ITEM 1.         DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

                                COMPANY OVERVIEW

     DeCrane Aircraft Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in 1989, is
a leading provider of integrated assemblies, sub-assemblies and component parts
to the aircraft industry. Since our founding in 1989, we have experienced both
internal growth and growth by identifying fragmented, high-growth niche segments
of the industry and acquiring market-leading companies in those niches. Today,
we have assembled product capability within three specific segments of the
aircraft industry: cabin management for corporate, VIP and head-of-state
aircraft; specialty aviation electronic components, commonly referred to as
avionics; and systems integration. We have also focused on diversifying our
revenue stream between the commercial, commercial after- and retrofit markets,
and corporate and regional aircraft markets in order to reduce the impact from
cycles in any single market segment. Within these markets, our customers include
original manufacturers of aircraft and related avionics equipment, commonly
referred to as OEM's, major components suppliers, aircraft repair and
modification centers and commercial airlines.

     We are organized into three operating groups, consistent with the segments
in which we operate: Cabin Management, Specialty Avionics and Systems
Integration. Through our operating groups, we offer a complete line of
cabinetry, galleys, seating and entertainment systems of corporate aircraft, as
well as specialty avionics components and systems integration services.

                              OUR OPERATING GROUPS

     Our historical 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 and capital structure. In the description of our
businesses that follows, we present some information about our operating groups
on a "pro forma" basis, giving effect to all of our acquisitions described in
Note 3 accompanying our financial statements listed in the index on page F-1 of
this report. The related historical segment information for the three years
ended December 31, 2000 is included in Note 18 accompanying our financial
statements.

CABIN MANAGEMENT GROUP

     DeCrane's Cabin Management Group contributed approximately 52% of our pro
forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

     Our Cabin Management Group is a leading independent provider of cabin
products, with a primary focus on serving the corporate aircraft market. Since
1997, our Cabin Management Group has acquired nine companies involved in the
engineering, manufacturing and assembly of the key components for the interior
of a corporate aircraft, including interior furnishings, cabin management
systems, seating and composite components. Our Cabin Management Group serves
major manufacturers of corporate aircraft, including Boeing Business Jet,
Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, Gulfstream and Raytheon.

     The Cabin Management Group has introduced the concept of modularity to the
corporate aircraft market through its "cabinet in a box" product. We believe
this distinctive approach of delivering integrated assemblies and sub-assemblies
that can be quickly incorporated into the aircraft has been well received by the
market. We are currently pioneering the next step in modularity, "cabin in a
box." This new concept is designed to address one of the greatest challenges
facing the industry's aircraft manufacturers: the lead-time necessary to
complete an unfinished "green" aircraft. Through providing entire pre-wired and
pre-plumbed modular cabin interiors that will be delivered "just in time" for
final integration into the aircraft, we believe we will be able to reduce our
customers' lead times, supplier base and overall costs.

     The Cabin Management Group is guided by our overall strategy to gain market
leadership positions in high-growth segments of the aircraft industry by
building more related product capabilities than any other company in the
industry. To that end, our Cabin Management Group has focused on pursuing two,
closely related, strategic imperatives:

     o     BUILDING CRITICAL MASS IN INTERIOR FURNISHINGS, CABIN MANAGEMENT
           SYSTEMS AND SEATING FOR THE CORPORATE, VIP, AND HEAD-OF-STATE
           AIRCRAFT MARKETS. Our Cabin Management Group is aggressively focused
           on broadening and deepening its product offering to the corporate,
           VIP and head-of-state aircraft markets. As a result of this strategy,
           we have increased revenue content per plane with our existing
           customer base and have successfully attracted new customers.

     o     DEVELOPING CAPABILITIES TO PROVIDE MODULAR "TOTAL CABIN SOLUTIONS" TO
           THE CORPORATE AIRCRAFT MARKET. Consistent with our overall corporate
           strategy to build integrated system solutions, the Cabin Management
           Group is focused on aggregating its capabilities to provide partial
           or fully assembled modular corporate aircraft cabin interiors to its
           customers.

     In order to meet these strategic objectives, we have aggressively pursued
growth in our Cabin Management Group through selective acquisitions.

largest supplier of power and signal contacts to the aircraft market, with
almost twice the number of FAA approved parts as to our nearest competitor. In
addition, our dichroic liquid crystal display devices, commonly referred to as
LCD's, are found on every commercial aircraft produced today, making us the
largest supplier of dichroic LCD devices to commercial aircraft OEM's. Our
Specialty Avionics Group has leveraged its reputation as a high quality
manufacturer of avionics products and contacts to build a broader customer base
and to deepen its relationships with existing customers.

     The strategic objectives of our Specialty Avionics Group are well aligned
with our overall corporate strategy of capturing and maintaining number 1 or 2
market share in high growth segments of the aircraft industry. In pursuing our
objectives for the group, we have been guided by three strategic principles:

     o     BROADEN AND DEEPEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY CUSTOMERS BY ASSEMBLING
           INTEGRATED CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS. We believe our Specialty Avionics
           Group has aggressively pursued opportunities to assemble more
           integrated product capabilities in the specialty avionics segment
           than any competitor in the aircraft industry, thereby increasing
           revenue content per plane and growing profitability.

     o     IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN HIGH-GROWTH PRODUCT
           CATEGORIES. We continue to explore and evaluate growth opportunities
           in product categories within the specialty avionics segment of our
           business.

     o     MAINTAIN TECHNOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR PRODUCT OFFERINGS. The specialty
           avionics industry is a highly specialized and highly technical
           business. It is imperative that we remain abreast of technological
           innovations and incorporate them into our products and services.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     Our Specialty Avionics Group designs, engineers and manufactures electronic
components, electronic display devices and interconnect components and
assemblies. Approximately 20% of our Specialty Avionics Group's pro forma
revenues are from Boeing. The products we offer include:

     o     COCKPIT AND CABIN AUDIO, COMMUNICATION, LIGHTING AND POWER AND
           CONTROL DEVICES. Our Specialty Avionics Group is a leading
           manufacturer of cockpit audio, lighting and power and control
           devices, including selective calling system decoders, used in
           commercial, regional and corporate aircraft. We also manufacture a
           variety of other commercial aircraft safety system

                                       4
<PAGE>

           components, including warning tone generators, temperature and
           de-icing monitoring systems, steep approach monitors and low voltage
           power supplies for traffic collision avoidance systems.

     o     ELECTRICAL CONTACTS. Contacts conduct electronic signals or
           electricity and are installed at the terminus of a wire or an
           electronic or electrical device. We supply precision-machined
           contacts for use in connectors found in virtually every electronic
           and electrical system on a commercial aircraft. We sell contacts
           directly to aircraft and related electronics manufacturers and
           through our private labeling programs to several major connector
           manufacturers who sell connectors to the same markets under their
           brand name.

     o     CONNECTORS AND HARNESS ASSEMBLIES. Electronic and electrical
           connectors link wires and devices in avionics systems, and permit
           their assembly, installation, repair and removal. Our connectors are
           specially manufactured to meet the critical performance requirements
           demanded by manufacturers and required in the harsh environment of an
           operating aircraft. We produce connectors that are used in aircraft
           galleys, flight decks and control panels in the passenger cabin, in
           addition to producing wire harness assemblies for use in cabin
           avionics systems, including wire, connectors, contacts and hardware.
           We typically sell our harness assemblies to manufacturers of aircraft
           electronic systems but also sell these assemblies as part of our
           systems integration services through our Systems Integration Group.

     o     LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICES. We manufacture a wide variety of
           displays in both dichroic and twisted nematic formats, as well as LCD
           modules used in commercial and military aircraft. LCD modules are
           liquid crystal displays packaged with a backlight source, and
           additional mechanical and electronic components that are
           plug-and-play ready for the customers' instrument display
           application. Dichroic displays perform best in situations with high
           ambient lighting and low backlighting. Twisted nematic displays are
           suited for situations where a strong backlight is required. Our LCD
           products are used in a variety of flight deck applications such as
           auto pilot flight control systems, fuel quantity indicators, exhaust
           gas temperature indicators, airborne communications, navigation and
           safety systems and transportation signage. Dichroic and twisted
           nematic liquid crystal display products are widely used in the
           aircraft industry because they are easily adapted to custom design
           and possess a variety of high performance characteristics, including
           wide viewing angles, high readability in sunlight, and the ability to
           withstand wide temperature fluctuations. We also manufacture a
           variety of electronic clock instruments for commercial and military
           aircraft, including fixed wing and rotary wing, all of which use our
           LCD devices.

     o     WIRE MARKING AND CRIMPING EQUIPMENT. We design and manufacture
           high-speed wire marking systems and portable crimping machines used
           by harness manufacturers, wire mills, aircraft manufacturers and the
           U.S. military.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP

     DeCrane's Systems Integration Group contributed approximately 17% of our
pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000.


BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

     Our Systems Integration Group provides aircraft retrofit and refurbishment
solutions, from design to FAA certification, including engineering,
manufacturing and installation. Our primary focus is on retrofitting new systems
onto existing aircraft. Our largest business is the design, production and
installation of auxiliary fuel tanks, which extend the range of the aircraft.
Our Systems Integration Group has an exclusive long-term contract with Boeing
Business Jet to design, manufacture and install auxiliary fuel tanks. We also
focus on FAA safety mandate "kits" and we believe we are the major supplier of
integration kits for smoke detection and fire suppression in the cargo hold. We
also perform structural modifications and FAA re-certification before placing
aircraft back into service.

