------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, basic EPS is computed by
allocating income available for distribution to the common and preferred
shareholders using the "two-class" method prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share." Net earnings
are reduced by dividends to preferred and common shareholders to arrive at net
earnings available for distribution. These earnings are then allocated between
the common and preferred shareholders based on the weighted average common and
preferred shares outstanding, on an as-converted basis. Diluted EPS is computed
using the if-converted method by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001 and the six month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of
common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts are made
independently; therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the quarters may not
equal per share amounts for the year.
Diluted EPS was not dilutive, or lower than basic, for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2002. Therefore, diluted EPS for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2002 is presented equal to basic EPS.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On March 15, 2002 following stockholder approval, our Series B Senior
Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, or Series B Redeemable Preferred
Stock, was automatically converted into 45,110 shares of Series D Senior
Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, or Series D Redeemable Preferred
Stock, which as of March 15, 2002 was convertible into 7,777,584 shares of
common stock. Upon conversion of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, we
recorded a $20.5 million deemed dividend reflecting the difference between the
closing market price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March
15, 2002 and the $5.80 conversion price of the Series D Redeemable Preferred
Stock negotiated in December 2001, multiplied by the total number of shares of
common stock into which the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock could have been
converted on March 15, 2002.
Dividends on the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock are payable quarterly
in additional shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock on a cumulative
basis at an annual rate of 9.0%. On June 30, 2002, we issued an additional 1,035
shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock and recorded $1.0 million in
payment of the quarterly dividend due June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, there
were 47,158 shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding, which
were convertible into 8,130,687 shares of common stock.
Unless previously converted into common stock, we must redeem all
outstanding shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock on June 21, 2008 for
$1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any.
NOTE 6 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
or SFAS 142. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets. The statement eliminates amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires a transitional
impairment test of these assets within six months of the date of adoption and an
annual impairment test thereafter and in certain circumstances. We have
completed the transitional impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite lives as of January 1, 2002, and no impairment was noted.

NOTE 7 - DEBT
On March 15, 2002 following stockholder approval, we issued to our senior
unsecured noteholders warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares
of our common stock (subject to adjustment for antidilution events) at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share. We valued the warrants using an option
pricing model and recorded an $11.1 million discount on our senior unsecured
notes. This discount is amortized over the term of the senior unsecured notes.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the information set forth under Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 20 through 32 of Aviall,
Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
NET SALES. Net sales for Aviall Services were $186.3 million, an increase
of $58.7 million or 46.0%, from the $127.7 million recorded in the second
quarter of 2001. Sales in the government/military segment increased $58.3
million, while increased market share in the general aviation segment enabled
sales to improve by $10.2 million. Sales in the weaker commercial airline
segment declined $9.8 million, largely offsetting the increased general aviation
sales. Sales of products related to the Rolls-Royce T56/501 D, or RR T56, engine
line increased approximately $58 million. The reported second quarter revenues
do not include approximately $36 million of RR T56 sales (valued at our
contractual prices) made directly by Rolls-Royce to the U.S. military during the
RR T56 transition program. However, we did receive our full margin for
Rolls-Royce's direct sales of these parts. During June 2002, we successfully
assumed responsibility for all RR T56 engine parts shipments including support
for the U.S. military.
Net sales at Inventory Locator Service, or ILS, of $6.8 million were up
$0.2 million year-over-year, marking the second successive quarter of revenue
gains for the global electronic marketplace. ILS continued to set new records
for inventory listings, the number of accesses, and the number of subscribers on
ILSmart.com, with overall usage increasing by over 11% year-over-year.
