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, 2000 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 2000 Form 10-K. Some reclassifications have been made to prior periods' financial
statements to conform to the 2001 presentation.

Note 6. 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 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.

Funding of DeCrane Holdings Preferred Stock Obligations

charges and other noncash and nonoperating charges. This is consistent with the manner in which the Company's lenders and ultimate investors measure its overall performance.

statements. Some transactions are recorded at the Company's corporate headquarters and are not allocated to the groups, such as, most of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, debt and related net
interest expense, corporate headquarters costs and income taxes.

Note 11. 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 segregating the Company, as the issuer, and 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:

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

The following discussions should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.

Overview

Our financial position and results of operations have been affected by our history of acquisitions. 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 condition and results of
operations described herein, consist of our Cabin Management Group's acquisitions of Carl F. Booth & Co. on May 11, 2000 and ERDA on June 30, 2000.

Our
historical financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of the acquired businesses subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.

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 $1.7 million to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001 compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2000.

Net income applicable to common stockholder.Net income applicable to DeCrane Holdings, our common stockholder,
increased $0.5 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2000. The net increase is attributable to:



Bookings.Bookings increased $37.1 million, or 51.1%, to $109.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $72.6 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in bookings for 2001 results from:



Backlog at end of period.Backlog increased $10.0 million to $188.3 million as of March 31,
2001compared to $178.3 million as of December 31, 2000. The increase in backlog for 2001 primarily relates to our Cabin Management group.

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, capital contributions from DeCrane Holdings and the issuance of preferred stock.

Cash
used by operating activities was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, which is the net of $11.8 million of cash provided by operations
after adding back depreciation, amortization and other noncash items, $17.6 million used for working capital offset by $0.2 million resulting from a increase in other liabilities. The
following factors contributed to the $17.6 million working capital increase:



Cash
used for investing activities was $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and consisted of:



We
anticipate spending approximately $15.0 million for capital expenditures in 2001.

Cash
provided by financing activities was $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and was primarily used to fund the payment of contingent acquisition
consideration. We obtained these

20

funds by borrowing $23.3 million under our senior credit facility. We used $1.1 million to make principal payments on our senior term debt, capitalized leases and other debt.

At
March 31, 2001, senior credit facility borrowings totaling $299.1 million are at variable interest rates based on defined margins over the current prime or Eurodollar
rates. At March 31, 2001 we had $86.1 million of working capital and had $14.3 million of borrowings available under our working capital credit facility and no funds 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 Eurodollar rates. At March 31, 2001, the current prime rate
was 8.00% and the current Eurodollar rate was 5.28%. Based on $299.1 million of variable-rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2001, a hypothetical one percent rise in
interest rates, to 9.00% for prime rate borrowings and 6.28% for Eurodollar borrowings, would reduce our pre-tax earnings by $3.0 million annually. We have, during periods prior to
1998, 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 during the
last three years, 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 $93.0 million at March 31, 2001. 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 one of our subsidiaries operates in Western Europe and one has a manufacturing facility in Mexico. 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 March 31, 2001, we may do so in the future
depending on our assessment of future foreign exchange rate trends.