     There are a limited number of companies that have the necessary
authorization to offer aircraft re-certification on behalf of the FAA. Our
Systems Integration Group is authorized to provide the full spectrum of
services, from design to FAA re-certification, needed for timely retrofitting of
an aircraft, thus providing a significant competitive advantage.

     Our Systems Integration Group has adopted a two-pronged strategic approach
to managing its operations:

     o     DEVELOP THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED RETROFIT OFFERING. For the
           last ten years, our Systems Integration Group has focused on
           developing the capabilities necessary to provide a fully integrated
           offering with respect to aircraft refurbishing and aircraft
           retrofitting with FAA mandated changes and technological innovations.
           Through several related acquisitions and aggressive internal product
           development, our Systems Integration Group has become one of the few
           non-OEM related operations with the authority to provide alteration
           services and to offer FAA re-certification of aircraft that undergo
           overhaul. This re-certification ability represents a significant
           competitive advantage, as we can offer all the products and services
           required to re-

                                       6
<PAGE>

           commission an aircraft in a timely and cost efficient manner. We
           believe we have developed the most comprehensive offering in
           retrofitting aircraft with auxiliary fuel tanks in the industry.

     o     TARGET DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIALTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES RELATING TO FAA
           MANDATES. Consistent with its first strategic imperative, our Systems
           Integration Group is also growing its capabilities in providing
           solution "kits" in response to FAA mandated aircraft upgrades. For
           example, if the FAA mandates new fire safety measures for all
           aircraft, we will develop a stand-alone kit that can be quickly
           incorporated into an aircraft to ensure compliance with minimal
           downtime. Our Systems Integration Group has demonstrated the ability
           to identify and quickly respond to probable new FAA mandates.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     Our Systems Integration Group provides auxiliary fuel tanks, auxiliary
power units and system integration services, including engineering, kit
manufacturing, installation and certification. Customers include Boeing Business
Jet, Bombardier, Cessna, Gulfstream, Raytheon and Rockwell Collins.
Approximately 40% of our Systems Integration Group's pro forma revenues are from
Boeing. The products we offer include:

     o     AUXILIARY FUEL SYSTEMS AND POWER UNITS. We manufacture and install
           auxiliary fuel tanks for commercial and corporate aircraft. Our
           unique design and tank construction have made us a leader in the
           auxiliary fuel tank market. We also manufacture auxiliary power
           units, which provide ground power to corporate jets made by Cessna,
           Gulfstream, Learjet and Raytheon.

     o     CABIN AND FLIGHT DECK SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. We have designed and
           patented a wide range of avionics support structures we sell under
           the Box-Mount(TM) name. These structures are used to support and
           environmentally cool avionics equipment, including navigation,
           communication and flight control equipment. These support structures
           are sold to aircraft and related electronics manufacturers, airlines
           and major modification centers. In addition, these products are
           essential components of the installation kits used in our systems
           integration operations.

COMPETITION

     The markets served by our System Integration Group are fragmented with
several competitors offering similar products and services. Due to the global
nature of the aircraft industry, competition comes from both U.S. and foreign
companies. Our Cabin Management Group generally faces competition from a group
of smaller companies and enterprises, except for the corporate aircraft
manufacturers and independent completion centers. Our principal competitors are
summarized in the table below.

     Orders are usually filled within twelve months; however, backlog totaling
$19.7 million as of December 31, 2000 is scheduled for delivery in 2002 and
beyond. Orders may be subject to cancellation by the customer prior to shipment.
The level of unfilled orders at any given date will be materially affected by
when we receive orders and how fast we fill them. Period-to-period comparisons
of backlog figures may not be meaningful. For that reason, our backlogs do not
necessarily accurately predict actual shipments or sales for any future period.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 2000, we had 2,865 employees: 1,578 in our Cabin
Management Group; 932 in our Specialty Avionics Group; 341 in our Systems
Integration Group; and 14 in our corporate office. None of our employees is
subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we have not experienced any
material business interruption as a result of labor. We believe that we
generally have a good relationship with our employees.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     We continually evaluate opportunities to improve our product offerings and
develop new products that incorporate new technologies to meet the demands of
our customers and the FAA. Total expenditures were $4.6 million during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000 and $4.3 million during the same period in
1999.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

     Financial information about our revenues and assets by geographic area are
included in Note 18 accompanying our financial statements included in this
report.

SEASONALITY

     Our businesses are not seasonal in nature.

SALES AND MARKETING

     Our Cabin Management Group has designated relationship managers who are
responsible for maintaining and cultivating relationships with customers. In
addition, a dedicated sales force is utilized for some of our products.

     Our Specialty Avionics Group has a dedicated sales force, which cooperates
with distributors and independent sales representatives to execute its sales and
marketing strategy. We have distributors that purchase, stock and resell several
of our product lines.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Our Systems Integration Group has a dedicated sales force that handles most
of its sales activities.

     We are continuously seeking opportunities to combine our sales efforts
across the operating groups in order to ensure that all sales opportunities are
explored and that we maximize our revenue content per plane. We may also assign
marketing and sales responsibilities for key customers to one of our senior
corporate executives.

RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENT PARTS

     The components we manufacture require the use of various raw materials
including gold, aluminum, copper, rhodium, plating chemicals, hardwoods and
plastics. The availability and prices of these materials may fluctuate. Their
price is a significant component in, and part of, the sales price of many of our
products. Although some of our contracts have prices tied to raw materials
prices, we cannot always recover increases in raw materials prices in our
product sale prices. We also purchase a variety of manufactured component parts
from various suppliers. Raw materials and component parts are generally
available from multiple suppliers at competitive prices. However, any delay in
our ability to obtain necessary raw materials and component parts may affect our
ability to meet customer production needs.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

     Some of our facilities within our Specialty Avionics and Systems
Integration Groups, as well as our corporate headquarters, are located in
California. These California-based facilities provided approximately 20% of our
consolidated pro forma revenues during 2000. California has recently experienced
ongoing electrical power shortages, which have resulted in "rolling blackouts"
and curtailment of power for some of our facilities with "interruptible" supply
agreements with their providers. To date, power shortages have not caused any
significant disruptions to our operations, however, prolonged or frequent
blackouts could cause disruptions to our operations and the operations of our
suppliers and customers. We are uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by
power outages.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

     We have various trade secrets, proprietary information, trademarks,
tradenames, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights we
believe are important to our business in the aggregate, but not individually.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

     The aviation industry is highly regulated in the United States by the
Federal Aviation Administration and in other countries by similar agencies to
ensure that aviation products and services meet stringent safety and performance
standards. In addition, many of our customers impose their own compliance and
quality requirements on us. The FAA prescribes standards and licensing
requirements for aircraft components, issues designated alteration station
authorizations, and licenses private repair stations. We hold various FAA
approvals and licenses, which may only be used by our subsidiary obtaining such
approval. If material FAA or customer authorizations or approvals were revoked
or suspended, our operations could be adversely affected.

     The FAA can authorize or deny authorization of many of the services and
products we provide. Any such denial would preclude our ability to provide the
pertinent service or product. If we failed to comply with applicable FAA
standards or regulations, the FAA could exercise a wide range of remedies,
including a warning letter, a letter of correction, a civil penalty action, and
emergency or non-emergency suspension or revocation of a certificate or
approval.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     Each type of aircraft operated by airlines in the United States must
possess an FAA type certificate, generally held by the aircraft manufacturer,
indicating that the type design meets applicable airworthiness standards. When
someone else develops a major modification to an aircraft already
type-certificated, that person must obtain an FAA-issued Supplemental Type
Certificate for the modification. Historically, we have obtained several hundred
of these Supplemental Type Certificates, most of which we obtained on behalf of
our customers as part of our systems integration services. Some of these
certificates we obtain are or will eventually be transferred to our customers.
As of December 31, 2000, we own and/or manage approximately 250 Supplemental
Type Certificates. Many are multi-aircraft certificates, which apply to all of
the aircraft of a single type. We foresee the need to obtain additional
Supplemental Type Certificates so that we can expand the services we provide and
the customers we serve.

     Supplemental Type Certificates can be issued for proposed aircraft
modifications directly by the FAA, or on behalf of the FAA by a Designated
Alteration Station. The FAA designates what types of Supplemental Type
Certificates can be issued by each Designated Alteration Station. A subsidiary
within our Systems Integration Group is an FAA-authorized Designated Alteration
Station and can directly issue many of the Supplemental Type Certificates our
customers and we require for our systems integration operations.