9
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit of $42.5 million for the second quarter of 2002
was up $12.5 million, or 41.5%, from the second quarter 2001 level of $30.0
million. As expected, gross profit as a percentage of net sales fell slightly to
22.0%, reflecting the incorporation of lower-margin RR T56 sales. On a pro forma
basis including the approximately $36 million of RR T56 sales (valued at our
contractual prices) made directly by Rolls-Royce, Aviall's second quarter gross
profit as a percentage of net sales would have been 18.6%.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
increased $3.1 million to $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $21.4
million in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in selling and
administrative expenses is largely attributable to the new RR T56 product line
and higher depreciation costs associated with increased spending on technology
infrastructure. This increase in selling and administrative expenses was
partially offset by the implementation of SFAS 142, which reduced goodwill
amortization by $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the
second quarter of 2001. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales fell 3.2 percentage points to 12.7% in the second quarter of 2002 from
15.9% in the second quarter of 2001.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $3.1 million to $5.7 million
in the second quarter of 2002 from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2001.
This expected increase was primarily due to our new capital structure which
resulted in higher borrowings, higher amortization of debt issuance costs and
debt discount, and the relatively high interest rate on our senior unsecured
notes.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were $7.8
million, an increase of 118.0% compared to the $3.6 million reported in the
second quarter of 2001.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND. The noncash preferred stock dividend of $1.0
million in June 2002 resulted from the issuance of 1,035 shares of Series D
Redeemable Preferred Stock in payment of the quarterly payable-in-kind dividend
on the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock due June 30, 2002.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
NET SALES. Net sales for Aviall Services were $347.4 million, an increase
of $96.4 million or 38.4%, from the $251.0 million recorded in the first six
months of 2001. Sales in the government/military segment increased $105.6
million, partially offset by a $23.3 million decline in sales to our commercial
airline customers. Aviall Services' net sales for the six months ended June 30,
2002 also reflect increased sales of $14.1 million in the general aviation
segment resulting from market share gains. Sales of products relating to the RR
T56 engine line increased approximately $105 million. The 2002 net sales amounts
do not include approximately $74 million of RR T56 sales (valued at our
contractual prices) made directly by Rolls-Royce to the U.S. military during the
RR T56 transition program which ended in June 2002. We received full margin for
these sales and assumed responsibility for direct shipments to the U.S. military
on Rolls-Royce's behalf at the end of the second quarter of 2002. Net sales at
ILS were $13.3 million - up slightly year-over-year. ILS continued to set new
records for inventory listings, the number of accesses, and the number of
subscribers on ILSmart.com, with overall usage increasing by over 13%
year-over-year.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit of $79.6 million increased $20.9 million or
35.7% in the first half of 2002 compared to $58.7 million in the first half of
2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales fell slightly to 22.1%,
reflecting the incorporation of lower-margin RR T56 sales. On a pro forma basis,
including the approximately $74 million of RR T56 sales (valued at our
contractual prices) made directly by Rolls-Royce, Aviall's full year gross
profit as a percentage of net sales would have been 18.3%.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
increased $5.3 million to $48.5 million in the first six months of 2002 as
compared to the first six months of 2001, but decreased as a percentage of net
sales from 16.3% to 13.5%. The increase in selling and administrative expenses
is largely attributable to the new RR T56 product line, higher depreciation
costs associated with increased spending on technology infrastructure, and the
cost of a special meeting of stockholders held in March 2002. This increase in
selling and administrative expenses was partially offset by the implementation
of SFAS 142, which reduced goodwill amortization by $1.0 million in the first
half of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.
10
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $6.3 million to $11.2 million
in the first six months of 2002 from $4.9 million in the first six months of
2001. This expected increase was primarily due to our new capital structure
which resulted in higher borrowings, higher amortization of debt issuance costs
and debt discount, and the relatively high interest rate on our senior unsecured
notes.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings for the first six months of 2002 were $12.3
million, an increase of 96.2% compared to the $6.3 million reported in the first
half of 2001.
DEEMED DIVIDEND. The deemed dividend of $20.5 million in 2002 resulted from
the conversion of all of our outstanding Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock
into 45,110 shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock on March 15, 2002. The
deemed dividend reflects the difference between the closing market price of our
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 15, 2002 and the $5.80
conversion price of the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock negotiated in
December 2001, multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock into
which the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock could have been converted on March
15, 2002.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND. The noncash preferred stock dividends of $2.1
million paid during the first half of 2002 resulted from the issuance of 2,048
shares of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock in payment of the quarterly
payable-in-kind dividends on the Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock due in the
first half of 2002.
