.4%, to $97.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $63.4 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase in bookings for 2000 results from:

     -        a $27.0 million increase associated with companies we acquired
              in 1999 and 2000; and

     -        a $7.5 million increase related to business growth, principally
              in Cabin Management's furniture product lines.

     BACKLOG AT END OF PERIOD. Backlog increased $17.2 million, or 11.0%, to
$173.3 million as of September 30, 2000 compared to $156.1 million as of
December 31, 1999. The increase primarily results from the timing of receipt of
customer orders. By segment, backlog changed as follows:

     -        a $10.4 million increase related to Cabin Management companies
              acquired companies in 2000;

     -        a $5.3 million increase related to Specialty Avionics,
              reflecting a recovery in demand for some of our commercial
              aircraft products; and

     -        a $1.5 million increase related to Systems Integration,
              resulting from the timing of when orders are received versus
              when they are shipped.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED

     -        the inclusion of $72.4 million of revenues resulting from our
              acquisitions of PPI, Custom Woodwork, PCI NewCo, International
              Custom Interiors and Infinity in 1999 and Carl F. Booth and ERDA
              in 2000; and

     -        a $6.7 million increase in entertainment and cabin management
              product revenues reflecting primarily a higher volume of
              corporate jet production by original equipment manufacturers
              (OEM's).

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  Revenues decreased by $4.8 million, or 5.6% from
the prior year, due to somewhat lower demand for our commercial aircraft
products during the first two quarters of the year.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. Revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 4.6% over
the prior year, due to the inclusion of PATS for the full nine months of
2000; PATS was acquired on January 22, 1999.

1999 and 2000. Gross profit as a percent of revenues decreased to 33.4% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 33.6% for the same period last year
primarily as a result of lower margins in Cabin Management entertainment
products and Specialty Avionics products. By segment, gross profit changed as

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  Gross profit increased by $22.6 million, or 109.7%
over the prior year, due to:

     -        a $25.0 million increase in gross profit resulting from our
              1999 and 2000 acquisitions; offset by

     -        lower margins in our entertainment systems products; and

     -        production startup inefficiencies at a new manufacturing
              facility.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS. Gross profit decreased by $3.2 million, or 11.3% from
the prior year, due to somewhat lower demand for our commercial aircraft
products as a result of lower commercial jet production by Boeing and price
reductions to several large customers.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION.  Gross profit increased by $5.7 million, or 52.3%
over the prior year, due to:

     -        a $5.2 million increase in gross profit resulting from
              favorable auxiliary fuel tank manufacturing and installation
              efficiencies achieved; and

     -        a $0.5 million reduction in engineering costs attributable to

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  SG&A expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 62.9%
over the prior year, due to:

     -        the inclusion of $4.9 million related to our 1999 and 2000
              acquisitions; offset by

     -        a $0.5 million decrease in expenses resulting from the
              consolidation of administrative activities.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  SG&A expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 11.8%
from the prior year, due to reduced selling costs related to lower sales.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION.  SG&A expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 22.2%
over the prior year, due to:

     -        a $0.5 million increase in SG&A expenses resulting from an
              increase in engineering project management.

     -        a $0.7 million increase in expenses from additional sales and
              program management resources.

     CORPORATE. SG&A expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 17.0% over the
prior year due to increased spending for sales and marketing programs during
the first two quarters.

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Depreciation and
amortization expense, which includes amortization of goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets, increased $5.9 million, or 43.3%, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase results from the inclusion
of $3.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense in 2000 from
companies we acquired during 1999 and 2000 and additional depreciation
reflecting our capital expenditures during the period.

     EBITDA AND OPERATING INCOME. EBITDA increased $20.5 million to $59.3
million, or 52.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $38.8
million for the same period last year. The increase primarily results from
the contribution to year 2000 results from companies we acquired during 1999
and 2000. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 23.3% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from 21.8% for the same period last year.
Operating income increased $16.5 million to $39.5 million, or 71.8%, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $23.0 million for the same period
last year. By segment, EBITDA changed as follows:

</TABLE>

     CABIN MANAGEMENT.  EBITDA increased by $18.0 million, or 115.4% over the
prior year, due to acquisitions and increased production of corporate jets by
OEM's.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS. EBITDA decreased by $1.3 million, or 6.2% from the
prior year, due to somewhat lower demand for our commercial aircraft products
as a result of lower commercial jet production by Boeing.

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION.  EBITDA increased by $4.3 million, or 65.2% from
the prior year, due to:

     -        a $1.7 million increase resulting primarily from favorable
              manufacturing efficiencies of auxiliary fuel tanks and power
              units; and

     -        a $2.6 million increase resulting, in part, from improved
              operating results subsequent to our 1999 restructuring which
              included our exit from the manufacturing business. While not
              affecting the comparison of 1999 to 2000 results, we charged
              $2.0 million to the accrued liability established in 1999 for
              such restructuring; no adjustments have been made to our
              original 1999 estimates.