     After obtaining a Supplemental Type Certificate, a manufacturer must apply
for a Parts Manufacturer Approval from the FAA, or a supplement to an existing
Parts Manufacturer Approval, which permits the holder to manufacture and sell
installation kits according to the approved design and data package. We have ten
Parts Manufacturer Approvals and over 200 supplements to those approvals. In
general, each initial Parts Manufacturer Approval is an approval of a
manufacturing or modification facility's production quality control system. Each
Parts Manufacturer Approval supplement authorizes the manufacture of a
particular part in accordance with the requirements of the corresponding
Supplemental Type Certificate. We routinely apply for and receive such Parts
Manufacturer Approval supplements. In order to perform the actual installations
of a modification, we are also required to have FAA approval. This authority is
contained either in our Parts Manufacturer Approvals and related supplements, or
in our repair station certificates. In order for a company to perform most kinds
of repair, engineering, installation or other services on aircraft, its facility
must be designated as an FAA-authorized repair station. As of December 31, 2000,
we had ten authorized repair stations.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

     Our manufacturing operations in the United States are subject to a variety
of worker and community safety laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 mandate general requirements for safe workplaces for all employees. In
addition, OSHA provides special procedures and measures for the handling of
hazardous and toxic substances. Specific safety standards have been promulgated
for workplaces engaged in the treatment, disposal or storage of hazardous waste.
We believe that our operations are in material compliance with OSHA's health and
safety requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Our facilities and operations are subject to various federal, state, local,
and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to
discharges to air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and
hazardous waste, and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances.
In addition, some environmental laws, such as the federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA")
and similar state laws, impose strict liability upon persons responsible for
releases or potential releases of hazardous substances. That liability generally
is retroactive, and may create "joint and several" liability among multiple
parties who have some relationship to a site or a source of waste. We have sent
waste to treatment, storage, or disposal facilities that have been designated as
National Priority List sites under CERCLA or equivalent listings

                                       12
<PAGE>

under state laws. We have received CERCLA requests for information or
allegations of potential responsibility from the Environmental Protection Agency
regarding our use of several of those sites. In addition, some of our operations
are located on properties that are contaminated to varying degrees.

     We have not incurred, nor do we expect to incur, liabilities in any
significant amount as a result of the foregoing matters, because in these cases
other entities have been held primarily responsible, the levels of contamination
are sufficiently low so as not to require remediation, or we are indemnified
against such costs. In most cases, we do not believe that we have any material
liability for past waste disposal. However, in a few cases, we do not have
sufficient information to assess our potential liability, if any. It is
possible, given the potentially retroactive nature of environmental liability
that we will receive additional notices of potential liability relating to
current or former activities.

     Some of our manufacturing processes create wastewater that requires
chemical treatment, and one of our facilities was cited for excessive quantity
and strength of its wastewater. The costs associated with remedying that failure
have not been material.

     We believe that we have been and are in substantial compliance with
environmental laws and regulations and that we have no liabilities under
environmental laws and regulations, except for liabilities which we do not
expect would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. However, some risk of
environmental liability is inherent in the nature of our business, and we might
in the future incur material costs to meet current or more stringent compliance,
cleanup, or other obligations pursuant to environmental laws and regulations.

ITEM 2.         PROPERTIES

     We operate in a number of manufacturing, engineering and office facilities
in the United States and abroad. At December 31, 2000, we utilized approximately
1.2 million square feet of floor space, approximately 96% of which is located in
the United States. We believe that our facilities are in good condition and are
adequate to support our operations for the foreseeable future. A summary of our
facilities at December 31, 2000, by operating group, follows:

ITEM 3.         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 ("TSB") notified us that they recovered burned wire that was attached to
the in-flight entertainment system installed on some of Swissair's aircraft by
one of our subsidiaries. We are fully cooperating with the ongoing TSB
investigation. Although the TSB has not issued a final report, it has advised us
that it has no evidence to date that the system we installed malfunctioned or
failed during the flight. Families of the 229 persons who died aboard the flight
have filed actions in federal and state courts against us, and many other
parties unaffiliated with us, including Swissair and Boeing. The actions claim
negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty relating to the installation
and testing of the in-flight entertainment system. The actions seek compensatory
and punitive

damages and costs in an unstated amount. All of the actions have
been transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania and assigned under MDL Case No. 1269 for coordinated or
consolidated pretrial proceedings. We intend to defend the claims vigorously.

     We are a party to a license agreement with McDonnell Douglas (now a part of
Boeing) pursuant to which we may request specified data in order to design and
market modifications to aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. Under the
agreement, we are to pay McDonnell Douglas a royalty of five percent of the net
sales price of all modifications sold by us for which we have requested data
from McDonnell Douglas. We requested data for a single modification, which we
believe is exempt from the agreement's provision requiring royalties. In 1996,
McDonnell Douglas made a demand for $650,000 for royalties. We do not believe
that we are obligated to McDonnell Douglas in any amount. However, if the claim
is asserted, and if we are unsuccessful in defending it, we may be required to
pay royalties to McDonnell Douglas.

     We are party to other litigation incident to the normal course of business.
We do not believe that the outcome of any of such other matters in which we are
currently involved will have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition or results of operations.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
                RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION

     There is no established public trading market for our shares. In August
1998, we sold all of our issued and outstanding shares to DeCrane Holdings, our
parent company, in connection with the DLJ acquisition described in Note 2
accompanying our financial statements included in this report.

HOLDERS

     As of March 26, 2001, DeCrane Holdings was our only common stockholder.

DIVIDENDS

     We have not paid dividends to date on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The terms of our
senior credit facility and senior subordinated note indenture restrict our
ability to pay dividends if we do not meet certain financial criteria.

RECENT SALE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     Our recent sales of unregistered securities are described in Note 12
accompanying our financial statements included in this report.

<PAGE>


NOTES TO SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA:

(1)  Reflects the results of operations and financial position of companies we
     acquired for all periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates
     as follows:

     o     the remaining 25% minority interest in Cory Components, acquired on
           February 20, 1996;
     o     Aerospace Display, acquired on September 18, 1996;
     o     Elsinore Engineering, acquired on December 5, 1996;
     o     Audio International, acquired on November 14, 1997;
     o     Avtech, acquired on June 26, 1998;
     o     Dettmers, acquired on June 30, 1998;
     o     PATS, acquired on January 22, 1999;
     o     Precision Pattern, acquired on April 23, 1999;
     o     Custom Woodwork, acquired on August 5, 1999;
     o     PCI NewCo, acquired on October 6, 1999;
     o     International Custom Interiors, acquired on October 8, 1999;
     o     Infinity, acquired on December 17, 1999;
     o     Carl F. Booth & Co., acquired on May 11, 2000;
     o     ERDA, acquired on June 30, 2000; and
     o     Coltech, acquired on August 31, 2000.

(2)  Reflects our results of operations and financial position prior to
     (predecessor) and subsequent to (successor) our acquisition by DLJ.

(3)  Includes noncash charges to reflect:

     o     cost of sales based on the fair value of inventory acquired of $4.4
           million for the four months ended December 31, 1998 in connection
           with the DLJ acquisition and $1.6 million for the twelve months ended
           December 31, 1999 in connection with the Precision Pattern and Custom
           Woodworks acquisitions, collectively referred to as noncash
           acquisition charges; and

     o     an inventory write-down of $6.0 million for the twelve months ended
           December 31, 1999 related to our Systems Integration Group
           restructuring.

(4)  Reflects $3.6 million of non-capitalized transaction costs associated with
     the DLJ acquisition in August 1998 and a $3.9 million charge related to our
     1999 Systems Integration Group restructuring, $1.3 million of which was a
     noncash asset impairment write-down.

(5)  For the four months ended December 31, 1998, includes a $2.6 million
     benefit from the reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance. 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.

(6)  Reflects:

     o     the write-offs, net of an income tax benefit, of deferred financing
           costs, unamortized original issue discounts, a prepayment penalty and
           other related expenses incurred as a result of the repayment of debt
           by DeCrane Aircraft with the net proceeds from its initial public
           offering in April 1997; and

     o     the write-offs, net of an income tax benefit, of deferred financing
           costs as a result of the repayment of our then existing indebtedness
           in connection with the DLJ acquisition and the refinancing of the
           bridge notes during the four months ended December 31, 1998.

                                       16

(7)  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation
     and amortization, restructuring and asset impairment charges, acquisition
     related charges, including the noncash charges described in Note 3 above,
     and other noncash and nonoperating charges. EBITDA, as defined, is the
     primary measurement we use to evaluate our operating groups' performance
     and is consistent with the manner in which our lenders and ultimate
     investors measure our overall performance.

     EBITDA is not a measure of performance or financial condition under
     generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is not intended to
     represent cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an
     alternative to income from operations or net income computed in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles, as an indicator of our
     operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow from operating
     activities or as a measure of liquidity. The funds depicted by EBITDA are
     not available for our discretionary use due to funding requirements for
     working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, income taxes and other
     commitments and contingencies. We believe that EBITDA is a standard measure
     of liquidity commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and
     other interested parties in the financial markets. However, not all
     companies calculate EBITDA using the same method, and the EBITDA numbers we
     report may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies.

(8)  Reflects depreciation and amortization of plant and equipment and goodwill
     and other intangible assets. Excludes amortization of deferred financing
     costs and debt discounts that are classified as a component of interest
     expense.

(9)  Includes $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 related to our
     acquisition of a manufacturing facility.

(10) For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
     earnings represent net income before income taxes, minority interests in
     the income of majority-owned subsidiaries, extraordinary items and fixed
     charges. Fixed charges consist of:

     o     interest, whether expensed or capitalized;

     o     amortization of debt expense and discount or premium relating to any
           indebtedness, whether expensed or capitalized; and

     o     one-third of rental expenses under operating leases which is
           considered to be a reasonable approximation of the interest portion
           of such expense.

     There were deficiencies of earnings to cover fixed charges of $2.9 million
     for the four months ended December 31, 1998 and $3.2 million for the year
     ended December 31, 1999.

(11) Bookings represent the total invoice value of purchase orders received
     during the period.