INCOME TAXES
Cash tax (refunds) payments were $(0.2) million and $0.2 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Our cash income tax
expense continues to be substantially lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate
through the use of our large U.S. federal net operating loss. Our cash tax
expense is primarily related to foreign taxes on foreign operations. In order to
fully utilize our $71.2 million deferred tax asset as of December 2001, we must
generate $196.2 million of taxable income. As of December 31, 2001, our
estimated net operating loss carryforward was approximately $137.3 million,
substantially expiring in 2009 through 2011. We generated U.S. federal taxable
income of $20.0 million, $12.0 million and $15.9 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Based on current and expected future earnings levels, we believe
it is more likely than not our net operating losses will be fully utilized. The
net operating losses may not be fully utilized for several years if we do not
achieve expected future earnings levels. Additionally, if certain substantial
changes in our ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on
the amount of the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward that we could
utilize. The amount of the annual limitation could vary significantly based on
factors existing at the date of the change in ownership.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flows provided by (used for) operations were $19.5 million in the
first six months of 2002 compared to $(28.2) million in the first six months of
2001. The increase in 2002 resulted primarily from sales and gross margin from
the new RR T56 contract and an increase in accounts payable subsequent to the
December 2001 initial upfront payment for inventory. Aviall Services inventory
turns and receivables days beyond terms have improved moderately since December
2001. Capital expenditures, primarily for planned system enhancements at both
Aviall Services and ILS and costs related to the implementation of the RR T56
contract, were $3.1 million in the first six months of 2002 compared to $5.9
million in the first six months of 2001. We expect capital expenditures
(including noncash capital expenditures) will be approximately $6.0 million in
2002. However, as a result of our better than expected operating performance, we
intend to request amendments to our loan agreements that would enable us to
increase our capital spending to $9.0 million for 2002. Net cash flows (used
for) provided by financing activities were $(4.0) million in the first six
months of 2002 compared to $47.9 million in the first six months of 2001. The
large increase in 2001 related to the addition of the new Honeywell product
lines.
In December 2001, we (i) sold 45,000 shares of Series B Redeemable
Preferred Stock for cash proceeds of $45.0 million, (ii) sold $80.0 million of
Aviall Services' unsecured senior notes due 2007 and (iii) entered into a new
$200.0 million senior secured credit facility. The proceeds from these
transactions were used to (i) pay Rolls-Royce $90.0 million for aftermarket
fulfillment rights and the purchase of the initial parts inventory under the RR
T56 engine parts agreement, (ii) repay our former $160.0 million senior secured
revolving credit facility and term loan and (iii) fund working capital
requirements.
11
On March 15, 2002 following stockholder approval, the Series B Redeemable
Preferred Stock was automatically converted into 45,110 shares of Series D
Redeemable Preferred Stock, which as of March 15, 2002 was convertible into
7,777,584 shares of common stock. Upon conversion of the Series B Redeemable
Preferred Stock, we recorded a $20.5 million deemed dividend reflecting the
difference between the closing market price of our common stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on March 15, 2002 and the $5.80 conversion price of the Series D
Redeemable Preferred Stock negotiated in December 2001, multiplied by the total
number of shares of common stock into which the Series D Redeemable Preferred
Stock could have been converted on March 15, 2002. Dividends on the Series D
Redeemable Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in additional shares of Series
D Redeemable Preferred Stock on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 9.0%.
From March 15, 2002 to June 30, 2002, we issued an additional 2,158 shares of
Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock in payment of the quarterly dividends due
March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, there were 47,158 shares
of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding which were convertible into
8,130,687 shares of common stock. Without the prior consent of the holders of
our Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock, we are prohibited from, among other
things, incurring certain types of additional debt, making specified payments
and capital expenditures, consolidating, merging with or acquiring another
business, or selling certain of our assets. Unless previously converted into
common stock, we must redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Redeemable
Preferred Stock on June 21, 2008 for $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, if any.
