              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Predecessor
-----------

Kleinert Industries, Inc. (predecessor) ("Kleinert") was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kleinert Industrie Holding A.G., a Swiss company (the "Parent"),
and was organized under the laws of the State of California on July 1, 1988,
commencing operations on September 1, 1988, and which provided management
services for its wholly owned subsidiaries - Paragon Precision Products ("PPP"),
Bandy Machining International ("BMI"), Scanning Electron Analysis Laboratories,
Inc. ("SEAL"), and General Inspection Laboratories, Inc. ("GIL").

PPP specializes in the manufacture of precision aerospace components. BMI
manufactures precision hinges, door panels and hinged assemblies for both
aerospace and industrial applications. SEAL specializes in materials analysis
and problem-solving for government and industry. GIL provides a complete array
of non-destructive testing services for inspecting critical parts and
manufactured components.

Acquisition And Successor
-------------------------

On July 1, 1997, KII Holding Corp. (successor), a Delaware company ("KII
Holding") incorporated on July 1, 1997, through a wholly owned subsidiary (KII
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation), acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Kleinert and Subsidiaries (predecessor company and
currently known as Stellex Aerospace and Subsidiaries) from Kleinert Industrie
Holding A.G. (the "Seller"). The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the net purchase price of
approximately $26.5 million (including the assumption of $2.65 million of
mortgage indebtedness and the issuance to the Seller of a note for $1.75
million) has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed
based upon the fair values at the date of acquisition. There was no excess
purchase price over the fair values on the net assets acquired in connection
with the acquisition. The acquisition was financed in part from new borrowings
totaling $19.3 million and the issuance of common and preferred stock totaling
$4.75 million. KII Holding is owned by Stellex Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, which owns 80.1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of KII
Holding, with certain members of Stellex Aerospace's management holding the
remainder of its outstanding common stock. KII Holding is a holding company
whose operations are conducted through its operating subsidiaries. References to
the "Company" include both KII Holding and its predecessor, Kleinert.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements dated prior to the
acquisition of Kleinert and Subsidiaries on July 1, 1997, include the accounts
of Kleinert and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Predecessor"). Financial
statements dated subsequent to the acquisition include the accounts of KII
Holding (the "Successor") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, KII Acquisition
Corp., Stellex Aerospace and Subsidiaries (PPP, BMI, SEAL and GIL). Intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include the

for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation, which were of a normal and
recurring nature, have been included. The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. These

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires
that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in an annual financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. This
Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual financial statement. For example, other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency translation adjustments,
minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial
statements for prior periods will be classified, as required. The Company had no
items of other comprehensive income or loss for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The standard requires that companies
disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the
company for making internal operating decisions. The new rules will be effective
for the Company's 1998 annual financial statements.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure
requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The implementation
of SFAS No. 132 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial
statements. The standard will be effective for the Company's 1998 annual
financial statements.

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $8.3 million which
represents an increase of 28.4% over the sales of $6.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The sales increase is primarily attributable to
strong demand in the commercial aviation market for new aircraft production,
primarily at Boeing, increases in manufacturing requirements for military
aircraft.

Gross margins

Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 29.0%, which increased
from 27.8% in the first quarter of 1997. This increase resulted primarily from
increased production volumes which allowed for production efficiencies and fixed
cost utilization.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 were $1.9 million which represented an increase of $1.0 million over the
selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.9 million during the first
quarter of 1997. This increase was due primarily to incremental non-cash charges
of $715,400 relating to the valuation of management ownership puts plus
increased in compensation expense resulting from additional managerial hires.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $610,800 which
represented a $429,200 increase in expense over the comparable quarter in 1997.
This increase was due primarily to the acquisition financing relating to the
acquisition of Kleinert on July 1, 1997.

Liquidity and capital resources

KII Holding Corp. generated cash flows from operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, in the amount of $572,700 compared to cash generated in
the amount of $13,900 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase in cash
flows resulted primarily from improved management of operating assets and
liabilities.

The Company was a net user of cash flows from investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, totaling $747,100 compared to $445,100 million in
the comparable period in 1997. The increase in cash used in investing

activities primarily reflects increased purchases of property, plant and
equipment.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998
primarily consisted of approximately $17,800 in payments of bank and
intercompany loans. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, cash provided
by financing activities of $336,000 primarily resulting from borrowings under
the predecessor line of credit offset by payments of bank debt. The change in
the cash flows from financing activities primarily reflects the timing of
working capital needs and the changes in the capital structure of the Company
which resulted subsequent to the Kleinert Acquisition.

Liquidity demands for the near term will consist of normal levels of capital
expenditure requirements sufficient to accommodate growth in backlog, working
capital needs and debt service funding.

Debt service requirements for 1999 will include the satisfaction of the seller
note totaling $1.8 million resulting from the Kleinert Acquisition coupled with
approximately $2.1 million of cash interest expense.

Management believes that current levels of operating cash flow and availability
under its parent company's revolving credit facility will provide adequate
liquidity to satisfy its near term demands.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of information systems to recognize
properly and process date-sensitive information beyond January 1, 2000. Each of
the Company's operating subsidiaries face unique issues in their identification
and resolution of problems related to the Year 2000.

State of readiness: In November 1997, the Company initiated an assessment of the
impact of the Year 2000 issue on its internal operations and began the
development of a plan to bring all of its computer systems into compliance
before the end of 1998. This focus has been on all systems potentially impacted
by the Year 2000 issue, including information technology ("IT") systems and
non-IT systems. At the present time management is in the process of finalizing a
new system installation at Bandy which is year 2000 compliant, and has completed
its review of Year 2000 readiness of their other internal IT systems at Paragon,
SEAL, GIL and the corporate offices. The Company is in the process of completing
its assessment of the impact of Year 2000 on its non-IT systems, products and
significant vendors and customers. The initial assessment indicates that the
Year 2000 should not significantly affect these areas.

Costs to address Year 2000 issues: To date costs to implement and the timeframe
contemplated by management to be Year 2000 compliant are based on management's
best estimates. Cumulative costs to date have been insignificant. Estimated
costs to complete the process are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's future financial results.

Risks associated with Year 2000 issue: The Company believes there is low risk of
any internal critical system, embedded system, or other critical asset not being
Year 2000-ready by the end of 1999. The company continues to assess its risk
exposure attributable to external factors, suppliers and customers. With respect
to outside parties, those parties, who have been contacted, have indicated that
their hardware, software and related non-IT systems are currently or will be
Year 2000 complaint within the 1999 calendar year. Evaluations of these issues
is continuing and there can be no assurance that additional issues, not
presently known to the Company, will be discovered which could present a
material risk of disruption to the Company's operations. Such disruptions could
result in delays in the delivery or sale of products. Contingency plans for
suppliers, customers and mission critical systems impacted by Year 2000 issues
are currently under development and are expected to be completed in the first
quarter of 1999.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires
that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in an annual financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. This
Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual financial statement. For example, other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency translation adjustments,
minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial
statements for prior periods will be classified, as required. The Company had no
items of other comprehensive income or loss for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The standard requires that companies
disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the
company for making internal operating decisions. The new rules will be effective
for the Company's 1998 annual financial statements.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure
requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The implementation
of SFAS No. 132 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial
statements. The standard will be effective for the Company's 1998 annual
financial statements.

any forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent,