(12) Orders may be subject to cancellation by the customer prior to shipment.
     The level of unfilled orders at any given date during the year will be
     materially affected by the timing of our receipt of orders and the speed
     with which those orders are filled.

(13) Total debt is defined as long-term debt, including current portion, and
     short-term borrowings.

(14) Reflects mandatorily redeemable:

     o     common stock warrants as of December 31, 1996; the warrants were
           either exercised or cancelled in connection with our 1997
           recapitalization and initial public offering of common stock; and

     o     16% preferred stock as of December 31, 2000.

ITEM 7.         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:

     CABIN MANAGEMENT GROUP
     o     Dettmers, acquired on June 30, 1998;
     o     Precision Pattern, acquired on April 23, 1999;
     o     Custom Woodwork, acquired on August 5, 1999;
     o     PCI NewCo, acquired on October 6, 1999;
     o     International Custom Interiors, acquired on October 8, 1999;
     o     The Infinity Partners, acquired on December 17, 1999;
     o     Carl F. Booth & Co., acquired on May 11, 2000;
     o     ERDA, acquired on June 30, 2000;

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS GROUP
     o     Avtech, acquired on June 26, 1998;
     o     Coltech, acquired on August 31, 2000;

     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP
     o     PATS, acquired on January 22, 1999.

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

                          INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND TRENDS

     We compete in the products and services market of the aircraft industry, a
market we estimate to be $25 billion annually. The market for our products and
services is largely driven by demand in the three civil aircraft markets:
commercial, regional and corporate aircraft. We have minimal exposure to the
military aircraft market and are therefore relatively immune to defense spending
and other factors affecting that market.

     Orders for commercial jets have been expanding year over year since 1996 as
global economies and airline profitability have improved. The market continues
to demonstrate positive fundamentals and the outlook for 2001 and 2002 reflects
increased stability.

     We believe the regional aircraft market will remain robust for the
near-term. Conversions from turboprop- to jet-powered aircraft fleets have
driven the increased public acceptance of and the growth in regional aircraft
travel. Longer term, we believe the regional aircraft market outlook is positive
as major carriers continue to commit relatively high levels of capital
expenditure to build regional presence and as labor union scope clause
negotiations are resolved.

     The corporate aircraft market has grown in size to approximately $10
billion annually and is more profitable than other civil aircraft segments.
Factors affecting growth of this market are corporate profitability and the
consequent high levels of capital expenditures, introduction of fractional
ownership programs, deteriorating commercial airline service and air traffic
control delays. We believe expansion will remain particularly strong in the
high-end sub-segment of the corporate aircraft market, which will be driven in
part by fractional ownership programs. For then near-term, we believe the
corporate aircraft market will remain strong, based on current levels of OEM
backlogs.

     CABIN MANAGEMENT. Revenues increased by $100.6 million, or 135.6% over the
prior year, due to:

     o     the inclusion of $94.1 million of revenues resulting from our
           acquisitions of Precision Pattern, Custom Woodwork, PCI NewCo,
           International Custom Interiors and Infinity in 1999 and Carl F. Booth
           and ERDA in 2000; and

     o     a $6.5 million increase in entertainment and cabin management product
           revenues reflecting primarily a higher volume of corporate jet
           production by the aircraft manufacturers.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS. Revenues decreased by $1.6 million, or 1.4% 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 $4.4 million, or 7.6% over the
prior year, due to:

     o     a $3.3 million revenue increase resulting from the inclusion of PATS
           for an entire twelve months during 2000; and

     o     $1.1 million related to timing differences between when orders are
           received versus shipped.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $37.2 million, or 47.5%, to $115.3
million for the year ended December 31, 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 increased to 33.2% for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 32.0% for the same period last year primarily as a

     CABIN MANAGEMENT. Gross profit increased by $28.4 million, or 93.6% over
the prior year, due to:

     o     a $31.4 million increase in gross profit resulting from our 1999 and
           2000 acquisitions; offset by

     o     a $1.7 million decrease related to lower margins resulting from
           higher engineering costs associated with developing new entertainment
           system products;

     o     a $0.8 million decrease from production startup inefficiencies at a
           new manufacturing facility; and

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS. Gross profit decreased by $2.7 million, or 8.0% 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 $11.5 million, or 105.8%
over the prior year, due to:

     o     a $5.9 million increase due to recording a one time restructuring
           charge to cost of sales in 1999,

     o     a $2.8 million increase in gross profit resulting from favorable
           auxiliary fuel tank manufacturing and installation efficiencies
           achieved;

     o     a $2.1 million increase resulting, in part, from improved operating
           results subsequent to our 1999 restructuring, which included our exit
           from the manufacturing business at two of our subsidiaries; and

     o     a $0.7 million reduction in engineering costs attributable to project
           development incurred in 1999 but not in 2000.

     CABIN MANAGEMENT. EBITDA increased by $21.7 million, or 89.9% over the
prior year, due to acquisitions and increased volume to support higher
production levels of corporate jets.

     SPECIALTY AVIONICS. EBITDA decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.0% 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 $4.5 million, or 42.2% from the
prior year, due to:

     o     a $2.2 million increase resulting primarily from favorable auxiliary
           fuel tank and power unit manufacturing efficiencies; and

     o     a $2.3 million increase resulting, in part, from improved operating
           results subsequent to our 1999 restructuring, which included our exit
           from the manufacturing business at two of our subsidiaries.

     CORPORATE. EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million, or 21.1% over the prior year,
due to increased incentive compensation and spending for sales and marketing
programs.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $13.7 million to $41.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $27.9 million for the same period
last year, due to:

     o     a $13.3 million increase resulting from higher debt levels associated
           with our acquisition of companies during 1999 and 2000; and

     o     a $0.4 million increase resulting from higher average interest rates
           charged by our lenders 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 $8.0 million to $3.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to net loss of $4.4 million for the
same period in 1999.

     NET INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDER. Net income applicable
to DeCrane Holdings, our common stockholder, increased $5.7 million to $1.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to a net loss of $4.4
million for the same period in 1999. The net increase is attributable to:

     o     a $8.0 million increase in net income; offset by

     o     a $2.3 million increase in accrued dividends and redemption value
           accretion resulting from DeCrane Aircraft's issuance of 16%
           mandatorily redeemable preferred stock on June 30, 2000.

     BOOKINGS. Bookings increased $107.9 million, or 42.8%, to $360.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $252.1 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase in bookings for 2000 results from:

     o     a $91.8 million increase associated with companies we acquired in
           1999 and 2000; and

     o     a $16.1 million increase related to business growth, principally
           related to our Cabin Management and Specialty Avionics group's
           product lines.

       BACKLOG AT END OF PERIOD. Backlog increased $22.2 million to $178.3
million as of December 31, 2000 compared to $156.1 million as of December 31,
1999. The increase in backlog for 2000 includes:

     o     $9.6 million attributable to existing order backlog for companies we
           acquired during 2000; and

     o     a net $12.6 million increase primarily related to our Specialty
           Avionics and Systems Integration groups.

       CABIN MANAGEMENT. EBITDA increased by $18.0 million, or 290.3% over the
prior year, due to our 1999 acquisitions and higher unit sales of entertainment
and cabin management products.


                                       26
<PAGE>


       SPECIALTY AVIONICS.  EBITDA decreased by $2.0 million, or 0.7% over the
prior year, due to:

       o   a decrease in operating income related to weakened demand for our
           commercial aircraft products; offset by inclusion of EBITDA from our
           acquisition of Avtech.

       SYSTEMS INTEGRATION.  EBITDA increased by $9.9 million, or 1,414.3% over
the prior year, due to the inclusion of EBITDA resulting from our acquisition of
PATS.

       CORPORATE. EBITDA increased by $3.4 million, or 38.2% over the prior
year, primarily due to a charge in 1998 related to non-capitalizable tender
offer expenses resulting from our acquisition by DLJ.

       INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $18.7 million to $27.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $9.2 million for the same
period last year. Interest expense increased:

       o   $16.1 million due to higher debt levels associated with the DLJ
           acquisition and our acquisition of companies during 1999; and

       o   $2.6 million due to higher average interest rates incurred during
           1999 primarily due to higher margins charged by our lenders on our
           debt.

       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 decreased $5.0 million to a net loss of
$4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to net income of $0.6
million for the same period in 1998.

       BOOKINGS. Bookings increased $103.6 million, or 69.8%, to $252.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $148.5 million for the same
period in 1998. The increase in bookings for 1999 were primarily due to:

       o   $94.5 million associated with companies we acquired in 1999; and

       o   $9.1 million related to other businesses.

       BACKLOG AT END OF PERIOD. Backlog increased $80.7 million to $156.1
million as of December 31, 1999 compared to $75.4 million as of December 31,
1998. The increase in backlog for 1999 includes:

       o   $72.6 million attributable to existing order backlog for companies
           we acquired during 1999; and

       o   a net $8.1 million increase occurring during 1999 representing an
           increase in demand for our products.

                     SYSTEMS INTEGRATION GROUP RESTRUCTURING

       During 2000, we increased our restructuring reserves by $0.6 million
resulting from higher than anticipated costs to complete certain actions
compared to previous estimates. Also, in connection with the restructuring, we
were able to sell property and equipment previously written down and recognized
a gain of approximately $0.6 million upon disposal. We also paid $2.1 million of
restructuring related costs during the year. Our restructuring reserves total
$0.7 million at December 31, 2000. Future cash payments will be funded from
existing cash balances and internally generated cash from operations. We do not
anticipate recording any material additional charges relating to our
restructuring efforts in 2001.