Our new senior secured credit facility consists of a $200.0 million
revolving credit and letter of credit facility due in 2006, with availability
determined by reference to a borrowing base calculated using our eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately
$105.0 million outstanding on our senior secured credit facility and had issued
letters of credit for approximately $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2002, we had
$60.2 million available for additional borrowings under our senior secured
credit facility and our borrowing base was $165.5 million. Borrowings under our
credit facility bear interest, at our option, based upon either: a Eurodollar
Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% depending upon certain
of our financial ratios, or a Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.5% to 2.0% depending upon certain of our financial ratios. The Base Rate is
the highest of the agent bank's base rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or
the sum of (i) 0.5% per annum, (ii) the agent bank's maximum annual assessment
rate during the latest three-week period and (iii) the agent bank's rate per
annum for the latest three-week period. As of June 30, 2002, the average
interest rate on our senior secured credit facility was 4.94%. A commitment fee
of 0.5% is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the credit facility.
Obligations under the new credit facility are collateralized by substantially
all of our domestic assets and 65% of the stock of each of our foreign
subsidiaries. Our credit facility also contains a clause that permits the
acceleration of amounts due at the option of the agent bank, and lock-box
provisions for the payment of outstanding borrowings. Based on the terms of our
new credit facility and pursuant to EITF Issue No. 95-22, "Balance Sheet
Classification of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations Involving Lock-Box
Arrangements," we have classified amounts outstanding under the senior secured
credit facility as current. We believe that receipts of cash as payment on
accounts receivable will be sufficient to satisfy amounts outstanding under the
senior secured credit facility as they become due.
Our senior secured credit facility contains various restrictive financial
covenants, including several that are based on earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization, extraordinary gains or losses, and one-time items,
or Adjusted EBITDA. First, our minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant requires us to
generate Adjusted EBITDA of at least $25.0 million during the first six months
of 2002 and $40.0 million during the first nine months of 2002. On December 31,
2002, our minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant will be replaced with a maximum
leverage ratio covenant that will measure the ratio of our outstanding debt to
our Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. This maximum leverage ratio
covenant will initially be set at 4.25 to 1 on December 31, 2002, and it will
periodically decline until it reaches 2.50 to 1 for December 31, 2004 and all
periods thereafter. In addition, on December 31, 2002, we must also comply with
a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant that will measure the ratio of our
Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters to our interest expense during
the trailing four quarters. The minimum interest coverage ratio covenant will
initially be set at 2.50 to 1 on December 31, 2002 and will periodically
increase until it reaches 3.50 to 1 for December 31, 2004 and all periods
thereafter. Furthermore, we must maintain a tangible net worth at or above
certain levels, including a minimum tangible net worth of $149.6 million on June
30, 2002, $157.9 million on September 30, 2002 and $160.9 million on December
31, 2002. Our tangible net worth covenant will periodically increase until it
reaches $315.3 million on December 31, 2006, at which time it will expire.
Finally, we must limit our capital expenditures to no more than $6.6 million for
2002, $11.3 million for 2003 and $11.0 million for each of 2004, 2005 and 2006.
12
We also maintain a revolving credit facility in Canada to balance the
Canadian dollar-denominated net assets of our Canadian subsidiary. The Canadian
$6.0 million credit facility was renewed in April 2002 and had an outstanding
balance of U.S. $1.0 million at June 30, 2002.
The $80.0 million of senior unsecured notes bear interest at 14.0% per
annum and mature on December 21, 2007, unless previously redeemed at our option.
Of the 14.0% interest rate on the senior unsecured notes, 13.0% is payable in
cash and 1.0% is payable in additional senior unsecured notes. On June 30, 2002,
we paid a cash interest payment of $2.7 million, and the outstanding principal
amount on our senior unsecured notes increased by $0.2 million to $80.4 million.
