COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Each director who is not an employee of the Company receives an annual
retainer fee of $12,000 per year for serving as a director. In addition, each
director who is not an employee of the Company receives $1,000 for each meeting
of the board attended and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended.

         All directors receive on an annual basis a mandatory stock option grant
under the 1996 Director Stock Option Plan for serving on the Company's board.
Five-year options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock are automatically
granted to each director on July 1 of each year, at an option exercise price
equal to the closing price of common stock on July 1. All such options are
immediately exercisable on the date of grant. Existing directors, upon the
organization of the Company were granted five-year options to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock, all of which were immediately exercisable, at an option
exercise price equal to the initial public offering price. Additionally,
directors appointed to the Company's board are and will in the future be granted
options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at the time they are appointed
to the board, at an option exercise price equal to the closing price of common
stock on the date of their appointment to the board.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         On January 1, 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with Dale S. Baker. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary
of $550,000 (to be increased annually by a cost of living adjustment). In
addition, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Baker with all employee benefits
available under benefit plans established by the Company, and to pay Mr. Baker
an additional sum of $5,000 per year for insurance premiums to maintain a whole
life insurance policy. The employment agreement requires Mr. Baker to use his
best efforts to perform the duties of President and Chief Executive Officer. The
agreement provides for a term expiring on January 1, 2002.

         The employment agreement further provides for an option grant to
purchase 350,000 shares of common stock (granted outside of any plan) at $40.625
per share, with one-third of the options granted vesting on January 1, 2000,
one-third of the options granted vesting on January 1, 2001, and one-third of
the options granted vesting on January 1, 2002. The employment agreement also
provides for Mr. Baker's participation in the Aviation Sales Company 1999 EBITDA
Plan which allows him to earn an incentive bonus of between 50% and 125% of his
base salary.

         Mr. Woody has an employment agreement with the Company under which he
is entitled to an annual base salary of $212,500 (to be increased annually by a
cost of living adjustment), and all employee benefits available under benefit
plans the Company establishes. This employment agreement provides for an initial
term expiring on December 31, 1999. Thereafter, the respective agreement shall
run for successive one-year periods unless the Company terminates the agreement
upon six months' prior written notice, or Mr. Woody terminates the agreement
upon three months' prior written notice.

         On January 1, 1999, the Company entered into employment agreements with
James D. Innella and Benito Quevedo to serve as Senior Vice Presidents and as
President of the Company's redistribution operations and the Company's
maintenance and repair operations, respectively, under which they are each
entitled to an annual base salary of $350,000 (to be increased annually by a
cost of living adjustment), and all employee benefits available under benefit
plans established by the Company. Mr. Innella's and Mr. Quevedo's agreements
provide for a term expiring on January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2002,
respectively.

         The employment agreements with Messrs. Innella and Quevedo further
provide for option grants to each to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock
(granted outside of any plan) at $40.625 per share, with one-third of the
options granted vesting on January 1, 2000, one-third of the options granted
vesting on January 1, 2001, and one-third of the options granted vesting on
January 1, 2002. The employment agreements also provide for Messrs. Innella's
and Quevedo's participation in the Aviation Sales Company 1999 EBITDA Plan,
which provides each with the opportunity to earn an incentive bonus of between
50% and 125% of his base salary.

         Mr. Saso has an employment agreement with the Company's redistribution
operation under which he serves as Senior Vice President, Purchasing of that
operation and is entitled to an annual base salary of $185,000 (to be increased
annually by a cost of living adjustment), and all employee benefits available
under Company benefit plans. The agreement provides

                                        7

<PAGE>



for an initial term expiring on May 31, 2001, running for successive one-year
terms thereafter, unless the Company terminates the agreement upon six months'
prior written notice, or Mr. Saso terminates the agreement upon three months'
prior written notice.

         The employment agreements with Messrs. Woody and Saso also provide for
their participation in the Company's 1997 EBITDA Incentive Compensation Plan,
which provides that each of them has the opportunity to earn an incentive bonus
of between 20% and 250% of their base salary.

         Further, each of the Company's employment agreements provides for
certain benefits in the event of a change of control.

         Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows an
income tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1.0 million paid
in a year to any one of the chief executive officer or the four most highly
compensated other executive officers, to the extent that this compensation is
not "performance based" within the meaning of Section 162(m). As a result of
this limitation, no assurance can be given that all of the compensation paid to
the Company's executive officers in the future will be deductible.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

         The board of directors of the Company and stockholders have adopted two
stock option plans (the "Plans"). Pursuant to the 1996 Director Stock Option
Plan (the "Director Plan"), options to acquire a maximum of the greater of
150,000 shares or 2% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding
may be granted to directors of the Company. Pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option
Plan (the "1996 Plan"), options to acquire a maximum of the greater of 650,000
shares common stock or 8% of the number of shares of common stock then
outstanding may be granted to the executive officers, employees (including
employees who are directors), independent contractors and consultants of the
Company. As of the date of this Form 10-K/A, options to purchase 702,391 shares
at exercise prices ranging from $11.31 per share to $37.44 per share are
currently outstanding under both plans, 572,569 of which are immediately
exercisable.

         The compensation committee administers the Plans. Prior to the
formation of the compensation committee, the board administered both plans. The
compensation committee determines which persons will receive options and the
number of options to be granted to such persons. The Director Plan also provides
for annual mandatory grants of options to directors. The compensation committee
also interprets the provisions of the Plans and makes all other determinations
that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plans.