                         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 provided by operating activities was $16.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000, which is the net of $38.9 million of cash provided by
operations after adding back depreciation, amortization and other noncash items,
$21.3 million used for working capital and $0.8 million resulting from a
decrease in other liabilities. The following factors contributed to the $21.3
million working capital increase:

       o   an $11.3 million inventory increase resulting from longer production
           lead times and inventory level increases to meet current and
           projected revenue growth;

       o   an $4.2 million accounts receivable increase resulting from higher
           revenues, timing differences relating to completing of projects and
           the associated collection;

       o   a $8.4 million net decrease in current liabilities; offset by

       o   a $2.0 million decrease in prepaid and other assets; and

       o   an $0.6 million increase in income taxes payable due to higher
           current taxable income.

       Cash used for investing activities was $112.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, and consisted of:

       o   $59.1 million for our acquisitions during the year;

       o   $30.5 million for contingent acquisition consideration paid during
           2000; and

       o   $22.6 million for capital expenditures, including $5.4 million for
           the purchase of a furniture manufacturing facility for our Cabin
           Management Group.

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

       Cash provided by financing activities was $95.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and was primarily used to fund our acquisitions. We
obtained these funds by borrowing $67.4 million under our senior credit
facility, selling $25.0 million of 16% mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
and the receipt of a $7.9 million capital contribution from DeCrane Holdings. We
used $5.8 million to make principal payments on our senior term debt,
capitalized leases and other debt, and paid $1.9 million of financing costs.

       At December 31, 2000, senior credit facility borrowings totaling $275.8
million are at variable interest rates based on defined margins over the current
prime or Eurodollar rates. At December 31, 2000 we had $57.5 million of working
capital and had $25.0 million of borrowings available under our working capital
credit facility and $12.6 million available under our acquisition credit
facility. Although


                                       28
<PAGE>

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.

                    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. We adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001;
the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

       In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB
No. 101 summarizes the Staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements. The bulletin was
effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. We were in compliance with these
standards; accordingly, the adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have an impact on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

                     SWISS FRANC FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

       Some of the contact blanks we use in the production of our contacts are
manufactured at our Swiss facility and shipped to our El Segundo, California
facility for plating and assembly. In 1997 and 1998, solely in an effort to
mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the
Swiss Franc, we entered into forward exchange contracts at fixed rates. We may
continue efforts to mitigate this risk in the future. We do not engage in any
currency exchange transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Realized and
unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are recognized
currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

         COMPLIANCE OF KEY SYSTEMS WITH YEAR 2000 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

       We experienced no material disruption in customer or supplier
relationships, revenue patterns or customer buying patterns as a result of the
year 2000 problem. There have been no losses of revenue and we do not believe
that any future contingencies related to year 2000 would have a material impact
on our business.

                            COMMON EUROPEAN CURRENCY

       We have evaluated, and will continue to evaluate, the effects on our
operations of the European Economic Monetary Union conversion to the Euro. The
costs to prepare for this conversion, including the costs to adapt information
systems, have not been and are not expected to be material to our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows. We do currently expect the
introduction and use of the Euro


                                       29
<PAGE>

to have a material effect on our foreign exchange and hedging activities, or on
our use of derivative financial instruments.

                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.
We are vulnerable to a variety of risks that affect many businesses, such as:

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

       o   our reliance on key customers and the adverse effect a significant
           decline in business from any one of them would have on our business;

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

       o   competition from larger companies;

       o   Federal Aviation Administration prescribed standards and licensing
           requirements, which apply many of the products and services we
           provide;

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

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

       o   the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

       o   labor disturbances; and

       o   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.

ITEM 7A.        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 December
31, 2000, the current prime rate was 9.5% and the current Eurodollar rate was
6.64%. Based on $275.8 million of variable-rate debt outstanding as of December
31, 2000, a hypothetical one percent rise in interest rates, to 10.5% for prime
rate borrowings and 7.64% for Eurodollar 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


                                       30
<PAGE>

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 $91.0 million at December 31, 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 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 December 31, 2000, we may do so
in the future depending on our assessment of future foreign exchange rate
trends.

           COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

       The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors makes decisions
regarding officer compensation. Jack DeCrane, chief executive officer of DeCrane
Aircraft, participates in those discussions as a member of the Committee.

               EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

R. JACK DECRANE

       On July 17, 1998, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors
approved a three-year employment agreement between DeCrane Aircraft and R. Jack
DeCrane, replacing his prior employment agreement that was to expire on
September 1, 1998. Mr. DeCrane's employment agreement was amended on May 5, 2000
to provide for a term through June 30, 2001, which term shall automatically
extend for additional one year periods unless terminated by either party giving
the other party notice of termination prior to April 1st of the year prior to
the year in which the agreement would otherwise terminate. Mr. DeCrane's
employment agreement provides for various benefits, including:

       o   an initial salary of $310,000, which is subject to annual review and
           increase, but not decrease;

       o   an annual bonus, currently determined pursuant to the
           performance-based cash incentive bonus plan;

       o   a $500,000 bonus in recognition of our then-recent acquisition of
           Avtech Corporation (paid in 1998);

       o   a $250,000 signing bonus (paid in 1998);

       o   options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of DeCrane
           Aircraft at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares as
           of July 16, 1998, one-half of which were immediately exercisable; the
           rest became exercisable upon the completion of the DLJ acquisition;
           and

       o   a $150,000 cash continuation bonus payable on January 2, 1999, if
           employed by us on January 1, 1999 (paid in 1999).

       Mr. DeCrane's options for 50,000 shares granted in July 1998 were
cancelled in August 1998 and he received a cash payout in lieu of the options.

       The employment agreement also provides that if specified
change-of-control events occur, and Mr. DeCrane's employment is terminated by us
for any reason other than for cause or as a result of his death or disability,
or by Mr. DeCrane for "good reason," as defined in the agreement, then we will
pay Mr. DeCrane a lump sum in cash within fifteen days. The amount of that
payment will be $1.00 less than three times the sum of Mr. DeCrane's average
base salary plus bonus for the five calendar years preceding his termination
date and accrued but unpaid salary and bonus through the termination date. Mr.
DeCrane will also receive other specified benefits, including continued coverage
under our welfare plans for up to two years; a lump sum payment in cash equal to
any unvested portions of our contributions to him under specified savings plans,
plus two times the amount of our annual contributions on his behalf to those
plans; a lump sum payment in cash equal to our matching contributions under
those savings plans that Mr. DeCrane would have received had he continued
maximum participation in the plans until the earlier of two years following his
termination and December 31 of the year he turns 65, plus the vested and
unvested amounts credited to him under any of our deferred compensation plans
and the amount required to be credited during the year of his termination; and
outplacement consulting services to aid Mr. DeCrane with re-employment. We will
reduce these payments to the extent necessary to ensure deductibility for tax
purposes.


                                       36
<PAGE>

ROBERT G. MARTIN

       We entered into an employment agreement with Robert G. Martin, Senior
Vice President of DeCrane Aircraft and President of the Systems Integration
Group on September 10, 1999, amending his prior employment agreement dated
September 19, 1996. Mr. Martin's employment agreement provides for an annual
salary of $210,000 and an annual bonus determined pursuant to the
performance-based cash incentive bonus plan. Mr. Martin's employment agreement
expires on December 31, 2001, and DeCrane Aircraft may terminate the agreement
at any time for cause or if Mr. Martin otherwise breaches the agreement or in
the event of Mr. Martin's death or disability.

JEFFREY F. SMITH

       We entered into an employment agreement with Jeffrey F. Smith, Vice
President and General Manager of our Avtech subsidiary, on June 26, 1998. Mr.
Smith's employment agreement provided for an annual salary, initially in the
amount of $145,000 and an annual bonus currently determined pursuant to the
performance-based cash incentive bonus plan. Mr. Smith's employment agreement
expired on June 30, 2000 and has not been replaced.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS

       In September 2000, we entered into change of control agreements with each
of our executive officers, other than Mr. DeCrane, whose above described
employment agreement contains provisions concerning change of control. The
agreements provide that, for a term of two years from the effective date, should
a change of control, as defined, occur during the term of the agreement and the
executive officer's employment shall be involuntarily terminated for any reason
on a date which is less than two years after the date of the change of control,
other than for cause, death or disability, DeCrane Aircraft is required to pay
such executive his then salary plus average annual bonus over the last five
years, equal to twenty four months compensation less the number of months
elapsed from the date of the change of control to the employment termination
date.

401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN

       Substantially all of our full-time employees are eligible to participate
in one of eight 401(k) retirement plans we sponsor. The 401(k) plans allow
employees as participants to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion of their
salary and accumulate tax deferred earnings, as a retirement fund. The plans
generally provide for us to match a percentage of the employee contribution up
to a specified percentage of the employee's salary. The full amount vested in a
participant's account will be distributed to a participant following termination
of employment, normal retirement or in the event of disability or death.