On March 15, 2002 following stockholder approval, we issued to our senior
unsecured noteholders warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares
of our common stock (subject to adjustment for antidilution events) at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share. We valued the warrants using an option
pricing model and recorded an $11.1 million discount on our senior unsecured
notes, which will be amortized over the term of the senior unsecured notes.
After the issuance of the warrants, the effective interest rate for the senior
unsecured notes is 15.3%.
Our senior unsecured notes also contain various restrictive financial
covenants, several of which are less restrictive than those relating to our
senior secured credit facility. First, our minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant
requires us to generate Adjusted EBITDA of at least $22.5 million during the
first six months of 2002 and $36.0 million during the first nine months of 2002.
On December 31, 2002, our minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant will be replaced with
a maximum leverage ratio covenant that will measure the ratio of our outstanding
debt to our Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. This maximum
leverage ratio covenant will initially be set at 4.75 to 1 on December 31, 2002,
and it will periodically decline until it reaches 3.00 to 1 for December 31,
2004 and all periods thereafter. In addition, on December 31, 2002, we must also
comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant that will measure the
ratio of our Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters to our interest
expense during the trailing four quarters. The minimum interest coverage ratio
covenant will initially be set at 2.00 to 1 on December 31, 2002 and will
periodically increase until it reaches 3.00 to 1 for December 31, 2004 and all
periods thereafter. Furthermore, we must maintain a tangible net worth at or
above certain levels, including a minimum tangible net worth of $146.0 million
on June 30, 2002, $153.0 million on September 30, 2002 and $155.0 million on
December 31, 2002. Our tangible net worth covenant will periodically increase
until it reaches $285.0 million on December 31, 2006, at which time it will
expire. Finally, we must limit our capital expenditures to no more than $7.3
million for 2002, $12.4 million for 2003 and $12.1 million for each of 2004,
2005 and 2006. We are currently in compliance with and expect to continue to be
in compliance with the covenants in our senior secured credit facility and
senior unsecured notes for at least the next twelve months.
In addition, without the prior consent of the holders of our senior
unsecured notes, we are prohibited from, among other things, incurring certain
types of additional debt, making specified payments and capital expenditures,
consolidating, merging with or acquiring another business, or selling certain of
our assets.
We have the option to redeem the senior unsecured notes prior to their
maturity at a premium. However, we do not currently intend to refinance these
notes in 2002 unless a significant event, such as the award of another major
distribution rights contract, exceeds our borrowing capacity. We continue to
explore opportunities to acquire additional product lines with a number of major
original equipment manufacturers but there is no certainty that any of these
discussions will lead to a major new contract in 2002 or beyond.
Additionally, we continually review opportunities for acquiring other
compatible businesses or operations. If a strategic acquisition candidate meets
our quantitative and qualitative thresholds, it is possible that such a
transaction might require us to refinance our senior unsecured notes.
We expect our interest expense to approximately double in 2002 due to the
higher borrowings, amortization of higher debt issuance costs and debt discount
and the relatively high interest rate on our senior unsecured notes. We believe
our cash flow from operations and available credit under our credit facilities
are sufficient to meet our anticipated normal working capital and operating
needs (including increased interest expense) for the next twelve months.

OUTLOOK
We primarily participate in the global aviation aftermarket through Aviall
Services and ILS. Our operations and results of operations are affected by the
general economic cycle, particularly as it influences flight activity in the
government/military, commercial, business and general aviation segments. We
benefit from our participation in the global aviation aftermarket by generating
revenues from many national economies and by actively participating in each of
the aviation sectors.
The effects of the September 11th terrorist attacks are still being felt
throughout the aviation community. Commercial air travel in the U.S. has been
significantly affected. The demand for commercial air travel in the U.S. was
significantly reduced in the period immediately following September 11th, and
the current global economic slowdown has also affected travel demand in other
regions such as Europe. The reduced flight activity and accompanying accelerated
retirement of older aircraft have reduced demand for some of the new replacement
parts we sell, particularly in the commercial aviation market. Airlines and
other aviation firms around the world are experiencing significant financial
losses, and the viability of some of these firms is questionable. We could be
negatively affected if our receivables from certain major customers become
uncollectible. Subsequent to quarter end, US Airways Group and Vanguard Airlines
each filed for bankruptcy protection. Our sales to these customers during the
first six months of 2002 were less than one percent of net sales. We believe our
reserves as of June 30, 2002 are adequate for our current exposure under the
bankruptcy.