         Pursuant to both of the Plans, the Company may grant incentive stock
options as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and
non-qualified stock options, not intended to qualify under Section 422(b). The
price at which the Company's common stock may be purchased upon the exercise of
options granted under the Plans will be required to be at least equal to the per
share fair market value of common stock on the date the particular options are
granted. Options granted under either of the Plans may have maximum terms of not
more than ten years and are not transferable, except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution. None of the incentive stock options under the Plans
may be granted to an individual owning more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock issued by the Company unless the purchase
price of common stock under such option is at least 110% of the fair market
value of the shares issuable on exercise of the option determined as of the date
the option is granted, and such option is not exercisable more than five years
after the grant date.

         Generally, options granted under the Plans may remain outstanding and
may be exercised at any time up to three months after the person to whom such
options were granted is no longer employed or retained by the Company or serving
on the Company's board.

         Pursuant to the Plans, unless otherwise determined by the compensation
committee, one-third of the options granted to an individual are exercisable
upon grant, one-third are exercisable on the first anniversary of such grant and
the final one-third are exercisable on the second anniversary of such grant.
However, options granted under the Plans become immediately exercisable if the
Company terminates the holder of such options or if the holder is no longer a
director of the

                                        8

<PAGE>



Company, as the case may be, subsequent to certain events which are deemed to be
a "change in control" of the Company. A "change in control" of the Company
generally is deemed to occur when:

         (i)      any person becomes the beneficial owner of or acquires voting
                  control with respect to more than 20% of common stock (or 35%
                  if such person was a holder of common stock on July 2, 1996,
                  the date of the Company's initial public offering);

         (ii)     a change occurs in the composition of a majority of the
                  Company's board of directors during a two-year period,
                  provided that a change with respect to a member of the
                  Company's board shall be deemed not to have occurred if the
                  appointment of a member of the Company's board is approved by
                  a vote of at least 75% of the individuals who constitute the
                  then existing board; or

         (iii)    the Company's stockholders approve the sale of all or
                  substantially all of the assets of the Company.

         Incentive stock options granted under the Plans are subject to the
restriction that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of
grant) of options which first become exercisable in any calendar year cannot
exceed $100,000.

         The Plans provide for appropriate adjustments in the number and type of
shares covered by the Plans and options granted under the Plans in the event of
any reorganization, merger, recapitalization or certain other transactions
involving the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         During the past fiscal year, none of the Company's directors or
executive officers served as a member of the compensation committee or similar
committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the
Company's board or served as a director of another entity, one of whose
executive officers served on the Company's board, or served as a member of the
compensation committee or similar committee of any other entity, one of whose
executive officers served as the Company's director.

ITEM 12.          SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

         The following table sets forth, as of the date of this Form 10-K/A,
certain information regarding the Company's common stock owned of record or
beneficially by: (1) each person who owns more than 5% of the outstanding common
stock, (2) each named executive officer of the Company, (3) each director of the
Company , and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group.

         Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and includes generally voting power and/or
investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to
options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this
report are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage
beneficially owned by the person holding the options but are not deemed

ITEM 13.          CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         As of December 2, 1994, the Company entered into a 20-year lease with
Aviation Properties, a Delaware general partnership ("Aviation Properties"),
pursuant to which the Company leases its corporate headquarters and warehouse in
Miami, Florida (the "Miami Property"). The Company makes annual payments under
such lease in the amount of approximately $892,990. The sole partners of
Aviation Properties are (a) AVAC Corporation ("AVAC") and (b) J/T Aviation
Partners ("J/T"). The sole stockholder and president of AVAC is Robert Alpert, a
principal stockholder and director of the Company, and J/T was previously a
principal stockholder of the Company.

         In connection with Aviation Properties' purchase of the Miami Property,
the Company and Aviation Properties entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan
Agreement") whereby the Company made a $2,465,519 loan to Aviation Properties,
which loan bears interest at 8% per annum, with principal and interest due in a
single payment on December 2, 2004.

         As of December 2, 1994, the Company entered into a six-year lease with
Aviation Properties of Texas, a Delaware general partnership ("AVTEX"), pursuant
to which the Company leases a warehouse in Pearland, Texas. The Company make
annual payments under such lease in the amount of $114,468. The sole partners of
AVTEX are AVAC and J/T.

         In March 1998, Aviation Sales Distribution Services Company ("ASDS"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AVS, acquired the Pearland Property from AVTEX in
exchange for (i) ASDS 's cancellation of all outstanding principal balance and
unpaid accrued interest on a promissory note of AVTEX held by ASDS in the
principal amount of $434,244 and (ii) ASDS's assumption of indebtedness in the
principal amount of $1,128,855 which was secured by a deed of trust in favor of
a third party.

         In July 1998, the Company entered into an approximately 19 month lease
for the 30,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility in Miami, Florida
used by its subsidiary Caribe Aviation, Inc. (the "Caribe Facility Lease"). The
lessor under the Caribe Facility Lease is Ben Quevedo, No. 1, Ltd., a limited
partnership controlled by Benito Quevedo (the "Quevedo Partnership"), an
executive officer of the Company. The Company makes monthly payments to the
lessor under the Caribe Facility Lease of approximately $21,515 in rent and
$2,500 in pass through operating costs.

         The Company believes the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the
leases with Aviation Properties, AVTEX and the Quevedo Partnership and the terms
of the purchase of the Pearland Property are no less favorable than could be
obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

         Mr. Schwartz is a shareholder in Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson, P.A.,
which has in the past and continues to perform legal services for the Company.
The fees paid by the Company to Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson, P.A. for legal
services rendered are no greater than those that would be charged to the Company
by an unrelated third party law firm.