INCENTIVE PLANS

       Our management incentive plan provides for the issuance of options to
purchase the common stock of DeCrane Holdings as incentive compensation to
designated executive personnel and other key employees of DeCrane Aircraft and
its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
administers the management incentive plan. The plan provides for the granting of
options to purchase 356,257 common shares and expires in 2009. Substantially all
of the options awarded become fully vested and exercisable eight years from the
date of grant but vesting and exercise can be accelerated based upon future
attainment of defined performance criteria. At December 31, 2000, 33% of most of
the options granted are vested and exercisable. We believe the per share
exercise price of the options granted approximated the fair market value of the
underlying common stock on each of the grant dates.


                                       37
<PAGE>

       Beginning in 1999, we have permitted, from time-to-time, designated
executive personnel and other key employees to purchase shares of common stock
of DeCrane Holdings, with a portion of the purchase price to be loaned to the
participants by DeCrane Aircraft. This arrangement was made available to persons
and in amounts determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. In December 1999, management purchased 171,295 shares of DeCrane
Holdings common stock for $23.00 per share. The total purchase price was $3.9
million, of which one-half was paid in cash and one-half was loaned to
management by DeCrane Aircraft with interest at applicable federal rates. During
2000, an additional 19,707 shares of DeCrane Holdings common stock was purchased
by employees at $23.00 per share, which was paid in cash.

       Our cash incentive bonus plan provides for the allocation of a bonus pool
each year for incentive compensation to designated executive personnel and other
key employees of DeCrane Aircraft and its subsidiaries. The bonus pool for
participants will be adjusted upwards or downwards each year based on EBITDA and
cash flow, as defined, generated by the relevant participant's operating unit.
Bonus payments will be made in the quarter following the end of the year or
period to which they relate.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

       In December 1999, we established a deferred compensation plan in which
certain designated executive officers and key employees are permitted to defer a
portion of their compensation earned. The Company invests amounts deferred and
participants are fully vested in the amounts representing the fair market value
of their investment accounts. We make no contributions on behalf of the
participants and the invested assets are subject to the claims of our general
creditors.

                             DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

       The directors of DeCrane Aircraft generally do not receive annual fees or
fees for attending meetings of the Board of Directors of DeCrane Aircraft or
committees thereof. However, John F. Fort, III, an independent director not
affiliated with any investor in DeCrane Holdings, receives a director's fee of
$5,000 for each meeting attended. In addition, the Board of Directors of DeCrane
Holdings extended the management incentive plan to independent non-management
directors, and issued options to purchase 6,260 shares of DeCrane Holdings
common stock to Mr. Fort under the terms of the management incentive plan. See
"Related Party Transactions." Also, Mr. Fort is reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses. We expect to continue those policies.

                     TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

ACQUISITION OF DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. BY CREDIT SUISSE GROUP

       DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, II, L.P. is an affiliate of Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. In November 2000, Credit Suisse Group and its Credit

Upon completion of the acquisition, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. was

Corporation, is the sole market-maker for our senior subordinated notes. In
addition, DeCrane Aircraft is obligated to pay CSFB Corporation an annual
advisory fee of $300,000 until 2003. We may from time to time enter into other
investment banking relationships with CSFB Corporation or one of its affiliates
pursuant to which they will receive customary fees and will be entitled to
reimbursement for all reasonable disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection therewith. We expect that any such arrangement will
include provisions for the indemnification of CSFB Corporation against
liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors
and Stockholder of
DeCrane Aircraft Holdings, Inc.


     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of DeCrane Aircraft Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1999 and 2000, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the eight
months ended August 31, 1998, the four months ended December 31, 1998 and the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion,
the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

     DeCrane Aircraft Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "DeCrane
Aircraft") is a leading provider of integrated assemblies, sub-assemblies and
component parts to the aircraft industry. During 1999, the Company reorganized
its businesses into three separate operating groups: Cabin Management, Specialty
Avionics and Systems Integration. As a result of the DLJ acquisition in August
1998 (Note 2), the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DeCrane Holdings
Co. ("DeCrane Holdings").


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnership interests.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial statements to conform
to the current year presentation.

     As a result of the DLJ acquisition in August 1998 (Note 2), the Company has
presented its results of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash
flows on a predecessor/successor basis.

     Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined under the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or market. Costs include materials, labor
and manufacturing overhead.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment for companies acquired are stated at fair value as
of the date the acquisition occurred and at cost for all subsequent additions.
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. Useful lives for machinery and equipment range from two
to twenty years. Building and building improvements are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of forty years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives or remaining lease term, whichever is less. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The costs for improvements are
capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost and accumulated depreciation
of property and equipment are reduced and any gain or loss is recorded in income
or expense.

NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

OTHER ASSETS

     Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty years from the
date the acquisition occurred. Additional goodwill resulting from contingent
consideration payments subsequent to the acquisition date is amortized
prospectively over the remaining period of the initial thirty-year term. Other
intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives, ranging from five to fifteen years. Deferred financing costs are
amortized using either the straight-line or effective interest method, over the
term of the related debt.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain intangible assets for
impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than
the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the
asset's carrying value over its fair value is recorded. In 1999, the Company
recorded a $1,259,000 pre-tax charge to reflect the impairment loss resulting
from the closing of a manufacturing facility (Note 4).

ACCRUED WARRANTIES

     The Company sells some products to customers with various repair or
replacement warranties. The terms of the warranties vary according to the
customer and/or product involved. The most common warranty periods are either
the earlier of twelve to sixty months from the date of delivery to the operator
or forty-two months from the date of manufacture.

     Provisions for estimated future warranty costs are made in the period
corresponding to the sale of the product and such costs have been within
management's expectations. Classification between short and long-term warranty
obligations is estimated based on historical trends.

DERIVATIVES

     The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes but only to manage well-defined foreign exchange rate risks. Market
value gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized
currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

     The Company enters into Swiss franc forward exchange contracts to purchase
Swiss francs as a general economic hedge against foreign inventory procurement
and manufacturing costs. Market value gains and losses on forward foreign
exchange contracts recognized in the consolidated statements of operations
aggregated a realized net gain (loss) of $323,000 for the eight months ended
August 31, 1998 and $146,000 for the four months ended December 31, 1998. The
Company had no open forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 1998 and did
not enter in any such contracts during the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2000.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)


NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. A deferred
tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the
enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.
Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset or
liability. If necessary, valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred
tax assets to their expected realizable values.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. The
estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on either quoted
market prices or current rates for similar issues for debt of the same remaining
maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company's $100,000,000 senior
subordinated debt was approximately $92,000,000 at December 31, 1999 and
$91,000,000 at December 31, 2000. All other non-derivative financial instruments
as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 approximate their carrying amounts either
because of the short maturity of the instrument, or based on their effective
interest rates compared to current market rates for similar long-term debt or
obligations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

     The financial statements of the Company's U.K. and Swiss subsidiaries have
been translated into U.S. dollars from their functional currencies, pounds
sterling and Swiss francs, respectively, in the consolidated financial
statements. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date and income statement amounts have been translated at
average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net translation
adjustment is reflected as a component of accumulated comprehensive income or
loss within stockholder's equity.

     Realized foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other income
or expense in the consolidated statements of operations were ($411,000) for the
eight months ended August 31, 1998, ($262,000) for the four months ended
December 31, 1998, $530,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $351,000
for the year ended December 31, 2000.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs were
$1,195,000 for the eight months ended August 31, 1998, $832,000 for the four
months ended December 31, 1998, $4,264,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999
and $4,630,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

STOCK OPTION PLAN

     As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company measures
compensation expense related to the employee stock option plan utilizing the
intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenues from the sale of manufactured products, except for products
manufactured under long-term contracts, are recorded when products are shipped.
Revenues from long-term contracts are recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method using the total contract price, actual costs
incurred to date and an estimate of the completion costs. Any anticipated losses
on contracts are charged to operations when identified.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 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. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001; the adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB
No. 101 summarizes the Staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements. The bulletin was
effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company was in compliance with
these standards; accordingly, the adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have an impact
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2.       THE DLJ ACQUISITION

     In July 1998, DeCrane Holdings Co., a newly incorporated entity, and two
other holding companies were organized by DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P.
and affiliated funds and entities to carry out a tender offer for all the shares
of the DeCrane Aircraft's common stock, including options to purchase shares
which became immediately vested, for $23.00 per share. At the completion of the
tender offer in August 1998, the two other holding companies merged with the
DeCrane Aircraft. All of DeCrane Aircraft's previously outstanding shares were
canceled and, as a result, DeCrane Aircraft became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
DeCrane Holdings. DeCrane Aircraft incurred nonrecurring charges totaling $3.6
million (pre-tax) during the eight months ended August 31, 1998 in conjunction
with the transaction. This transaction is referred to herein as the DLJ
acquisition.

     The gross purchase price for the shares and options was $186.3 million.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated
fair values based on an independent appraisal and, accordingly, historical
values were increased as follows:

o     $4.4 million to inventory;

o     $2.6 million to property and equipment; and

o     $50.0 million to certain identifiable intangible assets.

     The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
acquired totaling $70.0 million was allocated to goodwill. The increase in
inventory value was expensed as the inventory was sold during the four months
ended December 31, 1998. The intangible assets, other than goodwill, are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from five to fifteen
years. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of
thirty years. As a result of the tender offer, the Company terminated a debt
offering which was in process at that time and recorded a $0.6 million pre-tax
charge for the eight months ended August 31, 1998 for the estimated costs
incurred.