Although ILS experienced a slight decrease in aviation industry-related
subscribers after September 11th, this decrease was partially offset by an
increase in the number of government-related and general aviation subscribers.
As a result, ILS has not experienced a material adverse impact on its business
as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks and related aftermath.
We believe the aviation industry has begun to show some slight signs of
recovery. Over time, we believe this will result in an increase in demand for
replacement parts. However, the length of time required for a full recovery is
not known, and the recovery could be threatened by a number of factors,
including slower economic growth or additional terrorist activity. At the same
time, the U.S. military and certain foreign militaries have significantly
increased their flight activities, especially in connection with increased
post-September 11th military operations around the world. Generally, business
and general aviation flight activity, with the exception of small, piston-engine
aircraft, has remained relatively stable after the September 11th restrictions
on flying were relaxed. During the first six months of 2002, on a pro forma
basis including direct sales of RR T56 parts made by Rolls-Royce, Aviall
Services' net sales would have been derived approximately 46% from
government/military sales, 26% from commercial airline sales and 28% from
general aviation sales. Not including the direct RR T56 sales made by
Rolls-Royce, Aviall Services' net sales were derived approximately 35% from
government/military sales, 31% from commercial airline sales and 34% from
general aviation sales.
In late December 2001, we were awarded exclusive ten-year worldwide
aftermarket fulfillment rights for the RR T56 series engine which is primarily
used for military transport aircraft. Under this agreement, we paid $90.0
million for the aftermarket fulfillment rights and the purchase of an initial
inventory of parts. The award is the largest in our history and is expected to
add in excess of $3.0 billion to our net sales over the ten-year life of the
agreement, which began January 2, 2002. Sales associated with this agreement
were expected to be at least $250 million in 2002 and are running at levels
above that estimate. This estimate includes direct sales by Rolls-Royce to the
U.S. military totaling approximately $74 million (valued at our contractual
prices) during the RR T56 transition program, which was completed near the end
of the second quarter of 2002. Rolls-Royce paid us a commission on these sales
equal to the gross margin we would have recognized on these orders had we
shipped them directly. As a result, during the first half of 2002, our net sales
did not reflect the amount of these direct sales by Rolls-Royce, but our
earnings were not affected. In addition, the agreement requires us to purchase
approximately $319 million of RR T56 inventory in 2002 with approximately $215
million fulfilled through the end of the second quarter of 2002.
Upon stockholder approval of the issuance of the Series D Redeemable
Preferred Stock, we recorded a $20.5 million noncash deemed dividend reflecting
the difference between the closing market price of the common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange on March 15, 2002 and the $5.80 conversion price of the
Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock negotiated in December 2001, multiplied by
the total number of shares of common stock into which the Series D Redeemable
Preferred Stock could have been converted on March 15, 2002. This one-time,
noncash charge reduced retained earnings and increased paid in capital within
the equity accounts and lowered earnings per share for the first quarter and the
first half of 2002 and will reduce the full year earnings per share for 2002.
14
We believe both ILS and Aviall Services are scalable businesses, with
significant portions of their expenses being relatively fixed in the short-term.
While this scalability produces positive results in a growing marketplace as can
be seen by the impact of the RR T56 agreement, in a shrinking marketplace
potential expense reductions can result in longer term impacts to the business,
such as delays in capital projects, and will require longer time periods to
produce cost reductions.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates and
foreign exchange rates. From time to time, we have used financial instruments to
offset such risks. We do not use financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. We have experienced no significant changes in market risk
during the first half of 2002. Our market risk is described in more detail in