     CORPORATE. EBITDA decreased by $0.5 million, or 11.6% over the prior year,
due to increased spending for sales and marketing programs during the first two
quarters of 2000.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $10.1 million to $30.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $19.9 million for the same
period last year. Interest expense increased:

     -        $8.2 million due to higher debt levels associated with our
              acquisition of companies during 1999 and 2000; and

     -        $1.9 million due to higher average interest rates charged
              during 2000.

     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 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 the
relationship of non-deductible expenses to income before income taxes.

     NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income increased $3.1 million to $3.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $0.5 million for the same
period in 1999.

                                       22

     NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS. Net loss applicable to common
stockholders decreased $1.6 million to $1.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 1999. The net
decrease resulted from: o a $3.1 increase in net income; offset by

     -        a $1.0 million increase in accrued dividends resulting from
              DeCrane Aircraft's issuance of 16% mandatorily redeemable
              preferred stock on June 30, 2000; and

     -        a $0.5 million increase in noncash preferred stock dividend
              accretion on our 14% mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.

     BOOKINGS. Bookings increased $35.6 million, or 15.7%, to $262.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $226.4 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase in bookings for 2000 results from:

     -        a $15.7 million increase associated with companies we acquired
              in 1999 and 2000; and

     -        a $19.9 million increase related to business growth,
              principally in Cabin Management's furniture product lines.

                     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We have required cash primarily to fund acquisitions and, to a lesser
extent, to fund capital expenditures and for working capital. Our principal
sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operations, third party borrowings
and the issuance of common and preferred stock.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we used $2.2 million of cash
for operating activities, which is the net of $29.7 million of cash generated
from operations after adding back depreciation, amortization and other noncash
items, $30.8 million used for working capital and $1.1 million resulting from a
decrease in other liabilities. The following factors contributed to the $30.8
million working capital increase:

     -        a $15.9 million accounts receivable increase due to higher
              revenues, timing differences relating to completing of projects
              and the associated collection;

     -        a $9.0 million increase in inventory due to longer production
              lead times and inventory level increases to meet current and
              projected revenue growth;

     -        a $1.2 million increase in prepaid and other assets; and

     -        a $5.7 million net decrease in current liabilities; offset by

     -        a $1.0 million increase in income taxes payable due to higher
              current taxable income.

     Cash used for investing activities was $104.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, and consisted of:

     -        $57.0 million for our Carl Booth, ERDA and Coltech
              acquisitions;

     -        $30.1 million for contingent consideration earned in 1999 and
              paid in 2000; and

     -        $17.7 million for capital expenditures, including $5.7 million
              for the purchase of a furniture manufacturing facility for our
              Cabin Management Group.

     We anticipate spending $21.4 million for capital expenditures in 2000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $101.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and was primarily used to fund our acquisitions.
We obtained these funds by borrowing $71.4 million under our senior credit
facility, selling $25.0 million of DeCrane Aircraft 16% mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock and $8.0 million of common stock. We used $4.1 million to make
principal payments on our senior term debt, capitalized leases and other debt,
and paid $2.0 million of financing costs.

                                       23

<PAGE>

     At September 30, 2000, senior credit facility borrowings totaling $281.5
million are at variable interest rates based on defined margins over the current
prime or Euro-Dollar rates. At September 30, 2000 we had $86.3 million of
working capital and had $18.1 million of borrowings available under our working
capital credit facility and $15.5 million available under our acquisition credit
facility. Although we cannot be certain, we believe that operating cash flow,
together with borrowings under our bank credit facility, will be sufficient to
meet our future short- and long-term operating expenses, working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and debt service obligations for the next
twelve months. However, our ability to pay principal or interest, to refinance
our debt and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend on our future
operating performance. We will be affected by economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory, business and other factors beyond our control. In
addition, we are continually considering acquisitions that complement or expand
our existing businesses or that may enable us to expand into new markets. Future
acquisitions may require additional debt, equity financing or both. We may not
be able to obtain any additional financing on acceptable terms.


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 September 30, 2000, the current prime rate was 9.50% and the current
Euro-Dollar rate was 6.62%. Based on $281.5 million of variable-rate debt
outstanding as of September 30, 2000, a hypothetical one percent rise in
interest rates, to 10.50% for prime rate borrowings and 7.62% for Euro-Dollar
borrowings, would reduce our pre-tax earnings by $2.8 million annually. 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.

     The estimated fair value of our $100.0 million fixed-rate long-term debt
is approximately $92.0 million at September 30, 2000. 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 foreign 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, while we have
not entered into any such contracts since 1998 and no such contracts are open
as of September 30, 2000, we may do so in the future depending on our
assessment of future foreign exchange rate trends.

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

     -        competition from larger companies;

     -        Federal Aviation Administration prescribed standards and
              licensing requirements, which apply many of the products and

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

     -        liability and other claims asserted against us that exceeds our
              insurance coverage;

     -        the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

     -        labor disturbances; and