     Concurrent with the DLJ acquisition, DeCrane Aircraft was required to repay
all of its borrowings under its then existing credit facility. In order to fund
the purchase of the shares in the tender offer, repay the credit facility and
pay expenses incurred in connection therewith, DeCrane Aircraft:

o    received a $99.0 million equity contribution from DeCrane Holdings;

o    entered into a new syndicated senior secured credit facility; and

o    issued $100.0 million of senior subordinated increasing rate notes
     (referred to herein as the bridge notes).


     In October 1998, subsequent to DeCrane Aircraft's acquisition by DeCrane
Holdings and its related financing, the bridge notes were repaid with the
proceeds from DeCrane Aircraft's issuance of $100.0 million of 12% senior
subordinated notes, which were paired with warrants to purchase 155,000 shares
of DeCrane Holdings common stock. In conjunction with the repayment of the
DeCrane Aircraft's existing credit facility indebtedness concurrent with the DLJ
acquisition and the repayment of the bridge notes, DeCrane Aircraft recorded a
$2.2 million extraordinary charge, net of income tax benefit of $1.5 million,
during the four months ended December 31, 1998.

</TABLE>


     The 1998 acquisitions were funded with borrowings under the Company's then
existing credit facility. The 1999 and 2000 acquisitions were funded with
borrowings under the Company's senior credit facility, equity contributions from
DeCrane Holdings and the sale of preferred stock as described in Note 12, and a
$5,000,000 customer advance to be offset against amounts receivable from future
product deliveries.

     The increase in inventory value was charged to operations as the inventory
was sold during the periods immediately following acquisition. Identifiable
intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives, ranging from seven to fifteen years. 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.

     Based upon the acquired companies level of attainment of their defined
performance criteria during the three years ended December 31, 2000, the Company
recorded contingent consideration payable of $3,000,000 in 1998, $29,825,000 in
1999 and $20,154,000 in 2000, resulting in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
The contingent consideration is included in accrued liabilities in the
consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum determinable contingent
consideration payment obligations remaining as of December 31, 2000 are
described in Note 14.

NOTE 4.       RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER NONRECURRING CHARGES

     In December 1999, the Company announced a plan to reorganize and
restructure the operations of two of its subsidiaries within the Systems
Integration Group. The restructuring was a result of a management 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 connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded
nonrecurring pre-tax charges to operations of $9,935,000 in 1999 for
restructuring costs including severance and other exit costs, asset impairments
and inventory reserves. Of this amount, $5,983,000 is included in cost of goods
sold for inventory write-downs as a consequence of exiting the manufacturing
business. The remaining $3,952,000 is included in selling, general and
administration expenses related to all other restructuring costs, as described
below:

-    The Company's restructuring plan resulted in the impairment of certain
     property and equipment related to the closing of the manufacturing
     facility. As a result, these assets were written down to their net
     realizable value.

-    Lease termination and other related costs include primarily the net loss
     expected to be incurred on the remaining existing lease under a long-term
     rental agreement at the facility being vacated following the restructuring.
     The loss has been reduced by the expected sublease income.

-    Severance and other compensation costs relate to the termination of
     approximately fifty employees. The majority of these employees are hourly
     workers located in the manufacturing facility, which ceased operations in
     June 2000. The remainder of the work force reduction consists of the
     elimination of duplicate administrative personnel following the
     consolidation of the operations.

     The Company commenced the restructuring during 1999 and completed the plan
in the third quarter of 2000. Of the total charge, $7,242,000 represents a
noncash write-down of assets. Components of the restructuring, asset impairment
and other nonrecurring charges incurred through December 31, 2000 are as
follows:

NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER NONRECURRING CHARGES
     (CONTINUED)

     The total restructuring, asset impairment and other nonrecurring charges
above include costs totaling $787,000 that were incurred during the first three
quarters of 1999 and related primarily to downsizing activities within the
Systems Integration Group prior to the adoption of the formal restructuring
plan.

     The adjustments made in 2000 reflect the increase to the restructuring
reserves as a result of higher than anticipated costs to complete certain
actions compared to previous estimates. Additionally, during 2000 the Company
was able to sell property and equipment previously written down and recognized a
gain on disposal of approximately $600,000.

     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.

     During the eight months ended August 31, 1998, the Company recorded a
$3,632,000 pre-tax nonrecurring charge in connection with its acquisition by
DLJ. This amount is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.



NOTE 5.       ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk as the
Company relies heavily on customers operating in the domestic and foreign
corporate and commercial aircraft industries. Generally, the Company does not
require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable subject to
credit risk. Under certain circumstances, deposits or cash-on-delivery terms are
required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and
generally, such losses have been within management's expectations.

     Accounts receivable is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$1,966,000 at December 31, 1999 and $1,902,000 at December 31, 2000. Included in
accounts receivable are unbilled receivables under long-term contracts totaling
$5,354,000 at December 31, 2000 (none at December 31, 1999).

     During 1999 and 2000, the Company amended its senior credit facility and
borrowed $190,000,000 to finance, in part, acquisitions.

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

     The senior credit facility provides for term loan borrowings in the
aggregate principal amount of $270,000,000 and revolving lines of credit for
borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 each for working
capital and to finance acquisitions. Principal payments for term loan borrowings
are due in increasing amounts over the next six years and all borrowings under
the revolving loan facility must be repaid by September 30, 2004. Loans under
the senior credit facility generally bear interest based on a margin over, at
the Company's option, the prime rate or the Eurodollar rate. The margins
applicable to certain portions of amounts borrowed may vary depending upon the
Company's consolidated debt leverage ratio. Currently, the applicable margins
are 1.50% to 2.75% for prime rate borrowings and 2.75% to 4.00% for Eurodollar
borrowings. The weighted-average interest rate on all senior credit facility
borrowings outstanding was 10.13% as of December 31, 2000. Borrowings under the
senior credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. The Company is subject to certain commitment fees under the facility as
well as the maintenance of certain financial ratios, cash flow results and other
restrictive covenants, including the payment of dividends in cash.

NOTE 10.      LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

12% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

     In October 1998, the bridge notes issued in connection with the DLJ
acquisition were repaid with the net proceeds from the Company's issuance of
$100,000,000 of 12% senior subordinated notes, which were paired in units with
warrants to purchase 155,000 shares of DeCrane Holdings common stock. The senior
subordinated notes will mature on September 30, 2008; interest is payable
semi-annually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. The senior subordinated
notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company and are subordinated in
right of payment to substantially all existing and future senior indebtedness of
the Company, including senior credit facility indebtedness. Prior to maturity,
the Company may redeem all or some of the senior subordinated notes at defined
redemption prices, which may include a premium. In the event of a change in
control, the holders may require the Company to repurchase the senior
subordinated notes for a redemption price that may also include a premium.

OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

     As of December 31, 2000, other indebtedness reflects acquisition financing
payable to sellers in connection with their respective acquisitions. The debt is
non-interest bearing; original issue discounts ranging between 10.5% and 12.5%
are being amortized over the term.

NOTE 11.      INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

     Prior to 1997, the Company incurred losses and accordingly provided a
valuation allowance for its domestic deferred net tax assets. Management
believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate taxable
income sufficient to realize the tax benefit associated with the future
deductible deferred tax assets and loss carryforwards prior to their expiration.
As a result, the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $2,575,000 during
the four months ended December 31, 1998.

     As of December 31, 2000, the Company has total loss carryforwards of
approximately $10,342,000 for federal income tax purposes and $2,009,000 for
state income tax purposes, which includes federal loss carryforwards acquired in
the Avtech and ERDA acquisitions. The loss carryforwards are not subject to
limitations on their annual utilization ("Section 382 limitation," as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code) and therefore are available for utilization in 2001.
Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not material to the
consolidated financial statements. As such, foreign taxes that may be due, net
of U.S. foreign tax credits, have not been provided.

NOTE 12.      SUCCESSOR CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     Upon completion of the DLJ tender offer in August 1998, all of DeCrane
Aircraft's then existing predecessor capital structure was canceled. DeCrane
Aircraft's predecessor capital structure and transactions are described in Note
13. The capital structure and transactions described herein pertain to DeCrane
Holdings and DeCrane Aircraft from DeCrane Holdings' inception in 1998 to
December 31, 2000. DeCrane Aircraft is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DeCrane

NOTE 12.      SUCCESSOR CAPITAL STRUCTURE (CONTINUED)

     On June 30, 2000, 250,000 shares of DeCrane Aircraft 16% preferred stock
and warrants to purchase 139,357 shares of DeCrane Holdings common stock were
sold for $25,000,000 to DLJ affiliates (Note 17). The proceeds from the sale
were used to fund, in part, the ERDA acquisition. A portion of the proceeds from
the sale totaling $4,019,000 was ascribed to the common stock warrants and was
credited to additional paid-in capital. The corresponding reduction in
redemption value of the preferred stock, and related issuance costs, are
recorded as an issuance discount and are being amortized using the effective
interest method through the preferred stock mandatory redemption date.

     DeCrane Aircraft is authorized to issue 700,000 shares of 16% Senior
Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock Due 2009, $.01 par value. The preferred
stock has a $100.00 per share liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid
cash dividends, and is non-voting.

     Holders of the 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 six months ended
December 31, 2000, DeCrane Aircraft elected to issue 20,400 additional shares in
lieu of cash dividend payments. 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.

CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE AND UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

     The Company is authorized to issue 8,314,018 shares of cumulative
convertible preferred stock, $.01 par value; none has been issued or outstanding
during the three years ended December 31, 2000.

     The Company is also authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par
value undesignated preferred stock. On June 30, 2000, 700,000 of those shares
were designated 16% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock Due 2009;
9,300,000 shares remain undesignated as of December 31, 2000.

COMMON STOCK

     In August 1998, DeCrane Aircraft received $99,000,000 from the sale of 100
shares of common stock to DeCrane Holdings. DeCrane Aircraft has 100 shares
($.01 par value) issued and outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 2000. During
1999 and 2000, DeCrane Aircraft received additional cash capital contributions
from DeCrane Holdings aggregating $14,368,000 in 1999 and $7,902,000 in 2000
resulting from DeCrane Holdings' sale of capital stock and used the proceeds to
fund portions of the acquisitions completed during those years.

NOTES RECEIVABLE FOR SHARES SOLD

     During 1998 and 1999, DeCrane Holdings sold mandatorily redeemable
preferred and common stock in three transactions in which one-half of the
purchase price was paid in cash and one-half was loaned to the purchasers by
DeCrane Aircraft, with interest at the then applicable federal rates. The loans
bear interest at rates ranging between 4.33% and 5.74%. The loans, plus accrued
interest, are payable upon the sale of the stock and are collaterialized by such
stock. The resulting notes receivable, plus accrued interest, are classified as
a reduction of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. The
three transactions, which resulted in loans for one-half of the total purchase
price, were as follows:

-    in December 1998, a group of related party investors (Note 17) purchased
     mandatorily redeemable preferred and common stock for $704,000;

-    in October 1999, the same group of investors purchased additional shares of
     common stock for $250,000; and

-    in December 1999, DeCrane Aircraft's management purchased common stock for
     $3,940,000.

     During 2000, a note receivable totaling $51,000, including accrued
interest, was canceled in conjunction with the repurchase of the common stock
that collaterialized the note for its original $23.00 per share issuance price.

NOTE 13.      PREDECESSOR CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND TRANSACTIONS

     All of events and transactions described below occurred prior to the DLJ
acquisition. The debt and equity securities described are no longer issued or
outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

     In April 1998, the Company sold 2,206,177 shares of common stock for $17.00
per share. Net proceeds from the offering of $34,815,000 were used to partially
repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's then existing senior credit
facility.

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

     In connection with the DLJ acquisition in August 1998, all stock options
vested and were either exercised or canceled as of August 31, 1998.

NOTE 14.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

     As part of its investigation of the crash Swissair Flight 111 off the
Canadian coast on September 2, 1998, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board
("TSB") notified the Company that they recovered burned wire that was attached
to the in-flight entertainment system installed on some of Swissair's aircraft
by one of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company is fully cooperating with the
on-going TSB investigation. Although the TSB has not issued a final report, it
has advised the Company that it has no evidence to date that the system the
Company's subsidiary installed malfunctioned or failed during the flight.
Families of the 229 persons who died aboard the flight have filed actions in
federal and state courts against the Company, and many other unaffiliated
parties, including Swissair and Boeing. The actions claim negligence, strict
liability and breach of warranty relating to the installation and testing of the
in-flight entertainment system. The actions seek compensatory and punitive
damages and costs in an unstated amount. All of the actions have been
transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania and assigned under MDL Case No. 1269 for coordinated or
consolidated pretrial proceedings. The Company intends to defend the claims
vigorously.

     The Company is a party to a license agreement with McDonnell Douglas (now a
part of Boeing) pursuant to which the Company may request specified data in
order to design and market modifications to aircraft manufactured by McDonnell
Douglas. Under the agreement, the Company is to pay McDonnell Douglas a royalty
of five percent of the net sales price of all modifications sold by the Company
for which it has requested data from McDonnell Douglas. The Company requested
data for a single modification, which the Company believes is exempt from the
agreement's provision requiring royalties. In 1996, McDonnell Douglas made a
demand for $650,000 for royalties. The Company believes that it is not obligated
to McDonnell Douglas in any amount. However, if the claim is asserted, and if
the Company is unsuccessful in defending it, the Company may be required to pay
royalties to McDonnell Douglas.

     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 all of the foregoing matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

FUNDING OF DECRANE HOLDINGS PREFERRED STOCK OBLIGATIONS

     The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of DeCrane Holdings whose capital
structure also includes mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Since the
Company is DeCrane Holdings' only operating subsidiary and source of cash, the
Company may be required to fund DeCrane Holdings' preferred stock dividend and
redemption obligations in the future.

     DeCrane Holdings' preferred stock dividends are payable quarterly at a rate
of 14% per annum. Prior to September 30, 2005, dividends are not paid in cash
but instead accrete to the liquidation value of the preferred stock, which, in
turn, increases the redemption obligation. On or after September 30, 2005,
preferred stock dividends are required to be paid in cash, if declared. The
DeCrane Holdings preferred stock has a total redemption value of $47,252,000 as
of December 31, 2000, including accumulated dividends.

STOCK BASED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

     In December 1999, DeCrane Holding's Board of Directors approved a
management incentive plan which provides for the issuance of options to purchase
the common stock of DeCrane Holdings as incentive compensation to designated
executive personnel and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of DeCrane Holdings
administers the plan and determines the amount of options granted from time to
time. The plan provides for the granting of options to purchase 356,257 common
shares and expires in 2009. The options are granted at fair market value at the
date of grant. Substantially all of the options awarded become fully vested and
exercisable eight years from the date of grant but vesting and exercise can be
accelerated based upon future attainment of defined performance criteria. In
addition, the plan's Committee may authorize alternate vesting schedules. The
plan also provides for the acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of
certain events, including, under certain circumstances, a change of control.

     During 1999, options to purchase 282,922 shares were granted under the
plan, of which 27,994 shares vested immediately and options to purchase an
additional 29,942 shares vested based on the attainment of year 1999 performance
criteria. During 2000, options to purchase 80,623 shares were granted under the
plan, of which 15,828 shares vested immediately. An additional 36,832 shares
from the 1999 and 2000 grants vested based on the attainment of year 2000
performance criteria.

     The per share exercise price of the options granted was equal to the fair
market value of the common stock on each of the grant dates, and accordingly, no
compensation expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2000.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED TO OTHERS

     In July 1999, a group of related party investors, including two individuals
who were then serving as directors, were granted options as compensation for
consulting services. Options were granted to purchase 44,612 shares of DeCrane
Holdings common stock at $23.00 per share and the per share exercise price was
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The
options vest over a three-year period, are subject to acceleration if DLJ and
its affiliates sell any of their shares of common stock, and expire in 2009.

     For compensatory stock options granted to non-employees, the Company
recognized compensation expense of $143,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999
and $561,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. For non-compensatory stock
options, the Company uses APB Opinion No. 25 to account for stock-based
compensation and, accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized during the
year ended December 31, 1999 and 2000. The Company has adopted the
disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. For the year ended December 31,
1999, the effect of applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 to the
options granted to employees and directors in 1999 did not result in pro forma
net income or loss that was materially different from the historical amount
reported. For the year ended December 31, 2000, net income, pro forma for the
effect of applying the fair value method to the options granted in 1999 and
2000, would have been as follows:

     For the purposes of the pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of
the options is amortized over the options' vesting period. The effect of
applying SFAS No. 123 may not be representative of the pro forma effect in
future years since additional options may be granted during those future years.

     The fair value of the options was determined using the following
assumptions:

</TABLE>

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models, as well as the minimum value method,
do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of its employee stock
options.

     The minimum value method, which is an acceptable method for non-public
companies, excludes stock price volatility.

MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASES

     Beginning in December 1999, DeCrane Holding's Board of Directors has
permitted designated executive personnel and other key employees to purchase
shares of common stock of DeCrane Holdings, with a portion of the purchase price
to be loaned to the participants by DeCrane Aircraft. In December 1999,
management purchased 171,295 shares of DeCrane Holdings' common stock for $23.00
per share. The total purchase price was approximately $3,900,000, of which
one-half was paid in cash and one-half was loaned to management by DeCrane
Aircraft as described in Note 12. In 2000, management purchased an additional
20,707 shares for $23.00 per share in cash pursuant to the plan's antidilution
provisions. Dilution resulted from the issuance of the DeCrane Holdings common
stock warrants in connection with the sale of DeCrane Aircraft's 16% preferred
stock.

NOTE 17.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

     DLJ is represented on the Board of Directors of both DeCrane Holdings and
DeCrane Aircraft. In addition, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation (formerly
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation) is involved in
market-making activities for DeCrane Holding's Class A common stock warrants and

0.7% of its preferred stock, all on a fully diluted basis, and had two members
on the Company's Board of Directors from August 1998 through July 2000. DeCrane

ranging between 4.33% and 5.44%. The loans, plus accrued interest, are payable
from the proceeds from the sale of the stock and are collaterialized by such
stock.

NOTE 18.      BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

     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 manufactures electronic
     components, display devices and interconnect components and assemblies; and

-    SYSTEMS INTEGRATION - provides auxiliary fuel tanks, auxiliary power units
     and system 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,
restructuring and asset impairment charges, acquisition related 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.

     The accounting policies of the groups are substantially the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1). 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 19.      SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     In conjunction with the senior credit facility and 12% senior subordinated
notes described in Note 10, 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:

(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.
